Louis Could Keep Title
After War, Sharkey,
Ex-Champ, Claims
BY DEAK MORSE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

BOSTON, July 3.-Striding ur
and down behind his 96-foot bar
and little changed from the gladi-
ator who 10 years ago next Monday
lost his heavyweight championship
crown to Primo Camera, Jack
Sharkey predicted Joe Louis will un-
successfully hold his title after the
war is over-if the champion decides
he will defend 1t.
when and if he is beaten" the
Boston COB said. none of the cur
rent crop of hopefuls will be the
man to do it."
Service to Produce Champ.
While stems Of suds hzzled and
foamed in his fists and he stopped
occasionally to pour a long, cool
one, Sharkey summed up his con-
victions about the Brown Bomber
In this manner:
Barring injury to Joe and pro-
viding this thing (the war; doesn't t
last too long. his chances are just
as good as the rest Of them, The
boys who might beat him are in
the service and are not getting the
experience which they need. No
body knows who will end Louis
reign, but his conqueror will come
out of the service. All the athletes
are in the service"
Sharkey commented that in his
opinion Barney Ross, who killed
more than a score of Japs on
Guadalcanal has been the biggest
credit to the boxing game since the
war started and opined that Willie
Pep, Beau Jack, Sugar Robinson and
Henry Armstrong, who is making q
marvellous comeback were the lead
ing exponents of the manly art OF
modified murder in action today.
Conn's Chances Held Poor.
He thought that Billy Conn might
have gone far, but said that Conn S
enforced idleness would be a big
handicap to overcome when he
again is able to jump into the
squared circle
You never forget what you have
learned in the ring" the squire as
serted as he brandished a towel
across the bar, land Joe would be
too smart for Billy If they were to
meet again"
What about this Galento fellow
who is attempting a comeback" he
was asked.
Leaning back now and surveying
the grandiloquent length of his bar,
Jack spat out one word of contempt
that amply conveyed his impressions
Of Two-ton Tony's efforts.

Dime a Round Play
May Be Big Help
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Second big holiday week end Of
the golf season finds the linksmen,
now getting to the clubs by public
transportation, ready to lock horns
in a series of Red Cross Journeys.
Two clubs have scheduled mixed
foursome events.
Here is the holiday schedule:
Chevy Chase. today 18-hole
medal play, Red Cross benefit.
Columbia, today and tomorrow
Red Cross medal play sweepstakes.
Washington, today-Mixed four
some. Medal play tourney If entries
warrant.
Indian Spring, today and tomor-
row-Blind bogey tourney for Red
Cross benefit Prizes for low gross
and net.
Kenwood. today-Mixed foursome
tourney; also driving, pitching and
putting contests. Today and to-
morrow-Flag tournament for Red
Cross.
Woodmont, today and tomorrow
Medal play tourney for Red Cross.
Bannockburn, today and tomor-
row-Medal play tourney for Red
Cross.
Shorey Looks to Big Event.
Pro Mel Shorey has only half q
dozen pro entrants ready to play in
the amateur-pro tourney scheduled
Wednesday at Indian Spring, but
he believes more will enter to bring
the pro list up to Is or more by
noon that day. Shorey has a long
list Of amateur entrants, to be ap-
portioned three to each pro, and
wants to have enough pros to take
care of all the amateurs who want
to play.
Some Of the Baltimore pros will
| not be available for this tourney be-
cause Of transportation troubles and
the fact that some are working in
defense plants.
George Diffenbaugh probably will
stage the next amateur pro at Ken
wood in August.
DR.. Bruce L. Taylor, a former
president Of the District Golf As
soclation and long prominent
linksman around Washington, died
Wednesday at the age of II. For
many years he played in nearly all
the Journeys held around the Capt.
tai. He was a member of Congress
sional and Indian Spring.
Dime a Round Golf Helps.
In the aggregate. says Thomas G.
Mcmahon, president of the Chicago
District Golf Association, golfers in
the Chicago area will contribute
many thousands of dollars to serv-
icemen's centers here through dime
around contributions The CDGA
hopes to spread the plan throughout
the entire country. Each golfer
drops dime in box whenever he
starts round
It's simple enough. and painless,
and in the aggregate it can raise
quite a piece of money Sponsored
by the District of Columbia Golf
Association, which is not very active
this year, the dime-a-round plan
could do good job in this area
toward fund-raising for the Red
Cross and other agencies.
Al Houghton, former star local
pro, may be back in Washington in
the near future. Al writes from
Manaos. Brazil, that he may not be
here for two years, as he expected.
He flew 1000 miles over the jungle
to Belem and expects to go to Chile
before his return to the States.
Seek More Benefit Matches.
Cliff Spencer and Claude Rippv
are looking around for more Red
Cross benefit matches. To date
they've raised s2o6 in a series of
contests against other pro-amateur
and pro-pro combines.
1t isn't much. but it is better than
nothing. and the two campaigners
hope to schedule several more
matches despite the difficulty Of
getting to golf courses nowadays.

An early ptglike animal. The
other ttco are early forms OF the
camel and elephant.
head was shaped very much like
that of horse or donkey. but IL
had no hoofs. Instead OF hoofs it
had three large claws on each foot
The teeth make 1t clear that the
Moropus was a grazing animal.
They were fit for cropping off grass
and chewing it. The claws may
have been used for clearing snow
from the ground, or perhaps for
digging up roots when grass was
not to be found.
MoropuS skeletons are not very
common. but several dozen of them
have been found and placed in mu-
seums. The earliest known skele-
ton of this animal was discovered
in wyoming, and belonged to an
animal only about the size of
sheep Excellent skeletons have
come from Western Nebraska, and
they show height of 5 or feet
at the shoulders.
Another odd beast of the past
was a piglike animal sometimes
called "the giant swine" This ami
NAL had large head, but did not
possess the long tusks which are
weapons of present-day wild boars.
Instead they had. at the front OF
each jaw. two diversified teeth.
Like other animals of the past.
giant swine differed great deal in
size. Some of them reached the
size of oxen; indeed, certain OF
them were larger than any OK. with
height at the shoulders of as much
as feet!
The skulls of giant swine often
had length of more than
feet. Skulls of 3-foot size have
been found at the Agate Spring
quarry, near Harrison, Nebr. That
quarry has proved rich mine for
bones of various kinds of ancient
ma mmals.
This continent also was the home
OF camels in times Of the far past.
Camel skeletons have been found
in Alaska. and many others have
been taken from rock layers in
southwestern parts of the United
States.
Nevada seems to have been the
part of this continent where cam
els lived until the latest date. They
were, however. all gone when whites
first explored Nevada-all gone ex-
cept for the skeletons they left be-
hind.
