By Eddie Ash Chicago ‘Goes For’ King vs. Jack Clash • mm More Facts on State Fair Speed Card

TPHE steam-up is on for the Jack Sharkey-King Levinsky heavyweight scrap in Chicago Sept. 15 and the promoter who guaranteed the ex-heavyweight champ $25,000 for coming west now sees a chance to avoid a visit to the pawnshop. The Windy City prize fight followers like to see Levinsky do his stuff, win or lose, and they have an idea he will connect with a wild swing and send Sharkey spinning. Jack used to be a clever boxer and could see the punches coming, but when he let himself be hit by the awkward Carnera it is evident he has gone back, if that bout was on the level. However, you can not make the veteran heavies who “dived” for Primo on his long American tour believe he is entitled to the world’s crown. Some of the “divers” say Camera was so pitiful as a boxer that they found it difficult to lose and “make it look good.” a a a van LENA LEVY. Levinsky’s sister, manager and cook, is not losing any slpep over the Sharkey fight She says the King is due to spring ane of his numerous comebacks and upset the Boston windbag. It was Leaping Lena who authored one of the best depression expressions involving the business of trying to coax out the cash customers at boxing shows. She said "In the good, old prosperous days we used to eat caviar after a show in this racket, but are now satisfied with a hot dog. Manager Lena knows the fistic fans will pay to see a slugging match and she announces King will be sent in to flatten Mr. Sharkey or be flattened himself. Jack has four fights scheduled after the Chicago affair and Boston reports say he has trained hard to protect himself against a defeat by the former fish peddler. A beating by the King would just about send Jack all the way down the heavyweight ladder to be tagged as washed up.

EARL McKEE. manager of the skeeball alleys at Riverside, became statistically-minded after a big day's business on Labor day, with the following results: On the holiday there were played 1,844 games on the bowling alleys. In each game nine balls were rolled, so there were 16.596 balls sailed down the alleys. Each ball traveled eighty feet each time it was rolled—forty feet to the target and forty feet returning to the plaver—making a total mileage of the balls for the day 1,327,630 feet, or 251 miles. There are nine alleys at Riverside, RACE fans*who are taking advantage of the fine program offered this week at the Indiana State Fair are witnessing some of the best harness events found anywhere. A comparison made by Harry Jones, in charge of the fair speed program, revealed that the card at the Hoosier expostiion is as good or better and has attracted horses of equal caliber to those at Syracuse, N. Y. Jones found that on Monday at Syracuse twenty-two horses were entered in five events and the fastest time was 2:o2’*. At the Indiana fair, twenty-eight horses were entered in four events, and there were tnree heats in the 2:02 class and one run in 2:02‘-4. In the 3-year-old Horseman futurity at Syracuse for a purse of $6,562, the time was 2:03 4 and 2:03 4. In the 3-year-old trot Wednesday here, for a purse of S7OO the time was 2:04, 2:04 and 2:o6’i. ana a a a IN the Fox stake classes for 2-year-olds at Syracuse, there were only four starters for the purse of $4,265 and the t ; me was 2:08. Here for a purse of S3OO there were nine starters and the time was 2:09 and 2:084. Tuesday there were thirty-four starters in five events at Syracuse and here there were forty-six in the same number. The best time in the east was 2:024 and here it was 2:01*4. The "over night" races have been especially good, showing up as well or better than many events in east The 3-year-old pace at Svracuse for the Horseman and Fair World stake of $2,165 brought marks of 2:03 and 2:03 V The comparable event on Friday's race card at the Indiana track is expected to better the eastern mark and the purse totals but S7OO. a a a a a a FRANK SIGAFOOS will be appointed a ‘•judge’’ at Perry stadium tonight before the Indians and Hens start action at 8:15. Indianapolis attorneys will present Siggie with a set of law books and then inform him he is an "Yer Honor." The slugging second sacker of the Indians studies law during the off-season and plans to hang out a shingle and become a barrister after he retires from the diamond. The Indians entertained before Wednesday night’s game with an exhibition of "phantom infield practice,'* going through all of the motions without using a ball. However, those were not phantom base runners and phantom hits that Columbus used when the game got under way. a a a a a a Manager Killefer of the Tribe will leave by plane for California early Monday morning. He has been away from his family and home fireside since February.' a tt O 800 That was the Birds’ 1933 farewell at Perry stadium Wednesday.

Hens Replace Birds as Opponents for Indians “Ladies’ Night” On at Stadium This Evening: Hoosiers Slaughtered by Columbus After Winning First Tilt Wednesday; Rothrock Runs Wild. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Fans at Perry stadium Wednesday saw everything. Bill Burwell pitched the twilight battle for the Indians and downed the Columbus league leaders, 5 to 3, and the veteran Tribester uncorked some real hurling to put over the victory. It was a snappy contest. In the night tilt, however, the teams reversed their form and engaged in a wild fracas of town lot ball, the Red Birds winning the orgy, 24 to 10. It was a base hit cloudburst. Indianapolis used five pitchers as the locals went down under the slaughter. Tising, Butzberger and Thomas, regulars, were bombarded and mauled all over the para and then Johnny Cooney came in from center field and tried his southpaw slants, but the Birds kept pounding away. Ernie Wmgard finally exchanged positions with Cooney and the conflict closed with Ernie in the box and Johnny on first base. Clarence Lefty Heise hurled for the Birds and became exhausted in the ninth and went to first base and let Mickey Heath, regular first sacker, wind up on the Columbus slab. Bud Teachout pitched for the visitors in the twilight defeat.

Hoosier Wins $2,156 for $2 By United Frees HENDERSON, Ky., Sept. 7.—An Evansville (Ind.) restaurant proprietor visited Dade park Wednesday and made a $2 bet on the daily double combination. His two horses, Tryabit and Justice B, won the second and third races. The restaurant man was rewarded with $2,156.40, one of the largest prices ever paid on this form of wager.

the team is well supported by local fans, several Sunday afternoon games will be added to the card, he said. Daily practice sessions have convinced both Sumner and Dienhart they have a strong forward wall, with plenty of powerful reserves, but the back field needs bolstering and lines have been thrown out for some stars well known to local grid fans. Ticket sale for the first * game opened today with ducats obtainable at the stadium and Spalding’s sporting goods store. Irish to Miss Full Back Ace By Tinn'B Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 7.-*-When Hunk Anderson takes his Notre Dame football candidates out for their first drill of the season, his ace full back of 1932 will be missing. Physicians today informed Anderson that George Melinkovich will be unable to play until he recovers sufficiently from the illness that threatened his life this summer.. They said Melinkovich’s ailment had left him in a weakened condition and that strenuous competition might cause a permanent injury. Anderson is expected to hand the full back assignment to two Hoosiers, veteran Stave Hamas from Hammond and Don Elser, giant sophomore from Gary.

Red Sox Buy Oriole Star By United Press BALTIMORE, Sept. 7.—Julius Solters, outfielder of the Baltimore Orioles and leading batsman in the International League, has been sold to the Boston Red Sox, Charles H.

He piloted Valor to victory* in the classified trot. Miss Cahill in the 2:24 pace and Rip Hanover in the free-for-all pace. The fourth event, a 2:20 trot, was won by Madelon. with Gib White up. M'CLURE WINS MEET Jimmy McClure, city champion, added the open tourney at Paddle Club to his list Wednesday night, defeating Bob Rowe in the finals. McClure defeated Bob Ryker and Rowe stopped Jerry Jacobs in the semi-finals. Doc Goldman and Dick Holmes annexed doubles honors. CITY PUGS AT CHICAGO Jackie Purvis, local welterweight veteran, will meet Solly Dukelsky of Chicago in the eight-round main event at Marigold Gardens, Chicago, next Monday night. Paul Lee, local bantamweight, will appear on the same card. On Tuesday night, Henry Hook, local bantamweight, and Clem Reed, local welterweight importation, will appear in fights at Northwest Stadium, Chicago. All ooxers named are from the Kelse McClure stable.

Steve O’Neill’s Toledo Mud Hens will invade the stadium tonight for a single tilt with the Indians. It will be a brief series and another single game Friday night will close it out. Women will be admitted free to the grandstand tonight, with or without escort, with the payment of the federal amusement tax of 10 cents. It will be the first “ladies’ night” since the Tribe returned home/ That League Pay-off Toledo is in fifth place, which pays off SIOO to each player and the Indians are in third position, which will reward them with S4OO apiece if they are not ousted from it by Sunday, the final Gay or the season. St. Paul is fourth, three games back of the Hoosiers. Louisville will follow the Hens here and play three games, one Saturday night and two Sunday afternoon. Jack Rothrock was the big noise for Columbus in the hectic encounter Wednesday night. He was struck by a pitched ball his first time up and then followed with six consecutive hits, including three doubles and a triple. He scored six runs and batted in four. Wear Out Catchers Both clubs used two catchers, the starting backstops calling for help under thejreat and the heavy work. Riddle gave way to Angley and Delancey retired in favor of Ward. Delancey walloped in five runs while he was in action. There was a flock of extra base blows, with both sides combing the sphere. Riddle, Chapman, Cooney and Bedore got two-base swats for the Indians. Five triples and four doubles were blasted by the Red Birds. It was a long night and the contest required two hours and thirty-one minutes. The Birds rallied twice for four runs and twice for six runs. It was a dizzy affair. Rothrock’s amazing batting spree probably will go down as some sort of a record for the league.
