EQUIPOISE SEEKS SEVENTH 1932 TURF TRIUMPH IN ROW

7 Race in Rich Event Whitney Star Prohibitive Choice in $20,000 Cup at Arlington. CHICAGO, July 9.—Equipoise, 4-y.*ar-old thoroughbred, today sought his seventh straight triumph of the 1932 turf season and the first victory of his career at a mile and a quarter. C. V. Whitney's dark chestnut horse has never won a race at a mile and & quarter, but indications were that he would rectify that shortcoming in the $20,000 added Arlington Cup at Arlington park. Seven entries were named overnight for the third running of the classic and Equipoise ruled a prohibitive favorite. There is a growing suspicion that Equipoise is the fastest race horse on the American turf, and many horsemen have been so bold as to suggest that he is the greatest thoroughbred since Man o’ War. Equipoise, one of the best 2-year-old of his year, was laid up with a blind quarter crack in his 3-year-old year. Fred Hopkins, C. V. Whitney’s trainer, however, brought Equipoise back to the races this spring. Last week Equipoise, packing 128 pounds, set anew world’s record of 1:34 2-5 for one mile. A victory today will boost Equipoise's earnings to about $228,000, placing him among the dozen highest winners on the American turf.

Athletics, Begin Drive for A. L. Flag, Take Second Place, Six and Half Games Back of Yankees; Tigers in Third

By fruited Press NEW YORK. July 9.—Connie Mack, astute manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, may have spoken prophetic words when he predicted that the American League was destined for a real pennant race this season, despite apparent supremacy of the New York Yankees. During the past week the Detroit Tigers and Connie Mack's own aggregation have displayed a belligerence which may make a fight out of this pennant race. While the Detroit Tigers were in second place, they chopped down the Yankee lead to six and one-half

the American contingent were meeting difficulties on the rainsoaked 6,770-yard course of the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. Watrous stroked himself into a position where he may win the Canadian title for the second time, the second man to accomplish the feat. He won it in 1922. This blistering 70, achieved over a course made difficult by rain, gave Watrous a two-stroke lead over “Lighthorse” Harry Cooper, Thursday’s leader, and a threestroke margin over Walter Hagen

pitcher Mooney couldn’t hold the Pirates. The Giants outhit their rivals, 15 to 12, but couldn’t bunch their blows. Earl Grace homered for the Bucs in the fourth frame. Brooklyn moved into fifth position by overwhelming the Cincinnati Reds, 15 to 5. Sixteen hits, aided byfive Cincinnati errors, enabled the Dodgers to wi nthe loosely played tilt. Lefty Clark limited the Redlegs to nine blows, while Johnson, Ogden, Hilcher and Rixy performed for Cincy. The slight margin of one per centage point separates the fourthplace Phillies from the Dodgers, and the same margin sepaartes Brooklyn from the sixth-place Cards. Burt Shotton's Phillies dropped their third straight battle to the Chicago Cubs, 6 to 4. Five Philly errors contributed to the setback. Bob Smith yielded eleven blows, one more than the Cubs garnered off Holley, Berly and Dudley. Bob Brown, Boston’s rookie sensation held the Cardinals to four blows and the Braves won a 6 to 1 decision. Art Shires drove in three of Boston's markers. Dizzy eDan held the Braves in check until lifted in favor of Paul Derringer. CARNERA FACES GROSS By fruited Press NEW YORK.

Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 9.—There seems to be a concerted drive on among the sports’ overlords to give radio the air. Within the last ten days the newest of the popular arts has taken two rollicking jolts on the chin. First, the eastern colleges placed a ban on the mikes, effective with the beginning of the next football season. Now, the boxing commission proclaims a censorship restricting the descriptions of ring battles to handpicked announcers. Ironically, th* highly commercialized fight industry professes to be motivated solely by artistic urges, whereas the Idealistic college people unashamedly admit they are interested only iq the dough. They claim the McNamees and the Husings keep cash customers away from the stadiums. Which is interesting, if true. I always heard the opposite. The college taboo has been discussed in these columns before—very profoundly, too. The boxing of course, can always be counted upon to do very odd things. This latest is an aftermath of the Sharkey-Schmellng fight, in which the broadcasters gave Schmeiing all the best of it—practically every round in fact. And Sharkey, as you know, has alwavs been the commission’s particular pet. The radio account and the official decision did not libe at all, and a boisterous public uproar followed. There were other developments and circumstances that were not altogether pleasant to the sensitive commission. Joe Jacobs roared into the mike that his man JSchmelingi had been robbed. Later, Jacobs charged that the referee. Gunboat Smith (who gave only three rounds to Schmeiing i had been sent into the ring to rob the German and that he (Jacobs) nad been warned of such a conspiracy two w r eeks in advance. For these eruptive remarks. Jacobs was suspended by tne commission without a hearing and up to now, so far as anybody knows, no effort has been made to investigate his indictment, although it reflects not- only upon the Gunboat but the commission itself. * * m THEN, there was the added fact that the commission did not reappoint Harold Barnes as one of the judges. It was Barnes, you may recall, who had the courage to call a foul on Sharkey in the first fight with Schmeiing two years ago when the two other officials claimed they saw none. The commission took no occasion to explain why its most capable representative was thus penalized for his alertness and gameness. So. all in all. the commission did not come out of the fight looking any 100 great. There had to be some sacrificial goats. Jacobs was the first and now the commission’s wrath falls upon the radio. In view of the circumstances anv unkind person might be entitled to wonder lust how the commission would have felt about the radio if the broadcast had been preponderantly in favor of Sharkev. Os course there were a number of newspaper men who were of the firm opinion that Schmeiing won and this being so it would seem only logical that the commission enforce a censorship on the sports pages. I suppose there have been times when the regal gentlemen toyed lovingly with the notion, but for some reason they just couldn’t make up their mnids, I think the publishers ought to be very grateful to the commissioners for their tolerance and broad mindedness, and at the same time maybe it would be a good idea if the editors instructed their boxing reporters to be more polite in their handling of fights, especially when Sharkev is in the ring. And it wouldn’t hurt to mention the names of the commissioners frequently, extolling their noble qualities as public servants. Pictures of the gentlemen, once in a while, might help too. I’ll admit this isn’t much but in a strained situation anv little courtesy is' important. One of the grave social errors the radio made was in not bringing the commissioners up before the mike and letting them sound off from time to time. I’ afraid the boys weren’t very, smart. I didn’t hear the broadcast of the Shar-key-Sehmeling fight. Seeing it was enough For all I know, seeing it might have been worse. They tell me the radio made it sound lik ea thrilling battle. If that is so. I hold the commission is justified in establishing a censorship. Anv description which made that fight seem thrilling was a fantastic exaggeration and the broadcaster who made it either could not see or knew nothing about prize fighting.

Tribe Faces Brewers After Finale at K. C. Indians and Blues Engage in Afternoon Tilt Today; Cooney Holds Kaws as Hoosiers Make It Three Straight Friday Night, 5-1. By Timex Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 9. —The hustling Hoosiers of Chief McCann returned to daylight ball today after combing the K. C. Blues for three :in a row under the lights at Muehlebach field. The fourth and finale j of the saries was carded this afternoon at 3 o'clock and the Tribesmen i will make a swift dpearture this evening for Milwaukee, where the series

with the Brewers will open with a double-header Sunday afternoon. The Indians are through with night ball now for a long spell. The fact the three northern clubs, Milwaukee. Minneapolis and St. Paul, have held aloof from the blazing lamps. Johnny Cooney southpawed his way to a 5-to-l victory over the Blues here Friday night, holding the Zwilling pastimers to seven hits. He was backed by splendid support and as a sample of it K. C. rally with the bases filled and one out and pegged perfectly to Riddle to double up a runner trying to score from third after th 6 catch. Cooney struck out five domestics. got one hit, sacrificed once and batted in one run. The Tribe hit total was twelve, collected off Thomas, left-hander, and Carson, right-hander. It was a sizzling contest and a moun dbattle until the ninth, when the Tribesmen pounced on Carson

Cooney

and blasted over three markers. The Indians scored in the second, fifth and ninth, and the Blues chalked up their lone tally in the fourth on Hassler’s triple and Pick's single. Tribe extra base wallops

were doubles by Taitt and Riddle. The triumph kept the men of McCann one-half game back of the league-leading Milters and made the current road trip record of the Tribesmen three victories and two defeats. The double-header loss at Louisville apparently aroused the fighting spirit of the Hoosiers and they proceeded to make up for that costly setback by crushing the Blues. Cooney was the third lefty to face the Kaws and the third Tribe flinger to go the route in consecutive tilts. Chief McCann has another southpaw available, Bob Logan, the rookie, but it was believed the Indian pilot would use an experienced right-hander on the Tribe mound this afternoon. Harry Rosenberg poled three of the Tribe’s twelve hits Friday night. Riddle collected two, Goldman two and Sigafoos two. Sammy Hale was banished by Umpire Johnson in the seventh when he disputed a close decision at first base on Marquardt and Manager McCann entered the fracas at second base, Sigafoos shifting to third. Jonah Goldman turned In a brilliant fielding game and accepted ten chances without a miscue. His back-handed stop on Boken’s smash in the second got Cooney out of a hole by forcing Mosolf at second. Wingard’s single in the second, a passed ball and a single by Sigafoos produced Tribe run No. 1. The next Hoosier marker was registered in the fifth on Riddle's double, Cooney’s sacrifice and Goldman’s safe blow to left. In the ninth Sigafoos reached first on Boken’s fumble and Tiatt walked.

Ticket Sales Pick Up for Olympics, 3 Weeks Away

BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES. July 9.—The 1932 Olympic games have come upon happy days. With the opening of the tenth Olympiad only three weeks away, the ticket sale has picked up, eliminating the last dark cloud. Six months ago, three months ago, and even two weeks ago there were many local sports observers who predicted the July 30 to Aug. 14 competition would flop. It was claimed that the worldwide depression would prevent foreign countries from sending athletes here. If the athletes di,d come, it was held, they would play to empty seats because of that same depression. , As if to support the first pessimistic prophecy, France, Great Britain, Germany and many others spoke of eliminating or curtailing their teams.
