AS soon as the fight was over,
the principals were arrested by
the State authorities. Prize fight
ing was barred in Florida, but the
promoters saw to it there was no
interference until the bout was
completed.
Bitter Feeling
There was bitter feeling be-
tween the men, which was plainly
evident when Referee Kelly called
them together for instructions
and gave them words of advice
about breaking away at his order.
"YOu will now shake hands,"
Honest john told them.
Neither man Obeyed, however.
Again came the request for the
formal sign of amity. But the
fighters stood like stone men.
There was no shake"
In the second round Corbett

pie and Mitchell was knocked
flat on his back. Corbett lost
his head for a minute. He was
so eager to get at his adversary
that he started to punch him
while he was down. But the
restraining hand of the referee
saved him. When the third round
opened Mitchell responded very
slowly. He appeared to be stiff
and sore. Corbett sprang at
him and rushed him into a cor

inflammation when Schaaf was
examined by DR.. William Walker,
on the afternoon of the bout, it
says:
"The deceased had a chronic

tits characterized by lymphO-
cytic infiltration around the
blood vessels in the sub
arachnOid space and the ad-
jacent c0rtex. The cause of
the inflammation cannot be
known with certainty. but it
may be referred to the recent
attack of influenza with a
reasonable degree of prOba-
bility.
"The meningO- -encephalitis OBJ
viOusly antedated the boxing
match, but because of its in
sidiOus development it would
not necessarily give symptoms
and would have been highly
improbable to detect at the
time before the bout. In the

with Schaaf's boxing skill so
that he was less able to avoid
blows"

It's the same old story with the

pitchers more than a chlorine

Two more pitchers of the right
sort and the Phils would be a
cinch to win the pennant. But
they must be the right kind Of
pitchers. 1t takes more than a

Dazzy Vance would have been
flop there and he knew 1t.
That's why the speed ball artist
didn't pitch there for years. A
tap and his fast ball became a
homer.
Depend on Rhem
Old Pete Alexander was a sue
cess there. because he had phe-
nomenal control and could keep
the ball at the hitters' knees. I
don't believe Carl Mays and his
underhand delivery ever lost a
game there. Cy Moore, of the

his sinker ball.

Roy Hansen. Big Jim Elliott. as

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

The reign of the 8-inch golf
cups here is due for a short life.
Given their trials at the Ban

appeared slight sentiment for
these craters in the greens.
Practically every good golfer
and most of the buffers vetoed
Gene Sarazen's suggestion.
Mcclure in Accord
Bill Mcclure, one of the better
players at Rock Greek Park, was
totally in accord with the bigger
cups. AS an example, he scored
IS on B course, where the 8-inch
cups have been installed, and "a
on A course, where the standard
44-inch cups remain untouched.
Nick Altrock, who bows to few
putters hereabouts, sees no ad-
vantage in the larger cups.
AS Tony Sylvester, Bannock-
burn pro, says:
well keep the 8-inch cups
until the golfers tire of them"
Bannockburn put the 8-inch
cups on it's last nine.
The 8-inch cups lasted but three
days at East Potomac Park. being
tried out on Course D. They met
with such general disfavor that

ordered them removed late Sat-
urday night and the regular cups
were returned for play early yes
terday morning.
Sarazen himself has discovered
the 8-inch proposition is out of
proportion to all golf theory and
has retracted. He has dropped
down to 6 inches Within a
months time he'll probably an

Virginia's boxers gave Navy's

Georgetown's quint came off
