Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 29.—1 t must be true that the fight racket isn’t what it used to be. Even the “Black Menaces” are withering and fading away. Heretofore, no

matter how tawdry the general fighting stock became the black menaces always remained firm and steady in the trade markets. There was Peter Jackson back in the old days. Later there was Jack Johnson. And still later Harry Wills. Os course, Wills was not what you might

Williams

call a first class, legitimate menace; he was more of a myth than a menace, but he had a lot of the white boys saying their prayers before going to bed at that. Wills was effective until his handlers started him to menacing in a serious way and then he was just an animated punching bag and pot excessively animated, either. n tt tt Asa close student of menaces in sundry hues I am grieved to report that the newest and biggest of the breed, George Godfrey, of Leiperville, Pa., is not a dangerous animaL , a tt tt THE truth is, he is something of a house pet, and I believe even the most timid of the white heavyweight children may be trusted to igo romping through the park with him. The good Mr. Daugherty dumped (Godfrey into the ring at Ebbets field Wednesday night to fulfill a social appointment with Johnny Risko of Cleveland. In the beginning Godfrey looked powerfully pienacing. The difference in weights between the two fighters was the equivalent of a fast back field man, or 44 V2 pounds. It took the combined services of the canvas squkd of Col. McKeever’s ball park to dismantle the bath robe which hung like tent folds from Godfrey’s shoulders. a a tt ' A youth sitting at my left Inquired of his pater: “Say, Dad, what is it, a horse?” The youth’s mistake was excusable. The youth of the metropolis get very few chances to see horses, and certainly there never was a horse in this country or in Brooklyn, as big as Godfrey. tt tt tt FOR a while it looked as‘ the menace actually do quite a bit of plain and free style menacing. He hit Risko with right and left hand punches in the first round that must have soured the dough back in that Cleveland bakery. The faint hearted turned their heads. There was the promise of an early and messy massacre. Godfrey’s shoulder and arm muscles stood out like the humps on a camel’s back and you felt certain he could flatten Risko any time he chose. But this appears to be a bad season for the choosers. Godfrey did not choose to choose and while he continued to pummel away at Risko’s body, paying ardent attention to his kidneys, he did not make any important progress. tt a o He was far out in front going Into the fifth round when Risko belted him with a right hander to

Upsets Mark College Golf Play at Rye Johnny Lehman Beaten by Eastern Star on TwentyThird Green. Bn Times Special RYE, N. Y., June 29.—Eight link artists, remaining in competition, began play today in the quarterfinal round of the national intercollegiate golf championship. The eight stars were Maurice McCarthy, Georgetown; John Adams, Princeton; Joe Morrill, Harvard; Alfred Sargent, Ohio State; J. S. Beale, Union; J. A. Roberts, Yale; Mark Stuart, St. John’s, and John Williamson of Williams. Two remarkable upsets featured Thursday’s play over the Apawamis Club course. Watts Gunn, Georgia Tech, the defending champion, was eliminated by John Williams, one up, on the nineteenth green. Johnny Lehman, Purdue ,star, and Big Ten Conference champ, was defeated by Mark Stuart on the twenty-third green when Stuart holed out a twenty-foot putt for a birdie two. Favorites Lose Out at Toledo Bn Times Special TOLEDO, June 29.—Favorites fared not so well in the downpour at Ft. Miami Park Thursday and not one first-choice cashed in in the four races on the Grand Circuit program. Benelwyn, owned by W H. L. McCourtie, Dallas, Texas, and driven by Ben White won the feature event, the 2:10 trotting stake. Other winners in Thursday’s races were Josephine Volo in the 2:13 trot; Lauderdale in the 2'20 pace, and Ruth T in the open pace. THOM IS VICTOR Bit Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 29. —W. H. Thom, Indiana University wrestling coach, defeated “Bull” Smith, Gary, in two out of three falls here Thursday night. the solar plexus and while this did not change the complexion of Godfrey it did change the official complexion of the fight. a it- a FROM then on the menace was not much of a menace except for a brief spell in the tenth round when Risko, worn and weary after a game struggle, was forced to hold I on to survive a last-minute fury, j Where Godfrey had been hiding \ that fury must remain a secret. Had he shown it earlier and in more sustained form he would have won in a walk. As it was he had j something of an edge on the white man in points. I thought he had a clear shade in five rounds, with three for Risko and two even. Nevertheless the decision (and for all I know it may have been eminently correct) represented no great crime. tt tt tt When you outweigh a man MVi pounds and tower above him like a prize Dinosaur over a red picnic ant and then fail to score even one knockdown I don’t see where you have many cheers coming.

WASHINGTON PARK CHATTER ’BY EDDIE ASH

INDIANS and Hens, rained out Thursday, were to meet in the second conflict of the series this afternoon. The hottest pennant scramble in A. A. history for this time of the season finds the Betzelites on top by a margin of two and one-half games. Better pitching, better catching and a tighter defense explains the lofty position of the Tribe. The Hoosiers are second to St. Paul in executing; double plays, the leature that is always worth a shout on the part of the fans. With nineteen stolen bases. Fred Haney continues to be runner-up to Morehart of St. Paul in thefts. WHO would have guessed in the spring that Wid Matthews would be leading the Indians at bat the last of June? The dashing center fielder is the big surprise of A. A. gardeners this year. A good catcher to begin with, Roy Spencer is getting better. He throws strikes to second base. Toledo is a better ball town than Indianapolis, but just at present Indianapolis has the better ball club. Enemv right field hitters have suffered loss of batting points since Adam Comor. osky joined the Indians. The fleet flvrhaser is entitled to much credit. Coming down from the ‘'big show" he refused to let the demotion affect his ambition and some of his catches have been marvelous. He's like a streak coming In on a ball. Furthermore, his speed and strong throwing arm combine to cause base runners to become timid about going from first to third on singles. Layne In left, Matthews In center and Comorosky in right—three speed boys. All of whom “and which” encourages the pi Uhers. This was free day for women and children at Washington Park. THE Hen-Tribe series ends Saturday. On Sunday the Indians will play the Colonels a doubleheader in Louisville and on Monday the Tribe will clash with Ownie Bush's Pirates in an exhibition at Washington Park. The Betzelites will rush back to Louisville for a single fray Tuesday and doubleheader Wednesday. Next Thursday is an off day to allow the Tribe time for rest and travel to Kansas City. The four western A. A. teams will be met before the local pastimers return home to meet Louisville July 21.

Only Eleven—and a Champion!

- .. : "

THE charming little miss pictured above has more than a great tennis name. She has the talent that goes with it and so much talent she promises to attain heights comparable to Helen Wills. Only eleven years old she is the girl champion of Southern California. Her name is Dorothy Bundy. Her mother was the celebrated May Sutton Bundy, several times national champion and the first American entry to win the Wimbleton championship. Her father, Tom Bundy, also was a celebrated nationalist in 'his day.

Veteran Indianapolis diamond fans express the opinion the present Tribe outfit has more speed and is capable of executing more brilliant plays than any Hoosier team that can be named offhand. Several golf bugs present at Wednesday's game between Indians and Hens started a discussion about "concentration.” Many golfers go to pieces entirely if, while putting. a bird flaps its wings or a spectator coughs. And the golfer is in no physical danger. On the other hand, a batter at the plate in the pinch, with the crowd roaring, the catcher chiding and the inflelders shouting, faces injury on many pitches, yet must be in absolute control of himself if he delivers. It's just possible many golfers fret too much. Nineteen players are on the Tribe roster and when the Indians reach Minneapolis the middle of July they will be joined by Nydahl, the Minnesota University star. The league player limit is twenty.
