NEW ERA IN RING BUSINESS Young Champs Are Worthy of Titles —Mandell Now Wears Crown. By Paul W. White, (United Press Staff Correspondent) \ NEW YORK, July 5. —Anew and unusual crop of champions has taken possession of the boxing game in recent months and promises to revolutionize the fistic business Into a business of fighting. Close on the heels of Paul Berlenback, the light-heavyweight champion who always is clamoring for action, has come Pete Latzo, the new welterweight king, and Tod Morgah, the junior lightweight title holder. And to this list last Saturday was added Sammy Mandell, who won the lightweight title from Rocky Kansas. Berlenbach stands out as the exponent of, the new era. Only a few weeks ago he took on young Stribling in what had promised to be the toughest fight of his career and it turned out to be the easiest. He set about immediately worrying New York’s many promoters for a suitable engagement with the result that he will defend his title again on July 15 at Ebbets field against Jack Delaney. And with that bout not yet out of the way Paul is clamoring for another date and to show the fighting heart that is in him, has asked for Harry Wills, Gene Tunney or others of the heavyweight challengers. Right in line with him comes Pete Latzo. ' Within six weeks after winning his honors from Mickey Walker he has risked the title against Willie Harmon and is signed to fight Georgie Levine next Friday night. He has told promoters plainly that he is through mining coal for a living and wants plenty of action In the ring. Sammy Mandell has had no chance to make good his repeated promises to be a “fighting champion,” but he already has started talking loudly about meeting Ace Hudkins and Sid Terris, the two main contenders for his newly won honors. Plans have been announced for a meeting between the Rockford boy and Billy Petrolle. Little Tod Morgan has been a constant battler in these parts of late, taking on all who have pursued him for weeks until there are few of'his weight left. He has averaged a bout almost every two weeks for months.

17 YEARS IN MAJORS Harry Hooper Had Illustrious Big League Career. Harry Hooper, w/io was cast * drift by the yThlte Sox las,t winter, bad a splendid big league career which covered a period of seventeen seasons. Twelve he spent with the Boston Red Sox and the remainder with Comiskey’s club. Hooper hit around the .300 mark during his many years in the majors but oddly enough, he had his best campaign, in so far as batting was concerned, in his next to the last season. That was in 1924. In 130 ‘games he turned in a percentage of .328, making 156 hits and scoring J. 07 runs. While a member of that famous Red Sox outfield composed of Hooper, Speaker and Lewis, He participated in four world series. In the 1915 classic he hit .350, and the following fall .333. DANFORTH UP AND DOWN Dave Back in A. A. After Third Trip to Majors. Dave Danforth, one of Milwaukee’s star pitchers this season, had quite an unusual career as a big leaguer. Dave made three trips to the majors after being turned over to Baltimore by the Athletics back in 1912. In 1915 he was with the White Sox, putting in several seasons, there. He then drifted back to Columbus, only to pop up with the St. Louis JBrowns In 1922. Later In the same campaign he was shunted to Tulsa In the Western League, returning to the Browns the following spring. He stayed on the Browns’ pay roll until last winter, when Milwaukee obtained him.

Worth Knowing

George Sisler, manager and first baseman of the St. Louis Browns, enjoyed his best year in 1922. That campaign Sisler hit for the remarkable average of .420, equaling the Amrelqan League record hung up by Ty Cobb back in 1911. That same season George also led the circuit in base stealing with 51 cushions. He scored 134 runs in 142 games, almost one to the tray, and poled out 246 hits, including 42 doubles, 18 triples and eight homers. It was the second time Sisler reached the .400 circle, having turned in a mark of .407 in 1920. I NEW SWIM MARK Bu United Presa NEW CASTLE, N.

Ten-Year Golf March' —From Atlanta Across the Sea

From a mere kid to winner of three of the four major golf championships of the universe in ten years is the marvelous record hunjf up by Robert Tyre Jones of Atlanta. . Jones started on his march back in 1916. Since then he has been the game’s sensation. He has won the national open title, the national amateur (twice) and recently walked off with the historic British open classic, being the first American amateur ever to sweep through the field 1 successfully. Moreover, Jones has been up with the top-notchers year after year. When he hasn’t bagged the honors, he’s been but a step or two away. Last year, in the na-

FEAR STOPS FIGHTERS QUICKER THAN PUNCHES Stribling Latest Example of ‘Nerves’ in Berlenbach Bout —Doctor Said Blood Pressure Far Above Normal. By Joe Williams XEA. Err rice Writer NEW YORK, July 5. —When a fighter surrenders to his nerves—which is a parlor-like phrase for FEAR—his collapse is thorough, complete and devastating.

Any other type of athlete, a golfer, a ball player, a sprinter, can feel the clammy*"touch of fear and yet hold on to a vestige of his competitive soul. But a fighter can't. Just why, only those schooled in the mind-over-matter problem can tell you. It may be ascribable to the fact that in no sport is the mantoman conflict so pronounced as in fighting. In golf there are awesome tests known as hazards, and opponents capable of outdriving you. In baseball there are pitchers with speed and hooks that blind and baflle But there is no one standing in front of you wearing a five-ounce glove and a 12-pound glower. Stribling Crumples No fighter in recent years crumpled more completely before the ominous shadow of fear than did young Billy Stribling on the day he was to step into the ring with Paralyzing Paul Berlenbach for the light heavyweight championship. On no other basis is it possible to explain the utterly spiritless and impotent performance the Georgian made. Every writer in the metropolis commented the following day that Stribling entered the ring with a shattered nerve force, seized with terror. Nerves "Shot” Dr. Walker, examining physician of the State ring commission, made a private prediction Stribling would be badly beaten. Dr. Walker examined him and found his heart racing like a French motor, his blood pressuje twenty points above normal and his breathing irregular. "His nerves are shot,’’ confided Dr. Walker. "He'll blow as sure as the Creator designed green apples.” The world knows Stribling, once looked on as a possible contender for the heavyweight championship, blew as no heralded phenom In years has blown. Usually a veritable torrent and flow of action, the southerner, after landing one right-hander in the first round which had no effect on the stolid German, resorted to what ringside vulgarians call "tin canning.” Case of Jeffries Stribling is not the fl:rst victim of ring-nerves and the chances are he won’t be the last. Jim Jeffries surrendered to his nerves the night before that historic battle with Jack Johnson at Reno in 1910. This became known in after years when his camp attaches told how he spent a sleepless night, how he tossed in his bed like a fishing yawl in a northern gale, and how, finally, he got up and walked under che trees studying the stars. (History records, incidentally, that this nocturnal lesson in astrology was not wasted effort, for he saw plenty of stars in the ring with the negro the next day.) I recall the night Tony Melchoir of Chicago foiight Tommy, Gibbons at Toledo. Melchoir was said to be a great heavyweight prospect. I asked Jimmy 1 Dime, George Chip’s

tional open, he carried Willie Mac Farlane to thirty-six extra holes before acknowledging defeat in one of the most thrilling and hotly contested playoffs ever staged. In 1922 he finished In a tie with Black for second at Skokie, one stroke behind Sarazen. In 1924 he was runner-up to Cyril Walker at Oakland Hills. In national amateur play, Jones, besides winning the title in 1924 and 1925, come in second in 1919, losing to Davidson Herron at Oakmont, 5 and 4. Jones needs but one more conquest—the British amateur—tq complete his string of major championships. He hopes to put that over next year.

old manager, who was handling him, how he figured the fight. Feared Gibbons "Melchoir will be knocked out In a round toniglft,” * Dime answered. “His nerves have turned on him. He’s lost six pounds since weighing in time. He’s Just discovered there is such a thing as fear. I feel sorry for him.” That’s the way the fight went. Gibbons won in a round. It was, by the way. the first of a long string of knockouts by Gibbons which led to his subsequent fight with Jack Dempsey at Shelby for the title.

With the Majors

Jacobson, in five chance*, mad" three singles and a double, accounting for three run* and aiding Brooklyn defeat Philadelphia. 11 to 2. Sunday. Hugh McQuillan pulled a “Merkle.” falling to touch third in the fourth inning with the run which would have won for the Giant*. Instead Boston captured the eleven-inning game, 5 to 4. The Cincinnati Red* Increased their lead tn the pennant chase, winning from St. Louis, 7 to 2. Tde weakened in the eighth inning of a pitcher's battle with Root and the Cubs took advantage of the opportunity, defeating Pittsburgh. 2 to 0. The Senators and tho Tanks stood 4 to 4 when the game was called in the sixth because of darkness and rain. Bums made his thirty-fifth two-baee hit of tho season, but Cleveland lost. 2 to 1. to the Brown*. The White Sox battered Well* In the first inning and defeated Detroit.

Puzzling Play* - 'By Billy Evans Explain what i meant by a fielder’* choice? A fielder's choice is created when the player handling a batted ball desires to try to retire another base runner instead of the batter. For instance, with a runner on second, the batter hits to the shortstop. . A perfect throw to first would have retired the basman Tho fielder elects to try for the more difficult play, the retiring of the runner trying to advance to third. In such a play the batsman is scored as having reached first base on a fielder's choice. He is charged with a time at bat. GRAND CIRCUIT RACING Bu United Preas CLEVELAND, July s.—The Grand Circuit racing season was scheduled to start at North Randall today.

COCH'ET THREAT TO YANKS French Tennis Star in National Tourney as Well as Davis Cup. By Henry R. Farrell United Frees Staff Correspondent LONDON, July s.—French tennis players are not only threatening to life .the Davis Cup from the United States but they will be a decided thieat in the American national tennis championships. * In Henri Cochet, 25-year-old star, who won the recent French national hard court championships. France has one of the best players In the world. Cochet told the writer after the tournament that he would find it possible to visit the United States this summer for the Devls Cup matches and the national championships and If he retains the form he displayed in beating Vlnnle Richards and Rene Lacoste, the defending champion, in straight sets, he will have a fine chance to beat cither Billy Johnston or Bill Tilden. Cochet, according to Andre Glarner, former Stanford University sprinter and one of the best Informed sports writers in Europe, has always been regarded as a better player than I-acoste of Jean Borotra but he Is what the French people refer to fondly as a “working boy.” Works for Living He has to work for a living and In the past has not been able to take the trips that Lacoste and Borotra have made around Internationa! courts. There is no doubt that Lacoste and Borotra developed so rapidly because of the advantage of playing in various countries against the world’s best players but Cochet had to content himself with a few European tournaments each season, Cochet in the past has been regarded as an “In and outer." good one day and not so good the next and there Is no doubt that his inconsistency of form came as a result of not being able to play as much as his fellow countrymen. Tilden, Richards and other American players. Father Groundkeeper Cochet learned his tennis on the courts of the Football Club of Lyons, where his father was the groundkeeper. "When he became good enough to play In tournament tennis he applied for membership in the club and it was denied, because his father was a servant at the club. He joined a smaller tennis club and when he had won his first championship the club wanted him to give up his membership and play under its colors. He refused but was influenced to change his mind by a threat that his father would be discharged if he did not give up the membership irt the smaller and less known club. , Cochet is certain to be a hit In the United States not only because of his great game, but because of Ills likeable personality.
