Talking it OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 7.—1 suppose when James A. Farley writes his autobiography it will be entitled "From Cauliflowers to the Capital." Or, possibly “From Uppercut to Upper Crust.” Farley is quitting the boxing commission this week to manage the presidential campaign of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Democratic white hope, who they say, is fast on his feet, but not much of a puncher. Moreover, it remains to be seen whether he can take it downstairs. Farley's man he* a good name but he can't hope to get by on that alone. Yhere have been a lot of young Sullivans and young Corbetts and young Dempseys but lew of them ever amounted to anything. It may be that they didn't have the right kind of a manager That'i one thing Franklin Delano'* go,. Farley la tops when It comes to managing. Some of the boys say he could even take Camera and make him the. world champion, though personally I think that i going a little too far. After all, there must be some limit to the man's genius. Even so, Farley got Ripper Roosevelt the heavyweight match with Battling Hoover out in Chicago last week when there were two or tnree other slashers who. rated off their records, figured ahead of him. And everybody knows that you've got to get a match before you can win a championship. So that was an Important victory for the Jack Kearns of politics right off He sold his man to the promoters despite the fact that there was no clamorous demand for the match and notwithstanding that there was little in his man’s record in the way of knockouts that could be used for ballyhoo purposes. ft a it 1 DIDN’T hear what the terms were, but I suppose the Ripper is going in on a flat guarantee, which seems to be the custom with the heavyweights in the White House division, though I am told that when Harding was the champion, he was handled by a bunch of chiselers and the outside, off-the-record split-up was terrific. I Imagine that It is with a pang of re?ret that Farley. U wrenching himself away rom the boxing commission. Truthfully he can yodel. -You Made Me What I Am Today. Until Farley moved into New York to take command of the beak basters, he was an obscure upstate party loyalist. Now he is a national political figure. As the czar of boxing Farley had many fine qualities— and some that were not so fine In one respect he was a typical politician. He used the office for his party, for his friends and for himself. But with it all, he was fair to the game, fearless in his edicts and firm in his prosecution of larceny. Farley combined the worst features of a politician with the best features of a sport overlord. Operating on his own and independent of party obligations and personal ambitions he would have outlandlsxed Landis as an administer of the game’s conduct. He had all the necessary requisites. a u tt THE office of boxing commissioner carries no salary, and since it is no fertile field for gratuities, its allurements must lie in some other direction. Some people take the job because they like to see their names in the newspapers. Others because they profess to have a deep spiritual interest in the sport. If you were to ask Farley why he took it I believe he would answer in his usually direct way that it offered him an excellent show window for his political ambitions. It kept him in the public eye, enabled him to make innumerable contacts and placed him In a position where he could grant important favors to important people. You never can tell when these favors will come back bearing heavy interest. Farley, for Instance, was always an enthusiastic supporter of the Hearst Milk Fund fights. Two years ago he reinstated Schmeling so the German could meet Sharkey for the fund. Also, he proclaimed it a fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, although neither Sharkey nor Schilling held a championship. Asa consequence, the admission prices were increased to $26. There was a foul rule in effect at that time, a rule of the commission's own making, which penalized the fighter perpetrating the foul. If the foul occurred in the first round of a fifteen-round fight he collected only for the first round, or one-fifteenth of his total purse. But neither Sharkey nor Schemllng would fight under these conditions. The rule, primarily was devised to protect the public from fiascos, the assumption being—and it has since been demonstrated to be true—that few fouls are accidental. Ordinarily, Farley would have kicked both the fighters and their managers out of his office, but this was no ordinary situation. So —well, Farley rescinded his own rule, bowed to the 'fighters' wishes, told the public nothing, and —sure enough, Sharkey fouled out. It probably was Just a coincidence that the Hearst-controlled delegations from California and Texas put Farlev's man over on the fourth ballot. But it Just goes to show !!

A. conflicts Minneapolis walloped Toledo and Louisville nosed out Milwaukee. The runner-up Indians are trailing the pace-setting Bushmen by one and one-half games.

Eastman to Get Position tin Times S/iirial NEW YORK, July 7.—Ben Eastman, Stanford’s bespectacled cinder flash, probably will be named on the American Olympic track team for 800 meters without competing in the final tryouts at Palo Alto, Cal., July 15 and 16, it was said today. Joseph England, chairman of the selection committee, and Lawson Robertson, team coach, favor the move. “Blazin’ Ben” hopes to win both the 400 and 800 meters in the 1932 games. He is unbeaten in the 880yard run in two years of collegiate competition. He has broken both the 880-yard and 800-meter records this year. In the Palo Alto tryouts, he will race in the 400-meters. Although he broke Ted Meredith’s 16-year-old 440-yard record early in the season, Eastman lost to Bill Carr of Pensylvania last week, his first defeat.

The Wednesday victory was Wingard’s seventh of the season against six losses and he had a trying time putting it over owing to the fact the Indians were not hiting in the pinches. They scored in the open:ig round on Goldman's double and •vo infield outs, and in the sixth, “o second Tribe marker was regiscred when Manager McCann drew a walk with the basses filled. Two Forced at Plate It was in this round thfe Hoosiers had two runners erased at the plate. They filled the sacks, with none down, on a walk, an error and a safe bunt, but both Sigafoos and Rosenberg forced mates at the plate before McCann drew free transportation to “drive in” a run. Riddle grounded out to retire the side. Not one Indian was able to get the ball out of the infield on Hal Smith in the sixth. The last Tribe marker was chalked up in the ninth when McCann’s infield cloudscraper was permitted to fall safe by the K. C. inner works and on a leng foul by Riddle, the Tribe chief reached second after the catch, whence he scored on Goldman’s single. Wingard Tight in Pinches The Blues were on the point of scoring several times only to fall down before Wingard’s effective hurling. A fancy stop by Sigafoos in the second with the sacks populated saved a lot of trouble for the Hoosiers in that round. Kelly tripled in the third after two down and was left, and in the sixth the Biues filled the paths with two away. Collins, batting for Smith, was tossed out by Goldman on a close play and several pop bottles were hurled from the stands in the direction of Umpire Johnson. A “break” helped the winners in the ninth. Hassler hit for Jack Tising, relief hurler, after one out and Marquardt followed with a single. Hassler fell down after passing second ana by the time he regained his feet the ball was back on the infield and Hassler was knocked off in a run-down play. A fly to Taitt ended the game. Eleven Blues were left on base during the melee and eight Indians were left stranded. Three Kansas City double plays helped hold down the Tribe score. One of the K. C. twin killings robbed the Indians of a run in the second stanza. Kelly caught Riddle’s long foul and made a perfect throw to catcher Snyder to nail Doug Taitt trying to score after the catch. Three Indians were caught at the plate during the series lid lifter. TENNIS STARS SURVIVE Gledhill, Defending Champion, Tops Rhode Island Field. By Times Special PROVIDENCE, R. 1., July 7.

July 7.—Billy Jurges, 24-year-old Chicago Cubs shortstop, was recovering today from two painful bullet wounds, received Wednesday when he was shot by an infatuated young divorcee in a mysterious quarrel in the ball player’s room in a north side hotel. Jurges was wounded in the lower right side and the left hand by bullets from a .25-caliber pistol. The girl, Violet Popovich, also was shot in the left hand. His wounds are not serious, it was reported at the Illinois Masonic hospital, and unless complicalions develop, Jurges will be able to leave the hospital in a week and return to the Bruin lineup in two or three weeks. From her hospital bed, Violet today promised “If I ever get out of this, I’ll never try it again." Jurges has been with the Cubs two years. He is understood to have first met Miss Popovich last season and at one time they were said to have been close friends. William Veeck, president of the Chicago Cubs, said today that the club would not hold an investigation of the affair. “All we are interested in is Jurges’ recovery as soon as possible," Veeck said.

Pirates Take Two From Giants, Run Win Streak to 13 Out of 15

Braves Drop to Third as Cubs Triumph Over Phillies. By Vniled Pres* NEW YORK, July 7. George Gibson's Pittsburgh Pirates continue to play championship baseball, winning both ends of a doubleheader from the New York Giants, Wednesday, 4 to 2, and 3 to 1. This double victory increased Pittsburgh’s National League lead to three and one-half games over the Chicago Cubs, who replaced the Boston Braves in second place by the narrow margin of 1 percentage point. It marked the sixth consecutive victory for the Corsairs and gave them their thirteenth win in their last fifteen starts. Swetonic Wins Again Steve Swetonic. outstanding hurler in the league, registered his ninth victory in eleven starts for the season as he limited the Giants to six hits in winning the opening contest. Jim Mooney and Sam Gibson yielded eleven safeties to the Pirates. Larry French allowed the Terrymen eight scattered hits in winning the nightcap, while the ageing Cuban. Senor Adolfo Luque, was found for eleven- Three hits, aided by an error, gave the Pirates two runs in the seventh to clinch the game. Paul Waner, the league's leading batsman, tied the score in the sixth with a triple. The Cubs rose to second place behind the adroit hurling of young Lonnie Warneke, who turned in his eleventh victory of the season, as Chicago overwhelmed the Phillies, 6 to 1. Warneke yielded eight hits. The Cubs pounded Roy Hansen, John Berly and I tJI Collins for ten.

The feature scrap, a scheduled tenrounder, will bring together Tiger California Crew Choice BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Preas Staff Correspondent WORCESTER, Mass., July 7.—You pay your money and you take your choice here today as the nine finest crews in the United States prepared to dig their oars in the placid waters of Lake Quinsigamond in quest of the right to represent this country in the 1932 Olympic games at Los Angeles. Four races will be rowed today, reducing the field to four. Two races Friday and the field will be narrowed down to the to who will clash on Saturday. California, thanks to its overwhelming victory at Poughkeepsie in the intercoilegiates, is favored to reach the final bracket, although the Poughkeepsie affair was over a fourmile course, while the Olympic trials will be contested over a route that calls for 2,000 meters. That is just a shade under a mile and a quarter, and what a whale of a difference it makes. California is blessed with tremendous power. But the Golden Bears may not be as effective in a sprint. Plenty of the old river dogs around here like the Penn A. C. boatload. Others favor Yale, or Syracuse, Princeton, Harvard, California junior varsity, Washington and Columbia grads. In short, It looks like an open race.
