Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June 20.—Having fearlessly and without equivocation predicted the renomination of Mr. Herbert Hoover by the Republicans weeks in advance, I feel that I have no apologies to make as an expert who calls ’em as he sees ’em—and calls 'em right. I like ’em tough like that. But in the case of the heavyweight championship Tuesday night in the new bowl over in Long Island City, 1 must beg to pass. Only a skilled psychiatrist should attempt the job. You know what Schmeling the champion is and what he can ao. He typifies all the stenciled virtues popularly associated with the German athlete-thor-oughness, gameness, durability, perseverance and not too much imagination. You can be pretty sure he wiil run true to type. Hut Sharkey, the challenger, Is something else. A mercurlcal. Intemperate, flighty man with nervous extremes that run hot and cold, he defiles a fixed, lasting analysis. Sharkey is constantly at war with his conflicting emotions, it is his nature to explode In crisis, just as it is the nature of other men to maintain an even, thoughful front. Continued criticism ana repeated failure have taught Sharkey the value of restraint, and to a degree he has acquired it. But there is a difference between acquired and natural restraint in fighters. With Tunney, for example, it was instinctive. It was in the crisis that Tunney was most calm. When Dempsey floored him at Chicago he was less disturbed about his preulcament than anybodv in the vast arena. a a a THERE is no doubt that, in time a man can acquire perfect selfcontrol. By now Sharkey may have it. You can tell better when you see him in another tight spot. Sharkey held himself well in hand the first time he fought Schmeling and fouled out after being well in the lead and apparently on the way to the championship. This particular bit of action occurred right in front, of where X sat at the ringside. It was piainiv a foul blow, poweriul and paralyzing. I watched Sharkev during the contusion that followed. He stood in his corner with head bowed, biting his lins and clinching his gloved fists. Momentarily. I expected him to give way to one of his habitual bursts of irenzv. I didn't realize that all the time he was fighting with himself—trying desperately to keep baelc the tears and the hysteria to which he so readily surrenders. It was a fine, brave performance, the only creditable item to his account in the fight, and I came away from the fight with the conviction that Sharkey had finally managed to control himself. Not long afterward I went to see Sharkev fight again. This time against Primo Camera In the fourth round, Sharkev hit Camera a rousing smack in the pan that sent the giant sprawling to the ground with a roar and a clatter that had all the ocular and sound effects of a mountain slide. In due course. Camera climbed to his feet and then without being hit he settled back centlv on the canvas. Sharkev seemed to b<- under the Impression that this constituted a technical knockout—which It didn’t and doesn’t. And when the referee refused to make such a decision he made a headlong dive through the ropes, colliding with the blimp-like abdomen of his manager to such effect that he bounded back into the ring and. on his feet. Up to that time nobodv knew Sharkev had a manager or what he was good for. The point I am trying to make here is that vou never can tell what Sharkev will do. a a a I REGARD Schmeling as a very good fighter, but in no sense a great fighter. Sharkey isn’t as good as he used to be. and I am rating him off his best frghts—against Maloney, Wills, Loughran and Camera. Yet I think if he has one of his good nights he will win. But how are you going to tell in advance that he is going to have one of his good nights? Personally. I'm not going to try.

GARDEN CLAIMS TITLE BATTLE IS ‘OUT OF RED’
$146,000 in Cash Reported From Tickets, With $170,000 in Orders
Buzz Arlett Gets 3 Homers —31 for Season By Timet Special BALTIMORE, June 20.—Buzz Arlett's big bat has brought major league scouts on the gallop to Baltimore. The veteran minor league star, who was sent back by the Phillies after a one-year trial, is leading all home run swatters with a total of thirty-one circuit drives. In addition, the giant flychaser is batting at a near .370 clip. Arlett set the pace Sunday for the heavy-hitting Orioles as they won two games from Toronto and took over first place in the International League. He got two home ruas in the first game, and added another in the nightcap. But Buzz was forced to share Sunday’s spotlight with two pitchers. Rufus Meadows, a Yankee farmhand toiling for Newark, pitched a no-hit, no-run game as the Bears defeated Montreal. Meadows is a young southpaw bought by the Yanks last year. Buffalo tumbled out of the league lead by losing the first game of a twin bill with Jersey City, when Cascarella limited the Bisons to one hit and won a l-to-0 decision.
Eight College Crews Set for Title Grind
BY STUART CAMERON United Pres* Sports Editor POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y„ June 20 —Eight varsity crews, trained to the minute, months of back-breaking preparation behind them, represented eastern and Pacific coast universities today in the thirty-sixth annual Poughkeepsie regatta. The prizes were the national intercollegiate rowing championship and an inside lane in the quest of the Olympic regatta assignment. Shortly before the sun dips behind the purple Catskill mountains, the eight slim cedar racing shells "'ill be pushed down the f le course. Within a period of less than twenty minutes the championship will be decided. The crew good enough to stand up under the punishment of the four-mile grind should be an odds-on favorite to win the Olympic berth. In 1928, California’s mighty boatload won the Poughkeepsie in the record time of 18 min., 35.8 sec.; and went on to capture the Olympic assignment and win the world's amateur championship in the international games. And now, four years later, Coach Ky Ebright has produced another California wonder crew. He thinks his 1932 boatload is at least as good as the record-breaking combination. Rated on nearly even terms with California and Syracuse. the favorites are the University of Washington, and Cornell’s stalwart Crimsons. The less favored crews are those of the Navy, the defend-
The other three members of the United States Davis Cup team were to arrive today, and play Tuesday. They are Wilmer Allison, Francis Shields and John Van Ryn. Allison and Van Ryn appear the i strongest combination in the men’s doubles, but they will have serious ! opposition in Borotra and Brugnon jof France. Perry and Hughes of ! England and Crawford and Hopman of Australia. Supporting Mrs. Moody in Ameri- | ca’s bid for women’s honors are , Miss Helen Jacobs, Miss Sarah Palfrey, Mrs. L. A. Harper and Mrs. Dorothy Burke. Miss Jacobs and Miss Elizabeth Ryan stand out as the strongest American women’s doubles combination.

Schmeling, Sharkey Invade N. Y. for 15-Round Go Tuesday. Bp l sited Press NEW YORK, June 20— That terrible fighting man, Jack Sharkey, has come to town to “knock the block off” Max Schmeling in their fif-teen-round heavyweight title brawl Tuesday night at Long Island City. The Bostonian, breathing fire and brimstone and vowing every brand of navy and Lithuanian curse upon Maxie's black head, parked himself at a downtown hotel and tried to relax. Sharkey had little to say except about 10,000 words describing the various methods of mayhem with which he hoped to prove that Schmeling had “stolen” the title from him two years ago by “dropping to the floor and making faces.” Weigh in Tuesday The champion was to arrive today. Both men will weigh in at the boxing commission's headquarters Tuesday afternoon. Jack and Max concluded their training Sunday at Orangeburg and Kingston, respectively. Neither had been cut up. Neither suffered hand injuries during the long siege of training. Despite Sharkey’s threats and promises, Schmeling remains a slight favorite in the meagre bet- | ting, at odds of 10 to 9. Sharkey will have at least a ten- ; pound weight advantage when they I climb through the ropes. Jack scaled 203 pounds when he finished ! his workout Sunday, and Max reg- ; istered 191. But Schmeling has the advantage in years. He is 26, while Sharkey in 29. President William F. Carey of the Garden jubilantly announced that a tabulation showed $146,000 had been received in actual cash and that $170,000 worth of tickets had been reserved. Title Scrap at 10 P. M. “The cash sales alone have yanked us out of the red,” said Carey. “The total expense of the fight is slightly less than SIOO,OOO, and that includes SIO,OOO set aside as ‘rent’ for the new bowl.” Manager Joe Jacobs, trainer Max Machon and Doc Casey, a famous second, will be in Schmeling’s corner. Manager Johnny Buckley, Trainer A1 Lacey and Trainer Tony Polozolo, will work behind Sharkey. Approximately 500 police will handle the crowd. The main bout is expected to go on about 10 p. m. <E. D. TANARUS.), after five preliminaries. The first bout, a four-rounder between Tommy Walsh of New York and Maxie Pink of New York is scheduled for 8 p. m.

A. A. Race Tightens; Brewers Here Tonight Opener Under Lights With Milwaukee Free to Women; Indians Beat Blues in Twin Bill and Gain on Leaders: Pitchers Shine. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor . Regaining third place in the exciting A. A. race by taking both ends of the Sunday double header from the Kansas City Blues, 3 to 2 and 2 to 1, the Indians will go back to the lights tonight for a series opener with the Milwaukee Brewers at 8:15. The contest will be free to women, it being regular "ladies' night." The league leading Millers lost two at Toledo on the Sabbath. Columbus split a twin bill with St. Paul and Brewers and Colonels divided their bargain attraction at Louisville. The outcome of the Sabbath tilts placed the Indians within two and one-half games of the top and moved Columbus right on the heels of Ownie Bush's pace setters less than one-half game behind.
Milwaukee, riding fourth, is pressing the Tribesmen and the Brewer Tribe series consisting of six games and opening tonight is expected to supply a lot of action at Perry stadium. Double headers will be played Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. at 1:30, and a single fracas Thursday night will wind up the Brewer visit. Boys under 16 will be guests of Owner Norman Perry at Wednesday's twin attraction. Tribe Pitchers Deliver The Sabbath-day crowd, numbering 6.040 paid, saw an exhibition of great pitching by Bill Burwell and Archie Campbell, Tribe righthanders. In the afternoon's first fray Burwell held the Blues to five safeties and in the second struggle Campbell let down the Kaws with six blows. The Burwell victory was an errorless contest. Ernie Wingard's double drove in two Tribe runs and Doug Taitt batted in the other marker with a single. A double by Boken scored the two Kansas City tallies. Harold Smith, curve ball artist, gave the Indians a real fight and only six hits were collected off his offerings in seven innings. Dawson pitched the eighth for the Blues, Smith retiring for a pinch hitter. Campbell Tightens The second attraction developed into another mound battle between Osborne and Campbell. The Blues chalked up their lone run in the second on Grigsby’s double, Boken’s safe bunt and Snyder’s single. During the remainder of the way, however, Campbell allowed only two blows, one in the third and one in the ninth after two were down. The home nine tied the count in its half of the second when Taitt and Rosenberg worked the double steal, the former scoring. In the fourth what proved the winning run went over. Taitt led off with a double, advanced on an out by Sigafoos and scored when Smith uncorked a wild pitch. Smith was guilty of three wild pitches, two of the heaves coming in Tribe scoring innings. Taitt in Limelight Taitt’s all-around performance in the closing tilt was brilliant. He collected three hits, one for twocushions, scored both runs, pilfered two bases and played a marvelous fielding game in the deep right pasture, twice making long runs to the wall to drag down tremendous drives out of the blinding sun. The Indians lost the long series, three games to four, but felt some new life stirring today as a result of grabbing the Sunday twinheader. The Indians had lost four double bills preceding the Sunday bargain. Eddie Zwillings Blues annexed Saturday’s tilt, 5 to 2. Bolen was wild on the Tribe slab and was touched for twelve blows. The Indians were held to six hits. LOTT, MRS. HACK WIN By Times Special CINCINNATI. June 20.—George Lott, national clay courts champion, and Mrs. Dorothy W.

VET CATCHER SIGNED A1 Devormer, veteran catcher, was at the stadium Sunday and it was announced he had signed a Tribe contract. This gives the Indains three catchers and it is presumed Tom Angley is in another clinch with the club offiicals. However, it was explained Tom left Saturday’s game in the eighth on account of the heat, Riddle relieving Riddle caught both tilts Sunday and in a fancy performance despite the double assignment. Ray Fitzgerald, outfielder, recalled from Toronto, is due to report for tonight s game and when he goes on the eligible list the Indians will be one over the player limit unless one pastimer is suspended or sent away.
