it away and leave you some money

Betty Ann consented.
That night, however. her mother
found that she had nothing smaller
than a dollar bill. and-well, she
couldn't 60 back on her word.

 Pinch Hitting for Henry McLemore

Joe Foley's weak brown eyes man. aged 8 tiny sparkle.
 "Ole Jim ever forgot that five bucks and he never will" Foley sighed. "Ole Jim got his big chance right here in Chicago with a shave and a haircut and g pressed suit.
 That's why we're 50 sure Jim will fight for his title against Joe Louis out there's fin Comiskey park next June 9. Not in New York or Berlin or oshkosh"
 Foley, one-tiine sports editor, pub letter an dnow sole promoter of the biggest fight since the second Tunney Dempsey business in 1927, may or may not believe in the power of that five bucks.
 He doesn't have to. The day he puts tickets on sale, he can fill more than $6Oo,000 worth of applications on file. The guarantee of $500,000 to Braddock--termed sky thigh, ull- believable and he'll never get that kind of money" when the deal first was aniaounced-can be placed in 8 bank the same day.
 That's champions money" Foley said. "Hell never get dough like that in Berlin"
 Spontaneous ticket orders were the heaviest for any bout since the record-smashing Dempsey Tunney gate of 1927.
 Part was due to the attraction Braddock vs. the Bomber. Part was due to the fact late corners in 1927 had to sit on the outer fringe of Soldiers field, some three miles outside the city limits.
 We won't even print tickets for the spots you can't see from in Coiniskey park" Foley said, "We'll get So0O0 customers in there and every one will see the bout"
 Economic experts predicted for every dollar spent at the fight, at least five more would drop into the tills at hotels, night clubes and res- taurants-a million dollar fight gate, Q $700,000 mutuel handle at the American derby revived at Washing ton park June l9, and $5,000, ,000 more in whoopee over the week end.
 All, perhaps, for 8 five dollar bill in the right spot. Whose fin was 1t? It was a collection. Down in the musty training gym, they felt sorry for washed up pug named Braddock.

FL TYING CLOUD AN EASY WINNER Prelims Won Most Interest on Five Bout Bill-TwO
 Draw Decisions

Chief Flying Cloud was an easy winner over Steve Rose of Maine in two straight falls of the main bout at Buckingham hall last night, which was the setting from which more than 1000 fans took in the lively wrestling action in five bouts. The well-known body slam turned the trick for the Cherc:ee Indian in less than l2 minutes for the first fall and in less than two minutes after they resumed grappling it vas all over and bit sour. Referee Jack Fischman had a principal part ln the proceedings in addition to his official duties, landing a hefty right on the mangled mush of Ivan Podubny, the Russian Bear, who ob- Jected to a disqualification for d foul by the referee and went after the official to throw" him. follow ing 26 minute drill with Max the Panther. Ded Dragon and the White Masked Cyclone had 1t out Tn and out of the ring to the great glee of the customers immediately adjacent to the aisle where the ooys wiped the floor with each other.
 Ace Gordon, trained and spon- sored by Kark Pojello won his way into local favor after a fine half hour draw with Steve Stills, former Boston U. athlete while George Dagilis and Benito Bonica also broke even in half hour of good wrestling. Both bouts were tops on the program for real entertainment.

KIpHUTH HAS HAD GREAT
 COACH CAREER
Eli Swimmers Lost Only 7 Meets in 2I Years;
 Works Hard
By G. FREDERICK MULLEN United Press Stan Correspondent

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New Haven, Conn, March 2O.-- (UP)-Yale's swimming mentor Bob Kjphuth plugged two rumors to- day--one that he couldn't swim a stroke and the sother that he was in the doldrums because Harvard shot a hole in his record of l3 years without a losing team.
 A plunge in Payne Whitney pool settled the argument over his swimming ability. AS for the teams first defeat in 163 starts-at Cam bridge last week-he observed "it doesn't hurt anyone to get set down once in Q while
 Some Record
 Since Kiphuth took over the coaching job in 1916, Yale mermen have lost but seven meets, and only four of these were intercollegiate events. Princeton was the seventh winner, in 1924.
 In two months and half this year the team participated in 12 intercollegiate meets and won each handily. The setback at Cambridge was not without its better side, for several new records were added to the Blue roster.
 Kiphuth came to Yale from Ton owanda, N. r., where he was born Nov. i7, 1890, and where, from 1910 to 1914, he was director of physical education in the Y. M. c. A. Yale appointed him an instructor in physical education-he now holds the rank of assistant professor and heads the department of general physical education.
 His first job at Yale in 1916 was to regulate the sanitation of the pool. His attention turned to sWim- ming. His first year as coach was so successful he decided to carry oil. Now he is considered foremost authority on the sport.
 r Tops
 He coached the U. s. Olymplcs swimmers in 1923, 1892, and 1886. His talent was called upon in 1881 when he was appointed coach and manager of the All-American swim ming team which participated in the dedicatory meet in the En- peror HeiJi shrine swimming pool at Tokyo.
 His term as coach has not been without fad. Last year, when his physical condition made 1t inadvis- able to enter the water, he con- trived divers outfit. This enabled him to enter the pool and from be- heath the surface watch the me- chanics of his pupils. It was dis carded this year, but will be used again.
 Bob, who is short and stocky, usu- ally smiling and always very busy is one of the most popular of col lege coaches in the country. His many duties at Yale demand every minute of his time, but he has never been known to express a desire for a more leisurely life.

Chicago, March 20-(UP)-The woods are full of guys who helped Jimmy Braddock get off relief. Most of them remembered 1t the night Jim out-somethinged Max Baer for the heavyweight champion ship. Most of them Braddock never heard of.
 But back in 1893, when a shave and a haircut meant the chance for a down -at-the-heels light heavy weightt to start his Cinderella come back. a five dollar bill changed hands. tt
 It was just 8 fln-but 1t clipped the thick, blue stubple off Braddock's chin and a shaggy mane of his neck. He looked like another man. The Illinois boxing commission reversing an opinion that he was unfit to fight decided to take chance.
 Jim was fed to g wild-eyed killer --one Martin Levandowski, the Michigan wllameroo-aid upset him. Next came Corn Grimm and Art Lasky and Max Baer.

 Refuse to Play
 The argument arose with the Hat !Towners leading. the locals by six points with only four minutes and 30 seconds of the first half remain- ing. Darlington elected Jim Feeley from the game and Danbury refused to play unless he remained in the contest which prompted the offi- cial's action.
 The Danbury Club protested the game and will be given 8 hearing this afternoon. If their protest claims materialize they will meet the Centrals in the last game of to- nights bill.
