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.

of tne ye'-r. eraauue s i,ui"m
defeat of Max Baer for the heavy

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.

Tour golfer la probably th moat

when ha starts out through the rain

generally starts with the understand

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.

anyone else If Charley Retalnff should

but auch an eventuality would not
find him unprepared.

basis. . Jacobs, matchmaker for the
Twentieth Century Sporting club of 1
New York, who has a hsnd In the :

hla first look at Louis In training tor
the bout.
While both boxers hammered spar
ring partners about, the management
disclosed that the advance sale of

We have been Invited to prove
to ourself, at our own expense,

With ao many people enthusiastic
about tha sport, and with the park

A. W. Tllllnghast, golf course
architect, Is out to make the old
Scottish game easier for the duffer,
The designer of more than 300
courses said today he believed links
planners have made the profes
sionals' game easier while adding
more woes for the ordinary player.
"Look at the scores those pros
are shooting and you'll see I'm
right," said the white haired archi
tect. "It Is getting so a professional
has a bsd dsy If he gets only his
conventional 72. On the other hand,
look at the poor duffer with his
pesky slice. He can't stay out of
our traps, as If his slice weren't
enough trouble, already.
"We've been putting In fancy haz
ards, water holes and dog-legs where
the money players Just don't play.
But when the duffer starts detouring
he stumbles from one mean pitfall
to another and we pat ourselves on
the back with satisfaction."
