Threat to Everett’s Reign: M’Larnin Again in Ring Spotlight GALLAGHER 1S OUT | Thiose Expressions Aren’t Phoney—Buck and Marty Meant It OF FISTIC PICTURE Badly Beaten by District Heavy Champ, Who Shows Surprising Class. BY JOHN B. KELLER. UCK EVERETT, smart smacker from the banks of the Wa- besh, will hold the heavy- ‘weight boxing championship of the District of Columbia a long, long while 8o far as any local chal- lengers are concerned. So the ring- ‘worms along the Potomac felt today, and they could not feel otherwise after the pasting the import from Indiana gave Marty Gallagher, the Foggy Bot- tom riding master, last night at Wash- ington's ball yard. Buck plucked the District crown from the dome of Natie Brown mid- way of last year, and after Brown there was nothing about the Capital that looked a threat to the Everett reign other than Gallagher, who had taken the measure of such as King Levinsky and Ray Impelletierre, among numerous others, to get himself quite & name in the hinterlands if not here. But Gallagher had nothing last night to mark him as a prospective champion, and now that Brown has been on the skids for some while de- spite a recent flare-up, Messrs. Ahearn and Turner or other local fight impre- sarios must go beyond the confines of the District for a worthwhile chal- lenger. Buck in No Hurry to Defend. 'VERETT, who took his one-sided victory with becoming modesty, is not interested anyway in coming back quickly for a defense of his laurels. He has a fight out in 8t. Louis later this month with one Otis Thomas and according to Manager Jimmy Erwin will not be booked around this vicinity for quite a spell. And Gallagher, who, according to his management, will do no more fighting until December at the earliest, will go back to the ring in California. Foggy Bottom's erstwhile pride and Joy had nothing to say after his deci- sive defeat at Everett's hands, but his handlers, in their few words after the downfall of their big benedict, implied that Washington will have to wait months to see Marty in action here once more. Which may be just as well for ‘he fight promotors. After Mart dropped a fight in which he won only the first round and drew in one other over the 15-round route he could not be expected to drag ‘em in at the gate. And the promoters are not in the game for their admiration of it. Everett Crosses Wise Ones. Tm.s Was no great outpouring of % ringworms last night to witness the shellacking of Gallagher. No more than 5,000 paid in $6,344.18— boxing commission figures —at the gate, which meant rather s meager reward for Everett for his artistic plece of work. A lot of the wise boys around town were. crossed by Everett last night. ‘They had said that Buck could not &0 at top speed for 15 rounds, a route supposed to be best for the sluggish starting Gallagher, who always had been at his peak after being buffeted around the ring for a good spell. They had said that Buck could not box. And they had pointed to Gallagher's superior rating in the National Eox- ing Association’s list of heavies as proof of their contention that the Foggy Bottom boy was the better. It did not take Buck long to con- vince the wise ones they were wrong. After losing the first round, the Moosier hammer-thrower went to work on Marty in great fashion, later to be held even only in one round, the fourteenth. Marty Gets Knockdown, Then Stops. ‘TTHAT first round went to Gallagher ‘™ by virtue of a knockdown scored near the bell. He had stepped from his corner to carry the fight to Buck in a determined way and for the greater part of the round swarmed over his foe. Near the finish Gallagher swung & right to the jaw that caught Everett going away and down went the champion to one knee. But Buck was up after a one-count and never was severely damaged thereafter. Marty not only was the aggressor in the second round, but also mauled Everett by employing wrestling tac- tics. It looked as though the chal- lenger was bent on gaining through his weight advantage—Marty out- pounded Buck 205% to 179—to make the way easier to his customary spurt toward the end of the 15-round route. But Buck proved too smart for Marty. He kept the bigger fighter from clinching pretty well and rarely after that opening round offered any kind of a target. It looked as though Buck was just & wee bit too small for Gallagher to hit. Marty put some across, mostly with his left, but more often than not Buck was not there when the blow came. _ Galiagher Clearly Outelassed. INSTIAD. Buck came back in the second boxing cleverly to the sur- prise of many and gave Marty’s mid- dle considerable punishment. He made the Foggy Bottom boy wince in this round and continued to pepper him right on through to the eighth to take s commanding lead. In the eighth Everett tore into Gal- Iagher at top speed, throwing lefts to £he face and sinking rights in Marty's Jniddle. Marty felt these blows plenty, and at one time was pretty close to being dropped for a count. Groggy and confused, Gallagher held on des- perately to last the round, but his re- spite was brief. Everett kept up the punishment and not until the fourteenth did Gallagher brace enough to fight on even terms. And then Gallagher was not swinging for the Xnockout punch that alone could get him the fight. Once Everett really went to work ¥ former local pride to go away.

Shorty threw a couple punches into Killer's tummy early in the going and these so dis- turbed the local larruper that he had no further taste for the affair.

TROJAN TEST SEEN IN ILLINOIS BATTLE Squad on Way to Game That May | Make or Break Team—Lost Last Year, 19 to 0. Py the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, October 6. —South- ern California loads its 1936 grid- | fron hopes into a train tonight and | sends them off to campaign for a cru- cial test against Bob Zuppke's Illinois eleven. For the intersectional game Satur- day that may make or break Troy's thundering herd, Coach Howard Jones is taking 38 players, 18 of them un- beaten sophomores. ‘Thumping victories over Oregon State and Oregon in Pacific Coast Conference competition gave Southern California fans a basis for rating the Trojans at least on a par with the Illini, who conquered them, 19 to 0, in the first meeting here a year ago. Only one man was not in good shape as train time neared. Ambrose Schindler, sparkplug quarterback of the sophomore string, incurred a charley horse against Oregon. Bill Radovich, guard, had a slight cold. In Troy's last workout here, Foy Draper, Southern California spring ace, donned a suit and impersonated Bobby Grieve, Illinois speedster, against the sophomore and veteran line-ups. MAT SUPPORT CARD IS GIVEN SHAKE-UP One of Changes Will Send Piers Into Action With Donovan Instead of Judson. A LTHOUGH the main bout remains the same, several revisions have been made in the weekly wrestling card at Turner’s Arena on Thursday night. Hans Kampfer and Ivan Mana- goff will meet in the feature, as an- nounced. Henry Plers, though, will become Irish Jack Donovan's opponent in- stead of Prank Judson, who was hurt in a bout last Saturday night and will be unable to appear. Then, discovering that Matros Kiri- lenko and John Katan, who were scheduled to meet in a 30-minute pre- liminary bout, are booked to be the headliners at Richmond the following night, the promoters split two bouts, nent of Katan. Previously Finklestein and Williams were booked as oppo- nents. Jim Wright and Cliff Olsen will meet in the 30-minute semi-final as orig- inally scheduled. ——— WOODFIELD SHOE VICTOR Harry T.

FORK UNION OFFERS TASK FOR CENTRAL Best Schoolboy Eleven to Come Here in Years, Says Pearce. Tech Plays Gonzaga. “I‘RE strongest high or prep school eleven to come to Washington in recent years.” That's what Hardy Pearce, coach of Central's championship eleven. thinks of the opposition his team will meet | at Central Stadium Friday—the Fork Union Military Academy eleven. Ranked the second best scholastic eleven in the State last year, the Vir- ginians are aiming to upset the local champions, thus adding the District to their area of eonquered teams. Cen- tral has won its first two games, de- feating Washington-Lee and Gon- zaga, and its goal line is uncrossed. Pearce sees little chance of that record being unblemished by Friday night. Another game that will attract a large following is the Tech-Gonsaga clash at the former's stadium. Getting back on the Maroon and Gray's schedule for the first time in years, Gonzaga is hopeful of putting up a good game. Although it has lost to both Central and Eastern, the scores 0-14 and 12-13 indicated & respectable showing in each instance. A win over Tech would do much to erase memo- ries of the two defeats. All three of the Purple's first-string backs—Shaw, Boyle and Ellis—will face Tech at the opening whistle, St. John's will go to Eastern for its annual game with the Lincoln Park- ers, Western will visit Ballston for a game with Washington-Lee and Roosevelt will entertain Bullis in three other games.

DOGDOM American Kennel Club, as noted before, has its own set of reporters and statisticians, and some of the things for which they furnish statistics are indeed odd. Their latest set of figures. reveal the “fact” that American dogs will travel 300,000,000 miles in 1936 to attend dog shows, an impressive distance which would take 1,643 years to cover at the rate of 500 miles a day. Most of the owners of pure-bred dogs in the Washington metropolitan area are not concerned with this mileage at all. Of far greater inter- est to them is a show that will not pile any more on this total, the forth- coming Old Dominion Kennel Club show, which takes place on October 17 at Alexandria, Va.

Tony survived & three-second knockdown in the sec- ond round, when he was flattened by s straight right to the chin. He finished gamely despite gashes around both eyes, his nose and mouth.
