> SPORTS. Proves to Packed House He Has Stamina, Can Absorb Punishment: BY BURTON HAWKINS, OE TEMES, who ought to know, still is & bit confused over the punching prowess of Lou Gevin- son. But if Lou is responsible for Joe's jumbled jargon, Washington bas a first-class fighter in its midst. His face one puffed red welt after losing an eight-round bout to Gevin- son last night at Turner’s Arena before & capacity crowd of 1,709 paying | patrons and approximately 100 pass | receivers, Temes was the acme of in- coherency as he gave his somewhat muddled views on Lou’s possibilities. ‘The highly enlightening conversation stumbled along in this fashion: *“Joe, you've had nearly 250 fights and met most of the good feather- weights. Do you think Gevinson will | make the grade?” ¢ “Naw, he's easy to hit. I couldn't get going tonight. T wasn't right. He | doesn't hurt you. He won't get any- | where.” “Do you believe, in another year or 80, he might be ready?” “He's a good fighter. He's got & good left. but his right isn't any| trouble. Yeah, he ought to go good. He's a good fighter.” Joe apparently couldn't make up his | mind, but then, again, not too many fighters can after pitching and catch- | ing in nearly 250 arguments. Lou Brilliant in Spots. TH’E District's caulifiower contin- gent, or that portion of it that waswedged into the cramped fight cen- | ter, was more enthusiastic concerning Lou's prospects, however, as it passed judgment on Gevinson's first actual test in three professional engagements. Considering he recently was initiated into paid ranks, Lou was impressive and handled the veteran Temes like | & carbon copy of Lew Tendler in his flashier moments. | Lou, like Joe Louis before the Schmeling event, is as smooth as your old blue serge suit while winning, but he has his weaknesses. Perhaps the | most glaring of these is the manner in which he carries his right hand. If he continues to hold it as low as | he did against Temes, the first fighter | he meets with a stiff left hook will | present him with a splitting headache, | Gevinson, nevertheless, answered | two more important questions in cap- | turing six of the eight rounds from | Temes. Lou has stamina and he can absorb a healthy wallop without being | alowed perceptibly. His stamina is in- | dicated in the fact that he took the | Iast three rounds in the first bout he ever has fought over an eight-round | route. | Gevinson, physically, was not at his | peak. He was 4'- pounds over his normal fighting weight of 127 pounds | due to a heavy cold which he com- bated by drinking water. Joe Off to Early Lead. 'EMES was effective in close in the first round, shooting a solid right to Lou's head in the clinches. Gevin- son missed repeatedly with his left and Joe stepped inside and dealt Lou's stomack a neat shellacking. Temes looked as if he had mapped his battle | carefully and planned to outsmart his | comparatively inexperienced foe. Pinding the range with short left | hooks in the second round, Gevinson | ripped Joe's nose and continued to score with his southpaw style in the third and fourth frames. Backed against the ropes in the fifth session, Temes bounced off and | tossed & potent right against Lou's jaw and Gevinson's eves were glassy as i Joe sunk another right to the same | spot. Lou shook it off, however, and | came back strongly in the sixth round | to wear Temes down with a succession | of Jefts to the head. The sharp-faced Je 1ad also took the seventh and . #ighth rounds, although Temes cut - Lo#i's eye slightly with a left hook in i the seventh canto. In a six-round semi-final, Sammy Meadows, lanky New York lightweight, defeated Young Raspi of Baltimore, while other six-rounders saw Young Palmer, Camden lightweight, trounce ¢ Pete Andropoulos of New York, and I Cyclone Sammy Williams, local col- ored middleweight, trim Preddy Lewis, an angular New York substitute. Doug Swetnam, local featherweight, scored a second-round technieal knock- out over Penton Bligh of Baltimore, when Bligh, arising groggily at the count of 10, was adjudged unfit to «ontinue by Referee Eddie La Fond. Joe Turner showed his largest profit of ‘the indoor season, $2,107.65 passing $hrough the ticket windows. * 'WANTS BASKET RIVALS, Unlimited basket ball opponents are being sought by the Fort Meade court- men, who may be booked by writing ; Sergt.

(#),—Michi- gan State’s 1937 foot ball team will White's Victory With His Son’s Rosalind in Hambletonian Is Great Drama of 1936. BY GRANTLAND RICE. OB ANGELES, December 26— Drama lies not only in the un- expected. When s thing that people have hoped for comes true, that can be dramatic, too, even if the chances that it would come true were very good all along. Hambletonian day at Goshen, N. Y., is an annuak throwback to the horse and buggy days. This is the most unusual sporting event in America and draws the most unusual crowd. Farmers and city folk, the racing and polo set from Long Island, those who follow the Grand Circuit meetings closely, and those who don't know the first thing about trotting—they're all at Goshen on Hambletonian day. Over the normally somnolent town lies, for a day, the ecuri- ously jumbled atmosphere of the circus, the county fair and the race track. Now, back of this year's Hamble- tonian lay a story. It was the story of Ben White and his son, Gibson, and a bay filly called Rosalind. Ben White has been training and driving trotters for a long while, and, in 1933, he won the Hambletonian with Mary Reynolds. The boy, Gibson, was born to harness racing. Almost the first thing he can remember is his father working horses on a track in the early mornings—and the sights and sounds and the earthy smell of the stables. A Gift for Health, | HE OREW up to train and drive trotters himself, and then about & year or s0 ago he fell gravely ill. His convalescence was slow and the doctors were very much concerned about him. His father, watching him anxiously, realized he had to have an | incentive to hasten his recov he told him about the bay Al lind. “I'm giving her to you, son.” he said. “I think she can win the Ham- bletonian and I want you to hurry up and get well so you can train her and drive her.” Gibson's health improved. As soon as he could, he went down to the barns because there was work to do there. He had to get Rosalind ready for the Hambletonian. He worked hard over the filly, and, with the big race just A little way off. he knew she was ready. He was sure she was the best in the race and would win—provided she had the right driver. Now doubt began to assail him. He could drive her, of course. But could he drive her as well as his dad? Why, ' nobody in the world could drive her | a3 well a3 his dad! “Dsd,” he said to old Ben one day, “1 want you to drive Ross- lind. With you in the sulky, she can't lose. “I'm asking you on her account. I wouldn't want her to lose this race just because she couldn't have the kind of driver she deserves.” Ben wouldn't have hesitated & min- ute—but he had contracted with Wil- liam N. Reynolds to drive Ed Lasater, a colt that aiso was conceded to have a great chance to win. He didn't know quite what to do about that—not until he talked to Reynolds. When he ex- plained the situation to Reynolds, the owner of Ed Lasater, being & real sportsman, said: “You go ahead and drive Rosalind. ;n. Tl get Sep Palin to drive my All Pulling for Rosalind. TH’!R! were 45,000 in the big, kite- shaped Good Times track when the horses came out, with Sep Palin | in the sulky behind Ed Lasater and | Ben White driving Rosalind—and | Gibson White, tense and silent, in the grandstand. Everybody knew the story of Rosalind, and nearly every- body was pulling for her to win. She was the favorite in the books. The Hambletonian is kicked off in heats, best two out of three. Rosa- | lind won the first heat going away, | and, after the horses had been cooled out and some minor races had been | held, they came back. Now, after a short delay, they were off on the sec- ond heat. Old Ben bided his time | for & little bit and then he let Rosa- lind out and she went to the front. Rourid the turn into the home stretch they came. with the crowd roaring. Rosalind still held the lead and tae others challenged, but as the field neared the judges Ros- alind quickened her pace and | stepped past the finish line to | win easily. Ben went up into the judges’ stand | to receive the trophy from E. Roland | Harriman, and they called Gibson out of the grandstand and the crowd | cheered as the boy stood there with this dad. After the presentation old | Ben said he was mighty proud be- | cause he was the first man ever to win two Hambletonians and all he hoped was that he would live long enough to win another. But Gib- | son said he was even prouder than | his dad because he had the best filly— | and the best dad—in all the world. (Copyright, 1936, by the Nor'h American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

In the days when Johnson ruled, & champion of s lighter division was lucky to get $5,000 to defend his titl against & worthy challenger. Nowe adays, s fairly good hesvyweight can draw that much money for meeting & mediocre antagonist. That's how it goes. A fair-to-middling heavyweight can earn enough to tog himself and his manager in good clothes, stop at high-class hotels and demand plane transportation to fights. No wonder the Wisenheimers of the game are beating the bushes and highways for & “white hope.” S8everal good ones have appeared of late to justify the opinion that Joe Louis may be riding to a fall within the next two years. Gunnar Bar- lund. a likely looking Finn, appears much smarter and ringwise than his manager cares to make known. Ale though Barlund, a former amateur, has had but 15 professional engage- ments against s0-s30 rivals, he shapes up as by far the smoothest piece of fighting machinery this city has seen since Joe Louis made his debut against Primo Carnera. Plays With Connelly. GAINST the giant Prankie Con- nelly, the Finn moved around and stabbed Connelly in the body. He showed menacing fists. as though he intended to punch high, but, as each round progressed, it dawned on the fans that Barlund was only using those dodges to make Connelly keep his guard high. When Barlund fig ured he had his man, he switched to the head and finished the job. There was nothing of the amateur about the way he went about his work. Getting closer to home, one finds such names as Phil Brubaker, Sonny | Walker, Harry Thomas and Johnny Erjavac among the young'uns breaking into print. The likeliest of the lot, and the least publicized, 15 Sonny Walker. This 20-year-old youngster from Arie zona, who boasts a fine fighting mix- ture in his Scotch-Irish parentage, is attracting attention because he was smart enough to catch up with the Wily Tommy Loughran and send the former light-heavyweight champion to the floor several times. This deed cannot be passed off .to lightly. Has Displayed Ability. LOUGHRAN may be too old to keep step with the youngsters, but the week before he proved smart and nimble enough to outpoint the harde hitting Tom Beaupre of Dallas, Tex. ‘There is plenty of ring science stored in Tom's head and he knows how to use it. This makes Walker's feat the more pronounced. Whipping Loughran is not the only bright spot on Walker's record. He has a convineing win over the French- man, Andre Lengiet. which must not be overlooked. Lengler was on his way back to the bright lights for further fortune and glory after a successful stay on the Pacific Coast when he met up with Sonny Walker. Lenglet's plans were rearranged after Walker had fin ished dealing out a full measure of ‘wine-colored leather, Brubaker is too uncertain. He lost to Jack Sharkey and Ray Impellitiere toned him down as just another fair heavyweight. Phil has not lived up to early promise and, barring an unlooked for brace, will be just & “netive son” favorite. Johnny Erjavec is & bit too light to count for much at the present writing. His punch is a potent one, however, and the fact tnat he is willing to fight six-rounders, and is not being rushed too fast by nis manager, is a creditable sign that tre young man is serious about his business and is willing to wait until he fills out to be sent after the better sort. The same opinion holds true about Thomas, who, while a giant in size and weight, has yet to acquire the needed ring generalship to barge out for the time being. This pair is under smart handling and may be the snswer to a fight manager's prayer. GRIDDER MYERS LAUDED Called Most Valuable Member of Regal Clothiers’ Team.
