Donahue- e-Henriquez Bout Friday Has Many Attractions

If Pat "Kilier" Donahue of Ire- land is half as tough as he is re- puted to be. there should be two ambulances backed up to the door of Buckingham hall Friday night when the huge Irishfilan gets into the ring with Dr. Carlos Henriquez, who has yet to lose a bout in over 800 gripping duels. Here's the latest on Donahue from New York ad- mirer:
 Pat Killer Donahue is creat- ing a sensation at Bothner's gym nasium, New York city. He has a standing offer of $50 to any man that stays ten minutes with him during his daily workouts from ? to 4 D. m. daily. No one has collected yet, although some of the countries best wrestlers have tried. Owing to the number of wrestlers Donahue has injured in these workouts the New York boxing commission will take up at its next meeting the matter of barring Donahue's head and torso squeeze hold. Donahue is now barred in England and Ireland on account of same thing.
 "Henriquez is secretly training at Lake Hopatcong, N. J., and claims he has @ complete defense for Donahue's hold. However, he is put ting himself in perfect condition and realizes that Donahue is a man of immense strength and outweighs him by over sixty pounds.
 "rhe Cuban consulor service has reserved a block of twenty seats; from the coast Lew Darro and his great champion, Vicente Lopez, will be at the ringside; two rows have been specially reserved by leading wrestiers and their friends to see this great match which is the talk of the wrestling world. gs m ~
 Among the wrestling critics Don- ahue has been installed the favorite at odds 8 to S."

GROWN TACKLES TOUGH TASK OF SIGNING J. FORK
Manager and Star Cut $5,. 900 Have ''Heavy
 Date" Today
BY ERNEST RARcELLA

lUnlteW kEeSB Heek2 correspondent
 Boston, March 3. = (Up) = The Jimmy Foxx contract peeve ap- breaches the showdown stage today when Manager Joe Cronin mushes Into Sarasota. Florida, for . salary pow.wow with the recalcltrant Red Box first-sacker.
 This will be Manager Joe,s first big test in his new role as MT. Fixit. And it promises to be tough one, because he will be dealing with a guy who has been asked to take 5000 less than the 25 grand he re- ceived last season.
 According to reports from the south, Joe's first assignment will be to answer Q rather embarrassing question put to him by Foxx. The question goes something like this:
 Who's idea was 1t to cut my sal- ary - yours or Collins's General Manager Eddie Colliils)?
 Jimmy, according to a Florida dis- patch, seems to have answered his own question. The Maryland farm boy who made good in the big time described the document offered him as . Connie Mack contract"-- you're asked to take . pay cut if the management thinks you're going to ask for 8 raise.
 Then Foxx is quoted as saying that Collins learned plenty of things from Mack especially "how to make out contracts" But, since Jimmy also worked for Mack once, he Is expected to know how to avoid 6 salary slash.
 Announcement that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., won't be able to resume rowing because of his recent illness means that the White House will not be represented in the Har- yard Varsity shell this year--even though Brother John Is out for crew.
 Reasonl Those who know their rowing say the presidents youngest son Is not a very hot oarsinan--at least not hot enough to make the varsity boat.
 On the other hand, young Frank lin, who rowed in the Jayvee shell the past two years, was figured to be good enough to make the varsity this spring.
 State Representative Charles w. Olson of Ashland (Mass.) possesses pretty good sense of humor. He opposed measure to license wrestling in Massachusetts, giving the following as his reason: The present set.up keeps old broken down wrestlers off the wel- fare"
 Not bad. huh?

 Foe of Champion Gar. den Boss Opines
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York. March S-(Upl--Jim Braddock, as heavyweight cham pion, will never fight Joe Louis in America until he risks his title against Max schmeling, Col John Reed Fitzpatrick, Madison Square Garden president, confidently pre- dicted today
 "Our contract with Braddock is iron clad" he said. He fights for us, or he don't fight. The law Is on ors side and our legal staff is con- vinced he cannot evade provisions of his contract with us to fulfiil his recent contract to fight Louis in Chicago June 21."
 Fitzpatrick lined up with echtnel- ing when the German challenger ar- rived last night on the liner Ber- engaria. The two will confer today. Max is just as convinced as Xiii patrick will be in the Gardens Long Island bowl ring to defend his title June 3.
 If Braddock was just an ordinary fighter we might not be 50 sure of our ground" Fitzpatrick said. "But he is the champion, therefore the court cannot tell us to go out and dig Up another opponent for Schmeling Braddock is unusual in that he is the titleholder, and we have f1recedent kO hack lit1. The courts ruled in our favor against Primo Camera because of his ex- traordinary size."
 Fitzpatrick was not as hopeful about legal action started against former champion Maxie Baer yes- terday. Baer signed to meet Bob Pastor in the Garden this month, but walked out on the boxing com- missioners just as they were ready to issue him New York Boxing license.
 He booked passage on the Ber- engaria sailing today for England where he is scheduled ti fight in mid-April.
 The Garden secured Q court sum- mons yesterday against Baer, his manager Ancil Hoffman, Brig. Gen., A. c. Critchley, London promoter. and his matchmaker, Syd Hulls. The latter was the only one served but Fitzpatrick promised that legal bloodhound5 will be guarding every passageway at the liners peir to- day,
