Swimm TIRRIN’ the DOPE
By VEDDER GARD
ONDER how a Nttle conVY/ structive criticism would go * * today on a couple of practices in local boxing which should be remedied? We do not make the following remarks in a know-it-all spirit. We also realise that shows here are being handled in satisfactory manner with a few exceptions. Two tilings have been noticed in the actual conducting of the bouts which are not exactly according to correct procedure. Should a referee dust off a boxer’s gloves just after he lias been knocked down for a count of eight 01 nine? When the third man in the ring does this he gives the mauler at least two or three seconds more in which to recuperate. And those seconds are precious moments in which to shake the ‘'bees’’ out cf one’s head. Such a practice, we believe, is unfair to the man who has his opponent staggering. Then, there is the question of the duration of rounds. Everyone knows they should be three minutes. At times the prelims have been shortened. But only the timekeeper and matchmaker know what is going on. The man at the gong is simply’ following instructions. If the rounds in some of the early bouts are to bn cut down (and it is not a bad idea on a long card), the spectators should be apprised of the fact. It will save any misunderstandings. We have seen fans time rounds and yell loudly they were being ‘‘grypped.’’ They got plenty of fighting before the night was over, but they couldn't forget the short rounds. • * • 0 : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o o Some day* you enn’t lay up a cent. Across The Board dropped $25 Wednesday. Just to show you that others had the same ideas about the horses played ■—Great Jar was a heavy favorite at the track and Wuhu and Silver Slippers were second choices In the betting. We’re not crazy—it's the horses. The bunk roll stands at $117.50. Today we will play a $lO win, place and show parlay on QUICK LUNCH In the second at Coney and LAKY AUDREY In the seventh at Coney. Might as well go broke or win some tiling so $lO more rocs on COLLIER In (he fourth at Coney and OLD SLIP In the fifth — a place parlay. * * * Cr""'~IOLLiEGE days and football are drawing near. Last .... night on the corner we heard one youth in a patronizing manner talking to another lad. "Yep, the first year, will be kinda hard, Bud," was the information Imparted. We could see the one addressed was thrilled with the thought of entering college. ( We asked about the youth doing the talking and were told he was a sophomore. We would have bet on it. That’s the way sophomores get. They love to hand that "Bud" stuff to the freshies. * * • There is one thing the Philadelphia Nationals are thankful for. When they dropped with a thud into the cellar the loud moans of the Quakertown fans over the pitiful fate of the Athletics drowned out the noise of the fall as the Phillies hit the bottom. * * * S’lIS youngster Gunn sure .shoots a wicked set of shinny sticks. He won fifteen consecutive holes in the national amateur golf tourney Wednesday In defeating Bradford, 12 up. If Gunn keeps his powder dry today and beats Sweetser he probably will meet his teacher, Bobby Jones, in the semi-finals on Friday. Jones must keep the Wolff from the door in today’s match. Gunn, an Atlanta (Ga.) youth, is the special product of Bobby Jones and is following In the footsteps of his great instructor. We hope they meet so we can pull out the they meet so we can pull out the clashing. • • * ERESS reports from the national amateur golf tourney state that Jack Mackie, the youth from brazen New York, whistled while his apponent, Upson, was shooting and brandished his club while Lauren was putting. Mackie was quoted as saying at one point, "I’ll get that guy yet” and shouting, "Lucky shot," as Upson made a good recovery. We have some times made fun of the hold-your-breath golf players, but Mackie went to the other extreme. We are mighty glad he lost. * * • mHE dry, hot spell is almost over. The other night we got a lift downtown in a fast flivver. The intrepid driver said he could smell rain. Someway we have confidence in him. But, nice rain, please do your stuff at once. Louisville and the Indians have a baseball series starting Saturday. And next week Grand Circuit racing is on the program at the State fair. • * * A r ~~“ CCORDING to a racing publication, the sixty layers who started the season at Hawthorne track in Chicago have dwindled to about a dozen. The numerous "killings” engineered at the course have knocked the "oralizers" for the count of ten. But was the general public In on all this? Now dont’ be silly. Who pays the freight and gets the gate? Old man General Public! * * * _ W inland city? Fred Holliday > T J has entered a motor speed boat in the 150-mlle sweepstakes at Detroit on Labor Day. There’s a man who should get a medal at least. We are In favor of widening and deepening White River for him. Such spirit deserves encouragement.
QUARTER FINALS STAGED IN NATIONAL AMATEUR LINKS EVENT
PRO GRID BACKERS ARE BUSY Team Here and State Elevens May Join American Football League. Indianapolis and perhaps three other Indiana cities may be represented in the recently organized American Professional Fcotball League, if plans of the organ zuteion, made public today, materialize at the final entry and schedule drawing at the Hotel Havlin, in Cincinnati, Sept. 12, at 8 p. m. At a recent meeting in Dayton, Ohio, C. B. Koors of Dayton was named president and Walter Miller of the same city secretary, with N. Ebersoie, Spalding representative at Cincinnati, treasurer. The executives plan a fourteen-team league, with the geographical conditions the heavy factor that will cause the circuit to plunge to the front fast, it is believed. * Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania will have teams in the league, Koors states. It is known that Dan Goodman and A1 Feeney are busy now working on the organization of the local Y. P. C. team of last year under a new name. It is thought they will be at the Cincinnati meeting ready to post the S2OO forfeit. Kokomo American Legion, will be represented by Coach Sumner and Manager Spruce and Marlon, Ind., will angle for a berth with Bruce, Pierce, Jonesboro at the helm. Ft. Wayne, Muncie and Jasonville, may try to make the riffle for berths. The formation of the league will dispense with eleventh hour cancellations, Insure a continuous high brand of ball all season, place the games in the hands of capable officials and establish a league standing that will bring about an undisputed champion each year, Koors said. RABBIT QUITS Maranville Out as Manager —Gibson Appointed. Bu Unite l Prret , CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Walter (Rabbit) Maranville today resigned as manager of the Chicago Cubs, and Coach George Gibson was appointed acting manager, according to an an nouncement by President William Veeck. Maranville said he resigned be- j cause he could not play efficient base- i ball and manage the club at the same time. He will remain a member of the team. Maranville was ordered here from Boston ahead of his team after reports reached the Chicago Cub directors that the peppery shortstop had been having a gay time off the field and was not abiding by training rules. It Is said he was ejected from a Boston hotel for disturbing the peace of the hostelry.
