Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 4. William James Breslin dropped in to see me the other day. "I Just wanted to see if you were in town,” he said, “because in a day or so I’m going to be sending around those old gloves I promised you. I'm finally quitting the business." It seems that sAme years ago in a sentimental outburst I had extracted the promise from Mr. Breslin that when he quit the ring he was to give me his old gloves. a m a I think it *a some ten or fifteen year* aga when the newspaper* were writing him up an old man and predicting that if he didn't atep down pretty aoon tome youngster would tome along and punch his eyebrows down below his collar line, a a a 1 probably had the thought at the time that I wouldn't have to wait very lor he gloves You see Mr. Breslin occupies a rather unique position in my life a follower of sports because he U the first uriae fighter I ever saw in the ring, snd f suppoie it is this fact that moved me to ask him for his gloves. a a a NOW that the incident has been brought back to my mind, or what I use for a mind, I am very grateful to Mr. Ereslln and I shall certainly be happy to get the gloves. Mr Breslin happens to be none other than old Jack Britton in professional life, and there is a bit of legitimate news in the fact that he is actually quitting after twentysix years of continuous ring warfare. This mav not*be record for all time, hot it certainly tops anything the modern cam. can offer. I Britton fight Packer McFarland in a katin* rink in Memphis back in IMI. . lh * 1 * long time ago a. the crow die*. ***** was a veteran even then. He had been fighting seven years and had bad more fights than most fighters of today tn the full span of their careers. a a a Tn He sure Britton started abnormally mw n iSd b, e C ?r on complle 0 d bv'a It "popular to point to Johnny Dundee ks ar enduring fistic institution and the great number Os bouts he haa hgd and the great number of vears be has been around. Britton had been fighting for six vears before Dundee had a glove on. man SAMMY MANDELL has won and lost the lightweight championship. Mandell wasn’t even born when Britton was hanging around a smelly Chicago gymnasium getting ready to knock out one Steve Kinney in a round to score his first professional triumph in the ring. a * a Rr:t‘on has outlasted three generations rtf fighters When he launched his career, a*career destined to go on uni:nterWDi*dlv twenty-six vears. Johnnv couion *bj ihe bantamweight champion, Attell was ruling the featherweights. Jimmy Brltr champion of It would lake columns to list the ebampions and alleged champions these divisions have produced since. And still Britton kept moving along. Only the other night he fought some tough youngster in Stamford. Conn., and lost a close decision. He never was ouite able to make the. grade in the lightweight division. He was lust a few pounds too heavy. a a a AFTER a long struggle he finally managed to win the welterweight championsnip, getting the decision over Ted Lewis, the Englishman. whom he met twentytwo times, another record of some sort. He held the title from 1917 to 1922. when Mickey Walker took it away from him on points in fifteen rounds. uaa Britton doesn't know for sure Just how many fights he has had. The record books are incomplete. He's certain he's bad considerably more than 400. Britton came along before the big money era. vet in spite of that he made close to a quarter of a million dollars. Today, except for a home tn Yonkers, up the river from the metropolis, he is broke. nun The Florida crash took about SIOO,OOO in cash from him. Other investments curdled. And all the while it took money to keep the house, the missus and the five little Brittons ROins. Some fellows set.the breaks. Britton, deserving, ambitious, hopeful. Rot nothmß but raps. u u u THE fates have had many fairhaired children in this strange game of pugilism, but Britton was never one of them. Not for long anyway. A fellow who has been throwing the leather for twenty-six years can't just quit all of a sudden. He has to keep going at something. a a a So Britton will move in as boxing instructor at the new Downtown Athletic Club, a towering shaft of brlrk and steel that looks down on the West river and the New York harbor where ocean liners tug fretfully ut anchor between voyages. "It looks as If It will be steady work anyway." Britton remarked, "and I don’t mind telling tou I think I'm pretty lucky to get it."

The scheduled game between the Yankees and Senators at New York today has been been postponed until Tuesday, when it will be played as part of a double-header, because of the funeral of Mrs. Walter Johnson, wife of the Washington manager, in Washington today. Brooklyn increased its lead by a full game Sunday when the Robins evened the .series with the Giants with a 1-0 victory. The winning run was put over in the ninth when Babe Herman doubled, advanced to third on a sacrifice and was forced in when Carl Hubbell walked Flowers after purposely passing Wright and Bressler to set the stage for a possible double play. The Chict-50 Cubs lost their second straight game to Pittsburgh, 12-8, the Pirater inning with an eight-run rally in the eighth inning. Hack Wilson hit his thirty-fifth homer of the season.

hit. Eddie Moore batted for Bissonette and laid a bunt down the third base line, Herman taking third as Lindstrom threw out Moore. With but one out and Herman on third, Brooklyn needed only a sacrifice fly to win. The Giants’ infield gathered around Hubbell. Dave Bancroft, acting manager of the Giants in the absence of John McGraw, joined the group. The decision was to walk the next two batters, and try for a force play at the plate and a possible double play. Hubbell threw eight straight pitch-outs to Wright and Bressler, filling the bases. The stage was set for the most dramatic situation of the game. The crowd was tense as Jake Flowers came to bat. Flowers worked the count to one strike and three ballsThen Hubbell tried to groove the fifth pitch. It cut the middle of the plate, somewhere around Flowers’ legs. Umpire Jorda called it a ball, Flowers walked to first and Herman was forced in with the winning run. The Giants thought the pitch was a strike, and rushed at Umpire Jorda, who was given poli ; protection. The crowd remained strangely quiet, as if disappointed at the ending.

Blues on Hand to Tackle Indians in Night League Tribe Drops Into Cellar After Two Beatings Sunday; Brewers Score 13 Runs in One Inning.

BY EDDIE ASH Losing the “cellar series” to the Milwaukee Brewers when the Cream City pastimers took both ends of Sunday’s double-header, 16 l ~ 7 and 9 to 2, the Indians were in last place today as they rested up for the series opener with the Kansas Cit- Blues at the illuminated park tonight at 8. The Blues will be here four days and on Tuesday night a twin bill will be staged, first game at 7. Women and children will be admitted free tonight. On top of being battered in two tilts Sunday afternoon the Tribe club had more bad luck when fire destroyed some of the upper boxes along the first base side during a night blaze. The double flop Sunday on the part of the home nine was a far cry from the Saturday night game in which Oral Hildebrand, collegiate righthander, barely missed hanging up a no-hit, no-r.un performance during a mound battle with Strelecki. Hildebrand registered a 3-to-0 shutout and it wasn’t until the ninth that Milwaukee got one safe. The Tribe youth mowed down the visitors in sensational style, only twenty-eight men facing him, giving one pass, and in the seventh Bloxsom reached base on an error. His no-hit try was ruined in the ninth when Young, first up, hit a halfspeed grounder toward Connolly that took a freak hop over the Indian second sacker as he was set to field it—and the sphere scooted into right field for a single. Gearin batted for Strelecki and fanned, Benton ’tatted for Grimes and flied to Hoffman and Young was erased stealing. In eight of the nine innings only three men faced the tall Hildebrand.

MUCH of the credit for Wichita's showing in the Western League this summer is due Charlie Wood, above, 19-year-old southpaw pitcher who won sixteen of his first eighteen starts and led the circuit in strikeouts with an average of almost ten per game. Wood'also is one of the league’s leading hitters. Eyes of major league scouts have been on the young man for several weeks, and it is likely that his performances will be rewarded with a big league offer.

The Indians got to Strelecki in the third for the only runs of the gameStrelecki walked in the third and was out stealing. The Indians used six pitchers in the twin bill Sunday and all were punished, three going to the mound in each contest. In the fourth inning of the afternoon opener the Brewers scored thirteen runs on thirteen hits, two errors, one walk and sacrifice fly. It was a nightmare in daylight. Sixteen visitors went to the plate during the rally. And in the fifth stanza of the second tilt the Brewers scored four times on one hit, five walks and wild pitch. Nine Brewers batted in that round. Jenkins, Milwaukee rightfielder, was the big noise with the bludgeon Sunday with a double, triple and home run in the first fray and triple and sacrifice fly in the second. He batted in six runs. Grimes batted in five, getting three hits in the first and three in the windup. Pete Mondino, new catcher foimerly of New Orleans, and Frank Miller, pitcher, formerly with Columbus and Peoria, made their appearance in the Sabbath tilts.

three policemen who stopped the game and made the arrest will be isisued, according to Michael Saxe, counsel for the Passon Field team, on the basis of a still earlier Blue law, dated 1706, providing that no policeman may make an arrest on the Sabbath. The men arrested, and slated on a charge of “disorderly conduct,” are Malcolm McGowan, director of the Passon Athletic Association and manager of its baseball team; Edward Sherman, acting manager of the North Penn baseball team, and Todd Voorhees, umpire. The arrests were made in the middle of the fifth inning when the two managers entered the stands to take up a collection. 39 Women in Golf Tourney Thirty-nine feminine mashiewielders, headed by Miss Elizabeth Dunn, city champion, teed off at Speedway course this morning in an eighteen-hole handicap tourney, under the auspices of the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association.

.AUG. 4, 1930

The match has been a “natural'’ almost from the very time it was made. Kid Chocolate. Cuban Negro, has 168 straight victories to his credit in amateur and professional ranks, barring a draw with Joe Scalfaro in 1928, and has never been defeated. Berg, a little English Hebrew, who came to this country two years ago without much of a reputation, has whipped most of the lightweights who would fight him in convincing fashion and has taken his place alongside A1 Singer, the new lightweight champion, and Chocolate as one of the three most popular boxers in New York. Fighting much after the fashion of the late Harry Greb, Berg violates every known style of ring fighting, but this unorthodox style makes for action and Berg hi never yet participated in a dull fight in this coufttry. Chocolate will concede Berg something like ten pounds, and many believe the weight handicap will prove too much for him. Berg will have to scale, according to the agreements, 134%, and Chocolate will come in at his natural poundage of about 126. Betting odds favor Berg 6 to 5, but Chocolate has many backers who may bring the odds down to even money.
