By Joe Williams 1933 Rintr Champions Don’t Last I^onj? mam Sharkey, Jeby and Corbett 111 All Failed a m w Ross May Ixtse Title Back to Tony

n ew y OKK, Aujf. 12.—One reason there isn’t a srreat deal of interest in championship figrhts these days is that the champions don't stand up very long. Before you can get to know much about them they are knocked off. Three of these mushroom champions were beaten this year. Jack Sharkey was belted out in h:s very first appearance as defender of the heavyweight championship. Ben Jebv didn t last a year as the middleweight champion. And Young Corbett 111 set no record for continuous service as the welterweight champion. You can not get excited or sentimental about champions who arrive m one fight and disappear in the next. It seems to me the old champions lasted longer. Some of them had to retire because they had completely cleaned up their divisions. There was no opposition left. Perhaps thus indicates the old champions were better. There can be little question but that most of them were far superior to such champions as Sharkey. Jebv and Corbett the Third. Os course. Sharkey wasn’t a legitimate champion. A poisonous decision lifted him to the throne. Jeby didn't have anybody to beat He was a second-rater who stood out in a second-rate field. Nobody will ever mention him in the same breath wi ! h the Ketchels or the Grebs. except to get a laugh. Jimmy McLarnin exposed Corbett tfie Third as an impostor. A roaring right to the jaw and Corbett the Third was stretched out cold. mm m A NOTHER champion who may not survive even his first year as a uV title holder is Barney Ross of Chicago. He won the lightweight championship from Tony Canzoneri. They are going to do it all over again here next month and it's no cinch that the result will be the same in fact, Canzoneri is likely to go into the ring the favorite. This is another peculiar commentary on the modern champions verv few of them can muster enough popular enthusiasm to establish them as the betting favorites. Sharkey wasn't the favorite over Camera. The price was even money. Lou Brouillard was a 7 to 5 favorite over Jeby. H* should have been a 1 to 50 shot. That's how far he stood out. I dor, t recall what the price was when Canzoneri defended his title against Ross, but It was pretty short. Most of the smart monev went on Ross It was generally understood that if Canzoneri lost the boys would play a repeater In New York later in the summer. Two fights are always more profitable to champions and their managers than one Whether this thought, influenced the ardor with which the smart monev backed Ross I don t know. mam \T ERY likely the business forces behind the two gladiators had this V return '’"’■l ln minf l all along I suppose that is why the Chicago bout was limited to ten rounds. The Illinois legislature passed a bill extending all championship fights to fifteen rounds. The thought behind it was to permit the state to compete with Nw York for big matches. Canzoneri and Ross could have gone fifteen rounds, which would have emphasized the importance of the championship, but for some reason they decided on the shorter route. The rrprater is to be over the fifteen-round course. There wouldn't be much promotional sense in bringing the boys back in another ten-rounder. Maybe that's why thev passed up the fifteen-rounder at Chicago. I ha\ent the slightest doubt that Canzoneri tried earnestly to win and that Ross simply proved to be too much man for him on that particular occasion. But if the New York Italian wins his title back in the return match next month, I am afraid the skeptics will be most outspoken in their squawks.

K. C. Blues Unpack at Stadium for 3 Games Single Tilt Tonight and Twin Bill Sunday Afternoon Will Close Home Stand: Indians Go Down Before Pressnell Friday Night, 4 to 1. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sport* Editor One game with the Kansas City Blues under the lights tonight and two Sunday afternoon will wind up the current home stand of the Indians and next week the Tribesters will begin their last road trip of the year. The journey will be long and will include visits to every city in the league, starting at St. Paul Tuesday, and clasing at Louisville on Sept. 4. St. Paul. Minneapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Toledo, Columbus and Louisville will be played in the order named. When the Tribe returns on Sept. 5 three short series will be staged with Columbus, Toledo and Louisville, and the A. A. curtain will drop on Sept. 10. The Hoosiers are in fourth place with an excellent chance of holding it in foreign territory’. They were knocked off in the final tilt with the Milwaukee Brewers here Friday, 4 to 1, when young Forrest Pressnell. right hander, held them to seven scattered hits. ’ The lad was in rare form and in six of the nine innings only three Indians faced him

The Tribesmen copped the series. however, three games to two. and hope to grab at least two from the Kawtown Blues before they hit the trail. The opener with Kansas City tonight will begin at 8:15 and ;he Sunday afternoon double-header at 2 oclock. Two Tribe Doubles Pete Daglia was the Tribe starting hurler Friday night and he was out pitched by the Cre%m City flmger. allowing eleven hits. A double by Pressnell, a walk to Kubek and a single by Marquardt got. the Brewers one tally in the third. The contest was tied in the fourth when Pete Chapman lined a double to left center and Frank Sigafoos whistled a two-base blow to the same spot. ••Siggie" was left on third, however. after advancing on Wingards deep fly. In the sixth the Brewers broke loose with a cluster of four hits good for two markers, and in the seventh Kubek doubled after one away, stole second and scored on Koehler's double. There was no further run-making. Pressnell Tightens The last hit obtained off Pressnell was a single by Layne in the fifth, and he was doubled up with Lee. Thereafter, the home nine was retired in one, two, three order. Angley batted for Daglia in the eighth and struck out, and Al Butzberger closed on the mound for the Indians in the ninth, allowing one hit and a walk. Attendance Friday was about 3.000. The fans are pulling hard for the Tribe to finish at least fourth, which pays S2OO to each player under the bonus system. Third place pays S4OO and it s a good guess the Hoosiers will keep hustling and try hard for that berth despite the fact they will be in enemy camps the greater part of the waning days. Asa matter of fact, second place is within reach of the locals. Millers and Saints were tied today for the runner-up position to the leagueleading Columbus Red Birds.

A meeting will open at Detroit. Sept. 2 for thirty dav? this being the first meeting under th r.ew Michigan law Wher- the bangtails are coming from to All this meeting is worrying the DeTolters as well as the opera’ors of manv other tracks which dates conflict with those of Detroit. HAS any one picked a Kentucky Derby winner for next year? Would like to hear from any one whothinks he has discovered something und®r cover that looks like it could hold up and win the Kentucky event. It doesn't look to me that any one horse is pointing toward the big show at this time, and all the good 2-year-olds are mostly fillies, which we can t put down as being much when it comes to running the killing mile and % quarter Derby distance.
