Postponed because of the steady | | downpour of rain yesterday, the wres ling card featuring Ray Steele and Tiny Roebuck is almost certain to be more | entertaining when it is held Monday at Grifith Stadium because of the sub- stitution of Kola Kwariana, the hair- less Russian, who, next to Steele, is rated in some parts as Jim Londos’ chief contender. Kwariana will replace Jim Clinkstock and will oppose Dick Shikat, ex-champ. | Kwariana has not looked up to snuff in his two appearances here chiefly be- cause he has had to carry ponents, Toots Mondt and Prank Brun- owitz, along. Themf%l the card will be the same. | Other matches follow: Doc Wilson vs. | Mike Socke, Dutch Green vs. George | Romanoff, Carl Pojello vs. Mike Ro- mano and Chief White Feather vs.| Tiger Nelson.

It was the sixth win in a row in the tourney for the District outfit. ‘Washington gained a four-run lead in | the first inning, but Cincinnati battled ninth at 5-all. In the tenth Cincy| went to the front, 6-5. In Washing- ton's half, however, Edward’s single, Waple's infield out, Simons’ walk and | Holbrook's one-baser tied the score.| Then Schneider came through with his bk"ll'le that brought the D. C. nine the title. Gladstone (Chief) Roudabush was ‘Washington’s mound ace. After limit- ing Chicago to six hits to win the first game, he replaced Tom Heany on the mound in the eighth when the latter became ill. Chicago gainéd a six-run lead in the first two innings of the morning match, but starting in the fifth Washington began to get the hitting range and in the seventh pushed across eight runs 1o clinch victory. - ol cocsosommunol o waoomo0oaw? | S el » | cecomommnto~0 ol coonsoomouon?

BY TOM HIS is an era of sucker money— and let me tell you that the smart boys in sports have their To you and me there has been a de- pression. But the wrestlers and boxers have been looking through the other end of the telescope. Where we have not going to make those boys believe there has been anything wrong with the world's pocketbook. That is, the big boys in the sport. Not all of them, either. But there is gold in them cash customers—and plenty of it. No—then what do you think Jack Dempsey's doing back pop- ping over pop-overs? And why would Benny Leonard be working himself into a lather trying to take off six of those two dozen chins? And you can’t blame them, either, | with ail the loose change around. Primo Carnera barges over from Italy | with nothing more to sell than a load | have to picture two of our best ting t | of beef and a pair of satchel feet. For | - that he gathers In more shinplasters than there is in the Treasury this aft- ernoon. Well, then, more money than he thought was in any treasury. And Primo gathered in so much of it in such little time that he had to take time out to get back to Italy for a Jaugh. Which was polite and more gentlemanly than laughing right in our | faces, as does most of the athletic talent. That big Venetian boatman has been smacking the grandmas of boxing right out of their armchairs for over a year. And the supply seems nowhere near ex- hausted. And neither does the supply of sucker money, either. So up pops Messrs. Dempsey Leonard to know why they should not replenish ebbing bank rolls with easy money via the popover route so long as the good, great and gullible cash customer is in a loose mood? No reason whatever. If Schmeling can come to America and make a small fortune in two fights because he looks imported like Dempsey, why should not Dempsey | imperscnate himself and pick up what's left? And what’s to stop Leonard from ‘b;:n[ u:k‘d m.:o“t:e ring to pop over punch drunk lightweights who have floundered into welters? The paying patron is in a peculiar mood. He squanders his money on melarkey propositions in wrestling and | boxing and sidetracks the bouts that might be on the level. That cash cus- tomer still likes names and color. His idols never fade. And because he pays for name the youngsters in boxing are having a tedious time in coming up. But do not take Dempsey's comeback and | DOERER | serlously.

It is nice to be able to pick it so easily. |But we would rather see that job left |to the originators, the Carmeras, than men hopping from tank to borough beating men whipped before they touch | them. | And T am dead certain that nothing | |but easy, quick, emergency money | would make either Dempsey or L«m-} ard play for sucker money.
