B—8 s PORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, SEPTEMBER 22, 1935—PART ONE. SPORTS. Silas Is Out to “Steal” Limelight in Police Fight Show on September 30 . BENT ON REVENGE ASHEBOXES FURR Sid Modestly Admlts Bout Will Excell Others on Flashy Program. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ID SILAS, the welterweight Washington matchmakers for- got, with characteristic mod- esty admits hell steal the show when the police put on their fistic fete at Griffith Stadium the last night of this month. Burning up ever since he lost to Phil Furr—and Sid still shrieks “I wuz robbed whenever that fight is mentioned—the lanky lad who now is an athletic director of the Metropoli- tan Police Boys’ Clubs for the finan- cial benefit of which the September 80 show will be held declares he'll “take” Furr this time. “I'll steal the show,” Silas has in- formed your family newspaper. “Be out there to watch me go.” All told there will be 59 rounds of boxing—if all the boys go through | their schedules. Therell be such | bouts as Petey Sarron against m.s; arch-rival, California Joe Rivers, and | Buck Everett, publicity-mad heavy- weight, against Bob Godwin among | others. But according to Sid, these will be nothing in comparison to the hot scrap he’ll have with Furr. Sid Silas Speaks. Sll..AS doesn't get another to do his talking. Sid speaks: “I'll stop Furr. And it won't be because I hate Furr. He's a nice guy. A combination of circumstances and matchmakers has been freezing me out of local rings. Here's one show I couldn’t be frozen out of. I'm getting & square deal and In return for it I'll win the D. C. welter championship— whatever that is,” says Silas. “I boxed 'em all in New York. No one ever beat me but Joe Rossi and one of the judges called that one a draw. Where would Furr figure with Rossi? He couldn't even get such a match. This Janazzo beats Furr, ‘They don't match he winner back. Furr gets right back on though “I fought a draw with Janazzo and had him on the floor. Mecadon beats Furr and everybody forgets Mecadon’s name right away. “They match Furr with Tony Rock. Rock beats him. I beat Rock. But Furr gets the next match—not me. “Frankie Blair beats Furr. Instead of matching me with Blair they give Furr another shot at Blair and he gets beat again. How much do you have to beat this Furr to move into the local fight picture? Claims Referee Was Wrong. I COME down here sick,” continues Sid. “You know a man doesn't have all of his teeth extracted unless | there’s something wrong with him. I never give the public a bad fight. | Against Hughes, Davis, Landis and | the like I steal the show. Fellows like Bevans I knock out. All right. “I fight Furr. He drops me a couple of times. I give him credit for it. He can hit. But I get up in| time to go on to win as I've done “ dozens of times here before and a | referee who likes numbers gives me the quickest count in the world and stops the fight with my hands up | and ready to go, as the pictures in‘ the papers prove. “On one of those ‘knockdowns’ I'm tangled in the ropes and the referee | is counting over me. I'm supposed | to be woozy, but I have sense enough to point across the ring where Furr is hanging helpless on the ropes and I £ay to the referee, “Your're counting the wrong guy.’ “S’help me that's the truth. “Eatin’ Reg’lar” Now. T'm in shape now. I've got regular meals and a place to stay. I've got a joo as physical in- structor training those kids at the Police Boys' Club, thanks to Maj. Brown, Maj. Miller and Officer Mesh- koff. “I'll be fighting for those boys against Furr and the boys will be pulling for me; maybe you think that doesn’t count. I know it does count. And speaking of counts, all I hope is that if the referee they give me this time counts he knows over whom he’s counting and how fast he counts. “I'll win this one and I'll steal the show. Sid Silas always steals the show.” TROSKY’S HOMER '}ELLS Bends Three Runs Over as Tribe Routs Chisox, 7 to 3.

By the Associated Press OMPTON LAKES, N. J., Sep- | tember 21.—A keen, eager and confident Joe Louis wound up his training today for his 15-round heavyweight en- | gagement with Max Baer in New York next Tuesday night. The sensational Detroiter topped | off what has been a more or less | easy three weeks' work by boxing seven desultory rounds with four of | his five sparring mates. He took | on Leonard Dixon of Philadelphia, Paul Cavalier of Paterson, N. J.; Farmer Bob Moody of Freeport, Pa., and Roy Willlams of Chicago in order. 2 Before entering the ring Louis was given the once over by Dr. Wil- | liam H. Walker of the New York State Athletic Commission and pro- nounced in perfect condition. NEVER have examined a calmer fighter,” said Dr. Walker. “Really, I was amazed at this boy’s | mental condition. I would say his | fight with Max Baer is the least of his worriers. “I found Joe in excellent shape. | His blood pressure is low—which means a long life. After the ex- nut thoroughbred owned by | Jack Allen of Alexandria, Va, splendid handfing of Fred J.

' One of the outstanding perform- | ances of the day was the prize-win- | ning effort of Governor Ritchie, chest- | nut hunter of O. W. Anderson, Mont- | gomery County farm agent, which outjumped a field of 20 horses to win the touch and out for the second con- secutive year. S. L. Pfefferkorn, sr., of Howard County won the Redland-Howard | two hunts, nosing out The Squaw, shown by T. T. Mott, M. F. H, of Redland, with his bay, Helen Graves. in Petee Lad, 2-year-old offspring of Petee Wrack-Lady Stimulant, who just 12 days before won a four-furlong | | sprint for juveniles at Timonium.

The summaries: amination his pulse shot up nw‘ points, then just as quickly dropped | back to normal” Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman of | the Athletic Commission who accom- panied Dr. Walker to camp and watched Louis go through his paces, also said he was impressed by the] colored lad’s fitness and utter lack of concern. FOR the most part, zoda'v 's work-out | was one of the tamest of the nine Louis has taken since pitching camp three weeks ago. Against both Dixon and Cavalier he obviously pulled his punches. He did not once loosen up until the sixth round when his opponent was Farmer Bob | Moody. Obeying a nod from trainer Jack Blackburn, Louis tore into Moody in the sixth, battered him with rights and lefts to the head and body and opened a bad cut on the Pennsyl- vanian’s nose. It was the only ex- citement of the afternoon. The experts were left unimpressed. | All agree Louis can step, but he didn’t do much of it today.

NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. PECULATOR, N. Y, September 21.—The erratic Mr. Baer did himself another form flip-flup today, looking pretty good con- formances, in his semi-final workout for his 15-round engagement with Joe Louis in the Yankee Stadium Tues- day night. Braving a chill afternoop, with a threat of rain in the air, the former heavyweight champion boxed three rounds with Abe Feldman, the only sparring partner left in camp, and at the end had Abe, a main bout heavy- weight, more than ready to call it There was nothing like & knock- like the performance Baer has staged for the last few days when Feldman looked to be a title contender ana Max the sparring partner. Baer, his face covered with a shaggy beard, was deadly in earnest, and though he took his usual quota of left jabs and hooks to the face, right crosses to the chin, he also doled out heavy punishment with the big gloves, smothering Fe:a- man at times with ripping volleys to the head and body, grunting fiercely in each exchange. Does Final Work Today. BA!R will box only two rounds to- morrow, his final prep, so today about ended his real work. He ap- peared in marvelous physical condi- tion, weighing about 210 pounds. He was strong, mean and anything but & pleasant individual to have around. It was definitely determined today that he will fly down Tuesday to the weighing-in at the New York State Athletic Commission offces, An am- v With Sparmate phibian plane will leave New York at 7 a.m. to pick him up here at 9 am. He will fly with Ancil Hoffman, his manager, and Bill Cleveland, the pilot, the remainder of the camp going into New York by train and automobile. If by any chance flying conditions are bad, a motor cycle escort and a fast car will race him over the 250 miles of road to the battle site. Ill-humored, his face set, Baer ragged the visiting experts in his dressing room, apologizing bitingly when he referred to himself as a “fighter.” “Excuse me,” he said. “After the Braddock thing, I'm not supposed to be a fighter. Perhaps I can make you gentlemen change youwr minds Tues- day night.” He was about s pleasant company as a bomb with a lighted fuse. Once in the ring, he turned on his trainers. He has one pair of old 24-ounce gloves he likes to wear, another new pair they like him to wear. After the first round with Feldman he raced back to his corner. 0Old Gloves Help Him. “T'AKE these blankety-blank things off and get the old ones,” he roared so that all of the couple hun- dred shivering spectators could hear him. They ran in all directions to do as he commanded, and he worked much better with the old gloves dur- ing the last two rounds. He starts drying out tomorrow, aim- ing to get down to 208 pounds by ring time, and his disposition will get cor- respondingly worse. He doesn't in- tend to shave until after the fight. “That’s when Louls plans to get married, eh?” he said today. “That guy doesn't care hiow he looks on his bridal nighty " Sample Ballot Is Bedecked With Ribbons in Horse Show; Allen Displays Two Winners| AMPLE BALLOT, young chest- | won high honors under the | | ond and a third before the admiring | ple, who thronged the farm of T.

In the face of these two breaks, the Griffs wouldn’t have scored at all ex- cept for another infield miscue. Joe | Kuhel popped up and Buddy Lewis whiffed to give Marcum a fighting chance, but Myer beat out a scratch safety to Lamar Newsome, a half- pint cousin of our own Buck Newsom. This blow would only have filled the bases, but Newsome threw the ball past Foxx when he finally got it and Mihalic scored. Lanahan was good from the second to the eighth inning, but his last| reasonable chance of victory went blooey in the ninth when Lou Finney beat out a bunt and Higgins rapped & homer inside of the park for the A’s final two runs. Holbrook’s Hit Decides Nightcap. THE nightcap, as in the opener, the queer conglomeration of costly stars and backwoods semi-pros who play for Philly was off to a flying start. Coppola was nicked for three hits in the first inning, which, coupled with a faulty throw by Second Base- man Ossie Bluege, was good for two Athletic runs. The Griffs made it 2-1 in their and Cecil Tarvis' single, and then Holbrook tied it up in the second by singling home Jake Powell. Thus was the stage set for Estal- lella to regain the good graces of Bucky Harris. The Cuban rhumba, who replaced Lewis on third, poked a mighty drive off Rookie Carl Doyle in the third with Travis on base to make it 4 to 2. Having gotton one foot out of the doghouse, Holbrook emerged complete- ly in the sixth when another single scored Red Kress, who had walked and stolen second base. That run, unnecessary as it seemed at the time, was the winning margin for Coppola was weakening toward the end and just managed to stagger in after the A's had scored a run in each of the last two frames. —_— FIELD TRIALS DATED —_— LURAY, Va., September 22.—Page Valley field trials will hold its annual meet October 14 and 15 on the Mike Long farm, six miles northwest of Luray.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, September 21.— The Giants, back from a Western trip that put them out of the pennant race in all but the mathematical possibilities table, broke even with the Dodgers in a double-header today. They won the opener, 3 to 2, in 11 innings, then took a 13-to-6 shellacking. Harry Gumbert, rookie from Balti- more, went the full route in the first encounter, giving only seven hits and outlasting Watson Clark and Johnny Babich. Travis Jackson drove in all the Giants' runs, hitting a homer with | one on in the fourth and driving home Phil Weintraub with a single in the | eleventh, The Dodgers cut loose against Roy Parmelee in the second inning of the afterpiece, driving him from the hill in his ninth successive attempt to hurl & full game and scoring 8 runs before Allyn Stout checked the rally. Van Mungo pitched the whole game, giving nine blows including homers by Bartell, Cuccinello and Myatt. Bill Terry, Giant manager, remained on the bench, breaking a streak of 296 consecutive games, while Wein- traub played first. (FIRST H.O.A 0 Bilyn.

PHILLIPS, JR., 8taff Correspondent of The Star. AIR HILL, Md., September 21.— Before the eyes of 10,000 whe basked beneath an Indian Sum- ‘mer sun in grandstands perched above the emerald acres of William du Pont's estate, the whole map and trend of American hunt racing swung straight away on a new track here today in response to the Wilmington sportsman’s second substantial plea for the supremacy of brush courses in our cross-country sport, an un- precedented entry of thoroughbred horse flesh assembled at Fair Hill and gave the hunting crowd such a day of thrills as seldom before has been known on this side of the Atlantic. J. W. Y. Martin's Luckite marked himself as a fencer of heart and ability in winning the $1,500 first money and the trophy cffered in the main event, | | but few were more impressed by the | memory of this bay's lightning dash to victory through the stretch than by | the vision of 13 gaily garbed jockeys sweeping across the lush grass like a troop of hussars, or the memory of | five horses racing neck and neck into | a jump big enough to break the spirit | of all but the lion-hearted. In cutting | 18 seconds off the time for the 3-) mlle’ national cup route he beat such good | horses as Mrs. Thomas H. Somerville's | Oliver C., the second to cross the finish line, and F.

M‘u'v inches | W’HAT'S behind all this furor and the come-back of a professional sport business that has been bouncing | around on the rocks for the better part of six years, wondering how to make the scrambled ears come out as good as even? The answer is Joe Louis and his two-fisted knockout record. The Ne- gro boy, wading through all his heavy- weight opposition via the knockout route over a year's period, has given the game what it has lacked since Dempsey's retirement—color and ac- tion. For a time Baer appeared the an- swer to the fight promoter's prayer, but the California playboy failed to sustain his promise of spectacular thmgs. He lost his title to Jimmy Braddock last June while the on- lookers yawned and went away in some disgust. Shortly afterward nearly twice as many fight bugs | swarmed into the Yankee Stadium to see Louis, in his New York debut, knock out the ponderous Carnera and electrify the heavyweight scene. Louis is the main magnet, there- l fore, but what are his chances against | the best fighter, the most rugged op- ponent he has yet faced? What will the Negro's reaction be to a rough- and-tumble bout with an arrogant | slugger who has yet to face the man 1 he thought he couldn't lick to a | frazzle, a handsomely muscled figure ! with dynamite in his right hand, con- crete in his chin and confidence in his heart? Can the “Brown Bomber" take it and, if so, will he produce enough power to batter down a man who has not yet been knocked off his feet since he reached pugilistic ‘ heights? | This observer's belief is that Louis will win by a knockout, inside of five or six rounds. and demonstrate deci- sive superiority at every fighting angle. The Negro has more weapons than his rival, with a knockout wallop in either fist. He's a better boxer, he's younger, faster and there’s little | or no reason to doubt he can weather | an “early storm.” He will concede perhaps & dozen pounds in weight to the Californian, but the “Brown Bomber” is tremendously powerful. & fact he demonstrated by the ease | with which he handled the 265-pound | Carnera. Will Split Half Million. AER'S chin may prove much tougher to crack. It will need | to be. Even Maxie’s most ardent fol- lowers believe he will have to “take” plenty in the process of trying to win. They insist the Californian has had too much experience and is too ring- wise for Louis. Yet the fact is Louis | has had more actual fighting experi- ence in the last 14 months than Baer has had in the last 4 or 5 years.
