Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Tonight over in the Sunken Garden of Long Island, Mickey Walker steps out against Max Schmeling in a fifteen rounder— The Yanks and the Cubs tumble to the greensward Wednesday in the opening skirmish of the world series— Schmeling can’t miss. Neither can the Yanks. That's what the dope says—but I have a hunch that if both of them don’t miss one of them surely will. And my hunch is based on nothing more substantial or shrewd than that this has been a tough year for favorites, and an extraordinary year for surprises. The Olants were favored to win the National League championship, and look where they finished There were three or four colts that were considered equally as prospective winners of the Kentucky Derby. Not one of them, including the heavily played winter book favorite. Top Flight, even started, and the race went to a horse called Burgoo King This was typical of the general trend on the turf. The climax came a week or so 3s°to h l* U ®‘ Patcll won the futurity Young Ellsworth Vines beat the great Gochet twice, once in France when they said it was a mistake, and again over here by way of proving that it wasn't. Gene Sarazen performed the incredible feat of winning both the British and the American open in record figures—and then failed to qualify for the p. G. A. For the first time in history, a Canadian Invaded America and won our amateur golf championship. It wasn't that C. Ross Somerville was not deemed sufficiently skilled to win the tournament but the numerical odds against him seemed entirely too great. This week the women arc holding their championship at Salem. Don't be surprised if Kate Smith or Winnie the Pooh cart away the silverware. Form took a pasting in the Olympics, too The fastest human—Wykoft—wasn't Sood enough to make the sprint team. The est high Jumper in the game—Spitzfailed to qualify. The greatest 440 man the college world ever turned out was beaten twice by a comparative unknown from the east. Japan sank the vaunted American swimming team without trace. * a a SO, Schmeling can’t and neither can the Yanks, eh? Well, maybe not, but quote a few other standouts that seemed just as secure and just as certain this season wound up flat on their backs mumbling something abtout saving the women and children first. It has been such a fantastic season that even the gay blades who go in for wagering found themselves actually losing on winners. Schmeling successfully defended his heavyweight championship against Jack Sharkey only to see the referee and the Judges take It away from him. In deference to Sharkey's high sense of sportsmanship, I believe that if he had seen the official piracy he would have spurned the 111-earned decision. It so happened that Sharkey had been so enthusiastically and so frequently baffed in the eyes by the German that he could not see. tt tt tt IN recalling these various inciI am trying, as you probably E?we suspected, to convince myself tfeat Walker and the Cubs ”eally hav a chance to win—l i.iean something better than one of those romantic and poetic outside chances. There isn't any sanity in being wrong just to be different. I'd definitely like Walker if he were younger. Taking him by and large he has Deen one of the all-time greats of the ring. How much of his old fire and drive he’s got left is the unknown quantity. Nobody can tell until he starts throwing that left hook—and fifteen rounds Is a long route for a veteran. Every advantage will rest with Schmeling, physical and mental. The German is larger, heavier, stronger and better conditioned. longer, and that’s a terrific advantage in straight punching. Walker's experience gives him the edge in generalship but he first must maneuver the German in a position where he can use it. and the boys tell me that a right to the Jaw will still offset all the generalship in the world. Carey Takes Three Races By Times Special FT. WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 26.—80 b Carey, young Anderson pilot, won three of the five events on Sunday’s speed program here.

Guy Bush, who will start the first game, eloquently served notice on the Yankees that he was ready for Gehrig, Ruth & Cos., by pitching three innings against Cincinnati Sunday without allowing a hit. As prearranged, Bush pitched three innings, Pat Malone three innings, Bud Tinning two innings and Jakie May one. The Reds beat the Cubs, 5 to 3, scoring all their runs off Malone in the sixth inning. Grimm still is undecided about the pitcher for the second game, preferring to wait until after the first game to make his decision.

When Cox weighed in for Dublinsky last Tuesday he scaled only a quarter of a pound under the Chicago battler. He tipped the scales at 137%, while Dublinsky weighed 137*2.

Potsy Clark’s Portsmouth Spartans won their first National Professional League football tilt here Sunday, defeating New York’s Giants, 7 to 0.
Athletics after three years’ supremacy, were the favorites. They flattened all opposition with a highpowered attack built around Ruth and Gehrig. The Cubs can riot boast of sluggers like the Babe and Lou, but their rush from Aug 2, when they changed from Rogers Hornsby’s leadership to that of Charlie Grimm, showed their championship caliber. The Cubs have been on their toes every minute since Grimm took charge. The veteran Guy Bush will pitch the opening game for Chicago. The recent poor performances of Lefty Gomez, Red Rufflng and Johnny Allen made McCarthy’s starting selection doubtful. New York fans believe that the Yankees are "in” because the Cubs have no effective left-handed pitchers. They predicted that the famous "murderers’ row” will blast Grimm’s right-handers clear out of Yankee stadium. This would call for considerable blasting, for the Cubs’ pitching aces include Guy Bush, the sensational Lon Warneke, Malone, Root and the old campaigner, Burleigh Grimes. The receipts for the series are expected to pass the $1,000,000 mark and possibly beat the five-game record of $1,207,864 set in the Yankee-Cardinals series of 1926. The first two games will be played here Wednesday and Thursday, and the third and fourth at Wrigley field, Chicago, Saturday and Sunday. Barring a four-game series, the fifth game will be played at Chicago Monday, Oct. 3. If sixth and seventh games are necessary, they will be played here on the following Wednesday and Thursday.

Schmeling Ring Choice Max Is 8-to-5 Favorite Over Walker in Scrap Tonight. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—That little matter of who will meet the terrible Sharkey man in the next world's heavyweight championship fight will be all but settled tonight when Max Schmeling of Germany, former heavyweight champion, and Mickey Walker of New Jersey, former middleweight title holder, meet in a fifteen-round bout in Madison Square Garden bowl. More than 40,000 people are expected to sit in on the festivities. Latest bulletins from the Broadway betting headquarters have Schmeling established as an 8-to-5 favorite. These odds are not hard to understand, for the German will enter the ring with several highly important advantages on his side. Max Has Advantage ' His biggest advantage will be a physical one. Max will weigh around 190 pounds to Walker's 170. And in all the other measurements —neck, biceps, chest and forearm — Max is the bigger man. Moreover, he’ll have youth and stamina on his side. Schmeling is just 26, and geared for distance. Walker is nearing 32, and shows better over the short route. The fact that tonight’s fight is over the full fifteen rounds works to Schmeling’s advantage. A notoriously slow starter, Max never hits his real stride until ten rounds or ( so have passed. Walker to Seek K. O. What has Walker, little more than an overgrown middleweight, to offset these advantages? Several things. A great fighting heart, for one. The little Irishman has proved more than once that hitting the floor* only increases the furry of his attack. Mickey is more experienced than Schmeling and a better boxer. If the bout should develop into a boxing match. Walker could more than hold his own. But the thing that Walker and Kearns, his manager, are depending on more than anything else is Mickey’s left hand. There’s no gain-saying it's a most effective weapon, when the Irishman lands one (ts his hooks on the right spot, something usually gives. Kearns’ present plans call for his man to answer the opening bell at top speed, to hunt for a knockout in the earl> # rounds before Schmeling gets settled down to work. 98 Women in Golf Tourney By United Press PEABODY, Mass., Sept. 26. —Sturdy Helen Hicks of Long Island began defense of her national women’s golf championship at Salem Country Club today against a field of ninety-eight women, admittedly the best in the thirty-seven-year-old history of the tournament.

\ ankees, Cubs Drop Final Games to Tail-End Rivals
By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Lefty Gomez, Charley Ruffing and Johnny Allen have given poor pitching performances in world series tune-up games, Allen turning in a disappointing performance when he was knocked out of the box in the sixth inning Sunday, as the last-place Boston Red Sox downed the champion New York Yankees, 8 to 3.

Last Tilts Are Split Tribe Closes Season in Fifth Place; Brewers, ' Hens Climb. The best the Indians could get out of the six-game series with the Louisville tailenders, closing the season, was an even break and as the A. A. curtain fell at Perry stadium on the Sabbath the Tribesmen tumbled into fifth place to head the second division. The Toledo Hens knocked off Columbus twice Sunday and grabbed fourth position in the Hickey loop. Milwaukee wound up in third place, one-half game back of the runner-up Birds. The last weeks of the league race were featured by the clinching of the pennant by Minneapolis, winning streaks by Milwaukee and Toledo and the collapse of Columbus and Indianapolis, former pennant contenders. Both Birds and Indians turned to trying out rookies after they were eliminated from the flag running. Chilly Farewell More than 2,500 fans went to ’he stadium Sunday to see the Indians in their farewell games and sat through chilly weather as the ampaign ended. The Colonels won the afternoon opener, 4 to 2, chiefly because the Tribe defense cracked and four errors were charged against the locals. Bolen and Cooney pitched for the Tribe and McLean for the visitors. The second contest was called after the sixth on account of darkness and Indianapolis won, 3 to 1, with A1 Butzberger, southpaw, formerly of the International League, hurling for the home nine against young Bass on the Colonel mound. Three Twin Bills Split It was share and share alike in the three twin bills in three days. On Friday the scores were 8 to 0, Indianapolis, and 3 to 1, Louisville; on Saturday the results were 11 to 4, Louisville, and 5 to 1, Indianapolis, and on Sunday the teams again divided the laurels. Field events were held before action started Sunday and there was a delegation of Richmond fans on hand to welcome Pete Chapman, rookie fly chaser with the Indians. His home-town admirers presented him with a huge floral piece and an expensive WTist watch. He tried hard to respond with a flock of hits, but was able to get only one safe during the afternoon. He made a feature catch, however, when he dashed in and snared Funk s fly with one hand after a long run. Several Tribe players left for their homes immediately after action ended. Others left the city late Saturday and early Sunday. Some of the Indians will remain in these parts for a short time and play exhibition games if the weather makes a turn for the better. TRIBE CHIEFS GO EAST Perry, Hendricks and Killefer Will Attend Big Games. Norman A. Perry,* owner of the Indians, and his new mrnr-ger, Wade Killefer, appointed 1933 iribe boss Saturday, along with Jack Hendricks, business manager, will attend the world’s series games both in New York and Chicago.
