Talking It Over ; V*ITB JOE WILLIAMS

New York., Aug. 2. JOE SEWELL is on his way to a nev endurance in baseball. The Cleveland veteran is the iron man of rnMern Infielders. The r ar ' he played in agamst the Red Sox Thursday brought his total of consecutive games up to 1,037. Nr other player in either league is close to this figure for day in and day, out punching of the time clock. Sewell is steady as rain in the tropics and punctual as the tides. a a a . Even so. he Is still more than a full teaton away from the all-lime enduranee record of baseball.. Esrrett Scott who used to shortstop for the Red Sox and the Yankees played 1,807 ball games In a row. He started on June 20. 1916 and didn't stop until May 5, 1925. 808 Up till then he thought he had picked out a reliable, dependable occupation. He sn a v*ry surprlred young man when ' Miller Huggins came to him one day and j told him to watch the ball game from j the bench. Huggins was catering to one j of those popular managerial superstitions. The Yankees weren't winning. Bom.e- j thing had to be done. Huggins got the notion that a stranger at shortstop might ! help matters. BUB SCOTT had been playing the position so long he threatesed to become a permanent part of the landecape, like the flag pole in center, the score board and the foul lines. ! Bcott once rode fifty miles in a taxicab to keep his string of consecu--tive games unbroken. Visiting his home on an off-day, his train, coming back, leaped the track and left j bim stranded quite a distance from Chicago. It was about three hours before game time. He climbed into cab and set out for Comiskey park. By the time he arrived there even the meter had cracked under jthe strain. The bill was S3O. BBS Th Incident was played up In the nr<ipwpers aa unique, extraordinary and renarkable. It was on all three counts. Very few professional ball players will pav a* much as a dime to get into a ball i game. B B tt SEWELL HAS 270 GAMES TO GO BE- j fORE EQUALING SCOTTS RECORD. WITH AN EVEN BREAK IN THE LUCK, PEACE IN THE BALKANS AND A MINIMUM OF SUN SPOTS HE FIGURES TO GET THERE EARLY IN JUNE. 1931. 6TICK AROUND GUS. IT WILL BE FUN. L B a AS a matte • of fact Sewell should have pas. ed Scott’s record last month, and would have done so if Tris Speaker, then manager of the Clevelands, hadn't succumbed to a superstition, similar to that which caused Huggins to remove Scott from the lineup. Back in September, 1920. Sewell came up from New Orleans to take the place of Ray Chapman, the brilliant shortstop who was killed by a pitched ball by Carl Mays. Sewell played twenty- j one games in a row that fall. He played all the 154 games the following season. In September of 1922, when Sewell had not missed a game. Cleveland got into a lugu- ; brious slump. B tt B Speaker resorted to the eonvenfional managerial device in such circumstances: ! he benched the regulars and snrinkled the lawn with bench warmers. Sewell was out for two days. When he returned he . played regularlv. not mising a game since, ] but the two days that he was out kept : him from passing Scott's record in July —a record incidentally which the boys •aid never would he broken. a a a A BALLPLAYER HAS TO HAVE UNUSU- i AL LUCK TO HOLD HIS PLACE IN THE LINEUP CONTINUOUSLY OVER A j STRETCH OF YEARS. HE HAS TO ' HAVE LUCK IN ESCAPING INJURIES AND ILLNESS.

Challenger's Chance Rests on Ability to Put Over Haymaker

Most of Fistic Wiseacres Think Champ Mandeil Too Clever for Canzoneri: Weight Question Still Bothers Sammy, However, as Battle Nears. BY BERT DEMBY United Pres staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Aug. 2.—Sammy Mandell’s left hand seems destined to prevent him irom losing the lightweight boxing title to Tony Canzoneri in the Chicago stadium tonight. Most of the money and most of the opinion has been wagered and expressed that way and the day of battle found only the smiling Italian challenger and a small coterie of followers willing to support the other side of the issue.

How They Compare

[ II a 1 vitrri pre** CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Here’s how the two principals in tonight's fight for the lightweight championship compare: * MANDELL CANZONERI 25 Age 22 135 pounds Weight 133 pounds sft. fP, m Height sft. 5 3 in. eg in Reach 66 3 in. 15 in Neck 15 in. 36 in Chest 36 in. 38 in Chest iExp.l 33 in. 28 in Waist 30 In. 12', in Biceps 13'* in. il in Forearm 11 in. 18 In Thigh 19 In. 13 in Caif 134i In Star Welter at Harrison Burns to Meet De Marco Tuesday: Other Scraps. Johnny De Marco. Philadelphia, and Benny Burns, Cleveland, meet in the top ‘’ten’’ on the double windup card Tuesday at Ft. Harrison. Vincent Hambright, originally scheduled to meet De Marco, was injured in an auto accident and will not be able to box. Both De Marco and Burns are said to be aggressive maulers and Capt Frank Schucker, “punch bowl’’ matchmaker, who has seen both in action, asserts the scrap should be a “natural.” Burns is scheduled to oppose Tommy Freeman, prominent welter, in Cleveland. Aug. 15. De Marco has met such mit tossers as A1 Winkler, Roxie Allen. Emery Cubana and Harry Kid Wallace within the past twelve months. The lower ten rounder Tuesday will see Frankie Palmo, Cincinnati, and Tod Smith. Akron, 0., re-ap-pearinu at the fort. They staged a lively six-round scrap here two weeks ago. Newspapers were divided in their decisions. Schucker plans a strong supporting card of two bouts of six rounds and a prelim of four rounds. First bout starts at. 8:30. Athletics Now Rule at 10 to 2 Pu I nited Press NEW YORK, Aug. 2—The following commissions on major league pennant contenders were reported here by W. L. Darnell & Cos., Broadway betting commissioners, as follows: Ten thousand dollars to $2,000 that the Athletics win the American League pennant.

peating as champ. Miss Lou Adams, will not be in the battle, having gone to the lakes for a vacation. a a a Miss Kathryn Abbott, her m"ther, Mrs. M. J. Abbott. Mrs. William Ba. ere. Mrs. Ben C. Stevenson, Miss Ruth White and probably Mrs. Marjorie Fischer Kahn will be entrants and likely qualifiers in the championship flight. Mrs. C. A. Kelley Jr., secretary of the association announced today entries will be accepted right up to the last minute Monday. B tt a HARRY SCHOPP is going to stage an invitational tournament for women the latter part of August with anew scheme involved. Written invitations will be sent out asking women of the city to play in \ the meet and compete with players of their own ability. A large assortment of prizes will be awarded. BBS Schopp informs us that the police team has a real golfer in Carl Heckman. Heckman was a caddy at South Grove and Thursday demonstrated he still knew the course and rounded the eighteen in '7. According to Schonp he was watching I Heckman at the sixteenth tee and the “copper'' drove one that didn’t stop until it had gone beter than 300 yards. B B B The "coppers" also have a southpaw on their team. Delong has been at the game or.lv a short time but he scored a 92 while playing with Heckman. BBS Paul Rorhford. who is sitting as special judge while municipal Jud|e Clifton R. Cameron is on vacation, joined with his wife in the golf game and started taking lessons from Schopp. They are early morning golfers. BBS E. C. Hamer, real estate salesman from Long Beach.

Overnight Mandeil had become a 2 , 2-to-l favorite despite heroic attempts on the part of Promoter Harmon to pack a capacity crowd of 25,000 into his giant west side stadium by calling it anybody’s fight. Tony's one chance of taking the championship away from Mandeil is to get inside the title holder’s left hand in an early round with a knockout blow. Otherwise the superior boxing ability of Mandeil will wear Tony down and Sammy’s arm will be raised in victory on points after the tenth and last round. May Open Up Mandeil realizes that Chicagoans pay their money to see hard hitting instead of fancy boxing. With this in mind there is a strong likelihood he* will try as hard for a knockout In the later rounds as his opponent. Contrary to popular opinion Sammy has a punch with power in it. He is prepared to use it if he can do so without laying himself open to the stomach punches on which Canzoneri is pinning so much hope for victory. Mandeil rolled out of bed this morning still one and one-half pounds overweight, but announced he would weigh in at 2 p. m., eight hours before the fight, at the lightweight limit of 135. Takes Morning Workout Drastic measures may be necessary afetr Sammy's light workout this morning, but the eight-hour interval between weighin'- in and fighting will give him time to put the weight back on. Canzoneri. weighing 133 pounds, skipped the rope a few minutes today. Advance sale of seats in Harmon’s combination fight center and music hall, with its elevated seats and not-a-post-in-the-house reputation, totaled $130,000, and scalpers were asking as high as SIOO for seats inside the first ten rows. The sky was the limit for seats in the first five rows.

Believed Chicago Papers Will Broadcast Fight

P.y Time* Special CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Ringside radio broadcasting of the MandellCanzoneri lightweight title fight tonight at Chicago stadium has been banned by Promoter Harmon. The promoter feels radio cuts down attendance. It is presumed, however, that one or more Chicago papers will broadcast their own ringside reports.

Bauman Enters Speed Events at Gardens Sunday

Dutch Bauman of Indianapolis Thursday entered the races which will be held Sunday at Walnut Gardens Speedway. Local race fans were of the opinion that his entry at Walnut Gardens was occasioned by his eagerness to compete against Ira Hall, of Terre Haute. Last Sunday at Winchester, the Terre Haute pilot set anew mark of 24 2-5 seconds for a single lap of a half-mile course, breaking the mark formerly held by Bauman. Unusual interest is being exhibited in Sunday’s races, because of the close rivalry existing between Hall and Bauman. A large crow r d of Terre Haute race fans has reserved tickets for the races Sunday to support Hall. Harry A. Earl, manager of the Walnut Gardens track, reported that twenty entries have been received for the four races. Three of the events will be for five miles and one over a fifteen-mile course. Only sixteen cars will be allowed to start. Qualifying trials of four laps will decide the position of the sixteen fastest cars. Frank Sweigart, Benny Benefiel, Earl Farr and A1 Gulley are other entrants, who are looked upon as strong competitors. Quarter-Final Matches Start Third round and quarter-final matches in men's singles were to be played today in the Brookside tennis tourney. Play in men’s doubles is to start Saturday, entries closing Friday night. Results of Thursday’s games were: —Men's Singles— J. Meunier defeated Crabb, default; J. Rhodehamer defeated G. Grenz. 7-5, 9-7; B- Lang defeated F. Dale. 10-8. 6-0, 6-0; P. Meunier defeated R. Coble 3-6, 6.1, 6-0; R. West defeated E. Virt, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1; M. Christopher defeated A. W. Fournace. 6-3. 6-2: H. Justers defeated G. Horst. 6-3, 6-3 E. Lowerv defeated T. White, 6-2, 6-2. —Juniors’ Singles— H. Martin defeated Lentz. 6-4, 6-1. RIPPLE MAT MATCHES Two of four wrestling bouts carded for Broad Ripple Monday night have been arranged. In the main go to a finish Cowboy Jones will meet Elmer Guthrie and in another encounter Henry Burke, Montana, will grapple Bobby Chick, Texas.

Doeg to Play Williams in Court Finals Youth, Veteran Gain Last Round by Upsetting Favorites at Seabright. SEABRIGHT, N. J., Aug. 2. John Doeg. 20-year-old California youngster, and R. Norris Williams, 38-year-old veteran of Philadelphia, were to meet on the Tennis and Cricket Club courts here today for the thirty-sixth annual Seabright singles championship. The finalists gained the right to play today in as net a pair of upsets as ever startled a tournament gallery. Doeg flashed a brilliant service to defeat Berkeley Bell, cf Da’las, Tex., 6-4, 6-4, while perfect half volleys were responsible for Williams’ unexpected victory over Norman Farquharson of South Africa, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3. There were no favorites as the pair met today. Doeg had youth and stamina on his side but this appeared evenly offset by the experience and court strategy at Williams’ command. Doeg is playing his second season of major competition while Williams was national champion fifteen years ago. The defeat of Bell was the outstanding surprise of the tournament. The newly crowned intercollegiate champion was expected to win the title. There were no surprises in the women’s play, however. Miss Helen Jacobs, second ranking woman star, won. as expected from Miss Marjorie Morrill in straight sets, while Miss Edith Cross, third in the women's list, disposed of Mrs. L. A. Harper. Miss Jacobs and Miss Cross will meet for the title now held by the former, Saturday. ILLINOIS ELECTS Richard Martin of Winnetka, 111., who was No. 1 on the varsity golf team this year, has been elected captain of the University of Illinois golf team for 1930.

WITH THE BIG LEAGUERS

Adam COMOROSKY scored three men with a triple in the third inning at Pittsburgh Thursday and boosted the Pirates to thenfirst victory in four starts. Philadelphia was the victim and the score was 3 to 1. Both teams made six hits. Jess Petty pitched for the winners and surprised everybody by going the full route. B B tt The Cubs were held to three hits by Guy Cantwell but beat the Braves, 1 to 0.

WHO can remember the days when the women didn’t go to track meets because the men were bare-legged? Things have changed, however, for here is Rena MacDonald of Boston, who broke the women’s record in the eight-pound shot put division when she heaved the iron 42 feet 3 inches at the National A. A. U. women’s track and field meet at Chicago. The old record was 40 feet.

forty-four games short of the American League mark of 416 games, held by Walter Johnson, and 139 short of the life-time record of 511 held by Cy Young who pitched in both leagues. Alex allowed eleven hits Thursday but kept them too well scattered to be of much use to Brooklyn. No bases on balls or wild pitches marred his performance.
