S PORTS. THE EVE G STAR, WASHINGTON, Strongest Field of Amateur Boxers Ever Asse D. €, WEDNESDAY, NEARLY 50 SEEK DISTRICT TITLES| Olympic Club and J. C. C. Are Hot Favorites to Win Team Honors. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. UNNING for the most coveted award to be gained in the realm of Washington ama- teur boxing, the strongest flé1d of simon-pure mitt slingers ever assembled locally will open the sec- ond annual District A. A. U. Golden Gloves quest tonight, with the new Olympic Club and the Jewish Com- munity Center ranking as favorites to win the team championship. Nearly half a hundred youngsters will lay their chins on the line in the three-day tournament opening to- night at Catholic University. With one of the eight titles and a nickel any one of them can buy a cup of coffee, but the incentive still is great enough to them to warrant general prediction that competition will match any to be seen this year, whether in amateur, collegiate or ring | With the largest team entry—16 boxers in each of the divisions rang- ing from 112 pounds to \m.)m“!d‘ weight—the Olympic Club rules a slight favorite over the Jewish Com- munity Center, which will be repre- sented by only six battlers. Each, however, is included among the out- standing favorites. Firing will begin at 8:15 nrlnck with 16 five-round battles scheduled. | Admission charges will range from | 25 cents to 85 %n K Welters Attract Interest. ITH 10 scrappers entered, chief ‘/&/ interest is centered around the | welterweight division, which wil find the 1934 middleweight enter- ing the scrap as a slight favorite. Steve Thompson of the Olympic Club, one of the sensations of last vear’s tournament when he whipped a formidable fieild in the 160-pound ~lass, will shed v ‘ght and seek the 147-pound crown .ut, at best, Steve s only a slight cheice. A few weeks a¥o Bobby Rawson of the Jewish Community Center seemingly scored a decision over Steve in an amateur card at the auditorium only to see Thompson get the duke. Rawson will be among Steve’s chief rivals. megh- ton Allen of the Northeast Boys' and Eddie Peruzzi of No. § Prermcl Boys’ Club also are rated in the first flight of welterweight contenders. The middleweight crown which Thompson vacated has attracted the | number will of aspirants. seek laurels next largest Eight youngsters in this division FOR 15 ROUNDERS \Tells Callfcrma Solons It Offers Title Go Chance. | May Get Action. Willie Feary of the Olympic Club, ! one of last vear's tourney standouts, although he missed the lightweight titlé, will be a slight choice in the 135-pound class, which has drawn seven contenders, and Lou Gevinson, another Olympic Club battler, will step into the 126-pound whirl as a favorite. Gevinson, however, will run into opposition provided by several scrappers of known ability, namely, Billy and Joe Tardugno, Harry Cec- chini and Billy Bragg. Cox Ts Hea y Choice. HE 112-pound class seems a wide- l open race, but either the Olym- pic Club or the Jewish Com- munity Center will gain a point in the 118-pound class for the reason that only these two clubs will be rep- | resented. George Pickeral, champion | of the 112-pounders last year, and Eddie Saugstead will fight for Olym- pic, while Henry Peterson will carry the J. C. C. banner. The title might well go to any one bf the trio. An identical trio will compete for light-heavyweight laurels, but in this battle the Jewish Community Cen- ter's representative, be & hot favorite, The Olympics will try to stop Cox with Louis Scarlatines and Ollie Haggard. Next to the welterweight battle the heavyweight scrap is likely to at- tract most attention. Dick Strickler, brother of the old “Terminal Bulldog,” | Billy Strickler is well liked as the J. C. C. ace, and Robert Coughlin of Olympic has his followers, but a late entry, Kirkwood Burke, may the favorife. A veteran of amateur | boxing though a youngster in years, Burke can take the crown according to many. No. 5 Boys' Club is a fourth heavy- weight contender and a formidable scrapper. too. Pairings were to be announced late this afternoon following weighing-in ceremonies at Catholic University.

Allen, Van Atta Uncertain. HE biggest disappointments of 1934 were Johnny Allen and uss Van Aita. Both have yet to prove they can come back. Allen’s arm still is uncertain. Johnny Broaca of Yale, who won 12 games with a late start, and Jimmie Deshong are assured starting assignments. Johnny Murphy, the Fordham alumnus, will be the No. 1 relief man. Two products of the Newark farm may found out the staff. They are 260-pound Walter Brown, right hander, who topped the International League pitchers last year, and Vito Tamulis, southpaw and former Bos- ton school boy wonder; Cliff Meiton, 20 years old and 6 feet 4} inches tall, won, only six games for Baltimore last year, losing 20, but he is con- sidered & flrst-mte prospect FLEET WINGS TO VISIT.

THINKSOMAHONEY HAS JOB ON HANDS Zaharias Feels Grobmier Will Take Fall From Irish Sensation. HILE Jim Browning, Ray Steele and several other well-known rasslers readily concede thet Danno O'Ma- honey is the reigning sensation of the mat game, and some go so far as to predict that the County Cork Irish- man eventually will win what laugh- ingly is called the world title, at least one prominent growler thinks well of Fred Grobmier's chances in tomor- row’s two-out-of-three-falls exhibition at the Washington Auditorium. George Zaharias isn't picking Grob- mier to win, of course, but the hefty Greek, who meets Tor Johanson in a one-fall special exhibition, concedes the thin Ipwan an excellent chance of taking one of the falls “Jim Londos made the mistake of taking Grobmier too lightly a couple of years back,” Zaharias reveals, “and the result was that Fred dealt Jimmy one of the finest lacings he ever re- ceived, even though he managd to re- tain his title.” Zaharias doesn’'t think O'Mahoney is meeting the best opponent available however. Modestly, George also reveals that next to O'Mahoney and himself, Grobmier is the next best man on | the card. l Rudy Dusek facés Abe Goldberg and Andy Rascher will meet John Katan in 30-minute matches.

WO local colleges, Catholie University and Georgetown, will be represented in the Knights of Columbus indoor | games in New York this week end, it has been announced by Coaches Dorsey Griffith of the Brookland | school and Jim Mulligan of the Hilltop. | Each will send two runners, and of | the quartet only one is not a freshman. Doug Hanks and Ed Brown, members of the Georgetown freshman relay team which already holds two records, will represent the Hoyas, Hanks com- peting in the 1,000-yard handicap and Brown running in the 600-yard event from scratch. Griffith will take Howard Walker, who ran so successfully in the West Virginia meet several weeks ago, and Bill Lajousky to the games. There also i1s a possibility that the Cardinal | coach will enter a relay team in the . but t still is indefinite. Griffith has stated that it all depends on the sho of the quartet he has selected tentatively in the final prac- tice tomorrow afternoon. a | Walker Great Prospect. N THE West Virginia games Walker took second place in the 70-yard dash, barely being beaten by | Fleming of the University of Pitts- burgh. The fact that Walker had been in training for little over a week | leads Griffith to believe that the ex- cellent time turned in by the Cardi- | nal sprinter in competition with, the | Pitt flash may bring Walker in ahead of the field this week. Walker has been practicing daily since the West Virginia meet and on severil occa- sions has lowered the mark he rang up at West Virginia A freshman, Walker is rated by Griffith as the best first-year track candidate ever to come under his coaching, but track is not the only accomplishment of the youngster. As a member of the vearling foot ball backfield last year, Walker gave prom- ise of winning a varsity berth next Fall. Like Walker, Lajousky is & foot ball player. He played regular guard with the grid team last year and has been a member of the Cardinal track team for the last three years. OFFERS FIGHTERS BONUS Ahearn Dangles an Extra $10 for Preliminary Star.
