epic journey across Russia after the

Although some dispatches describe
him as o-Russian. American officers

Maj. Gen. William S. Graves, now

ABRAMS IS WARY
OF YAROSz'S SOCK
D. c. Middle Will Depend on
Speed to Beat Former
World Champion.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

The attack Of George Abrams will
be. .geared for sheer srsed Monday
night at Griffith Stadiun when he
collides with Teddy Yt5 sz, former
world middleweight cha, oion, in a
l0-round bout. for it tala j no expert
shopping to discover Teddy is no rab-
bit afoot.
Yarosz, Polish-An -ican and
rugged specimen above th knees, still
is favoring a trick right nee which
twice ha. been carved a ! on that
flaw in his physical equipm- 1T Abrams
will attempt to capitalize. OF neces-
sity there is no spring or bounce in
Teddy's legs, but his inability to ma
neuver rapidly apparently is Abrams
only edge.
The fkeable Yarosz, who will be IS
years old June "a. is not the delicate
puncher Abrams has been led to be-
lieve, for the square-jawed veteran
carries an emphatic left that inf1icts
considerable damage. If his workout
yesterday at Turner's Arena is any
criterion. however. his right hand re-
sembles so much excess baggage.
Cautious About Knee.
Cautious lest that right knee pop
out of position, Yarosz treads about
the ring fat-footed and slowly, but
there is nothing apologetic about his
style once he locates his target. Still,
speed and a fair share of crisp punch
ing should whittle him down to
Abrams size. George naturally is
hopelessly outclassed by the former
champion so far as cleverness and
ring generalship are concerned.
That eccentric right knee has Great
ed considerable trouble for Yarosz
since he lost to Babe Risko more than
three years ago when it collapsed
Torn ligaments and cartileges forced
two operations, but Yarosz gamely has
fought his way back to the eighth
ranking spot among the worlds mid
dleweights and now is after Freddie
Steele, ruler of the 160-pound division,
for title bout next month at Pitts
burgh.
Abrams Chance to Rise.
Harry Raskin, one of ringdon's bet
ter trainers, freely predicts Abrams,
with youth and stamina on his side,
will whip the aging Yarosz, but Ray
Arcel, Teddy's trainer, feels the Polish
puncher will win easily. IF Abrams
can lick this guy" says Ray, then
he's on his way toward being a great
fighter"
Abrams meanwhile is sharpening his
attack, with films of the Yarosz-Risko
scrap still running through his mind.
George saw a movie of that bout four
times, twice in slow motion, and feels
he Is acquainted with Teddy's style.
