Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. June 24. — This threatens to a, reasonably active week in sports. Aside from the Poughkeepsie regatta, the Pao-lino-Sehmeling fight and the National Open golf championship there is hardly anything on the calendar. Tt.'g too bad the baseball fellows did hold the Yankee-Athletic series back a littl® while longer. That would have madr the hysteria irnnitViOus. ana The regatta will be decided ome time between 6 and 7 o'clock tonight. The expert*, say it looks like Columbia, or maybe California. or possibly Cornell, and there’s an outside rhanro that Washington may spring a surprise. * a an TV OTHER WORDS, THE EXPERTS AREN T SO SURE. THERE ARE NINE CREWS ENTERED AND THERE IS NO lAW AGAINST ANY ONE OF THEM SPLASHING HOME FIRST IN THE FOURMILE CRUTSE IN THIS RESPECT THE ROAT RACE DOESN'T DIFFER A WHOLE LOT FROM THE FIGHT OP THE GOLF TOURNAMENT. THESE EVENTS HAVE GOT THE EXPERTS WINGING. TOO. nan THEY aren't, s'ire whether Sohmeling is a flash or a smash. Most of them prefer to wait and =ee what, he does with Paolino before making that German Dempsey” tag. official. 808 Picking the eolf winner is much tougher, where there are only two possible winners in the fight and only pine in the skiff haul there j are at least thirty golfers who rate a chance ♦* win at Winged Foot. TO BE SURF* BOBBY JONES IS THE BEST INDIVIDUAL RFT IN THE FIELD. BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM A POSITIVE WINNER. HE LOSES AS OFTEN AS HE WINS IN THE OPFN. AND THE FIELD DOESN’ T GET ANY SOFTER AS THE YEARS ROLL ON. THE FIELD LAST YEAR WAS MOPE FORMIDABLE THAN THE YEAR. BEFORE. AND THF ONE STARTING THURSDAY WILL _BE CORRESPONDINGLY HARDER B a a 1 THINK Id rather bet on Columbia to win on the Hudson by two lengths and Schmehng to stop the golf-plated Basque in five rounds than bet on Jones. Farrell. Hagen or any other single entry to win the open. e n a Golf Is still the most elusive and capricious of all games. There *s never any way of telling when an out lander will tear off one of those crazy rounds —mistakenlv identified as inspired golf—and spreadeagle the field.

OOTjF. to repeat. is tike that and .JONES. GREAT AS HE JS. DOES NOT FIGURE TO M AKE A HOLLOW JEST OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP. THOUGH TE ODDS MAKING HIM THE FAVORITE TO WIN. ARE CERTAINLY JUSTIFIED BY PAST PERFORMANCES IF HE IS NOT THE MAN THE BOYS WILL HAVE TO BEAT. HE IS AT LE AST ONE OF THEM. FOP ALL KNOW HE MAY BE ALL THIRTY OF THEM. Btttt TO get back to Schmeline ana Faolino: The cri+iral problem involved seem* quit*- elemental. It consists of this: Does the Germans righ hand carry enough force to bring the powerful wood chopper to the canvas? It is not hard to hit Paolino. Everybody has done it. And often. But nobody has hurt him. bob It Is easier to bit him in the body than on the jaw. but it is not impossible to hit him anywhere. Sehmeling may or may not be the hardest hitter he has faced. Otto Van Porat is a great hitter even if he does fight like a staid business man taking boxing instructions. The Oito tagged the Paolino on the potato a couple of times and shook him up. but that was all. Sehmeling may he able to hi* him harder, but I doubt it. BBS PAOLINO HAS NEVER BEEN AN IMPRESSIVE FIGHTER TO MF. WINNING OR lOW.G. HE IS A MAULING. CLAWING TYrE. BUT HE IS CAGEY. HAS HAD A LOT OP EXPERIENCE AND HE DOES NOT FIGURE TO WALK BLINDLY INTO THE SCHEMELING HAYMAKER. WHETHER HE CAN TAKE IT OR NOT.

John Hennessey Wins First Round Match in Wimbledon Meet

Nine Crews Compete in Big Regatta Columbia and California Favorites in Annua! Poughkeepsie Race. '' POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. June 24. !— A brilliant, rowing season reached i a colorful climax here today as nine superbly conditioned crews awaited | the word that was to send them ;down the Hudson river in a fourj mile battle for intercollegiate su- ! premacy. More than 100.000 persons were here for the races and it was impossible to estimate how many more might take their places along the sloping banks of the river before the freshman crews rowed two miles in the first of the three contests, at 3p. m. ( C. S. TANARUS.) At the. edge of the city the California crew rested before the race, ready to defend the championship it won by half a length last year from the Columbia eight. Columbia, ruling favorites, remained in their quarters near the starting point, prepared for valiant attempt to regain the honors won in 1927 over this same course. The other seven crews, Cornell, Washington. Navy. Syracuse, Massachusetts Tech, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania stayed in the seclusion of their respective quarters, reserving every ounce of energy for the grim | struggle at twilight. Columbia was made the favorite because of its undefeated record in four early season regattas and on the strength of its powerful, smooth stroke and expert oarsmanship. California was rated highly because its crew, too, was undefeated, and because of the. rugged strength apparent behind every sweep of the Golden Bears' oars.

Mrs C. A. McCaskey went up' for a little round at Broadmoor, where the women were to conclude their tournament Tuesday and got into conversation with George Soutar, genial pro there. George suggested this course would be idle today aod ready, as it always is, and thought maybe the women would rather play there today than to compete with the men at Highland. Mrs. McCaskev tipped off Mrs. D. S.

Tribe Holds Surprise Party and Defeats Millers in Double Bill Sunday Fans See Indians Make Killing With Burwell and Teacbout Baffling Invaders: Fourth Tilt Today.

Great was the joy at Washington park Sunday as Bruno Betzel’s Indians snatched a double header from the mauling Millers, 5 to 2, and 7 to 2. Coming right after the slaughter of Saturday, when the Hoosiers lost, 13 to 0, caused the fans to feel immensely tickled and the customers numbering about 4,500 had a great time kidding the visiting pastimers. The teams were to battle in the fourth of the series today and on Tuesday the fifth and last tilt will be staged and the* Indians then will go on the road, starting at Toledo Thursday. Wednesday is an offday. Today was “ladies’ and children's day” and the fact the Betzelites surprised everybody Sunday was expected to attract a big turnout this afternoon. Big Hand for Bill Burwell was given a big hand in Ihe first tilt Sunday when he allowed the second-place Minneapolis gang only four hits. He started the Saturday contest and was knocked out in the first inning and the fact he “came back” on the Sabbath and pitched brilliant ball proved he has the real baseball heart. Bud Teachout, lanky coast, southpaw, took the Tribe ipound in the second Sabbath encounter and after he got settled the Millers were baffled. He didn't permit a run after the second stanza and gave up only five safeties the last seven rounds. He was not found for even one extra base swat. Flint Rhem was bombarded by the Indians and gave way to a pinch hitter in the seventh, Joe Pate again finishing on the Miller mound. Joe had finished the first game for Southpaw Brillheart, Russell Poles Homer A home run by Reb Russell in the fifth inning of the nightcap was the high spot of the afternoon. Monahan was on base at the time and Reb sent the sphere on the line over the second fence in right field and small boys out in the railroad yard had a friendly scramble for it. It was one mighty wallop and the Minneapolis right fielder didn’t move out of his tracks when Russell connected for he knew by the sound the ball was long gone over the high barrier.

proven herself the class of the fillies —and she has performed in such a manner that they’re comparing her with Modesty, Yo Tambien and Regret, the great fillies of other days. * She became, queen Saturday, when she stepped away from the SIO,OOO Illinois Oaks field to min by five lengths, from such horses as Current and Altitude. Tt, was her sixth victory of th c season and the third important filly race she has won. Previously sb had taken the Asland Oaks at Lexington and the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs. Her time of 1:51 3-5 for the mile and an eighth Saturday was within a fraction of a second of the track record held by Fair Wind. Rose of Sharon is owned by former Senator Johnson N. Camden of Kentucky, but since the death of Mrs. Camden, several months ago. the Senator’s horses have been racing under the colors of his trainer. Dan E. Stewart. Her performance in the Illinois Oaks has gained for Rose of Sharon considerable backing in the $70,000 American classic to be run here next month. Her backers hope to see her responsible for a, similar upse* to the one which Modesty turned in many years ago in winning the American Derby. MAJOR HOMER LEADERS Dtt, -lants 20 O’Doill.
