LoureIs With Guordsmen as
Moimone OutsIugs Dunn

Chubby Charley Maimone, a quiet,
raven-haired youngster with fight
ing heart as big as the seat of his
britches, is Southeast Washington S
hero today. and no one more richly
deserves the honors heaped on his
modest shoulders.
Maimone's gallant uphill battle
against Roy Dunn in the finals of
the 1lth annual District A. A. U.
boxing championships enabled Po-
lice Boys Club No to slip into
tie with the National Guard team
for the senior championship. 1t was
the second time Matt Twomey's
troopers tied for the crown. They
ran dead heat with Fort Myer last
year. But for Charley's efforts, the
Guards would have won the title
outright last night.
MaimOne Comes Back.
Malmone pulled his weary frame
off the carpet in the second round of
the bout to carry the fight to Dunn,
one of the Guards best ringmen
and his furious assault brought the
crowd to its feet and kept it there
until the final bell. Charley went
down for 9 count. Charley went

but he almost put Roy away after

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-For the

League President Carl L. Storck an
nounced today.
More than a million and half
spectators turned out for SIS regular

gagged.
Increase of 1913 Per Cent.
The total of 1,312,611 was an in

years 1168,225. In addition. home
game records were set at Detroit,
Washington, Brooklyn, Cleveland,
Green Bay and Milwaukee, where
the champion Green Bay Packers
played several games.
New York's biggest crowd, 62,543
for the final game against the
Washington Redskins, which de-
cided the Eastern title, was sur
passed in league history only by
the $1,000 who saw the Giants
Chicago Bears game in 1925, when
Red Grange made his pro debut.
The 32,279 at the Giants-Green Bay

Dudas Def|ates
White Hope
Coniskey
Pat Just q Promising
Kid After Defeat
By Trial Horse
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec 16.-These are
hard times for the Nations white
hopes"
First, Lou Nova got himself
knocked out by Tony Galento. And
last night the fabulous Patrick Ed
ward Comiskey of Paterson, N. j.,
was plastered by Steve Dudas,
never-was, before an incredulous
crowd in Madison Square Garden.
Pat is the golden-haired boy who
up to last evening, had knocked out
% OF "a opponents and was being
heralded the champion of 194l."
His manager practically had accept
ed an elimination bout with Lou
Nova for next March.
Now, and probably for his own
eventual good, Comiskey has been
revealed for what he actually is-a
promising 19-year-old heavyweight
with fine right hand and lots to
learn.
Dudas Surprisingly Good.
Dudas, who rates only as a tough
trial horse. gave surprisingly good
performance in winning his decision.
The crowd fully expected him to
prove another easy victim for the
wonder boy, but instead of living up
to the script, he fought as if a title
was at stake. He even got up and
came back battling after Comiskey's
short right sat him down for a nine
count in the fourth. That was the
only knockdown.
Comiskey bled freely from the
nose and mouth after the second
round. Pat didn't know what to do
about hitting Dudas. The veteran,
for the most part, eluded Comiskey's
explosive right. and Pat simply
didn't have left. Pats handlers
later said both his fists were dam
aged early in the scrap.
The nights program, billed as a
sort of jamboree of future cham
pions,' was somewhat more success
full otherwise. Lew Jenkins,
lightweight from Sweetwater, Tex,
looked like hot morsel in knocking
out Billy Marquart of Canada in
the third round, and Al Davis Of
Brooklyn took another important
stride toward the welter crown by
paralyzing Tippy Larkin of Garfield,
N j., with left to the belly in the
fifth.
Jenkins Captures Crowd.
Jenkins, particularly. captured the
crowd. Though weighing only 1924
to Marquart's 13434. the kid from
the Plains country unleashed two
flsted attack against which Mar
quart was helpless Marquart, sew
eral months ago, knocked out Billy
Beauhuld.
Davis, who knocked out Tony Cam
zoneri in his last previous Garden
appearance, proved too strong for
Larkin. For four rounds the New
Jersey boy, outweighed 1854 pounds
to 1884,, kept Davis at bay am
made thrilling fight of it. But in
| the fifth he suddenly tired. A right
to the jaw staggered him, and, as
he started to fall, Davis sent ter
rife blow to his middle. Larkin had
to be carried to his corner.

PALO ALTO, Calf, Dec. &c.
E. Tiny" Thornhill's football coach

hours after he had predicted his own
flgurative decapitation.
His firing" as he termed it, end
ed 18 years of football tutoring at
Stanford, the last seven as head
coach and producer of three Rose
Bowl teams
Officially the university's Board of
Athletic Control, by vote of 7 to 2,
recommended to DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur, Stanford's president, that
Thornhills contract be not renewed
when it expires next April /.
Saw Ak Descending.
II am fully aware I am about to
be fired" Thornhill declared in an
nouncing before the board met that
he would not resign. He said he
did not consider his record "a fall
ure' despite Stanford's disastrous
1889 season.
Except for a tie with the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles
and a victory over Dartmouth in
the seasons finale, the Indians lost
all their games.
But Thornhill said: Il feel that my
record of 18 years at Stanford has
been above reproach.
Three successive Rose Bowl teams
were produced during my first three
years as head coach. The fourth
year our team finished fourth in the
conference. The fifth year we tied
for second place. The last two years,
I consider, were the only bad ones
we had"
Went to Stanford in 1922.
Thornhill, former University of
Pittsburgh player came to Stanford
as assistant coach in 1922. He sue
ceeded Glenn Scobey Pop Warner
as head coach in 1888, when the lat
ter went to coach at Temple Uni
versity.
Warner now is associated with
Dud De Groot in coaching at nearby
San Jose State College. De Groot is
among those who have been men,
toned as a possible successor to
Thornhill.
The Stanford Board of Athletic
