MEETS BOXER HS *OHN SIZE N HORN Twin-City Opens Tomorrow. Garibaldi and Steele Are Ambitious Mat Foes. HE boxing gentleman from Georgia, Bob Godwin, in- variably over-matched or sent against set-ups in his many performances for Washing- ton follt, will be given opportunity tomorrow night to show to best advantage. In meeting Charley (Trader) Horn in the Summer season’s opening feature at Twin-City, the Southerner won’t be called upon to give away many pounds as he did against Red Barry and Les Kennedy, nor will he be per- mitted to hammer away at will as against such mediocrities as Eric Lawson and Bill Schwartz. In spite of irregular success, Godwin is classed as one of the cleverest men in his business. An excellent boxer and ring general, he hits hard with either mitt and is game to the core. Inclina- tion to be careless has been costly to him. ‘Tomorrow night the Georgian, figura- tively speaking, may have an ocelot on his hands. The youthful Horn is deemed headed for the light-heavyweight throne once occupied by Godwin. Horn's famous manager, Charley Harvey, who has handled such ring notables as Tom Heeney, Seaman Watson, Jack Berg and Steve Hamas, believes a match with Champ Max Rosenbloom will follow a victory for the Trader over Godwin. ' COMPARISON of records darkens A the outlook for the popular Dixie fighter. For instance, Joe Banovic fought a draw with Godwin and later was knocked out by Al Gainor, colored New Englander. While Gainor was a reigning sensation up Nawth, Horn gave him a fancy shellacking. And Gainor was good enough, too, to come back soon after and whip George Nichols, the lad for whom Horn is pinch hitting tomorrow night. The light-heavies are down for 10 rounds. In the semi-feature, at 6 rounds, are Ray Bower and George Harmon, junior welters. In a couple of six-rounders, Doug Swetnam meets Sam Lucas and Max Kahsaway battles Cary Wright. A 4-round opener present Tad Lewis and Bill Bullock. Busses will leave the Annapolis Hotel for the arena at 7 p.m. Four bits buys a round trip. Tickets for the show may be obtained at Goldie Ahearn’s and the Atlas Sport Shop. '/~ INO GARIBALDI and Ray Steele, the take-a-fall-out-of-Londos league.

BY FAIR PLAY. EW YORK, June 24— Tommy Loughran joins Max Baer as a challenger for a fight with the win- ner of the Sharkey-Carnera titular contest here Thursday night. The Philadelphian’s out- burst was inspired by his victory this week over Steve Hamas, the former Penn State grid star. Tommy was a sorry looking victor when the announcer raised his hand. He was bleeding profusely from a cut over his eye and a deep gash across the bridge of his nose. . Loughran bases his return to form to a corrected injury to his instep suffered four years ago when he tripped on the stairway leading from the ring after winning from Leo Lomski. Considering the fact that Tommy has had 36 fights since that time and showed no outward sign of injury until he lost to Stanley Poreda last October, this explanation comes rather late. ‘The Philadelphian scored 11 straight victories and was rewarded with a fight with Jack Sharkey, who knocked him out. He lost twice to Ernie Schaaf and then compiled another string of vie- tories, the list including Max Baer, King Levinsky, Johnny Risko, Paolino, Schaaf and Tuffy Griffith, before he ran up against the thudding fists of Steve Hamas, NOCKED out cleanly by Hamas, he tried again and lost a point decision. He turned the tables in a third meeting and then lost to Poreda. Emboldened by a victory over Levinsky, Tommy went out to Chicago, where he outscored Isidore Gastanaga. Loughran points to a victory over Baer as entitling him to a crack at the winner of the Sharkey-Carnera setto. One important thing he has overlooked is the presence in Philadelphia of a West. youngster making a bid for Tec n. He is a San Diego boy by the name of Lee Ramage, who made his Easterr debut in Philadelphia last week and made a good impression, beating Babe Hunt. Loughran may have to take on Ramage next, as he will find Baer has first call in whatever big-time matches are proposed after the Shar- key-Carnera brawl. Loughran won't admit that his nimble legs have lost quite a bit of the speed which carried him around against the best lig \vyweights of his day. When a rative youngster like Hamas can hit him with right-hand leads and bristling left hooks, it is time for the erstwhile light-heavy champion to take stock and devel somet] other than speed to carry him to victory. 42 Yachts Start Long Trip to Gibson Island accident, James Burgey of Pranklin- ville, N.

Word from Germany indicated that Schmeling slipped quietly aboard the Deutschland at Cuxhaven, Germany, with his trainer, Max Machon. Those close to him here offered the possibilities that his romance with Miss Ondra had ended, or that his reception by German authorities had been none too cordial. Schmeling failed to heed the general orders of Chancellor Hitler's regime that all German boxers terminate any busi- ness relationship they might have with Jews. Schmeling refused to discard Jacobs, who is Jewish. LIGHTWEIGHT KING Ross Gets Chance to Make Good on Promise to Be Fighting Champion. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, June 24—1f Barney Ross keeps his promise to be a real fighting champlon he'll | have plenty of chances. No sooner had the spectacular Chi- cago boxer won the world lightweight title from Tony Canzoneri at the Chi- cago Stadium last night than he and his manager, Sam Pian, were bom- barded with offers to meet the jaunty New York Italian in a return battle for the crown. Promoters, grasping oppor- tunity caused by one of the closest and most disputed decisions in years, fig- ured a rematch was & “natural.” Promoter Jack Dempsey and the Chi- cago Stadium, which took it on the chin for approximately $10,000 because of last night's disappointing crowd of 11,204 spectators, appeared to lead the promotional brigade today in the skir- mish to get the fight, although Ross planned a long rest. September was regarded as approximately the month for the match. Seldom has a decision split Chicago’s boxing fans as the one that toppled Canzoneri from his throne last night and gave the title to the surprising Ross, a professional fighter of only a few years' experience. Referee Tommy Gilmore, who called it a draw, stuck by his guns with the assertion that Ross did have a very slight shade but that no champion should lose his title on such a slender margin. 'ES EDWARD HINTZ and W. A. Battye, who gave the decision to Ross by 4 and 6 points, respec- tively, vigorously defended their scoring systems. Meanwhile Canzoneri and his manager, Sammy Goldman, “robbery” and Ross excitedly accepted congratulations. A canvass of experts and red-hot boxing fans showed a slight majority in favor of Canzoneri or a draw de . “I was jobbed and robbed,” Canzoneri repeated with a wounded look on his face. “I thought I had won all the way. Ross is a good kid but he hasn't had enough experience. I want to meet him again—in New York—but not here. I'llinever fight again in Chicago after | last nightl'; X'xc_ubbery." Ross sal 'ony fought a at fight, but “I think I won euuy:'m " All Canzoneri got out of the match was & lost title and $30,000 in cash. Ross drew about $7,200, so the big loser was the Chicago Stadium, which denied reports that the fight had broken the new stadium promotional combine. “The Chicago Stadium will keep right on promoting fights and come back with that return battle between Tony and lop | Barney,” sald Promoter Joe Foley. EW YORK, June 24 (&) —Tim Mara, co-promoter with Jack Dempsey of the Max Baer-Max Schmeling heavyweight battle here and lessee of both the Yankee Stadium and Polo Grounds, set out today to acquire a return bout between Tony Canzoneri and Barney Ross here in August. Mara wired his matchmaker, Al Weill, in Chicago for the match, to open nego- tiations at once. YALE CREW IS SELECTED Lone Change Is Made for Regatta in California July 8.

But the weights and measures were almost identical 20 months ago, when “Little Jack” gave Primo a plastering. BY GAYLE TALBOT. EW YORK (#).—You'll have to go back a long way in fight history to find a heavyweight championship match to com- pare with the Sharkey-Carnera shin- dig in its bizarre characteristics. In some way it's fantastic, this return meeting between the cold-eyed sallor and the mammoth, slow-witted fellow who once yas a circus strong boy. It has more angles than a futuristic land-. scape. Twenty months ago Sharkey gave Carnera an unmerciful beating at Eb- bets Field, knocking the big Italian flat early in the evening and then making a picture puzzle of his fea- tures. If you were among those who sat at the ringside that night it would be difficult to realize the same pair are about to meet again for the world title, But they are, and this time the odds on Jack Sharkey, as champion, are shorter than 'y were in the first scrap! If one may credit all he hears, it will be close to an evem-money proposition by the time they enter the ring at Long Island Bowl Thursday night. It big Primo should win, he will be the first fisticuffer in modern heavy- weight history to take the title from a man who previously had dealt him a lacing. Another unusual aspect lies in the fact that Sharkey, in the first de- fense of his crown, faces the giant who a few months ago caused, either directly or indirectly, the death of his friend and stablemate, e A Known as Sharkey’s ‘copper,’ Schaaf never recovered consciousness after collapsing under Carnera’s blows. How will Primo conduct himself in his first fight after that tragic episode? ‘Will he throw those great fists of his quite as hard and will the memory of Schaaf add fury to Sharkey’s attack? The bacl of the challenger, particularly his ring history, is gro- tesque. Few who saw him perform on his first circus-like tour of this coun- try a few years ago could have pic- ‘:z\llrgguhlm as a heavyweight menace Then he was nothing more or less than the latest, the funniest, ‘foreign threat” He traveled all about, meet- ing carefully selected opponents and knocking them ever so cold. Some of his antagonists scarcely waited to be hit, in fact, and various boxing com- missions scratched Primo from their list of intimates. Yet today “Big Boy,” as he is called by the more imaginative critics, en- joys the very best of in box: ings’s select circles, and where he couldn’t box a lick in game's cleverest workmen, and many smart persons think he will win. It doesn’t make sense, but it's so. Carnera Declared to Possess Every Asset to Class Except Punching Power BY GRANTLAND RICE. OMPTON LAKES, N.

Body Attack by Sharkey Seen as Fatal to Carnera Champ, It Is Held, Needs Only to Repeat Smartness of Last Meeting to Win BY SPARROW M'GANN. EW YORK, June 24.—Jack Sharkey is capable of turn- ing in & good fight when he meets Primo Carnera here next Thursday night with the heavy- weight title at stake. A perform- ance patterned after the first two rounds of Sharkey's thrilling battle against Jack Dempsey several years ago would make Carnera a sadder but wiser giant. Two years ago the Primo shoved out his ram-like left arm for five rounds and poked Sharkey's face with every thrust. Jack’s thinking apparatus worked under full pressure between rounds and he wisely do out that a snapping, 1t flicking | R Ve | of the Itallan's shoulders gave him | extra reach and Jack for a time could not penetrate his rival's guard. | Bobbing his head and then shift- | ing quickly, Sharkey was able to get | under Primo’s leads and hook sharp- | ly to the body. A series of lefts | and Jack put everything behind a | right and Carnera hit the canvass | solidly. Another such cleverly executed plan will repeat the trick, and those who favor smartness against youth, brawn and heft will have to string along with the champion. Carnera has been working on a new punch. He leads just as in jabbing and deflects the elbow so that a then stride with this blow. It is a good one, if it works, and as the cham- plon has heen known o hecoms flustered when hurt, this strat is counted ufon to garner the t:&g for the big Italian. There is no disputing the fact that Carnera looks far bett m‘m?c“ ;.ruth. SHL:lb]Y.s sent in agal ‘oung ng, Geol Godfrey, Paolino Uzcudun, Jlmg; Maloney and many others before he faced Sharkey. Sharkey doeg not think he is up sary warmth his muscles require to keep up punching against a man outweighing him close to 50 pounds. Carnera is fully capable of wag- ing a good fight against the cham- ion, but anyone who thinks the atter will be caught napping is mistaken. If Carnera wins it will simply mean that Sharkey has gone back far enough to be beaten by a younger man. Sharkey will be in there ready to do his stuff and if that is good enough to turn back the Italian in- vader, you can look for a Sharkey- Baer battle in September. If it is not in the cards for Sharkey to win, Baer tvn have to mark time next bined speed and size still lack the punch that much smaller men have wielded. If Carners, weighing 262, could hit with 70 per cent of the effectiveness of Bob Fitzsimmons when Fitz weighed 158, he would be on top for the next 10 years. It may be that nature evens things up by holding the snap or leverage from a human system that physically out- classes any other rival make-up. In watching Carnera at work it is easy enough to see that his boxing has improved, especially in the use of his left hand. He now has a left hand that can both jab and hook. He has speeded it up, and he has more back o?en than he carried a year ago. His arms and shoulders have also been I ed up. mlgfxlv.l the ;;lct remains that with more than 260 pounds back of a punch he has done no great damage to such fight- ers as Levinsky, Maloney, Uzcudun, Birkie and others, who have finished both feet. \ onW'hen you look at the size of Car- nera’s massive fists, his tremendous shoulders and his oak-tree arms, which ripple and bulge with muscle, you won- der how any ordinary 200-pound mortal could take even eoé\e solid punch with- out being flattened. He hl: good speed with both hands. but the snap, the follow through, the leverage, or whatever you care to call it, still is on the shy side. Carnera’s Left. ARNERA has a left hand that will bother any one, partly due to the longer range it carries. If he sticks the leather out straight the re- sult is something like bumping into the end of a telegraph pole. Moving it into action, he can hook or jab from the same starting motion. And even if the expected snap is ab- sent it can do no one any great amount of good to have this much weight fall across head, arms or body. I noticed that Carnera’s sparring partners were badly winded and worn down after two rounds. He is too big to push around, to lug out of position. After their first fight Sharkey re- marked that he tried to spin Carnera and thought for a second he was spin- ning a truck. ‘When 262 pounds are planted on a pair of No. 20 shoes, nothing short of a tug would yank this mass out of position. 1t isn't going to be any too easy task for Sharkey to keep away from Primo’s left or to slip by it. He will have a much better opening if the Man Moun- tain starts rating with his right. But that left d 1s both a strong de- fensive and offensive weapon, in the way of maul and thump. On Being Outguessed. NE weakness that Carnera will have to face is the matter of be- ing bewildered at times. A fast attack, coupled with feinting, is likely to throw him out of stride. Being largely on the synthetic side as a fighter or boxer any unusual maneuver has him guessing and at times groping. There were evidences of this once Govern Heavy trouble later on in the toll it takes in_wear! . It must be s tiring job to tug and punch with Carnera from the tenth to the fifteenth round. Sharkey did it well enough two years ago, but he had removed a lot of steam from Primo’s system by an earlier knock- down. If the challenger is unhurt and fairly fresh at the end of 10 rounds nothing short of amazing condition can prevent a rival from being winded down the stretch. It Sharkey elected to gamble with a fast, skillful attack it might do & lot of damage. It might win the fight. But if it failed to produce any note- worthy results I doubt that Sharkey could weather the full route. The Barricade. T was interesting to note how many punches thrown at Carnera by his sparring partners landed on glove or arm. Here is the biggest target in the game to shoot at, but the barriers, or barricades, are big also—two big fists, & pair of big arms that cover a world of anatomy from chin to waist. Several of Carnera’s opponents in the past have mentioned these barriers with deep respect. They have stopped more than a few punches that were on the way to chin or stomach. His forearms and his upper arms are in keep! with his huge body. It will take some skillful planning to open them up and clear the road. The Matter of Condition. ORE than one expert seemed to think that the man mountain was too close to staleness—that he was slightly overtrained. He doesn’t think so, and neither do any of his advisers. He looks well con- ditioned, and he can take his share of rest next week. There isn’t any doubt about the keenness he has put into his work. This is only natural where a fellow is broke, with a fortune ahead for an hour’s winning work. He needs the money he can make by winning, and he needs it badly. This will be an extra incentive when the fight starts, but it might also lead him to_more training effort than he needs. 1t is a general opinion that condition will be the biggest single factor in this fight. And if it happeans to be an- Al g plon Giieiss GIL G doubly important. Carnera has been close to his sharp- | est edge for several days. There is the | chance that he might go over the top | with much more work, but he is under m‘:&n guidance which should know its stuff. As the case now stands Carnera is sure to be a formidable opponent for the champion. He has too much com- bined height, weight, reach and speed to be on the short end. Sharkey will find that more than 200 rounds of add- ed ring experience have made a dis- tinct difference. And if Sharkey thinks that Carnera is in any way worried over his easlier defeat, he is making a bad guess. Why should a fellow worry who is 24 yea:s old, 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 262 pounds, with nearly 40 fights in the last two years against Sharkey's three?

BY J. EDWARD NEIL, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, June 24—The most bizarre rivalry in all the fight business — the emnity of a white-eyed sallor and circus freak—comes to its natural conclusion, the battle pit of the Madison Square Garden Bowl on Long Island, Thursday night. It may be the last stand of the sailo:, Jack Sharkey, heavyweight champion of the world, or it may be the end of the myth of the giant Primo Carnero, the moun- tain of a man who looks like some wierd mammalian throwback to the misty eras before civilization. But whatever way the battle ' tide flows through 15 rounds’ of champion- ship war, the faithful, expected to storm the bowl to the number of 60,000, will lock upon two of the most unusual characters the ring has ever seen, cer- tainly the strangest contrast since spindley Bob Fitzsimmons, with the legs of a middleweight and the shoulders of a heavyweight, tackled the human grizzly, Jim Jefferies, at Coney Island 34 years ago. Around the 262 pounds of Carnera’s bulk, discovered in a circus side show in Prance, where he was bending iron bars across his chest, has grown a legend of invincibility that increased last Winter when Ernie Schaff, blonde stablemate of Sharkey, died here after Primo knocked him out in 13 rounds, ROUND that tragedy weaves one o{ the mnst‘spe‘ctuul:r of all m: strange angles to a strange . Sharkey owned half of Schaaf's ulg:x- tract, tutored him, planned some day to retire as champion and pass his crown along to the quiet, blonde young- ster, who, like himself, learned his early fighting in the United States Navy.
