Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June B.—A caller In Room 905 in my favorite hospital was Davis J. Walsh, the sports scrivener. With something of an apology he announced he had been out to the polo grounds to see t ball game. "John McGraw had the milliondollar infieid of his together for the first time—Terry, Critz, Jackson and Undstrom," announced Mr. Walsh. “How did the boys look?” “Like a million dollars—a million dollars in paper profits.” Darned droll these Lithuanians. nun Another caller wa* John Patrick Kilbane. the former world featherweight champion, now a well uphoUtered. plump gray haired rentleman of middle age.

Kilbane rame away wonder* Ing whether he likes the Boston man or not. a a a •'He boxes well for a big fellow.” said Kilbane. end he seems to know the difference between a feint and three yards of cotton muslin, but he does a lot of things In there that aren’t exactly perfect." •'For Instance?” •'Well. I don’t like the way he starts his left hook. He brings it down to his waist line and turns the upper part of his body in such a way as to leave him*elf wide open for a right-hand counter?” u n KILBANE was reminded that if Schmeling has anything besides a pair of fiatrfeet it is a right hand. “He has, eh? Well, if he can’t hit Sharkey with it he ought to quit fighting and start giving violin lessons.” "Then it looks as if the German will win?” “No, I’m not saying that. I’m Just saying that Sharkey is wide open for a right hand, and you never can tell,” In other words, Mr. Kilbane, like the rest of us, is in there guessing.
Frank Wykoff Sets World’s Mark to Take Sprint Crown Beats Simpson Two Yards in Century; Hoosier Runners Annex Honors in N. C. A. A'.
Bit United Press CHICAGO, June 9.—Curly-haired Frank Wykoff, the Southern Californian, took his place today at the head of the world's greatest sprinters. Wykoff achieved his honor last Saturday when for the second time this season he ran the 100-yard dash in 9.4 seconds, an unoffeial world's record, and beat the greatest field of sprinters ever assembled in one race without starting blocks. The coast star left behind him such men as George Simpson, the flashy Ohioan; Eddie Toppino, Eddie Tolan, holder of the present recognized world's record of 9.5 seconds; Claude Bracey and Cy Leland. He beat Simpson by two feet. Wykoff’s performance headlined the national collegiate A. A. track and field games, a meet which saw besides Frank's new mark, six new N. C. A. A. records broken, one world's record tied and one meet mark tied. The world's mark was tied when

MILLION-DOLLAR GATE PROSPECT FOR TITLE BOUT
3-Year-Old Stars Race at Chicago Gallant Fox Reported Out of Rich Derby; Whichone May Enter. Bu United Prrtn CHICAGO, June 9.—The $50,000 American Derby, in which the best of the country’s 3-year-olds are expected to compete next Saturday, monopolized discussions of horseracing fans today. Entering its twenty-second renewal, the race always has found the leaders of the 3-year-olds competing, and if efforts.of the management of Washington park to obtain the best this year receive the usual response the 1930 race will be no exception. Gallant Fox, the 3-year-old champion of the year, will not enter, William Woodward, the Colts owner, announced today. Whichone, juvenile champion last year, may start. The American Derby is the first of the Chicago district’s annual races for 3-year-old leaders. The next will come at the Arlington park meeting in July when the American classic, an event which offers a purse near the $90,000 mark is run. So far it is impossible to determine what horses will start next Saturday in the American Derby. It is probable that all the leading western horses will run, but the eastern entries probably won’t be known until tonight or Tuesday when word is to be received from the track representatives in the east as to what horses are coming.
Steve Anderson, Washington, stepped over the 120-yard high hurdles in 14.4 seconds. Two Hoosier stars grabbed title honors in the meet. Orval Martin, competing for the last time for Purdue, broke the meet record when he stepped the half-mile jn 1:54.1. Joe Sivak, Butler captain, ran a nice race to capture the mile run honors from a classy field. Tommy Wame of Kokomo, competing for Northwestern, established anew meet record of 13 feet 0V inches in the pole vault. Brocksmith and Clapham finished second and third in the two-mile run and Hatfield third in the high hurdles to give Indiana twenty points and eighth place. Notrfe Dame scored 10 v* points on Wilson’s fourth in the quarter, Little’s third in the half mile and Johnson’s tie for sixth place in the pole vault. Southern California won team honors with 57 17-70 points.

Let Brooklyn stay up near the top through July and you may hear of strikes, murders, riots and lynchings.

allowed the Cubs but four hits. Bud Teachout, former Indianapolis southpaw, was the losing hurler. Scoring eight runs in the second inning, the Braves defeated Pittsburgh, 10 to 6. Walter Berger, Braves’ rookie outfielder, hit his seventeenth home run of the season with two mates on base. Cincinnati and Philadelphia divided a double-header, the Reds winning the first game, 5 to 4, and the Phillies the second, 9 to 2. The Philadelphia Athletics increased their lead in the American League to two games by winning from the Chicago White Sox, 6-3, while Washington lost to Cleveland, 3-2. Cochrane's triple and Jimmy Foxx’s thirteenth homer featured the Athletics' fourrun rally off Ted Lyons in the fifth Inning. Wesley Ferrell won his own game by gettinr a single off Ad Liska, Washington underhand hnrler. It was Ferrell’s ninth victory of the season. Waite Hoyt won his first start for Detroit, beating the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, the game being called at the end of the sixth because of rain. Trailing 4-0 at the start of the eighth inning, the St. Louia Browns scored five runs and beat the New York Yankees. 5-4.

CLIMAXING hiS 3-year-old career with a smashing victory, William Woodward’s great bay colt, Gallant Fox, winner cf the Preakness and Kentucky Derby, ran away with the classic Eelmont stakes before 60,000 fans at Belmont park Saturday. He left his nearest rival, Whichone, Harry Payne Whitney’s juvenile champion last year, three lengths behind. Earl Sande again had the leg up on “The Fox,” and sent him out in front at the start to lead all the way and add $66,040 to his year’s winnings. Whichone was the favorite in the betting. The top photo shows Gallant Fox crossing the victory line, Whichone second and Questionnaire third. On the right are Joseph E.

TJASEBALL is Brooklyn’s, and every good citizen has made the team a personal proposition. Uncle Robbie gets scores of telephone calls every night, the customers rejoicing with him in victory and condoling or criticizing in defeat. There is a classical story about the earnestness of the Brooklyn fan. It happened in 1924 and the hated Giants were the Robins’ foes. Brooklyn had won fifteen games in

A few minutes before the game started boys who couldn’t get in used a telephone pole to batter down an exit in the center field wall. During the game one of the Giant sluggers slammed a long drive into left field. Zack Wheat went tearing after it. The crowd parted

Night Tilt Will Close Saint Stay J Free Gate for Women and Children; Sunday Twin Bill Divided. With the series standing two games to one against them, the Indians will battle the Saints in the windup of the set tonight beginning at 8 o’clock. It will be the second demonstration of night baseball and the return of warm weather is expected to produce the largest Monday crowd of the season. Women and children will be admitted free. The night Inaugural Saturday went to the Apostles, 1 to 0, with Jonnard and Betts engaging in a mound battle, and on the Sabbath afternoon a double-header was divided, the Corridenites taking the first, 13 to 4, and the visitors the second, 3 to 1. Bill Burwell coasted in during the opening tilt Sunday, but the breaks went against Elmer Ambrose and he lost despite the fact he held the Northmen to seven hits. Homer by Connolly Twice in the Sabbath finale the Tribesmen had the sacks filled only to have three runners left stranded, a home run by Connolly in the sixth giving the Indians their lone score. Southpaw Nekola slow-balled the home nine into submission, not a hit being made off him until after two out in the fourth. In the eighth inning with the bases loaded and two down, Wiley Moore relieved Nekola to retire Mike Cvengros, pinch hitting for Paul Wolfe, and that was all for the day because 6 o’clock was near and not enough time remained to start another stanza.
Barnhart Wallops Ball The Indians whacked out twenty hits in the twin bill opener, sixteen off Harriss in six rounds and four off Munn. Clyde Barnhart poled two home runs and came within inches of getting a third when Davis backed against the fence in the fifth to snare his long fly. Hoffman and Koenecke smote triples, and doubles were collected by Warstler and Freigau. In the hard-fought second game the Indians were placed in a bad spot by Umpire Osbern, who made a bad guess at the plate and called out Dorman when it was evident the runner was safe. Riddle uncorked a double to right center with Dorman on first and the latter went all the way home and was flat on the rubber when Grabowski tagged him. It was a swell break for the visitors. Attendance Saturday night was about 4,000 and the Sunday twin bill drew about the same number. Milwaukee will open a series here Tuesday night. MASTRO MEETS SPARKS CHICAGO, June 9.—Young Earl Mastro, one of the middle west’s best featherweights, meets Wards Sparks, Detroit, in a ten-round fight here Tuesday night. Mastro is favored to win.
dedraggled, scuffed, bruised. The ball? That never was found. The rivalry between small towns in a baseball way used to be one of America’s brightest institutions. Day by day, in most of the cities of the country, the fans have “grown up” and are able to take their baseball calmly and with nonchalance. But Brooklyn’s small boys never grow up. Baseball frenzy burns hotly there just as in the old *lays when Mudville and her bitterest enemy came to grips.

Sharkey in Top Shape for Scrap Public Interest Establishes Tilt on Championship Basis. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, June 9.—The public's response to the SharkeySchmeling bout, scheduled for Thursday night, has definitely established the affair upon a championship basis. Not only the demand for tickets, which threatened today to send the gate up above the million dollar mark, but the nation-wide interest in the fight assures the winner of genuine recognition as heavyweight champion of the world, successor to the long line of fistic heroes from John L. Sullivan down to Gene Tunney. When Jack Sharkey, the erratic Lithuanian, and Max Schmeling, solemn-faced, youthful German, first were matched for what purported to be a title bout, there was some doubt as to the public’s acceptance of the designation. It was apparent today, however, that the interest of fight fans everywhere is quite as keen regarding the outcome of this bout as was the case in most of the great championship encounters of the past. Champion Demanded Not that either Sharkey or Schmeling rates consideration with the great heavyweights of the past thirty-five years, but the game demands a champion, and Thursday s winner, if the outcome is decisive, will be acclaimed king of the ring. With the fight only four days off, there seemed to be a concerted effort on foot today to belittle Sharkey and declare his condition unsatisfactory. This should be taken with a grain of salt. The Lithuanian is in the capable hands of A1 Lacey, and we have it on the word of A1 that Sharkey will answer the opening bell fit for the fight of his life. Referee Discussed
Earlier in the training campaign, Sehmeling disappointed those who had hoped to find him a real won-der-man of the ring, one capable of upsetting precedent, laying off for a year and still coming back ready to fight fer the heavyweight title. Those who watched the German youth found him just an ordinary heavyweight. Sharkey is an 8-to-5 favorite. He figures to win, if he makes one of his best fights. The question of the referee now is being discussed. It is reported that the New York state commission has turned thumbs down on Lou Magnolia, who would have been the logical choice had he not made such a mess of things when Sharkey fought Phil Scott at Miami.
