PORTS- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY JULY 6, 1933 SPORTS.” RAY Sfi[fi_ SEEN TEager to Battle Carnera, 1 ( ( | 1 f*Independent” Rassler May ' Take Champ Unawares, ! Is Grapevine Rumor. ‘ BY FRANCIS E. STAN. IM LONDOS of Athens, New ¥ York, Chicago, Elksville and several hundreds of other way stations, wand waver o'er the biggest and most talented horde of human pachyderms in the world, tonight at Griffith Stadium stakes what he is pleased to call the heavyweight mat championship against the most formidable of his scores of bi- weekly challengers, Ray Steele. A great deal in addition to Londos’ title claims may hinge upon the result, ‘Too long, many have insisted, Londos has been winning as he pleased over all sent against him. For proof they point to diminishing gate receipts in all sec- tors of country, least of all Washington. OVIES, not prizefighting, will occupy principally the atten- tion of Max Baer during the next several months, says the young California playboy with the yard-wide shoulders, but it is not be- cause he doesn't want to fight. On the contrary, Baer is eager to box Primo Carnera, but for the present he is entertaining no {llusions about his chances of winning the world heavy- weight crown. “T'd fight Carnera inside of a month,” the Livermore larruper stated yester- day as he dropped into town for his first glim| of the Capital, “but he's going to onto that championship for a while, I know. Some day, though, he’ll have to climb in the ring with me. And when he does—" “Max’ll knock him out,” supplied An- cil Hoffman, manager of the conqueror of Max Schmeling. “But, like Max says, it probably won't be soon. Car- nera probably won't fight Baer till next Fall.” Baer appears not greatly concerned over the expected delay, however. Maybe that's just his nature. Or maybe it's because of the prospect of his movie work, which Hoffman declares “is more e it.” As though in answer to this feeling, | lik reports via the well known underground grapevine route are spreading that an- other ‘Savoldi” may transpire in Mr. Clark Griffith’s ball orchard this p.m. The former Notre Dame grid star’s win over Londos in Chicago proved a . great boost for the -~iat game in that sector. Likewise a Steele victory to- night may prove a tonic here. Cer- tainly a typical Londos triumph over his most for- midable and osten- sibly feared foe ‘would not help fu- ture matches in- wolving the Greek. And when Jeems’ status bogs, so does rasslings in general. Steele Unencumbered. 'O TEELE will enter the ring, to use the R Californian’s own term, as an “in- dependent” rassler. By that the German-American growler is taken to mean a matman not connected with Londos or any other single mat wheel. Ray feels his reputation is established; that the quickest way to titular claims of his own is by jumping from faction to faction and attempting to inveigle wrestling’s several ‘“champions” into matches. Not too seriously is Ray’s declaration of “independence” taken, but appar- ently it has tended to lend some air of suspense to the match, the first “title” bout boasting suspense since the greek with the Horatio Alger back- ground wound up his 1931 series with Rudy Dusek—and grossed out of the trio of matches a sum running well into five figures. Best Game Can Offer. ONIGHT'S match is Steele's first I against Londos since Ray declared himself “independent,” but only slightly has it lessened, if any, the odds in Jeems' favor. Records show Londos to have thrown Steele innumerable times in the past, ‘although Ray may boast of two draws, both scored in recent months, with the gent from Greece. Win or lose, however, it's the best duo wrestling can offer. More than any other rassler to ergage Londos, Steele, christened Pete Sauer, has been coutstanding for thrills and action pro- duced. A crack semi-final, involving Rudy Dusek and Abe Coleman, two of the better grapplers, and a trio of 30- minute matches complete the card. In the best of the half-hour exhibitions Gino Garibaldi will growl it out with red-headed Pat O’Shocker, whose real name is Shaw and who is & Pole and not an Irishman. The others list Hans Steinke and Ivan Vakturoff and Floyd Marshall and Cliff Olsen. The first rassler will be tossed from the ring promptly at 8:30 o'clock. e ——————— SCRIBES TO FIRE AT CLAYS The Washington Gun Club will be host at a 25-target championship trap- shoot for sports writers next Wednes- day morning at the club, starting at 11:30 o'clock.

NHERALDED, Baer and Hoffman | id a three-hour visit to the Cap- tal but the 24-year-old German- Jewish mauler was not unrecognized. Readily spotted, Baer was followed by a score of curious spectators as he strode through Union Station, posed in & robot- 1ike manner for pictures, and grinningly answered queries. He's on his way, via a grape-viney route punctuated with exhibitions, for Holl where the Baer profile and clublike fists will feature a picture to be named “The Fighter and the Lady.” ‘The happy-go-lucky No. 1 ranking challenger was “tickled to death” by Carnera’s victory over Sharkey. “Carnera and I will draw $800.000,” predicted Maxie, who probably is re- peating only the words of his guardian “angel,” Mr. Jack Dempsey. “Carnera_as a fighter? Well, he's just big. His left is pretty good but he shoves and doesn’t hit. And except for the uEpercul he knocked out Sharkey with, he hasn’t got a thing in his right hand. He's no differsnt from any other fighter. He can be put on the floor, y'’know. I think I've got the punch to do it with.” Max was amused with reference to Carnera’s “secret” punch. “Gosh, every fighter pulls that ‘secret punch’ stuff. ~There ain't nothing to it. Sharkey should have stayed down a | while and rested the first time he went to the floor in the sixth round. Instead ASSECONDSAVOLD] ~ Baer Will Do Movie First MAX BAER. he hopped right up and walked into it. I was surprised a man of Sharkey's ex- perience should do that. “Guess he figured a champion should not take a count. Not me! When I'm hurt, champion or no champion, I'l t-ked- count and get 'im in the next round.” Ring and Romance. AX has a fresh and amusing slant on the ring and romance, which probably accounts in part for the deep worry lines in Hofl- man’s forehead. Asked about Schmeling and his chances of “coming’ back,” Baer ré- !p%‘lg!d they were “better than ever.” 2 y? “Well, y'see,” grinned the newest of Clark Gable's rivals, “he’s going to get married. ’'Course my marriage is on the rocks right now, but do you know that since I've been married I haven't lost a fight? “It's a fact. lost my last fight, that 20-rounder to Paulino Uzcudun in Reno. Then I got married and haven't lost since—in the ring. Believe me, though, I've lost plenty of battles out of the ring.” Baer’ “pooh poohs” reports of a new romance with a musical comedy star and another marriage. “That probably was_jugt publicity,” says Baer, “and anyway, 1 haven't gotten my divorce yet.” “It's a wonder he isn't engaged again,” murmured Ancil Hoffman, trailing be- hind the fast-striding Maxie. “But wait till he hits Hollywood. ©Oh, oh!" SCHMELING TAKES ACTRESS AS BRIDE Crowd After Civil Rites. Trainer Best Man. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, July 6.—Max Schmeling, former heavyweight champion of the world, and Anny Ondra, screen and musical comedy actress, were married in a ceremony at the Charlottenburg City Hall today. Their honeymoon will be at Helli- gendamm. A religious celebration of the marriage will be conducted later at Saarow, where Schmeling resides. Max, at the whesbof his own car, was cheered by a large crowd at the city hall. He wore a blue sack suit. His bride was clad in a rose-colored dress. The bridegroom’s trainer, Max Mach- on, was the best man. Schmeling returned to Germany from the United States June 14, after losing a fight to Max Baer. FRIBERG TO COAST LOOP.

This department, headed by an eminent dermatologist, was founded because of the prevalence of disorders caused or ag- gravated by shaving. “Avoid iritation, if you would keep your skin clear and free from blemishes,” warns the Skin Clinic. “Irritation lessens e self-protective action of the pormal skin and fa¥ors skin troubles. Be sure to usea sharp blade, because a'sharp blade is not irritating to normal skin.” ‘This advice, issued by the Skin Clinic, is based upon independent research and a nation-wide survey conducted among doctors and dermatologists. The “BLUE BLADE” is made to meet the irements of skin specialists. It is extremely shasp— 23% to 42% than other blades examined by photo-electric method in 2 receat competitive test.

Gillecte BLUE <@ BLADES A year ago July 4 I|the DOUGAN PUTS SNAP INBOUT, BUT LOSES 52 Von Heéden Is Nearer Return Go With Sarron After Twin- City Thriller. HARLIE VON REEDEN'S quest for a return fight with Pete Sarron was nearer an end to- day following his eight-round victory over Le Roy Dougan last night at the Twin City Areng, but the South- ern featherweight may have to display a good deal more than he did against Dougan tp earn the duke over Sarron, whom he once held to a draw. Standing inches above Dougan and appearing heavier, the string-beany Von Reeden barely eked out the deci- sion over the aggressive Arkansan in one of the most thrilling scraps ever staged at the Laurel fistic plant. Although Von Reeden was by far the harder hitter and cleverer boxer, it was Dougan who did the forcing. Von Reeden retreated continually and was reeling and groggy in the final heat. For four torrid rounds it was any- body’s fight, with Dougan making up what he lacked in clean punching by aggressiveness. Von Reeden’s superior height came to his advantage in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, but with a surprising burst of glove-throw. ing, Dougan rallied to all but smash the lanky Von Reeden to the canvas. Billy Sanders Stopped. HE bout featured Promoter Fats Cornell's second outdoor show of the season at the Twin City. In the final event, also slated for eight rounds, Eddie Burl, hard-hitting Jack- sonville, Fla., bantamweight, won by a technical knockout from Billy Landers of Norfolk after opening a severe cut over the former sailor's eye. Referee Charlie Short sfgpped the bout during first minute/ of the fourth round. Burl was leading all the way up until the time the fight was ml-hfl geuu narrowest of mm kayo first heat.

OSTON, July 6.—Mickey Walker, one of boxing’s great, comes to Boston tonight to meet the more youthful Lou Brouillard in what promises to be the best 10-round bout this town has seen in a long time. No title is involved, but both are former champions. Walker, who hails from Elizabeth, N. J., once held both the welterweight and middleweight titles and Brouillard, a Worcester boy, was once welterweight champion. Walicer is extremely popular with Boston fight fans although he has nct appeared here in several years. Brouil- lard is also an old favorite at the Boston garden. The New Jersey was a slight favorite over Brouillsrd because of wide experience and heavier punching ability. There are many, however, who place great faith in Broulllard’s youth and strength. Part of the agreement is that each shall weigh 169 pounds and the boys will weigh in at the office of the boxing commission at 8 o'clock (Eastern stand- ard time) this aftern Fights Last Night By the Assoclated Press.

ONDON, Ohio, July 6.—The Natlonal Horseshoe Pitch- ers’ Association has decided it is time base bal, boxing, foot ball and other organized sports were moving over and making room for sinewy-armed flingers of the ancient barnyard pastime. R. B. Howard of London, Ohio, second vice president of the asso- ciation and editor of the organi- zation’s monthly, Horseshoe World, is calling attention to ad- vancement of the sport in con- nection with anmouncements of a world championship tourna- ment July 27-31 at the Chicago Century of Progress Exposition. “Here is a golden opportunity,” he says, “to sell horseshoe pitching to the world and show the skill that has been developed in the game.” Uniforms Compulsory. LAYERS in the world tournament must have uniforms just as though they were in the world series base ball game. Shirts and trousers, or knickers and stockings, must be white, with two black stripes down the outside seam of each leg. Stripes are to be one-fourth inch wide and half an inch apart. Each player is to wear an em- blematic horseshoe sewed on his shirt. The battle of ringers and double ringers will attract the best horseshoe tossers in the United States, and maybe from Canada, Mexico and other coun- | tries, Howard predicts. Besides & world | title, medals and trophies, there will be | 24 cash prizes ranging from $300 to $10. Womien In on It. HE women, too, will have an op- portunity to show their skill.

It was only necessary to be careful to extract the nails. But modern devotees are more fas- tidious. They have strict rules on the size and weight of shoes, and the cur- rent issue of Horsesheo World has half a dozen advertisements extolling the virlues of “dead falling,” “rectan- gular body type” or “spin on” horse- shoes made of hard, medium or soft drop-forged steel.
