These two sports have swept the country within the past decade, most remain the “national pastime,” by a narrow margin, and other professional | sports such as boxing and horse rac- ing have experienced sharp declines in public interest. Baseball's lead over all other sports has so far been cut down that the As- sociated Press poll shows a compila- tion of 181 points to football’s 163. Golf is a good third with 114, but box- ing is a poor fourth with only 29. Five years ago boxing undoubtedly would have been included in the first three by 99 out of every 100 observers. Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth's chief ri- val as a public idol in the boom days, was a big factor in fistian’s popular- ity and his retirement, along . with that of Gene Tunney, accelerated the sports decline in general interest. “If it were possible to drive out cer- tain elements from boxing,” writes a Philadelphia’ expert, “such as the racketeers, smart alecks who know that this bout or that bout is “in the bag”; circus boxers as well as those guilty of throwing fights, the game would return to the same standard when record gates were drawn in the days of Kilbane, Leonard and Demp- sey.” Professional wrestling, several ex- perts find, has helped oust boxing from its former favor, the comparison in Mississippi showing “about four ae fans to each boxing fanatic 932.’ F TS Last IGHT (By The Associated Press) polis Firpo, le, Kya outs Inted Bad Chicage (10); Carly Blety. outpointed, Sailor e3 Jack Los Angeles—Cefering Garcia, lia, P. stopped Alfredo ‘Mexico’ (4)s Armando San- i) South Bend, Ind—' ‘wood, Ft.

New York, Jan. 20.—(P)—A_ big, finely muscled youngster with a wide, intelligent face, sat on the edge of a tubbing table, a robe about his naked shoulders, eight-ounce gloves on his hands, “Remember Kid,” insisted the stooped old timer bobbing in front of him. “His legs are gone. Rush him to the ropes. Throw a wild right hand at his chin with everything be- hind it. Do you understand?” “Yes sir, Mr. Harvey,” said Steve Hamas, the finest young American heavyweight of the day. A few minutes later in the Madison Square ring, Hamas rushed the vet- eran Tommy Loughran to the ropes and let the right hand go. That was' the beginning of the end. Soon after that he helped Tommy to his corner. As he walked back with one of his seconds he shook his head. “Anybody but him,” Steve said. “I always liked him.” Hamas became the newest heavy- weight sensation that night, the first collegiate heavyweight champion in 1927 and 1929, and played all sports. He became a professional fighter by accident. He wants to be a doctor some day and he will be. He is 25 years old. His father, who runs a cigar store in Wallingford, N. J., made an ath- ‘ete of him. He had a complete gym- nasium set up in the back yard. He is Austrian in descent, a stu- dent, avid reader, unexcitable, inde- |fatigable gymnasium worker, a great “finisher” in a ring and speaks five languages, Slav, Russian, Polish, Eng- lish and profane. He loves big stakes and vegetables and thinks his only sister is the best cook in the world. He likes to start arguments, and then retire. He's a ‘ribber,” a practical joker.

Use the Want Ads Failure to Give Sharkey Return Match Leads to Trouble With Boxing Body Chicago, Jan. 20.—()—Herr Max Schmeling, the world heavyweight champion, and the New York state athletic commission have made up, but Schmeling and the National Boxing association appear just about to have @ serious falling out. Just as Schmeling was making his Peace with the New York commission by promising to sign for a champion- ship match against Jack Sharkey in New York before next July 1, General John V. Clinnin, president of the Na- tional Boxing association, and chair- man of the Illinois.state athletic com-| mission, dispatched ballots to mem- bers of the N. B. A, asking them to vote on the question of vacating the heavyweight title, because of Schmel- ing’s failure to defend, or sign to de- fend, it within the prescribed six month time limit, . Schmeling’s troubles with the New York group began when he failed to keep a promise to give Jack Sharkey, whom he defeated on a foul, thus gaining recognition as champion, a return match. The New York com- mission withdrew its recognition a year ago,,when Schmeling did nothing about meeting Sharkey again. All that time, however, the Nation- a Boxing association recognized as thampion, and sanction- ed his title bout with W. L. (Young) Stribling, at Cleveland last July 3. Under the N. B. A.’s rules, he was due to fight or sign up by Jan. 3. At the time a match for the championship with Mickey Walker, former welter- weight and middleweight titleholder, | 4 was brewing, and the N. B.

SHARKEY-SCHMELING FIGHT APPEARS TO BE CERTAINTY New York, Jan. 20.—(P)—One fine night this coming June, if all goes well, the fight faithful will rally around the center lights at Yankee stadium and watch Max’ Schmeling and Jack Sharkey resume their fistio dispute where they left off two years before. All that remains to assure another heavyweight champion, and the Bos- ton sailor who fouled him into the title in June, 1930, is the actual sign- \ing of contracts. | Joe Jacobs, manager of the cham- pion, is said to have reached an \agreement with Madison Square Gar- den to hold the bout in one of the ma- jor league ball parks here. The dis- tance will be 15 rounds. The last serious obstacle to the match was removed Tuesday, when Schmeling “made up” with the New York state athletic commission. He formally promised to fight Sharkey before July 1 and to post a $25,000 forfeit when the papers are signed. The commission, which outlawed the German when he failed to keep his word to give Sharkey a return match a year ago, lifted his suspension to the extent of granting him permission to negotiate with Sharkey and his manager, Johnny Buckley, who are expected down from Boston Monday. $$ y Basketball Scores | o Gustavus Adolphus 29; Macalester 31 (overtime).
