SPORTS. CARD AT COLISEUM DRAWS NOTABLES Gelb and Welsh Headline Program That Promises Excitement All Way. O presented Washington fandom will be uncovered at the Ritchie Coliseum tonight at 8:30 o'clock, when a scheduled 36-round card of all-star bouts is unfolded, including four eight- round attractions and a sizzling four-rounder. Probably the most distinguished gathering ever to witness a box- ing show in this section will at- tend. Attracted partly by the elegant background offered by the pretentious Ritchie plant, nation- ally prominent figures have made reservations for choice seats. rom start to finish tonight's should rank with the finest bouts ever staged in the South Atlantic area. Even the opening four-rounder, which sends Baltimore Joey Schwartz into | action against Pete Powell, Newport News featherweight, smacks of class. Schwartz is ‘a human buzz-saw and can be counted upon to make a fight of | it every minute. ROBABLY the night's high light will result when Bobby Burns, Balti- more’s pleasing lightweight, re- sumes his feud with Loule Jallos, Cleveland's up-and-coming youngster. | Burns was the recipient of a dis-| puted decision-over Jallos at Portner's | Arena recently. So pronounced was | the dissension” caused by that verdict, | in fact, that the return go was arranged | through popular demand. Jallos apparently failed to extend himself his last time out, figuring he could cop ‘“under wraps” Tonight, however, e will be pegging both hands from the outset. Despite the side-tracking of Antol Kocsis, due to injury, Dick Welsh should furnish rare entertainment in his clash with Miki Gelb, a leading contender for the world’s featherweight title. (OUGH outweighed by several pounds, the Norfolk boy is hopeful of ' defeating Jimmy Bronson's protege. - Gelb, however, is in great trim and ready. for some hot mixing. Shaded in experience and ring craft, 20-year-old Eric Lawson meets a wise veteran in Vincent Forgione, Al Lippe's light heavy. Eric has speed, class and punch, however, and may use the com- bination sufficiently to create an upset. Willing Billy Strickler may be counted upon to make a fight of it in the curtain raiser, but will be fortu- nate to outscore Al Trainor, another Lippe-managed light-heavyweight. AINOR, & 22-year-old with a knockout wallop, may find it equally difficult to stow away the game. Charley Short has been assigned the task of officiating in the Weish-Gelb and Jallos-Burns_tussles, Heinie Miller will handle the Lawson-Forgio up, Goldie ‘the Trainor-Strick- b%ut ;gg Billy Whipp the Schwartz- ler Powel Seats are to rémain on ssle at Goldie Ahearn's, the New Willard, Vic's Sport Shop and jpalding’s until 5:30 this evening, and tonight will be obtainable at the Coliseum.

VETS WL RETURN TORING T WEEK Delaney, Leonard to Engage| in Bouts—Fields Enters Non-Title Match. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 29.—Two great fighters of a few years ago, Jack Delaney and Benny Leonard, hit the comeback trail this week. Leonard, retired undefeated light- weight champion, meets Billy McMahon, tough New York welterweight, in a 10- round match at the St. Nicholas Arenz here tonight. Delaney, once holder of the light-heavyweight championship, comes back to the ring after a long| absence to fight one Phil Johnson, | Jersey City heavyweight, at Bridgeport, Conn., Thursday night. Delaney has done little fighting since Jack Sharkey knocked him out in a little more than a minute of fightirg | in April, 1928. From a competitive Standpoint the fight centers this week will be Boston, Hollywood and San Francisco. At Boston, Jackle Fields, welterweight champion, meets Johnny Indrisano of Boston in a non-title match at the Boston Garden Priday night. On the same night at Hollywood, Stanley Poreda, Jersey City heavyweight, faces Jimmy Flinker of Vallejo, Calif,, and at San Francisco, Young Corbett, Fresnc welterweight, takes on David Velasco of Mexico City. ele = s = PARRACK, G.

MACK on the heels of last week's Szabo-Roebuck tussle comes an- other match that will bring to: gether a pair of wrestlers obvi ously so evenly matched that neither will be & favorite Thursday night at the Washington Auditorium. It will be almost a toss-up when George Kotsonaras and Ray Steele op- e in one of the two feature matches if_the records of the last year may be taken as any criterion of their respec- tive abilities. Both lose consistently only to Champion Jimmy Londos, though Steele has been beaten twice y Jim McMillan. Kotsonaras is comparatively new to local mat fans, though a veteran of the mat game. For & while he had hung up his tights and performed as a tough gent in the movies. Then when the talkies cut short his film career, he once more joined the ear- scramblers, and since has dropped ver- dicts only to Londos. . The second finish match of the card will find Frank Spears, reported to be a greatly improved matman, and Tiny Roebuck opposing. Spears is a former Georgia Tech foot ball star, while Roe- buck won all-American grid honors at Haskell Institute. The trio of 30-minute preliminaries will contain two new faces in George McLeod and Paul Harper. Dr. Ralph Wilson will oppose Harper, while Mc- Leod will meet Benny Ginsberg In the other prelim, which possibly will be the best of the lot, Fred Grob- meier will tackle Cy Willlams.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, SPORTS. = BLAKENEY AT LAST - WINS A B1G STAKE [New Potomac Champion Near Top Many Times Before Crashing Over. | B | the Monumental City one of Washington's pet bowl- |ing events, the Potomac Sweep- Estakes, but in sharp contrast to the anti-Baltimore feeling that pervaded the ranks of the Capi- tal's pin stars during the Howard Campbell Sweepstakes were the :'ell wishes given Blakeney Satur- ay. Possibly no more popular victory could have been forthcoming in the Po- tomac Stakes. It was a signal triumph for Blakeney after a season-long quest of a sweepstakes victory. And that season-long quest, fruitless as it had been, may comprise the most | brilliant stakes' record in the country. Personally there was nothing against Blakeney when he went into the final block of the Campbell Stakes, earlier this Winter, in the lead, but the mere thought that an out-of-town bowler, although he was eligible because he rolls with a District League team, ap- parently was on his way to victory in Washington's premier stakes had local bowlers pulling against the Ogole. Mr. Blakeney of the hos-rimmed glasses was beaten by one dwckpin and it cost him about $300, counting the diamond-studded medal. ’I'HEN he traveled to Hagerstown, Md, to roll in the Cumberland Valley Sweepstakes and finished third, missing by only a few sticks. Two days later he finished 27 pins out of the money in another local event, the George Washington Sweep= stakes. Then it was recalled that he finished fourth in the Eastern Sweepstakes and missed the money in the United States Stakes by only 21 sticks. So Ed was popular both before and after the Potomac Stakes with the re- pentant bowling citizens of Washing= ton, who were glad to see the “brides- maid” finally become a “bride.” LAKENEY'S sweepstakes record this season is rather remarkable.
