J,r*T intend to give up the crown and see what I can do among the heavies, Ihc authorities, of course, willing.” NEW YORK, July 19.—(JP)—Tom my Loughran was stil lruler of the light heavyweight brigade today and James J. Braddock, tJersey Citv puncher, had only a boxing lesson to show for his meteoric climb to the rank of contender. 7 Meeting Braddock in a 15-round titular battle at the Yankee stadium last night, Loughran piled up points with a stabbing left hand and won the decision beyond a question of a doubt. Not once during the struggle toudd Braddock land squarely with his right hand, without which the Jersey youngster would not have deserved to be in the same ring *with the champion. With that right hand Braddock had broken Pete Latzo’s jaw, knocked out Tuffy Griffith in two rounds and stopped the Buffalo speedster, Jimmy Slat tery, in nine rounds. Against Loughran, however, Brad dock could find no use for his most potent weapon. Outspeeded and out smarted aU the way, the Jersey lad -found the champion’s left always ready to catch the wild over-hand rights that came his way. Never has Loughran appeared to better advantage. His educated left had spent tmost of the evening in Braddock’s face. With it he kept the challenger off balance, thus neu tralizing the undoubted power that Braddock has in his fists. A crowd of some 25,000 saw the scrap with a “gate” in the neighbor hood of $90,000. Loughran weighed 174 pounds; Braddock 170. Shreveport Owners Elated As Browns Turn Back Hurler SHREVEPORT, La., July 19.—(JP) The failure of Oscar Estrada, Cuban hurler, to hit a wanning stride in the Texas league this year presents one of the strangest cases in local baseball history. The swarthy southpaw, who pitched such great ball for the Sports and Minneapolis Millers last Beason that he was drafted b ythe St. Louis Browns, has been turned back to the Millers by Manager * Phelan. His last start was against the Rallas Steers, who beat him handily. Estrada reported to the Sports as i an outfielder last year but was con » verted into a moundsman by Phe ' lan and proved one of the season’s best finds.

Reid, 70-Year-01d Star, Lands In Second Place Of Elks Match ---v __ ■■ n ■ ■■ . -—- . - FIGHT BY ROUNDS Round One Loughran led with his left jab and handled the challenger easily in a clinch. The champion came out of the mixup with a nasty gash over his left eye. Blood streamed from the cut. It seemed to spurt the champion into action and the fight began at a fast clip. Brad dock smashed a hard right to Tom my’s head but missed two swings. Loughran kept jabbing with his left but was unable to keep the chal lenger from coming in close with a body attack. They were in a clinch at the tell. Round Two They swapped punches in the center of the ring and clinched. The champion fought carefully, showing a healthy respect for Braddock’s right. Tommy slipped and only a clinch saved him from slipping to the floor as he dodged Jimmy's charge. The challenger was forcing the fight ’cut missing as often as he landed. Braddock landed an overhand right to the head as he forced the champion into a corner. Loughran went back on his heels from a solid left to the head just before the gong sounded. Round Three Loughran boxed and jabbed as he sought to stop Braddock’s dog gedly persistent rushes. The chal lenger started a fr~~h flow of blood from the cut over Tommy’s eye and gave the champion both fists in a lively mixup. Loughran’s defensive tactics slowed up the fight. Lough ran backed up against the ropes. Loughran chose to fight and smashed Braddock solidly about the head. One of the champion’s jabs opened a cut on Braddock’s nose just before the end of the round. Round Four After a succession of clinches. Braddock drove the champion back with a right to the head and a left hook to the stomach. The cham pion kept sticking his left into Jim my’s face and had the Irishman swinging wildly. There was a cut now under Loughran’s right eye. Braddock stalked his rival with right hand poised but seldom found a target as Loughran shifted and ; boxed cleverly. Jimmy took a stiff left to the nose just before the bell. Round Five Braddock drove a right hook to the ribs and repeated with an up percut that landed under Tommy’s heart. They spent a lot of time clinching at close quarters the champion clearly outgeneralled the young Jersey man. Loughran smashed a series of rights to the jaw and took a light feft to the body as he sidestepped Braddock’s counter attack. Tommy’s left seem ed to puzzle the challenger but he connected to the champions jaw with a hard overhand right. Lough ran hooked his left to the body as the round ended. Round Six Braddock came out of his corner 1 with head lowered to open a deter i mined charge. He forced the cham | pion about the ring but found dif ficulty connecting. Loughran side-1 stepped and jabbed to upset the j challenger’s rushes. Repeatedly he threw Jimmy off balance and pun ished the challenger about the head at close range. Braddock was buf feted around but kept up the pur suit. One of Loughran’s sharp lefts opened a cut at the side of Brad dock's right eye. The champion had his young rival in a bad way at the bell. Round Seven ; They came out for action and eachwith patched up eyes. The champion drove several hard Iclts and rights to Braddock's head and blocked the challenger’s counter. Loughran had Braddock backing away from his two-fisted drive. Just when Loughran appeared to have Jimmy in distress another severe cut was opened by a glancing blow to the champion’s forehead. In a twinkling Tommy’s face was a mass of blood. Loughran backed away and appeared half blinded by the stream but he had a smile left as he came to his corner at the end of the round. Round Eight Loughran came out to set a fast succession of sharp clouts to the challenger’s head and the crowd was in an uproar. The champion had Braddock missing badly. They clinched after exchanging lefts tc the body. Tommy took a left smack to the head but cuffed Jimmy around the ring. The champion handled his young rival as a master would his pupil. Braddock was taking a scientific boxing lesson at : the bell. Round Nine Loughran lost no time poking his efficient left hand into the chal lenger's face. Jimmy did not seem discouraged but apparently realized that his main chance was to connect with his right, providing he could find the target. Loughran out smarted the challenger at every turn but Jimmy kept boring in. One of Braddock’s blows started the blood flowing again slightly from the cham pion’s cut head. The challenger ab sorbed two stiff lefts to the head and had his counter blows plucked out of thq air. Braddock missed an overhand right by a foot and the crowd groaned as the round ended. Round Ten Jimmy came out with determina tion written all over his face. The challenger worked both fists to the body forcing the champion to a clinch. Loughran brought his de fensive tactics into play to check Braddock’s lunges. He brought Jim my up short once and then again : with right uppercuts. Loughran picked off most of Braddock’s blows and put the challenger repeatedly off balance by clever use of his left. They were suarring at the bell. Round Eleven Braddock plunged right in where he left off, still hunting for Lough i (Continued on page clcvcnJ _ The victory of George Bell over Ernest Fernandez, 50-42, and the remarkable winning stream of Charles Reid, grizzle-haired veter an, marked the fourth day of the Elks billiard tournament. The Bell-Fernandez game was viewed as the best match to be played in the tournament. Both played safe, however, and the game went 33 innings. Neither appeared to be up to top form. Bell was de cidedly off and at the midway point victory appeared almost certain for Fernandez. The tournament lead er whipped up in the last six rounds to score 19 points to Fer nandez* 3. Bell opened up with four scoreless innings. He missed several easy shots. Fernandez broke loose to a nice lead in the sixth inning when he ran up high score of 13.

Wednesday he sprang the surprise of the tournament by de feating Fernandez, defending champion, at straight billiards.

Wade continued his surpris ing run by pulverizing 49 out of 50 possible shots. Previously the best mark was 24 out of 25. Several gun ners had achieved this record. The skeeters have been striving for a perfect 25 for several months. Wade’s record was established on the new range just beyond the Buena Vista cemetery on the Old Point Isabel road. The lank sharp shooter has been threatening to break over the traces for some time. He has been breaking 23’s and 24’s with machine-like regularity. Wade was forced to share the spotlight with his own young sen. Bob. Jr., broke 16 out of 25 of the sailing targets with a .410—no little trick in itself. Jimmy George abandoned the Elks’ tournament billiard tourna ment long enough to shoot a 23 and a 21. Walker* and Markussen also made runs of 23.

Boggess As Utility Man Sends Beaumont Up League Ladder BEAUMONT, July 19— (A5)—Much of the credit for the sensational six game winning streak that carried Beaumont to the top of the Texas league ladder two days ago has been given to Dusty Boggess, demon export utility man, who filled the shoes of Bill Akers at short after the latter had injured himself in a fit of temperament. Boggess hit and fielded equally j as well as had Akers, and his enthu siasm did much to buoy up team spirits. Although signed originally as a catcher, Boggess has played almost every position on the club, and done it well. Akers put himself on the injured list when, after popping out on an attempted sacrifice, he took several hearty kicks at the galvanized iron water bucket. He showed up the next day with a limp.

Collapse Of Cats In Series Opense Comes As Season fs Stunner f (By The Associated Press) For a club that had just swept a three-game series with Shreveport and taken two out of three from Wichita Falls, the collapse of the Fort Worth Kittens in their opening series of he second half on southern soil stands almost unprecedented for the current season. When they moved into Houston four days ago the Cats, although crippled, were playing remancaDie? baseball. Their starting pitchers al most invariably were finishing, and the club was hitting hard and often. They were at the top of the stand ing, and it looked very much as though the Snydermen were going somewhere. The Buffs, on the other hand, had just finished dropping six straight, three of which were to Beaumont, and to all appearances Gene Bailey's boys had curled up. That, however, was just how it looked. The story of what happened in the last three days in the Bayou City was completed yesterday when the Buffaloes whipped the Panthers down, 9 to 5, and made it unan imous. In the three games Buff pitchers allowed the Felines just six runs, while not a single Fort Worth hurler was able to finish against the spirited Houston attack. The Cats were crippled by the ab sence of Ray Grimes, their slugging first baseman, and Manager Frank Snyder, but their play scarcely could have affected the outcome, so com pletely did the Buffs hold the upper hand. Fort Worth was not the only northern club to suffer in its open ing series in the southland. The Steers dropped two or three to San Antonio, salvaging the final, 5 to 3. The Spudders gained an even break with the Exporters when rain nipped their finaj. while Shreveport made it two out of three from the Cubs by battling to a 9 to 6 triumph in their 12-inning closer. Wichita, incident ally, eased into the lead by standing idle thanks to Waco’s demise. The new alignment today found Fort Worth at Beaumont, Wichita Falls at Houston, Shreveport at San Antonio, and Dallas at Waco. In terest will be centered, more or less, on the Buff-Spud argument the next three days.
