California's official champion. They clash at the Olympic Tuesday night, On February 28, 1928, Paulino fought George Godfrey at Wrigley Field a crowd of 40,000. persons.

Referee George Blake gave the decision to Godfrey. Many believed the Basque heavyweight really earned the victory, however. Kennedy was recently sanctioned by the California ring body as the official king of the State heavyweights.

The Twndnn-Kennedy fight tu the proportions of a championship match so far as the West is concerned. Kennedy was recently sanctioned by the California commission as the heavyweight champion of this State.

FIELD CLEAR His great fight in defeating Max Baer last year, the expert job he turned in defeating Dynamite Jack-on fcnd his kayo of Al Morro, who whipped Armand Emanuel, left the western field clear. Kennedy has put every ounce of strategy he could command into his training. Jim Jeffries took Kennedy out to his ranch In Burbank and gave California's champion a ten-day course in proper conditioning and schooling. Jeff only did that for one other boxer. That was Morro, whom he brought on so fast that he beat Emanuel his second professional fight Uzcudun fought here three years ago last month.

He drew the record gate up to that time of $125,000 which 40.000 people paid to see him hold the giant George Godfrey to a standstill. Godfrey was given George Blake's decision. Many others thought "Uzcudun whipped tne Black Shadow. OUTDOOR BOUT Promoter Doyle at first figured he would put the Spaniard and the California champion outdoors in Wrigley Field, If he had had Dempsey signed as the referee he probably would have gone through at the ball park. Many times Doyle bring Paulino back to California.

But there was no outstanding California heavyweight for an opponent. Six months ago Kennedy began showing championship caliber. The promoter is making a great show better by putting Steve Hamas, young slugger who has cored seven' straight sensational knockouts here, into the firing pit VJ The four surviving City League soccer teams in the race for the coveted California football championship tangle today at Loyola Field 1 MALLET STAiRS GALLOP TpDAV Argentines and MtVttV Mix in Midwinter, tfjfsh Initial Game of New, Trophy PlayonTapHert Polo Tournament Sponsored by Carleton Bujhe BY FRANK ROCHE Having revamped their Uine-up 'to what they believe will proj've to best advantage, Argentina's 1031 edition of the Galloping vauchos will make an attempt to take a hold on the Mldwick midwinter Invitational polo trophy this afternoon.

Mever is well known locally in spite of the fact that he has never raced here. He first skyrocketed into fame back In 1928 when he came from apparently -where to cross the finish line the winner in the 5 0 0 mile classic at Indianapolis. Retu 1 here that year, a er winning the yen ampionshlp he was besieged with offers for ap FRANCIS GUI KIM pearances on southwestern tracks but declined all invitations. In 1929 he again annexed the title while last year he wound up the season among the ranking pilots of the nation. Because he showed no desire to race here, It was believed that Myer could not drive on a dirt track.

This impression was knocked into a cocked hat last Sunday, however, when the ex-champion intro- fj Mil St. 5 The Hamas-Barlow fight is set for the eight-round semi-wind-up with Billy Papke, and Frank Row-sey meeting in a rematch for the six-round special event. Uzcudun looks better to the scouts here now than he did three years ago. He hasn't changed in appearance, but he is smarter as a ringman. The woodchopper employs a crouching, weaving style while Kennedy has always been a stand-up fighter.

However Kennedy's ten days of training at Jim Jeffries's ranch in Burbank may hav switched his stance a bit. JEFF'S FAVORITE Jeff, who saw Kennedy whip K. O. Christner, Max Baer, Dynamite Jackson and knock out his own fighter, Al Morro, took a great fancy to the lanky longshoreman from Long Beach. Kennedy pokes out his left hand from an upright position with his right cocked much like Jeff used to do from a crouch.

Since Uzcudun fought here in 1938 he has "blown off" his crew of foreign managers and a year ago went over to Billy Gibson. He was in bad physical shape at the time. His back had been injured and a broken elbow he. carried into the Max Schmeling fight had not healed properly. Under Gibson he made four fights in 1930.

He defeated Otto Von Porat in New York, lost to Johnny Rlsko in Detroit, knocked out Mau rice Grlselle in Paris and lost to Primo Camera in Barcelona. Lou Brix, who is here to handle the Basque for Gibson, claims an English referee whipped Paulino and not Camera. The referee wanted the Spaniard to stand up straight and box. Uzcudun is a 100 per cent club fighter. Uzcudun had a damaged elbow going into the Schmeling fight and the German beat a one-handed fighter, Brix claims.

"The Basque is in better shape now than at any time since he has been managed by Gibson," says Brix. "In the East the smart boxing men rate Paulino one-two with Jack Sharkey." The Hamas-Barlow semi-wind-up fight is a tcss-up. It has developed into the biggest betting match on the card. Hamas has knocked out everybody here. His opponents are among the younger and lesser recognized crop.

But his kayo is sensational. He looks like a young edition of Dempsey. Barlow is a young Irish prospect Gibson is bringing out. Ha has never been rushed. Along the Atlantic seaboard he has run up a string of kayoes against opponents not known here.

Rowsey whipped Papke a short time ago. Since then Papke has returned to his natural style. He begged for the rematch. battle outdoors, with a strong supporting card lined up for a tiUe battle. Promoter Daro, in signing Marshall for another chance at George, stated that the challenger was entitled to a return bout with the champion Just on the showing he made against the When George was trying to win the title from Gus Sonnenberg, George looked like the next champion to me the night those two met head on," Daro stated.

"Wiien I saw Marshall handle George Just like he would an ordinary wrestler, I was convinced Marshall would be the next world's champion. I got George his second bout with Sonnenberg, and George won the title." who believes he has another find. He has tutored Zuniga since he started as an amateur. Hollywood fight fans believe that Zuniga will go to the championship class in time, but he isn't rushing the boy into mismatches. Eddie Lloyd fights Bozo Kamish-er in the special event.

This is a rematch. Other four-round bouts will be Paul De Hate vs. Johnny De Mario, welterweights; Baby Pal vs. Salvador Macias, flyweights; Johnny Berto vs. Bill Jenkins, Junior welterweights.

Felix their -No. 1 should be well opportunities to supplied with score, while John Brandeis at back should be able to do a good job of "keeping the gate closed." Roach and Brunson were team-mates in lafit Sunday's UDlifters' victory over the Mldwick Juniors and are certain to prove a tower of strength in today match. Will Rogers, whose drought relief benefit game last Sunday attracted the largest crowd of the season. is out of the city this week-end but expects to be on hand for next Sunday's match which will also probably see Will Rogers, back in tne une-up.
