Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 23.—1 t is all over but the shouting—and there 1s no telling when that will be over, I mean, the good people are still jabbering about that decision which took the heavyweight championship of the world, such as it is, away from Max Schmcling of Germany. Fnr every person you find who thinks (t was Okeechobee vou will find twenty who are sure It was the Gorgonzola Most of the neutrals are disposed to view the result as another luckv break for two voung men who haonen to weigh over inn oounds and have a fair amount ot boxing savvy. Eventually they will come together again for another big gate in what nrobablv will bo picturesouelv railed the battle of the addled officials. If not here, then somewhere else. There Is talk of an investigation. Mavbe there will be one and maybe there won t. The onlv sort of investigation that would rarrv anv weight is a state one. originating In Albany. An investigation bv the boxing commission of its own activities would be hilarious. It would be like Mr. Gaston Means cross-examining himself. n n u AND suppose Albany did instigate an investigation, what then? One of two things could happen—the abolition of boxing or the naming of anew commission. Whether a change In the personnel of the present commission would be helpful is an open question. Usually the public does not gain much when on* set of political appointees replaces another. About the only difference is in names and addresses. And yet fit Is clear that some sort of action ought to be taken. Certainly the charge by .Joe Jaoobx. manager of Srhmoling. that his fighter was Jobbed out of the championship by two officials appointed for that purpose should be thoroughly aired. Either Jacobs Is emitting tne raucous bleat of the loser or he knows something. This is a serious charge against the Integrity of the commission and the commission’s officials and the statement by William Muldoon that the commission will do nothing about It is not easy to understand. As long as the charge remains uninvestlgaled the suspicion will prevail that the. works were in against the German champion. Muldoon says the decision was all right and the nublic is expected to take it or leave it In the order named When Muldoon says a thing is all right, it is nothing short of lese majesty to lift a questioning eyebrow. o u a IN case you hadn't heard, Muldoon is the sport of boxing itself. For the last two years Schmeling has been the champion of the world to everybody but Muldoon, who did not happen to like the way he went down after Sharkey fouled him. Schmeling’s name has yet to be engraved on that ostentatious piece of sculpture known as the TunneyMuldoon trophy, which records the sequence of heavyweight champions. It is interesting to note that Muldoon will add Sharkey’s name to the list of champions. It is of no concern to me whether Schmeling’s name ever goes on the trophy and I suspect it Is of even less concern to the fighter. But in the interest of square dealing and commensurate reward, may I suggest to Muldoon that he put the names of the two officials who gavp the fight to •Sharkey on the trophy? Particularly since the popular impression .seems to be that they won the championship for him.

Watson Seeks Olympic Job By Times Speciul BLOOMINGTON. Ind., June 23. Cliff Watson, Laurel, Miss., Indiana university’s steeplechase star, will open his campaign for a position on the United States Olympic team at the A. A. U. preliminary trials in Chicago, Saturday.

Johnston, director ot boxing at the Garden, announced he would begin work immediately to bring the two boxers back into the bowl at Long Island City, where Sharkey won the heavyweight championship from Schmeling Tuesday night on a disputed decision. Johnston said he hoped the match might be arranged for September, but if the new champion refuses to meet Schmeling then, he was confident they would fight it out next summer.

BY EDDIE ASH Timet Sports Editor Emmet McCann's Indians and Frank O’Rourke's Brewers will .close their six-game series under the lights at Perry stadium tonight at 8:15 and the new interest stirred up by the Tribe comeback is expected to result in attracting a large crowd to the park.

six out of their last seven starts and are within a game and one-half of first place.

seems to be the only important aftermath of the hulabaloo over Tuesday night's decision. Jack Sharkey is heavyweight champion of the world, and will continue to be regarded so, the New York state athletic commission announced, despite charges by Schmeling’s manager and criticism by the press. Bert Stand, secretary of the commission, said that no official investigation of the Long Island decision had been asked, and that none would be made. The commission's attitude came as a surprise to many Schmeling supporters in New York, who thought an immediate investigation would follow manager Joe Jacobs’ charges that Schmeling had been “robbed” of the title.

whistling smash knocked down by Jack Knott, Milwaukee hurler. Jack tackled it with his bare hand and received a broken finger, the injury compelling him to retire. Double Play Ends it Stiles hurriedly warmed up and faced Ernie Wingard. The crowd was in a turmoil. Stiles “bore down” and put everything he had on the sphere, forcing Wingard to bounce to Connolly at second, a double play ending the action, Connolly to Tavener to Stanton. It was a close shave for the Brewers and it was their lone victory in five starts during the series. Knott held the Indians to seven hits and the Brewers obtained ten against Burwell. The veteran Bill pitched a great game and it was a tough one for him to lose. Bolen beat the Brewers in the Wednesday opener, holding the enemy to six blows. He got away to a wild start, but settled down after the first inning and held the Brewers to four hits and no runs in eight stanzas. Sigafoos Active Frank Sigafoos was the Tribe’s king hitter of the afternoon with three hits in the opener, including a double, and two safeties in the windup fracas, including a triple. He accepted thirteen chances at second in the two tilts. Ernie Wingard boomed a circuit drive over the right field wall in the first fray and one runner was on the paths when he connected. The blow was scored off of Garland Braxton, left-hander, and it was a towering wallop. It was Ernie’s third homer in two days.

Gossip of the Indians

BUD CONNOLLY, former Indian, was a busy lad around the keystone so? the Brewers in both games at the stadium Wednesday, accepting fourteen chances without a miscue. Moreover, he figured in three double plays and started the last one that killed off the Tribe in the nightcap tilt. Buddie came through with several sensational stops. Tavener at short was kept hopping in the second fracas and tore off five chances. v h n Ted Gullic'!) batting streak went to six hits in consecutive times before the Tribe stooped him, or rather Fitzgerald stopped him by making a lone rtinnine catch in deep center. It was a circus play, with Fitz takine the ball over his shoulder. Gullic collected four hits in a row in Tuesday’s second eame and two safeties on his first two trips aeainst Bolen in the Wednesday opener. Gnllic is used only aeainst southpaws. tt The fans were pulling for Burwell to set over in the second tilt Wednesday. Stanton’s drive In the third that went as a triple was handled poorly or he would have been held to two bases or killed off going to third. One was down when Stanton hit to right center. The throw-in bounced through Sigafoos. Kubek walked. Koehler singled, scoring Stanton, and Christensen lined into a double play. n THE Tribe’s marker in the second conflict was chalked up by Sigafoos. He tripled to right and crossed the plate on Rosenberg’s out. Two Indians were caught stealing. Sigafoos in the second and

Connolly singled and was forced when Tavener tried to sacrifice, Burwell to Goldman. Tavener was caught napping off first, Burwell to Wingard to Goldman.

Tavener got an infield hit and Connolly was tossed out by the Tribe lefty. BRAXTON stormed around the box when Wingard hit him for a circuit drive. Ernie reached up and hooked the sphere and it went high and far.

His defeats were by low-run margins when his mates failed to hit behind him. tt tt tt The marvelous thing about Burwell’s great performance Wednesday was that the Brewers mobilized six lefthanded swingers against him. and yet barely nosed him out.

Leo Diegel Takes Lead in U. S. Open With 73; Sarazen Is Second

High Scores Mark Links Battle, With Leader Three Strokes Over Par; 1,500 in Gallery Following Gene and Billy Burke. BY STUART CAMERON limited Pres* Snorts Editor FLUSHING, N. Y„ June 23.—01 in Dutra of California took the lead in the national open golf championship today, scoring a 69, one below par, on his first round. FRESH MEADOW COUNTRY CLUB. FLUSHING. N. Y., June 23. Leo Diegel of Agua Caliente, Mexico, scored a 73, three over par. and led the early finishers in the United States open golf championship today. Diegel went out in 36, one stroke past par, and came home in 37, two over. His unorthodox putting style served him well and his approaching, the most important part of the play on this tricky course, often left him shooting for birdies. The early starters had a weather advantage for a spanking west wind came up shortly before noon and seemed to be increasing. Gene Sarazen, present British open champion and former wearer of the United States crown, scored a 74 for an at least temporary hold on second place. Billy Burke, defending champion, who played with Sarazen,

was one stroke back with 75. Sarazen, the tournament favorite, and Burke attracted the largest gallery of the morning play, fully 1.500 spectators following their tour of the difficult course. Sarazen carded 37s on each side of the nines. He got his customarily long drives and his seconds were well hit, but often short because of the wind. Burke had a 37-38. His difficulty came on the greens. His drives and approaches, although often shorter than those of his playing partner, were in excellent order. Jose Jurado of Argentina, the tournament’s foreign menace, slumped on the inward nine holes and scored a 74, four over par. He had par 35 going out. Other scores: Morte Dutra, Long Beach.
