S PORTS D. C, TUESDAY APRIL 6, 1937. SPORTS . Fickleness of Current Heavyweight Boxers Astounds Dempsey FIGHTERS SCHENE oW “Dr. Jekyll and Sissy Hide” Complex Not Understood by Ex-Ring King. BY JACK DEMPSEY. 'M DARNED if I can understand the “Dr. Jekyll and Sissy Hide” complex among our current heavyweight fighters (?). The contagion has spread to England. Tom Farr, the new champion of “@reat Britain and the empire,” tried to do the same thing to Max Baer that Jimmy Braddock is do- ing to Max Schmeling; side- track him for another oppo- nent. Farr was scheduled to gght Baer if he, Tom, won from Ben Foord. Well, Tom won from Foord, but the first thing he said after he got his breath was that he wouldn’t fight ‘Max, but would rather take on Walter Neusel first. Just like Braddock, Wwho. after agreeing to fight Schmeling, sud- denly decided he'd rather have Joe Louis. | Jack Dempsey. Contract AT THIS writing the Bnex'-F‘Brr‘ fight is on for April 15, sounder heads having talked turkey to Tom, but it has gotten so a mere contract doesn't mean a thing from day to day. No doubt Farr was impressed by | Baer's size and general looks, and | figured Neusei was a “‘softer touch.” Anyway, his attempt to duck out was a big surprise His own manager wrote me a letter 1 got after the Foord fight, in which he said, “If Tom wins, as I figure he will, he meets Baer April 15.” So you never know. I think Farr figured wrong, for Neusel probably would have beaten him, and he wouldn't have gotten & crack at Max. Baer and Farr would draw more money than Farr and Neusel, for Walter already has shown in London. English fans concede Farr little chance against Neusel, but Max is an unknown quantity, and having fought some punk fights since losing to Louis, he leaves an angle of uncer- tainty. And you need that for a good draw. Set-Ups for Louis. OUIS' proposed trip to England, if he really makes it, would take the edge off Max. Those English heavies are made to order for Joe, and after he popped over a counle of them—which he could do without exerting himself—Europe might be in NOTTOFIGHT @ SPORTS copE BY JOHN B. KELLER. | ENERAL reaction of Wash- ! ington’s base ball fans to the deal that brought the aging | Al Simmons from the Tigers |to the Nationals is not so compli- | mentary. The lads—yes, and the gals, too—who put their dough on the line to take in the pastiming at Grifith Stadium in the Summer had gone hook, line and sinker for the “youth” program Messrs. Griffith and Harris had so glibly announced would be fol- lowed by the Capital club, and the sudden departure from it does not set any too well with the paying patrons. Most of the comment at John's sandwich shop, August’s place, Har- ry's beer parlor and even at the snootier rendevous of this town’s gay sportsmen and up - to-the- minute sportswomen would have made the | ears of Griff and his field commander blister. The crowd in general didn’t think much of the deal and didn’t hesitate to say so. Some reasonable souls, however, saw merit in the move. Between his Scotch-and-sodas at the Purple Rab- bit, one gent observed that “if this Simmons proves too slow to be used regularly in the outfield, but manages | to deliver at the plate in pinches to the tune of winning, say, 15 games there would be no kick.” | Al's Smart, Anyway. 'l‘HAT'S putting a load on Simmons’ shoulders. Poking that pellet in | pinches to the tune of 15 wins is &/ hefty order. Still, if Al goes along in| his average batting stride he'd have| a sweet chance to do just that. May- | be the Scotch-and-soda gent had something, at that. Over in the hamburger. house was another with a pat on the back for Al “He ain't got the legs he did have when he was with the A's,” remarked | this sunny soul as he ordered two well done, “but that baby is a smart ball| player. I never saw him make a| wrong play yet. He'll make up withi - “Gotta Show Us,” Growl Fans as Simmons Buy Makes *Em Sizzle. his noodle what he lacks in the legs. And Washnun aint had nothing since the Goose what could hit like Sim- mons.” At the tobacco store around the cor- ner & rugged Washington rooter backed the move made by Griffith and Harris. “What t'ell?. Yuh gotta have somebody in that there field,” he sounded off. “Reckon even a one-legged guy'd be better than any of that gang Bucky was trying.” But Simmons will have to do some tall outfielding and batting to bring around most of the crowd. “Getting a young team, huh? And they pick up an old spavined hoss,” growled the doorman of the hotel up the street. Woman Has Last Word. AB drivers, street car conductors, police and firemen were just as| caustic in their criticism. “Al'll have to hit ’em a mile to get away with it,” opined the cop on the beat near the| office. “If he can’t do that, he'll be| the league's leading double-play bat- ter.” | The man behind the necktie counter | was boiling mad. ‘‘He's gotta show me | plenty to make me believe it was right to cut down the speed of the club to get right-hand hitting,” he gritted. It was the practical business woman who expressed so briefly and to the point what was puz- zling most of the dissenters. The insurance company cashier, who knows her base ball plenty, snorted: “If he's any good, how'd we get him | so cheap?” BRADDOCKS CAVP | | /IS FOR WORK ONLY 'Deep in Wisconsin Woods, Six Miles From Highway, 24 From a Movie. | By the Assoctated Press.

FOUR IN DEADLOCK IN CUE TITLE PLAY Champ Caras Only One in Tie-up ‘Who Will Not See Action in Tourney Today. B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 6.—The defend- ing champion, Jimmy Caras of Wilmington, Del.; two former cham- pions, Ralph Greenleaf of New York and Erwin Rudolph of Cleveland, and & Brooklyn veteran, Onofrio Lauri, all were tied for first place in the world pocket billiards championship today. Caras joined the others yesterday by trimming Joe Diehl of Rockford, i1, 125 to 95, and is the only leader who will be out of action today. Greenleaf has a chance to strength- en his position in his match with Diehl, but Rudolph faces Marcel Camp of Detroit, who has won tnree and Jost three games in the tournament, and Leuri meets Benny Allen of Kan- sas City, another former titleholder, who has split four matches. In the other match of the day, Fay Galner, Vineland, N. J.,, who rallied to whip Andrew Ponzi, 1835 champion, in the final match, last night, plays Charles Seaback, Boston. This match, like the Greenleaf-Diehl game, is scheduled for the afternoon, while the | self for his championship ring engage- | final bell, the Herkimer hurricane was | ment with Joe Louis, in Chicago June 22.

At the end of five weeks he will establish a train- ing camp close to Chicago to sharpen his boxing. He probably will sneak in some boxing work here with his spar- ring partners, Charley Massera of Pittsburgh and Jack McCarthy of Boston in one of the finest gym- nasiums ever built. The gym, one of five buildings com- prising the champion’s camp, is of log construction and perfectly equipped with private dressing rooms, shower baths, steel ring, punching bags and other training parapher- nalia. The champion, with his sparring mates and Trainer Robb Lippman, is living in a log cabin built on & knoll on the edge of the lake. He eats im the main lodge, a three-story log building with 12 sleeping rooms. Makes 425-Mile Trip. DRIV!.NG through rain, sleet and snow, Braddock arrived here yes- terday after a 425-mile motor trip from Chicago. There was 3 inches of snow on the ground and the chill of Winter in the air, but the champion expressed eagerness to start his rou- tine despite unfavorable weather con- ditions. He stretched his 205-pound frame in the outdoor freedom of the wilds, breathing deeply of the pine- scented air.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, April 6 (#).— Elmer Layden, Notre Dame athletic director, today said a “Johnny O"Brien memorial game” would be played here on May 2, as graduating players and aspirants for next year's squad line up in the final game of Spring foot ball practice sessions. O'Brien, end coach, was killed in an auto crash in Chicago March 12.

For the past year after each victory, he has put on his old base ball cap and jabbered in broken English the same statement: “Now I want title fight.” He said it again last night and after a conference with Lew Burston, his manager, cleared his throat and added: “I want say Ambers he is great champeen.” Down the hall the “champeen’s” manager, Al Weill, was moaning about the decision, but not Ambers. “I never judge my fights. Win, lose or draw, I never know,” he said wisely. He did insist, however, that Montanez did not hurt him. This made it even, because Montanez had said Ambers didn’t hurt him. NEW HORSE SHOW PRIZE Tucker Cup to Be in Competition at Warrenton April 30. WARRENTON, Va., April 6 () — William R. Cummings, jr., of Paw- tucket, R. I, a former Stuyvesant School student, has presented a trophy to the Stuyvesant School Horse Show Association in memory of Luther L. Tucker, s student who was killed in an automobile accident near here last year. The annual show will be held April 30, when the new trophy will be of- fered in the touch and out class. The cup must be won three times before becoming a competitors’ per- manent possession. HOLE-IN-ONE JINX. A hole-in-one on the third of Rock Creek’s A course, following a par and a birdie, was too much for Don Garber, estwhile Western High athlete last week, who blew up from that point on. Garber had a total of 8 following his ace, but took that many strokes on the next hole alone. He was silent regarding his remaining play. HORSE SHOW MEETING. The Montgomery County Horse Show Association will select a board of di- rectors and officers at a meeting at Brookeville on April 14. President Josiah J. Hutton also announced that plans for the association’s annual horse show will be formulated at that time. 18 JUNIOR BOXERS INA.A.U. SGRAPS Every Section of U. S. and Hawaii Represented in St. Louis Event. BY the Associated Press. T. LOUIS, April 6.—Seventy- eight amateur boxers, from all sections of the country and Hawali, weighed in today for the opening rounds tonight of the Na~ tional A. A. U. junior boxing cham= pionships. Forty three-round fights were scheduled for tonight's card, and drawings were completed following medical examination of the boxers. Semi-finals and finals will be held to- morrow. Definitely in the “favorite” class were the six entrants from Honolulu. Only one, Gilbert Murakami, who competed in the 1935 senior nationals here, has ever fought in a United States ring. Murakami, however, re- tained his eligibility in the junior con= tests by never having won a junior or senfor A. A. U. title.* Four other Ha- waiians will take part in the senior championships at Boston next week. Two Sets of Brothers. ’I‘WO sets of brothers head the Ar- kansas celegation. Raymond and Rayburn Medlock are rated as title contenders in the 135-pound class. Neal Kinney, lightweight, and Regan Kinney, light-heavyweight, will have Brother Burleigh in the corner as a second during their battles. Tad Gorm, coach of the Southern team, predicted “at least three cham- pions” were included among his charges. Homer “Red” Davis, Loyola University heavyweight, has attracted the attention of fans in his workouts; Sewele Whitney, 112-pound South- erner, is out to avenge a 1935 defeat at the hands of Honolulu's Murakami. From Texas, Welterweight Arthur “Darling” Dorrell, Houston, and Light-heavyweight Johnny Buck of Texas Tech, Lubbock, are considered serious obstacles in any fighter’s drive to the top in those divisions Other entries include fighters from Boston, Memphis, Fort Benning, Ga.; Shreveport, La.; Tulsa, Okla.; Chiloc- co (Oklahoma) Indian Institute, Ok- lahoma City, Okla.; Evansville, Ind., and Bloomington, Ill, as well as Ozark A. A. U. boxers. DEFENDS AT.

Little likelihood loomed today of 8Sixto Escobar, world bantamweight champion, accepting the $3,500 offer of Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn to de- fend his title here against Harry Jef- fra of Baltimore, simply because New York promoters figure to outbid Ahearn before allowing that match to escape from Gotham. Escobar, who recently whipped Lou Salica in Puerto Rico to retain his crown, twice has been defeated by Jeffra in non-title fights. Baltimore also is anxious to obtain the bout, for Jeffra, rated the No. 1 challenger, has a large following there. Ahearn wired Lou Brix, Escobar's manager, offering $3,500 or 37% per cent of the gate for a 15-round fight to be staged at Griffith Stadium in the latter part of June. The Police Bene- fit Association card is scheduled for the latter part of May or early in June. WILL SPONSOR TEAM. Bond Clothing will sponsor a soft Dball team in the Sports Center League this year.
