If Spirits Come Back

-. NEW YORK, June eff ever
the ghosts of dead men return,
the ghost Of Tex Richard will
rub elbows with the throng in
the Madison Square Garden
Bowl one week from tomorrow
night. The two biggest men who
ever fought for the heavyweight
championship of the world in
the same ring will be fighting
-, that night, and if Richard loved
heavyweightS, the bigger they
were the better he loved them.
So he couldn't have helped cry
: ing tears Of JOY over Camera
and Baer.
o Here is a match made to the
old guy from Monies personal
: order-a real fight between
& giants: a primal, throwback.
.abysmal brute struggle. One
that would have brought the
: cave men and their little women
popping out Of the assures and
crevices of their rock-ribbed
suburban bungalows, and will
bring the spirit Of George Tex
winging down from Woodlawn,
il. as l say, spirits ever do wing
down from Woodlawn to sit In
on mortal matters.
It is a fight that is difficult
to vision anything spelling, even
the officials. But it seems to me
that the New York State Boxing
Commission should take great
pains in selecting their repre-
Sentatives, nevertheless.
Reach Right Verdict
This reference is definitely
NOT pointed at the three gentle
men who served at the recent
RoSs-McLarnin imbrogliO, since
$they, albeit not without some
travail, managed to arrive at the
right verdict. But it seems to
me pertinent to point out that
: whereas Barney and Jimmy
fought IS rounds, the gentlemen
who scored them have been
fighting pretty much ever since.
Now I have no quarrel what
. ever with Tom O'Rourke, Eddie
Y Forbes or Harold Barnes. I do
think that Mr.. O'Rourke's posi-
ton in the controversy was
much better before he took up
!. his pen than it was afterward.
He had seen and scored McLar-
min the winner. There were
hundreds, thousands even, who
agreed with him. However diff
-ferently they viewed the scrap
nobody was inclined to question
the honesty Of his opinion, or
his intention.
But when, in belligerent mood.
he set about not only defending
himself in print but also attack
ing his fellow officials he did
boxing a disservice.
=. =. No decision can ever please
everybody. There were those at
: this fight who would have con-
tended that Jimmy won, if he
had been carried out piece by
piece on plotting paper. Also
vice versa. No really rabid fan
in any sport is looking for JUS
tice. What he is looking for is
victory.
Leave EN- Alone

. officiating angle thus belatedly
, again for one reason, and only
one. That is to insist that the

VOWaTu Wl1luAAS tue PcAlAdu1'
Just when the new easy sail
ing" period will roll around, the
Griffs were at a loss to predict
today. For the big difference
this season is the fact that every
team in the race appears to be
stronger than in 1888.
Athletics Hard to Beat
Take the Philadelphia AS, now
in the Griffs' midst, for example
Surely this team is performing
in high-handed fashion these
days, even though the best posi-
ton in the standings is not held
The youngsters managed by
Connie Mack certainly have been
able to cause the strongest oppo,
sition plenty of embarrassment
all season, particularly when 1t
has come to winning close games,
The Griffs will vouch for this
as every contest played against
the Mackmen this season has been
a battle to the very limit-that is,
with the exception of the first two
of the year at Philadelphia where
9 to 6 and 7 to 2 losses were taken.
Yesterdays doubleheader proved
to be no exception, as both games
went extra innings before being
decided. The AS won the opener,
8 to 7 after 10 innings of play,
while the Griffs took the night
cap following another ten frames
of battle.
CrOwder Loses Again
In the first contest, General
Alvin Crowder and Alton Benton,
recruit Highlander, toiled in a
pitching duel. CroWder weakened
first by giving up three runs in
the tenth inning for what proved
to be the margin. But the GriffS
had the satisfaction of getting
Benton out of there before the
game ended as two runs were
chased across in the washington
end of the tenth before Big Bob
Kline rushed to the rescue.
The second game was even
more of pitchers battle than
the first. Monte Weaver and Joe
Cascarella hooked up in one OF
those very close hurting duels
weaver was the successful
pitcher in this instance as he
held the AS at bay after the
score had been tied at Sail in
the seventh, while the Griffs
pecked away at Cascarella until
they showed over the deciding
run in the tenth.
The Griffs won this nightcap
encounter in great style when
Kuhel laid down a perfect bunt
and beat it out after Myer and
Manush had walked. This turn
of affairs filled the bases with
nobody out.
Johnny Stone, the next batter
was put on the spot, but Johnny
standing up there as nonchantly
as if nothing exciting was on tap
whatsoever, picked out a choice
pitch and raped it past War
stler, at second, for a single
which drove across Blueg E
myers pinch runner) with the
winning marker.
The victory was Weaver'S sixth
of the campaign, and it enabled
him to step to the head of the
Griff pitchers in the matter of
| triumphS.

ing spoils the coming battle
between Max and Primo.
On paper and on the tape
measure and scales, this makes
the greatest battle of decade.
Like Rickard, the fans love the
big fellows. McLarnin and Ross
would make a marvellous re-
match right now. But there is
something about a heavyweight
scrap that no other sporting
event can boast. Somehow it
gets 'em all.
Now in general my quarrel
with the refereeing of fights is
that there is too much Of it
rather than too little. am
most assuredly not in favor Of
mayhem in, or out Of, the prize
ring. But I do believe that if
we are going to have fights we
should have fights. The other
alternative is to have none at
all.
am appending a letter from
Doctor Harold Barnes with
which I disagree in toto. DR..
Barnes is one of the better box
ing officials-fair, fearless. hon.
est. But he can't tell me that
the way to end low blows is to
keep checking them and point
ing them out. In this way Off
Gals are apt to become so in
tent on low punches they don't
see any other kind, and the
same is true of the fans.
Take this fight. Camera and
Baer are big enough, strong
enough. young enough. They
are we'll protected both by
nature and science. Why not
try letting them fight it out with
a minimum of official interfer.
ence?
Doctors Prescription
But here is DR.. Barnes letter.
See what you think about it:
Dear Bill:
There is much to be said on
the matter Of round penaliZar
ton for low punches.
From my point Of view as an
official and fan. there should
be no consideration Of a low
blow other than the fact that
it is lOw-intentional or unin-
territorial, damaging or inef-
fective, a low punch is foul.
1 have seldom seen a win
ming boxer repeatedly strike
low punches. 1t seems to me
that the more important the
contest and the more prOmi-
nent the boxer who is penalized
for low punches the better the
effect on the sport and the
quicker such blows will be
done away with.
Suppose ruling was made
giving the referee the option of
deciding whether a low punch
caused sufficient damage to
warrant penalizatiOn. Can you
imagine the state of affairs
such a condition might create.
1 am quite sure the referees
would not be in favor of such
responsibility.
Boxers, public, press and Of
ficials have gradually learned
that to foul is to lose a round
and perhaps the contest. Let's
keep it that way-amendmentS
to the present outstanding rule
Of the boxing bylaws would he
a step backwards. Sincerely:
HAROLD r. BARNES.

serve DIS well.
But some girls can't afford
all the clothes they should have.
They must select with care,
planning every stitch they buy,
so that one costume will serve
for many occasions.
Sports Clothes Best
If you have to select between
street clothes and sports clothes,
you can sometimes find some
thing that will do for both, that
will really serve all purposes.
It's better often to have sports
or semi-sports things, for they
will really go in town, If they
must, whereas the more formal
town clothes are absolutely out
of place for sports events.
Simple wool dresses worn with
felt hats just as simple, and
with a tweed coat overtop,
preferably fur trimmed if it is
to serve many purposes, are the
most adaptable costumes you
can find. They are perfect for
all outdoor events, even of the
most country kind. And they
do quite smartly in town, too,
for all but really formal occa-
SionS.
Do Double Duty
But you can go a step further
in your planning, and buy one
of the new fur-trimmed tweed
suits. with coat long enough to
wear over your wool dresses.
Then you may have the variety
of both suit and topcoat with
different frocks.
This idea of tweed suits with
fur trimming is not new, but
the suits this year are new. D..
different in various ways, so
that they look quite refreshing
to us. Fur collars are put on in
the shape of tunnels, revers,
sailor collars, or high. tight little
one-sided collars. Goats are
belted or not, as you please, and
have various unusual details to
make them different.
For Greater Variety
Skirts are straight or wrap
around, and blouSeS and sweat
ers give you an opportunity for
further variety. Goats come to
just above the hem of the skirt,
so that they are as long as the
usual separate sports coat.
We have a stunning suit in
our picture strip today, worn by
Mitzi Mayfair, but from a local
store. It's of a green tweed
with a thread of brown, and
has a very smart collar of
beaver, put on IN wide revers.
The Washington times., 1934-08-29

Cleanness of line, sterility Of
detail, simplicity of design and
color, all these things make for
a rather severe harmony, which
I believe is what men like.
Simplicity Rules
There is nothing Cutlery
about modern rooms. There is
a lack of fuSSy small objects
all over everything. Pieces of
furniture are compact, and they
fit into each other, or into the
walls in a way that charms the
order-loving minds of men.
Good design in the modern
manner is a matter of architec-
ture as well as of furniture. If
you're going in for a modern
apartment, you can't be really
successful unless you either
choose one that is we'll adapted,
perhaps especially built in the
right style, or one that can be
altered fairly easily, into the
mold it should follow.
Suitable Rooms Needed
Alterations will probably take
simple form, but should include
building in bookcases, adding
mirrors to too-plain wall spaces,
simplifying doors and mantels,
and generally making the place
as much matter of simplicity
as possible.
Furniture is available at al
most any price you want to
pay, but of course the better
grades are we'll worth the diff
ference, as good wood and
workmanship show up to ad-
vantage on such simple pieces.
Material Combined
Mixing woods is quite all
right, and using wood with
metal, glass and compositions
is good form, too. In fact,
many Of the individual pieces
use two or more materials.
Fabrics are interesting in
texture, but designs are simple,
to be in keeping with the lines
of furniture. Stripes, the new
plaids, checks, modernistic de.
signs, and conventional pat
terms are used when there is
pattern, but as often as not
there will be none.
The colorS you usually find
in modern upholstery are suit
able to a man, too. Rust, pea
cock blue, many browns. tans,
creams, and occasionally a
