SH|KAT ON TRIAL
FOR TITLE MATCH
One Is Brewing for Him if
He Throws Fields in
Show Tomorrow.

~ ICK SHIKAT, one of the few
better raSslers to be denied
a championship" match in
~ Washington, will get chance
to work up to one if he runs
true to form and fiips Harry Fields
tomorrow in the semi-windup of his
weekly mat show at Griffith Stadium,
according to Prof. Joe Turner.
In the event the ex-champ scores
over the youngster, Turner will match
him with the winner of feature match
tomorrow, two-hour time limit tussle
between Sander Szabo of Hungary
and Gino Garibaldi of st. Louis. If
he keeps surviving the usual con-
tenders build-up, then Shikat finally
will get a crack either at Don George
or Jim Londos, vouches the venerable
promoter.
In preliminary bouts tomorrow
Charley Allen will meet Bert Rubi, a
newcomer; Joe De Vito will engage
Henry Piers, and Father" Lumpkin,
former Georgia Tech grid star, will
tackle the now-beardless Russian,
Vanka zelesniak.

Landers Is Luckless.

DLOND, brittle Billy Landers has
ih about decided it just isn't in the
books for him to lick Eddie Burl.
A wear ago at Twin City Billy was
handing Eddie fancy pasting when
Burl caught him over the eye, opened
n wicked cut, and was awarded the
fight on a technical kayo.
Clashing in the eighth round semi
wind-up last night, Billy again was
outslashing the Jacksonville bantam
weight when he landed a hard left
to Burl's head and broke a thumb
in the fourth round. Thereafter
Billy's left hand was just something
wearing a glove and Eddie carried on
to win q whisker decision. At that
Billy earned the vote of Judge Henri
Di Sibour and most of the crowds
unoficial ballots.
Jimmy Reed, the clowning welter-
weight from Erie, Pa, went down
twice in the first round Of six-round
prelim from mysterious punches by
Mike Scipio of Baltimore and then
rose to battle to a draw, all but over
coming the big lead he allowed Scipio
to pile up.
In other prelims Bill Bullock, Dis
trict lightweight, outpointed Sammy
Lucas Of Cincinnati in six rounds
and Jackie Donnelly, Atlantic fleet
welter, was awarded the duke over
Harry Hershey of Jacksonville in a
four-rounder.

S[UGGER NEEDED

Victory Over Petrin Shows

RY FRANCIS E. STAN.

- ONE of these days, to please
Matte Browns unappreciative
fellow-townsmen local fight
~ promoters are bound to dig up
a ringster who'll pin back the
ears of the colorless District heavy
weight champ, but it's dollars to
doughnuts the eventual conqueror
won't be boxer.
The futility of trying to knock on
Brown with a boxer instead OF a
one-wallop kayo artist who STANDS
a chance Of landing lucky punch
perhaps never was more apparent
than today. following Nathan's latest
local conquest, a unanimous lO-rouno
decision over Don Petrin OF New
Jersey.
Far too smart for his young rival
Brown. though jeers and boos were
ringing in his ears with ms every
move. gave probably the best local
exhibition of his career last night at
Griffith Stadium to explode once ana
for all the theory that good, Snlity
little man is the type to check MS
winning streak, which has reacneo
eight straight. Supposedly the speed
ier. Petrin never was able to fathom
Natie's peculiar crouching style, gain
ing only two of the 10 rounds and
lasting the route only because Browns
punch still cannot dent an egg.

Petrin Lands Only Once.


NNLY in the second and final
rounds did Petrin even resem-
BILE the ring general who con-
ceded Eddie Stmms 20 pounds and
then pounded him for an impressive
victory two weeks ago. Matte lacked
Simms' wallop and outweighed Petrin
by less than 13. pounds, but the 176-
pound New Jerseyman was in far more
trouble as he backed and ran from
the paving, cagey washington scrap
per.
Petrin's best punch of the night, a
hard right uppercut to Browns jaw,
went for naught in discouraging fash
ion in the second heat as Matte,
shaken to his heels, ducked In close
while Petrin sought in vain to straight
en- him for another shot.
That was Petrin's only really good
blow, and thereafter, though he won
the round, he never was In the
running. Weak hitter that he is,
Matte narrowly missed dropping Don
on several occasions, particularly IN
the fourth and seventh sessions, when
he landed blow on blow to Petrin's
face as the little invader sought to
cover up and hold. In that seventh
heat Matte opened a mean cut over
the youngsters eye, but lacked the
snap in his punch to finish him.
The only other round to go against
Brown, the tenth, was Petrin's, chiefly
because Matte had just about punched
himself out in a determined effort to
put himself in solid with local fans
an effort so doomed to failure, to
hear the booes, that Billy Mccartney
manager of the Jewish scrapper, was
wont to query:

Practices His Speech.

Mr. Furr practiced at some length

"Hiding?" he stormed in a typical
fighters falsetto voice, "sure I was
hiding-in my house. That stuff
about me being missing for three days
is bunk. Why Harry Groves didn't
even call me up. He didn't even come
around. Just because I didn't show
up to train he figgers I'm running out.

'Why should that guy do this to

Still Up 10 Players.


CTILL another claims that a fiange
~ on the bottom of the back of
the club is the proper caper.
The truth of the whole thing lies
in the common sense view. They are
all good clubs. All of them will hit
the ball straight and far If the swing
is good. 1t comes down basically to
the swing and the way the club-face
is travelling when it meets the ball.
But there isn't any doubt that the
new irons with the weight in the heel
do feel good.
If the bright lads out there in the
club-designing laboratories where they
experiment with weights and balls
and impact-pounds and line of flight
and line of trajectory and other in
tangibles would find some way to
make John j. Golfer hit from the In
side out, and hit against a stiff left
side, and shift his weight properly and
hit the ball with his hands, they
would really do something worth
while for the game they try 10 pro-
mote.
Meanwhile you cannot 60 wrong in
buying golf clubs. Whether weighted
or Hanged. unweighted or unflanged,
they are all good, if they are standard
makes.

The Other Extreme.

AIOW comes along an iron club
IN that laughs at the weighted toe
as slice neutralizer, and boldly
fiaunts the bulk of its weight at the
heel of the implement. Between the
two claims you get dizzy, for this
newest wrinkle also is said to cut
down the possibility of slicing by plac-
ing the main sector of weight at the
heel of the club.
You either have to admit that both
are wrong or that both are right, for
both claim the same thing and they
justify their claim by two diametri-
cally different systems of weighing,
But when you Sift 'em down and
analyze 'em you will find that the old
slice will be there just the same
whether the weight is in the toe or
the heel.
You can make golf clubs Of any size
or shape. any weight anywhere, and
you still will slice If the club cuts
across the ball at the moment of i'm.
pact.
Personally, We have an idea that
a person taking up the game for the
first time must be little dizzy at the
claims that are made on behalf of
the different makes Of golf clubs.
Here they say that a weighted toe
makes for accuracy and along comes
another maker and says that II you

Houghton and readily agreed.

Capital. And II Olin has little

NhEtIE Always Is SOn1etIlilg HcN
under the golting sun in these
days of machine made golf
i clubs, numbered from to 10,
with a club for every shot and
the same old goofy swing. They can
make clubs to fit every distance, but
they haven't yet found out how to
change wide-beamed swing into the
thing of beauty that is the style Of
Tommy Armour or Macdonald Smith.
The newest wrinkle in golf clubs
designed to console the soul of the
slicing duffer is a radical departure
from the f1anged type of iron that
took the golf world by storm a few
years ago and the weighted toe type
that has found its way into the bag
of many good players.
Go where you will nowadays among
good golfers and you will find a pre-
ponderance of the fanged irons or
the weighted toe affairs. The fiange
is claimed to have the advantage of
getting the ball up faster, while the
weighted toe is said to neutralize the
slice-the big, bad bogey man of the

White Star Bakery
Workers Find NRA
GiveSNOPrOteCtiOn
BY a Worker Correspondent


ROCHESTER, N. Y. - Cur ex-
perience in a strike against the
White Star bakery in this city
shows to us that the Compliance
Board of the N. R. A. doesn't mean
a damn thing because we had, for
four weeks, hearings every week and
produced plenty of evidence, and
nothing was done about it. On the
Labor Board we got the decision
in our favor, and that's about all,
but the bosses know that they can
ignore the decision of the Board,
and in the meantime you can walk
the streets until such time as the
Labor Board might give you a deci-
sion and force the boss to recognize
the Union Agreement or the repre-
sentative of the workers.
The workers, of course, ever since
the N. R. A. came out, are all
worked up about the supposed pro-
lection they we're to receive from
these Compliance Boards, but which
never materializes, and then of
course after they find out that they
were fooled again, then the men
become convinced that they have
no protection and consequently
their attitude becomes different to-
wards the System in which they
had so much faith.
