FIGHT RUMORS HEARD IN MIAMI I Miami, Fla., Feb. 26. ffj.R) Today was the day of rumors and tin- , easiness the day before a major 1 prize flglit. With training activities, except for limb-ring up exercises hy the 1 various tlghti i> ent reh suspend led there was nothing left for the fight followers to do but -preml stories and listen to denials. One yarn went around that Jim 1 my Johnson really meant It w.ien he threatened to take Phil Scott out of the fight if he didn't have his way about th ■ rules, lb' wants the right to throw in the towel ami he doesn’t want threferee to have the right to stop the fight without , consent of the seconds. But that rumor was quickly written off by everyone concerned, except'ng Johnson who contended himself with hedging a little. Another story was that less than SIOOOOO worth of tickets had been sold. But the promoters, while not giving out the < xect figures, laugh led that one off And there were many oth rs. still wilder ones, concerning the various fighters. The consensus was that the fight tomorrow night ought to be a great show f iim the standpoint ’of a mini who goes to i tight iner ly to see fighting a.id doesn't worrv A worth while s involved. The main event between Shari: i and Scott is expected to be simply a necessary evil. Scott isn't coni ,-eded a chance by anyone outsidi iof his own camp. But the other bouts should !>e bang-up affairs. Vittorio Campolo and Johnny Risko are expected to furnish the real scrap of the evening. Campolo, the gsant Arg, mine. who wilt go into the ring weighing something iis" 227, is said to be in the lest ship bis career. De has learned considerable about boxing although there is a suspicion he i might lear.i more from Risko. A got d many experts think that I he bout m. y wind up with one o the two men in a pos tion where he lean nibble around at least, at the heavyweight crown in the rble of j a future challenger. Tommy' L mghran is the favorite to beat Pieri e. Charles of Belgium, but by t.o p.eat margin. The ex perts pronounce Charles a tough j ad. although not many of their feel he -in '<itv.it the smart and thifty L ughran or out-hit him either. Jim Maloney of Boston is a favnite to w : o- e" Moise P.ouquillon of France. although anyone who i wants to can get up an argument |an the point. — o , D/ISKEmWV, °h Day after tomorrow, and the first lap of the three week race for basketball supremacy in Indiana will start. —oOo — The Decatur high school YellowJackets are drilling hard for the opening game o'.’ the Fort Wayne [ sectional with Central at 4 o’clock Friday afternoon. We honestly be Ueve the winner of that ganfe will win th sectional. —oOo — From all indications Decatur will get the tip-off. This advantage should make Decatur the favorite—and Basketbawls believes D-catur will win the Central game and the tourney. 000— The Central Emerson of Gary game last Saturday night was a farce comedy in two acts -Central played a high grade township h and of ba:ketbnll — running wild over the hardwood, with no system oth er than a wild rush up ami down the floor on offense. 000 - The Central defense however is good—thanks to a Mr. Buggs, who is one of the best guards in the state. —oOo-u The Curtismen will have a following of some thousand folks there and we wouldn't be surprised if most of the outside rooting for the Jackets In th “" Central. game. —oOo— t The Cleveland-Fort Wayne Hoosier net game last night was a great game from a spectator's viewpoint.
