have meant too much. but the
manner and method did.
And what about Mr.. S1mms,
whose real name is Simoncie in
his native Slovenian.
Previously he had been stopped
once-in his first professional
fight, and subsequently had belted
out more than half of his 81 op-
ponents. But last night he never
knew what hit him and expressed
his condition perfectly when ref
cree Arthur Donovan, imported
from New York, saved his life.
He had managed to pull him
self upright at a count of eight,
and was standing with his back
to and with one hand on the ropes,
his eyes covered by a thick veneer
of glaze and his knees chattering
weakly.
Louis was moving in for the kill,
when Donovan grabbed Louis and
showed him away, and then took
Simms by the jaw to shake his
head briskly while peering at him
intently.

Donovan quoted SimmS as say.

Scott ConviinCes
Williams lab
Beats Hook

Buddy Scott, a student of sociol-
ogy at George Washington Uni
vesrity, pursued his studies further
in the ring at Joe Turner's ear
bending emporium last night. He
pounded out a thesis with his
gloves-he nearly always wears
gloves in his excursions into the
lower strata of life, and at the end,
the faculty gave him an GA"
Hobo Williams was the subject
studied by Scott in his quest for
mental and physical broadening
The Hobo was a most interesting
subject. Hobo advanced the theory
that a good left hook was worth
a lot of "book larnin,," but Scott
was able to show him that a
straight left could beat hook.
You see, Scott knew the theory
of mathematics far better than
the unlettered tent dweller.
Looks Bad For While
For a while it seemed that the
excursion of Scott would lead him
into a dead end, or something of
the sort; maybe a bog, or even a
clout on the chin that would end
his research for the time being.
But always he was able to find
the solution to every problem that
presented itself, and in the end
the judges gave him the award
cum laude.
Father Odin gave his right eye
for wisdom in the days of long
ago, and Scott suffered a closed
left eye in his journey round the
ring. But he saw enough with his
undamaged right eye to make it
worth while for the 1900 cash
customers.

The brown-bomber made his
greatest stride to date toward a
fight for the world heavyweight
title since the debacle of his knock
out by Max Schmeling last June,
in stopping Simms in exactly 26
seconds, which included eight Sec
onds during which the Cleveland
Slovenian was on the floor.
You dig deep into the seer
chronicles of boxings past to find
anything to match it.
Fitzsimmons belted out Peter
Maher in II seconds back in 1901;
Dempsey earned his chance at the
title against Willard by telling
Fred Fulton in 18 seconds in 1918,
and those two just about complete

that, except that this was sup
posed to be some kind of a test
for Louis jaw which crumbled
against Schmeling, but, still, it
drew important money. The gross
receipts totaled $49,827, and no
heavyweight - and perhaps no
fighter-ever received as much for
a one-punch victory as Louis did
last night. His end was approx
mately $4,000.
Donovan i'm m ediately lifted
Louis hand in victory and SimmS
was still mumbling ten minutes
later when he arrived in his dress
ing room.
He showed no lack of temerity
in starting the fight by walking
into Louis with long left jab and
a right cross that made the
bomber blink, but the blink was
followed by doom for SimmS in
the form of a short left hook to
the head.
The first thing to hit the floor
was his shoulder blades and, if the
ring chandelier had not been
strung as high as it was his feet
would have become entangled in
it.

executioner. The victory might not

Stuhldreher resigned from his
post as head football coach at Vii
lanova and went West to reor-
ganize the football department
at Wisconsin.
Stuhldreher gave up a post
where he definitely had achieved
success. His teams were well
coached and won football games
as well coached teams should
win. But Stuhldreher put all of
this behind him and followed the
call of opportunity into the Big
Ten Conference.
That took a spot Of courage,
for in 1885, Wisconsin won only
one game all year, defeating Pur-
due in the final game Of the sea-
son.
Many Reforms
When Stuhldreher assumed
command at Wisconsin he insti-
tuted many reforms. One of his
first moves was to establish
friendly relations with tn e
alumni. He wrote letters to the
old grads, telling them the true
status of the team. He invited
old football players to come
around and watch the teams
work. He did everything to bring
the alumni of the university
closer to the athletic depart
ments, and promoted harmony
on all fronts.
Stuhldreher sold Wisconsin to
Wisconsin men on a basis of 10y
atty over victory. He set forth that
the team had to be reconstructed.
He did just that in painstaking

manner, and explained every move
to a critical audience. The alumni
and student body forgot victory or
defeat and watched the work of re-
building a structure.

International News Service

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Tha
American love of sport as re-
Elected by attendance figures and
gate receipts-reached a new all.
time high this year, a survey by
International News Service dis
closed today.
From Coast to Coast and from
Canada to the Gulf Of Mexico
more athletes competed and more
spectators paid more than ever
before to see them in action.
It is no exaggeration to say that
Uncle Sans sports bill will run
into hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars before the year is out.
Every sport on the calendar
with two exceptions-boxing and
wrestling will show a neat gain
for the year.
The amateur boxing and wres-
ting shows surpassed previous
figures but their professional
brethren in most sectors showed
a decline, to say nothing OF q
deficit.
Lack Of Good Cards
Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick, presi-
dent of Madison Square Garden,
and one Of the greatest ends Yale
ever had, lays the decline Of
wrestling to lack of interest on
the part of the public and the drop
in boxing to lack of good cards.
"The public seems to be fed
up with the antics of the
wrestlerS," said Fitzpatrick to-
day, "but the fans will still lay
it on the line for a good fight
any time one is offered. The
trouble is there are too few good
fights to offer them"
The Gardens figures which are
generally emulated everywhere
around the country-show ire
mendous increases or track meets,
hockey, both professional and
amateur-tennis, basketball and
Six-day bike races.
Part of this increase is due to
the fact that this was an Olympic
year. Fitzpatrick and other lead.
ing sports promoters are of the
opinion that all sports gain i'm.
petuS from the Olympics, which
make the whole world more sports
conscious.
Dog and Horse Shows Set Records
Even the dog and horse shows
broke all attendance records this
year, the public seeming to be in
mood take in anything that
even savored of competition. And
the 19-day rodeo in the Garden
broke all records for such com.
petition-indoor or outdoor-ever
held anywhere. The rodeo this
year played to approximately
100000.
Hockey tapped new figures for
the 1935-1936 season and already
this year are running well ahead
OF last year. Even the six-day
grind ran about Is per cent ahead
OF the last one.
BaSketball-both pro and simon.
pure-is a Sure-fire sellout at all
times, and the track meets with
Glenn Cunningham, Sam Romani
and other stars competing packed
the arenas to the rafters.
The promoters already are plan
ming an even greater year in 1887.
One straw will show which way
the wind is blowing. The Garden
is already assured a sellout for the
Fred Perry-EllSworth Vines tennis
match, January 6, and, believe it
or not, the Garden is asking-and
getting-a $3.50 top which will
mean gate of $4,000.
When one indoor tennis match
in the middle of winter can COM
mand $3.50 a seat, sport in general
must be on the way up.

The vagaries of base
ball are no better dem
onstrated than by the
close scores and by the
games won in the ninth
inning.
Today the lesson is going to
have to do with the one-run
victories and a little later In
the week the class will con-
vene for the purpose of hold
ing an autopsy over the last
inning rallies which produced
eleventh hour victories.
AS a league, the American loop
was the victim Of the ancient law
of averages which baseball stu
dents will tell you operates In
every phase Of the sport over a
stretch Of games.
Consistent Stride
This great leveling influence was
no exception in the matter OF one
run margins when the checks were
all in. No club won more than ~
games by a single tally and none
lost more than "a by the same
margin. So, as league, the clubs
struck a rather consistent Strloe
in close games.
What differences are discernible
can be found mostly in the records
of Detroit and New York, which
made the highest averages for close
wins and losses and the contrast
ing records of Boston and Wash
ington which hold the lowest aver
ages, all of which are revealed IN
the table appended herewith.
Specifically, Detroit thrived on
90 one-run decisions over New
York (4); Philadelphia go, Boston
"a. Chicago 90, Washington ~
and Cleveland Cd, while the yam
KEGS trailed the Tigers slightly
with two more one-run victories
and two more one-run losses. The
New York one-run victims were
Cleveland "a, Boston (5), Phlla-
delphia "a, washington ~, Chi
cago 90 and Detroit CD.
Griffs Victinized
WASHINGTON was victimized in
this department of play principally
by Chicago which turned back the
Griffmen on six occasions by
single tally. Both Philadelphia
and New York were similar victors
over the Griffs in four games,
while Cleveland had three, Detroit
two. Boston three and st. Louis
one lone-run triumphs over the
Griffmen.
Washington's principal prey in
the matter of one-run victories, on
the other hand, were their cousins
from Boston who bit the dust on
five such occasions. Philadelphia
was a run behind on three meet
ings with the GriffS, st. Louis IN
one meeting and Detroit, New
York, Cleveland and Chicago twice
each.
But here is the complete table
of this seasons one-run triumphs
and defeats, and you may read 1t
and weep-that is if you have
tears to shed:
