DE angelo IS FLOP
AS RING HEADL|NER
A
Bout With Sarron Stopped
When D. C. Feather Fails
to Show Fight.

T<HAT Frankie De Angelo clearly Is
near the end Of the rope as .
topline boxer was effectively
demonstrated last night when
the local Italian featherweight made
such a miserable showing at Portner's
Arena against Pete Sarron Of Birming-
ham that Referee Charlie Short halted
the bout in the seventh round because
of De Angeles utter lack Of willingness.
De Angelo either was hopelessly out
classed or responsible for one Of the
crudest loafing acts ever staged at the
Alexandria fight club. From the start
he crawled into shell from which he
steadfastly refused to emerge.
Sarron proved clever little piece of
fighting machinery. The 125-pound
Syrian did his best to make q fight OF
1t, giving De Angelo plenty Of oppor-
tunity to trade blows, but the local
feather would do little fist singing.
Sarron, a Snowman type of fighter, won
every round with ease, sometimes hit
ting De Angelo as many as 10 or IL
times without return. Six and q half
rounds of this proved too much for
Short and the fans, and the bout was
stopped.
DUT If the main bout failed to meas
- ure up to expectations the support
ing card supplied the action. The
semi -wind-up, which found Bucky Tay-
lor whipping Nick Antonelli. was a
"honey." Taylor. the hottest" of the
Baltimore battlers at present, meted out
enough punishment to fell a heavy
weight but the game Antonelli, knocked
down for no-count in the second
round and often belted clear across the
ring, always kept coming for more.
cision after the six rounds.
Taylor Is just about the hardest hit
ting 130-pounder to appear at Portner's
all season.
Young Van, local middleweight, sur
prised the clientele by decisively whip
ping the more experienced Walter Kirk
wood in another f1ashy bout. Van,
whose chin of late had begun to show
signs of unusual susceptibility, took
everything Kirkwood had and never was
in real danger. although he walked to
his corner at the end of the fifth round
a bit hazy.
DILLY SCHWARTZ, Alexandria,s re-
- formed Baker Boy" returned to
the ring after a long absence and
kayoed Soldier Bennett after minute
and 40 seconds of the first round. Ben
nett emerged from his corner with a
fierce scowl and a baggy mid-section.
The scowl didn't interest Schwartz but
the Soldiers stomach did. Billy planted
a right to the bread basket and Bennett
kissed the canvas for 10-count.
In the other bout. a four-rounder
Lloyd Phelps, for some reason, was
awarded the nod over Johnny Mays
Johnny, the better boxer, took the first
two rounds quite handily, dropped the
third round and just about held his
own in the fourth. but Phelps was

represent the local schools
in the New York Athletic Club
track meet Saturday night at
Madison Square Garden. Both
men are entered in the sprints
against the best dash men in the
country.
For the last two weeks, since they
ran In the Millrose games, both men
have been working hard to improve
themselves in their getaway, notwith-
standing that the weather has been un-
favorable to hard training. It is fact,
though not very well known, tina. It Is
dangerous to do much real hard work
in cold damp weather because Of the
risk Of pulled tendon.
Both Kelly and Widmyer did well Ia
the Millrose games, and both are ranked
among the best 10 sprinters in the
United States
Georgetown had a real team In the
Millrose games, but viii not be 50 rep

morrow night three are scheduled.
George Washington entertains Loyola,
which lately whipped Georgetown and
put up great battle with Catholic o..
and the game should be one Of the best
OF this latter half of the Colonial's sea-
son. Maryland is to meet st. Johns,
and ought to come out on top. Amer
lean University has Lynchburg ColleQs
ash Its guest. and Is expected to win.
This may be the best game Of the three,
although on the whole the George

The only other athletic contessz
scheduled for local schools before Sat-
urday night are q basket ball game be-
tween Georgetown and West Virginia
Friday night at Morgantown and be-
tween Gallaudet and Virginia Medical
College at Richmond. Georgetown
should win easily and the Gallaudet-
V. M. @. contest ought to be pretty
close. George Washington's swimming
team has q meet Friday nigtt with VIII
liam and Mary IN the Ambassador pool.
Repulsing late desperate v. p. l.
rally, George Washington,s basketers
turned back the Gobblers, 43-40, last
night at Blacksburg. Entering the last
half trailing, 20-31, v. p. T., led by its
captain, Bus Hall, outscored the Colo
nials 90 points to IL.
After a poht-for-p point battle most
OF the opening half, Howell, Noonan
and Zahn, shooting and passing in
sparkling style, got the Colonials out
to their substantial lead at the inter-

Before he had finished he had named
the eight men who almost year later
were suspended and who still are sus-
pended after a lapse of IL years.
why not put all those fellows on
the bench tomorrow and fill their places
with substitutes?" I suggested.
1--WE thought Of that" he answered,
''but how could it be done? We haven't
absolute proof. What would the public
think if I took all those fellows out
of the game? The public would have
to have an explanation, and what ex-
PLANTATION could give? We could
hardly hope to win with subs"
"You won today with those fellows

pitching" I reminded him.

other game for me, too. IN bet, but

With that weight on his mind
Gleason had to lead his team against
the Reds again the next day in the
fourth game of the series. and from
the press stand watched the proceed
ings, fully expecting that at any mo-
ment the scrappy Sox leader would
fly of the handle and grab one Of his
players by the throat, for this was
another dramatic contest, and Eddie
Cicotte, pitcher in the opening game,
was back on the mound.

~ EFORE that third game Of the
X 1919 world series was played in
Chicago Gleason and Comiskey,
manager and owner Of the
White Sox, had conference, both con-
vinced something was wrong. But they
decided there was nothing they could
do about 1t since they lacked absolute
proof. The show must go on.
Little Dick Kerr, midget le1t-hanoeo
pitcher, was selected by Gleason TO
pitch against Ray Fisher, and wnen
that game was over little Kerr was a
hero in Chicago, but not nearly so
great a hero as he was a year Water
when proof was obtained he had beaten
the Reds despite the fact some OF his
mates were attempting to throw" the
game. ~
Kerr shutout the Reds with three
hits. The White Sox won the game,
to 0.
The gamblers hadn't figured Kerr as
a dangerous man. They had cleaned
up on the first two games. They flg-
ured the players who were fixed
wouldn't be trying to win and that
under such conditions little Kerr didn't
have much of chance to win. They
figured here was a chance to reap an
other rich harvest, so they bet heavily
on the Reds again.
Gambler Crosses "Insiders."
WHEN that game was over, large
w part of the pelf obtained by the
''sure thing" betting on the first
two games had been wiped out. Not
only that, but the series now stood
two games for the Reds and one for
the White Sox. Another victory for
the Sox and the series would be tied
up-and a lot of the gamblers money
had been placed on the Reds to win
the series.
There's a little inside incident Of that
third game I unearthed almost a year
later. It seems a big gambler in the
East had not been taken in on the
amounts on the first two games. But
having heard things" he rushed out
to Chicago and was present the morn
ing before the third game was played.
He gathered that Dick Kerr was to
pitch, and that Kerr wasn't In the
plot, so he concluded that with a
pitcher IN there trying to win, the
Sox had good chance, and covered
a lot of the other gamblers money,
the amount being something like $50
600. He won and Immediately de-
parted for home, vowing to have no
part in further betting on the series.
Even though his team had won the
third game, Kid Gleason, fiery leader
of the Sox. wasn't happy. It was about
10 o'clock that night after the third
game that was called on the tele-
phone. Gleason was on the other end
of the wire.
Can you come over to my hotel?"

N IEW YORK, February 15.-
M Babe Ruth and Bobby
Il Y Jones have waged the
battle of the decade!
They haven't matched wallops
on the links, in the ball park or
inside the ring, but they have just
been through whirlwind struggle
of ballots in which Robert Tyre
Jones, retired undefeated golf
champion of the world, emerged
with hair-line decision over
George Herman Ruth, greatest
slugger of all time, as the most
dominating sports performer of
the glamorous decade, 1923-33.
It may serve only to stimulate the
main argument, but jury of SO vet
eran sports observers, representating
the Nations leading newspapers, voted
the athlete of the decade" award to
Jones by the thin margin of 207 points
to 202 for Ruth.
At the request of the Associated
Press, these so critics ranked the five
leading performers of the past 10 years,
taking in every sphere Of sporting ac-
tivity; in the United States as well as
abroad. The field was wide open. The
votes were Tailed on the basis of 5
points for first, for second place and
30 on. And that's where the fun began.
IRON the outset Ruth and Jones ran
l. neck and neck. The Babe was off
to slight lead, overhauled by
Jones at the halfway mark, and slightly
outr11n in the stretch drive. The Bam-
bino was hot on the heels of the
Georgian right up to the finish, how
ever, and came off with the distinc-
tion of getting a majority of first t-place
ballots, these standing % to 19 in
Ruths favor. --7=
William Harrison lJack) Dempsey,
chiefly because of his spectacular role
as a gate attraction during the decade,
rather than the calfber of his accom-
plishments, won third place easily with
125 points, but at no time did he
threaten either Of the paee-setters. His
two-time conqueror, Gene lTunney, fin
ished eighth with only 1S points.
The first TO-" on the basis Of the
lowing: -
fde1en Wills 4O0QyS SlXCn, PaaVO
Nurmi; seventh, Harold "Red" Grange;
eighth, Gene Tlnney; NINTH Robert

Cochet. -
THUS only one feminine performer,
L Mrs. Moody, and two foreign stars,
Nurmi and Cochet, found their way
into the top 10" of the decades most
brilliant stars. Mrs Moody was men
toned on nearly half the SO ballots for
ranking within the first S. The only
other woman named.at all was Glenna
Collett Ware, five-times holder Of the
American golf championship.
Base ball, golf, boxing, tennis, track
and foot bali, in that order. coralled
the most votes. Gridiron stars mostly
were passed up in the poll because
their performances in the main hinged
on the help they got from the rest of
the team, rather than upon prowess as
q soloist.
Nevertheless, Red Oranges exploits
were still vivid enough, eight years after
he left college, to gain him consider
able support.

Now It appears the boys realize q

eligibles-for instance, Ernie Dusek,

NfAYBE it's true at that. Maybe an

q signal for record breaking crowds to

sible among the different communities
with the result that the boys could

Is becoming something Of problem.
Hans Kampher is Immediately outside

morrow at the Washington Audi

They could do worse in the matter

ONE suggestion, emerging from the

Sihaaf bout, is that If boxing promoters
must book giant resin grinders a new
division, called super-heavyweight or
dreadnaught class, be opened
