 Notes

s, The Qonthier men continued their upsetting ways by taking Martin 2 to l, while Gibbons came back to take three points from Ken- dricks. This results in another dead lock between Gibbons and Martin for the leadership. Tonight they meet and the few will fly. Gonthier will attempt to carry on and will try to take Hendricks in stride.
 Gonthiers men had total of 1900, and average of 100 per man for each game. There were no standouts with Boughton in the can with 322. The Martin men were handicapped by the loss of J. Kerwin, who was on the sicklist and this loss will be per- manent, as "Jerry" is now working nights. The league will miss Jerry, who was present and on time every week. Supervisor Bill Shea had a bad evening, for himself and Ed Mccormack 1t was a night of chop and pick.
 Gibbons took Desmavis, due to some timely bowling by J. Dalton and R. Grady. The Tracy brothers bowled steady, while Captain Jim had 305. The Kendrick men, although losing three points fought hard, but 1t was not in the books. c. Stein had two games over 100. while "Parch" Desmavis was high with BIO. Captain Joe and Bill Kelly promise to halt Gonthier tonight.
 The standing to date follows:

New York, February g. (UP) - I paused in the lobby of Madison Square Garden last night to have another look at the collection of fight prints that hang there. This Louvre of clout has them all - Sul- livan, Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Demp- sey and the rest of the heavyweights down to and including the incunl- bent, James J. Braddock.
 It seemed incongruous to see Jims picture hanging up there along with those of men whose names will live as long as the sport itself. It struck me as strange that man who $ supposed to be the best knuckie- flinger in the world could hold out for almost two years before finding whether he still has a claim to that distinction.
 And the pictures seemed to agree with this theory.
 As I studied print of Sullivan, with bare fists cooked, handle-bar mustache dropping over his jowls and wearing an expression that seemed to say, T can lick any man in the world for beer, money or fun," l could almost hear the Boston strong boys words:
 Boxing is a sport. A good sport never violates promise - and that's

what Braddcok, spurred on by his packers, wants to do. When he won the title he automatically pledged to defend 1t against the best man available - regardless of race, po- litical affiliations or money. He promised to meet Schmeling after Max beat Louis. Now he is side stepping the issue, because he's afraid he can't make enough money if he fights Schmeling."
 moved over to a picture of the second Dempsey -Tunney fight in Chicago the one that over 100,- 900 persons paid $2,658,66O to see. And I doubted that Braddock, who wants to risk his title against Louis in the same Soldier Field, would even come close to drawing that many people -- regardless of where when and whoever he meets in his first defense.
 We paid to see fighters in action, the blur of humanity packed around that ring and far up into the dark ness of the huge stadium seemed to say. We knew this one would 60 down in history and we fought to lay our dough on the line to see It."
 Hard by the Tunney-Dempsey shot was one of old Jim Corbett.
 Tt was back in 1892," old gentle man Jim appeared to remark, that won the title from Sullivan at New Orleans. He insisted on a side bet of $10,000. The purse was $25, 900 50 1t added up to 8 winner -take-all stake of $45,000. The fight went 2l rounds. ..s.
 Those side bets were the custom in our day because we were willing to risk everything on one throw Of the dice. Guarantees? Training expenses? Why they would have laughed us out of the ring If we asked for them. We were fighters and we followed the trade because we loved it."
 After leaving the Garden with it's memories I walked by the Hippo drome - still thinking about those two listed timers.
 And outside the Hippodrome the dream faded. Because there was a sign advertising that Braddock would appear next week in two exhibitions Against whom? Who cares?

BRADDOCK- BOMBER
 BATTLE IS DEFINITE

Chicago. Feb. 9. (UP)-Chairman Joe Triner of the Illinois athletic commission said today the proposed heavyweight title fight between Champion Jimmy Braddock and Joe Louis definitely was on and mo man or group of men in Chicago were strong enough to stop it."
 His statement was prompted by a report that the Chicago Centennial Jubilee sports committee might re- fuse to back the bout because Mike Jacobs of New York's 20th Century Sporting club was co-promoter. The committee meets tomorrow to de- eide.
 Louis, meanwhile, opened training for his Feb. IT bout at Kansas City with Matte Brown. He will work out here until the end of the week when he and Braddock were expected to sign for the title fight.
 Exact date and site will be an- nounced before Saturday, Triner said.

PHILLY ITALIAN
 BEATEN BY LEWIS
Colored Champion Wins l5-Round Decision Be-
 Before l4,OOO

Philadelphia, Feb. 9.-(UP)-Dis- pute over a hometown decision whereby blonde Al Ettore was awarded verdict over Light Heavy weight Champion John Henry Lew is explosive fists.
 Outweighed II 1-2 pounds, Lewis silenced the argument by battering out 15-round decision over the Philadelphia Italian last night in as savage brawl as any of the 14,000 screaming spectators ever saw. It was a nip and tuck affair until the end, Ettore giving a magnificent display of grit and courage by com ing back after being fioored twice for a count of nine in the third to stagger the Arizona negro in the fourth.
 Both appeared determined to pre- vent replica of their 10-rounder Jan. 4 when Ettore was awarded a decision that provoked such an ar- gument that the verdict was changed to draw five days later. They stood toe-to-toe and slugged from gong to gong, a regular old time Pier 8 brawl that had the spectators standing in their seats and yelling for the home town boy to knock him out"
 Both men were over the light heavyweight limit, and Lewis title was not at stake, but 1t might as well have been judging from the closeness of the fight. Referee Leo Houck and Judge Matt Adgie voted for Lewis, while Judge Murphy called 1t draw. The United Press score sheet showed eight for John Henry and seven for Ettore.
 Lewis weighed 181; Ettore, 191 1-2. The unofficial gate was $35, 900

WINSTON GIVEN
 SHOT AT BARRY
 IN WASHINGTON
Rainault Signs Pair for
 lO-ROund Bout Next Monday Night
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent)

Boston, Feb. 9--(UP)--Mr. Homer c. Rainault, the Holyoke prize fight promoter, started some missionary work today. The portly matchmaker, who tried unSuccessfuliy to match Joe Louis and Hartford's Unknown Winston for the negro heavyweight cham pionship of the world" has signed Winston for a Hereunder with Donald (Red) Barry of Washing ton, D. O., at Holyoke next Monday night. s..
 This will be Winston's first ap- pearance in a Massachusetts ring since he drew a years suspension Cit subsequently, was reduced to 10 months) for taking a nose dive here in November, 1895, against former heavyweight champion Jack Shar- key. 4t
 Rainault,s missionary aim is very simple. He's trying to convert the Bay State boxing public to Win stonism. To be more specific. he's attempting to sel lthe idea that the Connecticut negro is a pretty good country fighter when he wants to be despite his moist exhibition with Sharkey.
 When and if he succeeds in put ting the idea across, everything will be hunky dory for Rainault. who doubles in brass as 8 night club pro- prietor. You see, the real objec- tive of this Winston comeback" is to build up the Hartford negro as @ headline gate attraction. Of course, business IS business and Mons. Rainault is too astute a gent not to know that profess sional boxing in Massachusetts is denitely on the road back.
 In January, 1936, for instance, 9,922 fans paid only $7,628 to see total of 16 shows in this state. Most of them that month were run in Lowell and Lynn. But last month 18,329 fans paid $20,641 to witness F professional cards-Inost of which were in Holyoke and Boston. Hol- yoke is the boxing capital of vest ern Massachusetts. Rainault is the reigning figure in the pro fight game there. And if he can sell Winston to the public as 8 headliner-well, you can see the possibilities. Perhaps Rainault didn't realize 1t when he matched Winston and Barry. Anyway, he's bringing to- gether two young fellows who were champions" in their own cute little way back in 1935.
 Within five weeks during that year Barry visited the canvas 50 frequently (three times) that he won at least one leg on the horizontal title.
 Coincidentally, that was the same year that Winston, by virtue of his performance against Sharkey, cap- tured boxing's "springboard" cham pionship-head first, of course.

 League

The Ciders certainly got the breaks last week in being scheduled to roll the Wine team which only had three men. The league leaders, as usual, had full team and final ly managed to win all three games. We didn't mind the second game because they won that one by 65 pins, du emainly to Doc. Hayes splendid 137. But, they took the first and last games by a margin of only 2 pins each and this with 5choeck and Murray out of the Wine lineup. Had they been rolling almost any other team, the Ciders would have most certainly lost at least two games. At any rate, Ken nedy 323 and Hayes 316 were high for the Cider3, while Conway 34l and Ray Corden 303 topped the Wine scorers.
 The Champagnes were led by Johnson. their crack lead off man who had 344, in taking two games away from the second place Gins. In addition. Gregory rolled a 332 for them. The Gins power failed them completely after the first game although Mike Daley was bril- liant with a three game score of 327. Schoenmehl had a 304 and Fred Delaney 303.
 The WhiSkieo took over undis- puted possession of third place in the standing by winning two games from the Cognacs. The Cog macs were of again but managed to win the last game as Dick White and Stafstrom put together scores of IA and 128 respectively for a twenty-Six pin victory. Jack Corden was high man for the Whiskies with 3l5 and was closely followed by Jack Slattery,s 312 and Boss" Healeys' ?0'. We note by the score- cards that the latter has gone back to his old love. the No. l spot in the lineup. The move apparently has proved advantageous to the Boss" Stafstrom had the only good score for the "Cogs" and his was 328.
 The Brandies and Beers put on the highest scoring match of the evening. Inc former hitting 1573 and the iatter 1580. The Brandiea benefited from a completely chang cd lineup and won two games as Mike H0ran hit 368, Mike Montory 337 and Bill Kern 306.
