HEAVY COIN SPURS
ABRAMS TONIGHT
Victory Over Jones in Big
Test Would Mean Star
Bouts This Summer,
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

With mingled eagerness and trepi-
dation, mild-mannered George Abrams
tonight gingerly will take his second
step into the ranks Of mediocre mid
dleweights at Turner's Arena, and
how he handles himself-and Jimmy
Jones-will determine his immediate
pugilistic pattern.
Potentially Abrams eighteenth VIC
tim since the Jewish lad emerged from
amateur ranks here last May, Jones
never has been accused of greatness,
but. by the same token. he is clever,
experienced and rugged enough to
rate no worse than even money
against the local lad and that is
something Of novelty.
After smacking over a parade Of
palookas designed to Sharpen his
weapons, Abrams ventured out on the
limb trifle in his last scrap and
registered another victory over. an
unorthodox, rough Tony Ciaccio. Tony
would have won that argument had
he elected to do so according to ring
etiquette, but if nothing else, the bout
served to illustrate Abrams at least
can hold his own in stormy weather.
Jones q Problem for George.
The bettle-browed Jones, who for
several years has been a favorite with
Baltimore fans, figures to present new
problems to George over the eight
round distance. His crouching style
and incessant midsection drilling may
hamper Abrams, and his shell-like
defensive tendencies calculate to test
Georges attack.
Abrams, who ranks with Marty GAL
lagher and Lou Gevinson as the finest
fighters local simon-pure circles have
produced in this generation, is only a
few brief steps from becoming the
Districts most popular puncher, and
a defeat by Jones would mar what
shapes up as ar-dipped summer
season for the 1s-year-old lad.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn cur
rently is toying with the idea Of
matching Abrams with Phil Fur early
in May, and also is nursing fond hopes
of importing either Teddy Yarosz or
Harry Balsamo for George, but Jones,
q seasoned campaigner, may upset the
entire scheme.
Nedomatsky Meets Brookman.
Ivan Nedomatsky, Jones brother,
will clash with Ell Brookman, another
rising amateur product, in the most
attractive preliminary. Nedomatsky,
three time Southern Conference
champion at the University of Mary
land, has performed well since desert
ing collegiate cuning, but rates only
slight edge over the determined
Brookman in their six-round semi
final engagement.

CARDS LOOK BEST
IN SENIOR CIRCUIT
Club Has Many Flaws, but
1t Exceeds Its Rivals
in Speed, Power.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 21.
You've been hearing for some time
that the National League is no great
shakes. Prof. Thomas Meany, the
popular Flatbush scientist, sums up
the case for the prosecution in the
Saturday Evening Post. He says that
the National League is weak and not
too smart. and believe, even at that,
he is undertaking the case.
Only in league like the 1898
National could the St. Louis Cardinals
hope to win the pennant. Their pitch
ing is doubtful. their outfield is doubt
ful, their infield is very. very doubtful,
and their catching-well, call it doubt
full. Yet they expect to run off with
the ribbon this year, and your cor
respondent expects to see them do it.
Not Much to Beat.
The fact is, they haven't much to
beat. The Pirates possess more class
and balance, but the Pirates never
seem to win. The Cubs are a half
young, haif-old club with at least two
and half managers. The Giants are
short on vigor and right-handed pitch
ing. To sum it all up in the words of
John Pepper Martin, the useful
Cardinal outflelder:
Il wonder who the Yanks will pitch
against us in the first game of the
World Series"
An innocent bystander would not
put great deal of faith in these
Cardinals, just hearing them talk.
Catch them on the ball field, though,
and the Cardinals impress you with
their potential batting strength. Any
medium-fair slugging team can win
the pennant in the National League,
where the sluggers are few and widely
spaced
Fastest in Majors.
Medwick, MiZe, and the new out
fielder, Enos Slaughter, can murder
the ball. The two Martins and
Bordagaray are fair hitters, and they
and Moore and Gutteridge and Brown
are all fleet of foot. This is easily the
fastest team in either league.
Dean, Warneke, and Weiland are
veteran pitchers, full of craft. The
young pitchers are a better than
average lot. You can call the roll of
this teams flaws till Tuesday, without
getting past the letter B-but it's still
the team to beat.

Hank Greenberg recently said very
frankly that, for the first couple of
years he was in the American League,
he was in constant fear of failing at
the plate in pinch. I've seen many
great ball players with the jitters just
before big game or big series. I
have known great fighters who couldn't

itself.
Did you ever see college football
team arriving at a stadium before
big game? The sight of those kids
huddled in the buses, almost sick with
fear, their pale faces staring out the
windows at the crowd, always makes
me think Of the tumbrels rolling to-
ward the guillotine. I have sat with
great golfers on the eve of cham
pionship tournament and seen their
nerves rubbed raw by the dragging
hours.
Ross and McLarnin.

tn times like these has nothing to do
with bodily injury. It is the specter
OF failure and defeat-the haunting
fear that, in q crisis, the man will
strike out, fail to block punch, muff

Not all athletes are as frank as
Greenberg. But some are. Barney
