He Fight for Crown
In Two Years, Says
PAT Comiskey
Youngster, With Wins
In Row, Hard ot Work
Attaining Polish
By the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Patrick Ed
ward Comiskey is as Irish as Paddy's
pig but there are no leprechauns in
his corner. Instead, Bill DAILY, a
bland, cigar smoking 1rishman,
guides his career through the tor
tured politics of Tin Ear Alley and
battle-scarred Johnny Lane teaches
him the lore of the ring.
Right now they are more impor-
tant to Patrick than Joe Louis. He
still is learning; learning how to
hook and jab with his left hand
learning how to punch to the body
learning the thousand and one
tricks Of the trade. Outside the
ring he must learn the dress, speech
and general department of a young
man with a million dollar tag on his
right hand and a most promising
future.
Looks Two Years Ahead.
I'm two years." he assures you
earnestly, "1ll be fighting Joe Louis
or whoever is champion for the
title"
DAILY grinned. Talks right, doesn't t
he?" he asked. He fights right,
too. He's coming along. Eleven
straight fights and II wins, 10 by
knockouts. He's still got lot to
learn but he's ready learner"
Each day Pat goes three rounds
in the gym. Most of the time his
opposition is a stablemate, Maurice
Strickland, a big New Zealander.
Gets Lots of Work.
He learns as he goes along, some
times because he has to. Strickland
has a corking left jab, so this kid
started jabbing in self-defense.
Then Comiskey gets out of the
ring and in front of the mirror. For
IL minutes he shadow boxes as Lane
and Strickland look on. He jabs, he
hooks, he crosses his Sunday punch,
the right, until his arms grow heavy.
Then they put him on the big bag
and he works on that.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Threat-
ened by q sudden return to form
OF Gene Venzke, his oldest rival,
Glenn Cunningham cut loose his
famous "kick" In the last half lap
to win the Baxter mile of the New
York A. G. games in 4 minutes 1875
seconds tonight before a crowd of
$4,000 in Madison Square Garden.
The veteran from Peabody, Kans.,
IN chalking up his third straight
triumph in this particular event
and his 10th victory in succession,
was eight yards in front of another
Kansan, Archie San Romani, when
he hit the tape. Venzke, who had
come up from last place to take
over the pace-setting with three
laps to go, placed third, followed
by Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin and
Josef Mostert of Belgium.
Cunnlnghams victory gave him
outright possession of the Baxter
Trophy. He ran in typical fashion,
hanging irs second place from t&
start. first behind Fenske, who faded
badly in the last quarter, and then
behind Venzke.
Too Fast for Venzke.
The latter, most popular of all
mllers with the crowd, stepped up
the pace considerably when he look
over the lead. He was running so
smoothly that the customers began
cheering him frantically in the
hope that the monotonous string
OF Cunningham successes finally
would be broken. But Glenn, de-
laying his sprint until he hit the
back stretch of the last lap, was
obviously In command Of the sit
uation. He tore past Venzke before
they reached the final turn. and
came out Of 1t into the back stretch
and on to the tape with one blind
Ing, climatic burst.
San Romani, who had alternated
between third and fourth most of
the way, pulled up with fine finish
OF his own to be runner-up.
The fractional times were: At
the quarter, Fenske. 64.8: at the
half, Fenske. 2:10.4; at the three
quarters, Venzke, 3:13.3.
Smooth-striding John Borican,
making his first start of the season
at standard championship dis
stance, eased his way to victory in
the Matt Halpin half-mile.
Close for Borican.
Beaten only twice in eight races
this winter, the Negro ace from the
Shore A. c., Elberon, N. j., was
