LeftS Irritate Straiges.

nUNNES left mainly was his most
annoying weapon to Straiges, al
though an occasional right to the mid
section and several stif rights to the
chin played an important part in the
eventual outcome. Neat right-hand
counter-punches to the jaw were
Joey's tools, but they failed to pack
the authority Of Dunne's pokes.
Neither fighter ever was staggered
to any appreciable degree, although
each probably drained something from
the other in q hectic seventh round,
which found both draped on the re-
ceiving end of solid rights to the
face. The Stars score sheet showed
the seventh and third rounds both
even, with Dunno taking four Of the
remaining six sessions.
Contrasting last weeks arguments,
when three bouts consumed only II

went the route and there was no

His Help Is Needed.

WOOD, being an in-and-outer, de-
Nv served no consideration for the
Davis Cup team. When they did play
him, he flunked his chance miserably.
He couldn't control his nerves. and,
without nerves, his court wizardry, his
science, didn't amount to what the
old folks used to call tinker's dam.
Up till now think the authorities
were very right Gas right as a tennis
authority can ever be- in barring Mr..
Sidney Wood from the Davis Cup
team.
But Wood has q new and Sounder
claim to recognition as we 60 to press.
There is a chance for America to win
the cup. Fred Perry no longer rep
resents England in simon-pure way,
which means that Germany and AUS
tralia are the teams to beat. America
can lick England If she gets past those
two.
Don Bulge can lick England alone,
with some slight assistance from
Gene Mako in the doubles match.
But he can't lick Germany and Aus
. tralia. In the penultimate and ante
penultimate rounds. he will need the
help of . singles player with poise and
experience, and I think Wods nils the

Grant Regarded Too Fran.

ON RECORD, Grant seems the logi-
cal choice. Yet Parker has many
loyal advocates and, while few urge
Riggs, he Is not without supporters.
Iagree entirely. I cannot see Grant.
Parker or Riggs having q chance with
players like Won Cramm. Austin, Quist
or Crawford in cup play.
Even McGrath and Henkel are at
least an even chance against the young
Americans. My choice is Wood.
Even amid the howl I can hear 60 up.
I repeat, Wood is my choice!
For these reasons:
Neither Grant, Parker nor Riggs
has a real chance to beat great for
eign stars, in my opinion. At their
best, they will lose.
Wood has proved in the past that
even though he may falte. at times
and go below his best, yet he is ca
pable of producing tennis equal to
the worlds best amateurs. Most Of
his failures have been in individual
competition; much Of his finest play
In Davis Cup.
Wood has q mentality and temper
ament that needs the stimulus Of
patriotism to fire his imagination and
inspire his game, yet, at the same
time, he Is nervously 50 constituted
that uncertainty will upset his co-or-
dination and he cannot reach his

Leonard's Cunning Is Seen
as Lightweight Protege
Defeats Straiges.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

IA OO0XOEN nav AxNOs
~ Emmy LEONARD, even in his
= foggiest moments against Lew
Tender. never has been ac-
- cused Of being numb between
the ears. The retired undefeated
lightweight champion of the world
still maintains more than . shred Of
his shrewdness. and Irish Eddie
Dunno, his fistic protege, reveals
Benny's keen judgment.
Leonard still Is just as clever as
the night when. groggy, battered and
out on his feet, he talked to Tender
and gabbed Lew out Of title. Lew
needed only one good crack at Benny's
jaw and Benny's undefeated status
would have slithered into oblivion.
Physically shot, Leonard temporarily
made Tender forget his objective and
thereby retained his title.
Benny didn't offer the comparison,
but nevertheless he unhesitatingly
states the current crop Of fighters
suffers when paralleled with the fight-
ers Of his era. And the reason.
according to Benny, strictly is in the
mental makeup Of boxers today.
They're not willing to sacrifice"
offered one Of the greatest lightweights
in ring history. II attribute rs per
cent Of the success I experienced in
the ring to the life lived outside the
ropes. Promising young fighters now
will train for an hour and then trot
out to q night club the same evening.
Fighters are not made that way.
Night Clubs Take Toll.
GEE" continued Benny, If had
been seen in q night club
somebody would have killed me. We
belonged to the fans in those days
and we had to take it seriously. Kids
now get q few bucks fighting and rush
out to spend it on some girl. That's
why they're 50 many stumblebums"
Benny has developed . youngster
who is different in Dunno. Already
the knowledge the red-haired kid has
absorbed from Leonard Is producing
gratifying results. Last night at Tur-
ner's Arena, for instance, Dunno
whipped the highly-regarded Joey
Straiges in an eight-rounder, which.
for clever boxing. surpassed any bout
unveiled there this season.
In gaining the unanimous decision
Eddie left an fndenble impression on
Washington's fstic colony which had
seen the talented Straiges in four win
ming bouts here and had become rather
attached to the clean-cut Lad. 1t was
Joey's first defeat in 80 starts pro-
fessionally.
Dunno now has supplanted Straiges
as the Districts favorite lightweight
and probably will retain that spot II
his future improvement Is Is marked
as his strides in the past.
Eddie seldom misses an opportunity.
What few flaws were noticed In his
style by ringworms were Of q minor
nature. and most fans are willing to
ooncede he Is q more promising pros
pect than Straiges or Washington's
Lou Gevinson. And in addition to his
own equipment. he Is managed by
Leonard.
