The clouting cavalcade moves on
Gotham. Joe Louis, the heavy
weight champion Of the world, ar
rived today, tiny Henry Armstrong
having beaten him into town by
"a hours.
Joe will leave at once for Lafay-

met Max Schmeling. 1t was at a
little cottage high in the Adiron,

the German which ended so dis.
astrously. With no fear of the
ink, Joe is returning there for an,
other start, which brings him back
here in June to face the German
again.
Armstrong came right through

his brother, Harry, and their
wives. The featherweight cham

completed, it will be possible for
every spectator to have a clear

board of directors decided yeSter-
day to postpone this improvement

Chester F. Hockey, a director
of the Maryland Jockey Club and

the hump" in the infield will
interfere with steeplechase racing.
while we were reluctant to
discontinue steeplechasing, even
for a short time, it is necessary
to do so. AS soon as it is prac-

fund-raising battle cry, for indi-
cations are that it may be "On
to Helsingfors!" or "On to Los
Angeles!" instead Of "On to
Tokyo!"
It is doubtful that there will
be an Olympiad in Japan in
1910 as scheduled. Indeed, the
Kanagawa Athletic Association,
ruling body of sports in Japan,
already has gone on record as
favoring abandonment Of plans
for the Nipponese Olympiad.
PLAN FOR OLYMPICS
Sports writer's Of Japan, too,
have taken the attitude that it
is quite unpariotic even to think
Of Olympic Games at this time
when all Japan primarily is
interested with the prosecution
of the war against China.
Japan's corps of foreign diplo-
mats has indicated that Japan's
glorious armies fully expect to
clean up their chores in China
by the end of 1888, or by the
middle Of 1899 at the latest, and
that the Olympic games will
be staged as scheduled.
Japanese cavalry officers, who
hoped fervently to hog the spot
light in the 1910 Olympiad, have
given up all practice of sport
maneuvers. Baron NiShi, Jap
cavalry officer who took the
jumping event at Los Angeles,
has been quoted to the effect
that a year to a year and half
is time sufficient for him to
prepare to defend his laurels at
Toxic. The baron is on active
service with the Japanese armies
in the field and has given up
training for the Olympiad OF
1910.
AMPLE TIME
On the other side, japanese
Olympic officials have come
forth with the mild suggestion
that it would be unbecoming to
abandon plans for the 1910
Olympiad, but they are quick to
add that Japan will have accom-
plished it's purposes in China
long ere time for the 1910 games
and Jap athletes will have plenty
of time in which to condition
The Washington times., 1938-01-07

ties of track and field scheduled
for Tokyo.
Those who insist the 1910
Olympiad will be held in Tokyo
as scheduled, point out that
the 1920 Olympics, held at Ant.
werp in 1920, were organized
quite successfully even though
the BelgianS had been through
four years of bitter warfare and
had only one year in which to
prepare for the Antwerp games.
They also offer the explanation
that, If the Japanese national
idea Of a speedy accomplish.
ment Of Jap aims in China is
correct, then japanese athletes
will have ample time in which
to prepare for the 1910 Olym-
piad.
MEETING IN MARCH
If the Jap army, or military
party, which very definitely de-
cideS so many of it's nations
problems, says the word and
the Olympiad is abandoned,
more than likely the Olympic
games of 1910 will go to Helsing-
fors. The question of where the
games will go, if they are aball-
doned by Japan, will be decided
in March at meeting of the
international Olympic commit
tee to be held at Cairo, Egypt.
Although most Olympic eX-
perts agree that the 1910 Olym-
piad will go to Finland if Japan
abandonS the games, California
weighs-in with the thought that
it may come to pass in March
of 1888 that Los Angeles will be
given the 1910 Olympiad. Mark
Kelly, than whom there is no
whomer on the Coast, explains
that, under existing conditions,
he doubts that anything quite
so peaceful and brother love-like
as an Olympiad will go to a bel
ligerent nation. Mark adds that
Los Angeles may get the 1910
Olympiad.
In any event, the A. o. A.
fully expects to raise some $780,
900, without resort to a public
appeal for funds. That's start
ing the New Year in optimistic
fashion!

The first I ever read of a
golden age in sports was in a
magazine piece by Gene Tunney,

Gene discovered that the golden

which he was fighter. Wasn't
that lucky?

Tunney is my friend. I can
recall going around saying that
he was a great fighter and fine
fellow, when a lot of folks were
saying to the contrary. We
won't mention any names, but
these other folks were saying
that he was a pseudo-highbroW

either.

Break the celophane on your
fishing equipment, anglers, while
you lend an attentive ear to this
startling bit of news.
Crappies, those pugnac ciou S
members of the sunfish family,
tipping the scale from half pound
to a pound and a half, are frol-
licking in large numbers in the
invigorating waters of Gunston
Cove, Father Potomac's favorite
Virginia fresh water bass fishing
spot.
Saturday afternoon despite the
rain three local Ike Waltons rowed
back to shore and exhibited a
nifty string of some thirty of the
delectable morsels to envious
friends and bystanders.
ADDS TO TASTINESS
And were they savory, especial
ly with the added knowledge that
this is supposed to be an off sea-
son for finsterS.
Early last week another angler
enticed three bass out of the
chilly drink.
However, here's the fly in the
ointment. All those fishing in
Gunston Cove must have licenses,
and you can't get away without
one because game wardens are
itching for work.
A few catfish are being caught
up around Fletcher's, and other
Georgetown river points, but not
enough of them to get overly ex-
cited about.

right with me, Tex was. But
wh.n they say never another
promoter like Tex, I'm laugh
ing. To begin with, Mike JACOBS
was at his elbow all the time,
debating every move from a
business st ndpoi1t,
AS a business man RickarU
was child. Colorf !, yes.
G IN bier, yes in spades.
Lucky, yes. You said it, sugar.
Lucky as they come.
But don't ever believe Rickard
thought up a lot of the most
successful moves he made in MS
spectacular career. He got
uriven into most of EN-.
So don't give me any golden
age of fistiana, as Joe Humph-
reys would have called ii, un-
less you also add that it was
the age in which mobS con-
trolled all the fighters in the
country, or practically all, miss
ing only those who refused
waiver when somebody came
along and stuck a gun in their
ribs.
Combinations such as Pop
Foster and Jimmy McLarnin,
who for all their chiselling
about weight and sometimes
over-frugal financial policy,
flatly refused to play that kind
of ball. And never played it to
the end.
HOW MANY MORE?
Just how many other fighters
were there around in the
golden age" of whom that
could be said?
No, Rickard, unusual and en-
tertaining old guy that he was,
was a great promoter because
he stumbled into it at the right
moment. At the moment when
a fabulously wealthy country
was almost ready to believe
that money really did grow on
trees. Because he fit his time.
Which the wise men say, is the
answer to most success stories.
But, they say. it was all so
colorful and quaint in the good
old days. Well, if they like to
believe that Chuck Virgins, out
of Indianapolis, was more color
full than the aforementioned Ga
lento, its okay. Chuck got into
the clink more often, if that's
the criterion of quaintneSs.
1 don't go in effusively for
quaint characters myself. But
the cold truth, and draft beer,
probably is that Sullivan in his
hey-day likely wasn't greatly diff
ferent from the Newark night
stick.
Of course, he was a better
fighter. He also lived in diff
ferent time and drank red Whis-
key instead of beer, and there
you are, my heartieS.
BETTER WAIT AND SEE
They can also contend that
Tilden was a greater tennis play
er than Don Bulge ever will be.
though it might be fairer to wait
until Bulge is through and see.
And as for golf, when did that
game ever produce a more re-
markable figure than one John
Montague, whether he can or
can't golf and I'm sure I don't
know?
Now let me tell you what
really happens. When the boys
get busy at other jobs they for
get that folks are still fighting
their way into ball parks. That's
because they aren't there fight
ing their way in. It's human
nature.
There was no golden age of
sports.
But keep punching at that
typewriter, Paul!
