THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26, 1941. BOXING SECTION, 2 SPORTS He'd Like to Help With Army Boxing Latest Thing In Pro Tennis Expeditions to Start Tonight That's Jimmy Bronson, Wlio Bossed The Sport for A.E.F. In World War I By GAYLE TALBOT, Wide World Sports Writer, New York, Dec. 25. The same round-faced, bow-tied Jimmy Bronson who conducted boxing for the A.E.F.

in France after the first World War, is hoping "so hard he can scarcely breathe" that the Army will ask him to help again. Jimmy not as young as he was a IpSt- La 'pd v. i t' i I tr vjSOvi I i i i xLV2 i i New York, Dec. 24 (UP) Something new in professional tennis will be introduced to the public tomorrow night when a pair of the game's hardy perennials engage the two' top-ranking amateurs of 1941 in the opening matches of a cross-country barnstorming tour which ill be operated on a strict "winner picks up the most marbles" basis. The participants in the tour managed by young Alexis Thompson, the Pittsburgh playboy who owns the Philadelphia Eagle football team, include Fred Perry, former world amateur champ and present pro king; Don Budge, also an ex-amateur bigzie; and Bobby Riggs and Frank Kovacs, the pi amor boys of the white flannel and crumpet set curing the past year.

SMART PLAYER Perry, perhaps the smartest tennis player to emerge from the ranks in the past 20 yesrs, will oppose Rices in the first match on the program at Madison Square Garden while Budge, who has had his face lifted since he last appeared on the courts in the line of duty, will tackle the gangling Kovacs. A doubles match may be played as a crowd For once the boys have been given an incentive t- keep the tour from languishing into one of those you win this and I'll take the next" acts so familiar to the wrestling patrons. This time the players must collect more than Just press clippings because they will be paid for the number of matches they win instead of the number of autographs they pass out. When the junket finally ends some two months hence the man who finishes with the greatest number of triumphs will collect 36 per cent of the net profits, or a minimum of $36,000 since Thompson has guaranteed a jackpot of at least $100,000. The others, in order of finish, will receive 28, 21 and 15 per cent slices of the total.

ROTATION MEET The four players have signed to perform In a rotating tournament, in other words a round-robin in which each man will face each of the others in order. After 10 matches, the players will be ranked and from then on it will be a free style fight for the top of the ladder. Riggs and Kovacs additionally drew large bonuses for foregoing their amateur status. The pros will stop in Louisville for a match at the Jejjeraon County Armory sometime in January. Most of the side-court observers believe that the lower half of the bracket will be filled by Riggs and Kovacs, who haven't proven themselves as thoroughly grounded as their two older rivals.

Perry is the favorite to win the biggest chunk of the purse with Budge a strong choice to finish second. Kovacs is unanimous choice for FUEDS BREW All the usual histrionics have been unleashed by the press agents. Kovacs' reputation as a clown is being carefully nurtured and Perry is supposed to have uttered many insulting remarks about the Oakland cut-ups zany antics. Similarly, a feud Is hinted between Budge and Riggs. I on July 4, 1919, when he lifted Bob Martin's glove in a ring outside Paris and proclaimed the big West Virginian heavyweight champion of the inter-allied boxing meet, but he still looks spry enough to box a couple of fast rounds and his love of the sport has never wavered.

"There's nothing In the world I would like more than to be appointed boxing director again." he says earnestly. "I wouldn't care whether they gave me a commission or not, just so I could get around to the army camps and co-ordinate the game. FIRST WOMEN "Perhaps some will think I'm exaggerating the importance of boxing in a big civilia army. I can only point out that 640,000 more spectators saw the boxing Wlri World rholoa. Jimmy Bronson, who conducted boxing for the A.E.F.

in France after the first World War, pictured in hi New York office with mementoes of those days. He holds a photograph of Boh Martin whom on July 4, 1919, he proclaimed heavyweight champion of the Inter-Allied Boxing Meet while he glances at the French official citation given him neurly 20 years after he wound up his duties in France. opposed boxing when they went to France came back confirmed fight fans. That is why you see gymnasiums in most of the big churches that have been built since those days." Jimmy came home as manager of Bob Martin, intending to steer the soldier champ into a title battle witlv Jack DempNcy. "And I'll still say Ukis much." Bronson declared, gazing at an autographed picture of Martin above his desk.

"If Bob had ever hit Dempsey on the jaw with a right like Gene Tunney did at Philadelphia in the first round, they would have carried Dempsey out fect first. I believe he hit harder with his right than any man who ever lived. His left, though, was just something to hold his hat with." Martin couldn't lick the good ones like Bill Brennan and others. He contracted an obsession for fast, red motor cars and bought seven of them in one year, Bronson recalls. Finally he drove one of them into a ditch and received injuries that closed his boxing career.

DOES WELL, Jimmy has done all right. The big money has evaded him, but he has rocked along as manager of fighters and, for the last couple of years as promoter at one of the smaller local arenas. He bears the reputation In boxing circles not only of being honest to a fault, but also of harboring ethics. The biggest mistake Jim ever made was in choosing to manage Martin instead of Gene Tunney, whom he might Just as easily have snared. Gophers Grid Kings Over 6-Year Span Joe's Glad Buddy 533.

With a far-away look, Bronson recalls the night in Paris when he saw his first "nice" women at a fight program. They were six American canteen workers, and he saw them sneak in and try to make themselves look small on a back row. He went back to welcome them, and before he could open his mouth they dared him to try to toss them out. CROWD GOES UP "Gee, I told them to come back and bring their friends with them," Jimmy laughs, "and before I left France I saw those six grow to a crowd of 20,000 women at one of my programs.

He fairly slaughtered his good friend John Henry Lewis in the first round of their fight, and when we asked him how he could do such things to a friend, instead of letting Lewis go a few rounds with him, he made a rather surprisingly humane answer, considering the gory circumstances. "I knocked him out quick," he said, "because he's my friend.

I didn't want him to stay around long, and get cut up." Which is a strange, but somehow reasonable, kind of chivalry. for the first time in six years, has a kind of hero worship for all of his opponents. As far as 567. Salem 568. Culver Stockton 22.5 989.
