LASKY, the heavyweight boxer who lost to James J. Braddock in New York last night, is managed by his brother, Maurice. They put the bruised-ear business on a football scouting basis and carried it on in a big way. Before the Lasky Boys entered the picture prize fight scouting was limited to sending agents out to “look at the other guy perform.” The brothers Lasky improved on this by copying the college football scouts. They bought a moving picture outfit and sleuthed on the heels of Art’s future opponents. Brother Maurice went in for chalk talks and Art. the fighter, along with his trainer were the listeners. In other wjrds after a series of Arthur attended classes before going into Lis regular daily training rou’ine. The Brothers Lasky evidently forgot to scout Braddock. He had inactive and offered no opening for pictures. Anyway, his style is strictly punch. a m m

Indianapolis Wins Spirited Battle With Cleveland for Bowling Festival Next Year 587 National Pinmen Vote, 2-1, for Local Fairground Coliseum Site in Final Session at Syracuse; Event to Begin March 1 and Extend Through 6 Weeks. BY BERNARD HARMON Times Bowling Writer The partv of 400 Indianapolis bowlers and followers wes back in the city today, after obtaining the 1936 tournament for the Hoosier capital, foliowing'the bitterest fight yesterday in the history of the American Bowling Congress. The Hoosier tourney participants also were asured of a nice slice of the $97,000 prize moneys, for, during their three-day visit to the tournament city, several keglers cut loose with nifty scoring in the various events.
Yesterday’s gathering of 587 delegates was the biggest meeting ever held in the nation's bowlers, and, after this city had copped next vear’s affair, every delegate, along with a gallery of several hundred spectators, cheered for five minutes, parading around the hall much in the fashion of the windups of great political conventions. After considerable argument regarding a vote by ballot, a move was made that a standing vote be taken and, in the event of a close count,
Hussane, who scales around 215 and is said to be one of the most polished of the few remaining matmen in this country, will tackle Buck Weaver. 235. Chicago, in the opening tussle on the all-heavy-weight program. He is said to carry the same kind of punch that made his father a drawing card. The Houses-Weaver match will be fore one fall. Both bouts in the double windup will be for two falls ■ out of three. Jim McMillen, 225, Chicago, and Sol Slagel, 255, Topeka, Kan., will renew an old rivalry when they collide in one of the top encounters. When Slagel first appeared here he held Jim to a draw in a short match. Sol has a habit of knocking off title contenders and he figures his weight will give him the advantage over his Windy City foe. Paul Harper, 220, popular young Texan, is said to be all steamed up for his rematch with Billy Edw’ards, 215, the ’’chiropractic” grappler. Paul clamored for another crack at Edwards since their first meeting two weeks ago when Billy clamped on his pet "squeeze” and Harper was unable to continue. Harper believes he can "tame” the rough and tumble Edwards. AGGIES ARE FAVORED TO KEEP MAT TITLE By l nitt and Pres* BETHLEHEM. Pa., March 23.

that a secret ballot be used. But this was not necessary for the standing vote favored Indianapolis b ya majority of 2 to 1. All Officers Re-Elected President Augie Jankowski called the meeting to order at 1:30 p. m. and, following his introductory | speech, Frank Pasdeloup, A. B. C. i treasurer, presented a medal to the Rev. Francis J. Martin of Louisville, son of Col. Alf Martin, former president of the congress. The medal was given the priest in appreciation of the services rendered by his father, who died during the lest year. Amendments to the rules and bylaws of the congress were discussed, after which every officer of the group was unanimously re-elected for the coming year.

The 36 executive committeemen als£ were re-elected. Oppose Secret Ballot The Cleveland delegation, after it was announced that a secret ballot would be taken with all delegates using their credential cards before receiving their ballots, stormed the meeting, requesting that names and addresses of the voters be checked before their votes be accepted. For the next hour a bitter fight ensued with “ballot box stuffing” charges being hurled by the Ohio representatives. Otto Hoesterey. president of the Rochester (N. Y.) Bowling Association, arose and made a last-minute plea for the Indianapolis delegation, requesting that the voting proceed without further argument. President Jankowski stated that, in view of the fact that opposition to the secret ballot seemed to prevail, a standing vote would decide the winner. About 200 of the 587 assembled delegates stood when Cleveland was named, but when the Indianapolis vote was taken, it was all over but the shouting, and she iting is just what that huge gathering did. 3000 Teams Expected Preliminary arrangements for the staging of the event have already been started and it was announced by Walker W. Winslow, president of the Indianapolis Bowling Association, that the starting date probably would be March 1. Action will continue for at least six w’eeks thereafter, with 3000 teams competing.

Winslow ? played an active part. Seek Future Tourneys Following the choosing of officers, Mr. Janowski requested that cities seeking future tourne; s present their speakers. Several bidders for the 1937 affair were first to make their appeals, Atlantic City, Buffalo, N. Y.; Detroit, New' York, Philadelphia and St. Louis presenting speakers. Harry Feuser, an alley proprietor ip St. Louis, kept the gathering in an uproar as he presented the Mound City invitation. Art Germany of Buffalo and Howard McCullough of Detroit wound up their speeches with an appeal for Indianapolis in 1936 and drew a huge ovation from the Hoosier followers. Milwaukee asked for the 1938 meet, while Albany, N. Y„ put in a bid for the 1939 gathering.
which are expected to result in close finishes and probable new records. The entire program will come to a climax at 10:30 with the presentation of team and individual trophies.

Braddock stood today as a glorified contender in the topsy-turvy heavyweight throneroom aftpr his amazing conquest of highly touted Art Lasky last nigh L-a smashing upset victory that topped his nine-month march back from pugilism's boneyard.
The last of the great Irish heavyweights, who only a year ago was a longshoreman barely earning meat and potatoes for his wife and their kids after seven futile years of ring warfare, still heard the thunder of 11.000 frenzied voices pounding in his ears as he went gunning for a tilt with Max Schmel|ng. Nearly Knocks Out Foe Schmeling may meet plenty of trouble in the 28-year-old New Jersey scrapper whose pile-driving fists gave Lasky the worst beating of his five-year career, and wen the unanimous 15-round decision. Handicapped by age and weight, and a 3-to-l underdog in the betting, Braddock bashed and battered the Jewish Californian until the 10.143 paying customers wondered what kept him on his feet. The fans contributed $22,426 to see the bout, and they got their money’s worth because it was a brawl of the dockyard variety with plenty of slugging.

There were no knockdowns; but both were bleeding at the end —Lasky from his nose and a gash in his left brow, and Braddock from a ripped cheek. The bell saved Lasky in the sixth after he had been sent reeling by a barrage of smashing long-range rights and lefts to the head. In the 11th Art again was out on his feet, but Braddock was too tired then to put him away. falcons out of ice race CLEVELAND. March 23.
