FOftTER (Executive Secretary, National Boxinj Association) (Written for the Associated Press) nonuinvvnt 17 T Jan. 1ft 1 AP ) Two men, Jsmes J. Braddoclr. and Jen Loula. nave caused tremen- tnnBitf fnrftnjud Interest In profea alonal boxing and led thouaanda ol men and women all over tne umtea Btatea to talk about the game though perhapa they've never even aeen boxing glove. Although Louie' nmsatlonal ex Minit. rfiirinir 103ft must be reck oned the outatandlng development of tne ye'-r. eraauue s i,ui"m defeat of Max Baer for the heavy weight ii.amplonshlp can be ranked a cloee aecond among the cauaea for boxlng'a revival. Thli entirely un MTMt i i . ni nf tremendous value to the game, for It ihowed at once that a man wnn a i - , nfU hurl, - well pujoiHue bum b " grounded In the fundamental ot boxing, always naa a cnanc. Million Gate Looms. If, aa aeems likely now. Louis and Braddock are matched for the title thla year, the "gate" ahould run well over $1,000,000 and bring auch a rush of customers aa no stadium In the country could accommodate. Practically every division produced new champions during the past year and It seems as though the turn over will continue without Inter ruption during 1930. John Henry Lewis, negro from the lar west, decisively defeated Bob Olln for the light heavyweight championship, but how long he can hold It In the face of auch chal lengers aa Jack McAvoy, Al McCoy and Tony Bhucco Is doubtful. The preaent middleweight champion. Babe Rlsko, Is being pushed very hard by Freddie Steele and Lou Broulllard, a former title-holder, and Tony Canaonerl may be hard pressed to hold the lightweight crown against Lou Ambers or Wesley Ramey. Bar ney Rosa, however, aeems to stand alone among tne weiierwoigni.. Lauds Freddy Miller. Praise should be given to Freddy Miller, featherweight champion, who defended hla title not only In Eu rope, but In this country, against all comers. Why a few mlagulded commissions should take It upon themselves to endeavor to relieve Miller of the title he won so Justly and fairly la beyond conception. During 1034 we had, of course, a few lamentable flsacoa In boxing, caused primarily by poor match makers and aided and abetted by the boxing commlaslona who allow auch matchea to be put on. The time la ripe now for ap pointment of a "ciar" of boxing, similar to the positions of Judge Landla In baseball and Will Hays In the moving picture Industry. Buch a step la urgently needed for the protection of boxing fans aa well aa of promoters and boxera. On the whole I firmly believe that boxing can very well be proud of Its record for 1036 and I feel It will Increase Its positions tremen dously during 1038.

The skier also has hla momenta of virility, when ha starts out through the rain to go to the higher levels, but he generally starts with the understand ing that the rain wljl soon change to snow and probably atop altogether once he gets high enough. But the golfer will set out through the drlZ' k1c knowing darn well that the drlz- sle Is going to keep right on drizzling. We bumped into a pair of them out on the Rogue Valley course the other day. They were beating up the course against a fine breeze and spanking monsoon, but seemed en tirely unconscious of the weather aa they concentrated on thelr maahle shots, although they did leap back each time to avoid the splash. It didn't look as though It wero an awful lot of fun, but they seemed to enjoy it. Perhftps the reason we think tt wasn't fun, la because we don't play golf any more. Before we gave up the game, however, we held the valley championship for losing golf balls. Seven In one afternoon was excep tional even for us, but four was about average. We used to spend an hour before each game hunting thru the irrigation ditch before we had enough pills to manage the first round. We remember one tune hatching a fine plan to get a lot of golf balls for nothing. The Municipal golf course offering two dozen bulla to any one making a hole In one, and we de cided to try for this .handsome trophy. We believe there waa also a case of beer In- ' " volved. Four of us were to play around together, and one of the quartette waa to make a hole In one, with the other three aa witnesses. We flipped a coin to see who'd be the hero, and one of the others won. Taking a terrific cut at the apple on the short No. 3 hole, his ball soared off at an angle and disappeared. It's still gone, aa far aa that got. We searched tho underbrush Uke bird dogs for moat of the afternoon, and never found that ball. It might have been In the cup, at that. We didn't look there.

They nnHormly main tain that skiing Is as harmles as sleeping If done correctly. Which more more or less our own Im pression, although wa haven't the faintest Idea of how to go about skiing correctly. With ao many people enthusiastic about tha sport, and with the park open all year thla year, we're going to give It a fling anyway, at our own expense.
