Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 9.—Because Charhe Harvey is an estimable gentleman deservedly popular and is looked on as a "good old soui” nobody gives him an argument

when he goes around these days predicting what Thomas Heeney is going to do to Gene Tunney this month at the Yankee stadium. Quite a number of the boys listen to Charlie and remark absently, "Yep, that’s right Charlie. You’ve got a good boy there and he’s

L-_— J

Heeney n a ble to do it." Then in an aside they add with more or less earnestness, “I’d like to see that bozo win just for Charlie’s sake.” It’s been a long time since England has had a direct or indirect representative in the heavyweight finals either in this country or over there. For this reason Heeney is looked on as something of t a phenomenon. If he should win, his victory would be properly and appropriately indexed with the miracles of the age. tt tt a Charlie Mitchell was England’s last great heavyweight. He was in his prime about forty years ago. When he left the field he left no worthy' successor In all these following years England has been unable to develop one firstclass fighting man among the big fellows. tt tt tt FOR a while Bombadicr Wells looked as if he' might qualify. He had plenty of class. He was typically a British product—one of those stand-up boys with flashy foot work and two hands that stressed deftness rather than destruction. His American debut was not auspicious. He lost to A1 Palzer, one of the current white hope nondescripts, in three rounds. He did better in his next start knocking out Tom Kennedy in eight rounds, an 1 embarrassment Kennedy never has b?en able to live down. At present he is an exile in the Hollywood film colony. This performance fanned fresh interest in the possibilities of the Bombadier who really was a fine looking machine in action, and as fine a boxer of his size this country had seen since Corbett’s heyday. Six months later he was matched against Gunboat Smith. The Gunner stopped him in two rounds. > 808 That was the end of Wells as a serious menace. A gentle tap on the chin was usually all that was needed to spread'the Bombadier. The last I heard of the Bombadier he had taken up golf in an important way and was shooting in the low 70s. tt tt /- PHIL SCOTT, the newest cut in English heavyweight champions came over here last with the advance threat of battling his way into a championship fight. Scott got off to a comical start. They gave him Knute Hansen to start with. Knute hit him seven times and each time Scott hit the floor. Curiously, Scott went on to prove he had something. The trouble was Hansen hadn’t given him a chance to show it. Among other things, he gave Risko a hard fight and knocked out Monte Munn. This was a fine comeback tor a man who had looked utterly hopeless in his debut. You may hear more of Scott later.

Olympic Selection Committee Names Members .of U. S. Squad. PURDUE STAR LEFT OUT Orval Martin Not Included in List. Bn United Press NEW YORK, July ftr-Bghty-two men were selected for the 1928 United States Olympic track and field team, as announced by the Olympic selection committee. Four members of the team have been selected for their third straight lime, including Jackson V. Scholz, sprinter; Joie Ray, who has changed from the 5,000 meters to the 10,000 meters and marathon; Ray Watson, who is running the 800 meters instead of the 1,500 meters, and Charley Paddock, sprinter, whose amature status is under investigation. Only two men, Ray and John L. Romig of Philadelphia were named for the 10,000 meters. Four men were selected for every other event except the 1,500 meters, where Lloyd Hahn was named in place of Orval Martin of Purdue as fourth man. H&hn made the team as winner of the 800 meters. How Charley Stands Investigation of Paddock’s amateur status was under way today bj the Amateur Athletic Union and the veteran Los Angeles sprinter may be barred from the Olympic games. Paddock qualified for his third Olympic team in the 200 meter final at Cambridge, Mass., Saturday, but his amateur status was challenged both by the A. A. U. track and field committee and the American Olympic selection committee. The Southern Pacific Association of the A. A. U. cleared Paddock of similar charges which grew from complaints about his motion picture work and personal appearances. Meanwhile, Paddock will again be taken abroad with the United States team, awaiting what decision the A. A. U. will make of his case If Paddock is cleared, he will be approved for competition at Amsterdam, but if he is disqualified, Roland Locke of Nebraska will take 1 his place. All Up in Air If the decision is reached by the A. A. U. before Wednesday and is adverse to Paddock, Locke will sail with the team. If not decided by Wednesday, both Locke and Paddock will go abroad, awaiting the final decision. Daniel J.. Ferris, secretary of the A. A. U., said today Paddoak would be asked to show that the charges in regard to his motion picture contracts and appearances at vaudeville theaters were not for personal remuneration. Records Tumble Three world’s track and field records were broken and one tied last week. Ed Hamm of Georgia Tech leaped 25 feet 11% inches In the final tryouts at Cambridge to set a new record in the broad jump. Lloyd Hahn of Nebraska and the Boston A. A. ran the 800 meters in 1 minute 51 2-5 seconds in the same meet, clipping one-fifth of a second off Dr. Otto Peltzer’s world record. ' S. A. Lay of Nev Zealaijd threw the Javelin 222 feet 9 inches in the British amaetur meet at Stamford Bridge, England, to break .the world’s record. Larva, a Finn, beat Paavo Nurmi and tied the latter’s world record of 3:52 6-10 for the 1,500 metres in the Olympic trials meet at Helsingfors. Finland.

xriSIT St. Louis and you’ll hear followers of the * Cardinals discussing the chancps that club will have with the powerful New York Yankees in the world series this fall. You see, the fans of that town figure the Cards are in. The rise of the Cards to the top of the National League may be attributed to many things, but no factor in their play has been more important than the steady play of “Rabbit” Maranville, the one-time stay-out-all-night who has reformed and is showing flaming youth that age, in his case, does not bow to youth.

Maranville Is not as spry as in the old days. But he has more spirit and more fight than any man on the club and has the other players happy. His work is making the Cards cne of the mo6t machine-like clubs in the majors. There was a time when the “Rabbit” was one of the big cut-ups in baseball and the national pastime was considered merely a sideline to him. But those days are gone forever. He climbed on the water wagon for good months ago. The Cards are not in by any means, but they’re the favorite to cop in the older circuit. Perhaps they won’t—but it won’t be Maranvilie’s fault.
