CITY CHAMP PREPARES ERSE FOR TITLE
By L. A. JOHNSON As the time grows shorter, Or- LoCCll StttV ville Grant, the defending champion seems to become more consistent. However, he anticipates a tough campaign this year. Several playg whom we omitted last week,, who will have lots to say as to our 1932 winner are: Ben Johnson, Jesse Martin, Dr. Theo. David, Ed High, Theo. Smith, Dr. H. H. Murray, Sam Waters. Herbert rtiggins. In the women’s division Miss Minnie Talbott. As to the out come in doubles, there will be several new combinations, Cable-Zeigler, L. Johnson, T. Jefferson and Hayes and Hayes. The Payne brothers will not play this year due to an injury which "Little Dough" received last winter. Hummons and Freeman will be the only team from last year. There are many strong teams in the field.

Ralph H. White, who has edited the sports pages of The Terre Haute 'Tribune for more than twenty years and who is considered one Of the leading authorities on sports in the country, has the following to say about our new state heavyweight
ehampiOn, Tiger Jack Fox:
Ferocious and warlike monikerg attached to th? many warriors of the squared circle are misleading, inasmuch as "One Round This” or
"K. O. That” or "Wildcat McOIuck.”
An outstanding exception, however, Irr the person of “Tiger” Jack Fox, heavyweight, who is now under the management of Don Curley and Samuel Webb, has been exploited several times here.

Warfield had been fiianuging the Washington (D. C.)

“That Lincoln give positive assurance that she is willing to abidi by the rules of the C. I. A.

team was the result of bad judgement as well as an accident at the last hurdle in the 400-meter. He was the heavy favorite, and in the gruelling finish struck the last huhdle under terrific pressure and collapsed on the track, twenty yards
from the tape.
He was helped to his feet and left the track, which also disqualified him, although an official pointI ed out his error and he returned to the track and walked across the finish line. If Beatty had not been helped to his feet and if he had not left the track he would have been selected for the Olympic team in place of Hardin who on his own admission crossed over from the third to the second- lane on the turn thus saving three or four yards in this staggered race. EdWard Gordon of the University of Iowa with a broad jump of 24 feet 9 inches took third in the finals and made his place on the team. Miss Louise Stokes of Malden, Massachusetts, and Miss Tidye Pickett of Chicago, were selected for the women’s 400-meter relay team. They finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the finals of the 100-
meter dash.

fooling the public.
Last April, when “Tiger” Fox breezed into the Shrine arena, the fans thought his mentor, Don Curley, was merely pro-. viding them with a little novel entertainment. But when the bell clanged, his heavyweight opponent, Jim Carr, another dusky battler of parts, was the first one to discover it was no joke. Fox swooped across the ring and let drive a right hand that had two ton; behind It. .He slammed Carr so hard that he bounched back up like a rubber ball arid the second punch from Fox took all the bounce out of Carr, hence he was counted out. Then Buck Everett, the tough Gary battler, was signed to meet Fox a few weeks later and Everett was the second opponent to fall a victim to the tigerish talent olf Fox, as the “Tiger” zoomed into such terific first round action that Everett was stretched out cold in a minute and 35 seconds after taking two knock-
downs in the opening minute of the round . Redman Next Victim >• iJ; Ail*.
Some Terre Haute Tans still tnougiit Fox was a big black accident and clamored to see him matched with the state heavyweight champion Jack Redman, who was tnought unbeatable and who had been defeating and knocking out the best heavyweights Indianapolis pormoters could bring in for him in New York. The Redihan-Fox hiuteh was made and fans trooped from all over the state to see the two punch it

He defeated all the good heavyweights on the coast who could be induced to meet him and he also cleaned up all opposition through the great southwest before coming to Indiana to go under the direction of Curley and subsequently to fight his way into the heavyweight championship of Indiana and in so doing he became the national colored heavyweight champion.
