An appreciative, capacity crowd of 18,000 roared like a lot of small boys at a circus as the big, barrel-chested Carnera handled the blonde Scandinavian as though 269-pound I his 209 pounds were a mere featherweight.

He took the final count while on his haunches, shaking his head like a shaggy dog and pawing at his thin. He was lugged to his- corner without giving any indication he knew exactly what had happened. Big Boy remained seated | for fully three minutes after the fight under the frenzied ministrations of his seconds, who could not have been more impressive if they had rehearsed their part. Easy for Carnera. At no moment of the proceedings did | Peterson make any menacing gestures toward his huge, dark-haired opponent. Twice Big Boy waved his left hand in the general direction of Carnera, but he was back-pedaling so_fast at the time that it took only a light tap on the side af the head to send him sprawling to the floor for the first time. Thereafter Peterson spent most of his time on the floor, blinking. All told he spent 25 of the 70 seconds that the “fight” lasted reclining on the canvas in a variety of From first to last, Carnera manifested ability es a clown and showman. He bad the crowd bellowing as he popped in, attired in green jersey and sporty green cap, waving to the fans in general, shaking hands with those within reach and backslapping those clambering ‘within the ropes, with a grin as propor- tionately wide as his shoulders.

He went down under Fields’ viclous attack twice for the count of eight, once for nine, and was on t floor for the fourth time when the bell ended the third round.

BY R. D. THOMAS. TILL no strong favorite as the sharpshooters enter the home- stretch of the Howard Campbell sweepstakes tonight at 7:30 at the big King Pin. Eight go into the last set with a 10- game total of 1,200 or better, but none is 5o far in front of the pack that a big game or two by one well down the list wouldn't wipe out the margin. A new record for the 15 games is predicted. The present leader, Georgie Priend, needs only 606 mapes to tie the mark established in 1927 by Glenn Wol- stenholme. Paul Harrison needs 608, Joe Harrisor. 611 and a number of others are within striking distance. The odds are in favor of at least one of the eight with 1,200 or better shooting another big set. It may be that two men will be joint owners of the record. Max Rosenberg, with a total of 1,227 for the first 10 games, has named Perce Ellett to sub for him tonight. Rosenberg has a sprained ankle. If Perce has one of his brilliant evenings, Wolstenholme's rec- ord will be paled out of sight. The Stanford Paper Co. captain has been known to beat 700 for flve games, but not in championship play. However, nothing sensational is expected of Ellett, who is not bowling up to his standard of other seasons. He didn't bother to enter the sweepstakes this year on that account. ‘Max Is Thwarted. Rosenberg is bitterly disappointed to be a mere spectator. This is the first knocked the Far Westerner | ¢4, olas Darmand, did not regain con- sciousness after reaching the hospital. He was knocked out in the fifth round of a six-round fzhat by a right to the| jaw. The bout was one of the prelim- lnll:iu to the Archie Bell-Tommy Paul | t. Koppy, his manager, Charlie Moore; | Referee Sam Hennessey and Doc Casey, Darmon's chief handler, were ques- tioned by Van H Ring, an assistant prosecuting attorney, after the fight, but were not held. Ring, who was a spectator at the ringside, ruled that Darmon was the victim of a legitimate knockout. Darmon was on the losing end of the fight from the start. Koppy tied him up with rights in the first round and on the verge of a knockout in the second. The end came suddenly in the fifth when Kopfiy connected with & smashing right while the fighters were mixing it in a neutral corner. Darmon fell to the canvas and struck his head on the floor as he dropped flat on his back. Refe Hennessey, at first not realizing the condition of Da mon, began the count. Soon, however, he realized that Darmon was not the victim of an ordinary knock out and be- gan attempting to resusitate him. A phy- sician representing the State Boxing Commission also worked over Darmon, and when he failed to regain conscious- ness he was removed to his dressing room and then to the hospital. In accordance with the rules of the State Boxing Commission Darmon was examined at weighing-in time by a physician and reported in good physical condition. As a result of Darmon’s death, the principals questioned last night and Scotty ~ Montieth, ~matchmaker at Olympia, will be questioned again ay.

Bradley Mandley, with an even 1,200, and Clem Weidman, with 1,196, are the only members of the leading 10 who have shared the big purse before, Mandley winning last year and Wied- man being among the first three twice. They are in strategically advantageous spots. Joe Harrison, in third place with 1,233, will be watched closely. In the second set he rolled 665 for a sweep- stakes record. Until then he wasn't given a tumble as a serious contender. Hodges May Cut Loose. Not much has been said about Har- old Hodges, who averaged exactly 120 for the first 10 games, but if this fel- low gets up full steam he may set not one but several records. Hodges is the sensational type. Among his numerous ig sets in several leagues is one of 442, the best rolled by any league bowler this season.

Bobby Jones Calls a Penalty Stroke on Himself Which Cost Him a Championship. FTER the match at Pebble Beach in which Bobby Jones was beat- en by Johnny Goodman, Bobby A remarked that he guessed he’d “live through” the disappoint- ment. This led & well known star to say me: “Bobby Plly! tournaments different now than formerly. In the old days he was terribly anxious to win. Today. however, he plays for a championship in just about the same mood in which he would engage in a friendly match without anything important at stake.” I think I understand the keen desire to win that used to grip Bobby. There was nothing unsportsmanlike in it. In- deed, the reverse was true. He was just a kid, but he had such marvelous prom- ice that his friends and admirers were determined he should hurry right out and win a national title. ‘The situation was embarrassing to Bobby. Every time he came back to Atlanta wiithout a victory he felt as if he had betrayed the home folks. He wanted badly to show their faith in him wasn't misplaced, and so he battled des- perately for victory. Once he had won a championship things became different. He was able to be himself—an urbane and thought- ful sportsman whose generous and kind- 1y conduct wins the hearts of the gal- leries at national championship tour- naments here and abroad. A record of the sporty things Bobby has done ought to be made. It would inspire the youth of the land. ‘This brings me to the declaration of Francis Ouimet. “The most sportsmanlike action that ever came to my attention in golf,” said Francis, “was that of Bobby Jones in the 1925 open champlonship at Worces- ter. “Bobby started the final round four strokes behind Willie Macfarlane. Near- lnfnthe finish, though he knew it was going to be a nip-and-tuck battle be- tween them, Willie had sli and was playing his worst round of the tourna- ment. Every one else—and there were several who had had a chance to win— ‘was now out of it. “Undoubtedly he would have liked then to have had back a stroke which he had wasted in an earlier round. “On the sixteenth hole of either the first or second round—I have forgotten which, but it isn't material now—Bob- by pushed his dfive to rough on the right. His second shot was not partic- ularly difficult, for his ball lay in thin grass, but, on the other hand, it had an element of danger in it, for he must play out between trees. “He went over to his ball. There was a brief moment of preparation. The next minute the gallery saw his ball shoot out from between the trees and sail toward the green. It stopped just short of the edge. From there Bobby chipped dead and then sank his putt. “‘A four!” sighed’ the gallery admir- ingly. ‘He got his 4 after all.’ “‘No," said Bobby, ‘I had a 5. “‘How's that?" “‘Why,” he explained, ‘when I soled my club back there for my second shot I moved my ball. That gave me an extra stroke.” ““That,” says Oulmet, “is what I con- sider fine sportsmanship. There wasn't a person within many yards of him when he accidentally touched his ball. It changed its position almost imper- ceptibly. Not a soul saw what had hap- pened but himself. “‘However, golf is a game of Honor and Bobby is honor itself.

It wasn't that he regretted having called the pen- alty, but that he regretted having caus- ed his ball to move. “Fate decreed that Willle also should finish in 201.

When Mrs, Dorothy Campbell Hurd won her last United States women's golf championship she at- tributed her success to an explosion shot in the very first round match with Miss Marion Hollins, an explo- sion she dug deeply for to lay her ball dead to the pin. Mrs. Hurd recognizes the fact that the explosion shot demands power. So she digs in with both feet and takes a full swing. But she also knows that accuracy of striking with the club head is another absolute essential. That's why she rivets her sight H EXPLOOING HER EYES STAY ON on the exact spot back of the ball where her club head is to enter the sand. And she keeps her eyes fo- cused on this spot all through her swing. Simple idea this for playing an explosion.

The former champion is only 43 years old, but his tournament golf is 15 years behind him. Nowadays he plays only week ends in informal club com- petition with a handicap of five strokes, in contrast to the seratch rating of the day before yesterday. Golf Is Out of Mind. Instead of the birdies and eagles, his attention is daily concentrated on the terms of the cotton and produce mar- kets, and he has not even seen a num- ber of the first ranking golfers of today. His somewhat frail form was almost buried in a big leather chair in the customers’ room of the firm in which he is a partner, in an office in the Cotton Exchange. The Produce Ex- change, where he also holds a mem- bership, was a mashie ghot away, as he talked of golf then and now, with the emphasis on the ‘then.” “No, I do not play golf now, that is serious golf,” he said. “Week ends in the Summer I go out to Upper Mont- clair, N. J., and have a good time and sometimes a good round. Occasionally I have a real score, but the tip-off on my golf now is that I am apt to vary 10 strokes in 2 successive rounds. I think I have a metropolitan handicap of 5 now and I can still break 80, but I would have no chance now in a tournament. “There is one extraordinary thing about my game. In one respect I am | better now than in the days when I was winning a few chlmglnnahlpu. Then I was_uncertain about my woods, and in the most serious competition some- times I would have to resort to an iron on the tee. Now I can hit my woods better than ever and get a longer ball. “When did I play in my last national championship? They wouldn't let me play the last time I tried—in 1920. I think it was, Anyway, it was the year the amateur was played at'the Engi- neers’ Club and Chick Evans won it. “I did not qualify. I played very badly in the qualifying rounds. The qual g was over two courses, but one would have been enough for me. He Retired Early. “No, that did not cause me to give up playing, Business was claiming too much of my time for me to play good golf. I couldn't think about other things and score well. When I was a serious_contender I practiced a great deal. I had to devote a lot of time to 80lf to succeed in it and when my busi- ness prevented I was through. “Yes, I was in the early 30's retired.” He was reminded that Bobby Jones had suggested that he probably would not be a serious golf threat after 40, ““There are different temperaments in golf. but I am positive Jones is right. “Yes, I played once with Bobby. I could find no fault with his game. Hor- ton Smith I have never seen. “I went out to see Leo Diegel play. ‘What form! I thought he was awful w"l? his queer stances, but he scored well. “No, I have not played with the new ball, but I think it will work out very well. It was time to call a halt.

REIGHTON UNIVERSITY of Omaha has a rival to “Stretch” Murphy of Purdue, generally régarded as the best college basket ball center In height and scoring skill. The Nebraska skyscraper is Brud: Jensen, who towers 6 feet and 7 inches. He not only s a clever jumper but a good floor man and a keen performer around the bank boards. Jensen is rather unique in col- lege basket ball. He had no high- school experience in the game, but made the Creighton team as a sophomore and now is finishing his college career in whirlwind style. Last season he scored 158 points and was one of the dead eye shots of the Missouri Valley. Creighton, in the midst of a good fight for the Missouri Valley title, has two other fine players in Maurice Ackerman and Louls Troutman. Acker- man is leading his league in scoring, while Troutman ranks second. Drake of Des Moines, although not one of the powerful teams of the val- ley, has a clever performer in Lynn King, who ranked as one of the best feot ball players produced beyond the Mississippl last season. He is a clever hall handler and fine shot. ‘Washington- University of St. Louis appears to have the best balanced team in the valley- group and has a good chance to retain the championship it won in 1929. One Washington star is Harvey Jablonsky, who recently received an appointment to West Point, at guard. He was an All-Missouri Valley selection for the same position during the foot ball season. “Moose” Meyer led the Valley in scor- ing last year, but this season has a rival in Sauselle of his own team. Meyer ‘may go into professional base ball when' he finishes college. In the Big Six Dr. F. C.

Okla- homa has held the big six title for two | years, but may hand it back to Kansas. Missouri still is a little contender and depends heavily on Waldorf. Waldorf showed ability to play any line or back- field foot ball position with the same skill. Kansas has whipped Missouri, but Waldorf was on the Pacific Coast play- ing in the East-West game. DOWN T sporting way. Tunney, for instance. |of -what he discovered. rly, equipped mn‘lyplun otp the worl the game he retiréd, by force of will. I heard of Gene Tunney first through Billy Roche, the old referee, when:he returned from France after service with the American Expeditionary Force, in the Knights of Columbus. Said Mr. Roche: “There is a young man over there in the Marines and still in the service, who will beat this terrible man Dempsey and be heavyweight champion of the world; not this year, nor the next, but eventually. Remember that I told you.” I must admit that my first view of Gene Tunney in the ring was quite dis- appointing. He had a pink and white complexion and he bled easily. The look on his face was that of a zealous young Irish priest, and when he had his opponent in a bad way he seemed to lack the urge to finish him. Certainly he did not look like a formidable oppo- nent for Dempsey, the killer. It seemed that the ancient Mr. Roche had been & little too enthusiastic. Some have said of Tunney that he was a synthetic pugilist. There is something in this theory. Like many of the Irish, he was slow to mature physically. He developed himself by self-denial, intelligence and determina- tion. With each fight he improved. ‘The turning point in his career was when he first met Harry Greb, a freak of the ring and one of the hardest fighters in the world to meet. He took a terrific beating that night. Greb, ‘who swunig from all angles, who poked his thumb into an opponent’s eye, caught ‘Tunney on the nose early in the bout and fractured his nose and cut an artery inside it. For 12 rounds Tunney was swallowing his own blood. He was sick and dazed, but would not go down. Greb continued to batter him about the ring. At times ‘Tunney reeled and hardly could fight back, but he stayed on his feet. round after round, taking all that Greb could give him. The taste of his own blood nauseated him, but it would not do to let Greb see how badly he was hurt. When it was over and Greb got the decision Tunney collapsed on the way to the dressing room. He was faint from the loss of blood and they had to help him to a hotel room. Then the consid- erate manager, who had custody of Tunney at the time, said: “Gee, inu gave me an awful tough night!™ After that the r'mmler disappeared from Tunney's life. But{.l he lay in bed for several days, half blind and sick, Tunney was figur- ing on ways to beat Greb. He did it. He beat Greb every time they met after that until Greb, who feared nobody else in the world, said: “I'll never meet that Tunney again. He's too tough.” The Enraged Experis. IOME of the resentment of the suc- cess of Tunney, not ?‘le‘lly in !h? rize ring, but in th~ greater game of :emnx !ge most out of life, is due to the fact that he confused the experts. Now a confused expert never forgets and never forgives. If you show him that he is wrong, that makes him no l(m[!vr an expert. Still, it was not Tunney’s fault. He always said that he could fight, but none would listen. ‘While the experts were busily engaged in experting the fight between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier—the lily of France and what-not—at Boyle’s Thirty Acres, the future champion, who afterward, and not so long afterward, was to beat them both, was performing before their expert eyes. But they saw him not. ‘Gene Tunney was fighting somebody in a preliminary fight on that same bill. I cannot recall who it was. The Battle of the Century was threatened by rain clouds, so Rickard ordered that the main bout precede the pre- liminary in order that his customers would not have to face a downpour. The brief drama of the Dempsey- Carpentier bout was completed. Some of the experts scurried to their offices or studios.

BOSTON, January 25.—The slugging onslaught of Jimmy Maloney, Boston heavyweight, upset Armand Emanuel of Los Angeles in short order last night, giving him a knockout early in the second round. The fatal blow was a left hook to the stomach, which brought claims of foul from Emanuel and his seconds. Referee Jack Sheehan counted him out without hesitation and Boxing Com- missioner Eurene Buckley said the blow landed cleanly. Emanuel was taken to a hospital, but Dr. Bernard Devine said the boxer could leave the hospital at any time. Emanuel, who weighed in at 182 pounds, to 199 for Maloney, had a slight lead on points at the end of the first round. It was Maloney's twenty- first victory in a home ring. K. OF C.

HE LINE McGEEHAN. peak in any particular line there There are numerous discoverers of Gene After considering all of these claims, I have come to the conclusion that Gene Tunney discovered himself, and that, in addition, he had the discernment to realize the full value Temperamentally not a prizefighter and at the beginning rather physically for his calling, he became heas eight When' he had wrung all he couid from €ly and irrevocably, from a game that was more or less distasteful, a'millionaire. he beat the game itself by first conquering himself. He beat Jack Dempsey and He did it largely up to see what was going on. It was just one of those things that are used to keep the customers from becomin; impatient while they are awaiting the big developments. As Jack Dempsey left the ring triumph his successor was climbing rather diffidently through the ropes and hoping that some expert might look at him for a second or two. All of this time he was sure that he would become the heavyweight champion, but hoping that somebody besides himself would believe_it." Had No Illusions. | 'UNNEY was intelligent enough to have no illusions about the prize- #ght_business. That is why he beat the-game as no fighter before him beat it. He had such confidence in himself that he would have fought Dempsey for nothing in that Philadelphia fight. As it was, he got what was left out of $100,000 after he had paid his training expenses and divided with his retal ers, as compared to more than half million received by Dempsey, who was in the .way of being a co-partner with the promoter, Rickard. But in the second bout Tunney was the champion, and he played that role for all it was worth. This time he got a million dollars, the largest sum ever paid to a prizefighter. Even at that time, he was getting ready to quit the ring.. He had enough and he had othcr interests calling him. In fact, they always had been calling him. In the last fight Tunney was knocked down for the first time in his life. Had that been any other fighter who re- celved all that Dempsey could give on the most vulnerable point, Dempsey would have regained the champion- ship. But the will of Tunney and the physique that he had buflt syntheti- cally—as _they claim—brought him up to down Dempsey in a succeeding round. When Tunney retired they began to realize that he was one of the most formidable fighters that ever entered the ring. He did not knock them out with a punch as Dempsey did. But it was discovered that after they fought Tunney they never were much :good cl;uhrl'-wl;dvnefln mmg_hureb, heddh- g« ‘mpsey. ey, wante more of him. Sk i e And in the end they say that the fight game never was the same when he left-it flat. Perhaps that was his greatest victory. He showed up that sordid business for what it really is.

HICAGO., January 25.—Donie Bush, the Chicago White Sox's »new manager, thinks he has & new shining star in Smead Jol- ley, his new outfleld recruit from Sap Francisco. “He's a hitter,” declares Bush. “I have seen him perform, and know that he can slam any sort of pitching. Usually I don't talk much about a ball player until he proves himself in the majors, but if Earl Averill of Cleveland and Roy Johnson of Detroit can better than .320 in the Americap League, I know Jolley can do as well, and perhaps better. ) “They're saying that Jolley is not good fielder, but he isn't the worst. He has one of the greatest arms in’base ball and a sure pair of hands. He can come around. 2 Peck Taught Him. “Neither was Averill a great out- | fielder in the Pacific Coast League, but Roger Peckinpaugh made him one of the flelding sharks of the American League last Summer. During Spring training Peck would hit fungoes to Averill by the hour. The boy was am- bitious and quickly became a sure judge of fly balls. I think we can do the same things for Jolly with the same recipe.” ‘The new Sox recruit is ambitious to outplay Averill and Johnson, his teanr- mates on the Seals, who preceded him into the big tent by one year. These three when together formed the greatest single outfield the Pacific Cdast League own. During the 1928 campaign one of the three hit a home run every day for more than 35 consecutive days. When Billy Evans, general manager of the Cleveland Indians, went West in the Fall of 1928 he offered the San Francisco owners $150,000 for their out- field intact. When he failed to make that deal he purchased Averill. Detrojt then took Johnson, and now the Sox have Jolley. g Give Color to League. ‘These three young outflelders will add & lot of color to the 1930 American League race. Jol is one of the fastest men in the big show, and will a hitter than in is a fine, stylish hitter and one of the best center fielders since Tris Speaker faded. Jolley now will attempt to catch the fans’ fancy with his mighty slugging, and Bush is cer- tain he will succeed. The Sox manager hopes to land his team in fifth place this coming season. He will have a good outfield in Jolley, Reynolds, Hoffman and Watwood; & strong infield in Shires. Hunnefleld, Cissell and Kamm, and some capable pitching Lyons, Thomas, Faber, Henry and McKain.
