An APPEAL for reversal Of a recent
split decision awarded to Jorge
Brescia, South American heavyweight,

round bout at Grif11th Stadium has
been denied by the District Boxing
Commission, as was expected gen.
orally.
In sustaining the Brescia decision
the boxing body pointed out in let

instigator of the request for reversal,
that the commission held very high
regard for Tow as a boxer and as a
man. but also holds Brescia in the

Yesterdays was only Heinie's' fourth
home run, yet, with SO runs batted in,

He is tied at 1885 in the batting aver
ages with Joe Moore, the Giants thin
man who, after his fve-for-six yester-
day against the Phillies. is top slugger
among the second-place Terrymen.
Moore, climbing up to join Manush

in a 20-hit Giant attack that required
10 innings to nose out. the Phils, lilo.

home the winning run and sent the
Giants back to long home stand

His teams hitting, especially in the
ninth. when seven safeties, six in

But only Cliff Melton's one-hit re-

the afternoon from being a total loss

May BE Pawn for Dickson,

THE boxing director Of Madison
Square Garden has gone out of
his way to guarantee Thil more money
than Dickson could pay him. Moth
ing doing! Then why at this late
date, has the Dickson controlled,
bald-headed Frenchman capitulated
to the offer Of Mike Jacobs? Is it be-
cause Dickson has more than q root
Ing interest in Pedro Montanez?
Such would seem to be the case, since
Thil. practically discredited by his
own fans because Of repeated foul
claims, now is willing to risk a fight
against capable foeman and agrees
to be the sacriicial goat for Dickson's
ambitions.
Should Montanez capture the well
terweight title he will take it to France
and go through the same process Of
retaining it as Marcel Thil did with
the middleweight crown!
Those who have an idea Montanez
would be at a disadvantage against
Barney Ross because of a difference
In weight are mistaken. The Chi
cagoan was little more than a light
weight when he won the decision and
title from Jimmy McLarnin. In Bar
neys last fight. that against Jackie
Burke. two weeks ago, Ross weighed
l42 pounds. Montanez showed no
signs OF lowness in scaling 1873 pounds
for a majority Of his fights in this
country. -Four pounds would be none
to severe handicap for the Puerto
Rican again Ross.

time Garcia failed to prove he was Z
good attraction
Ross justly is a high-priced per-
former, not only because he is the
ruler Of the l47-pound division, but
because of the fact that in every fight
for the title he has turned in a salts
factory performance. If his demands
are to be met, it must be against
MontaneZ
Jimmy Johnston was always averse
to giving Montanez chance against
the lightweight title. In statement
before the commission. Johnston stated
that the Dickson-controlled Montanez
would take the title out of the coun-
try and lessen interest in that division.
He showed number Of cables to JEFF
Dickson which went unanswered and
proved the latter's disregard Of boxing
interest in this country and unwilling
ness to cooperate in clearing up the
middleweight muddle.
With Mike Jacobs in the field and
making it harder for him to secure q
worthy attraction, Johnston is willing
to forget these scruples and match
Montanez against Lou Ambers, but not
against Ross. because the latter re-
fuses to appear under the Johnston
banner.

n YEw YORK. July 14.-"Long
M Shot" Mike Jacobs insists on
a welterweight championship
4 fight between Barney Ross
and Pedro Montanez. There Is much
more behind this fight than shrewd
Mike Jacobs figures at the moment.
Montanez Is legitimate light
weight. He holds an over weight de-
cision over Lou Ambers and figures to
dethrone the Herkimer buzzsaw
should the pair meet at the class
weight. Ambers is out with an in
jured hand. From the looks of
things, neither Lou nor his manager,
al WE'LL, want any part OF the
Puerto Rican for the present Hence
the e1ort to line up Montanez with
Ross.
The report that Marcel Thil has
signified his willingness to meet Fred
Apostoli for the middleweight title
brings home the fact that the French
man has done all his fighting under
the benevolent protection Of jeff
Dickson. Thil has rejected all offers
to appear in this country for the last

~ OBERT (MUGGSY) NORRIS
- who owns the unenviable dis
tinction Of being the only box
L \ ing referee ever to be kayoed
in action here, will be asked to ten
der his resignation as an arbiter to
the District Boxing Commission, it
was learned today from an authorita-
tive source
Although commission officials re-
fused to affirm or deny any such ac-
ton is contemplated, Morris is known
to have been under severe scrutiny by
the local boxing board for the last
several months, and recent events are
believed to have led to his requested
resignation.
Eight minutes late for his assign
ment on the police benefit card last
month, when fighters stood idly in
the ring and fans beloved for &C.
ton, Morris is reported to have ter
minated his career as a referee on
the last card at Griffith Stadium
when he ignored the bell and count
ed out Larry Shuck of New York.
Muggsy Ignores Bell.
SHUCK, fighting in a preliminary
against Buddy Scott, local light
heavyweight, was floored in the third
round The bell ended the round at
the count Of eight, but Morris con-
tinued the count to 10 and waved
Shuck out" Finally he was per-
suaded the bell is official in such mat
ters.
Not calculating to enhance his
possibility OF remaining in good stand
ing with the commission was the
fact that Morris spent several mo-
ments before the main event in the
dressing room Of Bob Tow, Alexandria
heavyweight. Although Muggsy's hon.
esty never has been questioned. this
strictly is contrary to the ethics of
the game and is reported to have
proved irksome to members of the
commission
Muggsy's most serious trouble with
the commission, which makes a prac-
tice of backing up its officials. oc-
Cured last March in the District A.
A. U. tourney, when the commission
reversed verdict for the only time
since the legalization of boxing here.
Muggsy All Mixed Up.
ON THAT occasion Morris stopped
the bout in the third round when
Jim Koustenas was dropped for no
count, awarding the scrap to Eddie
by a technical knockout
Doubtlessly swayed by the protest Of
Koustenas and the crowd, Morris then
ordered the bout to continue.
Matt Twomey, Saugstad's coach,
hoped into the ring and
refused to allow his charge to con-
tinue. feeling the bout officially had
been terminated. Morris then award
ed the bout to Koustenas, due to
Twomey's interference, despite the
fact the referee himself and Judge
jim Sullivan already had written
"Saugstad T. K. o. 3" on their
score sheets. Twomey was upheld by
the commission.
With the expected resignation of
Morris, the commission now is left
with only two referees for a short
period. Eddie La Fond is touring
South America but will return in two
or three weeks, thus leaving Charley
Reynolds and Denny Hughes to carry

Stantial refreshments, would $3.50
to 5 p. m. be a proper time? And
what and when shall / serve, as
guests will be coming and going

AS there are always people who
do not see things in the papers
or miss the particular item they're
expected to see, don't you think
it would be better if, in addition
to putting the notice in the paper,
you phoned as we'll? You might
ask your sister for a list of the
friends she would like to see, and
write notes or phone them.
Two-thirty to five p. m. strikes
me as rather an !nconvenient hour
for a party, as it would be neither
a luncheon nor tea, but fall be-
tween these two. If you said from
5 to 7 you could have substantial
buffet tea, which is very popular
in some sections of the country.
Salads, sandwiches, cake, ice
cream, fruit punch, tea and coffee
are always good.
If you will send me a stamped
and Self-addressed envelope, I will
send you delicious recipe for tuna
fish salad, in aspic jelly. It has
lots of other things in it, and is
good and not expensive. Veal may
also be substituted, or vegetables
1t is decorative, substantial and
economical. I'll be glad to send it
to anyone else who sends the re-
quired stamped, self-addressed en-.

Yes. you should receive with
your sister, as hostess. The guest
book is a very nice idea.
