DELAY BOLSTERS
| RING ATTENDANCE
POSTPONED Sarron. .Gevinson
Bout Tonight Expected
to Attract 1900.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Buoyed attendance tonight at the
first outdoor bout of the season at
Griffith Stadium was anticipated by
Promoter Joe Turner today, with
Petey Sarron. former world feather
weight champion, and Lou Gevinson,
local lightweight hope, geared for a
hectic scrap.
Postponed from last night due to
crying clouds, the original card will
be presented intact, with the grap-
pling show scheduled at Turner's
Arena tonight being postponed until
next Thursday. Should rain again
force delay the eagerly-awaited col
lision will be staged Monday.
Rain served only to accelerate ticket
demands, with fair weather promising
turnout of some 5000 ringworms.
The reflected interest was mirrored in
an avalanche of calls to Turner's Office,
newspapers and Griffith Stadium.
Hope Lou Is Helped.
Meanwhile Gevinson supporters
cling fondly to the hope Lou has been
benefited by the postponement. Forced
to scale in under 135 pounds yester-
day, Gevinson was expected to pick
up pounds today, with no further
weighing necessitated. This, his fol-
lowers feel, will make him stronger
and more feared against the rough
Sarron.
Sarron, however, seemed calm in
contrast to Gevinson's nervous de-
meanor. Over stretch of Is years
Petey has become accustomed to post
ponements and, although disappointed
over the delay, is more likely to adj
just himself to the situation than the
youthful Southwest lad.

any foe regardless of subsequent
consequences. I know OF no dog
that is such genuine native OF
Ireland and whose origin and
history, because of his pure Irish
blood, enables him to be one
of the most fearless, gentle, al
fectionate and companionable
of pets to be found in the world.
A few years ago, for instance
there was an expedition IN
Africa where hunters were at
tempting to dislodge a lion
which had been brought to bay
in the dense underbrush Of the
African jungle, when suddenly
for no apparent reason, the king
of beasts bolted from his cover
and clamped to his tail was a
little Irish terrier.
No other breed has such a
daring eye and expression. HIS
long head, narrow width be-
tween the ears, little or no stop
to his muzzle makes him an
unusual canine Of the terrier
family.

In height at shoulder, a foot

is a terrier which should always
be sturdy and active, full OF
power and endurance, built upon
graceful and racy lines but a
dog with great animation, at all
times affectionate to his master.
Usually in color, he is bright
red with sometimes a small
patch of white on his chest
and believe him to be one Of
the most beautiful of the terrier
breeds. I respect him more,
however, for his great dignity
and self-reliance.
