Opponent Outcfassed.

MAYBE it was because she wanted
Ava to get of her feet as soon as
possible that she wasted neither time
nor motion in disposing of her foe.
She overshadowed the capable Miss
Ryan like the Normandie towers over
a canoe and that's no reflection on
the other f1nalist.
Sara was Just too good. Her fast
service made Miss Ryan'S resemble
lobs; her strong, sure placements left
her opponent constantly bewildered
as to where the next shot of the
brunette bombshell's racket was going
to fall and her back hand was flaw
less.
Miss Ryan took the third and
seventh games of the first set and
the seventh game of the second set
on her own service and crashed
through the new champions serve to
win the second game of the last set.
Sara outpointed her, 1920, in the
initial set and increased her point
margin to 29-15 in the second.
How strongly she was playing
toward the end is shown by the sta
tistics that reveal that two Of the last
five games she won were by love
scores and that Miss Ryan scored
only eight points in the last six games.
Miss Moore's capture of the cup
preserved the precedent that has been
set in the tournament of having seven
different champions in as many diff
ferent years of its existence.

Goal Seems Far Away.

I OUIS is cunning for the heavy
weight championship, ambitious
to be the first of his race to scale the
top since Jack johnson ruled fistiana,
but the goal looks long way of. The
plans for Champion James j. Brad
dock do not call for any taste of the
dynamite in the young Negroes fists.
If the predictions of Promoter Mike
Jacobs are fulfilled the fight will draw
more than $4,000 cash customers and
a gate" approximating 100000.
These figures are sensational, meas
ured by current box Office standards.
They would mean the second largest
''house" in fight history for heavy
weight mixed match. Harry Wills and
Luis Angel Firpo, the wild Bull of the
Pampas," drew slightly more than
$500,oO0 at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jer-
sey City, in 1924.
Preliminary bouts, starting at 7:15
pm. eastern standard time) will in
clude a six-rounder between Buddy
Baer, younger but bigger brother of
Max, and big Boy Rawson. The
main bout is slated for 9 pm. There
will be no broadcast. If the weather

SARA MOORE COPS

7-Year Record of No

G6TM THRILLED to DEATH" were
Sara Moore's excited words as

the women's championship Of the

It took the new champion just a

eliminate the one obstacle between her
and the attainment OF her. fondest
hopes. So decisive was the rout that
only three games were carried as far
as deuce and two Of these happened
to be half of the total number of
games Miss Ryan won.
Sara made only one error Of omis-

before the match started. She for

~ ARNEY WELSH showed him
- self to home spectators for
the first time this season
49, yesterday when he made his
debut in the District of Columbia
tournament being held this week at
the Columbia Country Club and all
that we had learned to expect of him
by our reading of his out-of-town
activities was fulfilled.
He swept through his tirst-round
match with Happy Jacobs and wasn't
in action long enough to allow half
as intimate inspection as many would
have liked, but in the 80 minutes or
so he was on the court he showed
plenty.
Six-love, six-love were the scores,
and playing like he was yesterday
we're not going to hold our breath
waiting for him to lose his first game.
He completely dominated the pro-
ceedings, and had he gotten home
before am. yesterday morning after
an all-night, all-day automobile ride
from Chicago he might have won
u love games.
Barney seems to be "there" again
this season, and local courtmen who
hope to stop him are going to have
their work cut out for them.
IT'S just possible that Barney may
face sitter opponent in the fourth
round than is first apparent from a
glance at the pairings. A little be-
low him in his bracket Is the unim-

Lyman must face Shore, seeded No.

A surprise was found in the listing
of results yesterday when it was noted
that Tony Latona, seeded No. 3 and
one of the best players Of the city,

Tony's part in entering the tourna-

He isn't the type likely to get
ratified or upset. But he may have
more trouble than he Is looking for
If the Ambling Alp uses his long left
effectively and also employs his su-
perior weight and strength in the
right way.
Camera has shown that he
can get up from the floor more
than once. Against Baer he

ankle and still was standing

Many leading experts, including
Gene Tunney, figure Camera isn't any

Camera will have his trouble keeping

useful bombardments.
The old-time fighters had this COM

Money Land Knockout Under Heart
FROM THE PRESS BOX
No Noticeable Racial Feeling aroused
as Louis Threatens to Thrash Camera.
BY JOHN LARDNER-

He Is pale beside Sikh, the thick
skulled Senegalese. You can't imagine
Louis burning up Montmartre with a
parrot on one shoulder, q monkey on
the Other and lion cub trotting be-
hind him on q leash-nor smashing
up chiropodist's Office because the
doctor drew the line at treating black
feet-nor slapping cops-nor swigging
wine from a two-gallon jug-nor
wearing an opera cape, tall hat and
tan shoes.
These traits actually made Sikh
more attractive than Louis in some
ways, though I doubt If Joe's mother
would care to see him model his life
on the Bats. The Bat, you remember,
came to no good end and wound up
with capital amounting to 5000.
Few Good CoIored Boys Lately.
A FTER all, it's probably because
"a Louis behaves himself that there
is no very strong feeling against him.
That's one reason. Another is that we
have been short on good colored
heavyweights for long time. Harry
Wills was a menace, but menacing
doesn't take the place of fighting
George Godfrey seemed for while to
have all 1t takes, but George was SO
eccentric that the promoters became
tired of playing with him.
Louis, as a fighter, Is close to per-
feet. That, and his sober conduct, and
the recent shortage of good dark boys,
have combined to boost Joe over the
hurdle of race feeling. It's only a
guess. but believe that there will be
as many whites roofing for Louis as
for Camera at Yankee Stadium. May
be that's why they call 1t Yankee
Stadium.
In the twentieth place. Primo
Carnera is by no means perfectly
equipped for the role Of white
hope.
People have heard that Primo used
to knock fellows out without touching
them. They have heard that he
chums around a good deal with men
of low standing in the community
Also, he was bounced on the floor a
dozen times In his last fight with the
haymaking harlequin, Max Baer.
So Primo is not a white hope and
Louis is not a black menace. The
racial angle is deader than smelt in
this fight. But there are SO many
other angles to it that Promoter Mike
Jacobs expects a 100000 house and
the boxing nuts are going around
town weaving and bobbing with ex-
element And Commissioner John T.
Doyle has made Louis 3-to-5 favor
ite, which means that the whites are
putting their money on the black.

THE SPORTZIGHT
Critics Questioning Joe Louis Experience
and Primo's Ability to Utilize His Heft.
BY GRANTLAND RICE

In looking over the more important
details of the Louis -Carnera assem-
blage, which takes place tomorrow
night, there are two outstanding angles
to consider in advance.
/. Has Camera one good fight
I'm his huge system-something
to offer that at least Is partly
in keeping with his combined
bulk and agility?
2. is Joe Louis, with years
professional experience, as good
as he looks to be at this mile
post i'm his march?
Camera, with his equipment, ought
to be so much better than he has
been that one starts looking for the
answer. So far there have been two
answers-he can't punch and he
can't take much Of punch.
He Is stronger than two mules
fast for q big mana pretty rair
boxer-and game enough. You don't
bounce of the floor IL or IL times II
the moxie is missing.
But for all that, he wasn't
much of . fighter against
Leyinsky, Maloney, Pauline,
Loughran or Baer.
He has got by largely because ne
looks to be fellow who ought to XIII
any man he meets-a fellow who ought
to-but never does.
He has the looks of cyclone, but
this cyclone suddenly turns into
light soothing breeze.
His main defense has to be good
left and boxing skill-which Is de-
fense and not attack. You can't at
tack with spiked guns, no matter what
the caliber.

N YEW YORK, June 24.-The
nj search for flstic fire works
VI leads tomorrow night to the
a Yankee Stadium, where the
biggest boxing crowd of the year will
see If the youthful cannon cracker
from Detroit, Joe Louis, has enough
explosive power to blast through the
ponderous defense of Primo Carnera.
Acclaimed the most terrific puncher
in heavyweight ranks since Jack
Dempsey, Louis will attempt to cut
down his 26O-pound opponent on the
spot where the celebrated ManaSsa
Mauler f1attened Jack Sharkey eight
years ago.
The betting was even money that
the brown bomber" would do it well
inside the limit of Is rounds, but
good share of the experts at least will
be convinced only when they see it
done.
Louis will make his metropolitan
debut after a sensational "build-up."
Only q years old and barely a year
out of amateur ranks, the Detroit
Negro has compiled an amazing record
In the Middle West. He has scored
18 knockouts in % professional fights.
He is reputed to have had every
opponent he has ever met, amateur
or pro, on the floor at least once with
his short, deadly punches.
Never Under Heavy Fire.
LIE HAS yet to feel the pressure
under fire, however, so that it
remains to be seen how effective he
will be against a fighter of Cameras
size, courage and staying powers.
No one expects Camera, for all his
tremendous bulk, to bowl over the
youthful Negro. Primo's punch is
strictly of the transforming variety,
but the italian giant no longer is
regarded lightly.
Fast for his size and exceedingly
game, despite his tendency to become
flustered by a heavy attack, Camera
has developed an effective left hand
to support his bear-Ike tactics at
close range. 1t remains to be seen
whether he can forestall another such
battering as he took at Max Baer's
hands year ago.
If the fight goes the limit and he
hasn't been on the floor too often,
Camera should have an excellent
chance to win on points. The victor
will be matched in September with
Max Baer.

N YEW YORK, June 24-This
M certainly is not the day of
VI the color line nor the white
A ' hope. Twenty-Five years
ago. our Nation was so mortified by
the presence of Jack johnson on top
of the heavyweight ash-heap that his
foe, James j. Jeffries, became an idol
and the object Of teary pleas and sob
racked appeals and women's petitions
to bring the title back to the So
called white race.
Today, a buff -colored son Of sunny
Africa is storming the heights again,
but nobody seems to mind. The
words white hope" and give up this
day our daily Nordic supremacy" are
supplanted by eight to five on Looie"
and "ten'll getcha twenty he don't"
Maybe Louis opponent is re-
garded in certain of the warmer
sections of the country as a white
hope, but around here he is just
plain "Laddie" Camera, distin-
guished social light and sucker for
a right-hand swing.
It's possible that, if Joe gets past
Primo and earns shot at the title,
the public gorge will rise to 80 again,
and there will be shouts for true
blue Caucasian to stamp out the king
of the cafe-au-laits. Perhaps the
public will insist on an American
white hope. Baer and Braddock are
technically American, while Primo
and Max Schmeling have nothing
American about them except their
managers and their cash assets.
Louis Cold and Drab.
RUT doubt if there will be much
excitement, even when Joe col
lars the crown. Sammy Goldman,
manager of Canzoneri. says there will
be. So do several Southerners Of my
acquaintance. To most of the boys
in this subconscious neighborhood
however, Lynch" is the guy who runs
the bar on the corner and white
hope" is some sort of unfortunate
social weakness like athletes foot, the
brandy habit or fallen tonsilS.
I don't mean that Louis is more
attractive fellow than Peter Jackson
or Jack johnson or the other targets
of white hope" hysteria. He isn't.
From what I've seen Of him, his
only qualifications for public es-
TEEN are his thrift and his kind
ness to his mother. He is cold and
drab compared with Johnson, Lang
ford, Walcott, Cans and Sikh.
Louis has none of Walcott's good
nature, nor Langford's showmanship
nor Cans intelligence, nor the love OF
strutting which led Jack johnson to
lacquer his nails, wear a beret and
read print through a monocle.

NEW YORK, June 24.-The bet
tors, apparently not the least

the Detroit negro a strong favorite
for his fight here tomorrow night

this the liveliest betting fight of
