Smith Far From Ready
For SaddIer Despite
Victory Over Heino|d
By George Huber

Gene Smith, Washington feath-
erweight. definitely is established
as a red hot gate attraction here.
Nearly 5000 customers-the best
turnout in three years at Turner's
Arena-came out to see him last
night. But while Smith won his
10-round fight against Cowboy
Proctor Heinold of Enid, Okla,
handily, he wasn't impressive
enough to show he is ready for
the likes of Sandy Saddler.
It was Smiths 21st straight
victory. Eighteen have been by
knockouts. but Smith wasn't close
to winning by a knockout last
night, although he did deck the
cagy Heinold with a left hook in
the first round. Smith afterward
admitted it was the toughest
fight he's had and that he never
was able to catch up with Heinold.
Smith Injuries Hand Again.
Heinold had a slight cut over
his left eye in the seventh round,
but in turn he raised welt over
Smiths eye and it was no one
sided fight. At times Smith fell
for an overland right and Hell
nold's counter-punching tactics
bothered him considerably.
The Washington youngster really
is a promising fighter, but he has
a long way to go before he can
be considered a title contender.
Irv Cohen of New York, a man
ager who has some good fighters
under his wing, handles Smith
and thought enough of him to
bring Ted Benton, well-known
second. from New York to work
in the Washington boys corner
last night.
Smith hurt his left hand again,
and unless this is cleared up the
youngster may be handicapped
considerably. A similar injury
caused postponement of this fight
three weeks ago. Possibly Smith
didn't wait long enough before
fighting again. He said he could
feel pain in the hand several times
during the fight and that he wor-
ried about it throughout the bout.
Semifinal Scrap Is Good.
Actually there was hotter action
in the eight-round middleweight
semif1nal. Johnny Pratt, last
minute sub for Johnny Cunning
ham. was battered around for six
rounds by Connie Wilkins, then
decked Wilkins in the seventh
round and put him down again
for keeps in the eighth.
In other bouts, Welterweight
Willie Selanik won by a foul over
Lorenzo Giles, Clarence Hinnant
defeated Young Satin in five and
Lorenzo Giles stopped Mickey
Finn in the second.

developed according to Harris
plans.
Meanwhile, Harris is satisfied
he has adequate shortstop pro-
lection with Sam Dente and Gene
Verble around. Verble, former
Atlanta inf1elder, is making deep
impression on Bucky with his ag-
gressive attitude and all-around
savvy.
"If Dente slips, even a little bit,
he's likely to find Verble taking
his job" Harris says.
Verble has little batting power,
but Bucky likes his clever place.
hitting, as well as his flashy
fielding.
Another rookie who has been
impressive is Catcher Frank
Sacka. who has provided the most
monumental blows to clear Tinker
Field fences. Harris is eager to
see him against top-f1ight pitching
and may shove him into action
Saturday and Sunday when the
Mats and Athletics tangle here.
Against the AS, Harris plans to
use three pitchers who toiled for
Orlando last year, supplementing
them with Carlos Pascual and
Connie Marrero if those Cuban
hurlers should honor the Mats
with their presence by that time.
This is unlikely as the rest of the
Cuban delegation probably won't
be here before next week.
Ed Brooklyn, a left-hander who
had 1873 record: Hank Bruder,
17-8. and Dean Currier, 14-9, are
the Orlando pitchers who will be
employed against Philadelphia.
Also likely to service is Melvin
Doxtator, an Oneida Indian who
won 20 games and lost II with
Enporia, Va, last season.

going into the home stretch.
At this point Ross cut loose
with terrific sprint and the for
mer Villanova athlete from
Gloucester, N. j., nosed out Ara
vena, with Twomey third and
Stone fourth. The winning time
was 4 minutes 4-10ths of a second.
The Chilean was only one-tenth
OF a second behind.
No sooner had Ross finished
than he turned belligerently on
the first Argentine runner he saw,
apparently to avenge an incident
in the race when Twomey was
jostled off the track.
Ross and big Oscar Gauharau
began arguing violently while the
small crowd of 10000 looked on in
wonderment. However, the two
were pulled apart before blows
could be struck and, after tempers
cooled, the whole thing turned out
to be a case of mistaken identity.
Ross Becomes Incensed.
Ross became incensed because
little Twomey had been jostled on
a curve. being forced into the
grass for several strides. Ross
thought big Gauharau did it and
challenged him.
Later members of the United
States team said the jostling was
done by another Argentine, Hugo
Ponce.
The officials went into a series
of huddles after the incident and
it was several minutes before they
officially announced that Ross was
the winner.

Lone White Champion.
Can it be possible that crafty
Doc Kearns is holding out his
lone white champion to keep one
survivor left for the white race?
Good Negro fighters now hold
practically all of the other out
posts.
There's Sandy Saddler in charge
of the featherweight spot: Ike
Williams still the ruling mandarin
of the lightweights; highly IA
vored colored challengers for the
vacated throne; Ray Robinson on
top among the middleweights; and
Ezzard Charles ruling the heavies,
with Louis in pursuit.
From this lookout it might be
said that the future is a bit dark
for the paler faces. It may be that
Kearns, one of the most colorful
of all fight managers, has studied
the history of extinct species.
For example, the once-famous
dodo. Then the great aux. Also the
brontosaurus. Once we had the
sabre toothed tiger. Oblivion is
packed with remembered and for
gotten species.
So Doc may be saving Maxim,
the light-heavyweight champion,
as relic of the days that knew
Dempsey. Tunney. Jeffries, Cor
bett, Leonard. McClarnin. Greb,
Ketchel, etc.
Archie Moore is hot on Maxim
trail and Ray Robinson is think
ing in terms of the same man.
Practically all the throne rooms
are guarded by colored fighters
and, in addition, most of the bet
ter challengers are Negroes.
If Maxim is to make any ring
appearance, it might be just as
well to use him when he can, walk
out under his own mileage, and
not be carried out.
