U O SPORTS THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, W e Sharkey-Walker Fight Tomorrow Night Bids Fair to Attract Gate of $200,000 MlEKEfl]T{AWlNG lAl‘my Navy Club Is Planning To Hold Tournament in Fall CARD FOR BATILE Most of Ballyhoo Is Built Around Boxer Who Seeks | His Third Title. Associated Press. i By th to $200,000 worth of cus-| tomers, the promoters; hope, will pile into Ebbet's, Field tomorrow night for the 15-| round heavywelght battle between | Mickey Walker and Jack Sharkey.| If the gate really gets up to thatl figure—and advance indications| are that it will—Jimmy Johnston and the Hearst Milk Fund can| point with approval to Walker as the chief contributing cause. Most of the ballyhoo has been built ! around the 30-year-old Mickey, who has won two world titles in his long career | and now aspires to a third. Always & opular fighter in this district, “the 2umson bulldog’s apparently unequal struggle against a foe of vast physical superiority has caught the public's fancy. Much of Sharkey's drawing power in the past has been based on the fistic populace’s hope that he would be beaten. Sentimental Favorite. 1t probably will be the same tomorrow night. Certainly Walker, who must give away inches in height and reach and about 30 pounds in weight, will be the sentimental favorite although ex- pert opinion concedes him only an out- | side chance of beating the burly Bos-| ton sailor. | Both fighters have wound up their training grind in excellent condition. Walker, the one-time welterweight and middleweight champion, taken training very serious! has worked out faithfully Sharkey bout, probably the most im- portant of his career. Walker and his astute manager, Jack Kearns, think the | heavyweight crown can be won, but Sharkey must be blasted out of the way if Mickey is to realize his ambition. Sharkey, the 2-to-1 favorite, will| have every physical advantage. At 198 pounds he will cutweigh Walker by ll»; most 30 pounds, for Mickey does not expect to scale much over 170. Sharkey 15 & whole head taller and with a cor- responding advantage in reach. He is big, fast and strong and a dangerous hitter. ‘Walker's only chance of cutting down | the sailor man to his own size seems to lie in his punching power, especial- ly with his left hand, his endurance end his unquestioned courage. Great Interest Shown. | But those who think Walker is en- sirely too small for Sharkey point out | that Walker, as welterweight king, took | terrific battering from the late Harry | Greb, the light-hitting middleweight champion, in a 15-round bout in 1925. But despite the fears, in some quar- ters, that Walker will be no match for the big sailor, it looks as though the show will be one of the few financial | ccesses of the season. | ‘The promoters have decided that| there shall be no broadcast. | Heavyweights will appear in five pre- | liminary bouts, all at five rounds. The irings:_ Justin Sirutls vs. Chester | atan, Babe Hunt vs, Waliter Cobb,| Jack MoCarthy vs. Pavesi Presidio, Arthur de Kuh vs. Prankie Cawley, and | Al Morro vs. Tommy de Stefano. I THE INTERNAT HE Army-Navy Country Club, largest service country club in the Nation, probably will hold an invitation golf tournament in the Fall. Col. A. J. Cooper, chair- man of the club Golf Committes, to- announced that plans are under ¢ to stage & big invitation tourna- | ment by the service club late in Sep- | tember, probably about September 20. EW YORK, July 21.—Close The club never has held an invitation | event Inasmuch as the Bannockburn invi- tation tourney probably will be abal doned this year, the plan of the Arm: Navy Country Club to hold a big tour- nament is certain to find favor with local golfers, many of whom look upon the Fall season as the most enjoyable for playing golf.

The Army-Navy Club tourney, if it follows the usual custom of invitation events about the Capital, will be played on Scptember %3, 24, 25 and 26, and will have two qualifying days.

ISTINGUISHED service under every flag has won for Gillette the enthusiastic endorsement of more than a hundred million users. In Baltimore or Budapest—wherever wanderlust leads you — this remarkable razor blade is overwhelmingly first choice of seasoned shavers. This can mean only one thing —that Gillette best meets the requirements of most faces and most beards. Gillette quality is so apparent—so jealously guarded —that it is recognived by the majority of men everywhere. Workmanship is painstaking and inspection exacting. A Gillette shave is clean and comfortable. Keen edges glide swiftly and easily — never irritate or roughen the skin. that most men always demand the smooth- shaving Gillette blade. Gillette RAZOR 0-1¢-:s in foursomes with the Nassau system | tion for the District municipal golf champlonship, with the first 30. and ties to play the final 36 holes of the title chase tomorrow. Many of the starters yesterday ped out of the tournament because of the heat. Those who finished were led by John M. Downey, the .tall stylist, who shot a 18, composed of a mediocre 43 for the first nine and a scintillating 35 over last nine. Bradley H. Burrows, the present title holder, was in second place at the end of yesterday's burning round with s card of 79, tied at that figure with Duncan H. Brooks. Six players tied for fourth place at 81. They were| Ralph T. Bennle, George Malloy, Her- bert G. Dorsey, G. C. Bannerman, Everett R. Johnson and John J. Con- nolly. To the winner of the tourney will go the title of champion and a medal donated by 8. G. Leoffler, course concessionnaire at East Potomac Park. Mrs, Helen McDonald, star woman golfer, demonstrated her shots and her swing again this afternoon to s group of woman players at the Kenwood Country Club. ~Her exhibition today followed a similar exhibition yesterday at the Woodmont Country Club, where e showed her golf technique to a group of women and played a few holes with Arthur B. Thorn, the club pro, before rain put an end to the match. Fred Schultz, local photographer, scored a hole in one on the sixth hole | at Indian Spring last Sunday. The| hole is 155 yards in length. “Schultz was playing with Bruce Baird. | Pointers on Golf | | | BY SOL METZGER. | Bobby Cruickshank practices a stunt that may help you in getting | your drive started right.

GROVE, IN RING UPSET, DEFEATS SMALLWOOD Welterweight's Boxing Tells Tale in Comeback—McKenna Beats Kelly in Best Bout. IS S For the second time in as many shows, & District battler who was tab- bed as “through.” came back bravely when Harty “Kid” Grove, local welter- weight, outpointed Joe Smallwood, an- other local welter, in the feature Fort Washington last night. The honor of welterweight ehampton of Washington was said to have gorle with the victory. Two weeks ago Billy Strickler, who had hung up his gloves for many months, returned to the ring and de- cisively outpointed Joe Finazo of Baitimore. Grove's case was similar. It was a slow bout, Grove's surpris- ing boxing alone being outstanding From the first bell he kept his left hand in Smallwood's face and by the fifth round he had a safe point margin. Here Smallwood attempted to land haymak- ers but Grove only came back to throw gloves from all angles into Joe's face and body. Of the eight rounds, newspaper men gave Smallwood only one, the third Four were adjudged even and the rest went to Grove. The best bout of the evening was the Sailor McKenna-Andy Kelly scrap, Mc- Kenna winning an eight-round decisior over the Baltimore boy.
