Won III Scraps Last Year.

ESPITE his lengthy career, Ber-
nard had fought only So pro
battles until this year. He won
IA by knockouts, 26 by decision, lost
13. drew in 4, and was knocked out
once. Santiago Gorilla turned Roger
over in the Midwesterner's final 1888
appearance, but Bernard came back
in 1884, when he participated in II
scraps. OF these he won by kayoes,
by decisions, drew in one, and lost
split decisions to four of the best
Lew Ambers, Mike Belloise, Freddy
Miller and Leonard Del Gino. He gave
away pounds to Ambers.
Doherty's victim in his only local
start was Frankie Wolfram, the clever
Canadian Clouter. This was Doherty's
first start in five months, but he was
impressive in spite of the lay-off and
natural rustiness. The Brooklynite's
best bet is right to the body.
The preliminary card follows:
Honey Boy Snipes VS.. Elmer Bezenah,
welterweights, 6 rounds; Baby Miller

Third Strike Still Enough.

THEY were indicted into Office with
two strikes on 'em. Not one
had sought the office of a
District boxing commissioner; not
one had any real desire for the job.
Nevertheless there was jealousy and
hard feeling on the part of many. A
vicious editorial TRADE was launched
even before the solons had a chance
to lift finger.
But Maj Ernest w. Brown, Fred
Buchholz and Maj. Lucien Vandoren
still had strike left, and it is an old
base ball axiom that it takes only one
to hit it. They hired competent
guide, the astute Maj. Harvey L.
Miller, former Navy boxing champion,
manager, second, referee, promoter
and matchmaker. Maj. Miller was
named secretary.
The four of 'em spit on their
hands and went to work, taking
the most liberal boxing law in
the United States and turning
out a finished ring code that
has won Nation wide admira-
ton.
That was step No. /. There were
other and even more difficult prob
lens. Here was a new boxing ter
ritory, open to all, new to most. Fol-
obvious reasons it was deemed advis-
able to cultivate domestic officials
rather than open the doors to fisti-
ana's transiepts. This was the second
step.

HAS GOOD CHANCE
OPPOSING DOHERTY
Veteran, in D. C. Debut, Has
Crafty Boxer as Rival
Tomorrow Night.
BY FRANCIS E. STANN.

w YASHINGTON'S feather
vA/ weight elimination tour
v v nament" moves forward
again this week with a
high-powered little piece of f1stic artil-
lery, Roger Bernard, standing good
chance to introduce the biggest boom
heard in a local ring since Benny Bass
bounced a wallop off Petey Sarron's
trunks in 1934's prize fouling act.
A little worn. perhaps, but still
dangerous enough to be sldeSteppeo
with great frequency by ranking 1876
Founders, Bernard debuts under the
Joe Turner -Goldie Ahearn banner
tomorrow night at the Washington
Auditorium against Brooklyn's Joe
Doherty, a popular winner in his first
and only local scrap.
1t will be pretty much the old story
of the boxer versus the puncher. with
the latter, Bernard, getting plenty OF
moral support from the local flstlc
guardians, who are doing their best to
be impartial. Boxers of Dohertys
type, though, are a dime dozen in
this bailiwick, especially in the feath-
erweight division 1t is good punch
er. a kayo artist. who is needed to
pep up the 126-pound class still ruled
by Pete Sarron.
Outclasses Doherty on Paper.
CALIFORNIA JOE RIVERS almost
filled the role of challenger to
Sarron'S supremacy to perfec-
tion Rivers was fairly stiff socker,
but he lacked the cleverness to cope
with Sarrons speed and bewildering
style. In spite of this shortcoming,
however, Rivers succeeded in staging
two great, if losing, fights and making
hunk of dough for all concerned.
If Bernard closely resembles the
ringster he was a couple of years ago
then he should step right into Rivers
shoes and do an even better job. He
is no newcomer to boxing, this French
American who was christened Orazio
Bernardo % years ago in Chicago, Ill.
He has been boxing professionally
since 1879 anu lew are tIlc Soou
fighters he has not encountered. On
paper he seems to outclass any of the
current local favorites in his division
except Sarron.
Early in his career Bernard gave
promise of great accomplishments as
he whipped Barney Ross, Tony Her
rera, Steve Smith, Harry Dublinsky,
Bat Battalino. Eddie Shea and flock
of others. But Roger also proved
something of an in-and-outer. If he
could tag his opponent with his right
hand with any consistency, he would
look the part of the next feather
champ, but against the boys who
knew a defense for Bernard's wallop
-scrappers like Freddie Miller, ct al.
Roger took a beating.

Football Season
Opens Tomorrow
MelrOse and Sank Centre VIII
Stage Grid Battle At Fair
Grounds Field

Sauld Centres football market
will open actively tomorrow, Fri
day, when Melrose, always tough
customers, will meet the locals on
Sank Centres grid at the Fair
Grounds, at 400 o'clock. The game
will be played on the Fair Grounds
field.
Little advance dope has come to
us from Melrose, but we can al
ways bank on a scrappy aggrega-
ton from the Southerners. The To-
Gals have been working steadily
for two weeks, and Coach Harvey
has been placing his material in
their most effective positions. The
line Is expected to be able to hold
its own, while the backfield, small
and fast, lacks the power needed
in tight pinches. The Melrose game
will tell better just what the
strength and weaknesses are Of
the local high school outfit.
Two games have been arranged
with Melrose this year. The first
one here Friday and the second
later in the season at Melrose. One
never has been enough to please
both sides; the losing team always
wants just one more crack at their
conquerors- Be on hand Friday and
give the boys a good send-off on q
tough schedule. According to pre-
school accounts Alex and Glenwood
both will have crack squads, and
q good brand Of ball Is expected
throughout the season.
