Emanuel Back in the Ring Armand Emanuel, San Francisco lawyer and heavyweight fighter, made a return to the squared circle the other night in Los Angeles and won a ten round decision oyer the Boston fat boy Jimmy Maloneyi in a ten round go.

Kiirzrock Wins Tennis Tilt—Davis Cup Team Picked
Dr. Lawrence Kurzrock repeated his victory of last year by again winning the Greater New York Tennis Tournament, annual affair held in that city each spring. The Doc, had a comparatively easy time of it this year, winning in the final round from Percy Kynaston 7-5, 6-2, 7-5. Although Kurzrock is not. one of the first ten ranking players, he is at any rate the best Jewish southpaw in the game.
Jackie Fields Loses Welterweight •Crown
Jackie Fields, first and only Jew to hold the world's championship welter-weiglit crown was deposed by the colored fighter. Jack Thompson, in one of the most startling upsets of modern ,ring history. Jackie, after having defeated the negro on three previous • .occasions, went into the ring an over-whelming favorite and to the amazement of everyone was decisively defeated in a fifteen round bout.
Although Jackie lost the crown I don't for a minute think that he is through   as   a   champion.   He's too young, (21) and has plenty of confidence. . It's my hunch  that  he lost through over-confidence.. Having won three times I don't suppose he respect-: ed his opponent's powers.   The dope-seems to be that the Idovs will meet-again and I would advise the betting"
people among you to get a bet on the Jewish boy,
Jackie's lost crown may cost him a nice purse. The scheduled fight between Jackie and McLarnin for this summer may now be called off.
