YANKEES LOSE THREE IN ROW. DONALD BEATEN Yankee Rookie Defeated For First Time During Season New York. Aug. 8 <U.R> -Tria Speaker did Joe DiMaggio a great turn when he started the controversy over the Yankee outfielder's rating In comparison to some of the old linters. Whether or not Speaker made the crack that he could name a doten outfielders Tris now denies he said any such thing who could outfield DiMaggio. the “Yankee dipper." as Joe la now sometimes called, is giving the greatest ex i hihltlon of outflelding In baseball 1 these days He raced back rear rhe center ] fi- ld wall in Yankee stadium yea. terday and spearet a 450-foot drive by Hank Oreenbe-g with one hand It was highway robbery of the I rankest Son Gr-enberg probably | would Eave mad -a homer if DI I Maggio hadn't .aught the hall. The day before DiMaggio mad.-1 three spectacular catches, one off ] his ahoetops and rtolng back to his right and left for the other two. Speaker need rot apologise for any part he playel in commenting on Di Maggio's fielding because] the old "Gray Eagle" of the outfield certainly has brought out the j very beat In Joe. Now If someone ' would only make a crack about DiMaggio s hitting he might get a glimpse of a 5«o batter As It is Joe la clouting only .397, having gone “8 for 4” yesterday against Schoolboy Howe.

TONY GALENTO, I NOVA FIGHT TO DRAW HEAVILY Heavyweight Bout To Be Held In Philadelphia September 7 New York. Aug. 3—tVPt— Joe Jacobs. the big cigar that talks Ilka a man. who manages Tony Galento. the barrel that walks like a man. puffed up. a money-back guaran-eed-to-wln parlay today on th* Gal--nto-Lou Nova fight In PhlhdelpkH ‘teptem'ber 7. '•it's the screwiest thing you ever heard of", reported stogie wnoklng I Joe. "But thia la one fight you can- , not lose on If you'l’ bet on Galento » win In New York they lay ac equal wager on Nova to win In Ph'ladelphla. The difference in odds insures your winning.." He said that in Philadelphia Gal- ' i nto had been made the 8-6 favor.’t«. while In New York Nova was the 7-6 choice. Taking the rhort end | In both cities for an equal amount, the better could be assured of winning. For instance. If 55 was wagered on each aa directed, and Galento won. the better would come out 32 ahead. It Nova Won. there would be S 3 profit. Jacoba said the 15-roundet was a . certalnlty to draw more than 5300. ' 00. but he pretended tg be highly j disinterested. “Promoter Herman Taylor already has orders for more than 1.500 ringside tickets, and the seats, 1 sink even on sale yet," ne said. "There's no limit to want it may drww with tickets scaled from »2 to *lO and 130.000 seats available. I But we really ain't very interested in what this fight draws, because thia la just a tnneup for Ixmls We just want toiknock that Nova dead and get In the ring wl»h that Louis again. When Tony puts nim down this next time be ain't going to get up.” Today’s Sport Parade * By Henry McLemore New York. Aug. 3 — iU.PJ — A drummer boy without his sticks, a gamecock without his spurs, j That is what some of the egperta were likening Henry Arm strong to aa he started training today for the defense of his lightweight championship against lain Ambers in Yankee vtadigm late this month Armstrong's hands are gone. You hear it everywhere you turn am<>ng boxing men The little chocolate fiata. the little bundles of bone and muscle, they say. have ■ rumbled at last from their eternal pounding If they have It's no wonder. For more than a decade Armstrong has thrown hla fists almost without cessation He was never one to stall, even for a moment. From bell to bell he has waded in. stayed dose within the firing range, and pumped, pumped, pumped those fiata of hla. They have bounced off jaws, skulls, riba elbows and' shoulders tens of thousands of times There have been greater , fighters than Armstrong. perhaps. ' but never busier ones Flyweights, light weights, welterweights — he has taken them all since 1929. Not a boxer but a fighter. Arm- ' strong has called on hla flats more than any other man of his time. ! They were his attack and his defense at one and the same time. Behind a barrage of leather, a never-ending barrage, he waged : and won hla three titles. His hands began to weaken before he ever won a title. But ha kept throwing 'em. For years several of his fingers have been no . he has to bend them

forcibly into the bundle of his fiats after he slipped on bla gloves. He kept the condition of hla weapons pretty much of a secret until two months ago when he defended hla welterweight championship against Ernie Roderick In lamdon. They gave him tremendous trouble In that fight Early in the bout nia left hand got so bad that he had to use it almost as a club, | striking with his wrist. For days after the bout hla left arm waa black and blue almost up to the elbow and his fingers were horI ribly swollen. He went from Ixiudon to Paris for treatment, and came away from the French capital ainghig the; praises of a surgeon who. he said, had made hla hands well again. Yet they muat not have been too . well because shortly after hla return to this country he went to I Hot Springs and treated hla hands with a mud cure. And today. In hla ‘ camp in Pompton I-akes. he squeegee hard rubber balls, palms heavy atones, and swaddles hla fists like new born babes before sparring or punching the bag. The outcome of the tight literally is in Henry's hands Given two solid fists, he will be 100 much for Ambers Rut if he has to go In there under the stadium lights with broken hands the Herkimer Italian may well give him hla first defeat in *7 fights. Ambers hasn't Armstrong's class or punch, but he Is as game as they come, fast as a streak, and hits hard enough to cut and slice. He fought Henry to a fa re-thee-well last September, and he Is better now than he waa then. Only one thing la certain about the fight right now and that is that It figures to be the best of the year, LEADING BATTERS Player and Club C AB R H Pct. IX Maggio. Yanka <l2 330 SO 11 SM Fosx.
