“What Does It Prove”
Bout Gives Sailor
$30,000 for Trouble
XXT’HILE beating his Basque
’ ’ Woodchopper par in slapping
over the Boston Bartender at
Yankee Stadium, Joe Jouis was
far short of his top Chicago King
fish performance. Yet, even though
it took one minute and two seconds
of the third round before he could
convince a trembly-legged, eye
scarred, thirty-three-year-old veter
an that he had enough, this falling
short of perfection should not be
held against Joe. He did the job
assigned to him and probably the
whole Vassar Daisy Chain team
could not have done it any better
Whether he is, by any chance, the
same gifted athlete he was before
the Schmeling mis-
■lL**''-**' vl
Jack Sharkey.
take is something
that need not be
gone into here. Cer
tainly he entered
the ring more
blithely than for any
other New York ap
pearance up to date.
Even before he got
his first glimpse of
that dreadful Shark
ey man, who, by
the way was the
round-heeled riot of
two rounds and 1.02 later, he was
grinning.
That, of course, may have been
because he was getting his first
glimpse of Leon Kettchel, the hu
man beanpole who some day may
be stood up to be bowled over in the
same alley and under the same
benevolent auspices as last night.
It also might have been because a
youngster, whose best ballyhooers
had been doing masterpieces about
his “shellshocked” reactions, was
at last coming to realize that in
stead of going into a battle he was
facing a pink tea.
Anyhow, it hardly matters. Keep
ing his right up high, as he did
not against the fairly young and
fairly agile Schmeling, Louis start
ed slowly. Perhaps a punch into
those whiskers he has never yet had
time to grow might have caused
him some inconvenience and slowed
him up even more. But, even though
the leaden-footed, half-bald Sharkey
made some motions, which indicat
ed that Joe still has a bit to learn
before being better than even mon
ey against such two-legged gents
as Ettore, Pastor and John Henry
Lewis, nothing much happened.
Sharkey went through the first
round as if surprised that the bad
news was so long delayed. So, he
pawed his bemused way into the
second round, scarcely landing a
blow. He went down from a right
to the jaw, got up and went down
again shortly thereafter from a
right, a left and a feeling of futility.
In the third round he again was
bowled over twice, once sprawling
over the lower strand of ropes.
After this he got up. He was not
as badly beaten as was Louis in
the Schmeling fight and it is prob
able that he expected to go on. But
Referee Donovan had already
counted ten. So that was that. The
battle of “What Does It Prove?”
was over and, even though the radio
and movie concessionaires may
squawk to the high heavens, there
will be no rematch. Sharkey now
can go back to Boston and impa
tient customers who have been
screaming can get some service
again.
Sloughed Sailor Need
Have No Regrets
While explaining how tie held the
Brown Bomber to a mere count of
ten kayo three years after the stal
wart Camera won the champion
ship from him by means of a slash
ing, lone uppercut, the sloughed
sailor need have no regrets, though.
He got a very handsome $30,928
for his scant moments of light ex
ercise. So he departs with the pleas
ant feeling that in a town where
6,000*000 people take daily chances
of being bowled over by autos,
merely because they cannot afford
carfare; at least 6,000,000 people
are envying his pretty opportunity
and his bright reward.

Not in the Box Score:
Dartmouth football fans are wor
ried about Mutt Ray, who recently
underwent a back operation. The
crack center is far from right and
chances are he will see little action
this fall. The two star guards, Lat
ta McCray, severely injured in a
skiing accident, and Joe Hanrahan,
who was stopped by the June ex
ams, also may be unavailable.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1936
NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:
BITSY GRANT’S European tennis
tour cost him $250, exclusive of
incidental expenses. His partner in
the insurance business, who was
supposed to take care of his renew
als, fell ill while Bitsy was away
and let a number of policies lapse
. . . Bobby Riggs and Wayne Sabin,
the young California doubles combi
nation being touted for next year’s
Davis cup competition, have been
parted by Jack del Valle, their “an
gel.” The break came during the
Rye matches and Del Valle ex
plained it by saying he believed
Sabin’s influence on Riggs was not
beneficial. It probably will be
patched up before the national
championships.
Although the Giants are in the
midst of one of the most magnifi
cent pennant drives of recent years
gossipers still operate on them. The
latest lowdown is that Hank Leiber
and Harry Gumbert will be traded
to the Cards for Jim Collins next
winter. The whispered reason for
this is that Terry and Leiber do
not “get along.”. Another keyhole
item is that several Giants’ offi
cials consider Mel Ott to be “an
overrated player” and will peddle
him to another club in 1937 if Terry
agrees.
Pop Warner and Gil Dobie will
be personally matching their foot-
ball coaching wits
for the first time
when Boston college
meets Temple in
October. This is
Warner’s forty-sec
ond year as a coach
while Dobie has
been on duty for a
mere 35 seasons . . .
Eddie Borden, the
sports writer and
fight manager, will
shortly publish a
new boxing maga-
zine tagged Bang . , . Princeton
insiders are breaking down and ad
mitting that the Frosh football sup
ply is the best since the class of
’36. They add that this manna will
be very much welcomed by Coach
Fritz Crisler since practically all of
the present regulars will be blotted
out by graduations next June.
Ohio State Fears Grid
Date With New York U
Strange as it may seem Ohio
State fears that early football date
with N. Y. U. this fall. Buckeye
track athletes, here for the World
Labor meet, reported that folks
around Columbus feel the Violets
are going to be so tough that there
is practically no betting money in
sight . . . Yale men refuse to
talk about gridiron prospects but
there is a persistent rumor that
Ducky Pond will surprise the na
tion. with a powerful team this fall.
Especially if some of the scho
lastically doubtful scphs regain
good standing . . . Don’t expect
Lou Little to be overactive at Co
lumbia this fall. Reports from his
Leominster, Mass., home town are
that his injured hip still pains him
mightily.
George Varoff, the high-soaring
pole vaulter, will stay away from
sports until after Christmas. He
feels that he has been spending too
much time on such play and is
anxious to catch up in his studies
at Oregon, where he is a sopho
more this fall . . . Sign of autumn
. . . Six Youngsters tossing the
Manhattan sidewalk season’s first
football on East Eighty - fourth
street.
Although Jess Sweetser, president
of the Metropolitan Golf associa
tion, is playing as good golf as any
New York amateur this summer,
his temperament still gets in his
way during tournament competition.
In spite of his many years of cam
paigning he still enlists in the club
throwing ranks when the breaks go
sour . . . For a lad who’s had a
taste of Hollywood, Buell Patrick
Abbott, the Californian who recent
ly won the national public links ti
tle, has mild aspirations for a movie
career. “All I want,” he says,
speaking of that fabled city where
salaries always are quoted in the
higher G’s, “is a contract for $350
or S4OO a week for four or five
years. Then I’ll quit.”
This has been a singularly unfor
tunate summer for Bill Cook, cap
tain and future coach of the Rang
ers. His mother died two months
ago, just after the popular hockey
veteran had moved his family east
to the new house he bought near
Hamilton, Ont. His two children
had to have their tonsils out and,
although that’s ordinarily a simple
operation these days, his younger
daughter had a relapse and had to
return to the hospital. Then Mrs.
Cook became ill and had to under
go an operation. . . . Jughandle
Johnny Morrison, former Dodger
and Pirate, is now pitching for not
too good semi-pro teams in Brook
lyn and getting $3.50 per game.
Although he appears to be a quiet,
well-mannered fellow, Wally Berger
of the Bees likes practical jokes ev
en better than base hits. His pet
prank is to put eels in the pullman
berths of his teammates . . . Hand
books take five-cent bets In Mon
treal . . . Watch North Carolina
State’s football team this fall. Hunk
Anderson, the old Notre Dame, will
be working with 26 letter men, most
of them juniors.
Experts whisper that the best
buys on the Philly mil-winter bar
gain counter will be Pitcher Claude
Passeaf and Catcher Bill Atwood.
The Cubs and Giants already have

It will be quite soft for next day.
