Society irked Fiermonte after
short time. Without his wife's
knowledge, he sought a fight with
Smaxie Rosenbloom. Realizing his
advertising and bucks office value
Madison Square Garden was all set
to stage the show, but the New
York Boxing Commission said nix
It was one time when Bill Brown
and his colleagues were right.
This suited Mrs. Dick perfectly,
but made Miermonte all the hotter
for action. He put on the chill for
the 400, and went to Hollywood,
where he hooked up with the ubi-
quitous Gerans.
His ide*, th* boy* ellitn. Is to
show the society crowd that he ean

Fiermonte is a first-class draw-
ing card. He can do very well even
if he can’t fight—just going around
the country being bowled over.
Everybody wants to see the hand-
some creature who had spunk
enough to leave the drawing room

Frankie Frisch Has Not
Named His Starting
Pitcher as Yet
Knocked out by a moth-eaten,
trial horse in the fourth round of'
his ring comeback. Enzo Fier-
monte, itinerant husband of the
former Mrs. Madeline Force Astor
Dick, no doubt is a dejected young I
man.
But the Italian Adonis will not
chuck the cauliflowers and return
to his wealthy and socially impor-
tant wife, whose society he bolted
when the boys he likes best—the
fighters started calling him ''gig-
olo.”
"Thees wool not make me quect,"
said Fiermonte, following his re-
turn to the wars in Hollywood, in
which Les Kennedy, a tin-earned
Montanan with more fat around
his middle than an old-fashioned
bartender, put a lily in the good-
looking one's hand. "Eet was of no
consequence. I had not enough of
training — just two and a half
weeks. I'm going to keep on fight- !
ing."
It was quite unbelievable when
George Balke, the famous referee,
counted Fiermonte out before a
packed house which included many
filmland greats. It seemed that the
anejent Kennedy, who was suppos-
ed to know all the swans, jack-
knives, sod spreads, wa* plucked to
be just a sacrificial object for the
widely publicized spouse of Mrs
Astor Dick.
“What do they want me to do
with a guy who has been idle for
two years—pick Max Baer?” asked
Jack Kerans, managing Fiermonte
blandly.

AUSTIN, Oct. 2 (UP)—An ex
pected Notre Dame passing at-
tack today was occupying Uni-
versity of Texas gridders as they
prepared for Saturday's contest in
South Bend.
Coach Jack Chevigny sent his
men thru secret practice yester-
day and concentrated on pass de-
fense in a light scrimmage which
followed a hard tackling drill.
Texas coaches indicated that they
were unsatisfied with the showing
of their team in these two de-
partments against the Freshmen
Saturday.
Another secret scrimmage
scheduled for today.
DETROIT—Gcose Goslin has
an idea that Marvin Owen, Pete
Fox and Gerald Walker will fig-
ure prominently for the Detroit
club in the world series with the
St. Louis Cards.
“They are dead left field hit-
ters, and the barriers at Navin
Field and the St. Louis Park
are near enough for them to lift
home runs,” beams the slugging
flychaser, who pulls the ball to
right field.

HOUSTON, Oct. 2 (UP) —The
Rice Institute Owls prepared for
one more day of hard scrimmage
today and then planned to entrain
tomorrow for LaFayette, Ind.,
to pit their strength against No-

Saturday.
The Owls worked vigorously af-
ter the 9-to9 tie with Louisiana
State University here last Satur-
day and Coach Jimmy Kitts said
he believed the kinks and sore
spots were removed.
The Owls Saturday will call up-
on Bill Wallace and John Mc-

first world series game he has
ever seen . . . They take base-

the box office, fainted . . . The
cops bought his ticket for him
and then drove him home . . .

clerks were turning ’em away

The baseball writers have made
two unofficial agreements -
They promise not to call the
Tigers the Bengals, and not to
point out that “in a short series
such as this anything can hap-
pen and probably will".....
Nothing else is barred . . . Rail-
road men expect to send four
special trains from Detroit to
St. Louis after the second game
on Thursday . . . These will be
the two cpeclals for the Cards
and Tigers, one for baseball
writers and photographers, and
one an extra section of the reg-
ular 8:30 train ... A poll of

the Giants began their fatal
crack-up, showed the Tigers to

Working on several new plays,
the Henderson High Lions romp- •

day afternoon enjoying the first
real football weather of the 1934
season. Coaches Earl Adams and
C. C. Petsch are driving the Red
and Blue fairly hard this week in
preparation for the meeting Ffiday
with the strong Class B Timpson
eleven to be played at Fair Park
here.
The local mentors are stressing
blocking, tackling and pissing.
Coach Adams indicated that the
Lions would fill the air with foot-
balls this week as he hopes to
round out an overhead combina-
tion that will gain yardage
against the conference teams in
this district. In two games play-
ed the Red and Blue warrior*
have heaved a lot of leather and
have gained ground but the
coaches are not satisfied with the
game as yet. Petsch and Adams
are also spending considerable
time on a passing defense. In the-
Kilgore game last week, the Bull-
dogs completed several flat zona
aerials and the local mentors will
attempt to remedy this situation.
The Timpson eleven is unusually
strong and two weeks ago played
a strong Lufkin team to a close
contest. Their style of attack is
not known but Adams intends to
take no chances with them and
will start the first string. The
Lions will blast the lid on their
conference campaign Friday week
when they meet Palestine on tha
local grid.
