By Eddie Ash WHEN HENRY TAKES ON GARCIA

12 POUNDS MARGIN IN WEIGHT

ENRY ARMSTRONG of Los Angeles, the only man in boxing history to hold three titles at one time, will risk the welterweight championship on Nov. 2 in Madison Square Garden, New York, against Ceferino Garcia, the Filipino “Bolo” puncher. ni Armstrong will be under a heavy weight handicap when he faces Garcia. . . . Garcia is a big, strong fighter ~ who batiles close to the 147-pound limit. . . . Armstrong probably will scale at least 12 pounds less. The triple-crown champion was 13314 when he took the title from Barney Ross on May 31 and 134 when he won the lightweight crown from Ambers on Aug. 17. The Filipino is one of the hardest hitters in the ring. « « Moreover his upper-cutting style is doubly dangerous for Armstrong, who plunges and bobs and weaves. . . . Garcia’s Sunday punch is the “Bolo” uppercut which starts at his knees and whistles straight up to an opponent’s chin, . . . With this punch he came closer to knocking out Barney Ross than Armstrong did. Garcia lost the decision to Ross in the Carnival of Champions last September, but he had Barney tottering about the ring in the closing sessions.

ROFESSIONAL football prestige was stung by that decisive defeat in the Chicago All-Star game. . . . But the’ pros should worry. . « . They got yards of publicity and contributed to the grand show in a big way. . . . The veteran pros simply don’t round into good condition during the heat of August and their wind gives out.

Y ; Manager Grimes of the Brooklyn Dodgers used good judgment in turning thumbs down on Babe Ruth’s appeal to be placed on the active player list as a pinch hitter. The veteran home run swatter has been away from the pressure too long and his old legs are tired... .

Match Budge And Bromwich In Other Tilt

Series Begins in Philadblphia With Two Singles Contests; Doubles Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2 (U. PJ. —The ceremonial draw for Davis Cup opponents today matched Adrian Quist, top-ranking Australian tennis star, against Bobby Riggs, No. 2 man on the American team, in the opening battle of the challenge round tomorrow. On the 20-year-old shoulders of the Pacific Coast star will fall the task of opening defense of the international trophy at the Germantown Cricket Club, where the United States lost’ the cup to France in 19217. Red-haired Donald Budge will meet John Bromwich, ambidextrous invader, in the second match.

Aussie Doubles Unnamed

Budge and Mako will face an unnamed Aussie team in the doubles Sunday. The two final singles matches Monday will bring Budge against Quist while’ Riggs meets Bromwich. The draw was made by Holcombe Ward, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. Gene Mako, Budge’s doubles partner, and Joe Hunt, spare, are the other members of the American squad. Austria was expected to pair Quist and Bromwich in the doubles. The series opens with two singles matches tomorrow. Doubles will be played Sunday and tomorrow’s singles pairings will be reversed on Monday. The first to win three matches gets the cup. Both teams take final workouts today. The Americans all were in good condition although Budge still suffered from a slight head cold. Budge and Mako are the ve of the American team. i Australia last appeared in challenge round in 1936 when it 3-2 to Great Britain. It last won the cup in 1919 when it beat the British Isles, 4-1, but lost it the following year to the United States.

RIGGS, QUIST TO OP

By JOE WILLIAMS . Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—It will be something more than a mild sur-

prise if America does not kick the pants off Australia in the Davis Cup matches which begin tomorrow at the Germantown Cricket Club. For the benefit of the perpetually bewildered, it should be méntioned that the Germantown Cricket Club is where cricket is not played, just as the Polo Grounds’ is where polo is not played, and, in the light of recent melancholy developments, neither is baseball. * There are some optimistic souls who say America should make a clean sweep, winning all the singles matches as well as the doubles. It seems there is to be no competition in the triples or the home runs. Indeed, it seems there is to be no competition at all. Here and there' you find thin, brave voices of dissenters. Mr. George Lott, the repentant lost brother of tennis, who recently admitted in a magazine piece he was “probably the leading chiseler of his day among the amateurs,” gives the Aussies—and how would you like to be called an Aussie?—a good fighting chance. The No. 1 man of the American team is redheaded Donald Budge, whose dad used to drive a jaundry truck in the streets of Oakland, and who probably wouldn't know a lawford stroke from a sunstroke. The redhead stands out among the’amateurs, as they are hilariously called by a custom, like a hole-in-one on a golf duffer’s card. He is counted on to win both his singles matches, and with whatever aid the erratic ,Gene Mako can render, the doubles as well. This in itself would be enough to keep the

old soup bowl in - America. Meanwhile, there is Bobby Riggs who is generally admitted to be not only a fine player but the best young business man the amateurs have developed in years. It seems he majored in expense accounts. ‘Mr. Riggs is not to be ignored; indeed, it is practically impossible to ignore him. Mr. Riggs is the type who knows he’s good and admits it. The Aussies were on the Germantown Courts yesterday smacking the ball around. The traditional Britich influence must be pretty strong in

the Australian breed. They insist on

Thesz and Joe Savoldi drew here last Tuesday. Humberto is skilled in the wrestling business, but is on the “public enemy” list of most of the fans because of his rough tactics. He has been a consistent winner in local rings. The match is for two falls out of three. : Returning in a supporting encounter will be Rudy Stronberg, 220, Milwaukee German.

muddling through no matter what the ghastly consequences. Anyway, John Bromwich and Adrian Quist say they are ready, but fail to add for what. Tl : There is a.third member of the team but he seems to have come along just for the ride. His name is Leonard Schwartz. In all the official dispatches he is referred to briefly as a “spare.” How would you like to go through life known as a “spare?” Isn't it had enough to be known as an Aussie?

_ But getting back to Budge, he has a very special incentive for showing at his best in the Davis Cup matches, and the Nationals which are to follow next week at Forest Hills. He is still young enough to thrill to victory in major championships, and he is just matured enough to realize the dollar possibilities of the future.

Budge is in a spot where he can make $100,000, possibly: more, next year in professional tennis. That’s what Fred Perry, the Britisher made, his first year. And of course, Budge plans to turn pro, but first he must stand out in the Davis Cup matches and he can’t afford to slip in the Nationals. In brief, it’s up to Budge, by way of ‘protecting his economic future, to win every match from here out, if he’s going to be an extraordinary attraction in the pro game. This will put added pressure on him. And as I see it, this is the only chance the Aussies—they’ve got me doing it now—have of winning. If this pressure proves too nervously acute, Budge may crack and the team along with him.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (U. P)— Gene Sarazen, who has begun to find farming more profitable than golfing, today called for a tsar to enable professional golfers to

make a decent living. Walter Hagen is Sarazen’s choice for the job. Sarazen decried the small purses that are making more and more stay at home and go about their business of teaching instead of competing in the more prominent tournaments. His yelp against “the system that makes a professional golfer a mere puppet” was printed in this week’s issue of a popular magazine. “We should have a golfing tsar just as baseball does,” Sarazen said, “If a ballplayer has been pushed around he can always get an audience with Judge Landis. We should have some man in supreme charge of golf whom both players and club officials respect and whose fairness,

| judgment and honesty would be

above question. Such a man as Walter Hagen would be superb for the job.” Gene, who won the National Open twice, the P. G. A. title three times and the British Open once, said the only two men who ever made

He pointed out that total prize money of the nation’s three “blue ribbon” events—National, Metropolitan and Western Opens—was only $11,500 and that a golfer winning all: three would win the “magnificent sum of $2400,” which would net him about $1000 after paying all expenses of traveling to and playing in the tournaments.
