A—18 s Bantam Limit Tricky for Jeffra : McLeod Quarter Centu APTTOSAPPONER FORESCOBARBOUT Harry, at Best Around 120, Can lll Afford to Shed Even Few Ounces. BY SPARROW McGANN. EW YORK, September 13— Harry Jeffra is a product of a city which produced one of the greatest champions ever to grace the bantamweight throne. Kid | Williams and Baltimore, Md. were | synonomous with spirited battles when the class boasted such high-class fighters as Johnny Coulon, Pete Her- | man, Frankie Burns, Eddie Campi, etc. | ‘Williams reigned supreme until one | of his right hooks landed below fair | territory in a fight with Johnny Ertle, | and, from that day on, his sun seemed | to set until Pete Herman wrested the title from him in a 20rround tussle. | The Dundee brothers, Vince and Joe, | shared the Baltimore spotlight in | heavier divisions, and the passing of | the Scotch-named Italians cast a | gloom over Baltimore's lesser fistic | lights until Harry Jeffra sprang into prominence with a knockdown and a decisidn over Champion Sixto Escobar, | Fight fans, however, generally ac | cepted the victory as a “home town decision” and it was not until Mike Jacobs pitted the pair in a return match at the New York Hippodrome Jast Fall that Jeffra opened the eyes of the skeptics by outfighting apd out- punching Escobar in a 10-round battle. | | Weight Loss Endangers Jeffra. | HERE was one thing, however, | which created much comment | and that was the build of the fidgety | Baltimore Italian. At 120!, pounds | he appeared fit, but it seemed if he tried to take off the 3! pounds mar- | gin over the bantamweight limit it woul impair his strength and punch- | ing power. | Ten months have now passed since Jeffra won from Escobar. The South- ern boy has not had to make weight for his bouts and weighs only slightly Jess than 122 pounds. How, then, will he shape up here September 23, when he must take off 4 pounds and travel 15 rounds—the first, by the way, he has been called upon to negotiate— | against a natural bantamweight, who, pound for pound, has proved to be the best puncher of all divisions? ‘Tackling a boy who defeated him in an over-the-weight match will be| nothing new for Escobar. Indian Quin- tana turned the trick and was in- vited to do it all over again at /118 | pounds. The bushy haired Indian was all slicked up and visioned a triumphal | return to Panama as he danced out | of his corner an lanced a light left Jab in the direction of the bantam king. N Escobar Has Real Punch. E A SHARP exchange of blows, fol-| lowed by an accurate right, and Quintana was dead to the world. It| ‘was the quickest knockout by a ban- | tamweight champion on record. Will | Harry Jeffra go the same way? | Ounces mean much to the little fellows; and pounds may spell the doom of Jeffra. Little fellows as| a rule apply themselves to training more assiduously than those of heavier | classes. For this reason they are| nearly always in perfect shape when they enter the ring. One often learns of a lightweizit or ‘welterweight shedding 8 or 10 pounds | without it showing any ill eflect on| his work. A good case in point is Frankie Klick, the former junior light- | ‘weight champion, who could mix with | featherweights or lightweights and make weight withoub impairing his strength. Boxers of the Klick type depend on cleverness, whereas Jeffra is but an ordinary boxer and depends mostly on a sustained attack and powerful blows for victory. He figures to come & cropper against Escobar if only for the reason that the Puerto Rican can| step around fast and at equal weights | is the sharper and harder hitter of @ the two.

Bert Way, at Cieveland, and a couple of other pros in Connecticut | and Tennessee are the only ones who | have outlasted Freddie McLeod on a | single job. | McLeod has seen Columbia develop | into a national championship course, | He's turned out some great players, among them Roland MacKenzie; he's | played in possibly more national championships than any man in the game, barring MacDonald Smith, and | he still can cuff the ball around Co- lumbia in respectable figures. But Fred would be the last man in the world to claim he is as good as he was back”in the days when he rated among the first half-dozen profession- als in the United States—as a player and teacher. He still rates high as a teacher, but Fred doesn't pay any | attention to tournament golf any more. | Has Unique Distinction, T'S a pretty tough strain on a 56- year-old gent to play 36 holes of medal-play golf, and Fred's game isn't what it used to be in the days when he could hit em under the wind and make a golf ball sit up and talk. It's been a long and honorable career | in golf that McLeod has enjoyed. Al- | most from the day he lahded in New York, goggle-eyed with amazement at | the wonders of the new world, Freddie | was a topnotcher. He remains the only pro in this sector of the land who can add “former national champion” to his monicker, and he remains one of the masters of chipping and putting. A guy gets that way after a few years of hanging around golf, but Freddie always had it. He learned the art of stroke-saving via the short- game route on the abbreviated little course at North Berwick, and he hasn't forgotten an jota of that skill over the years that have seen him become the national champion, frequent winner of other tournaments and a figure in the game which he has graced so many years, Quick Diagnostician. RED McLEOD probably will remain at Columbia as long as he wants the job, and he gives no indication of being any less durable than he was as a fresh-faced little guy of 25. As & teacher he rates very close to the top. Some of his pupils have said he asks them only to swing a couple of times and then points out the fault. He doesn’t go through any lengthy rigmarole with a pupil. But he can put his finger unerringly on the wrong spot. Fred McLeod has been a credit to professional golf. Hope he goes on and on, forever. 5 PLY B'.OW-()“T P ROTEC"ONRnde on Silvertowns!
