Former COlIegian Bashara Reveals Prize Tricks
 of Mat 'Meanie'

New Orleans, July 2l.-(UP)-To the average wrestling fan the term horse radiSh" means nothing" or 'baloney." Ellis Bashara, the heavyweight grappler, has made the term mean misery" to oppo- nents.
 Bashara, noted as a "meanie" on the mat, secretes horse radish powder in his hair. Once in the arena, he rubs his hand through his hair and into his bewildered foes eyes.
 An All-Big- guard while playing for the University of Ok lal1oma in 1884, Bashara contends, Mine out of ten wrestlers nowa- days are college men and not car- nival buns. A professional wres- tier has to put on e big front. To make good money he has to spend 1t. He has to stay at the best hotels, own a tuxedo, be a good bridge player and talk glibly."
 It's All Business to Bashara
 He also draws line between college and professional matmen. "The difference between college and professional wrestling" he philosophical, "is the money. In college, you're out to defend the honor of the alma mater, win your sweater and rate publicity. But in the pro game, you're out for the beans. It's a business proposition, pure and simple"
 His bad man" tactics, mustache, marcelled hair and cocky walk he calls it his Oklahoma strut have been the probable reasons for his widespread unpopularity.
 Once he entered the ring against Joe Cox at Des Moines, Ia. The crowd cheered until the building echoed as Bashara entered the ring. This rare reception so un- nerved Bashara that he could never get going and eventually lost the match.
 Suffered Fractured Skull
 Bashara said that he was tossed around and injured so frequently by "bad man" tactics of his op- ponents that he was forced into the villains role. He suffered a dislocated shoulder, four broken ribs, a broken shoulder, fractured skull. dislocated knee and several broken fingers in the period of two years.
 "All this got me to thinking" he said. T decided it would be easier to dish 1t than to take it.. So I originated my horse radish trick. I have many other rough tactics for use, too."
 He says the discovery of Joe Louis and the subsequent boxing boom hurt the wrestling game, but that matdom is coming back again now stronger than ever.

SHARKEY GIVEN SHOT AT LOUIS
 IN N. Y. GARDEN
$3OO,O ,OOO Gate Expected August l8-TOp on
 Tickets to Be $lO
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Stan Correspondent

NOAAASOA O0o 0UeSA OVAA VAAVSRVuAVAA1
 New York, July 21--With the score against former heavyweight titleholders still two to one to his favor, Joe Louis, Detroit's brown bomber, will launch his comeback campaign against another ex-charn- pion, 33-year-old Jack Sharkey on August 18.
 one day less than two months after his meteoric rise was halted in Yankee stadium by the crushing right-hand of former champion Max Schmeling, Louis will climb back into the same ringn to face Sharkey, the Boston tavern n-keeper who has come out of retirement seeking to regain the title he won from Schmeling in 1882 and lost to Primo Camera in 1883.
 Louis, who has belted two former championships Baer and Primo Carnera-into insensibility is anx- ious to find out whether his 12- round knockout by Schmeling af- fected his jaw. So, despite advice of boxing critics who claimed he should take a six-month vacation, Louis through his managers agreed yesterday to fight Sharkey for the 20th Century club over the ten- round route.
 It will be Sharkey's first fight in New York since he lost the title to Camera in June, 1883, by knock out.
 Ross CanzOneri Out
 The fight will replace the Barney Ross Tony Canzoneri welter weight title scrap which Mike Jacobs, 2Oth Century club promoter, was trying to negotiate for that date.
 The Louis scrap will be Sharkey's fifth since his return to the ring last winter. His initial return was the "flasco" with unknown Winston in which Jack had to register two knockout before being declared the winner. Then he lost and drew in succession to Tony Shucco of Bos- ton. Sharkey then moved into prom thence by outpointing Phil Bru- baker of California, who was the No. 4 heavyweight challenger.
 Each fighter is expected to re- ceive 25 per cent of an expected 100000 gate. Ticket will be scaled from g to $l0.
 Louis, who has been recuperating in Detroit since the Schmeling fight. was scheduled to begin light training today at the Stevensville, Mich. farm of his co-manager Ju- Han Black. He will come east later to select a training camp.
 Sharkey is expected to do most of his training in Boston; although he might go to Orangeburg, N. Y, two weeks before the fight to taper of.
 Chicago, July 2l-(UP)-Joe Louis will start light training today for his bout with Jack Sharkey, his co-manager, Julian Black, am nounced. Louis is vacationing at Stevcnsville, Mich, and will move east in two or three weeks.

Kiersted was Q little enraged over the many complaints which followed the games at Waterville and Full ton Parks Sunday and partly attri- buted the decrease in receipts lately to the attitude of several "prima donna" players.
 Another point which caused no little discussion was the presence of lighted cigaretS in the hands of players on the bench while their team is on the offensive. Hence forth, those caught smoking on the bench will be reprimanded.
 Benefit Games Thursday
 Treasurer Steve Meleski reported a collection last Sunday of little over $7, decreasing the bank bal- ance to trifle over $80, but hoped for a big increase after Thursdays benefit game with the Sacred Hearts at Hamilton Park.

 Mastrianni and Tram, opposing pilots, will be interviewed about their teams chances in the forth coming fray by the WATR Sports Reporter tonight at 6:30 o'clock. The former stayed up all last night preparing the answers and knows them perfectly. However, he'll have them written on his cuff, in case of, you know.

 Pacing the field of 222 players from 9 states, Hawaii and the Dis- trict of Columbia at the start of the second days play were Mike Do- lar, g, Philadelphia gasoline sta- tion employe, and Frank Connolly, %, Detroit city employment man. ager. Dolan and Connolly each shot a 71, one over par.
 Although one stroke of the pace, the actual leaders were Jimmy Cas- pio, 24, an Italian truck driver from Cleveland, and Johnny Racey, 28, a stock clerk from Cleveland, who had 8 pair of par 72s over the longer and boucher blue course yesterday. They were the only players to equal parNon either course the first day.
 The field today reversed yester- days procedure, with those who played the 6,46S-yard par 70 red course shifting to the 6,7l0-yard, par 72 blue course, an dvice versa. The low GA scores will qualify for match play competition, which starts Wednesday with two 18-hole rounds.
 F Year Old Excels
 One stroke behind Dolan and Con- molly on the red course, were Jack Evans, 8 IT year old New Rochelle, N. Y, student, and Jack Thurmond, a trouble-shooter for the San An- tonic, Tex, Telephone Co.,, each with 72
 In the "73" group for the red course were James Molinari, San Francisco radio policeman; Lionel Wendland, San Antonio, Tex, Gas company employe; and Frank Stra- faci, 20 year old Brooklyn defending champion who gets what work he can in the winter and plays golf in the summer. Arthur Owen, IT year old Jacksonville, Fla, high school student, and John Babis, Dearborn, Mich, automobile factory foreman, completed the "73" group, playing the blue course in that figure.
 Scattered behind these leaders were musicians, engravers, plaster CTS, jewellers, laborers, hairdressers, iron workers, railroad clerks, mill workers and plumbers.
 Negro Competes
 There even is negro among the competitors, one of the few ever to gain admittance to a national golf tournament. The U. s. G. A. &C., cepted the entrance fee of George Johnson, negro gas station attend ant from Schenectady, N. Y, and Col. Joseph Dickson, Louisville, Ky, the of1cial starter of the blue course, approved the negro's entry. John- son practically eliminated himself by shooting a 90, eighteen over par on the blue course.
 The battle for the four-man team championship promised to be ding dong affair between Brooklyn, the first day leader. with a record of 200; Seattle, Wash, second, with 300; San Antonio, Tex, defending champion, with 30l; and San Fran cisco, with 302.
