REED POSTS
FORTE EFT To
MAKE WEIGHT

Reno Fernandez has posted a
weight forfeit to make 140 pounds
for his bout with Kenny Reed here
Friday night. Reed will try to build
up to about 1856. Both boys expect
to win this bout, Fernandez having
been promised chance at Sammy
O'Dell, Negro main eventer in San
Diego and Kenny will probably be
matched with Chalkie Wright there
in the near future if he turns in a
win.
Tommy Hill. willing and rugged
stablemate of Kenny, is almost as
popular a boxer as Reed. He has
taken on all comers in the 145-
pound class and has lost but two
starts in over year Tiger Flow
ers who boxes him in the eight
round second main event this week
fought a draw with Hill in Tijuana
recently. According to sll reports
this was probably the best scrap
put on in the border city arena for
many moons.
Joe Gotta will meet tougher COM
petition this week when he takes on
that hard hitting San Diego Fill
pino, Joe Cebu in the six-round
special bout. Gotta has a large fol-
lowing of Mexicali fans who think
he is another Joe Rivers and will
be ON hand to see him in his fight
here Friday night
The management is arranging a
four-round preliminary between two
local boys and promises a real scrap
for this event.
The policy of putting on bigger
and better programs at the local
arena and inviting the ladies to at
tend each week has had its reward,
according to the club management.
Over 400 feminine fight fans at
tended the bouts two weeks ago and
it is expected that a still larger
number will be in the arena Friday
night to see the return match be-
tween Reed and Fernandez. Both
these scrappers are very popular
with the ladies and receive a large
fan mail
These boys are also ace high with
the menfolk, too, as they always
put on real scraps every time they
get in the ring.

COMEDY PAIR
OPEN TONIGHT.
At THEATRE

The hobo's art of riding the
rods was known back in the med
ieyal days, as Bert Wheeler and
Robert Woolsey demonstrate in
their starring roles in "Cockeyed
Cavaliers which will be the fea-
ture attraction at the United Ar
lists theatre, today and tomorrow.
q broad burlesque of that period,
with the comic pair starred as
pair of panhandling paladins.
In this RKO-Radio funfilm, Bert
and Bob portray two out-at-el-
bows adventurers who ride the rods
of regal stage-coaches. Their itin-
erary throws them in with Mary
Ann, pretty girl masquerading as
a boy to escape forced marriage
to the fat old Duke of Weskit
The trio continues vagabonding
until they inadvertently crash the
Dukes palace. There Bob has a
romance with Lady Genevieve and
Bert woos Mary Ann. Love runs
smooth and laughs run wild until
Genevieve IS husband returns from
the hunt and the Duke discovers
Mary Ann! An insanely funny wild
boar hunt climaXeS this, one of
the best Wheeler-W -Woolsey joyfests.
Mark Sandrich directed "Cock-
eye Cavaliers which features the

CRAMERS DROP
CLOSE ONE To
COCA COLAS

Homeruns, triples and singles
filled the air at Wilson school field
last night as the Coca Colas took
a 1919 decision from the Cramer
Bakery team. 1t took the Fawcett
team 10 innings to turn the trick
but 1t was done and the winners
tHre now tied with the Cox Broth
erss Grocers for first place in the
second half of the league race.
incidentally it was a game OF
strikeouts with Lynn Stewart
chalking up 18 to his credit and
Bob O'Brien getting IL. Stewart
passed three and O'Brien four.
Clouters of homeruns were Brown,
Priest. Smith and Holcomb while
Ted Ehmke got two triples and
Smith double for the extra base
clouting of the evening. The game
seesawed back and forth until the
last Of the tenth when the Coca
Colas scored three runs to break a
tie and walk off with the verdict.
Coming into the last inning with
the score tied, TT, the Bakers
scored twice on a walk, two singles
and an error. 1t looked then as il
there were nothing left to be done
except pick up the war clubs and
gloves and call it day.
However, the Coca Colas got two
men on in their half of the tenth
and Ted Ehmke came through with
his second triple of the game. This
brought in his two mates and an
overthrow at third. made in an at
tempt to catch him coming in to
that base, allowed Ted to score the
winning run.
y Tonight the first round champion
Studebakers and Maggie IS Fat Boys
win clash. The latter have ac-
uuired the services of new pitcher
and it is expected that he will give
the other teams much tougher
competition than they met IN
games during the first half.

NEW YORK, July II. - Echoes
of baseball's seige guns resounded
today in the ears of $4,000 frenzied
patrons and a select but ssddened
group of pitchers as the aftermath
of the second annual all-star con-
test.
The American 'leaguers won-9 to
7-if that means anything. IT
meant very little to the massed
banks Of uproarious customers who
paid $4,000 into the chest of the
baseball players fund, less expenses.
1t was not the score, but the way
1t was rolled up-the dramatic,
stirring cross-section of the game
in every phase-that made shriek-
ing bedlam out of the polo grounds,
such as few world series have seen.
Master minding had virtually
nothing to do with it. 1t was an
epic of throwing arms and swing
ing bats-and nothing else. Across
the scroll of baseball history was
written the glittering name of Carl
Hubbell, left handler of the Giants,
who paralyzed the mightiest war
clubs the modern game has known
for three almost perfect innings.
Carved in Homeric figures below
was the record of those laundering
bats that blasted the air with a de-
tonating roar of base hits when
Bubbells lett-handed witchery was
withdrawn.

LONDON, July IL. To Lady
Plimsoll. wife of Lord Plimsoll, mil
lionaire biscuit manufacturer, be-
longs the honor of inventing the
latest addition to England's roll of
popular games.
Lady Plimsoll's brainchild was
the result of the drought which has
made water such a precious COM
modify here. To avoid extrava-
gance, she ordered green lines
painted around all bathtubs at her
home in Grosvenor- Crescent, six
inches from the bottom, and ordered
that water must not be drawn above
the lines.
For a while the sport of bathing
in six inches of water was strictly
Plimsoll family affair. And as far
as we know there was no inter-
family competition to reduce it to
lower level, six inches being con-
sidered the dead maximum. But
one day someone discovered (prob-
ably by going without breakfas0
that five inches would suffice for
bath. From that time on COM
petition grew hot and heavy until
finally the line was considerably
lowered.
In some manner news of the
"Plimsoll line" and the sport it af-
forded, reached the outside world.
The game caught on Immediately.
Soon it seemed that half the popu-
]ation of London was attempting to
lower the Plimsoll record, said to
be two inches.
Those whose tubs did not already
contain natural rings, painted
green ones in, and it was not long
until the Plimsoll achievement had
been beaten half a dozen times.
In fact, three days after the news
papers first carried the story of
the "Plimsoll line" Mrs. Elliott
Dixby of Chelsea claimed a new
record for her daughter, Sarah
Elizabeth Dixby. The mark was
recognized, and quite a fuss made
over Mrs. Digby. until it was learn
ed through a jealous neighbor that
Sarah Elizabeth, but four months
old, weighed short of ten pounds.
This incident resulted in the es-
tablishment of classes according to
urpio1,f ooo ond dict,lo co.,,a,,t

baby of two now cannot compete
with an adult without first grant,
ing handicap, and young boys,
who have never been overly parti-
cular about the cleanliness of their
neck and knees, must concede three
pints of water.
Rules governing a hundred other
points also had to be drawn up.
For example, in record attempts
cake soap, and not the easier lath-
ering chip and flakes, must be used.
Wash rags are compulsory and it is
illegal to have a friend scrub the
back.
1t was highly fitting that Lady
Plimsoll should have discovered the
sport, for it was her husbands ia
ther who devised the original
"Plimsoll line'-the marking above
which a ship, by law, must not be
loaded. II is not unlikely that
Lady Plimsoll will gain a place in
the next royal honors list, probably
as first ranking lady of the bath.

A few weeks later he gave an equally
severe beating in 48 rounds, which
lasted an hour and 20 minutes, to one
Smith, a boot closer at Wormwood

the fight.
After ODonnell's victory there was

GIBBS WHIPS REED
IN SNAPPY BATTLE
0utpoints Rival Welterweight in
Colored Show, Which Draws
Less Than 1000.

MYTH one of the most impressive
w welterweight performances Of
the local indoor season, Georgia
Gibbs of Atlantic City outpointed CAL
vim Reed, veteran Philadelphian. in
the 10-round feature of colored box
ing show last night at the Washing
ton Auditorium
A portion of the proceeds were turned
over to the Boys Summer Camp
fund by the Washington Athletic Club,
new boxing organization which de-
butted with last nights card.
Gibbs, speedier and a sharper
puncher, led all the way to win a
unanimous decision from the Phila-
delphia battler, who proved of so
much use last Summer in training
Jimmy McLarnin for his second fight
with Barney Ross.
The main event easily was the most
interesting on the program, which was
attended by a crowd of less than
1000.
One knockout marked the evenings
fisticuffing. Sammy Williams. local
middleweight, flattened Kid Clay of
Norfolk in the first round of Sched-
uled six-rounder. In the eight-round
semi-hnal, Jimmy Rose of New York
outpointed Wildcat Thomas, Roanoke
middleweight.
In other bouts Ted King of At
lantic and Carlos Zavolla of this city,
lightweights, drew in six rounds, and
Tod Green decisioned Bobby Miles in
four-round all-local lightweight go.
