Thirty-two boys who know how to punch and how to take one the pluckiest kids in eight states are away up there near the top of the world this morning. 14.567 CHEER FIGHTERS ALONG GOLDEN GLOVES TITLE TRAIL They fought their way Into the semi-finals of Thb Tribune's Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions be BY HARVEY WOODRUFF. Chicago Tribune Press Service. Miami, Feb. 28.

Kain of an intensity matching the blizzards raging through the north caused postponement until tomorrow night of the Camera- Lou ra heavyweight championship battle. Such was the downpour that announcement was made at 10 o'clock this morning. Government forecast for the next 24 hours is continuing winds, which usually bring showers, and probably rain tonight. Jimmy Johnson, optimistic representative of Madison Square Garden, issued a weather report of his own. It was fair and warmer." Jimmy, however, has lost some reputation as a weather oracle after this same forecast for the last three days.

The three day meet drew a total attendance of more than 32,000, evidence that interest in Golden Gloves is increasing each year.

These 32 warriors will return to the Stadium ring on the night of March 9 when the championships will be decided and Chicago's team picked for the intercity clash against New York. The Cleveland Plain Dealer team went well out into the lead for the out of town team trophy honors. Six of the eight Cleveland boxers fought on toward the championship round. The Cleveland rooters were not particularly happy, however, for the pride of their team, Ray Sharkey, was beaten by Al NetUow of Detroit. Goldstein, Caserio Win.

To offset the Cleveland challenge Chicago qualified eight hard punching and rip snorting color bearers. Most of them represented the Catholic Youth organization, although Trafton's gymnasium also held a strong regular squad, to which they had been assigned. It is suggested that the riotous trio is preparing to laugh and laugh at the physical anguish the regulars will suffer trying to catch up with them after their arrival Saturday morning.

Several Philadelphia sports writers, fanning at press headquarters, tried to find a parallel between this bout and that between John L. Sullivan and Jim Corbett at New Orleans in 1892. Then, as now, it was a champion against a master boxer, with the odds about 4 to 1 favoring strength over skill. It'ft tHaTerent Now. That about ends the similarity, how-W- Sullivan then was nearly 14 ars old, undoubtedly past his peak.

dEe was not so much defeated by Cor-jttt as beaten by his own efforts in chasing the elusive upstart from San Francisco. Sullivan succumbed, exhausted more than knocked out, in 21 rounds. In the present bout Loughran Is the veteran. He is 31 years old, against Camera's 26. He has far more experience than had Corbett, but certainly not more confidence, than the leave it was prepared for an elaborate recep- wait until March 17 to get in competition with Cub pitchers.

And since baseball competition can't be arranged before St. Patrick's day, Jimmy this afternoon joined with Al Simmons, his White. Sox teammate, in challenging Charl Root and Pat Ma-lone for a golf match. Root accepted tlon of such athletes as will accompany him this evening on the Journey to the Catahna island training camp. Charley's socfal affair was almost a total flop.

Only one athlete showed up to prove he was ready for the leap to the west coast. The individual was Benny Tate, former American league catcher, who fell into the Cub ranks during one of the many winter transactions. Two notables Grimm expected to All the first squad pitchers speeded up considerably today, with several specializing on curve balls more extensively than they dared in the first two workouts. Manager Fonseca today gave special attention to Whit Wyatt and Phil Galllvan in attempting to get them to get the Jerkiness out of their deliveries. Fonseca is going to Insist that all his pitchers follow through with a sweeping motion.

He contends that much of Ted Lyons' misfortune last year was caused when he developed a hitch in the challenge with the provision that he his delivery. Ted, always a great hand for Chicago team trophy honors with its two qualifiers, who are Irving Goldstein and Fred Caserifo. Goldstein reached the semi-finals in the featherweight division. Caserio fought with his old time skill and whipped Michael de Kovic of the Opal A. also of Chicago, in the middleweight class.

Caserio's short right to the chin floored De Kovic for an eight count In the first round. He outboxed his foe from then until the finish. Max Marek, fighting unattached from Notre Dame, scored the most sensational victory of the quarter final battles when he knocked out John Logan, Catholic Youth Organization heavyweight champion. In the second round. Marek, who was the Chicago student of form, wouldn't believe he JIMMY DVKKS.

After this argument had waged for some time one of the debaters asked the Philadelphian who had precipitated the discussion if he had picked his fellow townsman to win. "Well, no," baj'amswered. The dope is the other way, but I still think Tommy has a great chance." The Italian may not be a great fighter, although the impression is growing that he will become one, but be is better now than at any previous appearance in this country.

Logan went down and stayed there for the full count. Cleveland's closest rivals for the out of town honors are Detroit and Peoria. The Free Press team from Detroit sent four battlers into the semi-final round.

Three members of Peoria's team Keith Graves, Fred Tyus, and Aaron Wade also reached the same goal. The Grand Rapids Press qualified two battlers for the semi-final round.
