at Turner's Arena, Thursday night.
Mcmillan, who has not performed
here since 1882, is remembered for his
flying tackle, numerous losses to Jim
Londos and his bar room brawls with
Rudy Dusek and Gina Garibaldi. Jim
has just returned from the Pacific
Coast, where he has been pinning the
shoulders of some of matdom's elite.
Hall, who hopes some day TO re-
place Ernie Dusek as the No. l villain

nursed along locally in semi-final roles
for several months and is a popular
pachyderm despite his unorthodox
tactics.

Strack has competed in more than
1000 tussling tests, while Robert, al
though he has met the most formidable
grapplers in the game, is compare
tive newcomer to the mat world.
Although Robert has tossed such
outstanding twisters as Ed Don

accomplished when he threw O'Ma-

Lightweight Titles.

r AUNCHING the final punches
OF highly successful indoor
ring season, Cowboy Howard
- Scott will mix mittens with
Davey Fine, British lightweight cham
pion, in scheduled 10-round bout
tonight at Turner's Arena.
One Of the country's most pleasing
club fighters, Fine faces in Scott q
lad who has risen rapidly in the esti-
nation of local ringworms since he
invaded the District several months
ago.
Transplanted from Texas, where he
held the State lightweight crown,
Scott trimmed Lew Massey, ranking
Philadelphia puncher, and recently
was named local 135-pound cham
pion. The events leading up to that
dubious honor are rather interesting.
Beats Rivers, Quarles.
IN HIS first fight here, Scott ap-
peared to be running neck and
neck with fans cigar in race to
determine which would burn out in
the faster time. That was a four
round preliminary scrap with the
veteran Eddie Burl. and Eddie gave
Howard plenty of trouble before
dropping a close decision.
Following his next fight, when he
performed before less than 500 spec
tators in losing to Johnny DeFoe on
second-round technical knockout,
Scott transferred his f1stic wares to
Baltimore, and it was there that he
finally hit his stride.
With prohibitive odds against him
in both bouts, Scott tossed some of the
most torrid leather of his clouting
career to trim California Joe Rivers
and Norment Quarles, the only fighter
to trounce Freddy Miller since that
little larruper won the world feather
weight title. Quarles defeated Miller
in non-title encounter at Pittsburgh
last November.

Manager Pete Reilly'5 demand of a
$4,000 guarantee for the champions
services. Sarron will be paid $1,500.
Although Miller received about half
that amount for successfully defending
his title against Sarron in Miami in
a hotly disputed decision contest, the
Florida scrap probably was worth the
difference locally for build-up to the
bout here.
Maj. Miller's estimate of $50 900
gate for the fight does not seem to be
overly optimistic. Marty Gallagher
and Tony Galento drew 100000
through the turnstiles at 81 and 81
prices. Certainly championship
battle should outdraw that.

there is little reason to believe they
will not rally to the bout, local boxing

.F|ST|C NATURAL"
TO PACK GARDEN
Canzoneri Slight Choice
Over Mel arnin for Bout
Friday Night.
ths sSSociated prass


n YEW YORK, May A fistic
M natural bringing together a
" pair of great little fighters
Tony Canzoneri and Jimmy
McLarnin, is expected to pack Madi-
son Square Garden to the doors Fri
day and inject a bit Of Springtime
vigor into the boxing season in prepa =
ration for the big outdoor battles of
Summer.
Rated as a pair of the greatest bat
tiers on record for their size, either
the lightweight champion or McLar-
min, former holder of the welterweight
crown, usually brings sellout with
him when he steps into the ring. So
it's no trick at all to predict a capacity
crowd when they come together for 10
rounds. The fans have been discuss
ing such meeting as remote possi-
bility for years, hardly expecting it
would take place.
McIarnin Keeps in Trim.
WHEN it comes to picking the win
ner the various angles of this
bout seem to produce more butts"
than goat ranch. McLarnin will
have a considerable advantage in
weight, about lat pounds to Tony's
125 or more, but Canzoneri never
yet has left a few pound trouble
him. Tony can hit and box
with the best, but so can the baby
faced Vancouver Irishman. In fact
he's been called the hardest hitter of
his size ever to enter ring.
McLarnin hasn't had a fight since
he lost his title to Barney Ross, the
same man who took the lightweight
crown from Canzoneri only to see him
win it back again after his conqueror
moved into a heavier division, but he
hasn't let himself get soft. Jimmy
has been working out regularly and
keeping in condition during his ab-
sence from the ring.
Can1oneri Always on Edge
MEANWHILE Canzoneri. who has
kept working steadily at his
trade ever since he took up the boxing
business dozen years ago, hasn't al
lowed himself to become ring rusty.
He's had a fight every month or two
to keep his eye sharp and his timing
accurate.
It's on that basis that many of the
flstic faithful have chosen to make
Canzoneri slight favorite. Admit
ting both are capable fighters, they
figure McLarnin must have lost some
of the keen edge from his form or per-
haps some of the urge to win. Others
contend that McLarnin's superior size
and weight will make it just too bad
for the gentleman farmer from Marl-
boro, N. Y, and indications are It
will be pay-your- r-money-and-tak
your-cholce affair when they step
through the ropes.

fundamental difference between a
hobo and a bum Briefly, his difini-

A bum is all that the name i'm

Branches Out in Poetry
Added to his other talents, jeff
is quite a poet. His pieces, which
are printed in the Hobo News, Off
cial publication of the organization,
mostly are sad. One is about a
dying hobo. who, in box car lay,
one cold December day." and an
other advises girls not to use rouge
or powder.
In fact, as jeff gets older he
spends more time giving advice. At
a meeting in the SEVERN yesterday,
he asked representatives of the
Indiana Congress of Parents and
Teachers to use their influence to
keep boys at home.
Boys shouldn't even be allowed
to ride on ice wagons" he said.
That is where they first get the
wanderlust idea. Hoboing is get
ting harder all the time. A few
years ago one motorist out of every
10 would pick you up, and now only
about one in 200 stops.

said. I'VE would like to get uniform
laws passed on hoboing instead of
having to run up against different
conditions in every state. Take di-
vorces now. Some places you car
get them quickly, and other places
you can't get them at all. That's
not right.
'Hoboes do a lot of good. Last
year we sent 5000 runaway kids
back home, and told 1000 men to re-
turn to their wives. Also our boys
talked 1000 men into going back to
their old jobs"
JEFF says he likes to pose for pho
tcgrapherS now. A tobacco COM
pany bought him false teeth, with
the understanding that he would
promote their brand of eating to-
bacco" among his friends.
