KEARNS PROVES GOOD SALESMAN Orangeburg. N.Y.. July 21-<II.P) •—Jack Kearns, who can out-talk anything from an Alabama congressman to a Kansas cyclone, has the good burghers of Orangeburg convinced that a future world's! heavyweight champion is training I in their midst. Not only has Kearns convinced ■ the local citizenry that picket Walker will defeat Jack Sharkej in their 15-round 'American heavy weight championship" bout at Brooklyn tomorrow night and then gv> on to life the world crgsv 1 now held by Max Schmeling, but he has cast his spell over almost 1 every visitor to Walker's camp. Call it mass hypnotism if you will, but the dapper doctor has' talked so much and so convincing ! ly that Walker, rated as a I to 20; long shot when the lout was made, I' now is being conceded a strong 1 chance of victory. • This hi spite of all records and logic. Sharkey admittedly is a better boxer, a harder hitter and faster than his opponent. He will have a 200 to 165-pound pull in J weight, a six inch advantage ini height and an even bigger margin ; in reach. In addition he is 28-years-old to Walker's 30 and al-1 ways has kept in good physical trim whereas Mickey is a notorious , night life playboy. The good doctor, however, discounts all these advantages and would have you Itelieve they will handicap the Bostonian. He dwells on the victory of David over Goliath and the feats of Jack the Giant Killer and usually sends his 1 f ttdienco away convinced that any courageous singer midget could < hase a Primo Camera right out of the ring. There is a method to the good doctor’s madness. Although he will tell all who listen that Walker is a better fighter than Jack Dempsey in his prime and that Mickey will punch out Sharkey in a round. Kearns realizes that his i man has little chance of victory. | Kearns’ "ballyhoo" was neces- ! sary to build up Walker's confi- 1 dencc and to make the contest a ' financial success — an imp'ortant! factor when it is remembered 1 that “the doctor" will receive half r* Mickey’s 25 per cent split of the gate. Its success is attested by the fact that Mickey actually believes be can win and the promise of a *200,060 gate. Alsb in that Walker. knocked out by Joe Dundee as " welterweight; given the middleweight title on a decision so ques-, tionalde that the referee never: again has received an important ring assignment; and unsuccess- 1 ful in two attempts to lift the light heavyweight crown, now is conceded a chance by experts to I bat an opponent who has been close to the heavyweight title for nearly five years. Walker may win. but only it ; Sharkey fails to fight. And if Walker does win credit for the victory must go to Kearns, tin-1 doubtedly the craftiest manager in hexing history. Mickey was far from impressive In his final workout yesterday. He j showed none of his reputed punch-1 lug ability and he was a wide open I target for his sparring partner taking a bad shellacking from men not capable of carrying Sharkey’s gloves.

ATHLETICS GET i WRITER'S FAVOR New York. July 21.—(U.R) — 011 ' man statisticii, working on the theory that figures never lie, is just | about ready to award the 1931 American league pennant to the Philladelphla Athletics. The figure expert today will tell you the Athl tics don’t have to play • much better than .500 ball in their 63 remaining games to add this year's flag to the already impress-1 live collection on the Shibe Park ' flagpole. By breaking even for the rest of •the s ason, the Athletics would I 'compile a record of 96 victories and 1 ,5S defeats Washington, now seven games bellied the world champions, would have to win 40 of its remain- • ing 66 contests to tie the A's. That fe.it might net prove too big for the Senators, but. as t.’.e old man points out. it would be something out of! the ordinary if Philadelphia could! play no better than .509 ball. The only reason the old man hasn't come out definitely on the! A's is because of the prank the Si.! Louis Cardinals pulled on him last | year. He had the Cardinals cut of! the running but they came from I nowhere in July to win the pen ! nant in September. . The old man got busy with the figures yesterday when the As slugged out a 12 to 7 victory over the Chicago White Sox. When th ' world champions overcame a six run lead the White Sox built up in the first inning, mister statistician thought it would be a good idea to see what chances they had to win ! !their third straight title this year. Washington kept pace with a 7 to 3 division over Detroit. It was the Tigers’ seventh consecutive defeat and it marked Marberry’s ; ninth triumph of the season. Ed Wells pitched and batted the New York Yankees to an 8 to 5 victory over St. Louis. Wells not; only h Id the Browns to nine hits! but drove in the runs which enabled the Yankees to win. Cleveland defeated Boston, 9 to 2, in the other American league game. Clint Brown limited the ! Red Sox to four hits. Although idle, the St. Louis Cardinals' National league leadership was increased to six games when the second place Brooklyn Robins lost to Chicago. Ito 0. Lefty Clark I held the Cubs to three bits but Tay-I lor’s triple and Hemsley’s single! came in the seventh inning to | manufacture the lene run. Root| limited the Robins to seven scattered hits. No other National league games! j were played. Yesterday’s hero: Danny Taylor, fleet outfielder, who scored the run' which gave the Chicago Cubs a li ito 0 victory over Brooklyn. Taylor; hit a triple and a single to account | I for two or the three hits the Cubs 1 collected off Lefty Clark. Taylor I also played a brilliant game in the ! field. o Cf Famous Family John Scott Harrison, who. was I horn in 1801 at Vincennes.

FALL ENTERS STATE PRISON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I ZZ~Z—WZW z_ i W. E. Fiske, to determine whether !! he will remain in the spacious hos||pital quarters to which he was sent 11 when he arrived in an ambulance from his ranch at Three Rivers. N. ' M. | Warden Ed Swope said he would | treat the former cabinet m mber lin accordance with instructions I from Sanford Bates, federal superI intendent of prisons, which directled him to take into consideration | Fall's "age and condition of health,” 1 but to see he gets no spcial priv-| ileges or favors. 1 -Bates instructed Swope to pre- ! vent Fall from giving any inter- • views, or having any visitors and to "strictly prohibit" any absences j on his part from the jail. The former secretary, who exhausted every possible legal maneuver in his effort to escape serving the sentence, arrived at 10:16 p. m. in the black ambulance in | which he had ridden 325 miles from I his home in El Paso. 1 Prison rules forbidding induction *of prisoners after 6 p. m. were susi pended. The big prison gate open;ed to the ambulance siren, then I clanged shut behind the black ma ! chine which Fall had "described as a “damned hearse." For 20 miles he had technically been in federal custody. At Lamy, I N.

Marshal Joseph Tondre. > “Hello. Mr. Fall," Tondre said, walking to the ambulance with I hand extended. “Hello, Mr. Tondre," answered | Fall, who knows every figure of political prominence in his home state, "I am glad to see you.” Tondre did not read the committment papers. “He knows well enough what we want," the marshall explained. Tondre turned Fall over to Swope,, who turned him over to Jackson. Mr. Fall, who had ridden! from the ranch with her husand | left the ambulance. She went on! to Santa Fe with her daughter, Mrs. I Kouett Elliott, to the home of I democratic state chairman William j Earkef, where she will stay indefinitely. z,

COURT SCORED FOR SENTENCE ! (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) . opened by L. O. Chasey, secretary to the governor. He said he would communicate with the court to obtain all the facts in the case. Last week John, ragged. Irirefooted and hatless —stood before Judge Smith and admitted that he had stolen an old meat cleaver mid tongs from a blacksmith shop. Judge Smith heard the evidence ' and ordered him to leave he i county. John was hungry and needed s-me more of his tattered clothes. That was his explanation of his return to 1 his father’s home, where he ate a cold m-al. and sought the additional clothing. John's father returned with the boy to the court, to plead that his I son be permitted to remain in I Princeton. Judge Smith declined the plea, ordered John re-arrested, and the next morning sentenced him to eight years at the boys’ | school. o Cleaning Pewter Pewter is n soft meta! and only very fine scourers, such as fine whiting, rouge or fine rottenstone mixed with oil. should be used for cleaning it. o Longfellow’s /#-ce»try Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American for several gen eratlons.

FARMERS HO- n, 1(ore (CONTINUED FROM^PAG^N® 1 selling their grain for as low as 12 and 18 cents a bushel. -Prices in this state range upwa, from 36 cents. ” Moore added. Reports arriving at the farm bureau revealed that the 193 • crop wl li be one of the heavies in historv. Acreages yielding 40 ; bushels were not unusual. Moore ! said adding that several authentic I reports told of 52 bushel yields. 1 Moore attributed the farmers hesitancy in taking their grain to ! the market to three causes: 1. Most of the growers are hopI ing for a rise in prices. If the ascent does not materialize, many : will feed their grain to stock. ‘ 2. Others are expecting to feed the wheat regardless of the i trend of prices3 One group is holding the grain so that if the dry weather ; damages the corn crop, wheat will I be available for feed. "The hitter situation is not re- ! mote," Moore said. Moore was doubtful regarding <he effect the wheat condition will ' have on the oats market. “Tills ! crop." he said, "promises to be as ! large as the wheat yield. With ! bins loaded with the latter grain, •t is questionable what the farmers ! will deside to do with the latter crop. If they decide to hold it, ! too. and find storage ample to hold it, the result may be an upturn in prices before fail. "It is a question,” he said, ‘whether the overstocked bins will hold the double < rop, since farmers can hardly be expected to sell in view of present conditions.”
