SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY

The Loughran-Braddock Battle Two strapping young Irishmen will battle Thursday night for a title neither covets. The drop of a hat was enough to set their forefathers to scrapping, so Tommy Loughran and James J Braddock will fight 15 rounds or so over something almost as inconsequent)?—the light heavyweight championship. Both men have their eyes upon the heavyweight crown, now that the Schmeling-ltuelow impasse has made it practically certain that the title will not be awarded to anyone this year. Whichever wins will give the 175pound championship little thought. Braddock already shapes up as a most promising heavyweight. Loughran. none too tugged, can outbox any of litem in the unlimited division. Thursday night's affair promises to be a good scrap whatever the motives of the contenders. Each feels he must win or suffer a setback. Braddock is plodding along on the upgrade; Loughran Is going back. Jimmy can hit like a pile driver; Tommy scarcely can brush the flies from his opponents' noses. The Jersey City boy is a native young socket; the champion is a sophlsicated old fox. It will be something like the Tun-ney-Dempsey tights, with Btaddock trying constantly to reach Loughran, with an excellent chance of flattening Tommy it the champion is careless Unless Loughran is bereft of his customary skill as to provide a wide opening it is doubtful if Jimmy will lay a glove on him in the opening rounds.

No More SSO Hips The Madison Square Garden Corporation, as usual, is promoting Thursday night's fight. Tiie Home of the Daughters of Jacob Is benefiting by the profits, it any. ringside seats at the Jaulino-Schmel-ing brawl also a charity affair—Persuaded VV. F. Carey and his associates that the forthen’ming fight did not warrent the customary exorbitant prices. Accordingly, the seats are priced from 32 to 315 which is “more like it." There is also a state tax of five percent to be paid by the purchaser. Since this affair is for chairty, the United States government waives its right to u 25 per cent tax But because it is a New .York charity, the state waives nothing. It collects its five per cent before the Home of the Daughters of JaJcob gets a dime. Killing the Goose W. F. Carey and his associates are so fond of promoting in a “big way" that they naturally feel hurt at having to go to so much trouble over a fight which isn't going to cost the ringside patrons more than 315. They feel, and rightly so, that this price isn’t enough to tempt the “better class" of fight patrons. Some real fight fans are likely to get up near the ringside at this one. It is a good thing for Madison Squar Garden, however. This business of charging 350 for a second rate boxing exliibltion which doesn't even involve a title is ridiculous, and If Carey and his friends don't find it out for themselves they may have a sorry awakening some day.

U.S. TENNISTEAM MEETS GERMANY New York. July 15 —(U.R) • The I United States Lawn Tennis associaitlon announced today that the American team which will meet the Germans In the Inter-zone finals of Davis cup play will be composed of William T Tilden, Francis Hunter, Wilmer i Allison and Joint Van Ryn.

Lott anil John Hennessey, others on the Davis ctip squad, the latter of whom played in the finals against France last year, were not mentioned. It Is assumed Allison and Van Ryn will comprise the United States doubles team against the Get mans. New York, July IB—(U.R)—It will be Germany against the United States in the Interzone finals of Davis cup play this week. When "Bunny" Austin, slender, dark-haired vouug English star, collapsed at the climax of his match with Dr. Daniel Prenn, champion of the center court of the Berlin Red-White club Sunday, the German team qualified to meet the Americans. Unheralded. Germany has come to the fore in international tennis with surprising rapidity. Dr. Prenn. national champion at the age of 25, is a persistent, courageous player who possesses the tremendous stamina so essential to success. His two singles victories, together with one scored by Hans Moldenauer, the brilliant if somewhat erratic "veteran" of 28. gave the German team its victory over the English in the European tone final round. BLUE LARKSPUR RUNS GREAT RACE Chicago. July 15.—(U.R)—It has tak en more than half the season for him to prove his right to the crown but Blue Larkspur has become king of the 1929 three-year-olds. This son of Behave Yourself has not been so consistent as some of the “greats" of other years but be convinced more than 50,000 people here Saturday that when he is in form there isn’t a three-year-old which can claim parity with him. With the greatest of his class trailing him, he won the $70,000 American classic by five lengths. He led home such horses as Clyde Van Dusen, Kentucky Derby winner; Dr. Freeland, Preakness winner; Windy City, American derby victor, and Rose of Sharon, the year's best filly. The type of race he ran led many to wonder how he ever had been beaten this year. Under a fine ride by Jockey Mack Garner he lay well back, with Garner standing in his stirrups, for a while. As the stretch was reached Little Mack began to ride and Lark spur pulled from fourth to first position within 100 yards, increasing his lead in the stretch. Van Dusen tried to overhaul him but his attempt didn’t even bring about a contest. Van also finished behind Live Ooak, a field horse which took second place.
