SPORTS. Champ’s Advice Not for Boxers By the Associated Press. ]VIEMPHIS, Tenn, August 23— James J. Braddock, heavy- weight boxing champion, here for an exhibition bout, looked up the boys “on relief.” Recalling his own financial trou- bles of not so long ago, he said in a brief speech at the Transient Bu- T In the prize-fight arena, if a man is down too long he is out.

W‘HO is the fastest man among the 44 former college stars now drill- ing for the game against the Bears? Coaches Spears and Madigan staged | & shuttle relay race to decide that question Monday morning. The speed- iest player over 100 yards was Al Nichellini, the St. Mary’s College half- back. Nichellini can run the centwry in 0:09.7 in track togs and around 10 flat in foot ball trappings. Weighing 205, the galloping Gael is no set-up for any tackler. The second fastest man among the All-Stars is Kostka, and then come “Cotton” Warburton of Southern California, Bill Shepherd of Western Maryland and Don Hutson, the Alabama end. Among the inside linemen Bill Bevan, Minnesota, and | George Barclay of North Carolina are | the fleet feet.

They were given a rare treat in the Joe Savoldi- Jack Donovan feature. Savoldi threw Referee Benny Bortnick at Donovan, knocking Jack off his feet. Then while Bortnick was trying to get his bearings, Savoldi leaped upon Donovan and got a decision after the referee came to. This so incensed Donovan that he dropped the referee with a neat right, the crowd went into an uproar, a bottle thrown from the upper stand crashed near the ring and the law stepped in. It was a grand brawl. It came right on top of another, in which Fred Grobmier and Dick Raines figured. Grobmier, who had substituted for Hans Kampfer in the semi-final after winning over Floyd Marshall in & preliminary, became too ruffianly in his tactics for Raines. So the Texas cowboy grabbed & vacuum water bottle from the radio announcer’s table and let fly with it at Grobmier’s head. Glass splattered over the ring. Grobmier Wields Chair. - * Gmxm retrieved the remains of the bottle and fired it back at Raines as the latter dashed from the ring. Grobmier pursued, picked up a chair and hurled it against the back of the fleeing Raines. This brought the gore—and the law. Finally pacified, the two returned to the ring to wrestle to a draw. Most peaceful of the bouts was that in which Silent Abbott tossed Dobie Osborn. The silent one used only 4% minutes to get the fall. PUGET WINS GOLF TITLE.

FIND MAX BAER'S HANDS ARE SOUND in Fine Trim—~Louis Bout Set for September 24. EW YORK, August 23.—Max Baer, who used to be the champion of all the heavy- weights, will have to think up some new alibi if he loses to Joe Louis next month. When the former cham- plon accompanied his brother Buddy to the weighing-in ceremonies at the State Building yesterday the commis- sioners ushered him into a private room and had a quintet of physicians examine his hands, which, he said, were in poor condition when he fought 50 miserably against Jim Braddock in June. ‘Three of the physicians pulled and tugged at the hands in question as the commissioners, Gen. John J. Phelan, Bill Brown and D. Walker Wear, and a horde of newspaper men watched. Then the other doctors wheeled over an X-ray machine and took pictures of Max's weapons. The three doctors issued & report that Baer was in mag- nificent physical condition, with/ “nervous condition very good and all reflexes responding perfectly.” Mike Jacobs of the Twentieth Cen- tury Sporting Club smiled and imme- diately officially admitted that Baer will face undefeated Louis at the Yan- kee Stadium Tuesday, September 24. Mike has scaled the house for a gross gate in excess of $700,000, and many optimistic critics believe the fight will do a lot better than that. The tickets will be priced at $3.30, $7.70, $11.10, $16.50 and $25. SO e LOUIS SHOW STIRS FANS Heavy Demand for Tickets That | Went on Sale Today. Interest in the personal appearance of Joe Louis, sensational young heavy- weight, at the all-colored boxing show scheduled for Griffith Stadium next Tuesday, is so great that the demand | for tickets to the bouts is exceptional, the promoters state.
