A—14 S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1935. SPORTS. Louis, Owens Give Boxing Show Glow: U.S. Alone Threatens to Shun Olympics @ Joe Won't Predict Round of K. 0.—Jess in Sprint at Howard Today. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ATIE BROWN, Washington's nationally known heavyweight boxer, sealed a beautiful friendship with Joe Louis, sen- sational young colored fighter of De- troit, yesterday. Even to the extent | of presenting Joe with a glistening | radio. But this week the friendship ends temporarily. For on Thursday Natie will pfickl his grip and head for Speculator, N. Y., there to do all he can to get Max | Baer in trim to whip Louis in New York on September 24. Natie gets this job because he | knows plenty about Louis’ battle sys- | tem. He should. It was not so long ago that the dusky heavy gave Brown | a handsome lacing in a 10-round mill in Detroit. Natie took a lot of pun- ishment in that bout, but at that ac- | complished something that neither | Primo Carnera, the Italian giant, nor | King Levinsky, the Chicago fish mer- | chant, was able to do. Natie was on his feet at the end of the tenth round. Max Wants to Learn Trick. AER wants to learn how Brown managed that. That mauling Louis gave Carnera in the fight that ended in the sixth heat and the De- troit destroyer’s two-minute finish of | Levinsky made their impression on Madcap Maxey. All reports from | Speculator indicate that at last the hitherto-clowning Baer takes this match with Louis seriously. | Max is more than eager to get a full | line on the colored lad’s fighting hab- its and Natie should prove a wonderful source of information. | Natie will pal along with Joe again tonight, though. He and the Brown | Bomber, along with Jesse Owens, rec- ord-breaking Ohio State University | sprint star, will combine for a broad- cast over Station WOL starting at 7 o'clock. Then all hands will repair to Griffith Stadium, where the colored Elks in convention here are sponsor- ing a 38-round all-colored boxing bill presented by the Lincoln Athletic Club. Louis and Owens, who are to be personally presented from the ring and signally honored by the Elks to- night, were overwhelmed with atten- tions yesterday from their arrival early in the morning until their late retire- ment. They attended the Elks' convention, visited Howard University, were pre- sented to the District Commissioners, engaged in a conference with numer- ous press representatives, went on the air, were formally entertained at a night club and completed the hen\) program with a supper party. Joe “Knows” He Can Beat Baer. WHAT little conversation came from s Louis during the day had to do principally with his forthcoming fight with Baer. The Detroit boy is su- premely confident he will dispose of Max by a knockout, although this time | he refuses to predict the round in | which the finish will come as he did before his encounters with Camcrn | and Levinsky. “I knows I can beat him,” Joe '.old the press crowd. “I knows I'll be in shape for the fight. Why I only weigh | about 200 pounds right now and Il be fighting around 195. I knows Il hit Mr. Baer. And when I hits him squarely it's going to hurt. No matter what kind of jaw he's got.” Some scribe asked Joe if he had heard Max planned to “swarm all over | him” in the Yankee Stadium battle. | “He ain’t gonna do that,” mumbled Louis. “He got sense.” Louis no longer is the quiet, reflrxng boy he was awhile back. His recent Ting successes have developd an atti- tude of cockiness reflected in his speech and dress. He goes in for glar- ing checks and flashy jewelry in attire | and wise-cracks in his mumbling way. Owens Foresees 9.3 Sprint. N STRONG contrast to Louis, the professional fighter, is Owens, the | college athlete. Modest, unassuming, the Ohio State speedster is intellectual | and distinctly personable. He tells readily, but not boastingly of his achievements on track and field. And | the boy who broke three world rec- ords and tied another in one after- noon last Spring has a great feeling | for his particular branch of athletics. Jesse believes the 100 will be rua in 9.3 seconds. He might do it him- self in that time, he admits. But he does not believe he has much greater speed in his underpinning than he has flashed. “I've been running eight years now. I started ¥ junior high school. All of this must have taken much from my legs,” he said. “I have two more years at Ohio State, though. Maybe I'll make that 9.3 race yet.” Owens does not believe any physical peculiarity accounts for the recent surge of colored sprinters. “I think it is merely a coincidence,” he observed. “Just that a group of us who happened to be faster than the | white sprinters came along suddenly. You must not expect us to keep it up.” Robinson to Attend Fights. JWENS was to run in an invitation 100 and enter a broad jump con- test at a meet at Howard University Stadium this afternoon, starting at 4 oclock. Bill Bojangles Robinson, ‘world famous tap dancer, also was to participate in the meet. He was to run backward 75 yards against two local sprinters moving forward over & 100-yard course. In a similar race in Detroit recently, Robinson defeated the great Owens. Robinson also will attend the fights tonight and be introduced from the ring just before the 10-round final between Jack Rose of New York and ‘Willie Reddish of Philadelphia, heavy- weights, starts. ‘The semi-final of eight rounds will bring together Tommy Cross of Phil- adelphia and Meyer Rowan of New York. In another eight-rounder Phil McQuillan, a stablemate of Louis, and Billy Eley, a local lightweight, will meet. Six-round bouts in which K. O. Clark will meet Tommy Mollis and Johnny Freeman will engage Bobby Green also are carded. Fighting will begin at 8:30 o'clock. PATSYS CANCEL GAMES.

I did not get as far down as Gunston Cove, but this place also is clear, according to Capt. Aubrey Shephard. ACCORDING to Capt. Harry Wood- burn at Solomons Island, fishing was very poor over the week end, but Monday the wind switched to the southwest and one boat of Capt. Lang- ley's fleet, with Capt. Alfred Hill in command, made a fairly good catch, returning with a washtub full of hard- head, blues and trout. All of these fish were caught trolling, even the| hardhead, between Cedar Point and Cove Point. Saturday evening one boat landed five rockfish back of Cedar Point, but they were all small. Capt. Woodburn says the fish continue to feed in this place and that he is going to try his luck with them by using soft crab, the same method used so successfully in the lower Potomac off Tall Timbers. And here is some good news. Capt. Woodburn esserts he will have ale- wives on hand for any anglers who favor chumming. There are no pound nets operating off Solomons Island, but they can be landed with small nets. One has merely to phone Prince Frederick 30-F-32 to have alewives on hand for your trip and they will be awaiting your arrival. This is the time to chum for blues. There is no better method of fishing. The same equip- ment is used as in still fishing, with the exception that no weight is used, and when a big blue strikes your bait, oh, boy! Ever heard of a fish named silver blow? It's a new one to me, but fish- ing on Southwest Middles last Satur- day, P. A.

One day last week 25 fishing parties went out from Reedville alone. Bluefish, the report stated, are biting splendidly in the adjacent waters. Dr. J. Elmer Paine, fishing twice last week in the vicinity of Herring Bay and West River, caught a few minnow hardhead and no blues. This week he is returning to his old grounds, Southwest Middles. ‘Wednesday I am taking Talbott Denmead to Southwest Middles for his first trip to these fishing grounds and fully expect to show him some of the purse neét boats operating thereabout. Denmead is chief of the black bass di- vision of the Bureau of Fisheries and a darn good angler. ‘The water in the Susquehanna River is reported clear at the Cono- wingo Dam. The water is shut off at the dam each night and also on Sundays. Good catches of bass, rock- fish and crappie have been made lately. At Quinby, Va., Capt. L. S. Corbin reports fishing below normal for the month. Northeast winds are blamed. Capt. Bryan Travis at Cape Charles, Va., reports blues and bonito striking. He said he expects plenty of channel bass around the first of the month. POTOMAC TIRE CO. 28th & M N.W.

WASHINGTON'S participation in previous national public parks tennis tournaments has resulted in champions before, but not in the 13- year history of the competition have both titles, singles and doubles, bezn brought back to the Capital. Bob Con- sidine was a member of the winning doubles team in 1929, but his tcam- mate was from Detroit. Welsh won the singles crown last year, but the doubles championship eluded him and McElvenny. ‘Today, however, Washington's pub- Ho courts racketers are supreme among the Nation’s public players. There are no better racketers, without | club affiliations, in the country. Just| | how supreme Washington’s No. 1| ‘ncketer proved to the many “best” | | players of other cities whom he faced is shown strikingly by the records of | last week's play, which reveal Barrey | winning every set in every match he | played. The same holds true, too, of the local doubles entrants. Indeed, | neither Welsh nor the Welsh-McEl- venny team ever was carried to a deuce set in the tournament. And so, when the city'’s most rabid net fan, little Felix Silva, held .ut | his hand this morning and said, “Nice | work, Barney and Mac,” we trust the champions regarded that expression as representative of their countless friends and admirers.

OTHER COUNTRIES SEPARATE ISSUES Hold Germany’s Internal Affairs Are One Thing and Games Another, (This is the third of a series of stories analyzing the controversy over the entrance of the United States in the 1936 Olympic games in Nazi Germany.) BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, August 27.—The international angles to the current Olympic controversy are somewhat curious, if not actually confusing, to the ordinary bystander. The political, racial and religious disturbances in Germany have had their reaction no doubt in most Euro- pean ccuntries. Policies of the Berlin government have echoed sharply i various world capitals. Yet the United States alone has actually threatened to refuse sanctions for its Olympic athletes, if German discrimination against German Jewish athletes exists in any form. The attitude of the rest of the ath- letic world appears to be that Ger- | many’s internal affairs are one thing, the Olympics another, The general | theory is that, barring world wars, | the games go on. They operate under { the Olympic Code as prescribed by the International Olympic Organiza- tion, not under any local rules. Ger- many, in other words, furnishes the site and not the influence under which the games are held. Rome and | Tokio are rival bidders for the 1940 games, the award of which will have nothing to do with the international politics or policies of Italy or Japan. United States Reacts Quickly. \VHATS the answer, then, so far as the United States is con- cerned? Why has there been so much agitation in this country, involving Catholics as well as Jewish opposition to sending an American team to Berlin, if the rest of the world isn't disturbed? In the first place, this country is susceptible to quick reaction in racial | athletic councils. They | or religious matters. Its organized | groups, everywhere, are keen to resent discrimination or anything that smacks of the raw deal. Based on accu- mulated evidence, which has been widely publicized, many Americans feel that German Jews, as well as German Catholics, have not had a | fair chance to qualify for their ‘Ohmmc teams. ‘These critics are not swaved by any argument that the cases of such dis- crimination are few or far between. | They stand on the principle of fair | play. They have been emphasizing it, in resolutions, in Congress and in insist Ger- many has violated the Olympic Code. The most recent instance cited is that of a German girl high-jumper, of Jewish extraction. Although she had an excellent record, one of the best in Germany, she was not allowed to compete in the national champion- ships since she was not and could not be a member of the German or Nazi “light athletic association,” which corresponds to this country’s Amateur Athletic Union. Up to Olympic Committee. THIJRE is also the case of Fraulein Helene Mayer, generally rated the world’s best woman fencer. She won the 1932 Olympic title at Los Angeles. She is of part-Jewish ancestry. Un- willing to return to Germany under present conditions, she has been at- tending school in California. She has | no intention of going back to her | native land to try for the Olympic | team again. There has been some | intimation she would be welcomed, but | that, say the anti-Nazis, is just propaganda. It all boils down, finally, to this | question: How far should this country’s athletic leaders go in shaping its | Olympic course or policy on the basis of Germany's domestic affairs? If it | goes the whole way, the United States | will send no Olympic team to Berlin. | It it doesn't, our representation is | bound to be sharply curtailed. It's up to the American Olympic Commit- tee ultimately to decide. and the best | guess now, from the sidelines, is that the A. O. C. will decide to send a team.
