at the last minute Abe refused to
fight unless the bout would be called
a draw if both men were on their

miniature sheep deg. He is about the
size of spitz, with dense, woody
white coat, short tail carried over the
back, rounded ears carried upright, a
rather square head and a very for

says that in Germany, where she
bought her dog, the tails are COM

large old English sheep dogs. Her

= EMINENT in boxing is about
~ as lacking as blanks in Mister
Dillinser's cop pistol. but new
- ertheleSs there are some
among the hard-bitten local
pugilistic gentry who would like to
see, for auld lang syne, a gent named
Harry Sheehy referee a bit in to-
morrow's fistic show at the Riding
and Hunt Club.
There is chance he will, too, for
Sheehy Is one of the five licensed
referees for both pro and amateur
bouts, and in case you don't know
him as Sheehy he used to be Kid
Sullivan. the gosh-darndest piece of
hghting machinery ever turned out
in this taown.
Sentiment will play no part, of
course, for the boxing commish will
give each ump his turn, but If fate
should decree that the National Cap
ital's greatest figure play a part in
its first legal fight show it would be
no more than appropriate.
The Kid never got much from the
boxing game. What dough he earned
in the ring he spent quickly and
lavishly. Often it went when the de-
clslon was passed down-into a rival
bettor's hands. From what I can
learn he should have been champion,
but in each of his big fights Dame
Fortune cast only frown his way
If the fistic gods could sweep away,
for one night, 80 years from the
Kids Sc on this earth, he could
command a pretty sum to open the
legal fight era at Grifith Stadium.
Prof. Jose Turner willingly would
mortgage his Browning and Londos

DUT back to reality, the Kid was

Rather. For Costa. it seems, twice
outpointed the clever, speedy Field
man and scored a knockout over Rat
ner in eight rounds.
Dropping scraps to Costa didn't de-
mote Feldman and Rather to the pre-
liminary class, for joey is some shakes
as fighter and was full-fledged
lightweight to boot while they. at
best, can fatten up only to the junior
lightweight class and more often have
battled as feathers. But those whip
pings weren't welcomed, either, and
there would be many more distaste-
full things in the world for them than
seeking revenge, especially in this new
and, perhaps, profitable setting.
"oMoRRow's battle will mark
the first times the paths of
these little Jewish scrappers
have crossed, but they've been up
against the best in the racket and
won enough times to stick with the
elite
Strangely enough their best bouts
were losing ones. Ratner's best ef-
fort was against Benny Bass at Long
Island. At the end of 10 hot heats
Bass was given the decision. but both
boys were wobbling at the bell
Feldman, who holds wins over
Freddie Miller, Tommy Paul, Kid
Francis and Pete De Grasse, put up
his best scrap against Kid Chocolate
when the Keed was tops. They met
In New York in 1882 and Chocolate
won on a knockout in the twelfth
round.
But while Feldman and Rather are
busy tryin to bust each others pro-
boscis in their little scrap, Costa will
be encountering some trouble on his
own hook when he steps against
Charley Conner of Baltimore, in the
twin 10-round tuSsle.
A terrific puncher who has num-
bered Charley Won Reedon and Harry
Carlton among his knockout victims,
Costa will be meeting another puncher
in Conner. Like the New Jersey
clouter, Charleys forte is his wallop,
and that he can toss a mean hook
