Fights Last Night NEW YORK. iP) The two light heavyweights who will fight for the championship July IS at the Yan kee stadium have retired to their training camps and are sending forth only rumbles of the contest. Tommy Lough ran will enter the ring with the clamor of a cham pion bruiting about his ears and James J. Itraddoek must rely on those of the faithful whose sym pathies lie with a challenger. Lough ran is a eagy boxer nnd Brnddock 1r a slugger. Loughran is a sturdy veteran nnd liraddock is an up and coming lad with wide shoulders and a way of slinging punches from his shoelaces. The sentiment of the learned Is divided with a shade of the majority leaning toward the gentleman who shares initials if nothing else with the distinguished James Jo.ieph shoulders after a shellacking ad ministered the burly Jimmy Slat tery in January. Slattery was an obstacle of no small size, for the National J losing association con sidered him their champion after Jack Delaney had resigned in 1927 hits, anil won his own game, 5 to 0 by smacking out a home run with one on in the fourth.

Voting Mr: Jlraddock gnlned his fame by short circuiting Tuffy Griffith, a pugilist of some repute.

The victory of the Athletics was notable for the failure of llob Grove to win his game for the first time in several starts. Kd Wells was as wild as usual in De troit, giving eight passes and com milting one wild pitch, hut Babe Ruth's twenty-first homer and fif teen other hits made up for this.
