Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June 18.—True to the forecast of the keynoters, the renomtnatlon of Hoover and that other fellow has had a tremendous effect on the morale of the country. You can see It already in sports. Next week, for instance, is the biggest of the year. There’s a championship in every dinner pail. Take a look: Monda?—The Inlercolleiiale rrntu al PouehkerDle. Taer.dsv—Shark*? and Schmrlinr al the new outdoor bowl. Thnrada?—The national o*n at Fre?h Mrrdnw. Fridr.v—The Vale-Ilarrard rare at New l.enuon. M M M The Pouahlceeosie rrcatta looks tike an onen race, lit on the Hudson but the exnerts are at sea. Tnree crew* seem to aland out. —Corn'll. Syracuse and Calttornta. How far any of the three will stand out. after the race Is aomethlns else. Navv. the defandine ehamDlon. isn't receiving much consideration. They didn't receive much before the rare last year either. But after It was over they received the cud the hooDlas and the keys t.o the city. Life on the water is like that. You never can tell. The exnerts don't know what to make of the Pennsylvania boat. Heretofore there never was anv doubt. They made fun of it. But this vear. Rusty Callow has been winning some races and there s lust, a chance that he mav have somethin* besides a pain In the neck. At the very least. Pennsylvania must be listed as the dark hoss of the race—the dark sea hos3. as It were MB* SCHMELING will go into the fight the favorite over Sharkey, in spite of the fact that he was far behind when a foul blow stopped the last fight. This isn’t surprising. The champion usually goes into the ring the favorite. Nor is it significant. The favorite doesn't always win. The fight seems to be catching on. The boys are beginning to jabber about it. Who will win, and what will it draw? Those who like Sharkey do so because they remember how easily he was winning up to the time he lost hit onion and began bowling out of bounds. In two more rounds he would have put the Dutchman away," they say. Those who like Schmeling do so because they remamber Schmeling was Just beginning to come when Sharkey, stung for the first time In the fight, committed the foul. "Sharkey sensed the tide had turned and that he was going to be whipped and that's why he fouled.” they say. These what-might-have-happened controversies are always futile anyhow, and this one particularly so. Two years have passed and both men have undoubtedly changed in some vital respects. Sharkey is pounds heavier and Schmeling is more experienced and probably a much better fighter. It's anew deal all around. Whether Sharkey or Schmeling wins, the result can ofler little solace to the debaters who look forward to this flghrt to confirm their contentions concerning the previous one. Not after two years. This is a different Sharkey and a different Schmeling. At, least it is to be hoped it is a different Sharkey. M M M AS for the national open golf championship, it promises to be the most tumultous battle the game has had since Bobby Jones stepped out. Gene Sarazen did much to revive public interest in the event by his record breaking 283 In the British open, and for the first time in three years the promoters anticipate a populous turnout. Another thing, the pros. Sarazen and the rest, have had time enough to get over the .Tones complex which kept them in the background lor years. This adds to thp piouanev of the fight and it should also add to the brilliancy of the scoring. MOM As for the Yale-Harvard boat, race, you can write it down that Ed Leader has another great crew at New Haven and if the Crimson boat gets anything out of the race Friday besides backwash it will be the satisfaction of having finished second to what is probably the best barge in the east.

BY STUART CAMERON United Pres* Snorts Editor NEW YORK. June 18. —Max Schmeling and Jack Sharkey put on their gloves today for a final session of serious training while the ballyhooed controversy over a referee and “in the bag ’ charges was allowed to soak in among the so-called followers of the boxing game. Schmeling planned four or five rounds of light pasting at his Kingston camp, while Sharkey at Orangeburg was listed for half a dozen rounds. The referee “controversy” was an almost one-sided affair today, but echoes of charges made by Joe Jacobs, manager of Schmeling, were expected momentarily from the Sharkey camp.

Thus far the incident has been confined to some statements by Jacobs that are “knockouts" as sport page headlines, and an economy of comment from James J. Farley, chairman of the New York state boxing commission. Jacobs has asserted that if the commission names one of several members of the official referee staff he will not allow his charge to enter the ring. He said that ugly rumors of the fight, being “in the bag” for Sharkey had caused the decision. No referee has been announced. Jacobs said that the commission would have to abide by his decision because it will not dare disappoint the expected crowd by declaring the fight forfeited. Farley dismissed the matter with one sentence of comment to the effect that the commission will select the referee as it has in the past. If this is done, Farley will notify at least two, and posibly four, referees to report at the scene of the fight next Tuesday, but the man to handle the fight will not be selected until a few minutes before the boxers enter the ring. Jacobs has not implied that Sharkey’s camp is in any way involved with the rumors of fight fixing, but it’s a certainty that some pointed comment will be coming from the Orangeburg camp before fight night. Sharkey will remain at his camp until Tuesday morning when he will come to New York for weighing in. Schmeling will come clown on Monday afternoon and will remain ovynight j n midtown hotel.
Miss Elizabeth Dunn again will enter the tournament a topheavy favorite to win the laurels which she held for the last half dozen years. Match play will decide the champion.

be void and that he could not be held to it. After matters had been smoothed over, Dean made a public statement addressed to Rickey, in which he admitted he had been “all wrong” in walking out on his club in Philadelphia Wednesday. “We had some trouble over trivial matters,” the statement said, “and I got mad, and while I was mad I said some things that I should not have said to the newspapers. I find that my marriage license and life insurance policies 'show that I am past 21 years of age. I hope Mr. Street wall give me a chance to start in the Giant series and I will set them down.” Many things added to Jerome’s embarrassment during Friday’s conference, and when he tipped over backwards in a chair and hit the floor hard as the conference neared a climax, Jerome didn’t appear pleased. Dizzy quit the Cards in Philadelphia because he claimed his wife had been insulted by Cardinals officials, who, he said, refused to give her an advance on his salary. He also said he had been kicked around like a dog by his teammates. These things too, were changed in the mind of the hurler by Rickey. GUTHRIE PINS CHICK Taking the first fall in seventeen minutes and the third in seven minutes, Elmer Guthrie, veteran light heavyweight, marked his return to local mat action with a win over Bobby Chick at the armory Friday night.

Tribe, Blues in Three Tilts Over Week-End Single Game Today and Double-Header Sunday Will End K. C. Visit; Milwaukee Due Monday Night: Wingard Scores Another Win Under Lights. BY EDDIE *ASH Time* Snort* Editor One struggle this afternoon and a double header Sunday afternoon will end the long K. C.-Indian series and on Monday the Milwaukee Brewers will invade Perry stadium to begin their second Indianapolis visit of the season. The series with the Cream City pastimers will open with a night game and the Monday contest will be free to women fans. The Tribesmen regained third place Friday night, ousting Milwaukee by winning by a whisker over the K. C. Kaws, 4 to 3. It was a red hot contest and was won in the ninth. Hale singled, advanced on a low throw to first by pitcher Max Thomas, Hale gave way to Johnny Coonev as a runner. Manager McCann drew an intentional pass. Riddle forced McCann at second and Ernie Wingard scored Cooney on a sizzling fielder's choice to Monahan at first. i— w
Wingard and Thomas, both lefthanders, hooked up in a mound battle and the fans saw a fast fracas, the tilt being run off in 1:29. It was Ernie’s second victory of the week, the lanky one blanking the Minneapolis Millers last Monday. Hits were eight apiece Friday night and both teams turned in some fancy stops and catches. It was free entertainment for women, but the paid customers outnumbered the free list, 2,315 to 2,169. and the officials of both clubs decided that after all there may be something in the rumors that business is picking up around the league. Fitzgerald Recalled Some cheerful news was given out to the Tribe rooters today with the announcement that outfielder Ray Fitzgerald has been recalled from the Toronto Intematonals. He is a popular figure at the stadium and is expected to be of important assistance to the Indians. The team has been going along minus an extra j fly chaser and Fitzgerald’s presence ! is almost certain to make a difference. He was sent away on account of weak hitting, but Manager McCann feels confident the little fellow eventually will find his stride. Ray hit .327 list season and batted in lgO runs. Anyway, Fitz knows what it’s all about and is all class in the pasture. He is a fine defensive player despite the handicap of a weak throwing wing. It is said he has been getting his share of bingles with Toronto. Ernie Slows ’Em Down The K. C, Blues leaped off to a two-run lead Friday night with a pair of markers in the initial stanza and got one more in the third, after which Wingard set the brakes and blanked the invaders the remainder of the way. He allowed only two hits after the third stanza and none in the last four rounds. Quite a feat. The game progressed until the third session before the Indians got going. In that round four Tribe hits and two K. C. errors combined to give the home nine a cluster of three runs. Max Thomas tightened that and battled Wingard on even terms until the ninth and last canto. The contest certainly was worth the money. Circus Fielding Wingard fielded in a faultless style and in the eighth his throw on Boken’s roller brought the fans to their feet. Boken is a speed merchant and Wingard nailed him by making a “falling peg.” In other words the Tribe lefty cut the ball loose while off balance and was flat on the ground when McCann made the catch at first. It was a difficult throw to handle and McCann was compelled to do a long stretch. McCann also contributed a marvelous stop in the sixth when he broke down Boken’s drive back of first and beat the runnar to the bag. It was a hot smash and few thought the Indian pilot would come up with the leather. Eddie Pick drew applause in the fourth when he went to the scoreboard, leaped and caught Riddle's wallop with one hand. It was a rare catch and robbed Riddle of a double.

Their heavy work of preparation behind, varsity crews of eight colleges did little more than rest today, in preparation for the grueling four-mile dash downstream Monday. The only real activity today was the “pickle boat" race involving substitute oarsmen of the various shells. Meantime the experts had settled down to some serious forecasting as to the possible outcome. Syracuse, fifth in the 1931 race won by Navy's surprisingly strong eight., generally has been regarded as the most likely winner. Cornell, California and Washington are the others well regarded.
