Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. ia year from
now. If he doesn't happen to have an
accident like fighting Joe Louis or
Max Schmeling in the meantime,
young Jimmy Adamick is likely to be
a very potent factor in the heavyweight
ranks.
The local flstic fraternity, which was
more than a little skeptical of the
Detroit boy, passed that verdict after
watching him beat tough Harry
Thomas by fair margin in his east
ern bow last night at the Garden.
Jimmy wasn't of course, the man
eater he had been pictured by his
Well-known sponsor, Jack Kearns.
That was more than anybody expected.
But he proved himself a good, tough
scrapper, with a er-than-average
left hook and plenty heart.
Like Dempsey of Early Days.
Anyway, 1t turned out later in the
dressing room that Kearns had been
grievously misunderstood when he said

TAG ON LEEMANS
SEEN BAR TO DEAL
Only Skins Baugh or Riley
Smith Rated Enough to
Interest Giants.
BY BILL DISMER, E.

good-sized portion of the S100. 900
ne reputedly made during his first
year with the Redskins in Washington,
or the trading of one of two players
now with the team. were believed
the only means by which George Mar
shall could hope to carry out his
professed aim to acquire Tuffy Lee
mans from the New York Giants at
the annual meeting of the National
Professional Football League in Phila-
delphia today and tomorrow.
And with the Giants needing cash
as much as Roosevelt needs smiles,
the alternative of a trade seemed to
be the requisite for any deal involving
Leemans.
A trade, however, leaves the Red
skins in a most embarrassing posi-
ton. for, with the exception Of Quar-
terback Riley Smith and Slingin' Sam
Baugh, there seemed to be few others
on the Washington clubs roster whom
the Giants could use. Turk Edwards
and Erny Pinckert might loom as en-
ticing bait to any other club. but the
Giants are building with young team
and Edwards and Pinckert are the
Oldest of the Redskins.
Giants Want Too Much.
Considering that Leemans today
represents their most valuable invest
ment, with the prospect Of five or
six more years in which he can further
the reputation he already has made.
the Giants won't be prone to part
with such a player-especially by
turning him over to their greatest
rival.
Leemans undoubtedly could be OBJ
tanned for Baugh-the leagues biggest
drawing card-with sizable hunk
of New York cash, but there's as
much chance of George P. giving up
Slingin' Sam as there is of him wash
ing his clothes in the Potomac River.
The Giants also could use Smith as
signal caller, but Riley exhibited
too much brainwork in directing the
Skins to their championship to be
shunted away.
Although most of the trade talk
has centered around Leemans, Mar
shall is known to have a weakness
for Bill Hewitt, the Philadelphia
Eagles captain, great defensive end
last year. The Eagles could use any
one Of several Redskin players, and
it is possible that q trade might be
effected in that quarter. &
Marshall Offers New Plans.
Apart from his trading activities,
Marshall should keep the meeting
alive with three proposals. Because
he knows 1t not only doesn't pay, but
also tends to cheaper the sport, the
Redskins owner will move that the
championship team be allowed to play
only one post-season game. He also
will propose that Miamis bid for the
play-on game be denied and that q
team be allowed to carry ~ players
instead of IS while retaining the right
to option three others out to minor
league clubs.
Before leaving Marshall announced
that Charley Malone had become the
first Redskin to sign his 1898 contract
and that Cliff Battles, newly signed
as an assistant Coach 1t Columbia,
would play with the champions in
the annual game next September /
against the College All-stars 1T
Chicago.

Adanick Looms as Menace
To Rings Heauies After His
Convincing Win Ouer Thomas

Adamick was better than Dempsey"
Everybody thought he was referring to
the Dempsey OF Toledo. but the good
doctor Strengthened that out.
Nov wait" he said. Did you see
Dempsey when he fought Willie
Meehan? That's the Dempsey was
talking about. Jimmy's that good, if
not better"
The Associated Press scored seven
rounds for Adamick and three for
Thomas. with Thomas dropping one
heat because Of low blow. The de-
cision of the three officials was unani-
nous.
The high spot of the meeting for the
scanty crowd of 5000 came in the
closing round, when the battered
Thomas, appearing ripe for knockout,
suddenly lashed out with a right that
caught Adamic flush on the jaw and
sent the overconfident youngster reel
ing.
Thomas Makes Game Rally.
Thomas poured on the leather, and
the critics found that Adamick could
take it. Thomas let him have both
barrels, right on the old button, as the
Detroit kid floundered about. The
crowd roared for knockout. But
Jimmy weathered it and came back
punching. Thomas kept the upper
hand right to the final bell, though.
and his comeback had been so game
that the decision was booed.
Thomas came out of it with an egg
over his right eye and a conviction that
Adamick can't hit in the same league
with Schmeling. He recalls vividly the
Schmeling right that put him down
eight times in the same ring.
