SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY

By Frank Getty . The Kid's Next Fight Not since the night when Jimmy Me Lamin stepped up like a little man and took his boxing lesson from Sammy Mandell have eastern fight fans been treated to a bout which held as much promise in the way of action between little fellows as next Thursday's engagement at the Polo Grounds where Kid Chocolate, undefeated Ctt ban featherweight, meets Al Singer, Bronx junior lightweight. Each is meeting an opponent calct. lated to try his mettle to the utmost. Singer, despite a setback at the bands of Ignacio Gernandez, has come back strongly and should rule a slight favorite. But the Kid is not lacking in backers, for he lias scored 119 knockouts in his 154 fights, and only once has been held to a draw. The last was on the occasion when Joe Scalfaro dropped Chocolate unexpectedly in the opening round and it took the dusty little Cuban ten rounds to overcome the handicap. , A Chocolate Dandy The Kid. while he will be outweighed by five pounds or so Thursday night lacks nothing in the way of hight or reach, as he is one of the tallest of the present crop of featherweights and stands 5 feet, seven inches, in his silk socks. Chocolate's share of the booty should be nearly $50,000, if the interest of boxing fans is turned to cash Thursday, and this will bring his ring earnings to more than $135,000.

footwork now aboard canvas, are the Kid's best trouble-makers, with a wicked left hook and a modern repertoire of blows calculated to give Chocolate more trouble than any oppenent the Cuban as yet has faced. No Title But Real Action There will be no title at stake. It is •he last time the two will meet, in all propability, for Singer is growing rabidly into the lightweight division, while Chocolate never will be much heavier than a featherweight. Despite the fact that there is no championship involved, interest in the bout exceeds that which preceded the recent appearances of champions in this vicinity. For it will be a fight; there is no doubt whatever of that. A Wise Move Madison Square Garden Corporation wisely lias scaled the prices to suit the pocketbooks of the fans, rather than to press agent the affair by exorbitant charges for seats. The prices range from $1 to sl3, and the reward will be a tremendous attendance and better feeling all around. Frank Bruen, the new vice-presi-dent of the Garden in charge,of boxing. wisely decided to dispense with the old system of charging extrava gant sums for ringside seats, and the corporation is hound to benefit greatly in the long run, and on Thursday night, as well. They will draw close to $200,000, which is a record at the price tor a non-championship affair between little men.

Dr. Eckener’s desire to land by day-J light caused the Graf to cruise slowly; down the coast from Sari Francisco to Los Angeles and beach cities patting for dawn. In addition to being the first nonstop flight over the route, it registered the fastest trip ever made from Tokio to Los Angeles* The sun that was dropping down behind the rim of the Pacific last night as the Graf sailed into the Golden Gate at San Francisco, was sending its first rays over the Sierra Nevada coast range today as the big bag nestled against its landing post. Lady Drummond Hay, the only woman passenger abroad, exercized I her woman's prerogative of being tlie I first to speak j Through the microphone that was ' brought up to the mooring mast for j the landing. Lady Drummond said: “I am so gldd to be back in America.” Sir Hubert Wilkins, the noted explorer. was the first to fall prey to an autograph seeker. A Boy Scout, who had been on duty at the airport, tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to sign an autograph book. Sir Hubert obliged. After the passengers had satisfied customs officials they were taken to a downtown hotel. The Hamburg-Amerika lines, handling passenger arrangements for the flight, made the unexpected announcement that the Graf probably would resume its flight tonight. An 11 p.m. sailing schedule was set. Zeppelin officials said that if weather conditions were ordinary, Dr. Eckener would select the southern route, flying directly from here to El Paco, Texas. The path from El Paso will depend entirely on weather reports, it was said. , o SATURDAY'S RESULTS Chicago 9; Philadelphia 6 . New York 14-7; Pitsburgh 8-6. ’ St. Louis 3; Boston 1. !
