SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1937. SPORTS. D—3 Fiasco at Shelby Is Pointed Out as Lesson for Fistic Promoters DOUBT OVER BOUT SPOILED REGEIPTS Dempsey Hopes Same Error Won’t Queer Braddock’s Clash With Louis. N THIS Braddock-Schmeling-Louis row, if it materializes, it would be well to “Remember Shelby.” Uncertainty as to whether Tom Gibbons’ fight with me would take place wrecked banks. Instead of booming the Montana town it was & financial body blow. The gate suf- i fered; the pro- moters took it on the chin; Gib- bons got virtually nothing and my guarantee wasn't met It's regrettable many unfortunate breaks face Jim- my Braddock. | Poor Jim may | wind up behind | the eight ball, | aeckiihempacy holding the bag. | Meanwhile Max Baer is training in | England to meet the Tom Farr-Ben | Foord fight winner April 15 at Har- ringway. If Max gets by that he'll be sent against Walter Neusel on May 6. Big Chance for Baer. IGHT now it seems Max will be plenty busy. He's good enough to whip those men. They've done well in Europe but aren’t in the class of our heavies, punk as they are right now. So far the British Board of Boxing Control has ignored Madison Square Garden's request to bar Baer, and I | don't expect it will. My friend, Ted Broadribb of London tells me Gen. | Alfred Cecil Critchley, promoter of Boer's trip, feel New York has no right to interfere, since it hasn't licensed Max Farr and Foord fought for the Brit- ish and Empire title. What that will make Baer if he beats the winner T'll leave to you. Max already has beaten Max Schmeling, who probably still | claim the European title, so foxy old Ancil Hoffman. Baer's manager, no doubt will return claiming the Eastern Hemisphere crown Baer has the chance of a lifetime on this trip. His opposition isn’t over- whelming, and if he gets in real fight- ing condition, settles down and act- ually fights he yet may reinstate him- | self with our fight public, and even | come back to cop the title. | Max is a good hitter. When he left | New York he looked fine, physically, | and talked a darn good fight. If it | wasn't hooey, I have hopes for him. Don't Like Body Punches. 'I'HOSE English l.eavies don't take| body punches too well, nor are | they terrific punchers. I don't think they can hurt Max much. If Baer has a mind to. he can take it. Just how much Louis took out of Baer remains to be seen. There's a chance he's softened up considerably | from Joe's beating, still he wasn't in | there long, and a real heavy ought to | be able to take a little bouncing arcund. I had to take a pretty tough shel- | lacking from men like Gunboat Smith and the late Bill Brennan, but maybe they couldn’t hit as hard as Louis | You'd have a hard time convincing | me, though. I hear Bear stood his trip well. In | fact, a sea voyage should help him. | Max isn't broke, so he tells me, but is pretty badly bent, as they say, and isn't gorging himself on caviar and champagne now. Fine. A hungry fighter is a danger- ous fighter; whether man or beast. Baer has a comeback chance, but | it’s strictly up to him. One thing is certain—if he flops | he'll be in for the razzing of his life. | (Copyright, 1937.) (Reproduction in whole or in part prohib- ited without permission.) STAYS AT NORTHWESTERN.

Isemann will resign when the congress holds its annual election during the national championships which open next Saturday at Nor- folk, Va. Failure of bowlers and bowling promoters to provide for the con- gress financially is the primary cause of Isemann's resignation from an organization of which he has been the mainspring since it was organized here in 1927. Before leaving today for Nor- folk, Isemann said he had no defi- nite plans for the future. He has been in poor health for nearly two months. A. A. U.

Both Schwartz and Shmukler were extended to three sets by semi-final opponents last night, the former de- feating Joe Cowley, 21-11, 12-21, 21-5 and Shmukler eliminating Wallace 21-9. After their singles fight, Schwartz and Shmukler will pair in an effort to capture the doubles championship, with Cowley and Channing Walker | forming the opposition. The Schwartz- Shmukler combination defeated Paul Pearlman and Randy Myers, 21-13, 21-19, while Cowler and Channing | trounced W. C. Woodward and Leon- ard Vineberg, 21-10, 21-9. UMPIRES ARE SPORTY.

UCHO GUSTO, fleet 5-year- old son of Marvin May and Sweetheart, heads the well- balanced string which Bobby Curran will race for the Araho Stable during the nine-day meeting at Bowie, which opens April 1. Curran, a resident of Silver Spring, Md., hopes to win the $5,000 Southern Maryland Handicap, 1 /16-mile affair, on Saturday, April 10, closing day of Spring racing here. Last year Curran saddled 17 winners and garnered $20,625 in purses after taking over the Rhode Island owned racing establishment. He is out to surpass that mark this year and fig- ures he will accomplish his task: that is, if Mucho Gusto, Jackie 7 and other | capable performers in his care run to expectations. Prepares 21 Horses. | H GUY BEDWELL, master of Yar- row Brae Farm at Savage, is making 21 horses ready. They are the | | property of A. C. Compton of Califor- | | nia and include the good 3-year-old Cligendaal. Bedwell, the only Marylander exer\ to top America’s list of winning train- | ers, accomplishing the feat no )ess' | than seven times, says that Clingen- | topflight 3-year-olds. the gelding had scant chance in the Santa Anita Derby, but turfites had better watch out for him in the 3-‘ year-old stakes to be run the re-| mainder of the year. Other horses in Bedwell’s | which is situated just beyond the %-mile shute are: Weston, Mad | Frump, Pomposity, Rudenia, Church | Call, Braving Danger, Vicar, Dartle, Knight of Old, Fire Star and Fair | Billy.
