Boxing Indoors

Promoter Goldie Ahearn today had
closed out an agreement whereby
the Liberty Athletic Club again
will feature its fall and winter box
ing shows at Uline Arena.
The opening presentation is set
for Uline's tomorrow night when the
SHOW headlining sonny Boy West
and Make Shapiro In scheduled
10-round bout, originally booked for
Griffith Stadium last Monday and
then rescheduled for tonight, is
moved inside.
Ahearn announces that he plans
matching the winner of tomorrow
nights main event with a nation
ally-famed lightweight at Uline
Arena on Wednesday. October ~,
and also is planning other outstand-
ing bouts.
Unfavorable weather predictions
yesterday caused Goldie to transfer
this show to Uline's after originally
having postponed 1t from last Mon
day night because of split lip slf-
fered by West in training.
Sonny Boy remained a 7-5 choice
over Shapiro today. but Make was
being supported strongly by New
York boxing men. This upset of
Charley Riley, one of the worlds
ranking featherweights, a few
months ago has boosted his stock.
Sonny Boy is riding high among
the younger lightweights as a re-
suit of two decisions in three starts
against dangerous Jimmy Meal
lister and a knockout of Herbie
Biff) Jones, his home town rival.
Tomorrow nights supporting show
offers a brace of six-rounders bring
ing together Don Rife VS.. Rocky
Marciano, heavyweights, and Bob
Baldwin VS.. Guillermo Pardo, mid
dleweights. Opening fours present:
Holly Minis VS.. Julian Keene. mid
dleweights, and Nose Herald VS..

You've heard of rugged lines and
hard hitting backs beating football
teams but Jack Lavele of the New
York Giants came up with a new
wrinkle yesterday-hot biscuits.
Its true" he declared. Our
boys ate so many hot biscuits before
the Detroit game they couldn't move
for three periods. Why the Lions
had 20 points before some of our
guys could buckle their belts, but
even so they beat us only 1920"
THE ample Mr.. Lavelle was here
Id a new role and new blue suit but
wore the same OLD infectious smile.
This ambassador of goodwill busi-
ness isn't new to him, for Jack is
one of the celery circuits most
widely quoted speakers. But with
the 10 games he's secuted thus far
TO report on, Lsvelle was anxious to
present his credentials and be on
his way.
It was a rare occasion to have
both Jack and that other noted
orator, George Preston Marshall,
facing one another across the lunch
con table with no windy introduc-
tions to impede them. But Lavelle
had the edge because the RedSkin
boss was late for meeting and had
to be excused early, thus the statls-
tics were all in the visitors favor.
Millionaire on Team.
But don't forget today tSeptem-
her 28) is Turks birthday" said
Marshall. rising from the table. 80
please ask Steve tOwen) not to spoil
it for him. Steve should let us win
this one. We play him in New York
later on and he always beats us
there"
Lavelle had an astonishing supply
of information to dispense, beginning
with the assertion that the Giants
look like good ball club even
though 19 of their 35 players are
rockies. One, Joe Scott. tall back
from San Francisco, is son-in-law
of Dud De Groot, former Redskin
coach. The Giants also claim to
have the only millionaire in the
league in Bill Schuler, a 215-pound
Yale alumnus, who is playing against
the wishes of his family. Bill
couldn't report until September S
because his dad wouldn't permit him
to leave the famflys iron foundry
before then.
History will be made Sunday, too,
for Emmy" Tunnel, the Giants
fiashy new Negro back, will be the
first member of his race to play in

With the
NAKED EYE


Comet ls4S-L is still with us,
but for the time being presents
only a faint naked-eye definition,
due mainly to the presence of a
late-setting Moon just passed the
full phase.
No details regarding the visitor
have been received thus far, and
it is unlikely that any official an
nouncement will be made until
the orbit has ben calculated. We
shall then know whether 1881
is a resident alien" or a "tran-
silent" in SO far as the Solar Sys-
tenn is concerned.
In the meantime it appears that
the Comet will not remain lucid
for any appreciate period, and
that it will not furnish any spec
tacular display.
Speaking of Comets calls to
mind the fact that Halley's, one
of the most striking individual
celestial objects ever seen by
mankind, and which historical ac-
counts indicate has been visiting
the Solar System since 244e
B. c. at regular IS year periods,
is now half way along its present
orbit, headed back toward the
Sun to keep its tryst with us in
late 1885 or early 1886.
Authorities place its present
position as somewhat beyond the
orbit of NEPTUNE, say about
5000 million miles away, and its
current speed at around half a
mile a second, which will increase
progressively to better than 80
miles a second by the time the
Comet arrives 37h years hence.
Incidentally, HALEY did not
discover the famous Comet
which bears his name. He knew
of its 1881 and 1907 appearances,
and had observed its return in
1882, but as it bora no identity
and as no one had calculated its
4# #EaE& HZ va
orbit. he undertook the task and
predicted an appearance in 1853.
The Comet returned on Christ
mas Night of that year, but Hal
ley did not see it. He died 16 years
before-in 1742.
