THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1933, Ring Fans Keen Over Birkie-Edgren Go PREVIOLS CONTEST | WICKED AND EVEN Hans’ Mad Bull Tactics Fail.| " Rivals Were Spar Mates | for Sharkey, Carnera. BY FAIR PLAY. EW YORK, July 25—Hans N Birkie and Frankie Edgren are paired on a 10-round fight on Thursday at Fugazy Bowl. Fight-hungry fans are looking forward to this match between two promising heavies and, judging by their first Battle, staged as one of the preliminaries to the Carnera-Sharkey fight, the fans will not be disappointed. Birkie has & 10-round fight against| Primo Camera to his credit. He acted as a spar mate for Sharkey, while Edgren was doing likewise for .the Italian. On form, Birkie looked like an easy winner over Edgren. Soon after| the scrap started the German got the surprise of his life, as his rival, boxing with his hands hanging loosely at his sides and reminding the fans so much | Harry Allen, New JERSEY CITY, Buster Brown, , Jack Portney, 134, Baltimore, outpointed Emil Rossi, 138, New York (10). | NEWARK, N.

SPEEDBOAT REGATTA ENTRY FAST GROWING of Jimmy Slattery, avoided the bull- like rushes of Birkie and promptly sent | him back on his heels with =zipping| blows. i Blow on Beak Angers Him. | HE wallops were of the slap-stick | l variety, but they annoyed Birkie | and upset his plan of scoring a | quick knockout. A sharp left to -the | nose started Birkie's nose bleeding, and | then the fun started. Hans bellowed | like & maddened bull and tore after his | adversary with the intention of anni- hilating him in jig time. About this time Edgren decided to fight in earnest. He ripped and tore both hands and Birkie, ope with this sort of bat- tling, backed up and permitted the youngster to take the play from him. Hard counter punching was sll that gave him s draw decision. Birkie is a native of Germany. Unlike most foreign fighters, he did not come over here claiming a title. For this reason he could not work and made the long ride to California, where he did fairly well. As this city was closer to his home port, he made the trip back here and secured a fight with the intention of earning enough money to pay his way to the Fatherland. He went over beiter than he did on the Coast and Hans has decided to stay| here and make more dol Whips Local Favorite. B DGREN is a Wyoming boy. Fight towns are few and far between in his State. It so happened that PMorida was on the fght map and to Jdacksonville Edgren went, and made good by not only going the distance, but giving a local idol a whale of a whip- fl.’n‘. He made his way northward, but one gave him any credit for being a good fighter, in spite of the fact that he dumped over several good boys. The only reason he was thrown in with Birkie was to satisfy those in charge of the German and what he did to Bitkie has been told before. ‘Bdgren may not beat Birkie in a 10- round fight, but one thing is certain, the Wyoming lad will give a good ac- count of himself and if he is able to retain command of his boxing sense he will outshine his sturdier opponent.

SZUNG ONTEST Von Reeden Favored Over Dougan Tonight—Bowen Out for Revenge. APID fire mixing feather- weights, who seldom let up in their batfling, again are to feature Charley Cornell’s bid for favor as a boxing pro- moter at Twin City arena tonight. Having learned that the public caters to those busy little fellows who always keep on their toes, Cornell tonight turns loose over a scheduled 10-round route sure-fire crowd pleasers in Le Roy Dougan and Charley Von Reeden. Actual merit exhibited one of the finest “club fights” ever witnessed in this section warranted the re- matching of this duo over a longer dis- tance. In an eight-rounder on an all- star card recently these youngsters battled furiously from bell to bell, Von Reeden barely staving off Dougan's “garrison finish” sufficiently to register. Both Craved Bout. HOUGH pleased with that thrill- ollowers, who are legion, were outspoken in their belief that Le Roy could alter the result another time, as was Dougan. Inasmuch as Von Reeden was doubly ‘willing, the return go was signed in short order. Despite knockout rumblings circu- lated from Dougan’s camp and & gen- eral belief prevailing that a longer dis- tance favor the Arkansas battler, Von Reeden unquestionably will enter the ring a favorite tonight. The Jack- sonville boy’s polished boxing, ring ex- perience and general smoothness are points in his favor. In an eight-round semi-final of main- go flavor, Ray Bowen will endeavor to wipe out the 55-second knockout plas- tered on him Manley a few month’s back. early, Ray will be e-header sixes workmanlike preliminary boys in Sam Lucas vs. Harry Groves and Mike Scipio vs. Bob Lowry.

Va, July 25 (#)—The Athletic de- partment of West Virginia University, sued by the Fed- eral Government yesterday for al- leged non-payment of taxes on foot ball admissions, plans to make its defense a test of the Government’s right to tax the income of State in- stitutions.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MIL Walton Lesgue and their | friends returned from the first | annual fishing rodeo of the Disirict of Columbia Chapter, held at Tilghman Island, a very tired, but happy crowd. Every person on the | outing caught fish. There were large spot, hardhead, trout and a few blue- fish. At George Harrison Wharf was a mad scramble when everybody with a big fish tried to be the first to enter it for one of the many prizes. No record catches were made and no unusually big fish landed, the largest trout being in the neighborhood of 3 pounds, and the largest hardhead tipping the scales at 312 pounds. In our boat the honors went to Representative Bert Willford of Jowa. Sir Bert is an expert angler, but up to this year has done all his fishing in fresh water streams NE HUNDRED AND FORTY- | O ONE members of the Izaak| in his home State. He was not long finding how it was done in salt water and surprised all in the boat by the many fish he landed and the num- ber of double-headers he brought to the surface. He was by far the most effective angler in our party. (13 ST as we predicted last week the big red drum or channel bass are here again, on their surf feed beds, just south of this resort and in the vicinity of Fox Hill Levels,” says Harry Beach in a letter to Rod and Stream. He informs us that Ocean City’s per- ennial fishing fan, J. P. Wilkinson of . Z = v 1210 Ingraham street, is authority for the statement that the present run of channel bass is usually big and very gamey. Wilkinson and other Washing- tonians are reported to have had a steady run of luck, catching drum averaging from 20 to 50 pounds. The lJargest channel bass hooked last week weighed 61 pounds. J. Bond Smith, counsel for the Mary- land-National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, when not planning for the improvement and beautification Smith of Takoma Park; Cal sell of Takoma Park, an attorney in the Post Office Department; James J. Hayden of Chevy Chase, Md, and Lucius Q. C. Lamar, Smith’s Wt In five hours they landed over 200 pounds of hardheads. Bemjamin F.

Stansbury. the university's director of athletics, said 'm!fll the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation will pro counsel to de- fend the action. ‘The director revealed that during October, 1932, the mment paid $1,700 tax on admi but then learned that Minnesota and Iowa State had refused to pay, and that the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation had invited the Govern- ment to institute a test suit. ‘The association named Pielding H. Yost 6f Michigan as chairman of a committee to employ counsel to dle.le'ndd any such suit, Stansbury de- clared. STRANGE story is told by Bill Fithian, local angler, who said while fishing last Saturday after- noon off Hooper’s Light, located across the bay from the mouth of the Patuxent River, one of his fishing companions lost a hardhead. The fish broks the line and went his merry way. Five minutes later Fithian hooked a hardhead, the same fish that just a few || minutes before had broken the line of one of his companions. When he started to reel in he felt an additional ! ferk to his line and, low and behold, two other hardheads fastened them- selves to the hooks, one on his line the broken line. of them had two hooks in his mouth and a long line and sinker attached. Each of the fish weighed about two rloundz and Pithian said he thought e had hooked onto & submarine. These anglers went out with Capt. Preston Lore, who carried them across the bay to Hoopers Island. They landed 405 fish for a total weight of 715 pounds, all hardheads except nine, which were trout, the largest weighing two and one-half pounds. Those-in the group were Bill Fithian, Pete Bowman, Charlie Grifith, Jack Livingston, Bill Stokes, Guy Cowl, Bill McClure and “Zeke” Quertler. Capt.
