Big Bid FFER F §150 5 CABLEDPETEY Eagerly Sought to Battle Man Who Badly Batters, Stops Gevinson. s BY BURTON HAWKINS. VER an alleged nose which resembled the rudder of the Queen Mary, Lou Gevinson today peeked out of his one functioning eye and viewed a future definitely more difficult than the pat- tern he has followed to date. The hamburgered local featherweight still is promising, but sadly lacking in al few vital ring lessons. Meanwhile, Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn, enthused by the manner in which Joey Archibald disposed of Lou after 2 minutes and 45 seconds of the eighth round last night at Griffith Stadium, tacked $1,500 to his original offer to Petey Sarron for a world featherweight title bout here late next month. Ahearn today cabled a guarantee of | $7.500 to Sarron to defend his crown against the maneuvering midget who has captured this sector's support with an effective, unorthodox style, which thus far has left a trail of butch- ered faces. Lou Nicked Too Frequently. GEVINSON'S features have been re- arranged & bit following his un- ttmely collision with the Providence puncher and there is a faint suspicion | that his defensive tactics also may need altering before he may be con- sidered title timber. been swatted rather freely in three of his six professional engagements, all of | which augers for revision of sf’y]c or erasure from fistiana's top flight. While Lou may have been overrated as a fighter, perhaps he also has been | underestimated from the standpoint of courage. Hopelessly battered, stag- gering and feeble after Archibald un- leashed his most crushing blows in the eighth, Lou nevertheless still weaved forward and futilely pleaded with Ref- eree Denny Hughes not to stop the scrap from the rather embarrassing sitting position in which Joey finally dumped him. Defeat, a bitter dose to the lad who had been hailed as the finest fistic thing ever to happen to Wash- Ington, was taken in stride by Lou. He gave his customary little strut and wave to the crowd before leaving the ring and was as fine a sportsman In losing as he ever has been in winning. Victory also came to Archibald in | stride. The cocky little fighter, when | oM Reading, Pa. some one asked the usual dressing- room question about whether Lou hurt him at any time, replied “Naa.” Manager Al Weill then took Archy aside and informed him newspaper men were thick, but, after all, they had seen the fight. Joey Tells All—Correctly. HUS advised, Joey ambled back to the conversation and granted that Lou was & terrific puncher who nearly dropped him in the sixth frame with & series of lefts. Archibald's face, cut under and over the right eve and a sliced mouth, were mute testimony to the authenticity of his revised statements. Joey was carved up & bit, but Lou's | angular face resembled the business | end of a busy meat grinder. With nasty cuts under both eyes, a pufled right eye the size of peach and a nose swollen to abnormal proportions, Lou was prey for the nearest hospital. Certainly he has | SPORTbS. < T Gevinson Was Lone Loser as Cash customers got their money's worth in the bristling | battle at Griffith Stadium last night that ended with Joey a kayo victor over Lou. Here the invader is seen scoring with a left while his right is poised to send his foe to the canvas in round 8. Note that Arch has both feet off the floor as he connects. HAT happened to the out- of-towners in the Middle | Atlantic tournament? Such vague answers as, “Just didn’t show up,” “Haven't heard from them” and the like are all the committee seems to know, but in any event, no such wholesale defaulting ‘hu occurred in years as that which | has marked the current competition. | Out of 18 entered from points out- side Washington only 3 remained to- | day, and of the 15 to fall by the wayside, 10 were defaults. | The entire Philadelphia contingent | —Bill Tilden, 3d; Hunter Lott, Tom Ridgeway and Joe Oldhausen—drop- | ped out by this method. So did the Kreska brothers, Chester and Frank, And so did Tom Miller of Wilkes-Barre, Frank Broida of Pittsburgh and Thad Benton of Orange, N. J. ‘Two of the five to be eliminated in play were beaten either Saturday or Sunday, but yesterday joined their fellow victims. Fred West of Lynchburg was beaten in a | queer match by Charley Parks of | Miami, Fla,, who dropped the first set at love and then took two 6—2 decisions. Jimmy Ford, also of Miami, was stopped by Harry March in a long duel, 10—8, 6—0. And Hubert Simmons, popular and The punch that atarted Lou to- ward enforced temporary ring rest| was 8 right to the jaw that must have been wound up in the bleacher | seats. Gevinson actually was lifted | a full 3 inches from the floor from the force of the blow, going into | 8 crazy half spin and winding up on the floor for a count of nine. From then on it strictly was & matter of time. Lou swayed into the | ropes for & count of one and Archi- | bald viciously closed in for the kill| with both fists, pumping until | Gevinson collapsed into the ropes in 8 sitting position and Hughes merci- tully terminated the fuss. Fight Even Until Eighth, BEFORE that dramatic eighth round the fight could have gone either way, both with officials, the | orowd and the fighters. One official thought Gevinson two points ahead &t the end of the seventh session, one had Archy two points in front and the other had scored it even to | that point. showed Lou winning at that time by & two-point margin. During those seven rounds the tide | of battle swayed like the needle on a tilted compass, with Joey ducking under most of Lou’s lefts, but for- @etting to duck quite a few other im- portant ones. Archy's most effecti weapon was & flying left hook, de- lvered in midair, but Lou brushed these aside and Joey forced to alter his style. Perhaps the turning point of the scrap materialized after the sixth | round, when Al Weill, Joey's manager, told Archibald exactly how to toss nis punches. Welll. you see, had detected | a flaw in Lou's defense and com- | manded Joey to shoot right hands | {rom a half crouch during the seventh | round. It worked. | s00n | was | Both Guilty of Fouling. LOU LANDED his southpaw socks below the equator on several oc- casions, but Archibald also was guilty of violating accepted ring conduct. Joey's head, you see, was a very con- Venient instrument with which to bump Lou's prominent nose. ‘The preliminaries leaned slightly to- ward the vaudeville side, but Irish Johnny Dean, transplanted North Carolina lightweight, and Al Dunbar of New York, packed more action into their three minutes of swinging than ‘Was combined in the others. Dunbar was dropped three times in the first round, but arose the first two times to retaliate strongly before Dean smacked him to the canvas as the bell rang. Al failed to respond to treat- ment during the minute interval and the fight was awarded to Johnny.

THREE STARS FALL IN MEADOW TENNIS McDiarmid, Harris and Nakano Out—Riggs, Yamagishi and Other Seeded Netmen Win. By the Associated Press. OUTHAMPTON, N. Y., August 3.— Minus three of its bright stars but with plenty left to shine, the forty- seventh men'’s invitation tennis tourna- ment at the Meadow Club entered its second round today. Jack McDiarmid, the Princeton pro- fessor who was seeded third; Charles Harris of West Palm Beach; Fla., No. 4, and Fumiteru Nakano, Japanese Davis Cup player, found the first- round opposition too tough yesterday. McDiarmid, far off his best game, ran into Gardnar Mulloy of Miami when he was at top form and took a 6—1, 6—4 beating; Harris couldn't keep pace with Don McNeill, national Junior indoor champion from Okla- homa City, and lost 8—6, 6—1. Nakano blew a match to Owen An- derson of Hollywood, Calif., after the U. C. L. A. player had tossed away a couple of chances at match point in the third set. The scores were 6—8, 6—2, 8—6. Bobby Riggs of Los Angeles and Jiro Yamagishi, Japan's Davis Cup ace, Jjustified their top seedings by de- cisive victories over Dwight F. Davis, jr, and Ernile Sutter, respectively. Second-seeded Greg Mangin, Gilbert Hall and Sidney Wood also came through. A couple of other first-round matches, notably that between Frank | Shields and Julius Heldman, were held over until today.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 3.— Buddy Scott, one of two boxing broth- ers from Washington, D.

TEAESLT By Walter McCallum = NE of the great pair of hands in golf belong to Leo Walper, the gent from Bethesda, Md., who clowned his way through the last round in the Middle Atlantic | P. G. A. champlonship at Old Point | Comfort, Va., to win by two shots with | a 72-hole total of 289, A brace of sturdy mitts toughened by early years of farm work, and made | even tougher by mature years devoted | to a throwback at harvest time of | the same corn-cutting propensities, | have given Walloping Leo hands that | rate in our book only second to those of Tommy Armour for strength. In- | deed Leo, put him on a man-to-man | hand-wrestling bout, might even wres- tle down Tommy, even as he has pinned the big mitts of such huskies as Henry Picard, who has no ladylike pair of maulers. JEW people know it, but Leo goes | every once in a while to the family farmstead near Shepherdstown, W. Va, for a day or two of tussling with a corn knife. “I don't know of any work in the world that will toughen vour hands for golf like cutting corn,” says the new king of the Mid-At- lantic professionals. “It makes swing- ing a 15-ounce driver feel like child's play.” And furthermore there isn't & man in this entire sector who works harder at the game than this same Walper. From the days when he worked on | the old farm as a youngster he has | cultivated the habit of getting up early. Nary a dawn but finds him up at 5 am, and usually an hour or | so later you'd find him on the practice | tee of his driving range at B«elhesdn,i He worked for five hours on the prac- tice tee last Thursday, drove 200 miles to Old Point Comfort and played 18 | holes of golf. He's nothing if not a horse for work. And the following day he won the | amateur-pro, and two days later he | won the championship. You could write a Dick Merriwell yarn about Walper, the farm boy who made good in the sissy game of golf. If you want to call such hard work for a goal sissy business. Three or four years ago the | guy was a golfing punk, a gent who | counted it a big day if he shot 75. But he played two straight rounds, under pressure, in the final round of the championship in 140 shots, over s course whose par is 144. It takes more By Gtorge € HuseR- ALL TIMBERS, often an inter- esting place to toss a line,. is entering the news again with big striped bass. Recently these stripers have been active around the famed rock pile and have been taken both by trolling and drift fish- ing with a crab on the line. One difficulty about crab fishing at present is the high price of bait. Soft crabs are scarce, but if you can get them the fishing will be that much better because there are few in the water for the fish to feed upon. Right now trolling is the method being used to snare them. Last week ocatches up to 8 pounds were not uncommon, and several right on up to an over the 15-pound limit were One difficulty about trolling over the rock pile is the danger of a fouled line. To get away from that the boat- men are using very heavy sinkers and short lines, which drop almost directly under the boat, but which can be con- trolled to keep them from fouling. When a guide there uses a heavy sinker he uses one weighing a pound or more, which takes all the sport out of fishing, no matter how large they are or how much fight they could offer under ordinary circumstances. There is nothing the sport fisher- man can do to get sport other than use the expensive crab method or take a chance of a fouled line using a light sinker and plenty of line. Chum Hard to Get. BLU‘!S in the lower Potomac still are rather scarce. Capt. R. M. Rogers, who was in town yesterday, has caught only one this season, but be says that several other guides have had 4 pounds. Chum will be available about the end of this week here in the city. Right now you have to go to Galesville to get it. Capt. Noah Hazzard informs us he has limited quantities each day, and will sell it at $1 a bushel, first come first served. If you phone him first at West River 201-F-11 he will reserve some for you. Galesville is about 30 miles from here and way off the road to Ridge and Piney Point, and it is worth paying the 25 or 50 cents extra per bushel demanded for chum when it is available in Wash- ington. The messy stuff is of no earthly use here in the city except for fishermen who want to take it back to the bay with them, and market men have to be pretty sure of a sale before they will handle it. The only place where chum is avail- able right on the fishing grounds at present is Reedvill, Va. Two cap- tains there, R. B. Shelton and R. B. Moore, who specialize in blue fishing and nothing but blue fishing, always have it ready. Nearby Bass Notes. SEV!ZRAL bass are being caught every day by Little Falls. Live bait almost exclusively is doing the trick, but that hasn't stopped plug casters from pulling out one occa- sionally. Gunston Cove has plenty of bass in it, they can be seen swim- ming around in the clear water, but they are refusing to bite because of the oversupply of food available, Sunday the bass season opened in tidewater Maryland. That means that there are no closed sections in the vicinity of Washington now. In- cluded in this latest section to open is Piscataway Creek, near Fort Wash- ington, and Nanjemoy Creek, just be- low Indian Head on the river. No license is needed in either place, pro- vided that you don't go so high up that you pass the tidewater mark. Rowboats for fishing Piscataway can few, none going over -, than a sissy and more than a farm- hand to do that. It's regular Dick Merriwell stuff. THAT pair of sturdy mitts, hardened by years of farm toil, helped him through those trying final rounds, when he called on those hands to take more punishment than a corn Kknife hands out. This Walper guy has what it takes—including the physical equip- ment. And no man playing golf has a saner mental outlook on the game BUDDY SHARKEY, the smooth- stroking lad from Gonzaga, is the new holder of the Tribal Bowl at the Indian Spring Country Club. Buddy licked John P. Holzberg, former club | champion, by 2 and 1, in the final round of the tourney.
