Appears Chip Off Old
Block in Dropping
Close Fight
Boys Fondness for Ring
Sport Causes Fother
To Back Him Up
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The son that
Jack Britton never intended raising
to become fighter aspires to win
the middleweight championship of
the world
The youngster is Bobby Britton,
21-year-old welterweight. His dad
twice won the world welterweight
championship and fought with
amazing success for rs years, which
is quite a span for such a rugged
profession as boxing.
Old Jack Britton S intentions for
his son were the best but the
youngster decided, at the tender age
Of 13, to fight for the fun of it just
as his dad in. starting as an alley
fighter in Chicago more than IS
years ago. The ring career of his
son started in Miami, Fla, now the
home of the Britton family, while
his dad was absent from the city.
Pleases Fans Though Loser.
Young Britton was presented be-
fore a critical crowd of his dads
admirers at the Marigold Garden
last night and dropped close 10
round decision to Milt Aron, fight
ing son of a Dubuque, Iowa, rabbi.
Young Britton was f1oored by a
right-hand smash to the chin in the
second round for count of nine
but gamely got up, just as his father
had done many time, carried the
fight to his opponent and won the
praise of the crowd
The oldtimers nodded their heads,
declaring the youngster has all of
his dads famous fighting skill, his
crafty left hand, his ability to roll
with punches and the all-important
courage.
Old Jack, teaching his son the
tricks of the game, doesn't boast
that he will become a great fighter,
but he has hopes. He says the
youngster is fairly good puncher, a
capable boxer and is game to the
core.
Really Fond of Fighting.
The boy likes the sport and
that's the only reason I'm backing
him up" the elder Britton said. He
has had about 10 bouts since he
turned professional three years ago.
I believe he is the youngest boy in
the game to start boxing. He was
just two months past 13 when some
of the boys down in Miami, learning
that he was my son, induced him to
box four-rounder. I made him
quit when found it out, but he was
soon at it again, stronger than
ever"
The youngster is a dead ringer
for his dad, in features and build.
He scales 146 pounds and is growing
rapidly.
The father won the welterweight
championship in 1915, lost it in 1917
to Ted kid" Lewis of England, re-
gained it from Lewis in 1919 and
retained it until 1922, when Mickey
Walker knocked the crown off his
head.

Wokemon, Irwin Again
To Serve Redskins

Two old Washington Redskin
standbys, a radio announcer and
player, were signed up for another
seasons service today.
The Redskin Office announced
that Tony Wakeman, who has
broadcast all the Indians games
since they moved here in 1887,
again will be at the mike next fall,
while Don Irwin, the old' Colgate
fullback, has attached his signature

GoIento Merely Is Nail
Of Hammer, Nail Fioht

In short, this is the tip that I must
hand out If I wish to avoid deluding
you:
Don't go close to the Louis-Ga-
lento bout if you expect to see a
fight. Don't listen to it on the radio
II you expect to hear fight. If
you're curious, and in search of en-
tertainment, as I am, listen to it,
or see it. 1t will be short. Maybe
1t will be interesting.
A lot of guff will be circulated
about this current battle of the CEN
tury between now and the night it
takes place. Don't believe anything
you read, if it gives you the impress
sion that the fight will be close.
1t will be valid, because Louis
means to take no chances and waste
no time. But it won't be close. 1t
won't be a Dempsey -Firpo fight.
The heat of the moment has a
tremendous effect upon us fight
writer's. We get feverish, because
we have nothing else to do, and be-
cause any sort Of training camp
supplies legitimate color, and we
have to write about something.
Galento is quite a character. His
preparations will have to be re-
ported. But before we go any far
ther, remember this-the fight is
strictly a question OF the hammer
and the nail, and Tony Galento is
the nail.

1874 Fans Per Game
Are Paying TO See
Dodgers Play

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Though
they are not exactly in a life and
death struggle for first place in the
National League, the Brooklyn
Dodgers are doing very nicely at the
gate
Including last Sundays double
header, the club has drawn 316,054
paid admissions for % games-or an
average of 1874.
If the present average is main
tained for the season the total for
the year would exceed 1000, 900 paid
admissions. The club has reached
that figure only once in its history
in 1880 when the Dodgers were a
pennant contender all season and
only lost out to the Cards in the
closing days.
Last year the Dodgers played to
100000 at home, compared to 49,
600 in 1897.

stock in sickness Of the two types
Of animals are similar, dogs require
one ingredient without which the
other animals seem to fare very we'll.
Dogs must have affection.
No animal may be raised success
fully in captivity without a certain
amount of affectionate care, but In
the case of other animals this affec-
ton may be an abstract quality
thinly spread over a whole ranch.
In raising dogs, however, the affec-
ton must be intensified and must
be individualized.
Each dog in a kennel, and
certainly each dog in = home,
must have his own share Of
affection and attention, his
own special master or mistress.
No matter how carefully fed,
groomed and housed, dog that does
not have an individual stake in his
owners or handlers heart will not
thrive.
He may possibly be in good flesh
and coat, although even this is not
likely, but he will lack spirit, lack
the sparkle in his eye and the re-
sponsiveness of action and demeanor
that make of him an individual and
a personality, rather than another
four-legged, fur bearing animal.

GoIento Just Another
PuIooku to Louis
By JOHN LARDNER,

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, June 6 N.ANA0.-
It was pretty humiliating for Tony
dalento, up in the ring, the night
Lou Nova fought Max Baer.
For several weeks Galento had
been calling Joe Louis bum and
threatening to kick Joseph's brains
out in the first round of their COM
ing tight. On the night Of the Baer-
Nova fight, Galento and Louis were
both called up to take a bow be-
fore the crowd. They stood together
In the middle OF the ring, and right
then and there Antonio must have
decided to protect his carcass to the
best Of his ability.
He shook Joe's hand some seven
times, and, when they returned to
their ringside seats, he fawned upon
the champion of the world with no
little lack of dignity.

BoIIyhoo Is Burned Up
By Fownina GoIento

Tony kicked away the myth that
he hates Joe's intestines, and has no
fear of the dark destroyer. He
ruined the story so painstakingly
developed by the promoter of the
next title fight on June %. Tony
was so refined, genteel and in
gratiating. the first time he saw
Louis, that he burned up the immi-
nent ballyhoo as swiftly and surely
as he did the cigar he clamped
between his teeth that night.
Your correspondent does not wish
to be muckraker or belittler, but
here is a warning which you deserve
to have delivered at your door:
The -Galento fight, for the
heavyweight championship of the
world, is OF no more consequence
than the Louis-Roper fight, or the
Louis-Lewis fight, or the dozen
fights that Louis fought with such
hand-picked stooges as Matte Brown,
Charley Retzlaff, Eddie Simms and
George Brescia.
Brown, Retzlaf1, Simms and
Brescia would all have given Ga
lento trouble had they fought him
squarely and without rehearsal, as
man to man. Galento belongs in
their class. He will be beaten by
Louis as surely as they were.

"A couple of buns up there, hey,

YEAH" said Joseph Louis.

YEAH" said the champion.
"You and me are in class above

fellas up there are buns. Lemme
alone for while, will you? I want
to watch this. Maybe I'll see you
again before We fight, and then you
can talk to me all you want to. Now
60 away"
And there, in front of several
dozen witnesses, Anthony Galento
exploded the carefully cultivated
legend that he is Louis's sworn foe,
asking nothing better than to bust
the champion in the nose the first
time he sees him, rules or no rules

A number of projects al

workers would be used to give
jobs to others.
