Middleweight King Looks
For Shot at Heavy Titlist
By OSCAR FRAI.EY
tUDUe4 Prtu Sporu Wrtttr)
New York. Sept. ZS (UN-
Weight difficulties which have
plagued him throughout hii box
ing career had Middleweight
Champion Jake Lamotta cast
ing covetous glances today at
the light heavyweight title
and a possible future heavy
weight championship fight with
Ezzard Charles.
Preparing for his crown de
fense against Frenchman Marcel
Cerdan at the Polo Grounds next
Wednesday night, Lamotta again
was having difficulty making
the 160-pound limit. He refus
ed to disclose his avoirdupois but
reportedly still had five pounds
to shave off.
At 28, the squat, flat-nosed
Bronx bull is finding it In
, creasingly difficult to pare
down. He could go inside the
ropes at a fit 170. So it is
that Lamotta, a throwback to
such old-timers at Kid McCoy,
Jack O'Brien and Sam Lang
ford who never quibbled
about spotting weight to a
rival, is looking toward a fu
ture in the heavier divisions.
"I'd like a crack at Freddie
Mills for the light heavyweight
title," he said as he finished his
' 66th round of boxing in prepara
tion for Cerdan and still was
five or six pounds over the
limit.
. "Then, maybe, there'd be a
chance for a shot at Charles."
An iron man of the ring, the
bull has been working furious
ly to take off poundage. And
he has vented much of his spleen
on his sparmates. Buddy Moore,
a 215-pound heavyweight, went
one round against Jake in the
training gym and had enough.
Jimmy Taylor, another target,
was sent crashing through the
ropes.
Jarring Jake hammered
out a minor fortune with his
fists but never could get a
crack at the middleweight
crown. Most of the men in
his division feared the husky
Italian and Jake was forced
to fight welters or light
heavies. It was a condition
which caused him to be known
as "the best middleweight
In the welterweight division."
Then, suddenly, he was the
lone American hope against
Cerdan. Rocky Graziano was in
exile for failure to report a
bribery attempt. Tony Zale had
hung them up. So Jake finally
got his shot and won the title
in June with a technical knock
out in the 10th round.
It almost came too late, that
change. For Jake had quite a
struggle making the weight even
then. Now it is just that much
tougher. Therefore he is peer
ing toward the heavier divi
sions. Jake has tangled with light

Poor Judgment Charged
For Using Rookie Umpire
St. Louis, Sept. 23 (U.R) St
Louis Cardinal Manager Eddie
Dyer today charged that Nation
al league President Ford Frick
used "very poor judgment" in
assigning a rookie umpire to the
vital Card-Brooklyn Dodger series.
But. Dyer, added vehemently,
not that nor the 19 to 6 licking
suffered by St. Louis last night
will prevent his team from win
ning the National league pennant.
"I want to say this and you
can quote me," Dyer said. "I
think Frick used very poor
judgment in using Lon War
neke in this important series.
I'm not alibi-ing since we got
the hell beat out of us. But
Warneke is just up and simp
ly doesn't qualify for a big
job like this one."
Warneke, a former star .pitch
er for the Cardinals and the Chi
cago Cubs, was plate umpire in
the game last night. He charged
12 walks to the six Card pitch
ers. Catcher Del Rice protested
the fourth balls vehemently and
eventually was tossed out of the
game by Warneke.
The smashing defeat by the
Dodgers seemed to make the
Cards more mad than afraid
in these final days of the bit
ter National league race. They
still led by half a game in the
standings, with seven games
yet to play against Brooklyn's
six.

Carmel Brush Fire
Levels Large Area
Carmel, Calif., Sept. 23 VP)
A brush fire was burning out on
the ridges above Carmel vallev
today after menacing the homes
of 3,900 persons and levelling
outbuildings and water towers.
The main Carmel valley high
way along the coast of central
California was a refuse pile of
charred fence posts and toppled
telephone poles. The telephone
company saved its new $130,000
dial exchange, however.
Scores of residents saved their
homes by spraying them with
garden hoses.
Fifty acres were to have been
burned over purposely in a
range improvement project. But
the flames got away from the
uremen and started sweeping
up the whole valley, 12 miles
from this artist colony.

Cagle are former Mississippi
State head coaches of football.

The aroma of cherry, plum

Stayton B Team
Scores 12-6 Win
Over Silverton
Stayton The Stayton high
school "B" string, comprising
freshmen and sophomores, de
feated a similar squad at Silver
ton Thursday afternoon 12 to 6.
It was Stayton's first full length
contest and Coach Herb Booth
was well pleased with the result.
Silverton and Stayton each
scored a touchdown in the sec
ond period. A run of approxi
mately 40 yards down the mid
dle gave Silverton its six points.
A pass of approximately 20
yards from LeRoy Showers, a
halfback to Dick Cox, an end,
was responsible for one Stayton
touchdown. Another aerial, this
time John Mack, fullback, to
Cox, in the third period, gave
the winners their second. All
conversion attempts failed.
At the end of the game Stay
ton was on the Silverton 10 yard
line as a result of a run by
Dwight Shelton.
A twisted knee forced Carl
Hamilton, r e g u la r Stayton
quarterback, from the game
early in the first period.
The only losing football season
Notre Dame has had since 1888
was 1933, when the Irish won
three lost five and tied one.
Hollywood's Gone Crazy
Oyer Square Dancing
Hollywood, Sept. 22 U.R) The whole town's gone crazy over
square dancing. And the man who started it all said today every
body's healthier and happier except the bartenders.
"Square dancin' and boozin' just don't mix," said Sherman
Sanders, Hollywood's No. 1 caller. "And the boys in the saloons
tell me business has dropped
off 20 to 40 per cent since ev
erybody started swingin' their
partners."
Not since some one invented
gin rummy has anything caught
on so fast in Hollywood.
Movie stars and millionaires,
professors and pupils even a
few newspapermen are kick
ing up their heels the way gran
ny used to do.
But they do it in roomy gym
nasiums and private game
rooms and dance halls. There's
no spare space in Ciro's for a
fast grand-right-and-left or a
swirling do-so-do.
"You can't cool off between
rounds with a scotch and soda,
either," Sanders said. "Cuts
your wind. And believe me, sis
ter, you need all you got and
more besides to keep up with
me."
He allowed that he knew
more than 300 different calls
and some of 'em were regu
lar rip-snorters.
"First time these movie stars !
and high-horse society folks
come in they wilt to a frazzle in
a half hour," Anders said. "Next
time they're good for two or
three hours.
And by the time they've been
comin' regular for a couple
months, they get mad if I call
the dance off before midnight.
"You should see some of those
old-timers! Why, I've got grand
mas and grandpas over 70 who
can dance the legs off these
young jitterbugs."
...
Sanders said his real profes
sion is show business, but he's
been collecting square dance
lore since he was three.
I ve seen square dances in
every state in the union, plus
Mexico and Canada," he said.. "I
must know 'em all by now."
He picks up extra change in
