“Hits F-fearless. Ocean Hop to Grand National Puts Strain on Writer's Courage
Boy 0-OSCAR F-FRALEY, U-United P-Press S-Sports W-Writer H-HIGH O-OVER T-THE A-ATLANTIC E-EN-TRAE TO L-LONDON, M-Mar. 18—T-too h-high! —N-never again will Old Fearless sneer at high jumpers who can clear only six feet. That's about five feet, 11 inches too, high.
Ah A-and for the information of any swimming enthus-
fasts in the gathering, I'd like to éxplain that water wings are practically impossible to purchase these days. Too darn many people apparently have learned how to swim. . I-it's a discouraging bit' of business in this area of the fourminute mile, the 15-foot pole vault, the 70-yard forward pass and the nine-second hundred that somebody | hasn't ‘built a nice fast “FRIFGAE Between New York and f.ondon. - ” » : » » » - T-THEY LURED me into this international broad jump with gaudy visions of the Grand National and a round of golf at St. Andrews. And every time Old Fearless thinks he has it tough, the consolation is the thought of what's going to happen to St. Andrews. If you haven't seen it yet, don’t bother. After Old Fearless shoots his usual sizzling 106, or so, it'll never be the same, (Those aren't sand traps, they're divots.) No-no visitor to England ever arrived (I hope) with a "stranger assortment of luggage. Old Fearless has his extra shirt, as usual, and his extra red bandana. To keep them from rattling around, there's a Grand National tip. sheet, a dozen needled golf balls—which assures me of going nine holes anyhow, and assorted packages of sifychnine and rat poison. T-THOSE lethal little packages are the result of telling your friends that you'll be at Aintree when they run the Grand NaYonah Everybody, and I mean everybody, in the continental United States has a sweepstakes ticket on the Grand National. They all came a’running, “Here,” they said, in side-of-the-mouth whispers. “I'll cable you when I draw my horse, You take care of the rest of them and we'll split.” ? H-how can I miss? Only one hayburner is safe. Monaveen, owned by the Queen and Princess Elizabeth. Being a romanticist of sorts, when it doesn’t interfere with finances, Old Fearless wouldn't molest Monaveen. Besides, Prince Philip looks like he'd pack a better wallop than Joe Louis.. Or Billy Conn, anyway. . . - ~ ” . I-IT IS to be hoped that my get-rich-quick friends don't take this for cowardice. After all, Old Fearless has been in the same ring with Joe Louis. Of course, the Bomber was sitting down and all I was doing was talking to him. But you can't ever tell When somebody's going to ring a bell. O-one thing a jaunt like this proves to you is the great advances made by medical science, You go for your inoculations and the doctors explain precisely how simple it is. “It won't hurt a bit.” Then you think you're caught between Gorgeous George and an amazon at a bargain counter. A few days later you find yourself in a Stratocruiser wondering who's holding you up and what's holding it up, and whether. your luck will hold up both ways. Y-you' get used to it after a while but you feel like it's fourth down and 10 to go with your team trailing by a mere 30 or 40 points when the pilot walks through and you notice he's got his Angers crossed. It’s sgmething like missing a three-inch putt. -B-but, as T said, you get used to it after a while. So-s0 if _you think. k Old Fearless is scared—p- -perish t- t-the | t-t- ~thought. :

NEW ‘YORK, Mar. 18 (UP) Ray Famechon’s sorry showing against Featherweight Champion Willie Pep probably will force the New York Boxing Commission to revive the custom of making every foreign fighter show his ability in a small club before be~ ing given a main event at Madi son Square Garden. Famechon of France tried te take the world title from Pep before 12,106 at the Garden last night, but he lost the unanimous 15-round decision by a
betting price. The crowd that paid $67,171 largest gate since the Interna= tional Boxing Club began promote ing at the Garden last May— hooted and jeered at the fighters in nearly every round. Looks Like Amatenr It was a fiasco for two reasons? Famechon, though champion of Europe, missed nine of every 10 punches he threw; and when he did force an opening, he rarely took advantage of it; and Pep, the world’s most brilliantly elus sive fighter, used his combination
spinning and counter-punching to make the French invader look like an amateur.
Famechon was nearly floored for the first time in his career of 61 professional fights by a left-right left in the sixth round. : Pep, 1243 pounds, suffered a gashed right brow in the 11th session when Famechon, grazed him with a long left.
