Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK July 13 —This fellow Cole, who knows all those millionaires by their first names, is back in town. He and Humbert—or is it Humbug?—Guphzv, the Brooklyn promoter, signed Dempsey to act as their promoter. They gave him S4O 000 and premised to produce an outdoor arena in June, and when they didn’t Dempsey decided they weren't going to get. anywhere, so he up and quits, as was his legal and rightful out. "I th : nk should have etuek with us” says Cole, “but I don't know what I ran do about 1L I have his signed contract, but $40,000 teems a let of monev to pay for an ex-champion’s autograph.’’ a b a PE*HAPS IT IS BUT COLE GOT OPT CHEAP MAYBE HE NEVER HEARD OF THE EXPERIENCE OF A T WEISBERG.

Fitzsimmons lives out that way and always stops at the Oliver where they have 800 rooms and baths, whether you need them or not. B B B I Weisberg is a fight nut. Fitzsimmons is a self-confessed promotor. He has always supposed himself to be “juri like that” with the Dempsey fellow. “Why don’t you put on a fight,” suggested Fitzsimmons. “I’ll get Dempsey for you. You get Harry Wills. It will be another Jolin-aon-Jeffries thing.”

Loughran Confident of Victory Over Braddock Next Thursday
17 Stars in Rich Classic at Arlington Rose of Sharon Most Colorful Horse in Turf Feature. B'i t yvted Peru CHICAGO. July 13 —Seventeen of the turf's aristocrats were to meet here today in the $75,000 American classic. As some 60.000 persons gathered at Arlington Park, six horses were looked upon as the probable winners. These included Clyde Van Dusen. Dr. Fr°eland. Blue Larkspur. Rose of Sharon, Windy City and Grey Coat. Perhaps that most colorful horse in the race was Rose of Sharon. The filly that has not won any of the really big races, but that fact can’t be held as a black mark for her time has been devoted to competing in the Oaks races for fillies. Four victories in the Oaks stamped Rose of Sharon as the best of the fillies. Rose of Sharon’s consistent running prompted many to back her today for there were those who wanted consistency and the colts have been anything but consistent. There was another switch in the betting Friday night when it was learned an abundance of sand in the Arlington track created a possibility that the course, a quagmire only Friday morning, might be fast by this afternoon. The betting change reinstalled Blue Larkspur as favorite at odds of 5 to 2. Rose was second choice at 3 to 1. Clyde Van Dusen went up to 4 to 1. and Grey Coat was quoted at 8 to 1. Windy City, Dr. Freeland and the Three D’s stock farm entry were quoted at odds ranging from 5 to 1 to 8 to 1. Mack Garner came from New York to ride Blue Larkspur; Pony McAtee was to handle Clyde Van Dusen. Earl Pool was to pilot Windy City. Charley Allen will ride Rose of Sharon. Steve O’Donnell was to look over the ears of Grey Coat, and Tony Pascuma was to pilot Folking.

Tommy Laughs at Suggestions of Him Being ’Washed Up.’ FEARS WEIGHT LIMIT Champ Certain He Can Beat Contender. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent HOOSICK FALLS. N. Y., July 13. —The theory that Tommy Loughran is “all washed up” and ready to topple over the first time he is hit solidly on the chin is a big laugh
to the world's light- heavyweight champion, who is in training here for the sixth defense of his crown, against young James J. Braddock at Yankee stadium next Thursday night. “All those who say I'm an old worn-out veteran are simply talking about

Braddock
something they don’t know any- ; thing about,” Lougharn said today i in discussing his condition. “I have had the benefit of years of experience, but I’m still a yooung man,” Tommy said. “I won’t be 28 until November and I'm far from through. “The important thing is that my body is young and that’s what will win for me against Braddock. Despite all of the good men I have fought, few have punished me and I have been through many fights without ever receiving a damaging blow. ‘‘My style of fighting makes it possible for me to go through the harest of bouts and take the minimum amount of punishment. I Have been knocked down five times but have never had ten counted j over me.” “If Braddock succeeds in knocking me down,” Loughran said. “I’ll get up and beat him to a pulp. I have always fought my hardest when I’m hurt.” Loughran does not under-rate Braddock but thinks the young Jersey City boy is still a few years away. “In three or four years I think Bri ddock will be a leading contender for the heavyweight championship.” Tommy said. ‘‘l don’t think he will ever win the lightheavyweight title and least of all from me. The thing Braddock needs is experience, and this fight, even though he loses it, will do him a world of good.” The thing Loughran fears most is not Braddock, but making the weight limit of 175 pounds. Frankly, the light-heavyweight champion admits that he is still above 180 pounds and those last few pounds he takes off may weaken him. “This may be the last time I’ll ever make 175 pounds,” Loughran said. “I’ll make it all right enough but it’s too dangerous to keep up.” 1
Heydler Lets Off Hack Wilson With Only Light Reprimand for Scrap And That Gives Cub Star the Verdict Over Entire Cincinnati Club; Ail in Favor of Chicagoan.
BY WILLIAM J. DUNN, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 13.—Hack Wilson, hard-hitting Chicago outfielder, today had added a clean-cut victory over the entire Cincinnati ball club to his equally clean-cut knockout victory over Pitcher Peter Donohue of the Reds, July 4. Tempered only by a miid reprimand, Wilson today had won complete exoneration on charges preferred by the Cincinnati club, that he had made an “unjustifiable and brutal assault” on Pete. In an official statement issued late Friday, John A. Heydler, league president, cleared Wilson of the charges, merely advising the impetuous outfielder to confine his slugging to the ball. And in the process of exonerating Wilson. Heydler made it clear that his decision was based on evidence that indicated that Donohue was facing Hack at the time of the assault and had an opportunity to defend himself. Which seems little more than an

Virginia turned out more leaders than any other state in the Union. Two of the leaders in educational circles in the south are the two institutions located at Lexington, Washington and Lee university and Virginia Military institute. Both of these schools not only are the foremost institutions of their kind, but are rich in tradition. Washington and Lee was built in 1776. General Robert E. Lee was its president J mmediately following the Civil war and his tomb is on the campus. The school is entirely free from undue political influence, intolerant prejudices, and is one of the finest universities in America. Virginia Military Institute ranks second only to West Point and Annapolis in standings of schools of its kind. General Stonewall Jacksen was a professor at V. M.

admission on the part of the league head that ball players will be ball players and that a fair fight is no cause for too rigid discipline. The Wilson-Donohue incident, it will be remembered, was only a brief argument in the Union depot, Chicago, which ended when Wilson placed his closed fist firmly in the flushed face of Peter and sent him sprawling on the platform. It was the outgrowth of an earlier argument which featured Wilson and Pitcher Ray Kolp of the Reds at the Chicago ball field that same afternoon. Both arguments and resultant exhibitions of fisticuffs were promptly checked by other players who, incidentally, were praised by Heydler for interfering as they did, instead of jumping in and making it an old-fashioned free-for-all. In the first instance it appeared that uncomplimentary remarks issuing from the Cincinnati dugout, while Wilson was at the plate, sent him in quest of Kolp's scalp.

bounced off the mound by Toledo bats. Love relieved Speece in the eighth with one out and runners on third and second, caused Redfern to be retired at the plate on Koehler’s grounder to Connolly and then forced Ruble to send a short fly to Layne. The Hens needed only one run to tie, and failing to get it in the eighth they tried to rally again after two out in the ninth. Works on McCurdy Veach batted for Hayworth and singled, and reached third on Smith’s single. McCurdy swung for Parmelee, and after fouling one over the right field fence Love worked on him and put enough spin the sphere to cause the pinch hitter to pop to Warstler, ending the game. It was ‘‘ladies’ and kids’ day,” and the crowd was well-entertained, especially by Warstler, who crashed a home run over the low fence in left field in the third, driving in Sprinz, who had driven in Matthews and Layne a moment before. Stroner and Connolly batted in the other Indian markers in the fifth. Toledo had thirteen runners left stranded and the home team nine. Schupp. Tribe starting hurler, was credited with the victory.

There's no mercy in baseball. The first time Ollie Bejma, Tribe rookie outfielder, faced Parmelec Friday the Hen pitcher cut loose with the old duster to drive the youth back. Be.ima singled in the third inning and on his third plate appearanee he was struck by a fast pitch. The lad turned in a good catch on Brown in the second an and made a fine throw in the seventh to nail Ruble at third on Rosenfeld’s single to right. Koehler. Hen center fielder, can throw. He pegged out two Indians at third when they tried to go from first to third on singles to his territory. Rosenfeld had a peculiar day. He reached first four in five times on a walk and three hits and was forced at second three times and caught stealing once. Matthews mads a swell scoop of Smith's single in the ninth and barely missed getting Veacb sliding into third. Bud Connolly was all eyes at the plate and had a perfect day with two walks, a single and double. Stroner’s double in the fifth want to deep center over Koehler's head. Stroner is bothered by a bad leg and running is an effort. He also got a single. Trainer Pierce has given Bejma a name the fans understand. He calls the rookie "Pajama.” Stealing was a popular plav of tbe series opener, the Hens pilfering three times and the Indians twice. Manager Stengel of the Hens, re-instated Friday morning after an indefinite suspension, was banished in the fourth along with Hugh McQuillan, for finding fault with Umpire Johnson's rulings. Scout Eddie Herr of the New York Yankees viewed the contest and it was presumed he was present to watch Parmelee. Hen pitcher. And Parmelee got nervous, walking seven, hitting one and having one wild pitch. The Indians got ten hits and Toledo eleven. The first game of Sunday’s twin bill will start at 2 p. m. Pitcher Jess Doyle, right-hander, purchased from Toronto by Toleda. was expected to Join the Hens today. Doyle was on the Detroit staff for a time.

Fistic Heads to Appoint Boxing Czar Ring Commissioner to Be Named Before End of Year, BY FRANK GETTY United Prus Sports. Editor (Copyright, 1929. by United Press) NEW YORK, July 13—A boxing commissioner, to have supreme authority over the fistic industry sVilar to that exercised over basebaN by Judge Ker.esaw M. Landis, will be appointed before the end of the present year.
The New York state athletic commission, which controls boxing in this state, is sending out feelers to commissions in ether states where boxing is conducted on a large scale and there is little doubt that agreement will be reached upon the appointment of a “Czar” of the cauliflower profession. No better move could have been made to stabilize the business of fisticuffs. It represents a concession on the part of the New York commission. which has advanced the proposition. It may well prove to be the most important step yet taken in the advancement of boxing. The case of Max Schmeling, recognized as the outstanding heavyweight contender, yet under suspension in New York State, because of his refusal to engage in a match with Phil Scott of England, arranged by a manager the German boxer disowns, precipitated the decision to ask the boxing commissions of several states to get together and agree upon a “Judge Landis." Carey conferred with the New York commisison Friday and afterwards tacitly admitted that Madison Square Garden, as incorporated in some state other than New York, will promote a heavyweight bout between Schmeling and Jack Sharkey this coming fall. Probably the bout will be held in Detroit. Carey is not giving out his plans for the moment. The main thing is that he is going to promote the affair outside of the state of New York. Since it obviously is impossible for a supreme high commissioner of boxing to be agreed upon and appointed by the interested states before September, the new “czar” will come as a secondary, but most important step, following the election of anew heavyweight titleholder.

over Gilbert Carter, University of Missouri golf captain, of Nevada'Mo. Moe had played 131 holes of golf during the present tourney and until the last six holes of his Friday match with John Lehman, Gary, Ind., was three strokes under par. On the last six holes of that match Moe lost five strokes to par, but even then was only two strokes over par for the 131 holes. The tall, smiling Portland boy was tourney medalist with a par equaling card of 144 for thirty-six holes and in his match play has shot consistently good golf. Carter barely qualified for championship play with a total of 154 and in his 103 holes of match play has been twenty-nine strokes over par, making him thirty-nine strokes over par for the 139 holes he has played in the present tourney. In only cne match, his second round contest with Art Ecklund of Wichita. Kan., has Carter played anything like championship golf. He was even par for sixteen holes, but in his other matches he has been far above par, winning because his opponents shot even higher scores. Moe easily is the best shot maker in the tournament. A comparison of the cards of the two players in their semi-final matches against John Lehman and Art Sweet shows that Moe would have beaten Carter 10 and 9 had they been paired Friday.
