LEWIS-GAINER ~ FIGHT DELAYED Light Heavyweight Fight Is Postponed For One W eek New Haven. Conn.. Oct. 20 — (U.R) — Light heavyweight champion John Henry Lewis resumed training today and challenger Al Gainer went to the doctor for a sinus treatment utter a one-week postponement of their 15-round title fight scheduled for tomorrow night. Climaxing a comic opera day in which the governor amended the Connecticut boxing laws and Gainer was taken Into custody on u body writ, the postponement was ordered last night when it I was learned that Al was suffering from a severe sinus condition. The New Haven negro had complained of a cold and head pains for several days, and Dr. Francis E. Foley, commission physicinn, discovered the sinus infection He informed the other commissioners, and Chairman Frank Coskey announced the postponement to | Oct. 28. The physical examination followed Gainer's relen«» from the I writ sworn out by Billy Clark, a former negro pugilist who came out of a card game scuffle several , months ago with a broken.jaw. He told the judge it was Gainer's knuckles that had collided with his jawbone, and was awarded a $2,500 judgment. Gainer had been promising to pay it. he said. Gainer played hide-and-seek with two deputy sheriffs all day yesterday, but was finally caught off base and haled Into court early in the evening. Nathan Podoloff. manager of the NewHaven arena where the fight is scheduled, posted a $5,000 bond to secure his freedom. Gainer is expected to get between $4,000 and $5,000 as his 12 per cent end of the purse. Eat Her Gov. Wilbur Cross signed an amendment to the boxing laws providing for decisions by a referee and two judges in all world, sectional and state boxing ’ championship bouts. For years, i the referee had made decisions according to his own point system. The judges must be selected from among the commission’s approved list of referees. .. 0 I Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore * -♦ I New York. Oct. 20.—(U.R)r-I firmly believe that witches ride the heavens on brooms during all-Hal-lows eve. that Easter eggs come directly from rabbits, untouched by human hands, that two can ove as economically as one, and that there is a pot of gold at the end . of every rainbow. So you see. I’m no skeptic. But there are things that I don’t believe. I don’t believe, for example. that a young man named Jack Harris ever offered John Donald Budge $75,000 in cash to quit being an amateur tennis player and become a professional. I just can’t bring myself to a point where I can swallow the statement from Chicago that Harris had made such I an offer and that Budge had turn-j ed it down. In the first place, ST3,OOQ is a j lot of money for anybody named] Harris to have on hand. That sort of negotiable confetti is associated only with persons named Morgan. Mellon, or Rockfeller. Os course, this being the land of opportunity, it is possible that a Harris has it, but he is going to have to count it "before my eyes—and in ones—before I believe it. For some reason I can’t connect a fellow capable of rustling up $75,000 in cash with a fellow who cares whether a tennis player stays amateur or professional. But even if this Harris man counted off the bills before my eyes I wouldn't believe that Donald Budge ever turned them down. I have been watching Budge for four years now, and he never had given me any reason to believe ( that he is crazy. Off court and on court he has behaved like a fellow who possessed his tuil equipment of cerebellum stuffing. He eats, talks, and acts like one in LOANS $lO to S3OO On Your OWN Signature No Endorsers Absolute privacy. No questions asked of friends or employer—No embarrassing inquiries.

full control of his faculties, and | unless he has met with some sudden and terriffic shock since I last I I saw him at Forest Hills, he never | turned down $75,000. The life of the ranking amateur I tennis players is a very nice one. I know, what with its complete lack of responsibilities, swank clubs, full moons, regiments of what Kipling described as a rag. ! a bone and a hank of hair, and I spending money A man might ■ uoi give up sucu a life fui sls,vvv or even $25,000. but $75,000- —well that's a different matter. * The offer of Harris and the re-' fusal of Budge come tinder the: head of publicity, ballyhoo, tub i thumping. To you the truth | I'm all for the ballyhoo if it will I mean any enore to Btftige. I don't say this because Donald is any friend of mine. In fact. I don't think he likes me very much. 1I know the first time we met he said ' something like, "oh. so you're Me- \ Lemore. Well, well, well. I always ‘ thought I'd like to punch you in the nose.” He had read something I had I said about him that he didn't like. | But small as I am (in spirit, 11 mean) I am not small enough to I let any feeling Donald might have. [ for me color my feelings toward | him as a tennis player. He dei serves all he can get out of professional tennis. He is a sportsman from his sneakers to the top of his red head. His court manners have always been more than j impeccable — they have always been those of a gentleman who wanted to win a point in but one , way, by merit. And I believe him ; to be the greatest player of the I game who ever lived. (Copyright 1938 by UP.) Says Budge Signed Salt Lake City, Oct. 20.—(U.RX— Dave Freed, secretary of the In-i terMountain Tennis Association,' today quoted a tennis professional, las saying that Don Budge has ! been signed "for several weeks' ! to a $50,000 contract for a one' year professional tour. i Freed quoted Walter Senior, ! who made a pro tour last year ! with Ellsworth Vines and Fred i Perry. Senior said that Jack Hat-1 rls. Chicago promoter, had disclos-! ed Budge's signing as a profession-1 ! al during a visit here in Septemb- | er. "Senior told me that Budge had okayed a contract for a tour this ‘ winter,” Freed said. The report-, ed disagreement between Budge i and Harris over whether Budge’ would get the SIOO,OOO he was ask- ( ing, or the $75,000 Harris offered. I was described by Senior as a pub-1 llcity stunt. “Baron Gottfried Von Cramm | probably will be included in the' plans for the tour,” Freed said, " if Von Cramm can get permission to leave Germany.” _ o ———————— * TODAY’S COMMON ERROR |l — | Moral is pronounced mor'-al; 11 | not morl. | ‘

T" I*' 1 *' ' 11 1 ' ' Decatur's Yellow Jackets will be gunning tor their second victory of the season Friday night, when they travel to Columbia City to battle the Eagles in a northeastern Indiana conference tilt. Decatur chances for a victory Friday night look better than ever as Columbia City apparently is weaker than for several seasons. The Eagles were handed a severe trouncing by the Bluffton Tigers last week, with Bluffton using every man in uniform. Speaking of Bluffton, the Tigers will be in Decatur next Wednesi day night, October 26, to meet the Yellow Jackets in tfie final home game of the Decatur season. Next Wednesday’s game will be a return engagement for the two teams, as the Yellow Jackets play--1 ed at Bluffton in the opening game i ' of the season. Bluffton chalked up a 20-0 victory over the Yellow Jackets in that contest and the Decatur lads are hoping to make amends for that defeat. —oOo— The Jackets’ principal task will i be to stop Kinsey, Bluffton's veter- | an backfield man who has been running wild all season. In fact, ! Bluffton fans are boosting Kinsey : as a candidate for all-state honors I this season. Aided by some spien- ' did blocking by his mates, Kinsey has reeled off numerous sensational runs for touchdowns this season. Foilowing the Biufftun game, the j Yellow Jackets will have only one ■ more game on the schedule. De- ■ catur will play the North Side Red--1 skins at Fort Wayne Friday night, i November 4. to close the 1938 ' season. Lindbergh Starts On German Aircraft Tour — Berlin, Oct. 20.—(U.P>— Col.
