Since his defeat of Max Schmeling, Steve's services are much in demand. Rival promoters are fighting to get his name on the line, but it seems that Jack Dempsey has the inside track, offering Hamas a bout with Max Baer. Venerable Charley, who toddles hither and yon with his cane, and whose greatest blasphemy is “jim- miny-ginger-crickets,” had @ near- champ in Honest Thomas Heeney, the piece of lignum vitee from “down un- der.” Charley brought Tom from far down in the list to convince Gene ‘Tunney, despite the arguments of Tex , that Heeney was the guy Gene should take on in his last heavyweight title defense. If you'll recall, Tunney got $525.000 and Heeney got $110,000 for that fight P| —and Madison Square Garden went in the hole. x * * PAROCHIAL, SCHOOL QUINTS USE ROUGH TACTICS IN CONTEST jEject Three Minot Cagers tor Fouls; Visitors Lead Dur- ing First Quarter jPRABK LEE REGISTERS 14 Local Hoopsters Show Effects Of Week's Layoffs from Basketball Court St. Mary's high cagers won from the St. Leo's Minot quint 32-19 in a rough. game at the World War Memorial au- ditorium Friday night. The local team showed the effécts of its practice layoff the last week, and played raggedly throughout. However, excessive fouling, especially on the Minot five, made smooth floor work almost impossible. Two 8t. Leo men were ejected on fouls and an- other was taken out of play for rough- ness, The contest started slowly with the visitors taking an early lead which they held during the entire first pe- tiod, which ended 8 to 7. Soon after the second period began St. Mary’s forged ahead on a field {goal by Frank Lee. For the. rest of Charley Harvey is a wise old gen- {the contest the Bismarck squad ac- tleman who knows where to put in| cumulated a steady advantage. his oar and when to pull it. The re- cent battle between Hamas and Schmeling in Philadelphia is another instanoe of his business acumen. Schmeling would fight King Levin- sky, everyone said, until Lena Levy, the Kingfish’s sister and manager, beefed about Joe Jacobs and his Black Uhlan taking from 35 to 40 per cent of the gate. That nettled Jacobs, and he signed to fight Hamas, figured as ®@ setup. But Penn State Hamas spilled the dope. In one battle he boosted him- self from 15th ranking among the heavies at the beginning of the year to fifth place by his decisive defeat of | Schmeling. He now rates behind Carnera. Baer, Loughran and Levin- sky—and many would put him in fourth place. s* & ‘Young Steve has come a long way ‘under the man who brought more horizontal English pugs to American shores than any other manager.; Charley saw him shortly after he had copped all the athletic honors Penn State had to offer. Steve won 11 let- ters—more than any other man in the school’s history—in boxing. football, lacrosse, track, and basketball. He had topped off his career by winning the intercollegiate heavyweight title when he met Harvey. Hamas wanted to turn pro and asked Harvey to handle him. But the astute old codger turned down the offer “because he was such a fine kid.” That made Steve a bit peeved, 80 he went west on his own hook and came back with a knockout that made Charley blink. Right then and there he took over the young man, and so started a career featuring a string of 20 consecutive knockouts. The ex-collegian’s victory over{ Schmeling is doubly creditable be- cause it was the one big fight in his comeback career. Previous to the knockout of Tommy Many St. Mary's boys saw action in Friday's game, with Lee, John Boel- ter, Art Hulbert, Bob Murphy, Tommy Lee, Hagen, Geiermann, Kaiser, An- derson, Doerner and Schmidt, in the contest.
