Real Good Fight
By Gayle Talbot
New York. June 31 m Tony Oal-
ento, the fat challenger, either is
honestly confident of beating Joe
Louis a week from tonight, or he will
go into the ring behind aa amazing
a "front" as any condemned man
ever summoned.
Completely surrounded by pre
diction that Louis will half-kill him
inside two rounds, Tony enters his
final bit of training still roaring
drunk on self-esteem and mouthing
his disdain of the champion. Some
think it's pose, but I believe the
guy's on the level.
Three hours at Madam Bey's
justly-famous training camp yes
terday offered ample opportunity to
study oalen to at close range. He
shows no sign of "nerves." Ee's

Cowhands Reclaim
Prescott Rodeo
Prescott. Ariz, June 31 VP) The
52nd annual rodeo at Prescott,
where America's first public exhibi
tion of cowboy sport was staged,
Is being turned back to the real
cowhands this year.
For the first time In many years
no professional rodeo performers
will be permitted to enter.
The contestants will be the range
riders who make their living wrangl
ing cows In the southwestern cattle
country.
Whether he is a contender for
serious consideration as a coming
lightweight boxer, destined to make
his mark in fistic circles, or whe
ther he Is just another good boy.
may be determined to some extent
tonight when Curley Hopper, Okla
noma Indian youth, pulls on the
gloves against Louie Nelson at the
armory. Hopper Is making his debut
as a main eventer. In his previous
appearances In the local ring. Hop
per has shown a world of aggres
siveness and stamina. Against
Johnny Woods he appeared to have
everything except a knockout wal
lop.
The six-round seml-windup fea
turlng Powder Proctor and Frankie
Bums, the latter from Salt Lake
City, is attracting practically
much attention as the main event.
Proctor, undefeated In several ap
pearances here, weathered a vigor
ous assault at the hands of Kid
Thornley. He gained a lot of valu
able experience from that attack
which should stand him In good
stead tonight.
Les Carter, who has appeared on
recent armory shows out of condi
tion, will try It again tonight, with
Tommy Orrln as his opponent. They
will travel over the four-round route.
The first preliminary is scheduled
to go on at 8:30.

change on Thursday and by Friday
morning a fall of seven Inches of
snow which laid on the ground for
several hours
Davis and Davenport took their
own boat along with them.
During the good weather more

Dean Accuses
Mates' Failure
To Push Hard
By Earl Hlliigaa
Chicago, June 21 OP) The 1831
tallspln of the Chicago Cubs, now
battling to stick In the first divi
sion, la kicking up almost as much
general excitement In their home
bailiwick as did their stirring charge
to the National league pennant last
September.
Ever since the Cubs started a
skid which sent them into fifth
place, a wsve ot "what's wrong with
the team" comment ha swept the
town. Then yesterday, Just after
a published "open letter" by Own
er Phil Wrlgley, anent his club's
showing, loquacious Dizzy Dean came
up with one of his well-known pop
offs as bis contribution to the furore.
Dlz, speaking before the Chicago
Association of Commerce, accused
his mates of "not trying hard
enough." Winner of three games
and loser of none this season, the
1189,000 pitcher said "the reason
we're down where we are today la
because the players a rent pushln'
hard enough. Only two-thirds of us
are doing our best. The rest of us
ain't. Just let me pitch more often
and everything will be okay. I'm
getting tired of pitching only on
Sundays."
"Oh, what the hell," snapped
Manager Oabby Hartnes when he
learned of Dean's diagnosis and
remedy for the case. "Let him talk.
I'm not going to comment. It's none
of my business what hs says. It's
his story, not mine.
In his "open letter" to a Chicago
sports editor, Wrlgley said "It is al
ways a tittle disconcerting to me to
have it so forcibly brought home
from time to time that the winning
team, which belongs to everyone.
Is so exclusively mine when it is
losing."
