RING PICKS UPSET
BY R|SK0 AND COOL
Decisions Over Balsamo and
Ambers, Respectively,
Embarrass Experts.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated FresS,
n YEw YORK. october 29.-From
M the way things have been go
ing since Max Schmeling did 1t
4 to Joe Louis, this seems to be
the year for experience to spring the
fight games surprise packages by
showing up younger favorites.
Nearly as startling as the Germans
knockout Of Louis last Summer were
a pair of triumphs by Eddie CBabe)
Risko, the former middleweight cham
pion, and Eddie Cool, veteran Philadel-
phia lightweight, last night.
Both of them left the experts with
very red faces again.
Cool outpointed the new lightweight
king, Lou Ambers. in Philadelphia. in
10-round nop-title affair-Ambers'
first start since winning the title from
Tony Canzoneri.
Risko, on the short end of 2-to-1
odds before the fight, punched out a
clean-cut 10-round win over Harry
Balsamo, the middleweight knockout
sensation, in New York, chalking up
the first loss for Balsamo since he
brought his kayo punch out of the
subway and turned to pro fighting
more than year ago.
Changes 150-pOund Picture.
p ISKO'S victory changed the 150-
pound picture completely. AS a
result the former champion from Syra-
cuse advanced to the No. position on
the list of contenders for the title he
lost to Steele several months ago. Bal
samo, on the other hand. fell some dis
lance from the high place to which
his recent string Of knockout triumphS
had boosted him.
Cool's last-round aggressiveness
proved his margin over Ambers. Fore
ing the fighting for the first time, in
the closing frame, he earned the nod
of both judges, while Referee Matt
Adgie voted for Ambers. The light
weight champion had difficulty keep
ing away from Cool's left jab and
counter punching
Risko beat Balsamo at his own game,
scoring the only knockdown of their
fight with a right-hand smash under
the heart in the fourth frame that
fioored his Italian rival.

ACE RIDERS MADE
BY SWIFT HORSES
Put Speed Under Him, Says
1885 Leader, and He'll
Regain Top Flight.

n YEW YORK, October 29-They
M say good foot ball players
" make the good coaches, and
Silvio Coucci, who ought to
know, adds that it takes good horses
to make a top-fight jockey.
A year ago the name Of Coucci
opposite a horse on an American turf
program was enough to send the odds
tumbling. Today the 22-year old
Bronx Italian, his eyes a little sad,
is just another jockey trying to re-
gain the form that once sent cheers
ringing in his ears and money in his
pocket.
Despite the fact the record books
say he has ridden only 40 winners o1t
of $50 mounts this year. as compared
with 141 last year and over 200 in
1884, Coucci believes he's as good
as ever and needs only good horses
to regain his lost popularity.
Doesn't Feel It's Comeback.
I'm NOT planning a comeback"
declared the little Italian en-
phatically today. There's no need
for it. All I need is some horses
that can run"
He left Mrs. Payne Whitney's
Greentree Stable, the outfit with
which he made his debut in 1881,
because he believed the stables horses,
none too prominent this year, MADE
him look bad.
Il had no trouble with Greentree,"
Coucci said. They're good people 10
work for, but the horses we're not up
to standard this year. Give me the
right horses and III start winning
regularly again"
He hopes that will be next yea,
when he is due to appear in E. T.
Bradley's green and white silks. l.
has been working the Bradley hori
in Maryland and probably will sign :.
contract.
Led 'em All Last Year.
MRS. EMIL DENMARK of C
cago, owner Of a powerful St.
BILE. made him an offer. but Coucc.
chose to string along with the Ken
lucky sportsman.
AS strong as ever, Coucci still can
ride at 109 pounds. although he re-
quires plenty of exercise to keep his
weight down. He's not even thinking
of retiring. although he has made
and saved a comfortable fortune in his
few years in the saddle.
I'll ride as long as people want
me-" he said. Il like the game"
This year has been his poorest, with
the exception of the first, since he
broke into the saddle boy from
the Bronx. He rode only eight win
ners the first year. but scored with
1872 horses in 1882, accounted for 1873
in 1888 and reached his peak in 1884.
Last year he was the leading money
winning jockey. his mounts earning
a total of S319,76O.
