BRAVES CANCEL
PARK LEASE

BOSTON, Jan. 14.-Boston ma
jor league baseball in both
American and National leagues
was in a turmoil today over the
question of dog-racing.
Judge Emil Fuchs, president
of the Braves, who several
weeks ago petitioned for a fran
chise to conduct dog-racing at
Braves Field, and later withdrew
it, had announced he had re-
linquished his lease on Braves
Field, to pave the way for an
application of the Boston Ken.
mel Club to operate at the field.
Fuchs aides declared he had no
interest in the kennel club.
This move, however, routs the
Braves from their home field,
and necessitates their finding an.
other field.
President Tom Yawkey, of the
American League Red Sox, how.
ever, in a telegram from Flor.
ence, S. c., reiterating his stand
against dog-racing, declared that
no arrangements had been made
for the Braves to play their
home games at Fenway Park,

VETO VIRGINIA
SPORT PLAN

University of Virginia, home of
the Cavaliers and the abode of
tradition, stands firm against the
rising tide of professionalism col
lege athletics. At a special meet
ing held in Charlottesville yester-
day, the alumni advisory council
voted solidly against awarding
athletic scholarships.
Virginia would rather pay the
price of amateurism in defeats
than bask in the false sunlight
of success by usuing subsidized
athletes. Virginia will not deny
scholarships solely upon athletic
grounds, but it will not clear the
way for a boy simply because he
can hit a line harder than some
boy less generously endowed by
nature.
"The University of Virginia
will not pay players to play, di-
rectly or indirectly, no matter
how much it may need them.
1t feels that professionalism in
college athletics is deadening
to the fine spirit and high char
acter of young men.
"It is required of boys that
they sign a statement pledging
that they have not been paid di-
rectIy or indirectly for athletic
skill in any form. This is a
requisite for membership in the
Southern Conference.
For these reasons, there can
be no compromise with prOfes-
SiOnaliSm."

can't yank 1t away from me-"
He did, too, and used his old
trick of winding up in his cor
ner at the end of each round.
The first time l saw this done
was when Loughran fought
Vittorio Campolo, the Leaning
Tower of BuenoS Aires. Wit
torio lowered over Tom like a
policeman over a small boy
stealing peanuts. He had a
punch that would knock the
brains out of steer. But the
former Hght-heavyweight cham
pion made him look like a
clumsy fool.
Ten seconds before the bell
ended the round Loughran
would work into his own cor
ner and be standing there
laughing at his enemy when
the brazen note sounded. After
about five rounds of that Cam
polo put more thought to keep
ing out of that corner than he
did toward winning the fight.
Try as he would, he was al
ways foiled. The look of BATTLE.
ment on his dark and sensitive
features should have made the
spectators weep. 1t didn't.
They howled with laughter.
Baer Falls For Maneuver
Tommy pulled that gag with
Max Baer, too, and apparently
brought it out of the bag to
amuse the spectators in this last
match with Godoy. His legs may
be worn down like an old pencil
and his timing not as good as
it used to be, but he can still
make monkeys out of slow-witted
and slow-footed heavyweights.
The only point to his South
American matches, Of course, is
the money they bring in. He
can whip a million guys down
there and it won't convince the
folks back here he is still in the
running.
Loughran hasn't been the
luckiest fellow in the world. He
fought three fellows who became
heavyweight champions Of the
world, yet was always the brides
maid but never the bride. Gene
Tunney was the first. They
boxed an eight-round no decision
contest in Philadelphia when
Tom was 10 years old. Tunney
scored a knockdown in the first
round, but thereafter Loughran
at least held his own with the
marine.
His Only Reward
He fought Jack Sharkey twice.
The first time he trained badly
and came into the ring fatter
and slower than usual. Then he
ran into a sucker punch that
finished him. The next time he
evened the count by winning all
the way and sending Jack down
for a short count. The trouble
was that Sharkey had already
lost the championship, and the
only reward was personal salts
faction.
Max Baer, the current holder
of what is laughingly called the
crown, was thoroughly out
classed and couldn't hit Tom
with a handful of sand. The
bad luck here, though, was that
he hadn't won the title as yet
when he fought Tommy.

Fought Three FeLLOus

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Tommy
Ioughran outpointed a fellow
named Godoy the other day in
Buenos Aires. He had beaten
this chap once before, but the
judges seemed to have New
York training and couldn't tell
the winner from the loser with
q pair of binoculars.
They called the thing draw,
and thereby stirred up the great
est argument below the Panama
Canal since nine sailors cleaned
out a saloon in Santos.
Bad decisions are nothing
new to Loughran. They have
been cropping up in his life for
o good many seasons. and when
the last bell sounds Tommy
wears the puzzled look of an
expectant father. He doesn't
know what to expect.

must be six or seven miles as

because he was the better swim.
mer, because the water was up
to their ankles, but anyway,
Tom did win. The officials
made two or three different de-
cisions and finally a commits
sioner stepped in with one of
his own. Nobody ever was quite
sure what the result really was.
Picked Wrong Winner
There was his fuss with Wal
ter Neusel. his last, I think
before he sailed for South
America. Neusel is big and
very uncouth and starts his
punches from some where
around his knees. Loughran
outbo led him quite cody and
stabbed him to pieces with
that SwisS-watch left hand of
his. but who do you think
won the decision? The blond
Mr.. Neusel.
One Of his fights with
Johnny Risko ended that way.
Previous to this fuss the two
had met four times, and if Tom
lost a round I'll kiss your Uncle
Hezekiah. There isn't any
doubt that Loughran'S calm
confidence often causes him to
coast a bit too much. He
Coasted with Risko, but when
he found John was throwing
'em just as viciously as though
he had never heard of Lough-
ran. TTom went to work. The
witnesses agreed he had won
again, but the referee said
"Risko" when the ballots we're
counted.
Tom didn't know what to ex-
pect when he went to South
America, but he figured on the
worst and hoped for the best.
He had three fights before this
Godoy matinee on Saturday.
The newspaper reports indi-
Gated that the Philadelphian
won all of them in convincing
style. The verdicts were a win,
q loss, and a draw.
