retary, take a letter to the Marquis
Of Queensbury Valhalla:
Dear Queensie:
Was there a slight odor coming
up your way from down here last
night? And did you look down at
that business in Madison Square
Garden?
Well. If you did, don't worry about
the sport of scrambling ears you
pulled of the river barges and
pushed into polite society, because
that thing in which Welterweight
Champ Freddie (Red) Cochrane
gave Lightweight Boss Lew Jenkins
an old-fashioned failing for 10
rounds, while Lew ack-pedaled and
ran away, was billed only as a fight
If that was boxing match. then
so is one between Joe Louis and
little Lulu.
C0chrane Shows His Grit.
You can't take anything away
from Cochrane. The bull-necked
little redhead from Jersey walked
out against the fellow who was sup
posed to be among the greatest
punching lightweights in ring his
tory. He chased this great puncher
all over the place. He f1oored him
f1ve times, using both hands to do
1t, and at the end the only round he
had lost was the third, which was
taken from him for low punching.
In doing all this, he killed for all
time the talk that he is no ball of
fire as a welterweight champion.
He proved that his victory over
Frltzle Zivic in winning the crown
couple Of months ago was no fluke.
But, Queensie, don't forget he had
no more opposition than a truck
going through paper wall Jenkins
didn't take a single forward step,
and actually threw fewer than a
dozen punches. He let go his wreck
ing hand just once-in the sixth
round-and he put 1t back to bed
again.
Jenkins Roasted BY Fans.
The show did bring out one thing.
1t showed how many jeering sounds
II, 1872 fans can make when they're
in the mood. There were laughs
and whistles and good old boos and
stomps. And none of them was
pleasant.
Jenkins said he was still ailing
from his motorcycle accident three
weeks ago and that a chiropractor
had treatened his back only three
days ago, but that Reds first right
hand punch had undone all the
treatment.
Yes, sir. Queensie, that was his
story. Well. he had better be okay
again by October 81, because he and
N. B. A. boss Sammy Angott settle
the 135-pound squabble that night
and Sammy is going to bring his
guns along.

Give an ear to the deeds of the

what they have done and may do.
A couple of years ago from a Pa

Washington his family. Mrs. Bran
don came with a reputation as a
golfer, and young Tom, in his first
year in town, won the junior cham

But on spot which many members
of Columbia claim can become a
personal triumph for the senior
masculine Brandon.

Comdr. Brandon you've heard
little about him in competitive golf
around town. happens to be a shot
maker of considerable skill and abil-
ity. Held to a desk in the Navy De-
partment all through the week he
plays only weekend golf. But he
can win the club championship this
week. and make it a triple slam for
the Brandons. That, If it happens

back than couple of days to find
out how good a golfer Is Comdr
Brandon. Well dismiss it in one
sentence for the moment). He shot
72 from the back tees at Columbia
in tough match.
Columbia, of course, has a lot of
good golfers within the club. Such
men as Defending Champ Martin r

lightly to be brushed aside. But

Charley Maimone, rugged South

at Turner's Arena, but somebody
should discourage him.
It'll be long time before you see

factured for a slim turnout, even

a richly deserved victory. But the
consensus of ringsiders is that he'd
be counting disaster in paid ranks.
Arms Appear Too Short.
Maimone has courage, as proved
in whipping the stout-hearted and
hardhitting White, but he might
have too much heart for his short
arms and chunky torso in the pro
racket. White isn't any bigger. 1t
was as even match as Bill Blake,

Charley wouldn't meet similar op-
