'RE coming to Washington to earn our money and give the fans a show, not to fool the paying customers,” Joe Gould, the champ’s manager, announced when he signed the agreement for the exhibition at Griffith Stadium. *Jim Braddock owes the fans plenty for the chance that got him the title and’ he's grateful, all right. “Jim’s not the kind of guy to accept money under false pretenses. Yeah, | some of our heavyweight chflmpions have done that. But not my man You won't find Jim stalling. He likes | to please the crowd too much Ior that.” This will be Braddock’s first visit to Washington, but he twice consid- ered and nearly accepted offers to box | here while still a trial horse among the heavyweights.

And a meeting with | Buck Everett was all but arranged | when Braddock got a bout with Art Lasky. The champ is due here late today. At 7:30 tonight Braddock will be interviewed by Bill Coyle in a broad- cast from Station WMAL. Fight Card Promises Thrills, ‘HE boxing card, twice postponed be- cause of last week's heavy rains, promises to be satisfying in action, | color and thrills. Fight followers have been buzzing | over the Burk-Lipps feature since the heavies were first matched. Burk’s | supporters claim the superior punch of the former District amateur heavy- ‘weight champion will get him the vic- | tory. Lipps' backers bank on the greater experience and ringeraft their | choice possesses. Frankie Blair, Camden welter who | trounced Phil Furr and Roy Manley | here this Summer, looms large in Cary ‘Wright's comeback trail. Billy Land- | ers and Eddie Burl will renew a heated | featherweight rivalry. Perry Knowles | and Joe Doty, lightweights, will clash | in a genuine grudge go. Three times last week they went at one another | without benefit of gloves. { Colored boxers will provide the | opening numbers. In one, Gene Buf- | falo and Meyer Rowan, welters, will face for the third time in the current | outdoor season. In the other, Sid Har- | vey and Baby Kid Chocolate, steppers, will scrap. + Action tomorrow night will begin at 8:30.

BY SPARROW McGANN, EW YORK, September 7.—Joe Louls is like Jimmy McLarnin in many ways.

Louis cems: B at a time when the heavyweight class was in bad shape and with but a few fighters consid- ered good enough to give Max Baer & good fight. Jackie Fields, who avoided McLarnin at every turn, had plenty of good boys to fight and in that way evaded a match with Jimmy. The similarity of Louis to McLarnin is apparent in the manner they train. Each man is handled by a veteran of the old school. A great deal of em- phasis is placed on road work and | light exercises. Both men employ | mediocre sparring partners and pay little attention to sessions with the big gloves. There is a good reason for this.

The pay is too small, and a fighter with his future still be- fore him does not relish playing sec- ond fiddle to one on top. Pride Didn’'t Check Vets. IN THE old days it was different.

Joe's spar mates are a mediocre lot. Each workout is like a burlesque. None cares to arouse Louis by hitting as well as he might and as Joe piles in with every ounce !of power at his command, it is not | long before his spar mate folds up. Blackburn is smart in that he does not counsel his fighter to take things | easy by pulling his punches. It is a | bad habit to learn and one not easily forgotten when a boxer is confronted with the task of giving everything. Louis does not drink, chew or smoke. He does not care for back- elapping, and an outburst of enthusi- astic words from an admirer brings only & nod and a quiet smile from the Negro. McLarnin was like that. The Irishman knew how to smile, but it wWas & wry one when he knew the words were spoken without feeling. Louis Hits Fast, Sharply. J_OUIS glides in with the same ef- fortless ease characteristic of Mc- Larnin's early fights. He blocks and weaves without seeming to do so and strikes out sharply and rapidly. Louis is supposed to hit harder with his left hook than with his right cross. The same thing was said about McLarnin. ‘The left, being the leading punch, often got the credit for a knockout. As a matter of fact the right followed through so short and fast that it was almost unnoticed when the receiver fell to the floor. Victims of both men are unable to say which hand struck the harder blow. In training for his September 24 fight with Max Baer, the Detroit Negro is following the same tactics employed by McLarnin—road work and light exercises every day and boxing but three times a week. Hard fighting with the big gloves every day doesn’t fit in with their idea of proper training. The lack of good sparring partners makes these sessions a joke |and the danger of a broken hand or cut eye is ever present. As a result of the sensible course outlined by Blackburn, the fans can be assured that Louis will enter the ring better conditioned than Baer, despite the latter's hard licks at Speculator, N. Y. —_— By the Associated Press. UFFALO, N. Y., September 7. —Three young Canadians trimmed a big field of dis- tance runners in a 15-mile road race here this afternoon, two finishing one, two, and the third, who came home fourth, winning the time prize. | John Shorer of Toronto, aided by & 12-minute handicap, came in first, followed by Dick Wilding, also of | Toronto, who had a 5-minute time al- | lowance. Then came the veteran Albert “Whitey” Michelson of New York, nationally known marathon runner, running with a 6-minute allowance, but he did not travel fast enough | to beat out Bob Rankin of Hamilton, Ontario, for the time prize, the Ca- nadian star finishing from scratch in 1 hour 44 minutes and 15 seconds to pace the fleld in actual running time. Shorer’s actual running time was 1 hour 52 minutes and 24 sec- onds. There were 61 fnishers and some of the country’s best known mara- thon stars finished far back, the heavy time handicaps helping the youngsters in what for marathoners was a comparatively short race. Clarence De Mar of Keene, N. H,, one of the world’s best known mara- thon runners, came home fifteenth, and Pat Dengis of Baltimore, na- tional marathon champion, was eighth. BASE BALL % 3 PM.
