Held idle last night because OF a
mild atmospheric disturbance known

Abrams, District challenger for the
middleWeight title. and Lou Brouil-
lard, happy-go- lucky athlete who
has been where George hopes to 60,
are scheduled to meet tonight at
Griffith Stadium in 10-round bout.
Preliminaries were disposed with
yesterday. Brouillard, as healthy as
one of those "you-can- have ply
sique-like-mine" ads, registered 1879
pounds when deposited on the scales
by Inspector Billy Blake. He looked
like Scale-model heavyweight with
all modern improvements, and was
not to be bullied by Mr.. Blake, who,
in turn. is not to be trifled with.
LOUIS condition brought a moan
from Chris Dundee, Abrams New
York agent and a shrewd gentleman.

George stepped on the scales and
Mr.. Blake had to edge the marker
over to an even 160 pounds before
1t dropped. Abrams also appeared
fit. He was quiet. apparently un-
moved by Dundee's hysterical out
burst, and confident of beating his
left-hand opponent.
Georges attitude evidently re-
stored Dundee to normal-or maybe
it touched him off little more, for
in few minutes he was frantically

Young Horses Delicate.
young horses are more delicate
than human beings" Jones said.
They don't have so many adolescent
ailments, but they demand as much
attention.
THE principal worry is at foaling
time. An attendant must be with
the mare for at least "a hours and
sometimes it is necessary to call in
veterinarian. The diet OF the mare
must be watched closely and we
must also look out for epidemics,
such as paralysis, which claimed so
many young ones several years
back"
The real hazard Of breeding, says
Jones, is getting too many fillies.
He is having that trouble this year.
Early Cost Is Heavy.

PITTSBURGH, June 2O.-Match-
maker Larry Atkins of st. Louis has
hopes of delaying. at least tenn

After the National Boxing Associa- =

Break up Washington's tennis
team!"
If cities in the Middle Atlantic
section take hint from seven cities
in the American League that might
well be their pre-series battle-cry
before 1940's Hotchkiss Cup matches
roll around.
For six consecutive years now
Washington has won the four-city
competition with practically the
same trouble the Yankees have had
in winning the American League
pennant. Occasionally, seriously con-
cerned lest interest be lost in the
matches due to Washingtons de-
cided superiority, Capt Dooly Mitch
ell has played netmen who are not
even ranked locally. But to no
avail. Washington still winning with
plenty to spare.
District Records Cleans.
Not since such racketers as Barney
Welsh, Hugh Lynch, Mitchell, Tony
Latona and the like joined a country
club several years ago and thus
became eligible for Hotchkiss Cup
play has Washington lost the an
nual series. What's more, it hasn't
even been extended, for this OBJ
server can't recall when the margin
of victories was less than three
matches.
A quick glance at Middle Atlantic
rankings may cast some light on
the reason for Washingtons clean
cut advantages. OF IS players ranked
in this section. six are from the
Capital and only five others come
from the three other Hotchkiss Cup
cities combined Four are from Bal
timore, but only two are country
club members, and the fifth is from
Richmond.
Perhaps Alfonso Smith. who
moved to Washington from Char
lottesville last year, should have
chosen Richmond, or Norfolk or
Baltimore. At least they would
have appreciated it when Hotchkiss

The LeBlanche case. however. was
the croWning upset Of them all. A
bewhiSkered marine. he was obliged
to jump overheard and swim ashore
to avoid anxious shipmates who
wanted him saved the punishment
Dempsey was sure to inflict. The
fight was staged in a new. and at
that time modern gym, and Demp-
sey had been obtained to help cele-
brate the occasion.
Dempsey was cool. scientific
fighter, while LeBlanche's hopes of
winning were vested solely in a po-
tent right. A knockout was his
only hope.
They fought viciously
throughout the entire fight. for
George took a good punch,
and Dempsey was cagey
enough to avoid serious dam
age.
LeBlanche was staggered in the
18th, and knocked down in the 18th
round by smoking rights to the
head, but survived these blows and
kept coming In the 32nd. Dempsey
bounced right of LeBlanches Jaw
and staggered him. At last Jack
thought his prey ready for the fin
ishing punch. He feinted. drove a
left to the head and followed with
a right-and the next instant was
on the floor, out cold.
LeBlanche, carefully awaiting an
opportunity to land his vaunted
right, saw the opening as Dempsey
let 60 with his right and exploded
knockout right on the nonpareil's
whiskers. The fight was over.
Tony's Chances Are Slim.
Anything can happen the night
of June 28-Galento might not even
show up for the fight. Tony might
land his left and fatten Louis. The
champion could break his hand. or
cut and eye, or suffer one of a
thousand mishaps that can deter
mine the course of any fight, but
nothing out of the ordinary is likely
to occur.
In the first place, the diff
ference between Tony and
Louis is more pronounced than
it was in men mentioned
above.
Against a man nearly his own
caliber Galento might make 1t
mighty interesting, but he doesn't
seem to be in Louis class, and we
still look for him to get belted out.

The Punch Line

Old timers who insist Tony Gal
ento has a chance to whip Joe Louis
for the world heavyweight cham
pionship are not rushing into print
merely to poo-bah opinions of a
younger generation, but with
few solid facts in support of their
case.
They take delight in pointing
to Jim Braddock's wholly un-
dreamed of victory over Max Baer.
To Max Schmeling's 12-round
Knockout of Louis in their first
encounter, and if this fails to re-
tard the outpouring of predictions
concerning Galento's impending
fate they delve more deeply into the
records.
They built their case on three
notable instances Of upsets: The
original Young Corbett's two knock
out victories over Terry McGovern
for the featherweight title; Jim
Jeffries' 20-round decision over Tom
Sharkey; and George La Blanches
32-round knockout of the non
pareil.
Well take them in order, and
then try to knock them down
rs affectively As the ringmen
Of that era chilled one an
other.
Corbett crossed the continent and
went to Hartford, Conn, for his
first shot at McGovern. The bout
crossed SIP 00O-a tremendous pay
on for the l26-pound title, and went
two furious rounds that saw both
on the floor at one time or an
other.
Left Uppercut Decides.
A left uppercut sent McGovern
to the floor in the second round
after a savage exchange of leather.
He took five and came up swinging.
and Corbett was swinging right
back at him-the pair OF them toss
ing caution to the winds. Nc
Govern landed right hook that
plummeted Corbett to the floor.
but he was up without a count.
McGovern finally lost his head COM
pletely and Corbett slammed a left
to the stomach, crossed a right to
the jaw, and the bout was over.
Two years later, the crowd, vet
unwilling to believe Corbett was
McGovern's superior, made the
latter 1913 favorite in the betting,
and the Californian crammed those
odds right down the sporting public's
throat with a 1-round Knockout.
Sharkey, the Make Baer of his
day, enjoyed himself thoroughly in
the earlier rounds of his bout with
Jef1ries, the awkward boilermaker.
Sharkey's style was \ rush in
with bull-like charges, half
butt and half hit, then clinch.
