Berengaria. bearing the Ryder cup team and Tommy Farr, slid through the harbor to her north river berth. Farr, who'll challenge Joe Louis next month, was flattened three years ago by a gentleman who did not even trouble to remove his topper or monocle . . . Farr was working an a circus strong man at the time, meeting all comers . .. One of those “etay c.ne round and get a prize" businesses ... In walked the stylishly dressed fellow and, after a careful scrutiny of Farr, he said: "I fawncy I'll take you” ... No one was more more surprised than Farr when the “Toss" proceeded to knock him out inside a round . . . Farr told this story and said that anyone who doubted it could write to Hopkins Davis, Esq.. London, for proof . . Hopkins Davis is the , "Toss" who shed the morning coat and put Farr into mourning .. Mike Jacobs heard Farr tell the press this story and damn near swooned . . Mike knows that fighters iknock--1 ed out by innocent bystanders make very little copy . . So he quickly said to Tommy: “But that was a i long time ago, when you were a hoy?” . . . “No, it wasn’t. Mister Jacobs," answered the IVelshmann. “It was only a few years a»o>” . . . Ralph Guldahl, national open golf champion, says the English are the worst sports in the world . . The worst golf sports, anyway .. . “They yelled with glee when the English players made a good shot and they ' yelled with gtee when we made a ! bad shot,” Guldahl said ... “I don't care if I ever visit that country again” . . . Tony Manero, 1936 open champ, echoed Guldahl’s opinion .. ■ “In my match with Henry Cotton I begged the gallery to give me room to make my shots . . . but they crowded me so closely, and talked much, that I couldn’t hit the ball”

. . . George Jacobus, ROA president, ; was down to meet the Ryder cup 'boys and acted so important that most of the people on the dock thought that he had won all the doubles and singles matches singlehanded . .. Farr revealed that he could run the 100-yard dash in 10 seeends flat, which caused one wag to remark that in telling of his speed, Tommy had probably disclosed his defense against the heavyweight champion ... The best crack of the day was made by a sportswriter who, seeing Jeff Dickson of Paris in deep and ! earnest conference with Promoter Mike Jacobs, and figuring Jeff was trying to ease himself in on the promotion of the fight, tapped him on the shoulder and said: “Jeff, if you are trying to cut in on the dought, you might as well ring the gong on y.eurself . . . because this isn’t amateur night . . . you're talking to a ■ 'professional who knows all the ans- | wers” . . ■ Jacoibs, by the way, is about as difficult to "cut" as Stone Mountain . . . Farr thinks Louis will be easy because of the negro’s slow focitwork. . Farr says Joe is flat-footed and therefore a sucker for a fast mover ... The fact still remains, however, that Louis can knock an opponent kicking with one punch . . . and Farr has nr. knockout punch ... All he has is tremendous toughness and a fine left hand . . . Henry Picard has a twisted wrist and probably i won't play golf for three months .. Denny Shute wants another crack at Henry Cotton, but on this side of the Atlantic . . . Gene Sarazen, i who hasn't won a major title in years, was the ibiggest drawing card of all the Ryder cuppers. (Sopyright 1937 By United Press) j

LOY ALS SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES Insurgent Counter-Attack (Jains Strength As Loyalists Lose With the Nationalist Army Near Brunete. Spain. J»ly 21 (^,..„ k The nationalist counter • which started Bunday seemed likely today to develop into ® n | important offensive. Along an 18 mile front west of Madrid, the nationalists threaten-1 ed to undermine positions which the loyalists had gained on th* southern side of the Madrh Escorial road. Loyalists seemed concentrating in the Brunete sector all forces In Madrid, and they were offering stubborn resistance. A score of nationalist airplanes swept the skies in the vicinity of Brunete and bombed the massed artillery of the loyalists. As 1 have watched —from trenches. church steeples and tops of barns — the battle that has been going on all week, it has been difficult often to determine nationalist and loyalist lines because they are so intertwined. Constant artillery Immhardment has put a pall of smoke and dust over the entire area. The heat is stifling. It is so hot that soldiers are forced to shelter in trenches during most of the day, centering their energies on early morning and late evening operations. The loyalists suffered heavy losses last night when they tried to counter-attack at the famous Baranita road house, on the Escorial highway. The gay dance hall has been converted into a fortress. Three waves of loyalists, one after the other, were stopped, and when the stars came out there w»re hundreds of bodies in the olive orchards, killed by machine guns placed in the lovers’ pergolas and dancing terraces. Nationalists stopped seven loyalist tanks during fighting yesterday and but one man escaped. His escape seemed miraculous Through field glasses I saw an anti-tank shell hit the tank and crack it. Flames burst from it. One man escaped He staggered out, fell, rose and ran dninkenly toward another retreating tank. He knocked and called frantically as he ran, and at last the turret of the tank was opened and he was dragged into safety. o__ HORNSBY FIRED St. Louis', July 21—(U.R)— Rogers Hornsby was ousted as manager of the St. Louis Browns of the American League today. In explaining the action Donald Barnes, owner of the club, said it was "for the best interest of the Browns. James Leroy Bottomley, veteran first baseman and coach, was selected to fill the vacancy caused by Hornsby's dismissal. Action of the club substained rumors that Hornsby was to be relieved of his post. Barnes and other officials previously had denied them.
