Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
New YORK. July 16.—A young man who i& on the upgrade and a somewhat older young man who is on the downgrade will battle for the light heavyweight championship of the world at the stadium rhursriay night. The young man who is coming along is named James J. Braddock. and he was born in Forty-eighth street, a block or so from Madison Square Garden, of an English father and an Irish mother. a a a t The somewhat older youth who is on the downgrade is Tommy Loughran, defending rhampion from Philadelphia, one of the high class gents in the potato mashing trade, and a veteran of more than ten years' of battling. a a a The question involved in the meeting of thefre two in eomparath ely simple. Has the lounger man rome foruarn tar enoutb o manhandle the older young nan on bis to the end of tbs .f, o *?' The aner to this is the answer to the fight, tint simple as the problem sms nobodv has vet eontrived a solution that Is definitely arreptahle to both , There are the usual ifs. and. what nots and vawns. tt tt tt THIS department has been moaning the Loughran blues for a number of months. It has seemed to me the champion has been slipping for more than a year. The last impressive performance he turned in was against Leo Lomski when he scrambled up out of the resin twice and went on to win one of his greatest fights. Since then his work has been spotty and mediocre. Fellows like Latzo, Sekyra. Emanuel, Walker and Schaaf gave him a lot of trouble. All of them hit him with right hands frequently. Three or four years ago they wouldn't have laid a glove on him. a a a From the beginning the cornerstone of Loughran’s technique has been speed. Speed is something a boxer has less of with each passing year. In all sports the legs go first. This is as true of fighting as of baseball, golf, tennis, ambulance chasing and tap dancing. a J a LOUGHRAN MAY BE JUST AS CLEVER WITH HIS FISTS TODAY AS HE EVER WAS, BUT YOU CAN BET ALL THE BLACK SHIRTS IN ITALY THAT HIS LEGS AREN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE. a a tt BRADDOCK is a right-handed puncher, and like most righthanded punchers, he hits with emphasis and effort. He broke Latzo’s .jaw, flattened Griffith's in two rounds, and stopped Slattery in nine. On the strength of his showing in these three fights he was matched for the championsip. It is conceded the only way he can win is to stop Loughran by tagging him on the jaw. Otherwise he figures to be outpointed in much the same way and by much the same decisiveness that Mandell outpointed the slugging McLarnin a year ago lor the lightweight title. a tt a IT IS ONE THING TO PUT A MAN ON THE FLOOR. IT IS QUITE ANOTHER TO KEEP HIM THERE THE MATTER OF DYNAMIC PUNCHING HAS SOMEHING TO DO WITH THE FEAT. AND LEG POWER. PLUS GENERALSHIP. IS A DEFENSIVE FACTOR THAT FIGURES IMPORTANTY. THERE WAS ENOUGH AGILITY LEFT IN THE LOUGHRAN LEGS TO SAVE HIM AGAINST LOMSKI AFTER TWICE GOING TO THE CANVAS. BUT THAT WAS MONTHS AKO AND THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAR THE CHAMPION HAS GONE BACK SINCE THEN.

Six Indianapolis Women Reach Second Round of State Golf
Miss Dunn Continues to Rule Favorite at Meridian Hills in Title Play; Easy Victory Scored Today: One Match Goes Extra Holes. BY DICK MILLER Six Indianapolis women remained in the running for Indiana's golf crown for feminine golfers after the first round of the state tournament at Meridian Hills Country Club was ended today. Among them were the city champion. Miss Elizabeth Dunn, who won the state title in 1926-27, and Mrs Ben C. Stevenson. Meridian Hills, another state ex-champion.
Mrs. Alfred E. Bulson, Ft. Wayne, j earned her way to another step in I defense of the state title she now ; holds with a victory' over Mrs. A. A. McClamroch, Highland, seven and ! six. 20-Hole Match In a hard battle that continued j until the twentieth green. Mrs. Mar- : joria Fischer Kahn, Broadmoor, ; downed Mrs. Arthur Krick, High- • land, one up. I With the lead see-sawing through | the regular eighteen holes, Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Krick halved the ■ nineteenth, and Mrs. Kahn played ' a five against a seven to win the | match. ; The recurrence of the motherdaughter battle that featured the j 1928 city championship tourney, prophesied after the qualification rounds Monday, became a reality •today when Miss Elizabeth (Buffi Abbott, Avalon, defeated Mrs. Wil'liam Barrere Jr., 7 to 6, and her mother, Mrs. M. J. Abott. Avalon, downed Mrs. Luther Hord. Shelbyville, by the same count.
Daughter Is Favored Although last year her mother staged with her nearly all the way, those who watched the play Monday and today predicted that Miss Abbott would play in the semi-finals Thursday. By virtue of a brilliant card today when she defeated Mrs. Scott Snyder. Ft. Wayne, Miss Dunn appears one of the most likely candidates for the feminine mashie scepter. In the fourteen holes she was a single stroke above par, shooting out the nine in 41. and the other five holes in even par. Miss Dunn won five and four. Mrs. Snyder constantly had trouble with her second shots, hooking them into traps for several extra strokes. Two Birdies Miss Dunn s play was marred only by three three-putt greens on the first nine, but she made up this handicap with two birdies. The only upset of the day came when Miss Helen Benbridge, Terre Haute, defeated Miss Ruth White, Indianapolis C. C., two and one. Miss Lou Adams, Meridian Hills favorite, won from Mrs. Fred Siess, Lebanon, one up. Mrs. Stevenson defeated Mrs. Robert Tinsley. Crawfordsville, six and five. The Dunn-Snyder card was: Par—Out 553 343 645—40 Dunn 564 553 544—41 Snvder -663 654 648—43 Par—ln 343 556 345—40—80 Dunn 453 55x xxx—22—63 Snyder 545 55x xxx—24—72 In the team match Monday, that is the four lowest players from each club in the qualifying round, the Highland Golf and Country Club team galloped off with first honors, six strokes ahead of Meridian Hills, in second place. The Highland four, Mrs. A E. Krick, 92: Mrs. William Barrere, 95; Mrs. Robert Tinsley. 96. and Mrs. A. A. McClamroch, 99; totaled. 382. The Hills team of Mrs. Ben Stevenson. 91; Miss Lou Adams. 92; Mrs. William Diddel. 101. and Mrs. Carl McCaskey, 104; totaled, 388. Four Highland representatives, two of them out-of-town residents, reached the championship flight. Mrs. William Barrere and Mrs. A. E. Krick live here and Mrs. Tinsley at Crawfordsville and Mrs. McClamroch at Frankfort.

IT was apparent Monday to the players who are contesting this week at Meridian Hills in the Indiana women’s golf championship that it was a grave mistake this year not to include thirty-two players in the championship flight instead of sixteen. u n tt The officials say: “We have lots of nice prizes for the various flights and only sixteen to a flight.” But it is our experience that women prefer to mingle in a title flight. It helps their confidence and game. It is time to get the championship flight up to championship basis. tt n tt MRS. C. A.

Babe Ruth Says: ‘l’m in Favor of Screens to Prevent Homers.’
work on the very thing that is responsible for most of the freak homers today—and that's the short fences. They've put a screen across the front of the right field pavilion and balls that used to drop in there for easy home runs bound back on the field now for singles and doubles, which is as it should be. The only way you can get a home run now in the short right field at St. Louis is to knock the ball over the top of the pavilion and out of the park. And when you do that you’ve earned a home run. You know there’s a funny story in connection with that screen in St. Louis, at that. It was put up the day before the Yankees opened a series there, and the St. Louis players were kidding me about it.
‘‘See that screen out there,” Heinie Manush yelled to me. “Well, big boy, that was put up there just on purpose to stop you. You won’t find it so easy rolling up the home runs here' any more,” Heinie chuckled. Laughs Exchanged “Oh,” I said, “that won't bother me at all. I generally hit them out of the park in this town!” In the first game no one even came close to the screen with a batted ball, but in the second game I got hold of one and bounced it off the screen well up toward the top. The ball dropped almost at the outfielder’s feet and instead of the usual home run I had just a single. Boy, how’ that crowd roared and kidded me. I was the first victim of the new screen. “I told you,” Manush yelled when he came in. But the big laugh was that three times in a row Heinie came to bat and socked balls off the screen. It would have been three homers for him and I certainly had a chance to give him the ha-ha at the finish of the game. Same for Everybody Seriously, I think that screen is a great thing. It will take home runs away from me and it will take homers away from a lot of the other players, too—but most of us would rather not make those easy ones, and no one will be doing any kicking so long as every one gets the same sort of break. There are a lot of other parks in the two leagues that could follow the same example, too, believe me. TOBIAS LOSES BOUT TORONTO. Ontario, July 16. Phil Tobias, New York flyweight, was outpointed by Steve Rocco, Canadian, in a ten-rounder here Monday night. MACK BADLY PUNISHED NEW YORK.

CHICAGO, July 13.—There has been a lot of talk about the lively ball and the easy home runs that make a farce of the game, out St. Louis is the only place they've made an effort to stop those homers. And they haven't done anything to the ball, either. They’ve gone to

‘Trans’ Golf Rivals Have Low Scores Marion Turpie Turns in 79 and Mrs. Hill 83: 32 Qualify. By United Press DENVER. July 16.—Thirty-two seasoned golfers today went into the first round of championship play in the annual Women's Trans-Missis-sippi golf tournament here, but the gallery was not at all certain the rest of the matches would produce anything to eclipse Monday’s qualifying round. Miss Marion Turpie. New Orleans, a medalist two years in succession, was paired Monday with the champion, Mrs. O. S. Hill, Kansas City, and turned in a fine 79 for the eighteen holes. The best her painstaking opponent could do was an 83. Mrs. S. I. Hynes, St. Louis, a formidable contender for the 1929 title, played the first nine holes on even terms with Miss Turpie, making a 40. but had trouble with the incoming nine and totalled 87. Four-Bout Bill at Park Arena Thursday’s boxing program at Broad Ripple this week will feature Reamer Roberts and Kid Puckett in the top ten rounds with Kid Chisscl meeting Stanley Ketchel in the semi-final of eight rounds.
