S T0WEAR T UNTIL HE GETS HEAVY 60 Ready to Forsake Title and Sign to Fight Sharkey or Schmeling. N renounced the light heavy- weight title was a bit pre- mature. In a talk with the writer Tommy repeated the v he has evpressed during the past year—that he will not give up the title until a contract calling for a fight with a prominent heavyweight, Jack Sharkey preferred, was tendered him and signed and sealed. “I have six months' grace before I will be called upon to defend the title again. There will be ample time to do something about it then, One thing I will say, however, and I can not put it too strongly, if any match maker will come forward with a contract to fight Sharkey or Schmeling I whl gladly give up the 175-pound crown and leave it for the batch of boys I defeated in that class to fight it out among them- selves. Hard to Get Matches. “No one knows the difficulty I had securing matches when I did not have a title. Even as a middleweight I was forced to fight big fellows for small purses to keep going. The only reason I have been able to get fights is that my opponents figure on luck to lift the title. Once I give up the title it will be the same old story. Prominent fighters will have other engagements whenever a match with me is broached. n the short time I've had the title I've fought Mike M'Tigue, Jimmy Slat- tery, Leo Lomski, Pete Latzo twice, Mickey Walker and Jimmy Braddock. My work against these men should en- title me to a match with either Sharkey or Schmeling. I whipped Young Strib- ling more convincingly than Sharkey did and whipped Johnny Risko twice. And Risko was not the punched-out fighter he was when he fought Schmeling either.” Loughran stands on his own rights and hes a good case in his favor. It is now up to the promoters of the country to secure a good heavyweight for the Philadelphian to work on. Rush to Claim Title. The concerted rush of contenders for the supposed vacant title has been a high light in the news of the day. Mickey Walker and Jimmy Braddock stepped forward and claimed the title. Joe Gould. manager of Braddock, thinks he should have the title because Jimmy disposed of Tufly Griffith and Jimmy Slattery. - But Gould does not anything about Leo Lomski, who his man. Walker, who fights Leo Lomski in Philadeiphia next month, has a better claim to recognition if he wins over the Aberdeen assassin. Walker made a far botter showing Bgainst Loughran than Braddock did. Claims mean nothing at the present writing, however, as Loughran still reigns and will do so for six months to come unless that heavyweight matca is forthcoming. POWER SQUADRON'S CRUISE IS SUCCESS se of the United BY JOHN J. ROMANO. EW YORK, July 23—The re- port that Tommy Loughran has The Spring cru Stat its usual success, the participants en- joying themselves hugely, although the turnout was smaller than expected. ‘This probably was due to the length of the cruise and: the absence of many of the members and boats on other trips. The fleet was composed of Comdr. J. Nelson Nevius' Kraken, with L. A. Barnes and R.wRaymond Pruitt as guests; Charles A. Peters and Mrs. Peters aboard the Lynette, Carrol Klotzbach and Mrs. Klotzbach aboard the Swan, with Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Virts along as guests and a visiting brother from Kentucky, Mr. Glenn, as deckhand extraordinary; National Comdr.

After the “Kraken" had resumed her place at the head of the procession and the fleet again started down river, a gun was fired from | the fort. There was much conjecture as to whether it was a salute for the efforts in saving the Government prop- erty or for some other reason.

For this reason the title will not be at stake, but the fight will demonstrate just how high the flashing youngster will go in his chosen profession. Mushy Callahan has a title not rec- ognizéd in this State. It is just as well, because Berg cannot get down that low, and, judging the Englishman on his two showings against Bruce Flowers, he should show the way home to the title holder managed by Jack Kearns. If it were a question of speed Berg would leave Callahan flatfooted. But Berg took the count at the hands of Bill Petrole. Callahan boasts a good left hook and may land on the button. There is a likelthood of a knockout being scored, as both boys can hit hard and sharply. —— ONE OF TRIO TO REFEREE DUNDEE-FIELDS BATTLE DETROIT, July 23 (#).—Floyd Pitz- simmons today named three men from whom will ‘be selected the referee for the 15-round Dundee-Fields welter- weight champlonship fight Thursday nsgm hey are: E.

Each became a champion for the first time in 1923. Since then there has been only one year, 1926, when the close of the season failed to find either in the title list. That was when an operation for appendicitis interrupted the winning streak of Miss Wills after she lost to Mile. Lenglen, her French rival, on the Riviera. Now 1929 finds them at the peak with no signs of any letup in the offing..

Gillette Barrel Window Dis- GENUINE ‘T the recent open golf champion- ship one spectator was comment- ing on the easy way Bobby Jones seemed to hit a long drive. He was watching what H. H. Ramsay called the “syrup-pouring” swing. Apparently there was no effort at all in a swing 50 smooth and well timed. But if he had happened to forget the swing and study Jones' face at the moment of impact he would have drawn a differ- | ent idea. Jones had merely covered Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig may | tremendous hitting effort with the cloak | of form His face alone showed the strain and the power. Walter Johnson seemed to be toss- ing the ball across when he was using enough smoke to rival a burn- ing ofl well. His easy, smooth, almost effortless way of taking a ball back and then flicking it across helped to make his speed more ef- fective. Both Jones and Johnson have always, at their best, been masters of unhur- ried smoothness, with the ability to wait to the final flip for the full ap- plication of power. Paavo Nurmi was about the first of the great runners to get under way from an erect standing start, discarding the crouch. He ran as if that was his natural galt. He might be breaking a rec- ord, but there was no sign that he was ever overtrying or that he was extending himself. He ran as smoothly as the watch that ticked in his hand as now and then he took his look to see that he had covered so many yards in so many seconds. ‘There was no lurching or straining, although in the 1924 Olympics he put on one half-startled burst of speed at the finish as Willie Rittola made a des- perate effort to close the gap in one of the longer runs. Nurmi looked easier on his feet than any athlete I ever saw at any form of competition. After watching him run before he was burned out one| could understand why he could travel 10,000 meters on a blazing hot day without any sign of wilting or weari- ness or strain. ‘The Cloak of Effort. RM might be called the cloak of effort. One of its main features 18 lack of waste motion, of overeffort or extra effort that shows itself. It is the short cut to the simplest way. It is quite possible to apply ter- rific effort in line with form where the use of such effort, minus form, would lead to nothing but trouble. Babe Ruth can hit the ball with what you might call a lucky cove in this re- to realize that Lajoie had the knack of makiny everything he has in his extended system because his swing is co- ordinated. Bobby Jones can get amazing dis- | tance on a drive that shows no ef- | fort where there is plenty of effort. because his hands, body and feet are all working together, not against each other. Any competitor who has the right | method, the correct way. of doing a | thing, nearly always looks easy on | the job. | “'Many known as fine golfers have | blown up, not because they lacked | courage, but because they were fighting defects in form that led to more tension than they could handle under fire. They were fighting against themselves more than against some opponent. Form proves itself over the long route—Cobb leading the league in 12 out of 13 years. Nurmi starring through two sets of Olympic games | Jones running 1—2 in 9 out of his | last 10 open championships. Ruth as a home-run hitter for 10 years, not one season. ‘There have been awkward-looking Ithampluns. but most of the good ones have made their game look easy. Francis Ouimet turned in an 82 at lnl‘ht with the course illuminated with an arc light effect. This might be all | right for a Ouimet, but figure how | many are lights it would take for the average golfer, who explores a much | wider range of landscape as he battles to crack a 100 even under the blazing | light of the sun. | _Much has been said and written about the importation of foreign fight- ers, who are supposed to get most of the good assignments. One fairly good | reason for this may have been that | S0 many American fighters refused to fight, no matter what the pay hap- pened to be. This has been true es- pecially in the heavyweight department, where their main interest seemed to be tapping the till rather than tapping some opponent’s chin. Ty Cobb once went through an entire season with only one home run. No ! ball player could accomplish that feat at this date, even if he did nothing | but bunt from April to October.
