Talking It Over BY JOK WILLIAMS

■XJIW YORK, July 24.—Going through the mall I find a letter from Matt Allen of Memphis, Term., who was when I was In thoee part* Jast a rising young attorney. At least he was young. It seems that Allen has turned from blackstone to cauliflowers. In short he has gone out and got himself a heavyweight fighter, and is preparing to move into the big town. "Pzrhao* vou never heard of Joe Jordan" h writer. "Well. I’ll tell vou how good he I*. He has had ten fiehts and lost only one. He knocked out Battling Boro in leas than a minute, and vou know what Battling Boro is. (Answer: Terrible.i Not onlv that but he practically murdered—(from here on Allen details a series of butcherlngs that leave vou In a cold, clammy sweat, a continuity of cruelty unparalleled in a civilized age.) "Jordan Is 21 years old. weighs 190 nounds and 1* a college graduate. He is fast, game and a hitter, so what more could vou ask? (Personally I’d like a vacht.) His ambition Is to be a great surgeon. He needs money for addlltonal education. He hs decided on the fight game as a means to this end. I think vou will agree this is laudable (Better than that, it s grand If It works.) “I have arranged with Jlmmv Bronson of New York to handle him with me in the east. I have been told that. Bronson is a man of high character. iSome one is always knocking Bronson > We exnect to arrive earlv In August. Wp will not be looking for anv nushovers as vou call diem (nudeeover is the correct word.) We ant to Drove that we have the stuff." man lORDAN is a total stranger to me. ” I never heard of him until I got Allen’s letter. But Allen is a capable Judge of fighters. Looking back over the years it occurs to me that he always had more Interest in the ring than the law. He brought out Pal Moore, another Memphian, and Moore Droved good pnoueh to whip flva different holders of the bantamweight title, although he never held th title himself. In this resoect he holas some sort of a record. If this statement nuzzles vou It can be readllv explained. All of the fights were no decision affairs. That was back in the davs when coddling •Simplon* was a general practice. It was Allen. Incidentally, who Introduced vour correspondent to the fine art of beak busting. I wat one of his pupils. Allen was a realist. He would smack vou on the beezer and sav. "see that Is what I mean bv a straight left.V With practical men there can be no wavering choice between realism and t.heorv. But much of the value of Allen’s direct technic was lost. When he hit vou it was impossible to see I will sar this for the gentleman, however. He never carried brutality to extremes. When vou started to fall he would catch vou. It. wasn't until years later that I learned this was not wholly a humanitarian impulse. Allen merely wanted to save vou for the next round.

I'd like to see Jordan come along. There isn’t a first class heavyweight in the game. Schmeling and Sharkey made that plain. And you never can tell when some young giant is going to come bounding out of nowhere, a champion in the raw. They all come that way. Corbett, was a bank clerk. Fitzsimmons was a blacksmith. Jeffries was a canm hanger on. a sparring mate. Johnson hustled freight on the Galveston Docks. Somebody told Willard that he was big enough to fight. Dempsey was a laugh at. the start, and how many of the smart bovs thought. Turinev would ever be the champion of the world? It Isn’t alwavs wise to ridicule these voune heavyweights.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Preaa Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 23—Equipoise, America’s turf champion of all ages, faced one of the most trying tests of his career today to keep his undefeated record intact in the $20,000 added Arlington Handicap. C. V. Whitney's 4-year-old thoroughbred was assigned the top-heavy load of 134 pounds, the most he ever has been asked to carry in any race, for the mile and a quarter handicap which pitted him against one of the most formidable fields of the year. A crowd of 25,000 was expected to gather at Arlington park to see Equipoise attempt to outfoot Morton L. Schwartz’s Gusto, winner of the American Derby and Arlington Classic, Mrs. John Hay Whitney’s Stepenfetchit and six others.

100,000 Daily Attendance Expected at Olympic Games

BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Tress Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES. July 23.—A sports minded city if ever there was one, Los Angeles started today upon a week of pre-battle exhilaration preparing for the opening of the 1932 Olympic games. Athletes of many countries filled Olympic village, swarmed over the practice fields, courses and tracks an!! flooded amusement places. And where there were no athletes there were officials, fans or Just interested citizens.

Despite the fact he is carrying seventeen pounds more than any other entry, Equipoise was 3 to 5 favorite in the morning line to score his eighth straight triumph of the 1932 season. Defeated Gusto Two weeks ago Equipoise carried 126 pounds over the mile and a quarter and beat Gusto by four lengths in the Arlington Gold cup. Five days before that he carried 129 pounds and won a mile race handily, and in his first start in the west he carried 128 pounds and set a world’s record of 1:34 2-5 for the mile. Thus far weight, distance and competition all have been one and the same to this super-horse. Gusto, provided he starts, and Stepenfetchit were expected to provide Equipoise most of the competition. Gusto drew 116 pounds. Stepenfetchit’s impost was 108, twenty-six pounds less than Equipoise’s package. Max Hirsch, trainer of Gusto, indicated he might not start the colt if the track was lightning fast. Coucci on “Step” Stepenfetchit’s stock was improved by the fact that Mrs. John Hay Whitney exercised her claim on Silvio Coucci, spectacular apprentice jockey, who rode Gusto to victory in the American Derby and Arlington classic. Gusto and Stepenfetchit each were quoted 8 to 1 in the morning line, making them joint second choice to Equipoise, which will be ridden by Sonny Workman. The other entries and probable odds follow: Tred Avon, 12 to 1; Pittsburgher, 20 to 1; White Clover 11, 10 to 1; Plucky Play, 20 to 1; Risque,-25 to 1, and Dr. Freeland, 50 to 1. Tred Avon, S. W. Labrot’s filly, which ran second to Equipoise in the Stars and Stripes handicap, and White Clover 11, a 6-year-old horse from France, which won the Suburban Handicap in the east recently, were considered Equipoise’s most dangerous contenders of the older horses.
