¶ Tommy Loughran, limber, cautious, dexterous Philadelphia heavyweight: a ten-round fight with Ernie Schaaf, pale protege of Jack Sharkey. Two years ago Sharkey knocked out Loughran. Last week Sharkey said: "If Loughran beats Schaaf, I'll fight him again."

¶ George H. ("Pete") Bostwick, famed young poloist and gentleman jockey: the Byers Cup golf tournament at Aiken, S. C. C. Grinning, feline Jean Borotra; Tilden-esque Francis Shields; curly-haired Clif- ford Sutter; stumble-footed Berkeley Bell: their easy first-round tennis matches in the National Indoor Singles Championships; in Manhattan.

¶ Willie Macfarlane and Wiffy Cox: $5,000, the prize for a four-ball team golf tournament at Miami. In a play-off against Johnny Farrell and Gene Sarazen, Macfarlane played the first nine holes in 30, six under par, sinking five first putts. Lanky, hatchet-faced Scot Macfarlane distinguished himself once before in a playoff, when he beat Bobby Jones for the 1925 Open.

¶ France: The first soccer game played against a German team since the War; at Colombes Stadium, Paris, when a German player inadvertently kicked into his own net the only goal of the day. C. Alike, untouted racehorse owned by Richard K. Mellon (nephew): by five lengths, a four-mile steeplechase at Hurst Park, England, from an impressive field of other entries in next week's Grand National at Aintree.
