The public is invited to attend and a real game is promised. o— — MAX SCHMELINC IS RELEASED By Frank (Jetty, UP Sports Editor New York, Aug. 9. — (U.R) — Max Schmeling, storm center of pugilism, has been turned loose by Madison Square Garden, the corporation which had planned to match him with Jack Sharkey for the heavywieght championship of *the world. Instead of Schmeling. the next opponent of the Lithuanian will be Tommy Ixmghran, present 175-pottnd titleholder. who will meet Sharkey in a 15-round bouts at Yankee stadium Sept. 26. The reason for the garden's action in abandoning Schmeling was that Max and his manager, Joe Jacobs, are flirting with an offer of $135,000 for the German to fight Jack Dempsey at Agua Caliente on Thanksgiving Day. W. K. Carey, vigorous, straightforward president of Madison Square Garden, was preparing, less than 24 hours ago. to ake the SharkeyS(hmeling fight, barred in New York state by the local boxing commission, to Detroit. Will Claim Title Spokane, Wash., Aug. 9 — (U.R) — Abandoned by Madison Square Garden. Joe Jacobs said today he would claim the heavyweight championship for Max Schmeling and probably would arrange with Jack Dempsey, .fqr a Mexican appearance for the German fighter. "Dempsey 'told me over long distance last night he would promote a fight at Agua Calientes, Mexico, next Thanksgiving Day," Jacobs said. ''Schmeling would be one of the principals unless Carey personally hand-i les a bout at Detroit." The possibility of W. F. Carey handling a Schmeling bout in Detroit for Madison Square Garden ended with Carey's announcement in New York that he had matched Jack Sharkey and Tommy Loughran for a bout at Yankee stadium next month. Jacobs' reference to the Detroit bout, which Carey had planned until he found Jacobs negotiating for the Dempsey hooking, seemed, therefore, to be beside the point. Watching The Scoreboard Yesterday's hero — Wiley Moore. ! veteran pitcher of the New Yotk Yankees, who relieved Herb Pennock against the Athletics and allowed the American League leaders only one hit In five innings, helping the world's champs to win, 6 to 4. The Yankees thereby took the series from their rivals and left for the west confident that they can tvertake the Mackmen, who are now 10% games out in front. Sam Byrd's hitting was the big factor in the Yankee offensive, Rube Walberg being the victim. The skidding St. Louis Browns dropped a pair of games to the Chi(igo White Sox, the scores being 5 to 4 and 6 to 2. Bill Cfssel's batting featured the opener and Red Faber’s pitching the second game. Harry Heilmann's double with the bases filled in the ninth was the winning punch in Detroit's late ralley and 9 to 6 triumph over the Cleveland Indians. Dale Alexander made five hits, including a homer. Erwin Brame held the St. Louis Cardinals to three hits and beat them 5 to 1, Pittsburgh's 12tn victory out of 14 star s against the National League champions. Grover CleveAlexander, attempting to better Christy Mathewson’s record of 372 National League victories, gave the Pirates only six safeties, but was betrayed by poor support. Lloyd Brown's effective pitching enabled the Washington Senators to beat the Boston Red Sox 3 to 2, Cronin driving in the winning run with a single, scoring Tate in the eighth. oJack Dillon Wins Indianapolis, Aug. 9. —- (U.R) — Jack Dillon, Indianapolis, knocked out Lou Nichols, South Bend, in the fifth round of a scheduled 10-round bout here last night. Nichols substituted for Soldier Fields, who was unable to appear because of an injured arm.

Aug. 9.—(U.R)—The United States should regain the Wightman cup from England in the international women's tennis series at Forest Hills tomorrow and Saturday. Seven matches will be played—two singles and one doubles tomorrow and three singles and one doubles Saturday—with four victories necessary to decide the winning team. California's two famous Helens— Helen Wills and Miss Jacobs—should give the United States the necessary , four victories in their singles match es. Miss Wills is considered invincible | and the odds are against her even 1 losing asset in her two singles en--1 gagements. Miss Jacobs' great play in the Wimbledon championships in which she advanced to the final only i to lose to Miss Wills encourages the | belief that she will prove capable of ' winning her two singles matches.

RIFLES BARRED FOR URY (GENTS Administrator Says Federal Men Can Use Them Only In Isolated Parts Washington, Aug 9—(U.R) ~roh, ‘j bition Commissioner J. M. Doran to- I day drafted an order to dry administrators forbidding currying of rifles by piohibition agents exifrpC "hen I they work in isolated sections. The I new regulation was adopted after a Texan had been killed accidentally I by dry agents. I Hereafter agents will be armed only 1 with revolvers, as a previous order 1 1 hy Doran banned sawed-off shotguns 1 and similar weapons. J Doran said prohibition rifles would I aid in the campaign to reduce fatal shootings by dry officers, as they now are armed only for self-protection and to prevent commission of a felony. “There appears to be no necessity tor prohibition agents to carry rifles when working in settled communities," Doran said. “The rifle is essen-, tialfy an offensive weapon and the: prohibition service does not bear arms for offensive purposes. In communities pistols must be used exclusively, as agents are armed only to defend their lives. “However, in mountain country or on the little-settled plains where long I range defense of an agent's life may J may l>e necessary, rifles will be per- [ mitted. Frequently in mountain moon-1 shine raids, officers are sniped at over ■ ranges of 300 yards. The same conditions probably would obtain on the | open plains.” Wightman Cup Play To Open Saturday Forest Hills. N.
