ZE . Painful to Make 175 Pounds, and Real Money Is in Top Division. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, July 24—Tommy Loughran has returned to Philadelphia, but the chances are that he will be back in this city soon and will go before the Boxing Commission to formally an- nounce his retirement from the head of the light-heavyweight ranks. Loughran realizes, as did Tunney be- fore him, that there is only one cham- plon of champions, and Tommy has his eye on the heavyweight crown. The New York commission will not permit Tommy to fight as a heavy- weight until he ceases to be active titie- holder in the lighter class. ‘There are several reasons why Lough- ran is willing to relinquish his present title. He has pretty well cleaned up the lighter division. Moreover, he now al- most has to saw off a leg to make 175 pounds. He said that if he had been obliged to make 175 pounds ringside for Braddock he doubted whether he would have had strength enough to go more than a couple of rounds. Lough- ran is now a natural 185-pounder. Robs Him of Strength. ‘The manner in which he recuper- ated from weight-making in the eight hours left him between the weighing-in and the fight surprised Loughran him- self. He drank a quart of warm beef tea as soon as he got off the scales, which gave system a little of its Jost moisture, and something over an hour later ate his fill of beefsteak and baked potatoes. Even so, it was heart and experience which carried him from the twelfth round on. The last, but not the least, reason why Tommy will fight as a heavyweight is that the money is in that class. Loughran and Joe Smith, his man- ager, visited Madison Square Garden before going to Philadelphia and it is likely that Tommy will box as a8 heavy- weight for that corporation. He could start proceedings with any of the well known trial horses, such as Risko, Heeney, Paulino or Maloney, or he could take on some of the newer crop. Loughran doesn’t care which one the promoters pick. The inch cut on his scalp and the other cut beside his eye both are healing nicely. " “I have a doctor in Philadelphia, Tommy told me, “who is an expert on healing cuts. He treats them with the sunray process and I never have any further trouble with them.” Loughran spoke highly cf Braddock, predicting that within a couple of years Jimmy would cut quite a figure in the | heavyweight ranks. | “Nobodv should be hard on Brad- dock,” saiid Tommy. “He is & mlght_\'i good voung fighter. but he has things | to learn. All through our bout I could see his lack of experience, but he alwavs was in there trying. He| would have had a better chance if| there had been more varlety to his| attack. He'd take six or seven punches | for the chance of landing & right. Then he'd miss the right, and he'd have to start all over again. If he had switch- ed to his left for purposes of attack, thrown it half a dozen times, and then suddenly come with his right again, he would have been harder to figure. Has Been Through Mill. “It is mighty discouraging to keep shooting your best punches at a tar- get you can't hit. I know all about it. Once, when 1 was young and inex- perisnced, I boxed Jack Britton in a gymnasium and couldn’t lay & glove on him. There is my idea of a great boxer. Working with him taught me something. Braddock only hit me one good sock—a left, early in the fight. He never hit me hard with a right. I could take that boy,” said Tommy iling, “and make a great fighter out 21-;\ hirg. All he needs is to taught a few things. l;‘e kr".“ the punch, the build and the heart.” “Will he ever grow to be & natural heavyweight?” I asked. ” “Sure he wll],"l IM%' Tgmn:y. “'}x: Irish develop slowly. ‘e don’t mi until we ge{ to be abcut 27. Tunney n't; I am still filling out, and I'm 26; but Braddock is only 23. He won't be at his best for three years. When I was 19 I couldn't get over 165. " “One reason I am punching harder,’ seid Loughran, “is that for a long time 1 had & bad right hand and I used to go easy with it. It is all well and strong Tow and I can hit properly with it. You also must Temember that many of my bouts have been against fast opponents who wouldn't stand in one place to be hit. You can't set yourself with such men. You have to catch them on the wing with snap shots. With most of these heavyweights you can take your time. You can hit them harder. On the other hand they can assimilate more punishment.” Some Cases in Point. Which would appear to be true. Even Dempsey had to knock down Willard and Firpo seven times or more before he could keep them down, or win from them. Tom Gibbons lasted out his bout with Jack and it took the Manassa Mauler a total of 17 rounds to get a telling crack at Tunney. And think how long it took Corbett to get Sullivan; Fitz and Jeffries to get Corbett; Johnson to stop the almost helpless Jeffries, and Willard to beat Johnson. Schmeling could hit Paulino as he pleased, but, for all Max's vaunted punch, he couldn't stoo the Basque. Bulow, by the way, says, if T under- stand him properly, that he never signed Schmeling to meet Scott. He signed him with the Fugazy-Dempsey combination to meet Paulino. If Paulino became unavailable, a substitute ‘was to be agreed upon agreeable to both promotors and manager. I wonder whether Bulow ever accepted Scott as such a substitute.

Perhaps nothing like the feeling aroused by the old Cubs- Giants battles will be manifest, but just the same there is always enough Tivalry between the first and second cities of America so that when the two clash in any field of sports, New York will back its man or men 1o the limit and Chicago will do like- wise.

New York got all steamed up a little over a year ago over Jimmy McLarnin’s _chance of putting the K. O. on Champion Mandell. New York had seen Jimmy knock out Sid Terris in a minute or two, and believed that Mandell wasn't much of a champion because he was so 1arely, if ever, seen in action.

Ex-feather- weight Champion Canzoneri won his title by defeating Benny Bass in New York February 10, 1928. and lost it by a close decision to Andre Routis of France September 28 of the same vear. The best fighting that the popu- lar little Brooklyn scrapper has ex- hibited this year was in his bout with Ignacio Fernandez in New York June 4. In easily conquering the man who had knocked out Al Singer, Tony displayed the most brilllant brand of fighting he ever showed. If he can box as brilliantly and hit as hard in his fight August 2 in Chicago, he should have an even chance of winning the coveted light- weight title. VIRGINIA A. C. NINE LISTS EASTERN A. A.

HE next big tournament stand of Horton Smith will be interesting to watch. After his brilliant Winter career he slowed down quite a little, due in part to inexperience in big open championships and in part to_ golfin, staleness. He has been overgolfed for some time. But he will have had a good tournament rest since the Winged Foot party, and he should be heard from in noisy accents. No one can take away from young Smith the fact that he has one of the greatest swings in golf. It is as close to perfection as that of any one lifted from golf history, present or past. He has shown that he has the ideal temperament, but big cham- plonships are hard to win in a year or two. Hagen and Ouimet broke through in a hurry, but most of the boys had to hang around for quite a spell before they could scramble to the main elevation. Horton Smith should be good for sev- eral major championships, provided he doesn’t overdo it and burn 1t out. A golfer’s nerves ‘are subjected to heavy pressure, and if part of the motive power is ever worn away it is something difficult to replace. Only a golf player with a smooth, flawless swing could have gone through the tournament campaien Horton Smith tackled from December to July. ' It wrs a murderous pace. The Athletics will never have to bother much about any extended slump as long as Bob Grove’s left arm remains intact. And one great pitcher can mean more to a ball club than the number of victories he turns in—quite a lot more. ‘Ruth and the Stretch.

A contract made with Humbert Fugazy by Arthur Bulow, Schmeling's original manager, calling for the Ger- man boxer to meet Phil Scott, is the snag in the path of the Garden forces. Oarey has been planning a match between Schmeling and Jack Sharkey for September, but the priority of Fugazy's contract, which Schmeling refused to recognize, and which re- fusal brought about his suspension, prevents the completion of the Gar- den’s intentions. Carey issued a statement several days ago asserting the Garden's in- tention to stage a bout outside the jurisdiction of State commission, but & clause in the by-laws of the com- mission was read which stated that the commission has the power to sus- pend any organization with a New York license negotiating with a sus- pended boxer outside the State. ‘The Garden president was not pres- ent at the meeting, but was appraised of the commission’s action at his office. He declined to comment on the day's developments further than to say that he would think the matter over for the next few days before announcing any definite step.

DUNDEE IS PRIMED FOR FIELDS FIGHT | Champion to Get $50,000 for | Clash in Detroit Ring Tomorrow Night. BY JOHN J. ROMANO. ETROIT, July 24—Floyd Fitz- simmons had to lay out $50,000 to get Joe Dundee to risk his | title inst Jackie Fields at the ball park here tomorrow evening. Joe has made a botch of the welterweight title and sensing the prob- | able loss of the precious bauble when he faces the fast-stepping Californian, ?2 placed a high figure on his serv- ices. It is only fiiting that Floyd Fitz- simmons gets the honor of staging the first championship fight under the new law permitting 15-round contests in this State. Fitz worked hard for the passage of the amendment and was instrumental in having his personal friend Jack Dempsey appear before the Legislature at Lansing to speak in favor of the bill. Dundee Is in Trim. | Dundee is in shape for the fight. The | Baltimore Italian does not like the things he has been reading about him- self, and the lickings he took at the hands of young Jack Thompson and Al Mello have convinced him that he had better be 50 per cent better than he has been in the last two years if he xpects to come out of the battle with is crown intact.

His style of milling was a joy to the fans who paid their money to see him perform. But after he reached his ob- Jective, the title, Joe changed his tac- tics and goes down in the record books as one of the most unsatisfactory champlons the popular welterweight class has had.

Both, however, are to leave their titles at home for safe eeping. Andre Routis of France, holder of the featherweight crown, meets young Al Singer, Bronx flash, in the main bout of 10 rounds. Singer has been staging a comeback, and a successful one, since he was knocked out by Ignacio Pernander. the Pili- pino, and may outpoint the French- man. Routis has been beaten by Honeyboy Finnegan, Jake Zeramby and Tony Canzoneri in mnon-titular bouts. The Frenchman apparently does his best fighting when there is something at stake. In the 10-round semi-final, Mushy Callahan, the junior welterweight champion, engages Jack (Kid) Berg of England, a lightweight who caught the fancy of New York's fans after he had beaten Bruce Flowers in two hectic battles. Stanislaus Loayza of Chile, and Joey Medill of Chicago, lightweights, are matched in the opening 10- rounder, SOUTHEAST ATHLETES COMPETE TOMORROW Athletes representing 11 playgrounds will compete in the Southeast Confer- ence track meet to be held tomorrow afterncon at Virginia avenue play- ground starting at 2:30 o'clock.
