Tough Little Cooper
Faces Keen Fighter
In Pucci Tonight

When little Jimmy Cooper climbs
into the boxing ring he looks so
young, helpless and innocent 1t
seems shame that he is tossed in
there against those tough profess
sional fighters. When the bell rings,
though, it's different matter. The
baby-faced colored youngster Is a
ball Of fire, darting all over the
place, fiicking that lightning left jab
Of his into his opponents face and
following with right crosses that
carry a surprising amount Of author
ity for one so light and 30 young.
Jimmy, a light featherweight, has
won all except one of his eight pro-
fessional fights and that non-win
was a draw against Puggy King,
knocked out in a return bout. He
followed that with an eight-round
triumph over Orlando Fernandez
several weeks ago and now rates as
the best rookie developed so far this
winter at Turner's Arena.
He heads the fight card there
again tonight, taking on frankie
Pucci of Canada in an eight
rounder. Charley appears a fair
journeyman fighter and has topped
such as Jimmy jeanette, Archie De
Vino and Willie Alexander.
Sharing interest with this fight Is
another eight-heater between Kid
Alexander and Red Gaddis. The
Kid is staging q comeback, and If
he wins there's a chance he'll be
matched against Cooper-tf Cooper

GREENSBORO, Md, Jan. ia
Stewart Cup soccer game between
the Pompei Club of Baltimore and
Greensboro of the Eastern Shore
League erupted in ruckus yester-
day afternoon and State police re-
ported the referee was badly beaten.
The official, Vincent Saverese OF
Baltimore was treated for q black
eve, facial cuts and body bruises
Part Of his clothes also were torn on.
The game, one of series for the
State amateur championship, was
played in three inches of snow and
bad feeling developed early among
the partisan crowd of about 400 fans.
With one minute to go and the
score Ii, Savarese called a foul on
Greensboro and awarded Pompei a
free kick from the corner OF the
field. It was turned into goal on
another close decision.
Police said they learned seven
Greensboro players hit Savarese and
the crowd swarmed on the field.
savarese suspended the seven play
ers and refused to let the game con-
tinue. This touched off some more
milling around by the crowd and it
was not broken up until the county
sheriff arrived, along with State
police from the Easton barracks.
Police put the official and the
Baltimore team on their chartered
bus and escorted them out of town.
Gene Ringsdorf, secretary OF the
Maryland and District Of Columbia

On matters Of court:
Why don't Georgetown and
George Washington, which are
playing in comparative privacy
at the Armory, get together for
a double-header On Saturday

Speaking Of crowds, in the Loy-
ola-Johns Hopkins game in Bal
timore last week, the gym doors
were closed a half hour before
game time at Hopkins, although
the hosts had won only one

what's the story at Raleigh,
where the N. G. State gym that
has housed 5000 for basket ball
games for years suddenly is
safe for only 1,200?
OF the six major unbeaten
college teams, three of them are
from New York and all three
have played almost all their
games at home, Columbia, New
York U. and Fordham. The
other three unbeaten clubs, Rhode
Island State, La Sale and Du-
quesne, also have played most of
their games at home, which is
the main reason they are un-
beaten. An indication Of the
difference between home and
road basket bali is shown in the
records of the major local teams.

lost Z, shows a Al record at home

Is frank to admit that he makes

Nossie Sherman is 81 years

guess, just about 5 feet even. He
has brown hair and brown eyes,

not know much about betting IN

about the Sherman pool.
You must understand that In

"But in handling 100000 bets
don't you find that there are

"Well," Nossie said, "a few

When a bettor doesn't pay he

that this is an established thing
that goes on every week, and
there are very few who do not

It has been figured out that
the average bet is approximately
three shillings or, roughly, go

Peter! What is all this about?"
That's better" he said, that's the girl mar

never in all her life had she been kissed before.

"If I'd wanted that kind of girl, don't you think
there were dozen here in London for me to pick
from?' he was continuing. THAT first time that
saw you, I'd just come back from bombing raid
over Berlin! You can guess can't you, what that
was like? Hours on hours of concentrated watch
full boredom, interrupted every now and then by
danger, by excitement, by high adventure - ten
hours of it - and what do you think they do to
you, ten hours like that?
They make you long to have the right person
refresh you, with whom you can relax, someone
who can justify the whole thing to you. Then when
l saw you across the smoke in that canteen. 50
quiet so calm, 50 very lovely. That's the girl
thought, about whom I'd like to be able to think
when I'm up there, I'm coming back to her."
Il know, darling, but that was then, she inter-
rupted.
He laughed But why should be wanting
anything different now? I'm the same person STILL
wanting the same things. That Renwick girl with
her tight, fashionable little curls, do you think
that's the kind of girl / want to come back to
at the end of long strained day? The kind of girl
that you'd dressed up yourself to be tonight?
You fool, you little fool
80 we're not going to have any more of that
nonsense, are we now?"
She nodded reassuringly. No, there'd be no
more of that nonsense. There needn't be. No need
to worry about that Renwick girl about girls like
that Renwck girl. She was confident and reas-
sued. At the same time :.

Peter that she didn't mean to lose sight of alto
gether. She wasn't going to let him 60 back into
his shell completely If one could feel like that, it
was as well every now and again to be like that
1t was dangerous to cage it up. Somebody else
might let it loose. She didn't mean to let any other
