THE OLEAN EVENING TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 19SO. PACE THIRTEEN. English Writer Picks Primo As Eventual Heavy Champ Avers Scott Will Over Sharkey After Six Rounds Has' Seeri All Leading Boxers In Action On 1 BotH Continents. DAVIS J. WALSH International News Servlco Sports -Editor New 1 York, Feb.

Sharkey may win the heavyweight championship of the world in June but he will hold the title'no longer than the moment that he and the "beeg" bimbo, Primo Carnera, enter the same 'ring- on the 'same evening' and In the same prize fight. This, it seems, goes, too, for Max Schmeling; likewise for Phil Bcott. These are excellent chumps, to to they merely are minding the heavyweight championship while Primo is out town making Barnum look like a yokel. Trevor Wignall, the writer who probably knows more of the four men in question than any authority In America and Europe, arrived in New York today make this "assertion and others equally startling. For one thing, lie said he had taken 2 to 1 that Scott would beat Sharkey if Philip came up for the sixth round and that all England was figuring the same way.

For another, he declared that Carnera would keep the title until death did them part. "He's unbeatable," said the Englishman, "and being' that he is only twenty-two and Improving all the time, I believe he will stay that way. I say this because there never was another 'man like him and because I am assuming that there never will be another; His strength, his his punch, hi. 1 size combine to make him a man apart from all others. It's just no He la going to win the heavyweight championship and all Sharkeys.i Schmelings and Scots in the world can't alter the fact." Wignall has seen all the bis; fights in America during the last twelve years and knows Sharkey as Well as anybody.

He knows Scott so well that he admits Philip his way out of another tough' spot the night an'English referee called a foul on Ted Sand- wina. He-saw Schmeling rise from obscurity to eminence and he was" gating fixedly from a neutral Carnera and Stribllng had'their. two Brannigans in London and Paris. Was Stribling's knockdown of thev a real punch? It was so real, it seemed, that the sanie punch would have knocked Sharkey'and Scott stiffer than a tin roof. was terrific punch -that caught Carnera on the of the 'jaw and he fell so hard that I thought for a moment that the building was going with him," said Wignall.

"He got up after a short count, whereas you could have counted the calendar a'round over St. Bonaventure Cagers Leave On Final Road Trip A squad 'of seven St. Bonaventure basketball players, accompanied by Coach Mike Rellly and Manager Bernard Clinton, en- tteined Tuesday night for New- York City, where tonight, they will open their final major trip of tbo 1929-30 season. The Crescent Athletic Club, beaten but once this season, will be the opponents of the Bonnies tonight, the squad remaining over in Brooklyn until Thursday night when they meet St. Francis College.

Reilly is confident that his men will fare better on this second invasion of the East than it did on the last one, when they suffered the only three defeats of the season, losing on successive nights to St. John's, Temple and St. Thomas. The opposition on this final trip promises to be every bit as strong as that encountered on the disastrous jaunt of three weeks ago. The Crescents have been defeated hut once this season, the team turning: the trick being nons other than St.

John's of Brooklyn, conquerors of Bonas by a 49 to 24 count. The Brown and White have yet' to win from Holy Cross. The Crusaders feated the Reillymen in their two previous meetings by one and two point margins respectively. Sullivan and Riley and McNnlly, gnards, and Cannon, center, are the most probable choices to start most of the games. Utecht will see service at center and guard, and Connors will break into the alignment at forward.

FERN CARE Your ferns need spring tonics quite as much as you do. Try a little tea on them, keep the dirt loosened around them and consul your florist about some special fertilizer. any other man in the world. The punch didn't, even daze him. All it did was to make him mad and he was something fearsome to look upon'as he tore at Stribllng-like a wild man.

"No, No. There's not a bit of use arguing about, the thing. The man has everything and we might as well accept this fact now, as later. For he's going to be the big man in prize fighting for a long time." To which I feel prompted to add that, personally, I believe he will be around until some earnest person hits him robustly in the portico. The Prince'Of The Swat.

Compared to the first season's work of many great stars it is Is astounding. Very few performers have ever broken into tho big more' auspiciously.

Bucky Harrias's mastodonic first-baseman not'only played in 1 every game of the season and hit the ball for fine but he made 110 runs and 215 hits. Ty Cobb played four'seasons, three of them ns a regular, before he scored 100 runs and made t.wo hundred hits in the same Ruth has only done that threeltimes in his'career! that, Dale Alexander socked 25 home runs Sn his first major league season. Only. Simmons and-Foxx bettered tha'f'figure in the American League. 3abo' Ruth played aeaoons before he hit 25 or more homers (he hit 29 in 1938) and many critics who' know a ball player when they see one predict, that Dale Alexander will be the future Home Run King of baseball.

He's plenty big enough to give a' baseball a long ride, that's a Dale reminds some observers of Jess Willard at the time he Johnson a trimming. Alexander takes such a- terrific cut at the ball: and putn so much beef behind his swing that no 'man except.

The ring game occasionally has the defeated manager who comes to the front to insist that his boy was drugged, doped, duped or poisoned by the "ace-in-the-hole" boys. But here's a real poisoning story to a fight--which brought out the riot squads before it subsided. Back in the days when Jimmy Clabhy was in his prime among the middleweight. 1 he was matched with Sailor Ed Petrosky--another tough tar--for 20 rounds at Los Angeles. "Uncle Tom" McCarey and Al Greenwald promoted the show, with Harcy Burns as matchmaker.

Petrosky was taken to Los Angeles by "Moose" Taussig, who introduced boxing in Japan, and who still is activn in fight handling in California. He had Charlie McCuc hire a cottage and a cook for Petrosky's use. He was a good cook, handy around a fight camp. But there was one drawback--he came from Gary, where Clabby had made headquarters for some time. The boys worked hard to condition for those long fights.

And they tried to' dope all the angles. "Moose" kept his eyes on the made the food purchases himself. One night Taussig was aroused by groa.ns. He found Petrosky writhing in agony. "I feel like I'm 1 the sailor moaned.
