IzZy Elusive Target.

r. IKE FURR, the career Of jan
nazzo has been brief but. if
anything, his rise even more
rapid. The good-looking Italian first
began to box seriously in 1888 and at
the outset there was little to indicate
that he would step forth within two
years as a ranking welter.
In 1888 he fought 19 times, all in
preliminary bouts. and showed rec
ord of only 10 victories. 6 losses and
3 draws. The following year. con-
fining himself to preliminary bouts
until late in 1884. Jannazzo began to
hit his stride. He won nine bouts, drew
In five, and lost only one That one
loss was to little-known. Kenny La
Sale, but Jannazzo Offset that by vic
tories over Steve Halaiko Joe Ross,
Stanley Loayza and Al Cassimini.
This year he made his big bid.
Graduating to 10 and Is round tus-
sles, Jannazzo whipped Jackie Davis.
Ray Napolitano and CasSimini and
Halaiko again. But perhaps the
brightest performance of all was that
against Kid Azteca, Mexican cham
pion, who is being boosted as the
logical contender for crack at Jimmy
McLarnin's crown.
Invading Azteca's home town, Mex
ico City, Jannazzo lost a decision by
a single round before $4,000 fans.
To beat this rising Italian, F'urr
probably will have to turn boxer, for
saking the slugging role he assumed
when he fought and f1attened Sid
Silas two weeks ago. JannaZzo. iudg-
ing by the record books, is no easy
target to tag solidly and there is no
assurance that even a blow to the
button will drop the Brooklynite. Izzy
has yet to be knocked out.
Prelims Best of Year.
- AShY the best flock of prelimi-
II naries of the indoor season, and
perhaps since legalization Of
fisticuffing in the District, will support
the main go. Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn, with the approving nod of
Promoter Joe Turner, has coralled
six newcomers on the supporting card
of four Ground battles. Five of the
eight prelim artists, claims Ahearn.
have appeared as main-eventers.
Baby Miller, a Seminole Indian
from Florida, and Joe Teens. Greek,
also hailing from the Everglades, are
conceded real chances of stealing the
show. Miller, who holds wins over
Tony Lopez, Joe Guzman, Chino AL
verez and Moon Mullins, faces Phil
Baker, Connecticut featherweight,
fighting for Max Hoff. Baker Is an
experienced youngster and. incidental
ly, a cousin of the accordion player
of the same name. Teens, heralded
by Manager Gave Menendez as the
foremost Greek battler in the coun-
try Greek fighters are as scarce as
hens teeth, incidentally, will meet
Pete Powell of Norfolk Both have
turned in some main-event perform
ances. especially Teens, who has whip
ped Eddie Burl and Charlie Won
Reedon, among others.
Two welterweight fights list Jimmy
Wade of Florida and LIE Roy link
ham of Baltimore. neither of whom
has fought in the Capital. Wade is
the more experienced of the pair. but
Zinkham packs quite a wallop: Roy
Manley and Pete Bevans, local prod
ucts, will open the show.

Shifted from Rock Greek
Park to East Potomac Park to handle
golf affairs at Washington's biggest
public course, B. Harry Graham, who
isn't happy unless he Is promoting q
links afffay for the men who pay as
they play, is buzzing with ideas for
bigger and better golf tournaments for
his public links lads as soon as good
weather comes along.
Harry used to run of at least four
big tournaments year when he held
down the fort at Rock Greek Park.
Now that he is in charge at East Po-
tornac Park he Is working along the
same lines, with the slogan bigger
and better golf tournaments for pub
lie links golfers"
A little more than two weeks hence
his first big affair Of the 1885 season
will get under way It is billed as the
East Potomac Park open," and will
include, Harry hopes, all the top-liners
of municipal golf, including Claude
Rippy, the guy who never had a
chance and is getting one this year.
But all Is not serene and calm along
the municipal golf front, at least
where Rippy is concerned, for when
the smooth swinger from Shelby, N. c.,
tossed of his job as delivery boy for
q Southeast Washington purveyor Of
groceries, to take Job with the S. G..
Loeffler organization, he laid himself
wide open to a lot Of squawks from
his erstwhile rivals on the public
courses. Rippy is installed today as
secretary" to Harry Graham at East
Potomac Park and to say that some
Of the lads are concerned about his
status is to put 1t mildly. At least one
budding young public links star has
made the statement publicly that he
IS going OF protest Rippy's amateur
standing on the general premise that
Rippy is working with q golf promo
ton concern and therefore should not
be classed as an amateur golfer. But
If Rippy is working as a Secretary
and did not obtain his job because of
his skill as a golfer. this gent hasn't
leg to stand on, and probably he
won't get to first base with his squawk
anyhow. because there is no local body
administering the affairs of public
links golf. particularly as it apper-
tains to the amateur code.

 Good drivers slow down for every intersection whetheri it is controlled by traffic signal, a uni formed officer, or is just an un- guarded stop. They do this in order to be prepared for unforeseen emergencies. A good driver never tries to beat the light although the way may seem to be clear ahead. It is easy to be a good driver.

 OIivet, Mich, April 12 (UP)-- For seven months no raucous class bells have rung on the Olivet College campus, nor have thele been "cuts", examinations, or com- pulsory lectures for the POT stu- dents. The result may have a marked effect on the future nt America's system of higher educa- tion.
 Seven months ago, Joseph H. Brewer, Jr, 36-year-old president of the 91-year-old college, estab- lished the premise that students go to college to study. On that basis, he placed culture on plates before the students and let them help themselves. The results have been gratifying and he believes they will eventually benefit the na- tional system.
 New College Deal
 The New Deal, designed accord ing to President Brewer to break the lockstep of the elaborate ma chinery by which we conceal ie- norance," was put into effect last September at this little college n farm area 27 miles south oI Lansing.
 On the Olivet campus, an in- formal examination is the only en- trance requirement. Upon being received, the student is assigned to a "basic tutor" in the division where he plans to study-junior or senior. Ehe tutor remains his guide through college, planning his work and stimulating his thought.
 The work program consists of lectures, seminars, and confer ences. Lectures are lectures and students may attend or not, sr they please. There is no roll cal, yet the percentage of attendance is high.

Pittsburg, July .31--(UP)-Man- ager Charlie Grimm of the Chicago Cubs denied today that he had re- leased Walter Stephenson, belliE- erent third-string catcher. for fighting with Bill urges at Forbes field yesterday.
 We're shipping him to Los An- geles or some other club on op- tion," Grimm told the United Press. "A year out of the majors will teach him a good lesson. Walters just hot-headed boy"
 The vacancy will be filled in a day or two, Grimm said, though he was uncertain who -wuold replace Stephenson.
 Until yesterday, we were 100 per cent harmonious ball club in the thick of a pennant fight" Grimm continued. That little flareup of Stephenson's jarred all of us for awhile, but you can quote me as saying there's no dissension on the team now" Stephenson was reported resent full of caustic remarks hurled at him by other club members and picked Jurges to bear the brunt of his resentment. Their scrap before the Cubs dugout yesterday was in- corrupted before any damage was done.
