Talking It Over B\ JOE WILLIAMS
Philadelphia. June 23— in this C.cy of Quakers tonight, in %n open-faced roped abattoir pitched over the infield of the National League ball club's park, two of the largest blood sweating animals known to the prize fight racket will bounce against each other in a ten-round guess-what. I refer to this delightful little affair of the fists as a “guess-what” because it seems to be precisely that. To begin with, one of the principals is Signor Camera and the boys have been guessing on him ever since he was imported last winter by the clique of Broadway manipulators and booked for r dry tank tour of the sucker celt. a a a Moreover, the other principal is old George Godfrey who took up the business •f black menacing after Harry Wills, aided and encouraged by Tammany politicians, had squeezed close to a quarter of a million dollars out of the racial hoax. Old George Is supposed to be a great fighter, but nobody ever saw him make a great fight. As it was with Wills, you are always told that old Negro can't afford to cut loose. “If he does none of the whites grill fight him.” nan Furthermore, there is the sordid matter of legitimacy as applied to this stirring spectacle. The Primo has an unholv name. He has been crudely handled bv Broadway smart guvs. All of his opponents have been hand picked. Most of them have been round heel hooligans. a a a SOME of the battered derelicts they tossed to the Primo were legitimate push-overs. When he was able to win on his own steam naturally he was permitted to do so. But when he showed signs of blowing up there was always an alert conspirator around to help him. non A., for instance, in the embarrassing death grapple with Bombo Chevalier, Negro battler In Oakland. Cal., who not only refused to dive into the canvas sea with Its glistening resin shore but rave every evidence of sticking around for the finish. Fossibly for the Primo’s finish. n n n But this was not destined to be because the Primo's handlers had planted an agent in the Negros corner to Ruard against Just such a contingency and at the proper and precise moment this agent tossed in a towel conceding defeat for the Negro. nun IT was a pretty raw piece of work, of course, but effective, since it kept the Primo’s knockout string Intact. Aside from the towel incident. the fight seemed to have been conducted more or less on the square, and my deductions from it were that if the Primo could not win from a fifth-rater, he must be just awful. n n n The Camera mob. guaranteed *30,000. win, lose or fiasco, resents any intimation that their young giant, known variously as the Vagabond Shover. the Venetian Valentine. the Human Sea Cow and the Nomadic Nightmare, needs any outside assistance to win. tt n tt "All or Camera's fights have been on the sauare." insists Billy Duffy, the nißht club man. "He is really a great fighter. He will belt Godfrey out in two or three rounds as sure as you ore a foot and three inches high." tt n n OLD George is managed by James Dougherty, picturesquely called the Baron of Lieperville. Dougherty is a shrewd gent with quizzical eyes and a glib tongue. He has been In the racket for a great number of years. He refereed the Dempsey-Gibbons fight out in Montana. He was Dempsey’s man. TRIANGLES TRIP KOKOMO Bu Time* Special KOKOMO, Ind.. June 23.—Indianapolis Triangles avenged an early season defeat by walloping the local Black cats, 7-4, Sunday in ten innings. Rose, Triangle outfielder, hit a home run with two mates on the paths in the tenth inning. Eddleman, on the mound for the Triangles, allowed but seven scattered hits, striking out eight batsmen. Next Sunday Triangles play at Connersville.
Corridenites Annex Double Bill Despite Misfit Lineup Indians Compelled to Use Pitcher on Second and Catcher on Third: Dorman Punishes Ball.
Bu Times Special KANSAS CITY. Mo., June 23. After dropping the series opener here Saturday. 11 to 5. with both Dyer and Walter Wolf taking a bombardment, the Indians of Johnny Corriden grabbed both ends of Sunday's double header, 6 to 4 and 17 to 13. The twin victory on | the Sabbath boosted the Tribesmen L to fourth place in the standing as I Columbus dropped a pair to Min- ■ neapolis. 9 Both clubs punished the ball SunLday and the crowd was given plenty ™of entertainment in the way of base hits, each team collecting eleven L blows : i the first tilt and in the Lsecond the Indians got twenty and lthe Blues nineteen. Red Dorman, former Blue, poled eight hits, two ■n the first and five in the second, fund or Saturday he got two, giving Vim ten safeties in three games. Me socked two triples in the Sabbkth nightcap. (Ambrose went the entire route Sunday to win the 6 to 4 game, but it took both Cvengros and Jonnard to battle the Cowboys in the wild 17 to 13 fracas. Kansas City used six hurlers. three in each encounter. Tom Sheehan batted for Maley in the fifth round of the second conflict and walloped a home run with Smith on base. Clarence Hoffman poled a homer for the Tribe. Manager Corriden and Rabbit Warstler were banished during the night cap for disputing a decision on the bases and it forced another change in the misfit lineup. Paul Wolfe, playing third in place of Freigau, was spiked in the first clash and catcher Johnny Riddle finished on third during that game and played the hot corner all through the windup fray And when Warstler was banished, Connolly was shifted to short and Bill Burwcll, veteran hurler, filled in at second The Indians' regular third-sacker, Howard Freigau. was overcome by the terrific heat following Saturday's game and was compelled to remain in bed over the week-end. The attending doctor said Howard probably would be compelled to remain inactive until the Indians reach cool weather in the north, where they go after Tuesday. It was a strange looking lineup out there on the field, with a pitcher on second, a catcher on third and a •econd sacker playing short. All the

Fans Skeptical Over Battle of Bing Giants; Doubt Scrap on Level Primo’s Proper Place Among Title Contenders May Be Solved; Negro Heavy Confident He Will Whip Big Italian. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Snort* Editor PHILADELPHIA, June 23.—The most perplexing problem of the present-day prize ring, the place properly to be occupied by Primo Camera, may be solved in the Phillies’ ball park here tonight. Old Gawge Godfrey, gnawing on his second fried chicken at his training quarters Sunday night, allowed as how he had the “salutation” to that one. "I’ll bus’ dis big Eyetalian bubble all over No’th Philadelphia,” promised Gawge, doubling a massive black fist around a drum stick.

MERION f CRICKET CLUB, HAVERFORD, Pa., June 23.—One hundred and three of the finest collegiate tennis players in the country, representing forty-five colleges and twenty-three states, were scheduled to start play here today in the annual intercollegiate tennis championships. Julius Seligson of Lehigh university, the 1928 title-holder, has been seeded No. 1 in the absence of Berkley Bell, University of Texas, who won in 1929, and Gregory Mangin of Georgetown, runner-up last year. Bell and Mangin are in Europe with the United States Davis cup team. Bruce Barnes, University df Texas, is seeded No. 2. PLEASANT RUN WINS Pleasant Run golf team defeated Riverside Sunday, 74% to 45%, at Pleasant Run. Fosdick Goodrich of the winners had the best score with a 73. followed by Ed Urich of Riverside with a 74.
more surprising was the fact the weakened roster triumphed twice.

New Tribe Outfielder Said to Be Fast
Foy Frazier, outfielder obtained by the Indians on option from the Pirates, played with Oakland in the Coast League last year and bought his own release from the Oaks this spring, presumably at the Pirates’ instigation. He starred at Oakland high school and is not yet 21. He was recommended to Pittsburgh by scout Joe Devine, who picked up the Waner boys. Frazier bats lefthanded and throws right, weighs about 170 and is swift in the pastures. Foy is a family name. His batting average with Oakland last season was .265. His batting average for twenty-six games in the International League this year was .300. He was at training camp with the Pirates and later was sent to the International with strings attached.
I But fight experts and fans gathered here from nearby cities are not so sure that Godfrey will do anything of the sort. First of all, they want to know whether tonight’s ten-round bout is going to be on the level. A majority seems to be frankly skeptical. Neither Above Suspicion : These two heavyweights, reprei renting between them approximately ! a quarter of a ton of bone and | muscle and excess avoirdupois, are going to be watched with extremely critical eyes. Frank skepticism is not impertinent in this instance, as neither Camera, the 278-pound Franco-Italian, nor Godfrey, the 244-pound Senegambian, has been above suspicion in the past. Camera has been schooled to slap down his opponents with relish and gusto; Godfrey has had to leam to waltz his gingerly around. Whether the big boys are going to be able to get together in their act remains to be seen. There are those who believe that Godfrey, unleashed, with his customary “handcuffs” left in the dressing room and a big, broad, 278pound white man to work out on, will become a raging demon and crush the hapless Primo. This is the Godfrey myth, that Gawge is really the uncrowned heavyweight champion of the world. Schmeling to Attend On the other hand, there are those who believe that Camera is a far better fighter than his slap-stick work against a string of set-ups has led us to believe. This coterie contends that Primo, who can step around fast, and who is beginning to learn a mild form of left jab, can outbox Godfrey, wear him down, knock him out, and be in a position to mrl challenges at Maxie Schmeling himself. Schmeling will be at the ringside to see for himself, while it looks as though a capacity crowd would fill the ball park. There are so many angles to the affair, with so much to be learned about, two interesting heavyweights, that the fight is well worth all this attention.

Conner of Yale in the hammer throw and Churchill of California in the javelin throw were other unanimous choices.

It is figured they probably could run the event in 3:10, breaking all existing records. Outstanding in track happenings during the pr.st season was the increase in popularity shown and the development of better distance runners who probably will aid America’s cause in the 1932 Olympiad at Los Angeles.
