"B—10 = [ 3 ARCHIBALD CHOIE OVER CAPITALLAD Green D. C. Feather Fights | Vet With Hope of Shot at Sarron’s Title. BY BURTON HAWKINS, HE most enticing atural” this sector has wiinessed since George Washington squared off against the cherry tree will be offered tomorrow night at Griffith Stadium when Lou Gevinson, local question mark, bumps into Joey Archibald, pompadored Providence featherweight, in a fistic fuss opti- mistically scheduled for 10 rounds. Ironically, Gevinson, probably the likeliest prospect ever to emerge from amateur ranks here, will enter the ring on the wrong end of 5-to-2 odds, chiefly due to some rather crisp punching unveiled by Archibald in five performances in local rings. Lou, however, has contributed much toward the gap in the odds by con- tributing little to his ring record since | entering professional ranks. His prestige of amateur davs has back- fired somewhat and the sharp-faced | Jewish lad now definitely is on the &pot with local ringworms, who are anxious to see him in action against & foe of Archibald’'s caliber Gevinson Yet to Prove Class. GEV(NSON has been hailed as a possible Moses of the local boxing game, possessing persuasive paws that cut a wide swath in simon-pure circles, but which have yet to prove their potency among the paid clan. Archibald, on the other hand, came here as a preliminary boy and com- pletely captured the collective heart of local fans with his unorthodox, but highly effective, style, which re- sembles a pogo stick on a rampage. Both boys now have the same ob- jective—a championship bout With Petey Sarron, world featherweight title hoider. Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn currently is quibbling with my Erwin, Sarron’s manager, through the rather expensive cable method between here and South Africa. Differences are expected to be ironed out shortly, or Ahearn will | g0 broke. Anyway, the winner prob: ably will meet Petey here Septem- ber 27. Ahearn has offered Sarron $6,500 guarantee, but Erwin feels risking the crown is worth $10,000. Goldie has countered by boosting the champ's percentage privileges and the next move is up to Erwin. Sarron won his title here in May, 1936, from Freddie Miller, who received $10,000 on that occasion. Archibald Reveals Worth. SHOLLD Gevinson whip Archibald, he would enter the title argument, providing all goes well, with only six pro fights behind him. Two of these distinctly were mediocre while an- other was with an ordinary punch | absorber. The other two s S8W him lose to and kayo Johnny Pena, a | good fighter. Archibald won a decision over Buddy Grimes in his debut here and since has stopped, successively, Larry Gunn, Ray Ingram. Nicky Jerome and Harry Gentile. His knockout of In- gram on the Police card in June was one of the season’s highlights. The preliminary card will feature several new faces, with an old favorite, Irish Johnny Dean, returning to meet Al Dunbar, Brooklyn lightweight, in &n eight-round semi-final. Another eight-rounder lists Johnny Campo, New Haven featherweight, facing Jimmy Fox of Lynchburg, Va., while outstanding four-rounder find George Abrams, local middleweight, colliding with Charley Rondo of Balti- more, and Carrol Dell, Albany welter- weight, stacking up against Sam Bracala of Leonardtown. Md Willie McBride and Johnny Cooper, focal colored lightweights, launch the card in a four-rounder at 8:30 o'clock Lincoln Fields Entries for Tomorrow. By the Associated Press.

They are in tip-top condition and have all the personality of house dogs. His kennels consist of several neatly built stalls and crates in a sunny corner of the basement. The base- ment door opens directly into a long, fenced run which is screened by one of the loveliest gardens in that section of Virginia. This insures the dogs shade and privacy as well as cutting to a minimum the noise engendered by strange sights and sounds. Diana Thorne, the well-known ar- tist and illustrator, who specializes on | dogs with that personal appeal, writes a monthly dog column Magazine, which is published here in Washington. These columns are, of course, illusirated with her own in- imitable sketches, a different breed each month. These sketches and the brief breed histories which accom- pany them are worth collecting by the dog fan. for Nature Dogs and Gossip is & well known little publication sent free by the Diet- rich & Gambrill Dog Food Organ- ization of Frederick, Md.

Ryman that is worth ]\ ANY dogs get flybitten ears in the = Summertime, a painful and dis- figuring ailment. While a number of things have been suggested to pre- vent this condition, only one in my experience is 100 per cent effective— that is to get rid of all the flies. Some- times that seems impossible. The next best preventative is to coat the tips of the ears with auto- mobile cup grease. However, if the dog should be prick eared, the weight of the grease with the dirt which it in- evitably collects, is likely to pull the ears down unless they are of a very stiff texture. In those breeds which should have semi-prick or tipped ears, the grease is decidedly beneficial. If applied when the pup is young and kept on until after the teething period, it will help in establishing a proper “set” of the ears. Watchdogs Increase. CCORDING to a survey made by the American Kennel Club, there has been a decided increase in the number of watchdogs owned by city dwellers, According to their find- ings, “the pet type of dog is losing ground before the advance of dogs known to be capable of inflicting damage on prowlers who ply their nefarious trades (should that be in double quotes?) despite the best efforts of police officers.” Of course, the trend toward large dogs noted for their guarding instincts took a marked jump when kidnaping became so prevalent and profitable a few years ago. These dogs generally, however, have been kept on farms and country estates. Now, however, they are moving into the cities, and often right into the bed rooms of their owners and their owners’ chil- dren. ’I‘HE ‘Westminster Kennel Club, whose slogan is “A win at the Garden carries international prestige,” announces its complete list of judges for its show next February. This time, in spite of the slogan, the judges will be an all-American team. And for the first time in the history of this oldest club, best in show will be awarded by one of its own officers, John G. Bates of Morristown, N. J. Bates retired this year from the club presidency, but still heads the Board of Governors. Sam G. Allen of New York will sort the gun dogs. Hounds will be judged by J. Z. Batten of Montclair, N. J. Townsend Scudder of Greenwich, Conn., will do the working dogs; Oliver C. Harriman will judge terriers, Jimmy Trulliger of Harrisburg, Pa., will do the toys, and Theodore Crane, an- other New Yorker, will officiate in the non-sporting group. As usual, in order to reach the top, & dog will be passed on by three dif- ferent judges—a breed expert, & group judge and the man who makes the fina] decision.

MERKLE PURSUED - BY AGED BLUNDER Now a Bridge Tender, Might Have Been Diamond Boss Had Fans Forgotten. By the Associatea Press, AYTONA BEACH. Fla, July 31.—Fred Merkle forgot to touch second. For 29 years the fans have remembered that Merkle forgot—and perhaps that's why he maintains a bridge in Volusia County instead of managing a base ball club. Not so long ago Merkle took over the direction of a semi-pro club. The Jeering bleacherites still hadn't for- gotten. Their taunts rankled and Merkle relinquished the reins. Can't Get Away From It. JOW, a gray-haired man of 48, he leans against the bridge railing and watches the cars whiz by. Perhaps he thinks of that historic day—September 23, 1908—when Fred Merkle, promising 19-year-old rookie, committed base ball's classic blunder, a boner that cost the New York Giants & pennant. Yes, many fans remember how Merkle failed to run on to second and thereby cost the Giants a game they had to win from the Chicago Cubs in order to protect their slim lead. Forget He Was a Star. V\'OT 50 many remember that Merkle, a really fine first base- man, played major league base ball | for many years after that. But when he began to slip his blunder followed him. Occasionally nowadays some one stops to talk with him about base ball. The conversation at first usually centers around present-day stars— Carl Hubbell, Joe Di Maggio and Lou Gehrig—or about the pennant races. Sooner or later, though, the visitor harks back to that long-remembered day in 1908. 5 Then Fred Merkle, bridge superin- tendent, gazes off into space—and says exactly nothing. TRANSMUTE LINE STRONG. Although a number of noted stal- lions are represented in the consign- ment of yearlings that Thomas Piatt, Kentucky breeder, will send to the an- nual sales at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., next month, the majority of the young thoroughbreds were sired by Piatt's own stallion, Transmute judge pass on any of the breeds within his group. A few of the breed judges of particu- lar interest to local fanciers are Cas- well Barrie, Scotties; W. E. Baker, cairn and Kerry blue terriers; Harry Brunt, bulldogs; Alf Delmont, collies and English cocker spaniels; Dr. Jar- rett, dachshunds; Thomas Keator, wire hair terriers; Julian Platz, Boston ter- riers; John P. Wagner, great Danes; William A. Price, American cockers and the breed specials.

It will then be up to Tommy Farr to display the courage he learned in the c of his native Wales and the boxing booths of all England The best line f ished on Farr is supplied by Sonny Jones, welterweight champion of C: turned to in the and against Ben Foor E and Walter Neusel. Jones is a Bri subject and his words can be taken at face value. Right Hand Is Weak. JARR is what you might call an awkwardly clever boxer. By that I mean one who boxes off from & crouch and can jab upward or outward as fast as a fighter who stands up straight. In that position he can fend off leads and keep his jaw well pro- tected.

A feat of this kind is not always favored by the fans. A fighter must be good to be a consistent winner. A knockdown jars a fighter and hurts his pride. But experience ing a knockdown is a blessing in that it teaches a fighter what to be when downed. Instead of foolishly jumping to his feet and inviting a knockout, it teaches him to stay down and eol- lect his senses before getiing up and returning to battle. Sure to Be Socked.

It will further develop his stamina and legy for the test to come. Louis is not the one to take his newly-won honors lightly and he will press from the Opening bell. The fact that Joe and his managers did not bother much to demand a percentage of the move ng picture rights of the fight can only mean that the Bomber will be out to finish the fight as quickly as he can.

Stecial Dispatch to The Star NNAPOLIS, Md., July 31.—Lem Cooke, third baseman on the Navy nine last Spring, has developed into a pitcher this Summer and Marty Karow, coach, is pleased with his work and expects to use him on the mound next year. Cooke is & good hitter and probably will play in the outfield when not pitching. _Jerry Brucket is the only effective pitcher of last year who will be avail- able next Spring, and Karow is work= ing with several mound prospects this Summer. Cooke, however, appears to be much the best. Howard Thompson, shifted from second base to shortstop, is playing a fine game in the latter position. Cooke, who is from Mississippi and a second classman, also is a good backfield prospect for the eleven this Fall. Y.M.C.
