Les Showers (whose name sounds like the start of a weather forecast), formerly of Joplin and now of the far west, is here to visit his mother and other relatives, and likes the setup of the Golden Gloves boxing a here this month. And Les, who has prospered in amateur fight th'e last 20 years or so, knows the business. "That tourney," said the well- groomed Showers last night, ''probably will be the most i i for the spectator of any Joplin ever has held--and I've put on two or three here myself.

You will i --and I have had the experience-that the best tournaments are when novice boys or beginners dominate the cards. That, Karl Applegate tells me, is what he intends to do." There will be two classes here, the novice division for those who fcave had few if any boxing matches and an open class for those with experience. Since V-J day, many good and experienced fighters have returned ATid may want a little more action, such as Van Parks. Kusty Douthit and Marvin Eagle- to name just a few. "There are two or three angles to any fight," Showers said, "and you will find the bouts between accomplished and unaccomplished scrappers vary.

The experienced boys are careful, try to get i blows in where they do the best The novice tries to get in the most punches in the shortest time. Don't get me wrong on this, the beginner is just as fast, as strong and as anxious as the so- called veteran--and some of them might be a better fighter in the long run. But you will discover the beginners provide the best battles. I've seen them both in action--and give me a novice every time."

A final warning to "contract-jumping" players aimed particularly at those who have "jumped" to the young All-America Conference -was sounded today by the National League and virtually all the rest of the country's professional football moguls.

To make sure there can be no loopholes, the National League magnates reviewed and reaffirmed their law which automatically bars any "jumping" players for five years. And immediately an official of the Pacific Coast League said the rule would be recognized and followed by the three loops which joined the National last week in the newly organized National Association of Professional Football Leagues. These are, in addition to the coast circuit, the Dixie League and American Association.
