Rumor» And Reality Gathered From
This Sporting World
By JOHN A. CLUNEY_____
The Grist Of Athletic Contest
Saturday Slants On Sports
How would you like to promote two boxing shows on
succeding nights and draw 2,000 customers? Strange as
that may seem, it happened Thursday night at Savin KocK
where 5,000 fans saw the Steve Carr easily outpoint
Nathan Mann in a bout on which the Meriden short-enders
did all-right for themselves one gent collecting $125, which
was laid against $80 of his coin. Not only that but one
I of the losers was the far-famed “Dutch” Schultz who
j worked himself into a lather and lamost out of the ring
' of four bodyguards as he saw Nathan Mann get a neat
i boxing lesson and hit the deck in the sixth round, rhe
almost paternal interest of the New York gangster, who
' recently beat two income tax raps thrown at him by
Uncle Sam, arises from the fact that he “owns $1,500
worth of Mann, if he is worth that much.
The Hamden boy, now scaling 74 pounds, who was
taken to the big city of New York to be made a knocker
out, due to his natural punching ability, has been
slowed down to a walk, is unbelievably clumsy unless
he connects, and has failed to improve even a litle bit
where he could handle a boxer without looking too
foolish. Carr had comparitively easy sailing, for he
was taught exactly HOW to beat Mann and forgot noth
ing, the referee giving him six of the eight rounds.
Somebody brought a boy from Miami via Hartford to
box Phil Baker, the Norwalk iron man who has been hand
ed plenty of soft ones for a year or more, due to his man
agerial connections. The Miami mauler, one Red Guggino
turned out to be a ton of class and will grade any Con
necticut boxing program, for he can do everything re
quired of a top-flight ringman in a manner that would
make you gasp. Baker wound up with as nice a going
over as he has had since his ring career began five or six
years ago.
And while on the subject of young boxing taient
coming along in whirlwind fashion, there’s a 16 year
older from Hartford boxing in the amateur rings of the
state. His tag is Bobby Ivy, and he has been nick
named “Poison” Ivy by the writers, and believe you me,
a smart handler can make a small sized fortune with the
lad, who now weighs about 112 pounds and has more
class than a teacher giving free golf lessons.
Despite reports to the contrary, young George Mulli
gan will be among those present when Catholic University
footballers begin their 1935 workouts next week and will
probably see full season service as an end. And, should
the Washington Hills win the City Amateur League cham
pionship and go to Cleveland, Mulligan will be those con
spicuous by his absence, for Coach Dutch Bergman wants
him in Washington by Wednesday of next week, and that’s
what it will be, from all indications.
Sol Annenberg, the Naugatuck sportsman who is
also affiliated in the management of the Genlot Recrea
tion concern is turning over the receipts from his Pal
ace alleys in the borough on Saturday and Sunday, (to
night and tomorrow) to the Naugatuck Ambulance
Fund, the object of which is to raise enough coin to buy
a much needed motor vehicle for hospital rush duty in
the borough. Not only that but Annenberg is bringing
Jack White of New Haven, U. S. Sweepstakes champion
and Bill Tato of Waterbury to the Palace Alleys Sunday
night to roll an exhibition macth, scheduled for 8:30
o’clock starting. No admission will be charged either
night.
President Edward C. Foster of the National Boxing
Association, in his regular boxing news bulletin berates
the judge system at boxing bouts, mentioning the recent
Salica-Escobar thing as his basis for criticism. However,
he fails to mention Referee Arthur Donovan's vote which
went to Salica and gave him the bantamweight title, de
spite his scoring EIGHT rounds for ESCOBAR, six for
Salica and one even, or seven for each boxer and one even,
as another report had it.
Fearing that another defeat such as the corker
handed him by Charley Eagle would keep the 25 follow
ers of Tiger Jack Renault away from Savin Rock, the
big Tiger man was handed another sucker-shot in the
person of one Frank Doyle who was stopped in the third
heat by the hog-fat Renault Thursday night. Just an
other example to make one think of the days when
matchmakers sat up half the night figuring out real
FIGHTS for their patrons rather than how many tick
ets one fighter can get rid of.
From all accounts, Johnny Pile, the New York Hun
garian will prove the big crowd pleaser at Lakewood
Thursday night!

New Haven, Aug. 31.—All but
two of the swimmers in the big
field for the State A. A. U. Three
Mile title this afternoon will take
off from Savin Rock with their
eyes glued on the white lighthouse
which is the goa} on the eastern
shore at Lighthduse Point and
they will keep the mark in sight
all the time. The other two vicing
for the Cross Harbor swim prizes
and the honors that go with win
ning will not keep the finish in
sight because they will be swim
ming backstroke all the way.
Getting across in the usual free
style manner is tough enough for
a lot of them, but the two back
strokcrs, Ed Poscavage, of Nauga
tuck, and Robert Davies, of West
Haven, claim that they wouldn't
make it at all swimming in the
orthodox manner. Davies is the
son of Chick Davies, former major
league pitcher.
Both have figured in state swims
in the past and have stuck to
their specialty of swimming on
their backs, arms windmilling to
propel them through the water—
and they have had singular suc
cess.
Thus there will be a race within
a race this afternoon when New
England's outstanding water class
ic is staged.
There was a sudden cessation of
entries to-day, with only one show
ing in the mail and that only a
possibility depending on the whim
of the National Guard authorities.
Frank Manente, a former candi
date for championship honors, is
the possible entry. His letter, re
ceived to-day, read:
“Unoffcial report has it that
New Haven troops encamped at
Pino Camp will leave for home
3:30 a. m. Friday. Upon arrival,
some thirteen hours later, each
regiment will be requested to re
main in their respective quarters
until midnight Saturday. Should 1
be permitted to leave quarters be
fore 3 o’clock Saturday you can
count me in the annual Cross Har
bor swim.”
If Manente's entry is to be
counted the list to-day shows 46,
Uvlth 41 in tho men's division and
only five in the women’s division.
Margaret Scully, former cham
pion, may beat the starting line if
she can get away from nursing
duties at St. Mary’s hospital, and
there is a likelihood of several en
tries from Bridgeport.

(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Forest Hills, N. Y., August 31—
(UP) — Outside a cold, heavy
drizzle was falling, and the courts,
so bright and green under the mel
low sun of the opening day, were
stippled with pools of water. The
winding paths among the courts
were slushy underfoot, the gaily
colored umbrellas of the tea gar
den drooped dismally, and the bare
concrete stadium rose rejectedly,
row upon row.
But inside the cozy home of the
West Side Tennis Club it was snug
and warm and cheery. Scattered
about ol’ Berkeley, It’ll cost him

JOE LOUIS PROMISES
KNOCKOUT OF MAX
BAER NEXT MONTH
“Anybody Will Go If You
Hit ’Em Right,” Says
Detroit Bomber
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Pompton Lakes, N. J., Aug. 3.—
(UP)—Joe Louis stopped sucking
an orange and remarked:
‘‘He can’t stop clowning. Every
body’s got one certain thing they
do. His is clowning and mine’s
fighting.’’
The undefeated Detroit negro
heavyweight was talking about his
next opponent. Max Baer, and be
fore he was through it was easy
to perceive that he has no more
respect for the ability of the ex
champion than he had for Primo
Camera and King Levinsky, his
two latest K. O. victims.
"I hope he starts clowning the
night of the 24th, that’s what I
hope.” Joe said.
The Sepia slasher called the
round on camera. Maybe he was
ready to call the round he’d stop
Baer?
"I am to put Baer away,” said
Louis, ‘‘but I can’t call the round
yet. Chappie (Jack Blackburn, his
trainer) and me have got to get to
gether on that and there’s plenty
of time to figure it out.”
“Baer’s never been stopped, you
know,” Louis was told.
‘‘Anybody can be stopped If you
hit 'em right,” he shot back.
Louis arrived here yesterday but
won’t start training until Wednes
day. Meantime he plans to spend
most of his time sleeping.
The Brown Bomber is happy
over his K. O. over John Barley
Corn. Before he agreed to train
at Pompton Lakes again he made
Dr. Bier promise to close the bar.
‘Tm here to train," Joe said. “I
don’t drink and"! don’t want to be
bothered by drinkers."
And Louis finally has a girl
friend. She is Marva Trotter, of
Chicago. A Chicago negro paper
reported they were engaged.
"I was sorry that report got
out,” Joe said. ‘‘She called me up
and .said she never gave it out. I
was glad, ’cause she's a nice, home
girl and I like to dance with her.”
Then Joe went back to his bunk
to sleep the real of the afternoon.
down to talk of the game they play
and watch and love.
"Remember that shot of so-and
so’s In the third set at the Queens
Clubs’ .... ‘I’ve been playing 10
years and still can’t handle that
sort of ball”. . . . "Helen would
have been crazy to play in this
tournament” . . . "Nothing to gain'
and everything to lose” ... “I
don’t like the way he makes his
backhand volley” . . . “Too bad
about ol' Berkeley, itlll cost him
his first 10 ranking" . . . and on
and on and on.
Someone in the group huddled in
the corner by the window men
tioned Fred Perry and the gang
ling fellow with his feet curled
under him said he’d like to see
Ellsworth Vines play the English
man for the championship of the
world. The tall gangling fellow
was Bill Tilden and his listeners
paid him the attention due the
master of them all.
"Elly’d pin his ears back, sure as
I’m sitting here,” Bill said. "And
it wouldn’t take him five sets to
do it, either. You know, Vines is
hitting the ball better right now
than any player*,I ever saw.
Speed, control, brains—he’s got
everything.”
Didn’t Bill think Perry was a
great player?
“I don’t know. He’s either the
best-worst or the worst-best player
I ever saw. I can’t make up my
mind which it is. He hits every
shot wrong—every single one. I’ve
been hitting a tennis ball a long
time, but if I tried to make a fore
hand drive the way he does, I’d
either hit the middle of the net or
I somebody sitting up in the top row
of the stands. Yet he must be a
great tennis player. You don’t go
on winning all the tournaments
unless you are. Maybe his ideas on
stroking are right and ours all
wrong.
“I think I know the secret of
Fred’s success—he’s got the most
amazing right wrist sport ever saw.
It’s strong as iron and abnormally
supple. He makes every shot with
it. Of course, he's got a beauti
ful eye and is as fine a conditioned
athlete as there is in the world.
The speed with which he starts a
flfth set is enough to break an
opponent’s Wart."
Donald Budge, the sensational
California red-head, agreed with
Tilden that Perry was entirely un
orthodox. And Budge, like Tilden,
thinks Gottfried von Cramm of
Germany is the better player of
the two. There were dissenters,
however. Mercer Beasley, the
coach who has developed a dozen
stars, thinks Perry is very limited
in the number of his strikes—
Beasley says he has but. seven
against the 20 or more possessed
by Tilden and Vines—but that he
executes the seven perfectly.
Vinnie Richards also rates Perry
as the near-perfect player.
"His greatest asset,” Richards
said, “is his stamina. I honestly
believe he could run the marathon
distance in creditable time tomor
row. There never was a court cov
erer who, for speed and stamina,
could touch Fred.”
Your correspondent, a quiet by
stander up until then, just had to
put in his word. And It was some
thing to this effect:
Perry, right or wrong, will
breeze through the tournament to
the championship.

SPOQTSMAN'S
SCRAPBOOK
Morris Ackerman and one
bi sgilver king that didn’t get
away.
By MORRIS ACKERMAN
Outdoor Writer
So fine a fish is the tarpon that
one is enough for any angler to
kill.
The good feature of tarpon
fishing, unlike big game hunting,
is that you can release your fish
humanely after having had the fun
of catching it.
The thrill of thrills in big game
fishing is landing, that first one.
And a fair average for bringing
the silver king to boat is one in
ten strikes. ,
There is a characteristic in tar
pon fishing that is unfailing.
Though you don’t see the fish
strike you know it is a tarpon be-,
fore the first run is over. They al
ways take the air immediately
the drag bothers them.
From observation in catching
tarpon and watching many taken
by other anglers I am convinced
a total of five jumps is a fine aver
age. The jumps, though spectac
ular, are not high in the air. A
fish that clears the water its own
length does a good job, and the
popular supposition that the tar
pon leaps 15 or £0 feet is false.
Most tarpon fishing is engaged
in early morning. "If you don't
get ’em by 6 o’clock, you don’t get
'em," is a familiar slogan.
The usual method of silver king
fishing is trolling and live bait.
Trolling in the cuts and passes
between the Florida Keys and live
bait in the open Gulf of Mexico.
A favorite natural lure is the blue
crab.
This little fellow is ^hooked
through the shell and an attempt
made to "drift’’ it into the llna. of
travel of the fish. Live bait and a
cork. ‘In reality you are still
fishing.
If a tarpon could give you the
proportionate battle of an ouan
aniche, size considered, you would
travel a long way to see the per
formance. Landing time depends
on weight of fish and tackle used.
An average is 15 to 30 minutes.

HEADER IN VALLEY
LEAGUESUNDAY
Torrington vs Thomaston,
Watertown at Woodbury,
Cheshire at Litchfield
Three important games are
slated for this week for the fans

second series championship plays.
The Cheshire Cats will journey

fans to witness this game.

IN CRUOAL TILT
Hearts vs Recreations;
Loss for Either Leader
Will Be Costly
Waterbury’s representative base
ball team in the national amateur
championships which begin play at
Cleveland next Saturday will, in all
probability, be . decided by the
Brooklyn A. C, tomorrow afternoon
at Hamilton Park. With the sched
ule calling for the three last games
of the season, Myles Kelley and his
boys hold the key to the title situ
ation, which is still in a tangle, as
two teams, the defending Cham
pion Sacred Hearts and the Wash
ington Hills are tied for the lead.
The Big Game
Tomorrow, Brooklyn* and Hills
meet in the feature of the City
Amateur league triple bill at 3:46
o’clock. A win for Brooklyn means
the Sacred Hearts are champions
again and will be,the team from
Waterbury at Cleveland, with the
slight proviso that the also win to
morrow in their game with the
Recreations, which, form says they
should do without too much trou
ble. The North End Thomas club
and Tribunes meet in the other
game.
Fan Magnet
All interest will, of course be
centered in the Hllls-Brooklyn
clash with a probable turnout Cf
7,600 fans in prospect. Manager
Kelley has George "Yocka” Blinn
to shoot against the Hill hitters
while Joe Strokalaitis will probably
start for the Baldwin street club.
Strokalaitis, by the way, wlH also
see service with the American
Brass second series game today
with the Chase outfit, which, by a.'
strange coincidence is managed' by
Myles Kelley, who also handles the
Brooklyns tomorrow. If Strokalaitis
goes the full nine Innings today,, he
will hardly be up to his best effort
when the faces Brooklyn tomorrow.
Earl Selenske is the other Hill
starting pitcher, who also pitches
for American-Brass. All in all, the
Hearts seem to be in a pretty good
Spot, though they will have to play
off one game with the Hills If the
Brooklyns are beaten tomorrow, the
game to be played Monday or Tues
day, the time to be decided by the'
managers after the game tomorrow.
