Fouling of Carnera Another Blow to Boxing : Prince Georges Pitchers Divided EPIDEMIC KEPT UP BY GODFREY'S ACT Negro Appears Beaten When He Hits Low, Sending Foe Writhing to Floor. BY EDWARD J. NEIL. Assoctated Press Sports Writer. HILADELPHIA. June 24— Another foul caused a stir| Demise of Boxing Seen As Hastened by Fouls BY WILBUR WOOD. PHILADELPHIA, June 24 (CP.A.). —The Carnera - Godfrey bout in Baker Bowl here Monday night went “the way of all fights.” After 1 min- ute 13 seconds of the fifth round George Godfrey drove a sweeping left into foul territory, six inches be- low Primo Carnera’s belt line, and the Italian mountain slumped to the canvas, writhing in pain. ‘The verdict of the referee, Tommy Reilly, was that Godfrey had com- mitted a deliberate foul. The result, coming so closely on the heels of Sharkey's disqualifia- on, is regarded by some as a blow that will hasten the demise of pro- tessional boxing. Others take the optimistic stand that if the Queens- today about heavyweight prize fighting. | This time it was George God-i frey, the giant Negro of Leiperville, | Pa., who committed the foul. This time the fallen gladiator, writhing | in anguish on the floor of the bat- | tle pit, was Primo Carnera, the| Italian Colossus, and again the| faithful, come to see a fight, booed | and roared and shouted “fake”— | and went home talking to them- selves. The battle of the Behemoths, the two largest men ever to face each other in & ring, missed duplicating the farcical ending of Jack Sharkey's duel with Max Schmeling for the heavyweight crown by less than two minutes. Where- as Sharkey fouled his man in the last few seconds of the fourth round, God- frey struggled past the first minute of the fifth before he drove an apparently incapacitating left hook into Carnera’s groin. Merely a Repetition. From that second on. however, the situation looked exactly like the rubber- stamp ending that has been plastered on three out of four of the last impor- tant heavyweight struggles. Carnera writhed and moaned in the manner of all fouled fighters. finally was eased from his agony by merciful uncon- sciousness and was dragged out of there, ‘winner on a foul. In four of the most recent important heavyweight jousts Otto Von Porat has fouled Phil Scott, Scott has failed to| have a claim of foul sustained against Jack Sharkey, Sharkey lost on a foul to Schmeling and Godfrey belted Carnera low. “For this display of submarine twirling and grimacing the fans have Prid an attendance bill of approximate- ¥ $1.300,000. Last night almost 40,000 customers paid close to $200,000 for the bout that wusfl::led as the real test of Carnera as a ting man. His fungo hitting against ninth and tenth raters in a tour throughout the country was ended. ‘The charges of “fake” in his fight with the Negro Leon Chevalier in Oakland, Calif,, were to be forgotten in the glory of a huge, but genuine, fighting man covercoming his first real opposition. But, unfortunately for boxing, it failed “to turn out that way. Gahey. contributing an even 250 pounds to the quarter of a ton of struggling hu- manity in the park at the National League ball park, belted the vast Vene- tian dizzy in the first round, socked him solidly in the second, eased up in the third and went ahead again in the fourth. Carnera showed genuine ability to balance his 262 pounds on his amazing feet, despite the leather that bounced freely off his chin and buried deep in his body. He was fast on his feet for such a tremendous fellow. He was cool. but he damaged the Negro glant but little. Godfrey obviously was tiring badly when he let loose the low left hook after 1 minute 13 secongs of the fifth. Differ in Opinioms. - While the crowd booed and cries- “Fake!” rolled down the ringside, critics- up close were mixed in their opinions. Several believed that the.-match had been talked over before it“was put.on. Others could see-nothing wrong. Dr. J. Webb Vaughn of the Pefnsplvania State athletic commission said Carnera Referee Tommy Riley, ‘Wiener, commission, there would bs an investigation before the fighters were paid. It was reported that Carnera was to receive 60 per cent of the gate receipts and Godfrey $10,000 flat, although there seemed to be some doubt as to who would pay | the Negro. There was no question as to the low blow. Early in the fifth round | Godfrey. who had bzen punching short, | but with increasing lack of power, to | the body as the fight wore on, sud- | denly loosed a long left hook that looked foul from the start all the way to the point of contact. Carnera yowled, grimaced and then collapsed, is huge body shaking the reinforced ring as he landed. WEST VIRGINIA BOXER, INJURED IN BOUT, DIES WHEELING, W.

STAGG HELD ORDERED TO END PREP EVENTS By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 24.—Reports per- tion that the. University of Chicago's board of athletic control has ordered Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg to discon- tinue his national prep basket ball and track tournaments. The reports were started by an alum- nus, who said Coach Stagg had yielded and would hold no more of the athletic events which have been fought by the National Federation of High School Athletic Directors. Opposition to the tournaments, led by C. W. Whitten of Chicago, was based on the complaint they took high school athletes away from their classes for too long a period and made athletic re- cruiting of prep stars easier. Coach Stagg denied the recruiting charge and contended & week at the tournaments, Leld annually, offered more education than a like period in the class room. University of Chicago officials refused to comment on the reports, but said a final announcement would be made soon. HE old master still is the boss of his own niblick. Freddie McLeod of Colum- bia, generally regarded as the finest bunker player in the| world, retains his cunning with | that queer looking, narrow-bladed club he uses from the sand. Even though McLeod may be playing the rest of his shots indifferently. | and losing a stroke or two on the | putting greens, he still has that uncanny touch when his ball gets in the sand, which usually results' in giving him a short putt for his par or birdie. If ever any proof were needed of that fact that Freddie still is the boss of his own bunkered destiny we saw it yes- terday at Columbia, where we played a round with McLeod, Clyde B. Asher and Jimmy Davis, the long-hitting lad from Des Moines, who used to show his ful swing around Washington when his father was here as director general of railroads. To make the yarn short ;c'gct"e::t‘ it into once su sen- fiwflmy be said that in 11 holes of Pred McLeod was in exactly 8 bunkers. And how do -ou think he played those 11 holes? In about 8 over par? No, fellow golfers, he was exactly par for 11 holes, even though hl’n ;uwu in the sand no fewer . ©On 5 holes of the first 9 he chipped out of bunkers so close to the hole that he sank his putt for a par, and on the eleventh hole he visited 2 bunkers, chipping out of one near the green close enough to sink his par. On the seventh his poorly hit tee shot found the bunk- er at the left and still he got his par 4 by holing an 8-foot putt after an ac- curate agort pitch. = We daresay no golfer in the world could have put up the exhibition we saw Fred McLeod put on yesterday. Had he not been chipping out of the bunkers close enough for the putt, he might have been t in 42 or worse. cuAs it was he was out in 35. From a bunker at the third he chipped stone dead. he chipped close enough to hole the putt. The same thing happened at the fifth. At the sixth his tee shot was bunkered, but he got a 5, and at the seventh his tee shot was bunkered again, and he got a par 4. He played the eighth in regulation style for his par 3. but at the ninth his second shot found the shallow trap at the right of the green and he chipped out stone dead for his par 4. The exhibition was un- canny in its accuracy, and left no doubt | that even though Fred McLeod may be tired from continuous lesson-giving, he retains his magic from the sand. Unlike many stars of the first magni- tude, McLeod does not stand upright and take a big swing at the ball in the shallow traps at Columbia. He knows Club on Line With Ground in Drive BY SOL METZGER. From close observation of Miss Helen Hicks, one of America’s lead- ing woman golfers, one thing is cer- tain.

First it was Charlotte Boyle and Ethelda Bleibtry, then Helen Wain- wright and Gertrude Ederle, then Martha Norelius. Now it's Helene Madison, and it may be a long time before there is anybody else even to pair with her, much less supersede her. For Helene is only 16 and has just had one big fling at record breaking. Her next will come at Long Beach, Calif., in July, in the outdoor championships. Helene is the newest swimming sensation. Every year or so a new star appears—younger, faster and better than those who have gone be- fore. Of course, the varied lengths of swimming pools make numerous records possible—so many, in fact, there’s an old gag that if a wom- en’s swimming race is held without a new record being established— that's news! But this Seattle lassie is the real stuff, and Agnes Geraghty was tell- ing me not so long ago that she never saw a girl with such possibili- ties for record breaking as this 16- | —B Feg Murray year-old aquatic sensation from the Pacific Northwest. ‘Those who casually follow sports headlines and rotogravure sections will recollect reading the name Helene Madison, and of seeing pic- tures of a tall, slim girl in a bathing suit, who broke a lot of records at the women’s national indoor swim- ming championships at Miami last March.
