WILSON BOXES
DUBL|NSKY

Welterweight boxing attempts a
new high at Griffith Stadium to-
night when Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn and Promoter Joe Turner
cooperate in the presentation of
six bouts comprising SO Sched-
uled rounds at Griffith Stadium.
Harry Dublinsky meets Bobby
Wilson, local knockout king in the
main bout. Bobby GoldStein, for
mer University of Virginia boxing
champion and the most popular
amateur fistcuffer ever turned out
of the District, makes his profes-
sional debut in a four-rounder
against Joe Barry.
Although Wilson seems destined
to go to the post on the short end
of 3-to-1 odds many are conceding
the local resident better than an
outside chance of coming through.
Bobby's terrific punching power
and ability to hit with either hand
having earned him 48 kayoes in
70 boxing bouts.
Dublinsky enters the. ring TO-
night backed by one of the best
records in fistiana. Only recently
he defeated Joe RoSsi, until then
ranking No. l welterweight title
contender by the New York State
Boxing Commission. The Chicago
Hebrew also has beaten Tony
Canzoneri, Eddie kid" Wolfe,
Tracey Cox, Jackie Davis and
Steve Halaiko and boxed Barney
Ross to a draw.

However, pigeon racing did not
take the step toward becoming
the highly organized and eff:
GENTLY conducted sport that it is
today in Europe and America
until 1881, when the Belgian Con
cors National" a race of 500
miles from Toulouse to Brussels,
was initiated.
Before the Belgian "Concors
National" pigeon racing followed
no system or order. A dozen fan
ciers, Dragging of their speedsters,
would, when the arguing got
heated enough, put up stakes, Sc
lect a city the proper distance
away, find means of having their
birds tossed" there and then
watched each others lofts like
hawks to see that there wasn't
any cheating.
Qualified Officials
With the creation OF the
"concors," duly qualified officials
were responsible for the proper
timing of the returns and they
used crude forerunners of the
now famous and expensive PlaS-
schaert, JundeS and Benzing tim
ing clocks. The Jundes are the
most popular among Washington
ianS.
England also organized its first
regular pigeon racing schedule
in 1881, and started on the career
which has made it the biggest pi-
geon racing nation in the world
with the fattest cash prizes.
The United States first re-
corded pigeon race took place in
1878, but it wasn't until a few
years later that fanciers, raising
pigeons chiefly for exhibition
purposes, started to raise them for
racing exclusively.
One Of the most famous birds
racing around 1850 was Gladia-

out of the Albany club lineup for
three games at Buffalo last week

in Toronto, that fly ball struck
him on the middle finger of his
right, or throwing hand and
benched him for five games, ex-
cept when Manager AL Mamaux
beckoned him out of the dugout
for pinch-hitting service.
Yesterday, when the Senators
opened a series here, Alabama
played his center field post for the
first time since last Monday.

He was sent into the game for
Chuck Hosteler in the seventh in
ming and played the rest of the
game, although not used in the
nightcap because his finger still
was painful.
At bat yesterday. Alabama
popped out and hit a tWo-bagger-
his first extra-base hit. The clout
was on a line over the second
baseman's head but there was no
one on base at the time. It was
his eleventh safe hit in So times
at bat, which gives him a batting
average Of .208.
In the field he had trouble
on one fly ball, miSjudging it
because of the sun, but he had
to catch it nevertheless.

Trading of Dean To

MED that Dizzy Dean had been
traded to the Chicago Cubs for

"NOt a particle Of truth to

'In fact we've never talked
about trading Dizzy to anybody.
The Cubs have never indicated
they'd want Dizzy even If we
wanted to trade him."

Racing pigeons, of course, are
all of the homer or carrier species.
For centuries, carrier pigeons had
been used to carry communica-
tions during warfare and also
"billets doux," and occasionally
for racing.
Shrewd Belgian
A Shrewd Belgian of Antwerp,
with an eye out for new ways of
picking up a "Sou" or two, began
breeding the birds for speed and
stamina about 1910 and sold them
to European armies. The Ant

Liege and another in Brussels,

This story naturally will be de-

kill deal that understand has
been tentatively agreed upon for
several weeks. Both clubs have to

named for the rest of the season
and, in the case of the Cardinals,
their hope of overtaking the

almost entirely with the elder

fretful, no matter what the sac.

ing" the thing.
Not Ready to Part
The Cards, as 1 get it, were not
ready to part with Dean until
after the st. Paul incident, in
which another showdown came be-
tween Dean and Manager Frisch
when the former declined to leave
the dugout and take a bow during
an exhibition game. Prior to the
June Is deadline on trades, in
fact, the st. Louis club, hear was
approached by both the Dodgers
and Cubs about Dean, but would
not do business on this basis.
After st. Paul, however, their
ideas changed very radically, es-
pecially after Frisch is said to
have gone to Owner Sam Breadon
and demanded that, for the sake
of team discipline, something be
done about this violent, obstreper.
Gus young man. Sans reaction,
they say, was to go back at the
Cubs through Philip K. Wrigley,
who, after comforting with Man
ager Charley Grimm, made the
Cards the offer quoted above, with
the understanding that everything
was to be tentative until another
meeting could be arranged after
the close of the season.
Follow Policy
The inclusion of Warneke, it
was said, came without pang.
the Cubs being very diSappoint-
ed'' by his performance this year.
Klein, of course, is window dress
ing. He might go we'll in st.
Louis, but the fact is that he has
never even distantly approached
the pace he showed the National
League in Philadelphia.
Besides the passing of Klein.
like that of Hazen Cuyler, would
only be conforming with the new
policy of the outfit. This calls
for youth and enthusiasm and
the elimination of name players,
although I hardly see how they
can reconcile that attitude with
the acquisition of Jerome H. Dean.
It is explained, however, that the
Cubs mean to build their club
around Dean and then go along
with Galan, Cavaretta, Hack,
ODea, Lee and other juveniles.
AS for the Cards, they have
undoubtedly reached point
where two Deans on the ball club
are one in excess of the limit.
AS matters stand, Dizzy has only
to say me and Paul; we're goin'
home" and they grovel at his
feet.
Besides, they claim Paul will
be a better pitcher without his
brother, which may be. I'd be
more sure of it if it wasn't for
the fact that all Paul will have
to do now is pitch against him.
