Talking It. Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. July 7. IT begin* to appear as If Hers Liederkranz Schmeling and the Sharkey pc’•son are not going to play a return engagement for the saps and the suckers in September after all. I have been reading the sport page comment on the situation aid am surprised at the number of bright young men who profess to vi*w the matter in the light of a minor news item, and unless my ears deceive me. the soap box orators In Union Square and Columbus Circle are blissfully ignorant of the existence of this fnghtful injustice by an outlander to an American bom heavyweight. m a a I suspeet thst the only WOP 1 * 1> * r * konntl Interested In restating the open air fool with it attendant groaning* re Sehmeling and Sharker tbemselres and wliilc the farmer If >* ** blown* the ahow thl no doobt Is due direct!* to ansatisfacfory flnanrlol consideration. To be sure, the German seems to bare been guaranteed plenty but with heavyweight fighters even this Is seldom enough. ana tUST why should Schmeling and J Sharkey fight again? Didn’t they get away with murder the first time they fought? Asa reward for that beautiful trimming of the saps and the suckers up in the stadium are these two business men to be brought back and allowed to split still more swag? Personally I hope not. Schmeling was anything but a spectacular performer in that bout, and Sharkey was his usual erratic rattle-brained self. That the* should be encouraged to come back and do It again at the customers’ expense la akin to Inviting a couple of aecond story worker* who bad overlooked tbe jewels on a previous prowl to return | and complete the haul. And yet It would . not surprise me If the boxing eommis•lon authorised a return match and , helped to force It to completion by grant- j inr a Bock of attractive conceaaiona to the heavyweight*. a a a IN fact I note that Mr. Wi.liam : Muldoon of the commit sion calls Sharkey. “The most unhappy man in the world.” and certainly it would be inhuman and brutal not to try to bring son: i slight soul comfort and mental freedom into the life of this disconsolate young millionaire whose one ambition is to call himself the heavyweight champion of the world. I'ndoubtediv somethin* ought to be done about this. Possibly tbe thousands of men who have been out of work In this country all summer would like to contribute to a consolation fund and thus help in a spirited albeit meager way to soften the bitterness that baa crept Into the Sharkey heart and which Mr. Muldoon has so thoughtlully brought to public attention, let us hope this is not to be a country of contented cows and unhappy heavyweights. Baa ULTIMATELY, of course, Sharkey will have his championship. The commission has adopted a rule by which the foul punch becomes fair. This happens to be Sharkey’s best punch. To be sure he only uses it when he loses his composure or as a counter for a fair punch which has caught him unawares and with some force. But even so Sharkey does very well with it and I predict that when the great foulers of history come up for discussion in the years to come the name of the Boston seaman will be on top or thereabouts as king of them all.

ROBINS HAVE CHANCE TO TIGHTEN GRIP ON LEAD
Battle on Home Lot for Month Washington May Pass Idle A.s Today in Junior Loop Race. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stuff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 7.—Brooklyn and Washington, a pair of ball j clubs little considered as pennant | contenders back in April, stood out ■ Doldly tods> as challengers for the : twe major league pennants at the : nuif-way mark in the race. Brooklyn held the National i League lead, while Washington was i virtually Lea with the Philadelphia Athletics for the American League I lead, iess than one thousandth of a percentage point separating the A’s irom the Senators. Deposed from the top rung on ! Saturday. Brooklyn climbed back into first place Sunday by winning from the Boston Eraves, 10-4, while the Chicago Cubs dropped a doubleheader to the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, and 8-7. Boone Starts Fast With a long home stand In front of them, in which they play only three games away from Ebbets field during the rest of July, the Robins have an excellent chance to firmly intrench themselves in first place. The Cubs, trailing the Robins by .008 points, will be on the road until July 23. Ike Boone, slugging outfielder from the Pacific Coast League, joined Brooklyn Sunday, and in his first appearance in the lineup made a home run and single and turned in a spectacular catch in left field. Boone may be the answer to Uncle Wilbert Robinson’s prayers for another hard-hitting outfielder to team with Babe Herman and Johnny Frederick. Nats Have Chance With the Athletics idle today, Washington had a chance to forge ahead by beating the Boston Red Sbx. With their next six games against the Red Sox, Washington is favored to pass the Athletics who nave four games in three days against the New York Yankees at Yankee stadium, beginning Tuesday. The Senators have been playing at • whirlwind clip for the past three weeks, but have been able to gain only half a game on the Athletics, setting a blazing pace. Washington has won sixteen of its last nineteen games, while Philadelphia nss won fifteen out of its last nineteen. Giants, Cards Climb The temporary collapse of the Yankees, who have lost six games in a row, four of them to the Senators, may be traced to Babe Ruth’s injury. With Ruth out of the game, the Yanks are under a severe handicap. The New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals have been climbing steadily higher in the National League standings. The Giants have won six out of their last seven games and are only games behind the Robins. The Cardinals have won nine out of their last ten games and are four games out of first place.
NEW YORK, July 7. Every year about this time I begin casting around through the box scores and the record books to get a line on the players of the two leagues and what they are doing. A few more weeks and I’ll be called upon to name my all-America team, and some of the boys are writing their names into by their deeds out there on
Babe Ruth Says
that all-Aimrica lineup the diamond right now.
And every year I’m impressed with the changes —————— that come in baseball; with the number of young fellows who come up to star almost immediately, and with the number of old faces that disappear each season. Im still a young fellow myself; at least I feel young, yet there are only two or three men left in the major leagues as active players who were there when I came into the game. When :t comes to picking an all-America ciub this year I face a mighty tough problem. A lot of fellows who used to be counted on to make the team season after season have slipped and gone back. And a lot of new fellcws are howling for recognition and deserve a place In a lineup of the best there are in the business.
Two or three positions are fairly easy with outstanding figures who can not be topped. But most of them are plenty difficult. Second base, third base, shorstop, the outfield—even first base—have a variety of candidates who are so close as to be almost a tie. And added to the closeness in play of the veterans is the bid being made by first and second-year men. The Cobbs, Speakers, the Johnsons. the pipps. the Collinses who made up that first all-America team nine years ago have dropped out of the picture. And coming irto *’ r places are a flock of young fellows who are just now reaching their prime. To pick and choose between them will be a man-size job, and this year, as never before, it looks as though I’d need the help of sports editors and experts throughout the circuit. A word about the big league races. The Cubs, without Hornsby, have come strong—and once Rajah gets back in his swing, I‘m afraid the going will be tough for the other contenders. In the American League the thing

Indians Return After Disastrous Trip; Take on Toledo Tonight
Sweethearts and Wives Free at Series Opener; New Faces With Tribe. HILDEBRAND TO PITCH Oral Hildebrand is slated to hurl for the Indians in the series opener with the Hens tonight. The former Butler star finished out Saturday’s game, but was reported in good shape today for a starting assignment against Casey Stengel’s sluggers. BY EDDIE ASH Back from a disastrous road trip that knocked them down to seventh place, Johnny Corriden’s Indians will perform at the home park tonight against the Toledo Hens and as it will be “sweethearts and wives’ night,” with women admitted free as well as children, a large crowd is expected to attend the struggle. The contest will start at 8 o’clock with gates opening at 6:30. The pass gate is free for the evening to women and children with or without escort. The Tribesmen lost eighteen games and won six in the five cities visited during the long journey, closing the agony trip tit Louisville Sunday by splitting a double-header with the league-leading Colonels, who took four out of five. The Saturday score was 6 to 1, Louisville, and in the first encounter on the Sabbath the Colonels won in the ninth, 6to 5. The second clash Sunday also was close and exciting, with the Tribesmen winning, 5 to 4,
is developing into just such a dog fight as I predicted before the season opened. The feature is the sudden and unexpected strength of the Washington club which makes it a three-way scramble. Once more I make my old prediction. If the race is decided by a margin of eight to ten games the Athletics will be the winners. But if it goes down to the finish nip and tuck, then the Yankees will grab the pennant. (Copyright. 1930. by The Christy Walsh Syndicate and The Indianapolis Times)
Lott, Doeg Oppose Allison, Van Ryn in British Finals
Americans Sweep Wimbledon Tennis Tourney, Taking Four Titles and Sharing Fifth.
Bv United Press WIMBLEDON. England, July 7. Wilmer Allison of Austin. Tex., and John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J., defending champions, defeated George Lott of Chicago and John Doeg of Santa Monica, Cal., in the final match of the British men's doubles today. Scores were 6-3, 6-3, 6-2. Allison, fully recovered from Saturday’s grueling match with Tilden. in which the Texan w-as defeated for the singles title, showed mastery of all departments of his 'game. He displayed canny judgment in passing opponents’ balls which went out by only an inch or so. Allison repeatedly passed between his opponents. Van Ryn was superior at network and overhead play.

by scoring the victory marker in the last stanza. Burwell was charged with Sunday’s defeat, after relieving Cvengros, in the eighth, the winning run going over when Riddle dropped a Burwell assist with the bases filled and none out. In the ninth of the second game Connolly tripled and scored on Cicero’s single for the needed run. The Indians actually were happy over their “feat” of winning one fracas out of five in Louisville, and with Hoffman back in the lineup and Barnhart about due to return, the Corridenites see some gleam of hope as they resume action on the home pasture. Hoffman saw service Sunday after a long absence due to injuries, and Barnhart aas not played for about a month. Clarence and Barney represent much of the Tribe’s power. Barnhart is due to rejoin the club tonight, but Manager Corriden fears the big fellow will be unable to play in the series opener.

Cello and Myers Wind Up Training for Tuesday Bout Five Other Scraps Are Scheduled at Harrison Arena on Big Weekly Fistic Program.
Tommy Cello and Spug Myers were reported in shape today for their ten-round scrap Tuesday night at Ft. Harrison. The junior welters were to complete training with workouts this afternoon. Cello substituted for Eddie Anderson and annexed the decision over Myers in ten rounds of action at the outdoor arena two weeks ago. Myers, rugged Idaho mauler, opened up fast in that engagement and looked as though he would run away with the decision. From the first round on, however, Tommy jabbed and punched his way to a triumph. Captain Frank Schucker, matchmaker, has lined up five bouts for the supporting card. Three “sixes” and a pair of four rounders will be offered before the main go. Tommy Celmar, Akron featherweight, will oppose Bruce Britt, Terre Haute, in the top six-rounder.

Report Tilden Not Available for Cup Play Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 7.—A report was circulated in tennis circles here today that William T. Tilden, Wimbledon champion, would be unable to accept a place on the United States Davis cup team even if it were offered to him, because of a contract to cover the challenge round for a newspaper syndicate for $3,000. According to the player-writer rule no player is allowed to write “current news reports.” Tilden’s superb play in the Wimbledon tournament has led many to believe that he will be invited to play two of the singles matches against France, provided the United States wins the inter-zone final.
