CITY GLOVE TOURNEY ENTER
FINALS TONIGHT AS SEEDED
BATTLERS HOLD THEIR OWN
Spurred on by a little excitement
■which waa not on the card, the
City Boxing Championships spon
sored by the Men’s Club of the
Jewish Educational Alliance, got
off to a flying start last night with
praotioally of the seeded fight
ers oomlng out on top for tonight's
finals which start at 8:30.
The Dlnnerman-McKenna battle
which turned out to be a rout for
the Jewish boy was also host to an
Impromtu battle on the part of an
excited McKenna rooter and the
second of Dinnerman. The facts are
thus: McKenna, no match for the
crafty Dinnerman, shot his bolt in
about one minute of the first round,
and being easy prey to the south
paw jolts of the Jewish battler,
was soon in a helpless position,
but tn a fighting position facing
Dlnnerman. Sinking a left Into Me-
Kenna s stomach. Dinnerman drop
ped the Old Fort I'ttler. The fans,
thinking that Joe had violated
some cardinal principal of the ring
jumped in the squared circle pre
sumably with the intent of doing
battle with the Jewish southpaw,
but was met with a straight right
from Joe's second. Everything was
soon cleared however, and the
events went on as usual.
The first fight on the program
brought together Shoob, the Savan
nah High battler and Graham,
Shoob taking the decision, true to
the dopester’s form sheet.

PARRIS ISLAND TO
SEND CRACK SQUAD
OF BATTLERS HERE
Climaxing a season of brilliant
amateur boxing which has seen a
host of new faces within the squar
ed circle in competition, Savannah
will play host to the crack United
States Marine Squad from Parris
Island who will fight a team of
amateurs representing this city, on
or about May 15, the exact date
not having been announced from
Parris Island.
Coached and trained by Lieut. E.
J. Donnelly, Jr., the team of Leath
ernecks will fight in this city for
the first time, since the inception
of their boxing program. Having
had marked success in the past
year within the national scope, this
fighting group will come to Savan
nah accompanied by a host of their
fellow Marines. It is expected that
General Berkeley and his staff of
officers will be in the official party
representing the Island, as Savan
nah will have its first big-time
intercity boxing matches in a score
of year:.
Little being k lown of the per
sonnel of the Marine fighters,
Lieut. Donnelly will release the
name of the men comprising his
team within the latter part of the
week. Just as much is known of
the Savannah team with the ex
ception of the lightweight sensa
tion from Fort Screven. Larry
Knecht, who last year won the
Southeastern AAU championships
at Fort Benning, Georgia. Knecht
was transferred to Fort Screven
from Benning and has taken part
on the AA Uteam which went into
Florida in March for competition.
Displaying some of the which
has so characterized his debut in
army boxing circles, he swept
through all competition.
Sanction of the matches to be
held under AAU rules has been
applied for from Samuel Rhode,
Jr., AAU Commissioner, which has
been granted and this final ob
stacle has been removed.

Among the horses at Louisville ready for
the derby, May 2, is a well-named dark-bay colt,
The Fighter, owned by Mrs. Ethel V. Mars of
Chicago.
The Fighter comes to the Downs fresh from
a victory in the Texas Derby, a $25,000 event
for three-year-olds. How fresh he is remains to
be seen, for the horse had a busy winter, start
ing his campaign in February on the Pacific

The Fighter, son of the foreign stallion,
Bull Dog, which makes him a half-brother of
the favored Coldstream, won more than half of
his races as a two-year-old. scoring in six out of

ALEX MORRISON says:
Frank Crowninshield of Vanity
Fair, besides being an internation
ally famous editor and an excep
tionally good bridge player, has
been a pretty good golfer for a
number of years.
He came into my studio the
other day to practice before a
match to be played with Clarence
Budington Kelland, the author;
Grantland Rice and Hal Sims, the
bridge expert. Mr. Crowninshield’s
last minute attempt to cure habits
of long standing brings to mind
a story I was tojd recently.
A golf instructor asked two
prospective feminine pupils if
they wanted to learn the game.
One of the young ladies replied,
“Just my friend wants lessons—
I learned yesterday.”
Even if you don’t think this
story funny, the point I want to
bring out is clear enough—you
can’t bring about any real im
provement in your game without
considerable practice of the right
sort.

11 starts and placing once. He won four in a
row during last July and August and has shown
an ability to carry respectable weight. His
most important juvenile victories were in the
Grand Union Hotel Stakes and Remsen Handi
cap. Early this year at Santa Anita he won a
six-furlong dash in 1:11, which is a second
slower than the track record.
The fact that The Fighter probably will
have Jockey A. Robertson in the saddle will
add to his chances. Probably he will be coupled
in the betting with the good sprinter Sangreal,
a Sir Gallahad 111 colt also entered by Mrs.
Mars. The Fighter's workouts at the Downs
indicate the horse has speed.
Kentucky’s smiling, red-haired gov
ernor, Albeit Chandler, is everywhere.
It was at a derby celebration several
years ago, that Governor Chandler
“out-crooned” Rudy Vallee.
The climax of the festivities comes
Friday night on the eve of the race.
From that time on, every fan will be
trying to pick a favorite to come un
der the wire at Churchill Downs
Saturday afternoon.

PEACHES SEND INDIANS INTO
CELLAR WITH 9 TO 6 BEATING
The Savannah Indians took one
on the chin yesterday and in do
ing so, slipped into the relative
obscurity of the league cellar when
they took a 9 to 6 defeat at the
hands of the Macon Peaches in the
second game of their three game
series in the inland Georgia city.
Bob Harris of the tribe gave up
13 hits for the Peaches to get go
ing for their quota of runs which
were scored in the first, second,
fourth and sixth innings. With El
liott, the Indian third sacker, play
ing the leading role in bobbing
chances on third base, three being
credited to his account, he came
through however with hits, getting
two out of five to redeem himself,
including a long triple in the ninth
when he scored McNeil who had
drawn a walk.
The Peaches took care to take
advantage of the miscues of the
Tribe, and pulling the double steal
ing act twice in one afternoon,
soon had a margin that could not
be denied, and in doing so landed
out of 'he League cellar relinquish
ing this unenviable post into the
laps of the Savannah club.
Led by the slugging Blaemire,
who collected a triple, double and
two singles in five trips to the bat
ter s mound, the Peaches were not
to be denied, and were never head
ed.
Opening in Savannah tomorrow (
afternoon, the Indians have taken
a new lease on baseball life with
the acquiring of Colburn to play
second. Coming from the Allen
town, Pa., club this infielder has
been playing heads-up ball, and is
properly designated as a class man. I
Together with Tuckey who will fill
the '.tching position for the Tribe I
the Indians hope to get going to
morrow when they open again at
home.
