Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

Poughkeepsie, n. y.. June n. —lt's about time they changed the name of this regatta and called it the Glendon family outing. If one of the Glendons doesn't win it, •the other does. Tuesdsv the oid man won St with a Navv crew In a steady rain and behind curtain* of foe that all tut hid the climax from the comparatively few thousands that filled the observation cars and lined the banks. The time was pretty close to a record performance. 18:54 1-5 seconds, some twenty seconds higher than the best. This made the sixth Poughkeepsie the two Glendons—Old Dick and Young Dick—have split between them in the last ten years and adds further emphasis to the efficacy of the system of paddling, which is peculiar to them. Os course, old Dick didn't do any actual paddling on the river himself, being 62 years of age and his active paddling days having long been over. But it seems to be a custom in rowing to give all the credit to the coach and so It was not unusual that at. a late hour Tuesday night, the lobby of the Nelson‘house still shook and shivered to the hooplas end whooplas touched off by florid faced middies to the genius of the veteran New England seaman. Perhaps this stressing of the importance of the coach is something the Carnelgle Foundation detectives should look Into. At any rate the personnel of a rowing crew Is a private and personal matter that Is known only to Immediate relatives and close frierr's. Still in studying the makup of the Navy boat. I found that while the young men a3 padd.ers were practically unknown., a number of them had high standing es football players, including Gray at bow. and Erson at six. Steftandles at five and Crinkley at four, all of whom were varsity men last fall. nun BUT Tuesday they were just a group of muscular young men paddling Old Dick Glendon’s skiff, and when the race was over and that eerie jumble of moaning whistles had died down over the gray belly of the Hudson, it was Old Dick, who had not even been out in the rain, who became the lion of the moment, and not the young men who had smashed their way over the four-mile course to register the most surprising upset of the year. I am told that a little later in the evening Old Dick went over to the Navy boat house anrl told the young men how proud he was of them and it may be that this Is all an oarsman ever expects or wants but It does seem that the public distribution of homage could be a little more evenly distributed. After all, what will the Russians think. Nevertheless It was a fine victory for the Navy boat and a fine come-back for Old Dick who was thought to be outmoded and. It you believe all you hear, was merely being carried along at Annapolis as a sort of sentimental gesture. It was at the Navy that Old Dick began his coaching career back in 1904, and that was many years ago by anybody's calendar. Very few people figured Old Dick or the Navy boat had a chance to win Tuesday. The combination had started four times and had been whipped three. Their only victory was scored over M. I. TANARUS., and very little importance was attached to this victory because M. I. T. Is by way of being a sort of Pat Redmond among the racing shells. Old Dick made a couple of shifts in his boating before the race and sent the young men out on the water with his blessing and with the abjuration "not to sink whatever you do." A year ago, the Navy boat was caught by the backwash of patrol boats and swamped. It was a different story this year.

SWEEP ALL BOWS TENDON; OUT OF $50,000 CLASSIC

Mate Given Top Choice 3-Year-Old Second in Derby Retires for Season After Injury. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Presi Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 17.—Another leading contender for the $50,000 added American Derby Saturday at Washington park racetrack dropped out of consideration today as a result of Tuesday's Derby trial. Sweep All, second to Twenty Grand, in the record-breaking Kentucky Derby, bowed a tendon in his left front leg and will be out of competition for the rest of the year. With Twenty Grand, which failed to accept the nomination after winning the Belmont stakes last week, and Sweep All both out of the running. the twenty-third American Derby was an open puzzle today. Boys Howdy, owned by H. C. Hatch of Toronto won the Derby trial at a mile and an eighth in 1:52 2-5, finishing a nose ahead of Morpheus, owned by the San Mateo Stock Farm in Reno, Nev. Western Colts Fail Leading all the way, Boys Howdy just lasted to beat out Morpheus, which went to the post a 70-1 shot. Spanish Play finished third. Out of the field of nine candidates, Sweep All, Pittsburgher, Ladder, Spanish Play and Knight’s Call were considered the most formidable contenders before the race. Sweep All pulled up lame. Pittsburgher stumbled on the first turn and finished last. Ladder quit badly in the stretch and finished sixth. Knight’s Call got into a bad jam and wound up in seventh place. Only Spanish Play, fourth in the Kentucky Derby, finished in the money. The Derby trial was not truly run and many horsemen will throw out the race in figuring the mile-and-a-quarter American Derby. The race, however, tended to indicate that Mate, Preakness winner, and Sun Meadow, second to Twenty Grand in the Belmont stakes, have a decided edge on the western horses with Sweep All now eliminated. Mate Top Choice Mate undoubtedly will be the favorite for the Derby. His price was 4-1 before Tuesday’s race, and the fact that he did not run boosted his stock in many quarters. He won’t have to be at his Preakness form to beat the western horses on their showing in Tuesday’s trial. Since the A. C. Bostwick colt ran fourth in the Kentucky Derby he is said to have picked up 50 pounds and is in much better condition. If Mate can win the American Derby, Twenty Grand will have to defeat the powerful son of Prince Pal again in the Arlington classic July 18 to make certain of an undisputed claim to the 3-year-old championship. • Mate’s victory over Twenty Grand is still standing against the Greentree ace, even though he conquered him in the Kentucky Derby a week later.

Ryan Weakens in Closing Rounds; Loses to Touchstone

Terrific body punching in the last five rounds gave Benny Touchstone of Detroit the decision over Tommy Ryan of Little Rock. Ark., Tuesday night in the ten-round main-go at the Ft. Harrison punch bowl. Only one fight marred the fine program and the entertainment all the way was good. In the windup, Ryan substituting for Rosy Rosales, Cleveland heavyweight, started swinging lefts and rights and as the bell rang for the end of the third round, he toppled Touchstone with a left hook. In the sixth, Touchstone bored in and from then to the finish it was all his fight. Ryan went down in the eighth and ninth. He put up a game battle against a stronger and more rugged opponent.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES 1

First and second round tussles Tuesday were filled with thrills. Downfall of Harry Yelton of Cathedral, defending title holder, extrahole battles, birdies fired to win matches and several sensational spurts that carried boys to surprise victories produced the color sought by the large gallery which followed the youthful stars. Tech Places Six Tech entered the quarter final round represented in six of the eight positions. Cathedral, Washington and Broad Ripple representatives were eliminated in Tuesday’s play. Charles o| Tech faced Beeson of Manual, the 1931 medalist, and Anderson of Tech tackled Heckman of Shortridge in quarter final matches. In the lower .bracket, four Tech rivals battled for honors, Chapman opposing Petrie and Gentry playing Schuman. Barring upsets, Beeson and Heckman were favored to meet in the semi-finals this afternoon, with Chapman and Gentry doped to survive in the lower flight. Grade Rivals Battle In the grade school semi-finals this morning H. Allen of School 65 clashed with Thomas Vaughn of St. Anthony’s and Albert Gleagor of Holy Trinity mett C. Werner of Holy Cress. The winners met this afternoon in the finals for the grade school championship. Beeson, who scored 73 in the qualifying round Monday to become low medalist in the field of near 200 contestants continued his par shooting Tuesday morning to score a 35 out and gain an easy 10 and 8 win over L. Grant of Shortridge. Beeson slowed ud a bit in the afternoon however and coasted to a 4 and 3 win over Keil of Washington in the second round. Billy Charles of Tech had a couple of 6's on the first nine hole cf his match with Art Lynn of Broad Ripple, but still scored a 39 out and triumphed 7 and 6. A big feature of the second round clashes was the match between two sterling Shcrtr:dge players. Marvin Heckman and Horace Kelley, the latter a southpaw shooter. Heckman shaved one off of par 35 to score a 34 going out and gain a 4 up lead at the turn. He continued to shoot even par to the fifteenth hole where the match ended in Heckman’s favor. 5 and 3. Codding of Cathedral was forced to go tv/enty-one holes in the first round to defeat Dick Carlstedt of Washington. He met a tartar in Don Anderson of Tech in the afternoon round and fell before the Tech player. 1 up. Coddington gained an edge on Anderson with a birdie 2 on the second hole and was two up at the end of five holes. Anderson began firing pars and a birdie on the next tour holes, and was. two up at the turn. Coddington fought back, won holes 10 and 12 and halved 11 to square the match. He halved 13 and won 14 and 15 to be two up with three to play. Coddington blew up taking 6. 5. 5 on three holes and lost the match one down. Yelton, defending champion, was the last Cathedral player to drop out. He fell before Walter Chapman of Tech in a match that went to the last hole. Yelton was not firing the golf this year he did last when he won the title at Riverside. Dick McCreary of Shortridge went nineteen holes before he fell before the constantly improving game of Paul Gentry of Tech. Gentry shot 38 out and McCreary 37. McCreary led one up at the turn. Gentry won the tenth nole and squared the match. They halved four holes and Gentry won fifteen. McCreary won sixteen and it was all sauare. On the extra hole. Gentry sent his second shot, an approach, to within six inches of the pin for a birdie 3. That beat McCreary's par 4. It was stated by error Tuesday that Billy Rsed Jr. failed to Qualify because he shot an' 83 in the qualifying round Monday. In justice to Billy, because the worst is bad enough, he shot an 85. He failed to qualify for the first time of six Times’ tournaments he has played in.

as well, it seems a downright shame to suggest that the heroic boatload should not have won at all. Cornell, despite the fact that it finished a length and a half back of na/y, looked to this writer to be the strongest crew on the river. It was the consensus of the experts that Cornell's failure to begin its drive at the two and half miles mark instead of the three-mile flag, cost Jim Wray’s boatload its second successive Poughkeepsie regatta. But make no mistake about it, Navy' sent a real crew out on the Hudson Tuesday. The Middies’ time of 18 minutes 541-5 seconds is the fourth best time ever made in the long history of the regatta and less than 20 seconds slower than the all-time mark. The victory marked Navy’s first ajor triumph of the year. . Syracuse was the biggest disappointment of the regatta, and Columbia a close second. Dick Glendon’s Lions, 1929 champions, like Cornell and Washington, went to the post undefeated. The best they could do was place seventh, a ripple ahead of untried Wisconsin. M. I. T. brought up the rear. California, the other far western entrant, took fourth money, with Syracuse in fifth place and supposedly helpless Pennsylvania in sixth.

Washington Park Chatter — BY EDDIE ASH

Maintaining a high batting average and with extra base hits nearly an every-day achievement. Art Shires will honor Washington park with his presence Thursday when the Brewers unpack their bats for a stay of four days. The Great One has delivered in fine style for the Brewers and is convincing the world that the big leagues made a mistake when they waived him out. He is the big threat and big gate attraction with the Brewers ana !s never happy unless the fans are riding him. He has enough smart cracks always ready to get a “rise” out of the crowd. Walter Christensen, the other member of the Brewers’ comedy team won’t be able to do his heacsplns for Tribe fans this trio. He was injured the other day and will be out of action for the rest of the season. He received a fractured right leg while stealing second against Columbus on June 11. Pitcher George Smith is back on the Tribe eligible list. He was active in the bullpen Tuesday warming up his salary wing. To make room for Smith, the Indians returned Carl Lind, second baseman. to the jurisdiction of the Cleveland club and before Lind got out of town he received orders to join the Oakland team of the Pacific Coast League. Fred Bedore has been retained to fill the Tribe utility infield role. Smith was cut off the active playing roster on June 1 when the team was one over the twentyplayer limit. The Indians have completed the deal with Cincinnati for outfielder Ray Fitzgerald and the right-hander is now local property. He was on trial when first obtained by the Hoosiers. Bill C’auer. veteran secretary of the Indians. was in Chicago Tuesday and today and it is presumed he still is striving to swing a deal for the Toledo franchise. The Hens have had to call on the league for financial support. If Clauer Is placed in charge over there it's a good guess he’ll get the club out of its difficulties. After swatting his homer in the third Tuesday. Len Koenecke was given an intentional pass in the fifth with runners on third and second. He is batting .359 and has been hitting in high figures consistently. The Wisconsin product has interested the major scouts. Not long ago it was rumored the Browns were watching him. Sigafoos went back on the grass and tossed out Bream in the fourth. It was a neat play. Davis shot one by Siggie's ear in the ninth, the ball taking a bad hop. Hopkins knocked down Montague’s liner in the third and held it to a single. It was carrying a ticket for two cushions. Manager McCann placed himself eighth in the Tribe batting order and poled two safe, a triple and single. He was walked on purpose in the seventh.

to proauce some sizzling skirmishes. The Hoosiers were idle today, the scheduled game with St. Paul" having been played in last Sunday's double-header. The home nine got an even break on the series by taking the finale Tuesday, 8 to 4. with Bill Burwell going the route on the Tube mound. The big thrill was a well-hit home run by Len Kcenecke m the third inning.

St. Paul scored two markers In the third, one in the eighth and one in the ninth and Indianapolis counted -our in the third, one in the fifth two in the seventh and one in the eighth. Hits were nine for the Apostles and eleven for the Tribe. Davis led the visitors with three safeties, including a double, and Montague poled three singles and crew two walks for the winners, giving him a perfect day. Eddie scored three times and was a champion as a lead-off man. Timely Double by Sigafoos Je&s Bream, right-hander, hurled six rounds for the league leaders and Southpaw Van Atta finished. Van Atta walked the first two in tne seventh, and after Riddle pepped out Sigafoos scored both runners with a double. In the eigath Montague drew a pass, H. Fitzgerald sacrificed and Montague was sent home by Manager McCann all the way from second on R. Fitzgeralds hit and run bounce to Hopkins at third. The Indians’ fifth-inning run was scored on a single by Montague, a double by H. Fitzgerald and Angley’s grounder to Roettger. Bill Narlesky sparkled in the field at third base and accepted several difficult chances. He took one back-handed back of third and otherwise moved the fans to applause. McCann’s work at first in handling bad throws also was noteworthy. The one miscue charged against the Tribe was a wide throw by Montague after a brilliant stop near second. The Saints played errorless ball.
