Sacrifice Cut
realize that he'll be sacrific-
ing the champions cut of big
purse with Louis, to say nothing
of the $4,000 bond he has agreed
to let the local boxing commission
take out of his Braddock money as
evidence of his intention to re-
turn. Moreover. 1 feel able to
state, with confidence, that money
of any kind means very little
more to Schmeling than his jugu-
lar vein.
But he probably hopes to
haggle that $4,000 out of us,
since it doesn't happen to be ours
anyhow, and as for the rest, he'll
take it out in prestige as the SYM
boil of German Superiority-First,
as the only man in history to
win the heavyweight champion
ship twice and, second, as a party
who is so downright good that he
has to retire. It's superb pro-
gram, with only one thing against
it.
I don't think he'll even beat
Braddock in June.

Griffs Follow
Baseball Law

Complying with baseball law,
the washington club mailed a
contract to Cliff Bolton, the
catcher who left the team
abruptly last summer when his ap-
plication for leave of absence was
denied. This was no gesture of
forgiveness on the part of the
Griffs. Bolton is very much in
"the red," and will remain in that
shade and category until he plays
himself back into the good graces
of the front office.
If the Washington club had not
sent Bolton a contract prior to
the start of the training season,
the catcher automatically would
become a free agent, if Judge
Lands so ruled. Wherefore the
canny Clark Griffith merely pro
tected his property rights in send
ing forth the sealed papers.
Whether Griffith imposed Ger
tain penalties upon Bolton is not
known. 1t is not at all likely that
Cliff drew any increase in salary
Griff has received notes from
some of the players stating that
they are ready to start a nine
inning game right now" None
of the boys states whether or moi
he could finish that same game
in case his bluff were called.

Al Ettore UpsetS
Henry Lewis

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Al
Ettore, local Italian fighter, today
held a 10-round decision over
John Henry Lewis, Phoenix (ArizJ
Negro, whose light heavyweight
title was not at stake.
A crowd of $4,000 fans saw Et-
tore come from behind after tax
ing severe punishment in the first
five rounds. At the finish, Ettore
showed more scars Of battle than
his opponent.
In the first round, Lewis opened
a slight cut over Ettore'S right
eye, and midway in the bout he
brought blood from Ettore's nose
In the eighth round, the Phila
delphian's left eye was swollen
after contact with Lewis left.
After the first four rounds. Et
tore began working on Lewis with
hard rights, which slowed up the
champion and made him easier to
hit. Ettore was the aggressol
from then on, pounding Lewis
continuously until the final bell
There were no knockdowns.
The judges divided on the de-
cision. Referee Joe McGuigan de-
cided it by giving Ettore the YER
dict. The verdict was unpopular
with the fans, most of them favor
ing a draw decision.
Ettore weighed 1919 to 1873 for
Lewis. q
The Washington times., 1937-01-05

Briefly, if Schmeling wins the
heavyweight championship IN
June, he won't be back, as ar
ranged, to fight Louis in Septem-
ber.
AS a matter of fact. it's entirely
probable that he won't be back TO
fight Louis any time.
Unless, in a manner of speaking,
I'm being very reliably mlsln'
formed, Schmeling intends to do a
Tunney after the June meeting,
make one last fight against some
reliable chunnp back home and re-
tire undefeated. Tunney picked a
lummox named Heeney, with
short arms and the outstanding
skill of a window washer.

termined to face the situation
souarely and have it out with Ben
Foord. Mr.. Foord is currently the
heavyweight champion OF Great
Britain, meaning that, if he's ike
all the others, he won't come up
willingly for the third round:
They'll have to go in there and
scrape him up.
AS for the Louis match, Schmel-
ing can say, and doubtless WILL
that he beat Louis by a knockout

In the college ranks Bumps made
a tremendous hit.
To start with, Bumps was a
lovely character. His soft voice,
his Southern accent, his tolerance,
his kindness and his golden smile
won the hearts of all with whom
he came in contact. In the col
legiate circuits he was particularly
popular and every time Bump quit
a college his mates would hide a
tear as they bade him farewell.
Doors Always Open
Bumps was taller than his
wrestling brother, Joe. I would
say that he scaled along about
1876. I do not know that Bumps
ever completed his secondary edu-
cation but he encountered no diff
Guilty entering colleges.
AS a collegian, Bumps started
his football career in the old
South Atlantic area. Then he
moved deeper into the South,
again to play college football.
From the deep South he moved
into the Southwest, and from
that territory he hit the midwest.
Bumps had more alma matters
than Robert Tiny" Maxwell.
Incidentally, Bumps always
chose his new alma mater with
great care; indeed, with the same
care DOC" King exercised in mix
ing a whiskey-sour at old Loskam's
in F Street. Consequently, when
he hit the midwest, Bumps
looked around quite a bit before
deciding on his next college. He
arrived in the midwest in mid,
August and studied the situation
Finally he made his choice of a
new alma mater and presented
himself to the graduate manager
Job Was Necessary
In soft accents, Bumps said to
the graduate manager:
"Suh, / love to play football.
The game is paht and pahCel O.

Old Pals Part
As Granville
Takes Leave
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

There was a sad part
ing yesterday t W x t
man and beast at the
B e Ia ir Stud Farm,
around the bend and
over the knoll from the
Defense Highway.
They led a grand race horse
out of his stable, layered knee
high with crisp, yellow straw,
loaded him on a well-uphol-
stored van and carted him down
in OF Virginia, where he will
be used strictly for the i'm
provement of the breed.
And it indeed was a doleful
farewell when Granville, champion
three-year-old of 1886, was gently
taken from the haunts which saw
him develop in to competitive
greatness, by hands which had
nurtured him since the first day
he felt the sensation of halter
being softly slipped about his
velvety head. Stable boys and
trainers stood, hat in hand,
watching the van disappear far up
the road.
To Stud Duty
BY nightfall Granny" as the
famous Woodward thoroughbred
was affectionately called by those
who watched over him, was safely
bedded down in a cozy barn 80
miles away at Boyce, Va, where
he will live in the grandeur of
the rolling horse country for
which the section is noted, and
no doubt sire many a foal which
will bring back the memory OF
the star of the equine performers
OF 1885.
For Granville, the gallant son
of Gallant Fox, was not only the
tops among the three-year-olds in
the year which lies just behind,
but he was also adjudged the best
horse of the season of any age
and the leading money winner.
And he carried his laurels
lightly enough in his first step OF
retirement as might befit any
horse that has only turned
four-year-old.
Whereas Mr.. Woodward might
have kept on racing his aristo-
crat of the turf for one, two or
three more years, he will look to
Teufel and others to keep his
colors in front in Difference to
preserving the rich strain in the
blood of Granville, which in turn
is of Gallant Fox stock who was
o Sir Gallahad III foal than
which there is no better.
Kenneth N. Gilpin, who has
\ leased Granville from Mr.. Wood
ward for stud duty, and who
called at Belair Stud in person to
superintend the loading, declares
he has Is engagements for Gram
vile for immediate breeding.

his undoing.
