IT is an old ring axiom that the I complexion of things in the heavyweight division | i frequently. And recent developments bqt prove its truth. When the late Tex Rickard , dubbed Johnny Risko “The Spoiler” j he knew his stuff. For the Cleveland Baker Boy has done it again, j Johnny, counted out of the heavyweight picture as long as three ; years ago. came back to hand Mickey Walker one of the severest drubbings of that young man’s long career. For once in his life Johnny : went to the fistic wars in first class fighting shape. For seven long months he had prepared for this j comeback. And when you hark back to a statement once made by Danny Dunn. Risko’s diminutive manager, that “my feller would rather spend ! five hours over a billiard table than five minutes in a gymnasium” you will agree that something must have happened to John. And as further proof, if you demand it, list to Johnny’s words Kaye Don Establishes New Speedboat Record i Dumbarton, Scotland.

I radioed after his victory over . Waiker. Johnny shouted that he wanted Schmeling next. And when reminded by, the man at the “Mike" that Maxie Had stopped him in their previous meeting. Johnny bawled. “Yeah, but I’ll be in shape this time! ” To further scramble the heavyweight situation Ernie Schaaf, but a few short months ago rated next to his part-manager, the present heavyweight champion, traveled to New Jersey and took a sound licking from Stanley Poreda. up-and-coming youngster of New Jersey. It was a great comeback for Poreda. who was making his first start since his disastrous knockout defeat by Salvatore Ruggirello. And it was Schaaf's first defeat in seventeen .starts 1 These two startling upsets, and incidentally they occurred on the same night, call for a general reshuffling of the cauliflower cards.

Two dams will be built in the St. Lawrence. The treaty does not fix their location, but engineers favor placing one near either Crys|ler or Ogden Island and the other I near Barnhart.

by virtue of his win over the man who held the present champion to a draw, and Poreda steps right into the limelight. Briefly the heavyweight division right now is indeed scrambled. There doesn’t seem to be a worthwhile match in the division, at least - as far as gate money is concerned The talked-of match between Walker and Schmeling. which seemed like a natural, is, of course, out of the question now. Risko may get it. Schaaf w’ill have to start over again. Camera arrived in America recently minus much of his glam our. Larry Gaines took care of that job in London. Sharkey surely won’t defend his title until next year and Max Schmeling. who curiously enough is the only first flight heavyweight whose prestige has not dimmed in the last six months, is back home in Germany’. It looks like a tough summer for the big-time matchmakers. Copyright, 1932. Feature.’ Srndirait, Inc.

INDIANS ARE ON RAMPAGE New York. jTi??4 -<U.R)- The I Cleveland Indians have swept Into ; second place In the American ' league because of heavy hitting and the "Old Click,” Manager Roger Peeklnpaugh said last night after arriving from Philadelphia. "Yes sir!" declared Big Chief , Peek, "this team's clicking better n | anv taxi meter you ever saw. and , the boys are hitting like nobody s i business. I "That's the secret of o«r sueI cess. If you want to call it that. Os course we haven't arrived at the top yet. Were still nine ami a half games behind the lanks. i But I think our three-game series with the New York outfit will • chop that down some." Peckinpaugh. who was voted the j most valuable player in the Amer- , lean league in 1925 as shortstop with Washington, said he had one j extremely valuable player this i year, himself, in Bill Cissell at second base. “His hitting and fielding cer--1 tainlv are doing us a world of j good " The bald manager said his I team hnd been getting pretty fair ' pitching too. “nothing extraordin- ( arc, hut good enough to win the I snnnort of our hitters." Roger was enthusiastic over | Cissell, who drove in the winning , runs over the Athletics yesterday, I and the winning run the day he- ! fore. His single in the tenth in- ' ning yesterday, with two men out. ' enabled the Indians to nose out the A's. 7 to 5. for their fourth I straight victory over Philadelphia. Al Simmons drove out his 20th and 21st home runs in vain and I>fty , Greve was charged with his sec- : on’’ defeat in two days. This victory boosted Cleveland . from fourth to second place and I dronped the A's to third position. I while the Tigers, who lost to the ! Red Sox. 8 to 7. slumped to fourth i rung.
