By Joe Williams Three Old Men Face Y'oung Rinj? Foes a a a Canzoneri, Sharkey, Defend Crowns man Both May Lose Loughran Is Fading
N E\Y YORK, June 20.—Three old men of the ring are getting ready to roll the dice with youth, and with two of them a world title is at stake. The veteran Tommy Loughran meets Steve Hamas at the Yankee stadium Wednesday night, the veteran Tony Canzoneri meets Barney Ross in a Chicago ring Friday night and the veteran Jack Sharkey meets Primo Camera on Thursday of next week. Canzoneri will be defending the lightweight championship, Sharkey will be defending the heavyweight championship, Loughran will be in there doing the best he can in an effort to pick up a stray purse. With years of experience on their side, the three old men of the ring ought to be the popular favorites, but the chances are they won’t. a a a nan Jj'XPERIENCE brings ring wisdom, but it also brings physical fatigue. j Tiie older a fighter gets the less formidable he becomes. To a degree this is true of all athletes but it is severely true of the men who stand in the ring and throw loaded gloves at one another. All the champions go down to defeat at a time when they have learned about all there is to learn about fighting. They go down to defeat because the speed has left their legs, the zip has gone from their fists and their vision isn’t as sharp as it used to be. No one has yet devised a formula by which a healthy wallop to the chin can be outsmarted. Max Baer demonstrated that when he tagged Max Schmeling with a right hand that came all the way in from centerfield to land on the German’s jaw. The greatest ring general in the world couldn't have thought himself out of that predicament. bub bob lOUGHRAN. Canzoneri and Sharkey have been fighting for a numJ ber of years. Loughran has gone back further than the other two and it is probably true that he has taken more punishment. Also, he knows what it means to be hit by an up and coming youngster. This same Hamas flattened him the first time they met. Canzoneri has been slipping by degrees, as all veteran fighting men inevitably must. Not so many weeks ago he was punched around by Wesley Ramey, a comparatively unknown middle westerner. This may have been the tipoff. In Ross he meets the best of the newer crop of lightweights, a fast, stiff puncher with youth riding on Ms side. It will be no big part of a surprise if the title changes hands. The main issue involved in the Sharkey-Carnera fight is practically the same. In one corner you have a fading veteran, in the other a giant of a man in his physical prime. One on the way out, the other on the way in. To figure the winner, all that is necessary is to decide whether the younger man has come up far enough to meet the older man going down. a a a bub ALREADY an enormous amount of expert support has shown for Camera. Most of the fighting men think he will beat the Bostonian. In this group are men like Benny Leonard and Gene Tunney, whose opinions should carry weight. And they tell you they are stringing with him because of his youth and his ruggedness. Corbett was 26 when he defeated Sullivan. Fitzsimmons was 34 when he v.on at Carson City—the oldest heavyweight champion ever to break into that division. Jeffries was 24 at Coney Island. Johnson was 30 when he clashed with Tommy Burns. Willard was 31 when he came to the throne. Dempsey was 24 at Toledo and Tunney was 28 at Philadelphia. Thus the average for the successful challenger appears to be a little over 28 years. And as a general proposition, even that is old in the fighting trade.
16 Women Golfers in Match Title Battles BY DICK MILLER Defending her city championship for the seventh time, Elizabeth Dunn disposed of one of her leading threats to the 1933 crown when she thumped Miss Ruth White, I. C. C. star, 5 and 3, in a first round match at Meridian Hills. Miss Dunn continued to fire the brilliant golf which won her medalist honors Monday with an 81. She fired a 40, one over par, on the first nine, to lead. 2 up at the turn. She won three of the next six holes and halved the others to gain the 5 and 3 edge. Frances Kotteman, one of the -

The remainder of the field of seventy-seven which j played Monday was divided into consolation flights of eight each to play today. Scores of 100 or better were necessary to gain the select sixteen. With veterans battling newcomers, the first round today promised to provide some real golf and a few j upsets. Quarter finals will be played Wednesday over eighteen holes. Miss Dunn played a sensational round Monday, traveling the first nine in exactly even women's par 39. She continued to go along smoothly, getting a birdie on the tenth and then consecutive pars until she reached the fifteenth hole, where a sand trap caughf her drive and she finished with an eight. This sent her one stroke over par and she lost another when she got into another trap on the last hole and finished with a 42, two strokes over par and 81 for the round. She was eight strokes better than Miss Dorothy Ellis in second place. COLLEGE GOLFERS PLAY By United Prr ss •BUFFALO. N. Y„ June 20.—Robert J. G.

Horse Sense
BY O. RE VILLA
Lincoln fields, June 20. Jack Westrope again smiled three times for the ladies Monday afternoon as he booted three winners home ahead of the pack after going without a hit all day Saturday. Wayne Wright, who is no slouch himself when it comes to beating these bangtails over the back, also copped a couple for his already good sized string of winners. a tt a Thi* wise boys dug one out of cold storage again when they put Eskimo over in the second Monday to a tune of 12 to 1. Every one had conceded that this old plater was put away for the summer, hut something woke him up after a long rest. Now I wonder what it was? a a a The ice mar. is doing a nice business around the tracks these days No, it all doesn't go to cool the 3 2 for the cash customers. Most of it goes to stables with sleepers. It is cracked up and used in ice bags Which are slipped on these bangtails' legs about two hours before, post time. * I know It sounds fishy and crazy, but nevertheless it is a fact and when some of these nags go postward their legs frozen so cold they don't even care whether the track is ;oft or as hard as a bride's first biscuits. After the freezing party the black bottle is produced and after it is administered they are as free from care as a snake is hips. a a tt This is the last week at Lincoln Fields and then the comedy will move on lo Arlington park. Latonia also opens on Saturday and most of the Kentucky hovs will return to the Blue Grass country. Many of the larger stables already have shipped and are conditioning their hopes at southern tracks in preparation for the opening. KID BAKER TO MEET SHADE AT COLUMBUS Rosy (Kid) Baker, Indianapolis middleweight, was matched today with the clever veteran. Dave Shade, for a ten-round main go at Columbus. 0., on June 30. The feature scrap will be held in Red Bird stadium, home of the Columbus ball club. Baker has been meeting all comers and has established himself as a willing mixer against top flight talent. Manager Kelsey McClure has kept Rosy busy right through the depression and in recent bouts he has battled several prominent middleweights such as Gorilla Jones. Sammy Slaughter. Henry Firpo, Alden Mathews and Willie Oster.

Schumacher Hurls Fifth Shutout; Nats Trail Yanks by Half Game
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 20.—8i1l Terry’s New York Giants are going at this whitewashing business like a bunch of hired hands redecorating the interior of a henhouse. They’ve registered ten shutouts in about one-third of the season, to lead both leagues. This is mighty close to the pace set by the Chicago Cubs in 1907 when they established a record of thirty-two shutouts, a record equaled only once—by the Cubs in 1909. The Giants’ adroitness in snapping on the horse collar may be appreciated by recalling that Pittsburgh led the National League for the full 1932 season by blanking twelve opponents. The league - champion Chicago contributed to the Giant’s shutout total by being blanked Sunday and again Monday, 3 to 0, when Hal

Doc Gant, George Denny’, Ray Roberson, Bill Martin, Bill Diddel and others of the city and state might steal the whole show. Among the pro threats, a good round below par could put Russell Stcnehouse in the money, and Massie Miller, little Noblesville pro, and Oc-orge Stark of Willowbrcok, are both more than capable of walking off with the honors. Charlie Higgs, Pleasant Run pro, who recently burned up the east side links with a 62, representing eleven birdies and seven years, is to be considered seriously. While they mention Ralph Stonehouse of Coffin as the champion runner-up, it is good to remember that Freddy McDermott of Blue River Club. t Shelbyville, was runnerup three consecutive years in 1926, 1927, and 1928, and that he has rounded both Broadmoor and Blue River in 65 strokes each, course rec-
Schumacher let them down with three hits for the fifth goose egg he has handed out this season. It made a total of twenty-six consecutive innings in which Giant flingers didn't permit a run. Young Schumacher bested Charlie Root in a thrilling mound duel, despite the Giants’ four errors. Root allowed seven hits. This victory extended the Giants’ league lead to one and a half games over St. Louis, which was nosed out, 6 to 5, by Brooklyn. A four-run spun in the seventh enabled the last-place Phillies to down Cincinnati, 8 to 7, although outhit by the Reds, 14 to 12. Chuck Klein hit his twelfth home run of the season.

Spring Fever Coast Golfer Plays 200 Holes and Claims Marathon Mark. By United Press LOS ANGELES, June 20.—The birdies that Bob Swanson dreamed about were not the kind that build nests and raise little ones. They grow—sometimes—on golf courses. Swanson had a good sprinkling of them in his collection when he drew up to a tottering halt at, the end of 200 holes calculated at 41 miles not including hooks and slices—at Sunset Fields Monday night and claimed anew golf marathon record. Swanson, an unemployed pro, started at dawn. He played in his barefeet. Along about noon, he swathed his ankles in tape and put on shoes.

Hens Trounce Indians and Also Halt Sigafoos Tribe's Record-Breaking Slugger Finally Gives Way Under Strain: Recheck Discloses Frank's Mark Is 39 Straight: Special Ladies' Game Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The Indians were on the receiving end of three crushing blows under the lights here Monday night when they tackled the Toledo Mud Hens in the series opener. The home nine was knocked off. 6 to 3 for their seventh straight setback; BUI Thomas, ace of the local staff was hammered out of the box in the eighth, and Frank Sigafoos’ recordbreaking batting streak was brought to an end. Asa result the men of Killefer are clinging to second place by a mere whisker and Columbus is nine games out in front. The champion Millers and St. Paul Saints are trailing the Tribesmen by just a couple of jumps, and if the Indians don't start clicking shortly they are going to nose dive in the race with the same speed they bounced up when they staged a victory march of thirteen in a row.
Sigafoos was stopped at thirtynine games, a re-check disclosing one game had been overlooked, a tie on June 4, second half of a double-header with Milwaukee in which he got two singles. Lou McKenna of St. Paul, American Association keeper of records, unearthed the discrepancy Monday night after a tedious probe of home and road box scores. Beats Record by Three The mark of thirty-nine is three ] more than the old A. A. record posted by Bob Fisher of Minneapolis in 1921. Sigafoos was stopped in his tracks when he finally missed out. Frank failed to get the ball out of the infield Monday night, going down on strikes twice. He faced Thornton Lee, southpaw, three times, and Monte Pearson once. Pearson is a right-hander. Sigafoos got sixty-six hits during his long batting splurge. The strain told on the popular Tribe second sacker as well as on his mates, and it’s possible that with the tension over the team as a whole may do an about face and recover stride. Hens Rally in Eighth The Indians held a lead of 2 to 0 for seven innings Monday, but in the eighth things happened and the Hens sent Thomas to the showers with a four-run rally. The Tribe got one of the markers back in its half, but was pushed right out of the picture in the ninth when the visitors blasted three hits and two runs off Jim Turner. The defeat was charged to Thomas and Thornton Lee was credited with the win. It will be a special “ladies’ night” at the stadium this evening and women will be admitted to the grandstand without charge, except Federal tax of ten cents. The short series will close Wednesday night and on Thursday the Indians will invade Louisville for four days. Rosenberg Released Herman Layne played left field for the Indians Monday. He was picked up after Louisvlle cut him off. Herman starred for Indianapolis several years back and Was with the 1928 Tribe pennant winners. Harry Rosenberg was released to Ft.. Worth on option, but it was reported by Manager Killefer that Harry objects to the heat of Texas and prefers to land in the Pacific Coast League. He resides in San Francisco. The Indians got away to a fast start in the Toledo opener, chalking two markers in the first round, but Thornton Lee tightened on them after that. Lee was removed for a pinch hitter in the eighth and Bachman and Pearson finished out the battle on the Hen mound. Johnny Cooney made some dazzling catches in center, taking one out near the flag pole in the ninth. However, Johnny was careless on Reiber’s blow in the eighth and let it roll away, the miscue proving costly. He had seven putouts in the middle pasture.

Jack Refuses Garden Post By United Prct * BUFFALO. N. Y„ June 20.—Jack Dempsey, promotor of the Max BaerMax Schmeling bout, will not become matchmaker for Madison Square Garden in New York, he said here Monday night. The Garden and its policy of outside “instructions” has ‘smothered’’ some fine boxing promoters, including Tex Rickard and Jimmy Johnston, he asserted. “When you're making matches for the Garden, you're not making bouts you think are best, but rather the bouts that some bird down on Wail street or Park avenue thinks should be promoted,” said Dempsey.
