Sezze "It's a funny case, thi3 boy-cott business. It's partly dyna-mite and partly out-and-out phony. The Non-Partisan Anti-Nazi League is strictly on the level in its scheme to ostracize and boycott the Brad-dock-Schmeling fight. It will do its damndest to wreck Herr Schmeling's. prospects in this country and it may succeed.

"From that point on," he continues, "we find the going a little muddy and the motives a shade impure. Mr. Joe Gould and Mr. James J. Braddock frankly do not care about the ethical and political aspects of the boycott.

They are just en-gaged in trying to figure out if this boycott gag is worth cashing in on." THE PLOT THICKENS From the standpoint of the boys the situation undoubtedly is viewed strictly from a cash angle as Brother Lardner intimates. There are two sequences of heavyweight fights available, involving Champion Jim Braddock, Challenger No. 1 Max Schmeling Heaven's Gift to the Box Office Joe Louis. Schmeling, on the evidence, is probably the best fighter, Louis the best drawing card and Braddock is a total loss and no insurance either way but he has the title. It is pretty generally admitted that boycott or no a Schmel-ing-Braddock fight wouldn't draw much money, as both fighters lack color.

Any fight with Louis in it will draw money lots of it. Does that make the situation clear? From the standpoint of Promoter-Manager-Ticket Speculator Mike Jacobs-w ho controls IiOUis the only thing of any Importance is the money involved and there's less money for him and for the boys who are in cahoots with him if Schmeling gets the first crack at Braddock than there would be if Schmeling is temporarily frozen out and the boycott scare is as good an excuse as any. MONEY TELLS TALE Suppose they proceed as promised by the Boxing Commission "and as would be the case if heavyweight championship boxing were a sport instead of a racket5 They'd draw about as follows: Schmeiln Schmeling Braddock. Louis 250.000 1.000.000 On the other hand if they use the boycott as an excuse for tossing Schmeling temporarily in the discard it'd work like this: Louis vi. Braddopk 500.000 Louis VS.

1.000.000 And don't think they wouldn't bring Schmeling over for a fight, boycott or no boycott. There was a boycott on the Schmeling-Louis non-title fight of last summer and it still drew plenty of potatoes. Give either one of them Mr. Brad-dock's heavyweight title and it'll pack 'em in, boycott or no boycott. FISTIC ARITHMETIC The second scheme, of course, is much better in every way from the standpoint of Mike Jacobs, Braddock and Louis.

Braddock will probably get only one fight anyhow and naturally he'd rather have the champion's cut of the $500,000 he'd draw with Louis than his percentage of half that sum he'd probably draw against Schmeling. Mike Jacobs would prefer the second scheme also for two reasons (1) the total gate of the two fights would be greater and, as promoter, his share would be larger, and (2) he is not only a promoter but he is Louis's real manager and if Louis gets two fights instead cf one, Mike gets two slices of Louis's purse instead of one. Simple, isn't it? GRIMM SIGNS AGAIN AS BOSS OF CUB NINE CHICAGO, Jan. 13.

i Poets Upset Lions, 27-25 Loyola Rally Falls Short in Thrilling Basketball Contest BY BOB RAY Staving off a wild Lion rally in the closing minutes, Coach Chief Newman's Whittier Col lege basketballers captured a 27-25 thriller from Loyola on the Pan-Pacific Auditorium court. The Poets, with Lester, Hutchi son and Wilson leading an at tack that continually seeped through the Loyola defense for set-up shots, jumped off to a 6-1 lead at the start and were never headed, although it was a spine-tingling finish as the Lions threatened to tie it up during most of the final four minutes of Play. LION'S OFF Coach Jimmy Needles's Loyola five was badly off form in its shooting, lanky Vide Kriste miss ing at least five easy baskets in the first half, the end of which found the Lions trailing, 16-13. Kriste did better on pivot shots in the second half and tied with Scotty McDonald, his team-mate, and Lester of Whittier for scor ing honors with 10 points each. The officials let the boys mix it freely and during one wild scrimmage in the final minute of play no less than five players came sliding out of the pile-up on their backs.

LIOXS IS RALLY With ten minutes to play Whittier had a 25-19 lead, but from then on the Lions came to life. While Wilson was scoring a field goal for the Poets, Zwank, Hove- land and McDonald came through with seven points for Loyola.

After the race, which Fight' On won by a neck from Mrs. Vera S. Bragg's Bottle Top over- heavy track, the Crosby box was a scene of mixed confusion. The crooning king had told his friends, including Dave Butler, that Khayyam had a good chanca in the third race, that Fight On was only qualifying, to lay ofiC of him. But somebody forgot to in form Fight On that he was just in for the airing, and the son of Mars overhauled A.

There are other dramatic chapters to the telling. Two years ago Crosby visited the Saratoga yearling sales and invested in some prospective running material.

None of the half-dozen or so youngsters he purchased were able to win at Santa Anita last season not un til Aunt Kitty broke the strange cycle and won a race the last week of the meeting. Last summer Crosby stayed home and played golf. But ht commissioned C. S. Howard, the automobile magnate of San Francisco, to pick up a yearling or two for him at Saratoga.

BOUGHT FOR $1000 One of these was a bay colt by Mars-Mollie a $1000 buy. It was this youngster which was turned over to Trainer Al-zert Johnson for Crosby, and as Fight On the good son of Mars sped home in :36 for the three furlongs to give Crosby's winning record a new twist.

13. (JP) Teddy Yarosz of Pittsburgh, former middleweight champion of the world, took a big step along the comeback trail tonight with a stirring ten-round victory over Solly Krieger of Brooklyn. Yarosz weighed 159 and Krieger 160. Tonight's bout in the New York Hippodrome attracted 5000 fans who paid $0247.35. The clash turned out to be a bruising battle between a superb boxer and a good rugged puncher, with the former champion'3 speed and ring cleverness offsetting Krieger's more effective clouting.

On the Associated Press score card Yarosz, making his firH New York appearance since losing the title to Risko two years ago, won seven of the ten rounds. Three went to Krieger.

Oakland fans generated the most indignation with the newspapers bearing the brunt of a bombardment of telephoned protests. A 40-cent bleacher rate has prevailed for games in this section.

2,) Mischief Time was fourth in Switching of Jockeys to Be Prohibited BV OSCAR OTIS Santa Anita's stewards have adopted a policy of insisting on consistecy in riders as well as in performance of horses, it was learned yesterday. Switching of riders, from an apprentice to an experienced veteran, or from a weak to a strong rider, will be prohibited. If an owner chooses to ride an apprentice, under ordinary circumstances, he must continue to ride him. The rule will be enforced like that regarding equipment, in which changes of blinkers, must have the sanction of the stewards. BANE OF TRACK Sudden switching of riders is the bane of most American race tracks.

An owner will race a horse, trying his best, mind you, but with an incompetent pilot aboard. Usually, the horse is beaten, although doing his best Then comes a day when said own er puts a money rider up, bets a chunk, and here comes the horse like Man O'War. Not that he didn't try in his other starts, the good rider merely avoided the mistakes of the apprentice. 'Santa Anita is no place for experiments," declared one of ficial, it is not a proving ground for riders. The public is not going to be a guinea pig for any owner or trainer.

Only by consistently riding one jockey on a given horse can the utmost in form be attained."

Faced with the Navy Department regulations that an officer who has been on shore duty for three years must be ordered to sea duty, the academy authori ties have been considering a suc cessor to Hamilton ever since Navy defeated Army in Philadelphia in November.
