Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. July 1. The Broadway gentleman who is known as Dumb Dan Morgan was giving the boys a fill-in on anew heavyweight he is fcr.ng ng along. ‘‘You ought to see this fella work; he's got everything. A swell left hook, a swell right cross, plenty of heart and he steps around like a lightweight " “Yeah, but can he foul?” coldwatcred the practical and modern Mr. Joe Humphreys. a u a fWltin* In the elnb r * r Ustrnlni Georie Enrel talk about the first T/inner - Grtb Debt. •This was bark In 1922 Tonrer bid tahrn the American llebt beasrweiibt championship >*>t from old Bat Lertnskr. lan aaanaclcc Grebe the time, and he an becinninc to take on nelrht. Tunner didn’t teem partlrularlr anxious to take on my man. At the time Carpentier a atlll retarded at holder of the norld litht hrarTweitht title. There wasn't a treat deal of Intereat In either title but naturally there was more Intereat in the world title than the American. emu -I persuaded Tex Richard to have a bogus cable aent to him from Paris supposedly from the Frenchman's manager auaaestin* a match with Oreb. When this was flashed on Tunnev and his manager. Doc Bagier. they became Interested and presently signed the papers. Tunnev was to get the champion s share of the gate, which was 37'j against Oreb’a U'le u u •nEING high minded sportsmen I) whose sole interest in prize fighting was the sport of the thing. Greb and I decided this wasn t enough dough lor us. We finally Induced Tunney to give us an additional 5 per cent. Then, as an afterthough, we got him to agree that if he won or the fight was a draw we were to get as much as he did. a a a I suppose that In agreeing to give us half the purse Tunney figured Greb would do even less training than usual and thus assured a lot of dough would come up to the fight in poor condition. Understand now. I’m not charging that Tunnev imputed ans sinister motiyes to our rather Involved financial agreement, because he must have known that Mr. Greb and myself were gents of great moral fibre and like Caesar's wife above reproach. tt tt tt ••I guess he and Baglcy merely wanted to do the right thing by a couple of brother profcseionals trying to get along. I must say that I was indeed surprised t‘ the energetic wav mv man trained for the fight because I did have some slight misgivings about the outcome, especially when my man started to talk to himself about the difference between IJVi per cent and 25 per cent, and how much it amounted to in thousand dollar bills. nun “T DIDN'T learn until later that X Mr. Greb would have stepped into the ring that night and paid for the privilege of swinging at Tunney. You see Mr. Greb was a socially refined sailor and Tunney was just one of those marines, and it seems that a journeyman sailor does not have any more use for one of these marines than a cat does for a dog or vice versa.” ft St tt Engel reached over and pu hrd a button summoning a train attendant from whom he ordered mineral waters and cigars • - - “Weil lhe night of the fight rolls around and I drop over to Tenner s dressing room to pay my respects after the charming custom of the Queensberry art and to see that nothing phoney ia going around. It wasn't that I doubted the sportsman hip of either Tunney or Baglcy. but there are always two or three strangers hanging around a prtre fighter s dressing rcim and. of eonrse. I do not trrat strangers as I do my pals and friends. a u a •'Well. T am standing there complaining that Tunney has too much bicycle tape T rapped around his knuckles and am demanding in the interest of fair play and Ting ethics that he peel about seventeen yards oi the stuff est when X feel something sharp pressing against my ribs. I turn and it is one of the strangers and he is saying: 'lf you don't pipe down I'm liable to send you back to Pittsburgh in a wooden kimono.' an u “Well. I am quite shocked and as I do not wish to go back to Pittsburgh in a wooden kimono I tell this stranger that if he does not put his rodney or gun away and shut his face I will do the same for him and with much pleasure. aaa ‘•TT was iust one of those regret--1 table incidents and everybody heaved a sigh of relief when the unwelcome stranger walked away and there was no more trouble in the dressing room before the fight, I am sorry to state.” 0 0 0 You know what happened. Sir. Grfb gave Tunney a very thorough boating in fifteen rounds and won the championship. But I will say this for Tunney. he fought the gamest fight that night I ever saw. and when It was over I shook his hands and predicted he would be the next chamnion. And was I wrong?"

RUTH NOW CONFIDENT OF SMASHING RECORD

Will Pass Sixty Easy, Bambino Predicts, if Hurlers Pitch to Him Home Run King Reaches 30 Mark and Is 11 Games Ahead of 1927 Pace, His Best Previous Year; Bumps Thomas Again. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July I.—“lf they keep pitching to me I'll break my home run record easy,” Babe Ruth told the United Press today. "This hot weather is just what I like, and I’ll keep busting ’em as long as they keep getting ’em anywhere neai the plate.” With fifteen homers during June, Ruth had a total of thirty today and was twelve days and eleven games ahead oi his 192/ schedule, the year in which he made his record of sixty. In only one month, September, 1927, since he started hitting homers as a pitcher with i he Boston Red Sox in 1915, has Ruth ever made more than fifteen circui; drives in a single month. He hit seventeen in the last month of 1927 to break his 1921 record of fifty-nine by the margin

of one homer.

Star Matman Booked Here Gus Sonnenberg, claimant of the heavyweight wrestling title, has been signed by Promoter McLemore to appear at Riverside the latter part of this month with the date and opponent to be announced shortly. It will be the first glimpse of Gus afforded local fans. Sonnenberg, former Dartmouth football star, won his way to high circles in the grappling world by using the flying tackle, learned on the gridiron. His appearances on the mat in the larger cities of the east have brought out the fans in immense throngs. An ail-star supporting card will be arranged for Scnnenberg’s visit here.

Pitching to Berger Costly to New York

JOHN McGRAW has taken it on the chin several times, in a strategical way. In a recent double-header with the Braves, the Giants’ master mind made one very bad guess involving the ability of Wally Berger, the Braves’ sensational recruit. It was the eighth inning, there were two Braves on bases and two out. Berger was at bat and Genewich was pitching. In view of the rough way Berger had performed against the

‘Queen Helen’ Advances to Semi-Finals at Wimbledon First Ranking Woman Ace Beats Britisher in Straight Sets; Elizabeth Ryan Beats Betty Nuthall.

BY WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent WIMBLEDON, England, July I. Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, world’s first ranking woman player, today defeated Miss Phyllis Mudford, England, in a quarter-final match of the women’s English singles championships, 6- 1 . 6-2. Miss Elizabeth Ryan. American who is in England, defeated Miss Betty Nuthall, young English star, in another quarter-finals match, 6-2. 2-6, 6-0. Miss Mudford made a brave showing against Mrs. Moody. She drove hard and returned Helen’s serves fearlessly, often forcing the games to deuce. Helen soon found the weak spot in Miss Mudford’s defense, her backhand, and took many points with drives to that side. She frequently aced her opponent. Miss Ryan took the first set with comparative ease. In the second set. however, the decision of one of the linesmen upset her considerably and Miss Nuthall took advantage of her opponent s discomfiture to score numerous placements. In the third set Miss Ryan steadied and wore

Ruth did not hit No. 30 in 1927 until July 12 and No. 31 did not come until July 24. If Ruth continues his present pace, he can tie his record in his 134th game and still have twenty games left in I which to create anew record. Ruth is now ahead or tied with his schedule in every year. In 1928 he ended the month of June with thirty homers, but slumped in August and closed the year with fifty-four. Ruth’s thirtieth homer was made off A1 Thomas, Chicago White Sox right-hander, in the seventh inning Monday with two mates on base. The drive traveled far into the right field bleachers. Ruth always has liked to bat against Thomas, and when he came to bat after Thomas had relieved Braxton, Babe yelled: “Get it in here now, Cuz (Cousin), and I’ll show you No. 30.” A comparison of his 1930 and 1927 schedules follows: Year Hamer Dale Game Total 1927 30 July 12 78 60 1930 39 June 30 67

Giants in previous games, it looked to be the better part of valor to give the young man a base on balls. The Braves were three runs behind, and with the bases filled, there would have been a play at every base. McGraw, however, probably figuring that lightning doesn’t hit twice in the same place, ordered Genewich to pitch to Berger, who answered with a home run. And the score was tied. Later the Braves went on to win.

Tribe and Saints in Twin Bill Three Apostle Homers Contribute to Monday Downfall of Indians. Du Time Special ST. PAUL, July I.—'The Indians were on the short end again Monday. 7 to 6, giving the Saints two in a row in the series and the fifth consecutive victory for the home pastimers. There was a doubleheader carded today and on Wednesday the teams will wind up the set. Four Tribe pitchers saw service Monday as Manager Corriden made strenuous efforts to bag the game, but the Apostles are chasing the league-leading Colonels and were not to be denied. Hildebrand, Indian starting hurler, was knocked out in the second stanza and Lee Daney was sent to the showers in the sixth. Ambrose and Van Alstyne were other flingers used on the Indian mound. Harris Relieves Nekola The Corridenites rallied as late as the seventh to pull within one run of a tie, but there they were stopped when Slim Harriss took up the St. Paul mound burden relieving Nekola. The Hoosiers got the men on the sacks, but couldn’t get enough of them around. The hit totals were fourteen for the Indians and thirteen for the Saints. Hopkins, home nine third-sacker, belted the sphere for two home runs and Anderson also smote one over the fence. Johnny Riddle registered a trip all the way for the visitors. Showers Slow Action Weather was rainy and cool and frequently summer showers delayed action and slewed up the game by forcing the athletes to perform on a heavy field. Manager Corriden is battling against exasperating odds with two consistent heavy hitters, Barnhart and Hoffman, out of the lineup with injuries. Paul Wolfe, utility infielder and pinch runner, also is absent with a damaged leg. It’s a sad trip for*the Tribe, with only three victories scored on the current trip.
