SUCCESS MARKS
GOLDEN GLOVES
BOXING MEETS
Idea Sponsored By Chi
CagO Writer, Aided and
Entertained Thousands
BY ERNEST BARCELLA
UNITED Press Stan Correspondent

UNITED Press STAN Correspondent
Boston, Jan. 21--CUP)--An idea
fathered decade ago by a Chicago
sports writer and sponsored cur
rently in this section by Boston
newspaper today had all New Eng
land In a boxing mood.
We refer, Of course, TO the golden
gloves championships.
Credit for originating the Col
den Gloves" goes to Arch Ward,
enterprising sports editor Of the
Chicago Tribune. He's the same
Mr.. Ward who's also responsible
for thinking up the annual all-Star
major league baseball game, all
Star professional football games
and similar sports attractions.
In this particular neck Of the
woods, development Of Wards idea
Is In the hands Of the Boston Globe.
Action Galore
Though this Is only the first year
that New England has had Its own
tournament, the folks round here
have caught on 80 fast that every
body and hts Uncle Bill seem to be
boxing. In fact, 1t appears TO be
the basic cause Of an almost unpre-
cedented boom In the beak- busting
business.
Since Dec. II, when the first
round elirninations got under way,
800 simon-pure battlers represent
ing Maine, New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land have entered the Globes gol-
den gloves competition. (Connecti-
cut entries are included In the New
York section)
Examinations held In Auburn and
Lewiston, Me-, Burlington, w.,
Manchester, N. H., Brockton, Fa!l
River, Holyoke, Lowell, Pittsfield,
Quincy, Worcester and Boston,
among other places, already have
attracted an estimated 10000 fans.
BY the time the finals are unveiled
at the Garden here Feb. IS, IT'S ex-
pected that some $4,000 New Eng
landers will have watched the gol-
den glovers.
Age w. Youth
Under the rules, any amateur
boxer Is eligible provided he's at
least 10 years old. The maximum
age limit Is guided by physical fit
ness. In the past month, for in
stance, John Sauter, q 43-year- old
Quincy oil salesman who'd never
fought before, entered the 147-
pound competition. He was elm
mated by 21-year-old John VOL
colt, former New Hampshire uni
versity freshman ski star.
OF the 800 entries In the globe
tourney, more than half-or $50 to
be exact--were sub-novices (aspir-
ing fighters without ring expert
encedD.
One of the most promising Of the
sub-novices uncovered In the cur
rent climinations Is O l60-pound
youth with a famous fight handle
John l.. Sullivan. Young John L..
Is O distant relative of the immor-
tai Boston Strong Boy"
Thercll be moro than medals,
charms and sectional titles for win
ners OF the New England finals
They'll be eligible for the eastern
titles and eventually, II successful,
for the national crowns. =
When Sports Editor Ward start
ed the golden gloves idea. one OF
the purposes was TO discover PROM
ising amateur boxers who had a
chance TO go far In the fight game.
The idea seems to have succeed
ed. for out Of golden gloves compe-
titions have como standouts like
Joe Louis, Barney Ross, Bob DIN
and Lou Salica--Just TO mention
few.

GOMEZ DI MAGIC
WORRY YANKEES

New York. Jan. 2l.--CUP)-Con-
tracts for 1897 were In the mail to-
day for 30 world champion New
York Yankees and three coaches.
The two whose return will be most
anxiously awaited arc those OF Joe
DiMaggio, prize major league rookie
OF 1885, and Vernon Lefty Gomez,
who had ono of his worst seasons
last year.
DiMaggIo, who drew $4,000 last
year, is not believed slated for a
raise, and Goomez may get a cut
from the $4,000 he collected last
year on a two year contract.

Turner Nominates Conqueror Of

Next Friday.

JOE COX today was named the op-
ponent to meet Bronko Nagurski in
world championship wrestling match
which will be held at Grifith Stadium
next Friday night. In signing, Nagur-
ski. current title holder and former
all-America foot ball player at Mime

Nagurski's inability to come here
before Friday caused the change from
Thursday, the night of the customary
local wrestling show.
Cox was selected by Promoter Joe
Turner after he had beaten Jack
Paterson in one of two elimination
bouts at the stadium last Thursday.
Although many patrons favored Ray
Steele for the Nagurski match. Tur-
ner's choice was predicated upon the
fact that Cox is the only man to have
beaten Nagurski in 242 matches,

The order TO replay that game with
Cleveland was the spark to touch of
the explosion among the Yanks. II
seems there was ball that was ruled
both fair and foul by umpires Two
runs scored on it. but the ruling was
that only one could score. 1t is all
very bewildering to the Yanks be-
cause if it was fair why couldn't the
runs count and. if it were foul, why
allow one OF the runs?
Anyway. the Yanks are yelping and
Griff is gurgling. Would it be too
awful to say Case dismissed" and let

Charged With Abuse.

nHARA WAS charged with having
gone to the stewards stand during
the fifth race and used abusive Ian
guage to Doorley in objecting to
what he called Dcorley's interference
with the placing judges.
Chief Herman, some time ago, de-
cided that if photograph of the
finish of race was required by the
placing judges, whether for win, show
or place then no numbers of winning
horses should be flashed on the board
until the photograph was received
and examined by the judges. This, he
said. was to prevent the possibility of
wrong numbers being flashed on the
board. possibly causing people to tear
up winning tickets and to lose money
they legitimately had won.

Ooh1N1 at Ine dnkS side, there
is nothing to fire Mr.. Joe Nc
Carthy's enthusiasm at the moment.
There is a suspicion creeping that
Joe's ball club is not all that it is
cracked up to be away from Yankee
Stadium. The New York firm had
only 500 record for 10 games on the
current trip before yesterdays defeat
At home the Yanks have been al
most unbeatable. They have lost only
10 games and won 43 so far in Mr.,
Rupperts ball park, including that
Cleveland victory which must be re-
played because Of the Indians sue
cessful protest. Deducting this Yam
kee Stadium record, which you really
cannot do, New York then has won
81 and lost % so far on the road. This
Is something well under the world
champions .672 percentage.
Getting back to yesterdays game,
the Mats scored run in each of the
first three innings, one being un-
earned. These really were enough,
for Chase weakened only to the extent
OF giving up successive singles in the
second, causing a rum and walking
two men in the eighth, when the
Yanks pushed across one by sacrificing
and producing run-scoring fy ball.
The Mats fourth and last run was
noteworthy chiefly in that young
Master Chase's cup Of joy was filled to
overflowing as result. After Rick
Ferrell had doubled in the eighth

proximately two years after

a knocking out Joe Louis in IL
rounds Max Schmeling will get to
fight Louis for the world heavy
weight championship next June.
The announcement that the Ger
man clouter had been signed for the
bout came yesterday as no particular
surprise. Fight fans had been ex-
pecting Mike Jacobs TO attend TO that
affair as soon as he got the more
pressing matter of Joe's title defense
against Tommy Farr out of the way.
For Schmeling, however, it was
matter OF considerable Importance.
When he whipped Louis back in
June, 1886, Max. a former champion
himself, automatically superseded Joe
as No. l challenger for the crown
worn by Jimmy Braddock He signed
up to fight in September, then came
back from Germany to sign all over
again when Braddock developed arth-
ritis in his hands and said he couldn't
fight.
linen came an offer for Braddock
to defend the crown against Louis
IN Chicago last June. and Max made
another transatlantic trip. which
ended in his training for the "phan-
tom bout after losing practically
every round in a bitter court struggle.

While the National League snarl
featuring the Giants and Cubs, with
the Dodgers AS chief jokers, has been
drawing the spotlight on the base ball
stage recently. things have been hap
pening to those Yanks.
OF course, with nine-game lead
in the American League the Yanks
haven't any immediate worry. such as
the bogey-man which is haunting the
Giants, whose National League edge
was mere half game today, and
threatened still further by their chief
haters, the Dodgers.
