Flying white-rimmed discs will

grounds off Bradley Boulevard
this Saturday and Sunday. More
than 200 entries are expected to
compete in the North-South Skeet
Championship, which is topped in
national importance only by the
Eastern at Bridgeport, Conn, and
the National at Tulsa, Okla.
Curly-headed Frank Kelly, of
West Orange, N. j., will be there
Sunday morning early to defend
his title as individual au-gauge
champion. In 1884 he took the
tall silver trophy with a score of
98X100. Last year he won it again
with score which lacked only one
bird of being perfect. Mr.. Kelly
is captain of the All-American
Skeet Team and the worlds out
standing skeet shot.
Other contenders for the indi-
vidual trophy will be Charlie Gill
lette, of Baltimore, 1885 winner
with perfect score; 1885 winner,
Harry Green, of Morristown, N. j.,

YAROSz TO BOX
STEELE IF HE.
BEATS ABRAMS
BY BOB ADDIE

George Abrams will have more
at stake than his purse when he
tangles with Teddy Yarosz, for.
mer middleweight champion, at
Griffith Stadium next Monday
night. Word was received from
Pittsburgh today that Yarosz vir,
tually is signed to meet Champion
Freddie Steele in a title bout there
later this summer, if he beats
Abrams.
1t is because of his negotiations
with Steele that YaroSz delayed
his arrival in Washington. Teddy
was scheduled to take his first
public workout at Turner's Arena
this afternoon but the Steele con-
fab will hold him up a few hours
and he won't arrive here until to-
night. Yarosz will go through his
workout tomorrow afternoon in
stead.
CHANCE FOR TITLE
However, the new turn in events
means Agrams has an excellent
chance to push his way right into
the top rank of middleWeightS
should he defeat Yarosz. The
bout is the most important in the
l9-year-old District boys career
and one that may decide his en-
tire future.
What is remarkable is the fact
that Abrams has taken such a
tough opponent considering his
lack OF ring experience. Georges
career. IN a way, is coming of
age" next Monday because it will
be his twenty-first fight. The road
to fame will be only hitch-hike
to George if he can get past
Yarosz. Abrams probably is one
OF the youngest boxers ever to
light a ranking boxer. No other
youngster in the ring game has
had such stiff opposition in the
embryonic stage of his career.
OFFER FROM LEW
The tipoff on Abrams ability
is the bona-fide offer of $4,000
made by Lew Tender to Georges
manager, Sid Fishel, yesterday.
Lew is an excellent judge of fight
ing flesh and believes Abrams is a
coming champion. The offer is
noteworthy because Tender long
ago severed all connection with
the fight business after retiring
as one of the greatest hghtweightS
of the twenties.
Tender told us only a few weeks
ago that only a wonderful
prospect" would induce him to re-
enter the business that brought
him fame and fortune. Evidently,
Lew thinks he has the product in
Abrams.
