SPORTS. Braddock Holds Dempsey’s Esteem : Yanks Gird for Davis C Trade Still on Griff’s Mind CHAMPION IS BEST | WHENHE'S STUNG Speed Would Beat Jim, Says; Jack—Shuns Comparisons | Involving Himself. BY JACK DEMPSEY. NE of the most useless and embarrassing questions I am asked is: “When you were in your prime, do you think you could have licked So-and-So?” the inquirer nam- ing some current heavyweight fighter or a champion of another era. . It's a question that I can't an- swer truthfully, for what would the questioner think if I said: | “Sure; I'd have | knocked him stiff | in a couple of rounds. I could | have licked any | man who ever lived, or who ever will live!” And yet, deep down in my! heart, that was my firm belief. That's what every real chamrion should al- ways think of himself, no matter what | he says. Any man who doesn't firmly believe he can whip any other man in the ‘world never can make a real champion. If you should ask Jim Braddock whether he thought he could lick me the day I fought Jess Willard, if he told you what he really thinks, he'd say he'd do the same to me as he did to Max Baer; and he'd mean it. | He wouldn't be a champion if he didn't. | At that, T think it would have been & good, enjoyable joust if Jim and I| could have met with both of us at our best. He's nobody's fool. Our bout would be something like a com- bination of my enzagements with ‘Willard and Luis Firpo. I've been asked many times just how I'd fight Braddock, Schmeling or Joe Louis. | Weaying Would Beat Braddock. “,YELL as 1 recall, my habit was to ¥V sail in and start slugging at what- ever spot I saw as an opening. Brad- | dock, I think, has a good left jab and & terrific right cross. Willard had a | good left, and I'll always remember Luis Firpo's right. Perhaps the weaving style I used n the old days would get me by with Braddock. We'll waive false modesty | and all that sort of thing. I think| ® good, strong, aggressive hitter would | get Braddock before he got a chance to get going. He's & sort of a cautious fighter, who doesn’t do his best until he's been badly stung. But if you had a fellow who could hurt him badly enough in the beginning. I think he could be taken just as Willard and Firpo were. Going back still further, perhaps Braddock would make me remember, painfully, one of my fights with Gun- | boat Smith. The Gunner, you may | recall, bounced me around consider- sbly before I got through with him. 1 didn't know whether I was coming | or going after he conked me with' that right of his. | Braddock probably is a much better | fighter than he has shown yet. When the time comes and he has to get in there and “do or die,” he’ll DO. He gave some hint of this the night he Jack Dempsey. began his great comeback lgaxnst‘z Corn Griffin. Jimmy’s Comeback Start. | IN THAT fight Jimmy was going along, not having any the better of the fighting. In fact, Griffin was doing most of the fighting, and scor- ing, too. It looked as if Braddock didn't have a chance. | But when Griffin knocked Braddock | down, it suddenly made Jim desperate. | He knew he’'d have to “do or die” when he got up, and he proceeded to | “do.” Braddock is & pretty good boxer, better than most of the big fellows. But he is not very fast, and a fast man, I think, would give him plenty of trouble. Yes, I think speed would beat Brad- dock. Of course, there'd have to be | punching power and accuracy com- bined with this speed—and a blithe disregard for what Jimmy might try to hand out. But I think I'd have beaten Jimmy with a few lucky wal- lops—quite a few, for James can take it. But don’t ask Mr. Braddock about this; I'll guarantee he'd tell you just | the opposite. | (Copyright. 1937.

Nats’ Boss, on Eve of Florida Trip, Hopes to Get Catcher From Tribe or Browns. FITH of the Nationals, on the eve of his annual de- parture for the Southland, today clung to a new shred of hope for swinging a base ball player deal. “Maybe the Cleveland-St. Louis trade will start the ball rolling,” said Griffith, “but, seriously, I doubt it.” Manager Bucky Harris said he was glad to hear of the deal, if only to see it in print, “It might put ideas into the heads of some base ball people,” he added. Griffith, of course, is seeking a catcher, preferably Rollie Hemsley of the Browns or Frankie Pytlak of the Indians. “The last time I communicated with Hornsby, how- ever, he stated that Hemsley would not be let go,” declared Griff. ‘There is supposed to be even less PRESIDENT CLARK GRIF- chance of Washington getting Pytlak. A year ago Cleveland was anxious to unload the little back- stop for Clif Bilton. At that time Pytlak *was convalescing from a long {llness and there was some doubt as to his complete recovery. ‘This Winter the Nationals have been the aggressors and Cleveland has balked. Bolton's alleged “run- out” last season caused his stock to drop. Griffith intends to leave tomor=- row for Orlando, Fla, where he will await the arrival of the Na- tionals for training. They are due to start on February 28. Harris also will leave town tomorrow, motoring with Mrs. Harris to spend & week of hunting with Tom Yaw- key on the South Carolina estate of the Red Sox owner. ] SCHOLASTIC FIVES Poor Crowds Due to Lack of Class as Ev Russell, Pro Star, Sees It. V RUSSELL, at Tech High School several years ago, is making out fairly well as a | professional basket ball player, | but the streamlined ace of probably the greatest era in local high school dribbling believes none of the present | crop of schoolboy courtmen ever will | make the grade either in collegiate or pro ranks, One of the most consistent pllyers{ ever to perform for Tech, Ev dropped | around to view the scholastic situa- tion Friday and was disappointed. He didn't have any trouble finding a seat, a precious bit of board several sea- sons ago, and believed the reason was because there were no players fash- ioned along the smooth lines of Bernie Lieb, Bill Noonan, Carroll Shore, Buddy Nau, Monk McCarthy, Temmy Nolan and Harry Bassin— boys he performed with and against. “You may hear from some of these | boys when they get to college, but I doubt it,” offered Ev. “Gee, we never had any trouble packing this place. It’s nothing like the old days.” Russell Leads in Victory. THAT Russell was qualified to speak on that subject was evident yes- terday as the fleet little forward hit the peak of his brief professional Heurich Brewers to a 56-37 victory | over National Business College of Roanoke, Va. which absorbed its' tenth trimming in 121 games. Each of the seven players employed by the Brewers figured in the scoring | with at least four points, while Wilson | Trumbo paced National Business Col- | lege with 13 points. | In a preliminary game, Krebes, with 15 points, led Fort Myer to a 36-34 ! triumph over Senate Beer in a Heurich Cup League fray.

Making his first appearance of an Eastern invasion, the 22-year-old Burke is seeking to establish enough 1 of a reputation to gain a match with | | Barney Ross, world welterweight ruler, | and things being what they are at | present in 147-pound ranks, Jackie | mav accomplish his objective. | Raymond, however, looms as some- | what of a barrier to Burke's hopes. | Lew is at his best against a fighter whose forte is slugging instead of box- | Ing, and Jackie's style of swinging his paws is said to be advantageous to the Baltimorean's method of pro- peling fists, Pine Points for Gevinson. INE may be remembered by pa- trons of Washington Auditorium for gaining a draw with Harry Jeffra in his only other local appearance.

Henry (Popeye) Irving, one-time favorite here, will launch a comeback in a six-rounder against Hunter Cros- tic, hard-hitting Richmond middle- weight, who recently graduated from amateur ranks.

HE Kerry blue terrier is in many | one time held much prestige in show | ways & most interesting breed of animal. He has been adop- | ted as the national dog of the Irish Free State, in the hope, I sup- | pose, that the country will emulate his virtues rather than that of his more commonly known, red-haired | confreres, the Irish terrier, the Irish setter, and the Irish water spaniel. These, to tell the truth, do have a bit of & name for hot headedness, may be | the files of the American Kennel Club ' pe included with | merely by escertaining the popular name of Henkel, a bit stubborn, and occasionally, per- haps, are somewhat over aggressive. Not all, you understand, just some, sometimes. After all, theyre red- | heads. The Kerry biue, on the other hand, is not red-heaced at all. In early infancy he is quite black, but as he | registration to make sure that no name | th, matures his coat changes color until | by the time he is 18 months or so old, | he is a striking blue color all over, varying in shade from a light gray to a dark steel or slate color. The story is that the Kerry blue originally was a | sport in the Irish terrier litter, just as now one occasionally gets a black setter in a litter of red Irish setters. From being mnot particularly desired, this breed gradually rose in esteem until acclaimed the national dog of the State. In type, he strongly resembles his red cousin, although he is some- ‘what larger and heavier, and he carries a very profuse, dense, soft wavy coat, which in Ireland is left entirely untrimmed. In character and disposition, the Kerry blue is a dog of parts. While he is a good terrier, he has many vir- tues beyond that of & mere terrier. He can be trained to hunt. He is an excellent companion. And he is a guard par excellence. He takes his duties and his responsibilitjes seriously, | and will guard his master's family | Kerry blue terrier, Dalhousie’s and Mrs. Lucas of Merrifield, Va. and possessions with every fiber of his being. | A good example of the breed is the | dog in the picture, Dalhousie’s Blue Roxie. Her closely shut mouth and overhanging eyebrows show that very air of determination which she ex- hibits in life. A firm displinarian, she rules her five pups with an iron (gray) paw, and is no less determined to see that the children of her master are equally well brought up. There may be no straying from the grounds when she is around; and woe betide any nursemaid that does not come up to her specifications. "DOG in the manger” probably is one of the best known of the doggy fables. And the reason it is| one of the best known is not because the incident described is particularly dog-like, but because it is particularly human. The reason for this profound thought? Merely because Westminster show time approaches, and Westmin- ster is the big show of the year. For the last two years at least preceeded by an at- one | sey Yet his is a kennel name which at circles. While much of his fame and the fame of his dogs came from the stories he wrote about them, the fat prices he got for his puppies could be attributed only to the show records of their parents. A PERENNIAL source of interest is the nomenclature of dogs. The history of the world could be read in names in any period. Unless a per- son’s name has appeared on some application for registration, that per- son has not received the final seal of publicity. The American Kennel Club carefully checks all applications for is used more than once in any one breed, unless followed by a Roman dogs have been named Lindbergh or Lucky Lindy or some name arising from Charles Lindbergh's exploits than anything else. Rockfeller and Demp- in various combinations are also popular choices. The New Deal has been used more frequently than any other name recently, and various ac- tivities arising from the New Deal have come in for their share of canine god (or should one say dog) children. “But,” says the A. K. C. “the real spice of the situation is found in the names that are not permitted. They are the ones that truly reflect public opinion. Unfortunately, they cannot be published.” Mean, I calls it.

S. This Year. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. ERY shortly now, Messrs. Budge, Mako, Riggs and Hunt, who are expected to bring the Davis Cup back to these shores next Summer, will begin their year's tennis campaign in a long series of California tournaments. They will be directed, or rather, guided, not by the United States Lawn Tennis Association operating from New York, as certain cynical and misguided commentators have age serted, but by the Southern Calie fornia Association, which is quite competent to attend to the work of preparation. Edward B. Moss, secretary of the U. S. L. T. A, has no fault to find with prophets who believe that the defection of Fred Perry from the ranks of English amateurs gives the United States a bright outlook fer the recapture of the famous intere national trophy. “Bunny Austin,” he says, “simply cannot win two single matches from Germany, Australia or the United States. So, on paper, at least, Eng- land can be counted out. Should Have Beaten Australia. "AS FOR the United States, we should have beaten Australia last year. Against the fact that we did not, you have to consider the undoubted fact that we should have. Well, Australia beat Germany, and England, with Perry, remember, de- | feated the Australians. So there is our basis of hope.” v Between what the United States | team should have done and what it | did not do lies a discrepancy whieh cost us the Davis Cup in 1936 and | has, and always will. cost a lot of other teams and individuals chame ‘ pionship titles throughout all the hise tory of sport. If one grants that Baron Von Cramm will have regained good health by next Summer, as is likely, he may a teammate of the who is expected to | be pretty nearly, if not quite, as good as the baron this year, while another prospect, Hans Denker, is regarded highly by qualified observers as n internationaiist of the highest class. With the experience and ability of ese players, it is carrying optimism a long way to predict that the group of young Americans hereinbefore | numeral.

Probably more that Australian galaxy made up of And if they do, what about Adrian Quist, Jack Crawford. Vivida McGrath and Harry Hopman? Have Sustained Fire. ALL these players, German amd “ Australian, have a certain com- | petitive ruggedness, a sustained fite, | in international court battling which | the Americans of current eminence have lacked, Budge no less grievously than any of the rest. The solidity of match character. such as was found in Tilden, Johnston, Vines, Williams, Richards and McLoughlin, | is missing. This may be due to the youth of | the present crop of leading American racket swingers, a fault which, in such case, maturity will correct. Or it may | be due to a superficiality in the ex= pression of lawn tennis which is fundamental and so incurable. There are those who believe that this is the present malady in the Davis Cup situ- ation as it affects this country. | Meanwhile, the professional cause | strikes the dismaying hiatus of a mid- | land sick bed toward which Ellswonth | Vines inevitably directed himself when he met Fred Perry in the Madison | Square Garden in the early stages-of influenza. | It is just as well from the promoters | standpoint. For the spare 3,000 gt- | tendance in Cleveland, & good tenmis | center, must have proved convincing evidence that, until Vines regains his health, there is no profit in these ten- nis shows. And even after he gets well he will have to beat his English rival a couple of times at least befors the Midwestern turnstiles begin to click with any oelerity. FEAR MARLBORO BOOTERS Pace-Setting Brewers Apprehen- sive Despite Win Yesterday., | Marlboro loomed forbiddingly to | the Heurich Brewers' soccer team | today as that outfit enjoyed a wider | lead in the Recreational League. ;’ Although increasing their league led to 5 points yesterday, when they played and won the only game of | the day, from the Democrats by & 6-0 | score, the Brewers were apprehensive as they looked ahead to next Sunday. Then they must visit the Marlboro | fleld, which is the home grounds of the league's third-place team, and .where no visiting aggregation has won & game this season. Added to the Brewers' worries is the fact that Sun Radio, last year champion, is in sec- ond place, one game behind. Sun Radio meets George's Radio, | the tail-ender, next Sunday and is almost a prohibitive choice to win. To date Heurich’s has won 10 games | and lost 1. Sun Radio has won 8 and |lost 1 and Marlboro has won 8 and lost 3. TS TARZAN SWIM TUTOR Two 13-year-old novices were to receive a swimming lesson at the Shoreham Hotel pool this afternoon from a man whom many experienced natators probably wish had started them on their careers in the water. Peggy McDonald and Miller Foster jr.. both entering their 'teens, will re~ ceive some of their earliest instruc- tion from Johnny Weissmuller, the Tarzan of the movies, appearing in person at a downtown theater this week. Weissmuller’s instructions were to be amplified for the benefit of the spectators, after which he will give an exhibition of his own style in the water. The performance was scheduled to start at 4:30 o'clock. | watch out. Get him out in the sun- shine as much as possible and fortify his constitution with the proper dosage of oil.
