YORK, Dec. 15.—“1f you can't be a champion don’t be a prize fighter.” That was Jim Corbett’s sermon to adventurous youth. What he meant was that the grind is too wearing, the returns too meager for the also rans. Sound as this advice was, it didn’t cover the field entirely. Even the champions do not always reach the end of the road with their shields. Some of them soar to mingle with the Olympians, only to drop back to drudgery with flattened noses and flattened purses. Some time ago they picked Mickey \\ alker, the Toy Bulldog, out of the powdered resin and carried him to his corner, battered and bruised, a knockout victim at the hands oi young Paul Pirrone of Cleveland. To all practical purposes th.s marked the end of a buoyant and boisterous career that nad extended over fiiteen years; it marked the end of a fighting man who was goo l enougn to win two world championships, good enough to spot heavyweights 30 pounds and stand toe to toe with them. a a a a a a ALL the Toy Bulldog has left are his memories. The only reason he still keeps on try ing to fight is that he has hit upon no other substitute for money, frugality was never a part of his makeup. He was a gay and generous spender. And yet pernaps it isn’t wholly his fault that the wolf haunts his doorstep today. Wa.ker didn t throw’ all his money to the whistling winds. Once he had a savings account of $<;50.000. Thats more than the average prosperous citizen manages to put away in a lifetime. There was a family rift and when the barristers and judges got through the entire sum was transferred to the complaining witnesses. This was scarcely what you could call a good break lor Walker. From that point he started all over. But even then he w T as beginning to fade as a first-class fighting man, and the golden days of fabulous purses had gone. a a a a a a SO here was a prizefighter who was not only good enough to be a champion but twice a champion and still he winds up in the general vicinity of the eight ball. This was a disillusionment common to old-time champions. It doesn't happen often to the modern champion. Maybe the trouble was that Walker was an old-time champion at heart. He liked fighting, liked living. Certainly he will be ranked with the great middlew’eights of the game—great for his courage, his zest for action, his clean stamina. He was contemporaneous with some fine fighters, and he met them all, both in and cut of his class. I doubt that there ever were three better middle weights around at ’he same time than Walker, Harry Greb and 'Viger Flowers. Greb was much like Walker. He didn't take the business of fighting seriously until he got into the ring. Then he not only took it seriously but with a spirited abandon that marked him as the pure artist. Greb beat Wa.ker in a 15-rounder in 1925. It was a hard fight with each trying earnestly to pm the other's ears back. a * a a a a A FEW hours after the fight they were throw’n together in one of Broadway’s hot spots. Here they stayed for some time clinking steins. Along about dawn they started for their respective hotels. In some way they fell to discussing the fight. One word lead to several steaming paragraphs and presently the two young men. stripped to the waist, were fighting ihe fight all over under the arc lights. Walker started back in 1919. That was the year a pug-nosed giant with a soup bowl haircut cams* out of the West to flatten Jess Willard for the heavyweight championship. Meaning Dempsey, of course. Years later Dempsey was to be beaten for the first time as champion in the same city where Walker was knocked out. There would be nothing striking about the coincident if it weren’t for the fact that as Walker came along Dempsey grew to be his beau Ideal, so much so that he consciously patterned his style after the old Man Mauler. He had much of Dempsey's savagery’ and had he been a bigger man physically he might easily have been another Dempsey. a a a a a a MR. JACK KEARNS, the debonair handler of fighters, must have had some such idea himself, for when the split with Denmpsey came, he took charge of Walker and managed him for several years, maneuvering him finally into engagements with Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling, men who w’ere good enough to win the heavyweight title. 1 Wa’ker held Sharkey to a 15-round draw, but w’as stopped in eight rounds by Schmeling. There were some who said the fight with Sharkey was one of those things. And perhaps it was. Sharkey was such a notorious in-and-outer nobody was ever surprised when he made a great fljht or a terrible one. To a very definite extent this was a fortunate thing for Sharkey. Several suspicious looking flehts in w’hich he w r as a principal w r ere lightly dismissed on the ground that when he was good he was very good and when he was bad he was horrible.
OFF THF^BACKBDARD WELL, chief. Shortridge turned o>?r anew leaf last night and took unto itself a ball game. After secting out to no avail against Southport and Greenfield, the Blue Devils finally cleared the port at the North Side bucket booth with a 23-to-19 victory over Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs. |
mam Big Jack Stevenson was the gusty j wind that kept the Shortridge hoop sloop sailing on an even keel through a rough and stormy tussle. Stevie accounted for five field goals, and spread them out effectively. He tossed in one in the first quarter, two in the second, one in the third and one in the fourth. Jack was untouched as far as fouls were concerned during the entire melee. mam THE “spark plug" title for the locals goes to the husky guard, Jack Brown. Jack kept everybody, excepting perhaps Coach Peterman, all crossed up. What I mean is. he was erratic. He rammed through the whole Cub team to flash under for baskets that looked like they shouldn't have been made, and muffed several close-in and fancy attempts under the basket that looked like they should have been easy. But the two buckets he did sink came when the Blue needed them badly. He snatched the sphere under the noses of Tiger Cub dribblers a number of times and lost it just as often trying to dribble under the hoop himself.. a a a GARL drew the “sparky" honors for the Greencastle crew. The diminutive forward tallied only four points, as compared to Cox's six. but he turned in a sparkling defensive performance. Garl kept the local offense off balance most of the scrap by breaking up Blue Devil drives drives before they could get under way Coach Marion Crawley chose to hold B n e on the bench for a good part of the fray and the Cub star collected only one free toss. a a a Font* often win or lost ■ b-lt rame The B< borktttor* h’d thtir chant. ere* reeked last n'rht.

Affairs look black for both clubs as the encounter ran its course, but things were all Blue a few minutes before the finish tape was reached. a a a STEVENSON arched in a long shot from the side'to put the Blue Devils out in front in the first period. Cox connected on two charity throir, for the invaders, and Jack Brown made good a free toss for the Blue as the quarter ended giving the locals a 3-to-2 lead.

in the second quarter. Bee contribted his free toss, but Stevenson hooked in another tally to boom the score to 12-to-4. With two minutes left in the first half, Cartwright drove under to score Greencastle's first field goal. Cox added a field goal and a gift toss to close the gap to 12-to-7. and Hutcheson made it j 12-to-8 with a gratis toss as the period ended. HUTCHESON flashed under the basket soon after the second half started to draw the tally to 12-to-10. Cartwright, the dusky center. followed up with another field toss to knot the score. Garl pierced the hoop from the center of the floor for his first goal and Greencastle shot into the lead. 14-to-12 The Cubs garnered a free toss, but Stevenson hit again and Jack Brown drove under to give the Blue i a 16-to-15 edge at the threequarters post. ana THE visitors nabbed a 19-to-16 margin when Garland Cox hit the hoop in the final session. But the Cub scoring stopped there. Buckets by Stevenson and Brown rr-urned the Blue to a 20-to-19 edge with two minutes to go. Dawson tucked away the tussle with a shot from down under. Jack Brown added a foul for good measure, and away we*nt Bob Schultz' Shortridge band on the old school victory song. I repeat, chief, it’s the first scalp for the Blue Devils.

BUTLER CAGERS FACE INDIANA CENTRAL
City Hardwood Rivals on Edge for Encounter Bulldogs to Seek Revenge Over Greyhound Five in Fieldhouse Tonight. Butler and Indiana Central College will renew their city basketball rivalry in Butler fieldhouse tonight at 8:30 with the North Side school seeking revenge for a onepoint defeat in 1933. The feature of the clash will be the battle between Gene Demmary and Big Dave DeJernett, pivot men, who fought bitterly for an edge in their last meeting. \ DeJernett eppped the honors that time as his team came from behind to nose out the Bulldogs in the final minute. 32 |to 31. Asa result, Demmary, who jumps for Butler, is the big Negro's bitter rival. Tonight’s tilt probably will not be 1 an exclusive battle of centers, ali though the center ring undoubtedly will be the front-line trench. Other I coal snipers on the two teams are expected to have a part in the contest for intra-city college hardwood supremacy. Close Guarding Expected Led by Ralph Brafford, who last week accounted for 10 points in his varsity game as a regular, the other Butler men must be prepared to chalk up an additional number of baskets which ordinarily would be left up to Demmary. Demmary, although scoring 17 points in his opening game of the season against Earlham, is expected to be guarded closely by DeJernett tonight and may not be able to collect his regular share. Roscoe Batts, w’ho usually can be depended on for an occasional shot j from well out on the floor, has.been ofT form during recent practice, largely due to illness. He showed improvement in the final practice yesterday, however. Butler presents a heavy squad this year, averaging 185 pounds. Coniderable difficulty was encountered last year against strong competition because the squad was comparative|ly light. Other members of the first five, in addition to Demmary, Brafford and Batts, are Toy Jones and Scott Armstrong. Central Has Veteran Squad The Indiana Central team, with exception of DeJtrnett, lacks weight and depends partly on the big ceni ter’s rebound tips for their scoring opportunities. Coach Harry Good has practically the same squad which defeated Butler last year, although Quackenbush may be unable to play because of a knee injury. His position may be filled by Shaul or Dorton, with Harry Spurgeon, William Schaefer and John Byers, all veterans, completing the line-up.
California Negro Defeats Shucco By United Progs NEW YORK.

Shucco was down for two in the fourth. They battled furiously through the rest of ten rounds without either hitting the deck. Lewis, by superior punching and more expert boxir? took eight of the ten rounds. He weighed 174 pounds and Shucco. 179'a. Basketball News a a a Independent, Amateur and League Gossip.

Pitt Panthers on Revenge Trail <
‘MB* Jf - f 'TO JE^SSSgka^
Ted Roderick
Two University of Pittsburgh players who probably will be called upon to assist in the Panthers’ sniping against Butler in the fieldhouse here Monday night are Francis (Slim) Wainio, forward, and Ted Roderick, guard. Wainio, forward on the Pitt squad for two years, win several encounters by sinking baskets in the last-minute rush. He is six feet one inch tall. Although a reserve forward last year, Roderick has been moved up to a berth on Pitt's first five and is expected to be a valuable player this season. He and Wainio both won letters in the 1933-34 campaign. Butler has lost only once to the Panthers and last year defeated them, 35 to 24, on the local floor. The Bulldogs will meet Indiana Central in the fieldhouse at 8:30 tonight. >
Three Knockouts Feature Armory Boxing Program ‘Socking Soldier’ Wins Second One-Punch Victory; Thomas, Maggard Draw. ‘‘Just a lucky punch.” muttered Jimmy Walker a w’eek ago after recovering from a one-wallop knockout at the hands of jimmy Wilscn, the “socking soldier” from Ft.

A Dog*s Life By Leon F. Whitney 1 DISCUSSED yesterday the collection of pure-bred dogs which is being assembled at Yale University. • I said that not many of these dogs are as yet on display and mentioned that scientists found in them considerable interest. But what can the layman learn from them and what other purposes does the exhibit serve? Have you ever thought that if you were to undertake to learn what the breeds of
dogs, as we know then; today, looked like 500 years ago, it would be practica 11 y impossible. We do know that where art flourished even a thousand years ago that there were dogs which looked as our grey hounds look to day, and there were small
* ■ •
dogs, too. We know from some remains of dogs which are at Harvard University that the basket maker Indians in the Western part of America had dogs that appeared something like our farm shepherd dogs, had long hair and were similarly colored. • But try as one may, he can not find out much concerning the dog in the British Isies, where most of our modern breeds originated. Back of the printed word, there is practically no information to be found. And printing is a relatively new invention. So to my mind, tne most important fact about tht collection of dogs at Yale, is that some day a thousand years or more from now, people may come and look at these dogs which are being mounted today. and will then know what our breeds were like. They will have new breeds, different types, no doubt, but some of our kinds will go on and on. because they are so eminently well suited to the work that they were selected to do, just as the sight hounds have gone on in practically the same form they have possessed for so many hundreds of years that have preceded us. Dog breeders have erected many monuments to their skill and perseverance, and it is well that these works be perserved for posterity. Something about coat care tomorrow. Do you have a dog problem?

They tangled again last night at the Armory in one of the fourrounders of the “California style” card. Any doubt Walker or anyoody else entertained as to the soldier’s ability was removed just 40 seconds after the opening bell when Wilson let fly witn his “Big Bertha” right for the first time, caught Walker on the button again and left him cold on the canvas. Two punenes, two knockouts—and now the customers are asking to see Soldier Wilson up against some stiffer competition. Seven lively battles, three of them ending in knockouts, provided local fistic fans with some first-class entertainment on last night's card. Four Cincinnati clouters were on the program and came out with three victories and a draw. The eighth bout failed to go on when Stubby Stafford, scheduled to face Gene Junken, Shelbyville heavyweight, showed up at the Armory but refused to go on. Lou Thomas, hard-hitting local youngster, was held to a draw by Smokey > Maggard, Cincinnati veteran, in the top four. Both boys threw punches galore and there was little difference at the finish. It was action all the way. Billy Breedlove, local lightweight, stopped Tony Picciurro, Indianapolis, in the second round, but not until Tony had rocked him with some healthy wallops. Two of the best bouts on the program went to Cincinnati punchers, with Billy Budke, a hard-socking little southpaw, hammering out a decision over Paul Waggoner, local junior lightweight. Both traded punches freely, with Burke doing the most damage. Jimmy McMurtry, Cincinnati welter, battered Nick Nicholson, Shelbyville, to capture the edge in another good bout. Young Leach, local featherweight, dropped a close one to Jimmy Kreider, Cincinnati, and Faril Rettinger, Cincinnati junior lightweight, bumped off Roughhouse Blankenship, Indianapolis, in the second. Another small crowd attended last night’s card, second of a series intended to bring back the boxing game here. Another card is planned for next Friday by Lloyd Carter, Hercules A. C. matchmaker.

Dec. 15.—Pugilisms roll of great Negro fighters had an addition today—Joe Louis, Detrot youngster, who has punched his way to the front ranks of the heavyweight contenders in six months.

Lewis’ knockout victory over Ramage places him in a position to demand a match with Steve Hamas, Art Lasky, King Levinsky, Primo Camera, Max Schmeling or any of the other leading contenders. Ramage had not been knocked out since his first year of fighting until Louis turned the trick, and the California boy had met Hamas, Levinsky, Lasky and numerous other topnotch heavyweights. Ramage was ahead on points until just before the end. He outboxed Louis in the early rounds and piled up points with a left jab w’hich he flicked continually into the Negro’s face. Ramage’s inability to keep off the ropes started his downfall. Knockdown Turns Tide Louis caught him back against the ropes in the eight round and W’hipped over a vicious right cross which dropped Ramage for a count of nine.
