PRO FOOTBALL TO BE LEADER Red (Jrange Predicts Pro Game W ill Be America’s Leading Sport New York, Nov. 3.— (U.R) —The great American sport 20 years from now will be professional footbud. played at night in huge in door stadiums, Harold 'Red" Grange predicted today. The former galloping ghost of Illinois University, probably the most widely publicized player in gridiron history, said he was con vinced that when commercial football overcame the hazard of weather it would attain proportions probably greater than present-day big : league baseball. | Grange, comp’eting his seventh season of pro ball and rounding out his 16th year of grid participation. spoke enthusiastically of the game's future in a chat at his hotel. A member of the Chicago Bears he's here for their national i league game with tile New York Giants on Sunday. ‘ Weather has been the greatest lobstacle to the professional game's progress since its beginning ten years ago," said the henna-haired 186-pounder. In spite of this the sport has made such rapid strides in the last three years that promoters will take steps shortly to e iminate this uncertainty. "Already some of them are making p ans to build mammoth indoor plants where the game can be played at night during five months of the year—from late September to late February. Then, it can rain or snow, but the fans will be there hist the same.” Grange emphasized that most college athletic associations are not bothered by the weather. Tickets are sold in advance, and the g .me is pl yed as Scheduled, regardless of the weather —whether the fans come or not. It doesn't matter, the money already is in the cash register. But the big ticket sale for professiom' games comes on the day of the contest. Few fans turn out if tile weather is bad. and the promoters are thr w? f r a loss tlu t cuts down their profits on good

THE featherweight division has been in a muddle since Battling Battalino gave up the title when he found that he could no longer make 126 pounds a little less than a year ago. After Bat stepped down, the featherweights were left without a charm pion, and nobody seemed to care much about it one way or another, as there weren't any colorful boxers performing in the 126 pound ranks at that time. Kid Chocolate was then campaigning as a lightweight, and Earl Mastro had been forced to quit the ring because of bad eyesight. Nobody else of any fistic importance was in sight; and so the throne which had been graced by McGovern, Attell and Dundee remained without an incumbent It was inevitable that some ,t---tempt would be made to fill the vacancy. even though there were no featherweights around who could draw a nickel in at the box office. The National Boxing Association sanctioned a featherweight elimination tournament which was held in Detroit, and incidentally proved to be a terrible financial frost. The only fighter of any note who competed in the tournament was the veteran Fidel Labarba, and he was eliminated in the semi-final round on an odoriferous decision.

game days. "Commercial football is catching on amazingly," Grange continued. "There are three reasons for this: i.lt The profe--3!onals play better football than collegia, s, (2> It gives tiu chap who hasn’t gon- to col ego a team to cheer for, and <3l the prices are within reach of the average man. “The most important of these, reasons is that the butchers, bricklayers. plumbers, mechanics, truck drivers and their wives get a team they can ca l their own, a team they can root for on Sunday. Most people haven’t gone to college so why should they get all excited over a college game. But giro them their Dodgers, Giants, or Bears, and they're out there yelling their heads off as loudly as any alumnus ’ for near old Ruggles." POLICE GUARD GANG LEADERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE?

The trucking racket, success of which Sin emaker 'believed hinged on the election outcome, was predicated, he said, on contn i by the gang' of several outlaw labor cnipns.

The ultimate victor and new | featherweight champion fas far as i the N. B. A. was concerned I turned out to be a young Buffalo featherweight by the name of Tommy Paul This so-called champion proceeded to engage in a couple of bouts, insisting each time that his opponent come in over the 126 pound limit so that his synthetic title would not be at stake. In these overweight bouts he was soundly trounced by Fidel Labarba and Lew Feldman, but these losses did not affect his status as "champion.” Meanwhile, out on the Pacific coast a sensational Mexican ban tamweight began to kick up a lot of dust, fistically speaking. Alberto! "Baby" Arizmendi is his name, and I though he was then only 18 years' old he had already engaged in near- > ly 200 ring encounters down in that dear old Mexico. The Eaby blew into Los Angeles and made a great hit right off the bat by dealing out nifty pastings to Claude Varner and Newsboy Brown. It was just at this point in the story that Mr. Tommy Paul, the N. B. A. champion, made his big mistake. He accepted a fat offer to box Arizmendi down in Mexico City in a non-fitlr bout. When Mr Paul got down there on the day of the fight, he found that Arizmendi. who is in reality a bantamweight, was unable to come in over 126 pounds. Sur- 1

charged dealers who wished to use extra trucks or other favors. In recent weeks, po'ice asserted, the gangsters have been active ill the support of certain candidates on whose aid. if elected, they counted to strengthen their positions.' Just public officials would ■ t-ld the gangsters' plans was omitted from the police theory. Alleged alliances between certain pub lie officials and racketeers have been represented as working in the past in divers ways. MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

rounded by a hostile crowd of Mexicans. Paul didn't dare to puli out of the match. Result- - Baby Arizmendi weigh ing 124 Mt pounds, handed Tommy Paul a terrific beating, flooring him twice and nearly knocking him out. The California boxing commission then recognized Arizmendi as featherweight champ. While this was going on. Kid Chocolate was being appointed 126 pound ruler by the New York boxing commission. The Chocolate “Keed,” finding that he could still make the featherweight limit, de tided that he might as well giub the vacated title. so he took on Lew Feldman New York featherweight in a bout which the New York solons designated as a title affair The “Keed" managed to pull through with a rather hollow technical kayo victory over the New York Hebrew when an old wound in Feldman’s schnozzle forced the referee to stop the fight. Now Chocolate and Arizmendi are to be matched, and the winner will meet Nel Tarleton. European 126 pound boss in a bout which should finally settle the featherweight tangle. My guess is that the Mexican Baby will make it very hot for the other two in this three cornered tourney Copyright I* ;■ Ktne Featurwt gyndtrste loc
