l know a young man who should
have spanking. He is the Presi-
dents 29-year-old son, Elliott Some
time ago he heard a person, who was
not talking to him, say something
disparagingly about his father. The
"youngster" was all set to fight, but
bystanders kept them apart. Some
one should tell Elliott his father never
grew to be big enough to occupy
the White House by fighting. Fur
thermore, some one should tell him
that his father is in public life and
unless the remarks which he heard
were defamatory, then he should have
been able to take it,"
1t is reported that in the United
States there is one automobile for
every five people and in France one
for every %. Holy smokes, if our

how can % get out of its way in
France? Italy has car for every
100 people. However, that number
is expected to change somewhat in
the next year or two due to Mus

ARENA WINNER
TO Get HIGHER
N. B. A. RANKING
By BOB ADDIE

An additional lure-a door prize
as 1t were-will tempt the winner
of the Andre Jessurun - Saverio
Turiello match at Turner's Arena
nexG Monday night. Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn with much rubbing
of the palms and slapping Of the
cheek today was informed by Col.
Harvey Miller that the winner of
Mondays bout will be second
ranking welterweight in the Ma
tional Boxing Association list.
Colonel Miller, in addition to
his duties as buffer of the press
and secretary of the District Box
ing Commission, is chairman Of
the N. B. A. ranking list board.
The colonel informed Goldie that
Jimmy Blake and Joe Maloney,
other members of the board, had
concurred in the prospective re-
shuffling of the welterweight dack.
Another interesting tidbit in the
days boxing news, outside of the
Denny Hughes furore, was Goldie's
triumphant announcement that
Barney Ross, welterweight boss,
would "poSitivel" appear in a Dis
trict ring sometime this summer.
Ross, according to Goldie, would
have appeared here next month
but, on being informed Of the
phone booth capacity of Turner's
Arena, said he had no desire to
box in private.
There is a strong possibility
that the winner of the Jessurun-
Turiello bout really will get a
crack at the championship. AS
we see it, Turiello is almost sure
to get 1t If he keeps winning. A
RoSs-J Jessurun bout would prob.
ably draw only relatives Of both
families but Saverio is a different
specimen.

UNS0.-A 7.to-5 favorite over
Max Baer in the wagering,
Tommy Farr today stood to
make more than many another
man in the next year or so, if
he wins. BY the same token he
will lose it all and wind up his
ill.fated American n invasion
forthwith and with gutteral
emphasis If he blows this one.
AS they laid aside the heavy
training equipment for their
15-round encounter scheduled
for tomorrow night at Madi-
son Square Garden, Farr had
most Of the followers in his
corner because he has shown one
Of the most convincing reversals
in style ever suddenly put on
display by any boxer. In great
haste, he apparently has added
a punch to his repertoire and
everybody was going along on
that-and the fact that he
whipped Baer once before.
Aside from the argument that
if he did 1t once he should be
able to do 1t again, Farr has
been extremely impressive belt
ing out his sparring partners

Ring Career Depends
On Bout With MANle BAer

would win easily and possibly
belt Baer into a technical knock
out. Not even they, however,
gave him much chance Of cut
ting down the former titleholder
into a cold and still heap. Baer's
chin is too tough for all save
Joe Louis, according to his dem
UnstrationS in the past.
It is an important fight for
both and probably will be quite
vicious. One more victory after
Friday night quite probably
would put one or the other into
the ring as a title challenger.
For Baer, nearly always q good
drawing card, that would mean
participation in another million
dollar gate in the championship
match.
Some were predicting a sell
OUT crowd at the Garden even
for this forthcoming thing.
That ought to be some kind OF
a record, considering that Baer
long has been in disrepute
around here because Of his poor
fights and his defeats, and Farr
presents much the same picture.
He has talked his way into such
unpopularity as few have known
before, and has made it all the
better by failing to win even one
fight.

himself suspended here today.
Woolfe claimed he had been
fouled by Jockey Adams on Count

Hospitality Plus

But Dorsey Griffith has all
o. this at the tips Of his fingers.
Just as he has the small detail
Of spare shoe laces, adhesive
tape, shoe horns and corn
plasters.
Hospitality is an angle of
any track meet with which Dor
sey Griffith has to do, as estab-
lished by his determining the
hobbies Of many Of the visiting
coaches.
For instance, Coach Phil
i Utley, of Wake Forest, is ad-
dicted to thin, chocolatecoated
peppermint waters.
Accordingly, he will find his
room Uttered with these tidbits
on his arrival at Catholic Uni
versity Saturday afternoon.
On the other hand, Coach
George Ekaitis, of Washington
College, Chestertown, Md, has
0 penchant for peanuts, which
will be on every table and chair
in his room, as well as under
his pillow.
! Brother Jerome, who is bring
ing a group of boys from st.
Francis College, of Brooklyn,
smokes long. black cigars and
will not want for them while
within the Brookland gates.
"NeO Business"
This all comes under the
head of making friends for the
Brookland folks and is as impor-
tant a detail in running track
meet as any Of the more oovi-
Gus arrangements.
| Would Dorsey Griffith select
some of the outstanding ath-
letes who will grace his meet?
He would.
The tracksterS who will ap-
pear in the Rector'S 1,000,yard
feature of the meet are the
names around which the pro-
gram is Quilt. These are Mary
lands Mason Cronister. Harold
Harvey, Of Washington and Lee,
Southern Conference 880-yard
champion, Nathan Gordon, Penn
States star miller and half-miler,
and Bill Morse, of Duke, who did
q mile in Baltimore last Satur-
day in 4:37.7.
! Then there is L. e. Chabot, OF
( Navy, who is featured in the
! Abbey Club 50-yard invitation
event. Chabot won the 70-yard
intercollegiate Saturday in 7:3
which is only a fifth of a second
off the record.
Oh, Dorsey Griffith fairly
exudes fractions when he comes
to quoting track performances,
but he still insists peanuts and
peppermint waters are part Of
q well-ordered track meet.

that Jimmy Dykes is not going to

the case Of Griff.
KUHEL ON BLOCK
The Washington president ne
gotiated for Bonura last winter.
From the vehemence Of his de-
malls that he is even so much as
interested in the big first sacker,
we must conclude that II the

time today, the greying fox" viii
be right there to answer.
The determination OF Bucky
Harris to develop Jimmy WaSdeil
admits of only one Interpretation.
Joe Kuhel still is on the block,
and will move at the very first
satisfactory offer.
Now let's look at the probable
lineup Of the Washington club for
the coming season.
SOUTHPAW LINEUP
Melo Almada, q lefthander leads
off. Buddy Lewis, a lefthander,
hits second, Buddy Myer, q left
handler. hits third. AL Simmons,
q righthander, hits fourth. Johnny
Stone, q lefthander. hits fifth.
Cecil Travis, a lefthander, hits
sixth. Rick Ferrell will hit sew
enth. Joe Kuhel or Jimmy Wes-
dell, lefthander, will hit eighth,
and then comes the pitcher.
The need Of a rightihanded hit
ter in that succession Of south
paws should be apparent even TO
the neophytes Of baseball. A
righthander of the power Of Bon
ura would be as welcome to this
club as rain over q desert.
Denial of willingness to trade
for a holdout is the accepted or.
der in baseball. It would
strengthen the position Of q hold
out for anyone to admit that he
would be welcome on another
club. -
! NOT MUCH!

Bonura," Griff said today. I'VE
offered Kuhel even UP for Bon
ura last winter. Dykes and Lou
Comiskey refused the offer, and
I said that then we had no

Oh, yeah? Well, Bonura hit
