It used to be a favorite wise crack that "The hardest thing about fighting is to pick up your teeth with your boxing gloves." Art Akers must hare found that out he didn't once stoop down to pick em up. He kept Tom Loutltt busy doing that, but af- ter a while Tom got tired of the Job and let 'em lie there. Eddie Graham stepped on 'em once- dirty triek. m Nobody1 can call Art any thing bat game. He took tre mendous puntehnaeot and kept fight o fighting he was out pointed and nearly knocked out, bat he was never whipped. Some of the fans booed him they most hare been Indepen - deuce fans who remembered that Art won from Teddy Fox on a tool. Why blame Art for Unit? o "Home town boy makes good at home." That's Eddie Gra ham, ores whom the wise ones ..WA.Vl. Jheir. Mm. nd. -say iie'd -never be a fighter. - ? v" rr;'! We heard a man who ought to know about such things, predict that Akers would knock Graham out in the first round. , How did we happen to guest) the Klleen-Woods bout right? Psychology, folk, psychology. Woods to a game kid, too. Most of the fans thought the timekeeper looked at his watch crosseye when he tapped the bell to end the first bout; but "Rusty" stuck to his guns; he said he had both minutes marked down. Henry Jones was oyer to see the fight and talk championship bout with the commission some more. He says Wildcat Pete is holding out for an unreasonable guarantee, but he'll meet Pete anywhere now in hopes of getting, his bands on that middleweight t belt; and If he beats Pete, he , promises to come here and wres tle the winner of the Sampson Barrackman match. Over In China they fine a po liceman the first time he fails to bring in the criminal they send him after; and the second time rthey fire him.

MEET EB IAD WINS NOD Two Scrappers Put on Most Vicious Fight Seen in Years Here Eddie Graham, who used to fight prelims and semi-finals in Salem and to tell the truth, didn't set the world on fire, came back Wednesday night to prove that he has "arrived." gratified his ambition to engage in a main event here, and won a clean cut decision over Art Akers In the bloodiest, most vicious battle that has been seen at the armory here !n many years. A seemingly endless repertoire of strategic tricks was trotted out by the bouncing ex-Salem boy each one pulled with lightning suddenness out of a clear sky. He had Akers on the verge of a knockout at least twice; in the sixth when his right swing c r u s h e d the southpaw out through the ropes and into the lap of a newspaperman, and In the ninth when a terrific right on the point of the chin wilted Ak ers to the canvas. At first he ap peared to be completely out. but he got up at the count of nine and was saved by- the bell from an other vicious attack. Both Men Show Fondness for Infighting Akers proved, as in his former fights here, a hard man to com bat because of his unique style. For several rounds Graham did not dare swing with his right because it would have left a fatal opening. Both of them showed a partiality for Infighting, Graham having a distinct advantage in this department of the game. Both fighters were bathed In blood and so was Referee Tom Loutitt, almost from the first round. Akers lost his rubber teeth on the floor at least five times, and Graham lost his once. Jackie Kileen turned the ta bles on Jackie Woods with a ven geance, getting the advantage in the third round and pressing it until in the fifth Woods' seconds threw in a towel. Woods was knocked down for counts of var ious duration five times. Pat Haley won decisively from Jack Toung. Siletx Indian, knock- I SALEM Mighty Man of .

(AP) With the ballyhoo going full blast, efforts that appeared little short of desperate were put forth today to turn what has looked like a certain financial flop into a profitable success before Jack Sharkey and Phil Scott step Into the ring for their lS-round hea vyweight elimination match to morrow night. The climax in the belated "build-up" was reached by Issu ance of a somewhat sensational yarn that Max Schmeling, the German clouter, had injured his thumb or his ankle, thereby Jeo wardizing his ring future, also the contemplated championship "final" this June at New York and Increasing the "significance" of the Sharkey-Scott outcome to a point where the winner might claim the world's title. Word From Germany Spoils Fine Yarm ... This elaborate reasoning! sounded all very well until an! Associated Press dispatch from Berlin disclosed that Schmeling was in -perfect health, good fight ing condition and enjoying him self at the winter sports. This news reached the center of fight preparations with a dull, rever berating thud, just as the re spective managers of Scott and Sharkey were preparing elaborate statements to claim the cham pionship tor tomorrow's winner. The handling of the spurious bad news about Der Maxie was marked by mystery and some bungling, saying Schmeling had broken his thumb three weeks ago, was issued on the authority of Frank J. Bruen, general man ager of Madison Square Garden, but later in the day he denied knowledge of the reputed cable gram from Germany. At about the same time, however, the Mi ami Daily News from a "trust worthy source," reported It had been d vised Schmeling had suf- Moods , 1m. tarst.yterxifying; attack than Moloney or iionghran aid, taen nouuxtg erer wHL Tme.

The fichmellne- atorv. therefore. shared the same explosive fate as the bubble of Jimmy John ston's row with Referee Lou Marnolia and the Miami boxing commission over ring regula tions, a controversy marked by Johnston's empty threat to with draw Scott from the match. It atrlnoed the second battle of the palms of the last vestiges of the glamour which marked tne fiatie festival laat winter and put the show purely on a commercial basis, assuming the proportions of a "racket" in the character of subterfuges used to help put it over. Miami was crowded with visit ors today, for the season here is at its height, bnt there was still no definite answer as to whether they would flock out to the arena tomorrow night for the interna tional heavyweight carnival in sufficient numbers to make the venture pay. General Manager Bruen repeated his prediction that the "gate" would exceed $300,000. thereby representing a profit of $75,000 to S100.000. Promoters May Get Even Break, Word The best available Information, based on knowledge of advance sales up to today, was that not many more than 25,000 fans would contribute a "gate" of araqnd ;l3.e.0p0 j i This t ,wpuld mean a chance. for-, the New York- promoters' to' break even. Notable array of talent and fame, wealth and fashion, will fill the choice ringside seats, no matter how much vacant space there is otherwise in the arena, which was built to accommodate 52,000 customers. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Tunney and Mr. and Mrs. Babe Ruth will be among the many conspicuous figures of sport, along with Harry Payne Whitney, Caleb Bragg, Carl Fish er and Larry Waterbury. Walter Camp and his wife, the former Ruth Elder; William K. Vander- bilt,- Joseph E. Widener, Mrs. Irene Castle McLaughlin, John Golden, George F. Gets, Mrs. Tex Richard, John Ringling, Govern or Emmerson of Illinois, and George Ade also are among the ticket holders. Sharkey Favored To Win Easily There were no developments today calculated to change the prospect of a decisive victory for Sharkey. The American re mained a five to one favorite, with little or no wagering report ed at this prohibitive figure. Most of the experts predicted a knock out inside of four rounds. Lively speculation continued over the ten-round semi-final between Vic torio Campolo and Johnny Risko, with the Argentine rated a favor ite at 2 to 1, bnt many supporting the Clevelander. The American entries were popular choices In the two other ten rounders, sending Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia against Pierre Charles of Belgium, and Jimmy Maloney of Boston. against Moise Bouquillon of France. The Loughran-Charles bout is scheduled after the main event, which is expected to begin at about 10 p. m.

A T SESSION S IP NI SEEK! BELT Welterweight Grappler Says He'd Like New Chance At Anderson Bobby Sampson, welterweight wrestler who lost the Pacific coast championship belt to Des Anderson at Albany recently, is in town looking for a chance to win it back. He argues that inas much as he lost it on a foul, he Is entitled to an opportunity to prove he is a better man than An derson.
