Sarron and Rivers Are Keen for Their Scrap Tomorrow Night at Auditorium N CREAT FETTLE, | [om BieRer | OOZECONFDENCE [ @y | Donovan Requests Strong Referee for Feathers’ | Scrap Tomorrow. BY FRANCIS E. §TAN. ITH each camp promising a greatly improved scrapper, Petey Sarron and Califor- nia Joe Rivers rested from the rigors of hard training sessions today, primed for a 10-round return engagement tomorrow at the Wash- ington Auditorium that may establish & new high for local fistic thrills. Pilots of both featherweights fairly oozed confidence as the diminutive rivals—the gyrating Syrian, Sarron, and the swarthy, hard-hitting Mexi- can, Rivers—hung up their training | gloves yesterday. Patsy Donovan, | manager of Rivers, injected a special not of confidence when he declared he will appear tomorrow before m). Harvey L. Miller, secretary of the Dis- trict Boxing Commission, and re- quested that one of the strong- | - est of the referee | force be assigned | | the bout. “When Sarron | is hurt,” explain- ed Donovan, “he grabs and holds, and unless the| referee can| *strong arm’ him | he’ll hold until he recovers. “I have nothing against Muggsy Morris (referee of the first fight), but Morris wasn't strong enough to break Sarron and Rivers the first time they fought Rivers can punch. I think he can knock out Pete. That is why I don’t want to take any chances of Rivers’ knocking Sarron silly and then having Pete grab like he did in the first fight.” Says Pete Wasn't in Shape. JIMMY ERWIN, pilot of Sarron, had CALIFORNIA JOE RIVERS, Hard - hitting Mexican feather- weight, who requested, through Manager Patsy Donovan, that one of the District Boxing Commis- sion’s strongest arbiters be ap- | pointed to officiate tomorrow when he fights a 10-round return en- gagement with Petey Sarron at the Washington Auditorium. Riv- ers contends he would have won the first scrap had Sarron ‘“not hung on too tightly when he was hurt that the referee was unable to part him.” | Petey Sarron, an answer ready. ‘“Sarron wasn't | hurt any more in that first fight than I was,” declared the reformed cowpuncher from Texas. “T'll admit | the fight was close, but that was be- | cause Fetey wasn't in shape.

When Sarron moved South- ward after the first scrap, Joe migrated to Florida, too, although his eyes were too badly cut to allow him to fight. “The reason,” volun- teered Joe, “was to watch Sarron. I saw him beat Patsy Severo, Baby Manuel and Frankie Covelli, and he looked good. But now that I've seen him in action so many times, I think I've got his style solved. I admit he fooled me in that first fight.” The supporting card, Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn would have you be- lieve, will be featured by Elmore Bezenah—don’t laugh—who is sup- posed to be a whale of a hitter. Elmore, hailing from New York, will face Mickey Landis of Scranton, Pa., in one of three six-pounders. Roddy Davis will meet Eddie Marks of New York in another six, and Ray (Kid) Ingram will tackle Tin Can Roman- elli. The gent with this fancy handle also is a New Yorker. Buster Wages, a kayo victor in his only local start, will meet George McCarron in a four-round opener.

Added to those developments is the anticipated demise of the Garden's elimination tournament to determine a worthy title challenger. When Car- nera turned his back on Johnston and signed with “the enemy” he sounded the tournament’s death knell, for he was scheduled to meet the winner of the Braddock-Lasky affair in the Garden on April 5. A late check-up indicated the Gar- den would be dark that night and, perhaps, for the remainder of the indoor season, because the circus moves in early in April. Some Varied Views, NDIVIDUALLY, here's what some I of the personalities involved had to say: Jimmy Johnston: “I don't have to name Baer’s opponent until April 15. Furthermore, I'm not going to say anything until after the commission’s meeting, Tuesday, at the earliest.” Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager: “Schmeling will meet Baer in a title bout in New York in June.” | Joe Gould, Braddock's manager: “How about giving an American a chance? I'd be perfectly satisfied to put Braddock against Schmeling and have the winrer meet Baer.” Maurice Lasky, brother-manager of Art: “Joe Louis, provided it can be proved he can take a punch as well as he hands 'em out, can beat the whole lot of them.” THREE TIE AT TRAPS Wynkoop, Marcey and Livesey to Shoot Again Saturday.

When the scene of action shifted which he followed with 120 and 127. In the last frame the Clarendon Cyclone missed the headpin, but wiped off eight sticks, leaving up Nos. 1 and 2. But there never was any doubt from the moment the ball left his land that his second shot was accurate. Davis had finished and Clarke knew he needed the spare to win. His count was eight. Davis put on a whirlwind finish with a score of 151. Only in the third game of the final set did he fall below ball competition this week, | Davis, who operates the Rosslyn alley. | 130.
