—From the bantamweights to the heavy* weights, the fight business is show* ing signs of new life. The heavies have been holding the headlines for the last few weeks, with the talk of a Jimmy Brad* dock-Joe Louis no-declalon* bout at Atlantic City; the hullabaloo over the final staling of Braddock to defend his crown against Max Schmeling, and Louis, quick knock* out of Eddie Simms. However, champions and contenders are keeping things moving In four other divisions. The middleweights are next on the program with Harry Balsamo, the “belting brakeman” who was considered a great title prospect until he was beaten by Babe Ris ko, meeting Brooklyn’s Solly Krte* ger at the Hippodrome tonight. A lot of the interest in the ban tams and featherweights comes from the ill-luck of champions Sixto Escobar and Lou Ambers in non title bouts. Escobar has been beaten twice in overweight bouts by the young Baltimore battler, Harry Jeffra and the next move seems to be for a title scrap between the two. Ambers also has dropped two non-title fights since he took the crown from Tony Cansonneri in September. One was to Eddie Cool, the other to Jimmy McLarnin, who says he wants to fight Barney Ross \ for the welterweight championship but in the meantime has been mak ing life miserable for the 136 pounders. Herkimer Lou next comes up against EnrlcW Venturi, one of two Italian lightweights who lock lie good title prospects, in another overnight affair. CLEVELAND INDIANS LICK THEJOLLEGE The Cleveland Indians, a recently organized basketball outfit took their first game with Boiling Springs junior college last night by a score of 66 to 39.

The Boiling Springs club present ed a smooth working outfit but were unable to cope with the superior brand of ball handling shown by the Indians. John Blanton, Jr., of Lattlmore proved the star performer for Boil ing Springs while George Stamey lead his team with his long range sharp shooting. Athletes At S. C. Must Study Some COLUMBIA, 8.
