r. DEER DOPE
According to the best of In
formation an unsigned pub
licity sheet we found on our
desk the Rocky Mountain mule
deer, native of northeastern Cali
fornia and southern Oregon, be
longs to the species of largest
deer In the United States.
And, Judging from weights re
corded during the late season,
bucks of the Modoc national for
est are representative of the
race. Recording was done fol
lowing the U. S. Forest service
practice started some years ago.
, The facts:
'About 20 per cent of the bucks
weighed scaled 200 pounds or
more. The largest deer came
from Smith flat in the Big Val
ley district. It had five points
on each antler and tipped the
forest beam at 255 pounds hog
dressed. Estimated on-the-hoof
weight was 300 pounds.
Two animals tied for second
place at 240 pounds.
At Happy camp, the biggest
buck was 175 pounds.
The smallest deer recorded
was a wee 110 pounds. Unusual,
for th buck bore four points
and was in good condition.

Merge Tonight
NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (iP)
Two world lightweight cham
pionships will be merged into
one at Madison Square garden
tonight as a result of the current
collaboration between Abe
Greene, the National Boxing as
sociation president, and the New
York athletic commission with
Promoter Mike Jacobs acting as
intermediary.
Sammy Angott of Washington,
Pa., the NBA champion, and
Lew ' Jenkins of Sweetwater,
Tex., recognized ;
ruier in rvew
York, will
tie it out over
the 15-round
route in the

this year Gus
Lesnevich took over the unani
mous light-heavyweigbt title and
Tony Zale gained the nuaoie
weight crown.
The whole situation has been
peculiar since the 135-pound ti
tle was split up a year and a half
ago. The NBA withdrew its rec
ognition from Lou Ambers when
he took on Jenkins, who wasn't
even considered an important
challenser. instead of Angott or
Davey Day.- Those two fought it
out for the NBA crown, then a
few days later the lean, hungry
Texan complicated the situation
by stiffening Ambers in three
rounds.
Since then Jenkins has done
his best to justify the nickname
of "Looney Lew" which the
sportswriters hung on him. He'd
refuse to train except in night
clubs; he tangled with speeding
cars and motorcycles, and put
up some sour fights in over
weight affairs. His recent bout
with Welterweight Champion
Eed Cochrane was about as poor
an exhibition as any on record.

their pre-season tiffs, will go

Clashes With
Fred Cochrane
MIAMI, Fla.,' Dec. 19 (if)
Fast-hitting Bobby Britton, the
fighting son of a one-time world
champion, will get the big
chance of his ring career; tonight
in a non-title fight with Welter
weight King Freddie Cochrane.
An upset triumph over Coch
rane in the main event of the Mi
ami Herald's Empty Stocking
fund show would carry the 23
year-old Britton closer to the top
than he has managed to climb in
eight years of boxing.
His trainer and chief handler
is Jack Britton, an ln-and-outer
for years before he suddenly de
veloped into a great fighter and
won the welter crown in IV in at
the age of 34. 1 -"V"
Ever since Bobby made his de
but as a fancy-boxing, light
punching 15-year-old, his father
has been grooming him lor a
shot at the championship he him
self lost to Mickey Walker in
1922.
Artistic performers come
dime a dozen in the lighter
classes, so in the intervening
years Bobby has been converted
into a hitter at the cost of oc
casional lessons from kinds who
never could have touched him
had he stuck to defensive sparring.
