BRADDOCK REMAINS HUMBLE DESPITE RISE TO FAME

Mitt Champ Going Back to Jersey Docks to Labor as Longshoreman Among Pals Heavy King Continues to Live Simple Life, Which Is Something of an Achievement for a Big-Time Fighter These Days, Williams Declares. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time, Sprrial Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 15,—Mr. James J. Braddock, back from a Florida vacation with a fashionable .sun tan, said he was going back to work as a longshoreman at the Weehawken (N. J.) docks. . . . “It’s the kind of work a fighter needs,” explained the heavyweight champion of the world,

“and besides I like it.” Mr. Braddock is the type of person who would be regarded as unAmerican in some circles for the simple reason he does not tremble and turn ashen at the mere mention of the word work. Jim was toiling on these same Weehawken docks when a matchmaking emergency gave him the chance that led to the champion-

ship last summer. He knocked out Corn Griffin in a preliminary and didn’t stop until he had overtaken Max Baer, who was known to the fistic nobility in those dayg as the Prince of the Pop Offs. So, Mr. Braddock was going back to the docks for a spell? ~ .

Williams

“Yeah, it, toughens you up, makes you hard atid, er—l guess what I’m trying to say is, it keeps you humble, you know, the association makes you realize how rocky the going is for the other fellow, and that keeps you from feeling too important.” This was a human thought, but the duties of a longshoreman were not exactly the kind that seemed best designed to keep a heavyweight champion in fighting shape. Juggling freight and such things wouldn’t sharpen a man’s speed or keep his muscles supple. And wasn’t there always the danger of a serious strain or wrench? Mr. Braddock didn’t think so. He spoke from a background of long, personal experience and there was a convincing note of authority in hi? voice. While he didn’t employ the exact words, Mr. Braddock suggested strongly that work on the docks constitutes a peculiar form of art. a calling which places a high premium on unique gifts. There's Trick to It “Some fellow's never would make good longshoremen,” said,Mr. Braddock. “Strength isn’t everything. You gotta know how to use it. There’s a certain knack in tossing those heavy crates around and balancing railroad ties on your shoulder, and not everybody has it.” Mr. Braddock’s implication was that those who haven’t got it simply don’t get anywhere in the business, whereas those who have got it reach the supreme heights. It should not be inferred Mr. Braddock is returning to the docks because his funds are running low. He really feels the manual labor will do him good. Besides which, he is getting lonesome for his pals in overalls. These are the men who thought he was an all right guy before he won the championship—and the champion still thinks they are all right. Just Old-Fashioned From time to time boxing critics Utter emotional yearnings for an old-fashioned prizefighter. Well, Mr. Braddock is as old fashioned as a mustache cup. He never posed as an authority on classical literature, he never went Hollyw’ood in any sense, and he never tried to set anew all-time high as a Broadway play boy. I agree, hastily, the absence of these leanings add little to him as an interesting character, but if there is any merit in being ones self and sticking to ones own racket, then Mr. Braddock is entitled to a polite round of applause. You’ll generally find nim working in a gym. If lip isn’t there he’ll be mingling with his pals—none of whom ever made Skull and Bones, the Racquet Club or a five-reel song and dance movie. Still, in this connection there was a strange report from Florida a few weeks ago. It had to do with the purchase of a yacht by Mr. Braddock. . . . “Haw! That's a laugh. Me owning a yacht? Say, I haven't even got used to riding the ferries regularly yet. You know how that report got started? I let a friend use my name and he got a big discount. I guess the company wanted some publicity.” Manager Cuts the Cake By now the inevitable subject of Joe Louis was reached and it was at. this point that Mr. Joe Gould rut himself a slice of cake. Mr. Gould Is the courageous manager of the champion. He has been through more than 50 brutal fights as Mr. Braddock’s handler and is utterly unmarked, a circumstance which bespeaks his scientific skill in no vague syllables. “I'm not paying too much attention to the stories Louis isn't going to fight for t.ie championship lor another year." said Mr. Gould, splitting the atmosphere with a cruel right uppercut. '‘lt’s good showmanship. you know, to focus public notice on one fight at a time, and Louis is scheduled to meet Max Schmeling in June. "By creating the impression Louis will fight only once the promoters probably figure they will stampede the customers for the June fight and thus insure its financial success. This is an old dodge and is considered good ousiness. and who am I to discourage prosperity in any form?” Mr. Gould feinted quickly with the left, drew an opening and crossed the right, casting impressive shadows on the wall. . . . "But just to be on the safe side I think I'll ask the commission to force Mike Jacobs to put up some sort of guarantee that thare will be no monkey business. I’m all for monkey business in its proper place, but I think the zoo is the proper place.” M'AVOY TO MEET NEGRO Times Bpeeinl NEW YORK.

Lieber Brewers Feature 3152 Series in Pin Session Outscore Local Rivals in Washington League Matches; Ray Roberson Tops Soloists With 676. BY BERNARD HARMON RAY ROBERSON mowed down 676 maples in last night’s session of the Fountain Square Recreation League to lead the parade of pin topplers in action on local alleys. Lieber Brewers hammered the Washington League rins for a 3152 total that gave them team honors of the

evening. Games of 215. 226 and 233 earned Roberson his brilliant series and proved a big help to his Falls City Hi-Brus, who gave Cook’s Gold-

blume a double beating. Aided by Joe Fulton’s 632 the Bras totaled 3016 from game' of 1027, 1003 and 986. Don Johnson was the only member of the losing aggregation to display any scoring ability. He closed with a 257 that netted him a 633. The Blu me s team

used a 1042 for its lone victory. With Paul Stemm at 643, Ed Stevenson at 619 and Harry Wheeler at 618, Marott Shoes tacked up the top team total of the loop, games of 939, 1077 and 1035 gaining them a 3045 and a shutout victory over Sterling Beer. Tom Quill's 606 was best for the losers. Despite a 632 from Fred Schleimer, Lieber Lagers dropped a two-to-one decision to Charles Denby Cigars, who failed to land a member in the honor class. The Bowes Seal Fast-Tcetylene Products match, won by the former through an odd-game decision failed to develop any 600 scores. tt St It WITH four members over the 600 mark and the fifth but two pins short, the Lieber Brewers turned in games of 1044, 1030 and 1079 for their top team total. Jim Hurt set the pace with a 668. that was good for citv-wide runnerup honors. Earl Goodhue had 642, Dad Hanna 628. Neil King 628 and John Blue 598. The big series gave the aggregation a triple victory over Grunows. The only other three-game winner of the session was Coca Oola, which had Schmitt Insurance as its victim. All other clashes were decided over the two-to-one route. Boh Haagsma starred in the Pennzoil’s victories over McCarthy Furniture with a 617; Board of Trade with Tom O’Connor at 61st defeated Capitol Ice, which had Gib Smith's 6ftl as its best; Bib Kelley's HyRed quintet lost a decision to Hoosier Opticals. despite his 610; Max Patton's Case had Falls City Lagers as its victim and Illinois Five gained the edge over J.

Frank lannuzzi, OliverWPA. clinched the light-heavy-weight toga with a wild-swinging attack that gave him two decisions. Norval Binninger. Oliver fighter, upset Shelbyville’s Marshall Allison, runner-up last year, for the lightweight title. Those eight glove tossers reaped the top honors on last night’s show, but most of the humor, pathos and unbridled action evolved from the melees in the Novice bracket. Gustafson "Takes It” Fans doffed their hats last night again to Jimmie Gustafson, a champion in every respect, who refused to be subdued. Gustafson, who stole the show last, week in a bloody uphill fight in which he won a toe-to-toe slugfest with Don Buckalow. Fort Harrison's staunch-hearted soldier, drew the loudest round of applause last night. Gustafson wouldn't go down last night even in the face of a piledriving attack by Lee Lewk, terrifichitting Richmond Negro. Lewis hit him with everything but the flood lights in the first round, but a jaw of steel shook the blows off. It was give -and - take for three furious rounds and both scrappers gave their all. Only the incoming blows seemed to keep the fighters from falling face forward as they slugged it out in the center of the ring. Gustafson won a popular decision and the Novice middleweight crown Anew star soared to the top of the novice heavyweight ranks. Karl Brauer. Tech High School fullback fighting under the colors of South Side Turners, discovered poison in his gloves that won him the title in that division. Brauer kayoed Glen Maxwell, biggest mastodon of the tourney, with one sudden blow to the button in the second round. He returned defeat Johnnie Dagelow of Shelbyville who had clowned his way to a victory over Thomas Wise of the U. S. Tires A. C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TRIES

FRANK FEHSENFELD. pictured here, who won his first aquatic laurels while completing for Indianapolis Athletic Club, 10 years ago, will be competing against his former mates when the University of Michigan swimming squad appears in the I. A. C. tank tonight. Fehsenfeld is captain of the Wolverine squad. His outstanding accomplishment in collegiate competition was the annexing of both the high and low board national intercollegiate titles last year. Fehsenfeld, with Bed Grady and Derland Johnston, will dive against Hal Benham, Strother Martin and Russell Romine, I. A. C. divers, in the competition here tonight. Action is to begin at 8. of the most savage punchers in the tourney, Allen Bridewell, Senate Avenue Y. Negro, Troutman battled his way to a kayo in the third round. Bridewell started a flow of blood with the first blow of the fight, but Troutman overcame the handicap and beat him at his own game. After that gruelling battle, he came back to decision Bob Blue, Turners’ stiff puncher, who had scored a quick and easy knockout earlier in the evening. In the last bout on the program Troutman injured his blasting right hand and was forced to retire, giving the novice welter title to Elza Bates, Bess A. C.’s mauling Negro. Bobby Guss, Washington A. C. flyweight; Buckv Cunningham, Oliver bantam; Harold McDermid. Washington featherweight; Floyd Ford, Bess A. C. flashy Negro lightweight, and Lloyd "Dodd, husky soldier, captured well-deserved titles in the other Novice branches. Five knockouts, five technical kayoes, one default caused by an injury and 28 close decisions resulted in the 39-fight program which lasted almost six hours. As was the case each of the preceding Friday nights, the crowd stuck till the last, afraid it would miss some of the outstanding performances. The strategy and training of the local fight team in Chicago has been entrusted to two fight handlers who had scrappers in this year’s tourney. Porter Stewart, trainer and second of the Washington A. C. battlers, and Wilbur Boyce, Bess A. C. trainer, were selected to take charge. Two alternates to be ready in case of emergency are Ernie Bonsall of Richmond and Kelse McClure of Colonial A. C. The selections were made from the ring last night.

Young Brubaker Upsets Levinsky Coast Heavy Has Kingfish on Floor Twice. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 15.—Phil Brubaker, Dinuba (Cal.) boxer, moved nearer the front rank of heavyweight boxing contenders today following a decisive 10-round decision over King Levinsky, fading Chicago fish peddler. Only one glaring weakness was apparent in the former College of Pacific student’s r.ng makeup as he hooked and jabbed his way to victory before a capacity house at Dreamland Auditorium last night and that was his inability to go 10 rounds without slowing down. Brubaker scored two no-count knockdowns and consistently Oi.itpointed Levinsky through early rounds of the fight. He stabbed Levinsky repeatedly with shots to the head and body and evaded most of the Kingfish’s roundhouse swings. ST. PAUL BLANKS FOE By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY.

Big Names in Majors Still Holding Out Greenberg Among More Than Fifty Who Refuse to Sign. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 15.—More than 50 major league baseball players have not signed their contracts, a check-up by the United Press revealed today. At least half the group are genuine holdouts. Among the most stubborn holdouts are Hank Greenberg, Detroit Tigers’ slugger; Augie Galan, fleet Chicago Cubs’ outfielder; Arky Vaughan, Pittsburgh Nation a 1 League batting champion; Van Mungo, Brooklyn’t ace pitcher; Luke Appling, Chicago White Sox, shortstop; Buddy Myer, Washington’s American League batting champion; Bob Johnson, Philadelphia Athletics outfielder; Sam West, St. Louis Browns’ outfielder, and the two Dean boys of the Cardinals. Greenberg, first baseman of the World Champion Tigers, perhaps is the No. 1 holdout. He pe-formed last season for a salary said to be about $7500. He indicated early in the season that he wanted approximately $40,000. The Tigers are understood to have offered him a contract for twice his 1934 salary, but he is still dickering for more money. The National League champion Chicago Cubs have signed all of their players except Augie Galan, who collected as much from bonuses in 1935 as he made from his regular salary. Tom Yawkey’s high-priced Boston Red Sox, with a pay roll of about $250,000, has four prominent players unsigned. They are Third Baseman Bill Werber, Catcher Rick Ferrell, Pitcher Johnny Marcum and Infielder Bob McNair. The two batting champions, Buddy Myer of Washington and Arky Vaughan of Pittsburgh, have failed to accept the contracts first offered them.

U. S. Hockey Squad Faces Crucial Game Americans Need Win Over Britain to Stay in Olympic Running. By U w ited Brest GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany, Feb. 15.—Ivan Brown and Alan Washburn, daring young men from Keene Valley, N. Y.. won the two-man bob-sled title today to give America its first championship of the fourth Winter Olympic games. Meantime four powerfully built blonds from Sweden swept the first four places in the gruelling 50kilometer 1 31.05 miles> ski run, r o shoot their country up to fourth place in the unofficial but none-the-less coveted team championship. Scorning the use of the brake, Brown and Washburn, bobbed all the way through two runs on the dangerous Mount Gudiberg cours<~, to win with total elapsed time of 5:29.29. Norway Far Ahead With the morning events completed. Norway held to its lead of 94 points. This certainly will win the team title. Germany was next in line with 55. Finland's fifth place in the 50-kilometer, added two points to its total which is now 40, and holds the Finns in third place. Sweden, however, scored 22 points in the distance run and is only one point behind with 39. The United States is fifth with 29' 2 , one point ahead of Austria. A hockey committee revised its rules once again last night and a? soon as that bit of master-minding wag complete, Canada went out and defeated Czechoslovakia, 7 to 0. Unfavorable to U. S. The latest ruling covering the final round involving four teams is that a team entering the final round with a victory over another finalist shall be credited as having beaten its opponent in the final round. In other words. Great Britain which beat Canada, and the United States which beat the Czechs, entered the round with one win each, and the Canadians and Czechs with one loss each. The new scoring system is definitely unfavorable to the United States, favors Great Britain considerably and slightly favors Canada. The whole issue now depends upon tonight's match between Great Britain and the United States. If Britain beats the United States, Britain will win the championship. However, if the United States beats the English and then loses to Canada on Sunday, all three will havo four points and Canada would win the title on the basis of most goals scored.
