Discipline Is Debated.
The big question in the minds
of most fans is wether or not
Feerick will be able to keep his
players in check. Familiarity
breeds contempt" they say, and
there is a possibility of ill-feeling
on the part of Feerick's ex-team-
mates.
Feerick dismisses that posi-
bility with a shrug. however, and
so do Dick O'Keefe, who expects
to play under Bob next season,
and Mckinney.
I'm very satisfied" says
O'Keefe, who, like Feerick, starred
for Santa Clara University. II
think it's a fine thing. The club
has a high opinion of Bob. He
knows basket ball and they know
he knows it,"
Feerick had his knee operated
on three weeks ago and says it
is in great shape. He'll play and
he'll coach. And If he can coach
as well as play, everything will be
rosy at Uline Arena.

Olympia, Ocean Drive
In Arlington Sprint
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO. July 6-Olympia,
Fred w. Hooper's speedy 3-year-
old and beaten Kentucky Derby
favorite. makes his season debut
here today in the eighth running
of the $4,000 added Dick Welles
Stakes at Arlington Park.

Ocean Drive, head a small field of
five in the 6-furlong sprint. Lex
brook Stable has entered Lex

named Cacoma, and King Ranch
will try Curandero.

Charles Tops Louis
As Quick Defender
Of Ring Laure|s
BY the Asseciotsd Press

NEW YORK, July 6.-Maybe
Ezzard Charles can't carry Joe
Louis gloves. but he's beating the
Brown Bomber's track record by
20 days for first title defense.
The lean young Negro from Gin
cinnati, who won the NBA share
of Louis vacated heavyweight
championship at ChicagosJune %,
has agreed to defend his crown
August 10 against Gus Lesnevich,
the former world light heavy
weight king.
New York's Yankee Stadium
will be the site of the 15-round
bout to be held only 40 days after
Charles won the crown by out
pointing old Jersey Joe Walcott.
Eddie Eagan, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Com
mission. which insists on a tour
nament" to determine the heavy
weight champion, said he would
not recognize it as title fight.
Thus Charles will be making the
first defense of his NBA crown
in a non-NBA State that doesn't
recognize his right to the throne.
You can expect Jake Mintz,
Ezzy's voluble manager, to carry
a stiff vocal attack to Eagan's
ears. Jake says he'll ask for an
open hearing from Eagan to prove
his tigers" right to the title.
There are other complications,
too. The British will tab the win
ner of the Lee Savold-Bruc
Woodcock fight September 6 as
their world champ.
Also, a protest was raised in
Cincinnati. where Promoter Sam
Becker said Lesnevich had signed
for a return bout with joey
Maxim September 10.
The contract. Becker said spe-
cifically prohibits Lesnevich from
engaging even in exhibition bouts
before the fight with Maxim. who
beat Gus May % in q scrap billed
as for the American light heavy
weight title
Before Louis came along heavy
weight champs used to wait at
least year before risking their
crown. Joe came back after
knocking out Jimmy Braddock on
June %, 1887, to whip Tommy
Farr, August 80, 1887.
