HIS RING NEMESIS
Twice Defeated by Abrams,
Brings New WaIIop to
Third Contest.
By BURTON HAWKINS.

A feud that f1ared in amateur ranks
and continues to thrive in professional
circles will reach an interesting climax
August IS at Griffith Stadium when
George Abrams will throw his fists at
the concrete chin of Steve Mamakos
in a strictly local 10-round bout CAL
culated to capture the imagination and
money of the Districts fstic populace,
Mamakos, Greek youngster with
an amazing ability to soak up punches
has fought the 19-year-old Abrams
once for the fun of it and again for
cash and still is seeking victory. His
recent marked improvement, however
has altered the situation.
Weight Difference Is Slight.
While Abrams is legitimate middle
weight and Mamakos at his best as a
welterweight, the difference in pound
age will be slight. Abrams has agreed
to trim down to 154 pounds. while
Steve probably will weight about $50
pounds.
The local products are heated rivals

himself into something bordering on
ecstasy when Steve unraveled the neat

Ivan Nedomatsky. wildly cheering the
much-muscled boy he twice has
trounced. Then, after being irked by
doubling ringsiders as to his ability to
whip Mamakos again, George told
Manager Sgd Fishel to obtain re-
match repeating the request to Match
maker Goldie Ahearn for emphasis.
Steve's Popularity Grows.
Mamakos, while lacking the luster
OF Abrams ninth ranking position In
the middleweight division, is the bait
for Turing spectators, for Georges
methodical tactics hardly figure to en-
tice sizable crowds until he starts
meeting more authoritative punchers
Steve's durability. plus definite
signs he is developing as a puncher,
has endeared him to local ringworms.
Nedomatsky, pile-driving hitter
landed frequently on Steve's jaw early
In their engagement, but Mamakos
only staggered, recovered rapidly and
bored in to smother the ex-collegian.
Defeated only once in % engage
ments. Abrams recently returned from
a jaunt to the Pacific Coast and is
eager for action. Most observers feeI
he will get all he can handle in his
third collision with the improved

only the best golfers.
Would it be better to have a quail

Tom Belshe, former Government

one Of the better golfers of the War

deadlocked for the lead in the tourney.
Great Interest in Tourney.
NO" they chorused. 1T would be
useless to do that because it wouldn't
mean anything. We know the best

would be that much more of a time

But this tournament has aroused
more interest among the boys here in
the Government service than any golf
affair ever held around this town."
said Belshe. 1T is fine and we hope
The Star can put it on again next
year with a longer schedule and more
teams. Naturally We feel pretty good
about our team and maybe we can
win. But whether we win or not, our
golfers are all steamed up about it,"
That's the way 1t is everywhere you
go among the several thousand golfers
in Uncle Sans employ. The Federal
League tournament at medal play in
June produced a team champion in
the quartet from the General Account

will turn out a constantly skillful

No team that happens to be hot one

That's the beauty of the tournament

It seems that a Chicago broker,

and bonded acreage, that he would
shoot 144 holes of golf without exceed

Made Fat Living PIoyine
Golf With Rich Suckers.

Titanic played poker just to dem
onstrate that an outdoor athlete can
shine at indoor sports as we'll. He
was an outdoor man, fundamentally,
and perhaps he still is. though the
police of many American cities have
tried to change his standing. Next
to rainy day, there is nothing like a
cop for keeping man indoors.
Titanic's best game was golf. Until
the constabulary began to chevy him,
Mr.. Thompson made comfortable
living off the wealthy golfing suckers of
Hot Springs and Greater New York.
His game was just as good as he
wanted it to be. Rich amateurs,
watching Titanic practice off the tee
and learning that he was fellow who
liked to bet, fairly cried to get at this
awkward-looking palooka. Besides, Mr..
Thompson was a left-handed golfer,
and there is something about left
handed golfer which excites the con-
tempt of the worst of right-handed
buffers.
The offer of j. Smith Ferebee of
Chicago-that he could shoot eight full
rounds in day never exceeding 95
strokes-is the kind of thing that Mr.
Thompson would like to get his teeth
into, because he is a profound student
