SARAZEN, VON ELM, SMITH AND ARMOUR TOP OPEN FIELD

151 Start Thursday Bobby Jones Plays British Champ in Exhibition Tilt Today. BY LEO PETERSEN United Pre* Stall Correspondent FLUSHING, N. Y„ June 22. Bobby Jones, playing a round Just lor fun, and Gene Sarazen, paced contestants in the national open golf championship on their final practice snots today. Jones, here merely as a dpectator, and Sarazen, from his triumph in the 1932 British open, were engaging in an informal exhibition match. A small gallery, at $1 each, was expected to follow the play. Most of the field had arrived this morning, and practically every one of the 151 entrants will make the final preliminary tours of the lengthy and difficult Fresh Meadow Club course. The championship play begins Thursday. The tournament shaped up as a real thriller. Most of the foreign threat will be made by Jose Jurado, small-statured Argentine professional, who came within an ace of winning the British title last year. The other invader Is Tomakiki Miyamoto, former Japanese champion. The Japanese plays a nice game of golf, but only by “going crazy” could he be given even an cutside chance of winning the open. Chief pre-tournament speculations rentered on Sarazen along with George Von Elm, Mac Smith and Tommy Armour. Sarazen is playing some of the best golf of his career, and, ten years after he won his first and only United States open title, has the best chance of any player in the field. MTNTIRE, TONY TIE Mclntire and Tony tied for first in the 50-target shoot at Crooked Creek Gun Club Tuesday with 48 each. Miller and Hiser cracked 24 out of 25 each to tie in the handicap and Tony won the doubles with 19 out of 24.

Patriotism Must Have Prompted Judges to Pick Jack; Says Williams

BY JOE WILLIAMS SorU Editor, New fork World-Telerram NEW YORK. June 22.—1 t wasn't Jack Sharkey who lost his head In the big fight over in Long Island City Tuesday night. It was the officials who gave him the heavyweight championship of the world at the end of fifteen rounds of perpendicular milling. They gave the Boston sailor the championship in the face of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary. He had been outpunched. outrushed and outmaneuvered over the greater part of the distance. At the finish he looked out at his amazingly fresh opponent through a thin slit of puffed, bruised flesh that had earlier in the evening been a normal left optic, while Max .Schmeling, the defending champion from Germany, was utterly unmarked. Sharkey's eye was as bad as Dempsey's at Philadelphia. He wasn’t precisely the picture of a heroic victor. Just by what strange processes the officials reached the conclusion that Sharkey won the fight is not known. Perhaps they are patriotic gentlemen keenly intent upon keeping the heavyweight championship in this country—as if the country is not bad off enough as it is. At any rate, you have Jack Sharkey as your new champion, for better or worse. If Germany wants to start another war about that, it may be for the best. It’s about time we had another nice, rousing war, anyway. It was 11 minutes past 11 o’clock when Joe Humphries walked around the ring and picked up the slips of telltale paper from the two judges and the referee. Humphries studied them intently for a moment or so. Then he walked to the middle of the

Ten of Fifteen Ringside Experts Give Maxie Edge Over Sharkey

BY JACK CUDDY United Pm* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 22.—Max Schmeling was “robbed" of the heavyweight boxing championship of the world, his talkative manager cried today, and ten of fifteen leading boxing critics questioned by the United Press agreed wjfh him.

ring, spread his hands in a gesture for silence, and through his two remaining teeth bellowed: "The winnah and new champion.” a a a THE radio men lugged their portable microphones into the ring. Sharkey told the wide, wide world how happy he was. Schmeling said it had been a good fight and that Sharkey was a worthy opponent. But Schmeling's manager was less restrained. “Schmeling didn’t lose the fight, he was robbed.’” Meanwhile the experts at the ringside expressed their astonishment. Most of them had given Schmeling from seven to ten rounds. Even those who sdbred it a close fight agreed the German should have had the decision. There were some dissenters, but the consensus favored the German. I gave Schmeling eight rounds and Sharkey six. The othfeft I called even. To my mind it was fairly close as my card indicates, but I definitely thought the champion should have kept his title. Even if Sharkey didn’t win (as I scored the fight) he produced a good performance. They said he had finally conquered his mental absurdities. For this one time at least they were right. Throughout Sharkey fought a steady, even balanced, intelligent battle. Not once did he show the faintest sign of hysteria. A more tumultuous finish by Schmeling might have persuaded even the astigmatic gentlemen that he was entitled to retain his championship. But the German fought the last round as he had fought all the other rounds. He blocked when he could and punched when he saw an opening. Someone should acquaint him with the dramatic qualities of a flaming windup. In this country these things are important.

cient prize ring battler, and Judge Charles Mathison, a recognized boxing critic, offered no explanation of their official verdicts. Mathison had voted for Schmeling. Judge Kelly, himself an amateur boxer of note some years ago, ruled with Smith that Sharkey won. v Manager Joe Jacobs who piloted the smiling German ex-champion to the title and back again, was especially bitter at the action of the judges and referee. He as much as charged the fight was not on the up and up. “I knew weeks ago that Gunboat Smith would be the referee and that Schmeling couldn’t possibly win if Sharkey finished on his feet,” Jacobs explained. “I announced something of the sort to the press several days ago, hoping to halt such an ending, but I didn’t.”’ But over at the Sharkey dressing room, there was no uncertainty, no gloom. Everything was confidently gay.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Said Sharkey as he stood under the shower, “Well, boys, I certainly proved that I do not fall down in a crisis. I guess I came through this time all right. What’s all this talk about my losing my head, eh?” Sharkey’s left eye was swollen almost shut, and his face was slightly reddened from blows. “Schmeling didn’t hurt me once, but I found him difficult to fight because of his flashing counters. He is certainly an improved man over the fellow who met me two years ago.” Schmeling, in his dressing room, claimed Sharkey fouled him six times with low blows during the bout, and that these fouls should have counted in the official scoring, even if the officials overlooked the fact that he had chased Sharkey all over the ring for fifteen rounds. “None of Sharkey’s fair punches hurt me,” the former champion continued. “We thought we had the fight won easily in my comer. The announcement came as a terrible shock to me.” Schmeling sprained his right thumb in the fifth round, and he almost knocked the nail off his left thumb. His left eye was slightly swollen and his lower lip slightly cut. Jacobs said it was doubtful if he would take any action regarding the decision, because “it probably wouldn’t be any use.” He said Schmeling would continue fighting, and he hoped to obtain a return match with Sharkey. Ah! Another bout! Now, there’s an idea.

Dean Returns, Giants Suffer Third Setback By United Prett NEW YORK. June 22.—New York’s Giants regret that Dizzy Dean changed his mind about deserting the St. Louis Cardinals. The temperamental Texan returned to the wars Tuesday and plastered another defeat on to the wavering Terrymen. The eccentric right-hander pitched so adroitly that the Cards had no trouble downing the Giants, 5 to I, marking the second straight victory of the Cards over New York, and the Giants’ third straight defeat.

This victory moved the Cards from sixth to fifth place in the close National League race and jostled the Giants still further from the pennant course on which their new pilot, Bill Terry, is vainly trying to steer them. Dean yielded only six hits to the seventh-placers. Not until the ninth inning did the Giants finally get their tally on a two-bagger by Mel Ott and a single by Shanty Hogan. Mancuso drove out a home run for St. Louis in the fourth inning. The Chicago Cubs stretched liicir league leadership to two and onehalf games by defeating the Phillies, 12,t0 3, while the second-place Boston Braves dropped a 9-to-3 decision to Cincinnati. a a a Chuck Klein drove out hie nineteenth bomer of the season with one man on in the first inning, to give the Phillies a tworun lead. The Cubs pounded Benge, Hansen and Berlj for fourteen hits, inclnding home runs by Moore and Hartnett. Bar Kolp held the Braves at bay while the Beds slugged Brandt and Cunningham for sixteen hits. a * a Freddy Heimach pitched and batted the Brooklyn Dodgers into a tie for third place with Pittsburgh, downing the Pirates, 9 to 2. Heimach's home run and single accounted for three runs. Tavlor and Stripp also hit circuit blows for the Dodgers. ‘a a a In the American League. Bnbe Walberg pitched seven scoreless innings for Philadelphia, but weakened in the eighth and the Chicago White Sox hunched three of their seven hits to down the Athletics. 3 to 1. Milt Gaston gave the A's only six hits.
