SPORTS. NING - Mare Is DAWN PLAY HIGHLY BY SANDE Arlington Classic July 24 Likely to Give Lowdown on This Division. SANDE. There's the best 3-year-old fillies. Nobody has to hestitate about that rating. Because Robert Kleeberg's big brown daugh- ter of Clock Tower won the Acorn and Coaching Club and then went against the colts and whipped ‘em to a frazzle in the American Derby. It's seldom our American turf pro- duces a mare of any age capable of giving the best colts a serious argu- ment Dawn Play seems the exception In fact, I figure the 3-year-old ecolts which can whip her right now may be numbered on the fingers of one hand. The w insist you could do it with a hand that had been caught in a meat chopper The Classic at £ ngton Park July 24 will be the best test of that In the American Derby, Dawn Play did not whip several of the which may start in the classic. haps that's because they were entered.

They don't want fighters there . . . They want pretty dancers and posers.” Sarron, incidentally, says Speak- er's mother gave him the only real triming he ever has received . . . That was when Petey, working for a Birmingham grocery store, tracked mud into Mrs. Speaker's house . .. And received a pad- dling . . .

PRECEDENT in local boxing annals was established today when Bob May, manager of Bob Tow, Alexandria heavy- weight, requested the District Boxing Commission to reverse the decision which returned Jorge Brescia of South America & winner over Tow Tuesday night at Griflith Stadium in a feature 10-round bout. In a letter to the commission, May cited the fact that every sports writer present believed Tow should have been | awarded the decision. He further re- quested that Dr. Bob Eller, a judge, and Referee Muggsy Morris, who ruled against Tow in the split decision ver- dict, be ousted as officials. Brown Favors Draw, I\IAJ, ERNEST W. BROWN, chair- man of the Boxing Commission, expressed an opinion at ringside that the bout would have been a good draw, but Kenneth Parkinson and Claude Owen, other members of the board, felt the decision in Brescla's favor was justified. May's request, therefore, ap- parently will be rejected. Following is the letter: “Gentlemen: I desire to protest the decision of the referee, Muggsy Morris, and one of the judges, Dr. Eller, on the boxing contest between Bob Tow and Jorge Brescia rendered on the evening of July 6, 1937, at Griffith Stadium, and to ask that| mission. “It is natural that a manager | should be partial in a matter of this kind, but when I find that my | opinion on this contest is sustained | by every sports writer who was present, all of whom expressed surprise and indignation at the decision rendered, | as shown by the inclosed clippings, and when it is further remembered that & storm of protest came from those present when the decision was | rendered, I feel not only fully justified | in asking for a reversal of the decision, | but in asking, in the interest of the | sport, that neither of the above named gentlemen be allowed to act ERJOHNSON Sales Premotion Mgr.
