SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

SPORTS GOERS packed the National Guard Armory last night and they got a good run for their money as the professional boxers and wrestlers did their chores for the benefit of the Infantile Paralysis Fund. . . . Paid attendance was 3109. Matchmaker and Promoter Llovd Carter of the Hercules A. C. put together evenly matched adversaries in both boxing and grappling and tock a bow for the crowd at the request of Harry Geisel, American League umpire who served as master of ceremonies. Later, the MC was bounced of his ringside chair as a grunt groan beef trust flopped over the ropes into the first ringside right the spot where Umpire Geisel was parked. he State Athletic Commission announced that the gross gate was $2693.70 and the net gate $2227.54 . The sum to be donated the Paralysis Fund is to be announced later. In the n go boxing contest, an eight-rounder between Lou m Indianapolis, and Red Bruce, Pittsburgh, heavyweights, was a difference of opinion between the judges and many of he . . Thomas got the unanimous decision of the judges ut part of the huge crowd booed until the rafters shook. It was the concensus of the ringsiders that Bruce's early lead him to no worse than a draw But it was an interesting heavyweights who are not classed as havmaker artists.

‘Orange Juice and Sunshine’— Boxing Evils?

The Signor Says Joe Louis Couldn’t Hit Jack Johnson

In 10 Years—We Wonder

Albertanti Is Veteran of 5000 Fights—Other Guys’ Fights; Likes '’Em Mean

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Francis Albertanti, the sparrowsized signor who achieved lasting notoriety as press attache

{to the late Tex Rickard, has come home from a four-year

exile in California and is shrilly denouncing orange juice and sunshine as evils preventing tough boys from growing up into mean prize fighters. 1 t' oS

The signor, a boxing fiend for 40 years and the only man ever ridden out of Miami on

a rail for refusing to shed his overcoat, is bitterly indignant and believes the downfall of America’s fistic supremacy is imminent, Not once in his four years in California, he says, did he see two lads fight it out with beer bottles in an alley. “Frightful, isn’t it?” lamented the veteran of 5000 fights—other guys’ fights—as he pulled his coat around his 125-pound physique and puffed furiously at one of the 20 cigars he smokes every day. “California is as bad as Florida. The poor Kids # don't have a chance. Most of them | never have seen brass knucks or bricks bats in their whole lives,

“1 Break Out” | “They just swim, or run with footballs. They sit in the sun and drink orange juice. I try to stuff and break out with hives. I sit in the sun 20 minutes and I'm redder than a pair of Lana Turner's slacks. | But the kids like it. They grow up saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ when they should be learning to swear properly, or hanging around pool halls.” The signor, it may be explained, |§ was brought up right.
