Training Gnind on Amival: By FAIR PLAY. NEW YORK, May _ 28.—Ermino Spalla did not tarry long’ in New York after his arrival from Brazil on the American Legion. He went straight out to the ‘farm’ near’ Sum- mit, N. J., where Vicentini, Rojas and other dark-skinned boxers are training. Spalla says he is ready “for the best of the American fight- ers a8 soon as he gets. his sea legs. He once hit Firpo so hard he gave hima long, long count and there- after Luis avoided all offers of a return meeting. Spal thinks Firpo is really sick of the prize ring. Looking back withthe aid of the old mers and ransacking one’s own memory, one fails to find that a title bout has been fought in Penh- sylvania. Funny, ain't it. There- fore the bout between Walker and Tendler in June is bound to be epoch- al, This {s not to say that champions have not boxed in the Keystone state but this seems to be the fifst time that thrones are likely, more or less, to be overthrown. Of course, Lew may be setting himself up as a man of straw to be knocked down. The way he evaded @ second meeting with Nate Gold- man did not argue that he is as stuck on his ability these days. But Mickey Walker is not taking any chances, is working as hard out in Bye’s Summit farm as though he were preparing for Benny Leonard. Bobby Barrett is the latest light- weight to announce he is getting heavy and will hereafter fight inthe welter class. This is a sure sign that the welter division is beginning to develop some prestige. ——————— Sport Calendar Racing. Meeting of Westchester itacing association at Belmont park.

Nobody can criticize me for that. I trained for six weeks before coming to America, worked daily on the ship coming. I am ready now.” The Frenchman went about his work like a boxer supremely con- fident of victory, joshing with the spectators “and apologizing .to~ his sparring partners for the stinging blows they absorbed. Carpentier poses for half a dozen photographers between. rounds, but pleaded with them in excellent Eng- Ush to “hurry up, hurry up.” Gus.

In past races, Cooper has been well up among the leaders until near the end. when something would happen to his mo- tor. “I've got enough luck now to win @ dozen races and still it comes,” Cooper said. He indicated that. he was almost in as bad a fix now as before—he’s worried over which of all the tokens is the luckiest one, “Yd have to carry a trailer in the race to carry all my luck pieces. I'm wallowing in luck and Lady Luck is my sweetheart from today on,” he said. Many of the luck pieces have his- tories of their own and the senders have requested that they be return- ed after the race, A girl in Omaha sent a belt buckle that had deflect- ed a piece of shrapnel and saved her sweetheart's life in France. A wo- man in. Memphis sent a worn twen- ty-five cent piece that had been in the family since the Civil war. One young woman living in Brooklyn, offered herself as Cooper's goddess ef luck.
