English Fighters9 Emulating Americans, Are Asking Bigger Purses JL — A-—-— ■■ .... —

PROMOTERS TELL AGAINST‘MUTINY’

Invasion of Jeff Dickson, Yank. Having Effect of

Tilting Purses.

BRITISH tin-ear chappies, in

open revolt against the chick- en-feed purses they get com-

pared with the sums reaped by American fighters, are putting the screws on promoters in London.

And the shrill cries of the promoters can be heard for miles. It is, they scream, mutiny.

The British promoters yowl that only those "crazy Americans" would pay gold-rush prices that enable pro- 1

moters on this side of the Atlantic to pass out fortunes to Joe Louis, Max Baer, Max Schmeling. Primo Camera j and others for a single scrap.

And with some justice, they point J out that England probably never will ! see a million-dollar gate because the cauliflower talent over there lacks the color of the "Brown Bomber.” the •'Livermore Larruper.” the "Black TJhlan" and the tumbling "Tall Tower of Gorgonzola"—as some of the sports j writers fondly have labeled Camera, j

There seems to be something in ! what the promoters say—not a little j because of what the figthers them- I selves say.

For example, the British heavy- weight champion, Jack Petersen, re- ceived an offer to defend his title against Len Harvey, and this is what Petersen told the scribes:

"I shall need time to make up my tnind. Other promoters have made offers which are quite good, and I Intend to give them all proper con-

sideration before making my choice.”

In the Vernacular.

pVEN Tunnev, in his Yale lecture J

days, probably would have shied at anything so high-falutin'. and the average American version would go something like this:

“Well, I gotta t'ink it over, see? Some uh dese other mugs is ready to lay it on the line—plenty! I gotta fink it over, see?"

Petersen's statement, sounding like G cross between a belted earl and an Oxford don. illustrates the lack of the very thing promoters over there be- moan—the hard-boiled ferocity that made black-jowled Jack Dempsey be- come known as the "Manassa Mauler" with a "killer's instinct.”

But however much the promoters may complain, they are coming around to fatter purses. The change in their attitude is partly due to the inroads of Jeff Dickson, the American-born ; European promoter, who operates out 1

of Paris. Dickson boggled his English competitors by offering 10.000 sterling

about $50,000) for a British heavy- weight title bout.

London promoters nearly fainted when they heard about it. but finally Syd Hulls, Wembley Stadium match- maker. stepped in and actually out- bid Dickson.

Pop Foster Goes Soft. "OOP FOSTER signed the contract

calling for a meeting between his j boy, Jimmy McLarnin, and Tony Can- | Eoneri, lightweight title holder. There's j nothing unusual about that, for fight- ing lightweights has been one of the 1 things McLarnin did with considerable j frequency and success in the past. The unusual feature is that Foster under- bid Barney Ross in seeking the match.

Imagine, if you can, an old ''Shy- lock” like Pop Foster suddenly going soft, and underbidding other man-

Ggers! All Barney Ross wanted was

a guarantee of $40,000. Why, that j was a mere pittance in the days when I Faster was wringing real money out of the promoters. Better watch your step, Mr. Canzoneri.

FLOOD FUND GETS

Gevinson Wins Main Fight as Amateurs Entertain

in Relief Show.

LOCAL fight fans contributed

more than $700 to the Red Cross’ flood relief fund last night when 1,500 at Turnci’s

Arena saw the best amateurs of this vicinity wage 11 boxing bouts that thrilled despite a lack of knockdowns.

Their attention centered mostly on

the Lou Ovinson-Johnny Rouston bout, in which the former solin-ly spanked the visitor from Richmond, who had given him a rlose battle in a previous bout. The all-around talents of the District's featherweight champion and the fast finish, in which he was throwing leather unmercifully, left him an easy winner.

Leonard Referees.

TN A bout refereed by Benny Leonard. A

former lightweight champion. Mike Morton got a unanimous decision over Whitey France after dropping him for a count of three in the first round. The Merrick Club fighter held the upper hand throughout.

Two of boxing's lightest, Danny and Charley Petro. 65 pounders, were de- clared equal by Referee Marty Gal- lagher. He called this bout for the “world's paperweight championship" a draw. It was one of the high lights of the evening.

Other winners were Vic Di Lisi of Washington Boys' Club. El Brookman of the Police Club. Hunter Crostic fiom Richmond, Buster Miller of the Washington Boys' Club, local bantam- weight champion; George Pickeral, Jimmy Koustenas of the Washington Boys' Club and George Cox.

20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

Frank Moran made a brave, but ineffectual, attempt to beat Jess Willard, the finish of their 10- round bout at Madison Square Garden finding Moran’s face a smear of blood, with Willard vir- tually unmarked. Willard claimed a finger broken in the second round prevented him from finish- ing his opponent.

Georgetown and Catholic Uni- versities had little difficulty in winning their opening base ball games of the season. Georgetown walloping Mount St. Joseph’s, 12-1, and C. U. trimming Gallau- det. 7-2. Lem Owens, a local boy, pitched splendily for the Hoyas, blanking the visitors without a hit before being relieved in the sixth inning.

The Nationals come back to Washington within the next three days and will play the Georgetown nine in the opening exhibition game of the local season.

TRADITION DOOMS GALLANT FOX GET

Three Due to Fail in Derby If Past Again Proves

True Criterion. By ihe Associated Press.

Louisville—Three sons of

Gallant Fox. himself a Derby winner, are entered in the 1936 Kentucky Derby. But if tra-

dition holds, they might as well stay- in the barn on May 2.

The reason is that offspring of the same sire never have won the big Churchill Downs fixture two years straight. Thus does last year's vic- tory of Omaha, another son of Gal- lant Fox, seem to blight the chances of Granville. Cavalero and Phantom | Fox—all by The Fox.

Horses there have been which sired more than one Derby winner. Virgil was the daddy of thre^—Vagrant, win- ner of the second Derby, in 1876: i

Hindoo, first under the wire in 1881, :

and Ben Ali. the 1886 winner. Zev. by The Finn, won in 1923. and

Flying Ebony, another of The Finn's progeny, was Derby champion in 1925 —and that's the closest approach of sons of one sire to consecutive vic- tories In the Derby. I

Close to 200,000 Turf Lovers Will Croivd Track at Aintree To See Grand National ’Chase

By tne Associaiea press.

ONDON, March 26.—Thousands of Londoners today began their annual exodus to Aintree, site of the Grand National Steeple-

chase to be raced tomorrow. Close to 200.000 turf lovers, and

many who ordinarily wouldn't cross

the street to see a horse race, but are

lured by the glamour of the Grand National, will be gathered tomorrow morning around the 41 --mile Aintree course.

Millions more throughout Great Britain and the rest of the world will

be neglecting their work while await- ing the first news of the result.

Most of those who have a bet down or a ticket in the sweepstakes—and it's estimated there are 8.000,000 bettors in England—are likely to be disap- pointed, for as often as not it's an out- sider that wins the gruelling race.

Golden Miller, Dorothy Paget's 1934

winner which dashed the hopes ol countless thousands last year by fall- ing just beyond Valentine's Brook, j again is the favorite. The Miller was

quoted at 4 to 1 In the last call-over, while Maj. Noel Furlong's Reynolds- town, 1935 winner, was quoted at 7 to 1.

Castle Irwell Liked.

favored entries, among the so wnich remained on the list to-

day, included Mrs. Violet Munday's

Avenger at 9 to 1; G. H Bostwick's Castle Irwell, 100 to 7; Lord Rose- berry's Keen Blade. 100 to 6; J. B. Snow’s Delaneige, 20 to 1; Lady Lind- say’s Blue Prince and G. Beeby's Blue Brienz, 33 to 1.

Castle Irwell, which will be ridden by his owner, Pete Bostwick, and Delaneige are the leading American- owned candidates. Double Crossed. Royal Ransom and Rod and Gun. all owned by J. H. Whitney, and Jesse Metcalf's Kiltoi are other American entries.

Fear Bostwick's Riding Form.

r^JASTLE IRWELL, which looked good until he tossed Bostwick

last year, is well liked, but the Eng- lish experts don't care so much for Bostwick's riding form. He leans far forward like a flat-race jockey, while a British steeplechaser sits back on the horse's flanks The experts fig- ure the wiry American millionaire is sure to hit the ground if his mount makes the slightest mistake.

Reynoldstown. reported to dislike hard turf and minus the rider who guided him to victory last year. Frank Furlong, has lost considerable sup- port while Avenger, winner of his last three races, hasn't proved his ability to go the long route of the Grand Na- tional. That leaves Golden Miller as first choice in the field and the general opinion is that any horse which can

beat Miss Paget's great jumper is sure

to win.
