1 GALENTO-LOUIS BOUT WANTED AND. 2 =» 8

JACOBS IS opr TO PLEASE.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Merch 2 (U. Pp) ~The veteran Billy Burke of Bellaire, Fla.,

, March 2.—We suppose we should strike a holy attitude toward the freshly made Galento-Louis fight and cry out in boxcar type, Stop this murder!” That’s what it threatens to be but if the customers want to see it who are we to lift a reproving set of tonsils?

A Nobody ever accused Mr. Mike Jacobs of being slap-happy

' and his decision to match Galento with Louis here yester: day was influenced by an individual survey which indicated very definitely there is solid public interest in the Jersey

fat man. In short, Mr. Jacobs has becothe convinced Galento is a salable commodity and that’s all he’s interested in. Selling is his business and 411 that ever concerns him is whether the public will buy. In this instance he’s made up his mind the public will, 2 os 2 o & ”

Wine he will present this delightful little throw-back from the jungles is, theoretically, still in doubt. We say thepretically because it will undoubtedly be in New York. It would be unfair to the World’s Fair visitors to hold it anywhere else. The boxing commissioners probably will go through their usual stuffy routine of exploring the artistic qualifications, if any, of Galento,

all the while hinting darkly at the inadvisability of inflicting such a

horror on the poeple, and, in the end of course, they will give it their . full blessing. Mr. Jacobs professed to be slightly disturbed about this today. “I suggested Galento to Phelan before I left New York,” said Mr. Jacobs, sand he turned seven different colors. Sweat broke out all over him and he shouted: ‘Don’t mention that fellow to me.’” f ss = = | 8 8 = E was referring to Gen. Phelan who, as chairman of the Boxing Commission, has contributed some priceless passages to the literature of the ring game. It has been our observation, however, that Mr. Jacobs usually gets what he wants) from the commission, so there is small reason to fear this will be an exception. Persorfally, we think the proper spot for the shambles is New Jersey, where the genius of Galento is properly appreciated. Over there he has more followers than a politician with a pension plan, We learn more about that every time we Weave an unflattering sentence about the great man. The next day’s mail contains everything but bombs. We have seen Galento perform on his home grounds several times when he stiffened his opponents with nothing more lethal than evil grimaces and the reaction of his fellow citizens ran the gamut from dreamy rapture to sheer hysteria. In one sense it seems ‘deplorable to destroy such a beautiful illusion, but since it is mostly the making of Galento’s own wdfshippers, who have been more than articulate in demanding ‘proof to the contrary, it is difficult even for a sympathizer to suggest g Tess catastrophic alternative. 2 ” 8 ” » » repeat, Mr. Jacobs’ ofily interest is in selling the thing anc. he has reason to remember the buying capacity of New Jersey ‘vith happiness. It was Jersey City that gave boxing its firs million-dollar gate, and Mr, Jacobs was associated with Tex Rickard in the promotion of same. This was the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. To be specific, it attracted 75,000 people who paid a total of $1,789,238. And come to think of it that fight was just about as ridiculous, if not more so, from the very beginning, than the Galento-Louis br awl threatens to he. At least Galento is a heavyweight. Carpentier was

2" little more than a middleweight-and he had reached such a stage of

mediocrity the promoters didn’t even dare let the public get a squint at him before the fight. That's why they had him train privaiely, sup= posedly perfecting a secret pussy # 8 = ” » » © Ae Mr. Rickard was so alimion the fight would prove a complete fiasco, and in the presence of such a tremendous crowd, he went to Dempsey’s dressing room and requested that the fighter carry. or take it easy with Carpentier for the first several rounds. Dempsey admits this today, and in his more theatrical moments, adds that it almost cost him the championship. Carpentier finally hit him with a right hand in the fourth round and Dempsey took a couple of “Yackward steps. This is the incident he refers to. The fact is Dempsey ‘was about as close to losing his championship in that fight as Niagara is to being dry.

Butler Takes Rough, Fast

Game From Notre Dame

By LEO DAUGHERTY Revenge is sweet, they say, and the longer the wait the sweeter for the avenger, the more bitter Zor the avenged. That’s why the Butler Bulldogs to4 day licked their chops with deep “ satisfaction, why George Keogan, Notre Dame basketball coach, last night excitedly chewed his cigar to the ash end and mumbled protestingly. The Bulldogs had beaten Notre Dame, 35 to 27—the first time in five years and the first time in 12 starts. The Bulldogs, as 7000 mixed cheers

* and boos, not only plucked the

‘?

Shamrocks, but in doing so climaxed a season in which they copped the Indiana Conference title and won 14 while dropping six.

Irish Get Out Early

» It was one of the roughest, yet

probably the .finest, performances offered at the Fieldhouse this season and undoubtedly the hardest game Butler had been in, win or lose.

Coach Keogan demanded the|g

floor a half hour before schedule game time to enable his Irish to

accustom themselves to the range.|Nea But they never did and that’s why|gnobel

they lost. He didn’t start his scoring ace, Ed Riska, féalizing that Butler was groomed for him. But after

Riska did enter the cast he went}

without a marker for the first time during this campaign. After a miserable passing exhi-

34 bition for a brief spell during the

early stages, the invaders began some fancy ball handling which was beautiful to lamp. They refused to shoot until the set play was climaxed with the shooter in advantageous position. But even then the pitches went everywhere but in the groove. Bulldogs Speed Up

Butler, in the starting minutes, didn’t come -down the floor so rapidly, but later speeded up and so did the Irish. This whirlwind kept up until close to the finish. The rough stuff started, too, but the Bulldogs demonstrated they were good at it if it was to be the vogue, even against the husky

Notre Dame concentrated considerably on pivots with the carrottopped Louis Oberbruner #kd Mark Ertel, 6 foot 4 and one-half, as the

. pitchers, but the close Butler guard-

ing spoiled the strategy. Butler frequently employed the same style with George Perry as the

‘anchored man, but it wasn’t the Bulldogs’ best stuff. They were bet- * ter at the long shots and from the

side. Geyer Does His Stuff

Bulldogs’ Eyes Keener

After all the smoke had cleared away, the only diagnosis that could be found was that Butler had a iittle bit more speed, a little more consistency in executing their plays, ability. to rough back and a keener eye

| Keogan was smarting to the point where he wouldn't admit that a slightly better team, at least on the occasion, had trimmed him. | “Surely, it was a nice garie to watch,” he |conceded, “but it was rough. I don’t mind losing games, but I don’t like to lose them when we get pushed and pulled around all night and the whistle doesn’t blow. Oh, well, guess it’s about time they beat us anyhow.” The summary: : : Butler (35) | Notre Dame (27) FG FT PF

Six Teams on

Six of the 16 basketball teams uled to see action tonight.

9 o'clock, respectively. Despite the siege of influenza that has hit Indianapolis and Marion County the last two weeks and left its mark on several of the quintets, most coaches will be able to present the same lineups that they have depended on during the season.

Manual Without Williams

Manual appears to be one notable exception to this. Norman Williams, first string guard, was sent home yesterday from school witn a recurrence of a recent atack of the flu and is not expected to see action in sectional play. Pickers are unable to jump on any one team and make it a top. heavy favorite but those who don’t mind going out on the limb figure the strongest limbs to be those occupied by Shortridge and = Southport. Decatur Central, on its season and County tournament showings, will not be without backers. Shortridge, although it has a green tournament squad, has a bunch of high scoring cagers that have stamped themselves as one of the better offensive teams in the state. Fred Krampe leads his crew with a season record of 167 points.

A Southport Potent

y Southport, possibly the most potential team in the tournament, has Schienbein and - Miller at center who have sparked their mates to victories over several big time opponents. They lost to Shortridge this season, 32-21. Then again the Cardinals have had slumps, such as the one when Cathedral reverserl the tables to trim them after having been swamped by the same Cardinals the week before. Decatur Central, the third choice, was a surprise package this year and is without a doubt worthy of better ranking than it tacked on itself by the type of competition it scheduled for the past season. Tech: and Manual stand out as dark horses. The former has had a dismal season record but has {shown in spots that it possibly is | capable of better things. | Manual, if it wishes, can put the biggest team on the floor of any in the tournament, and when hitting the Redskins are tough. Southport and Shortridge are in different brackets and the former appears to have the easier teams of the draw. Southport’s first game is with Tech and the winner of this tilt plays the Manual-Speedway winner Friday afternoon. On the other hand, for Shortridge to go through to the final game in the tournament it will possibly have to meet Washington and Decatur Central to get to Southport. This is figuring a bit far ahead, but that seems to be the logical pick. If this should be the case there], is some question as to whether the tough games will have aided or hindered the Blue Devils. Physically they might be at a disadvantage but mentally they should be at their best.
