T HE advance New York ticket sale for the Tony CanzoneriBamey Ross lightweight championship bout, the big crowds at important major league baseball games and improved attendances in minor league cities that still are in the running of their respective races changed the opinion of many experts on the outlook for a financial comeback in sports. The public has succeeded in convincing promoters and baseball club owners that it will turn out with the cash if an entertaining “show" is offered with something at stake. Fistic fans know that Canzoneri and Ross are willing mixers and aggressive battlers. The title will be in the balance. The boys have trained hard and there is confidence % in both camps. Canzoneri dropped the crown to Ross in Ross’ home town in a match that produced lively action. a a a a u u AS for baseball, the weather of September has been perfect for pastiming and the clui* that declined to strengthen, or were unable to, have lost out on a lot of money that would have come through the gate during the waning days Giants, Pirates, Braves, Cubs and Senators in the major loops cut in on the benefits of late-season winning baseball and In the American Association Columbus and Minneapolis reaped the profits. American Association baseball scribes gues#cd their league about right last spring, picking Columbus to finish first and Minneapolis second. Indianapolis was selected third or fourth. St. Paul was the only surprise, having been placed m the second division by the consensus. Toledo was a threat at one time, but had the bad luck to lose star performers by recall to the majors. The Hens, being financially embarrassed, tried to get by with too many optioned players. a a a a a a ONE American Association graduate enjoyed a grand big league debut Thursday when Johnny Marcum, just up from Louisville, hurled for the Athletics and blanked Cleveland with five hits Garland Braxton, taken back up by the Browns from Milwaukee, was knocked out of the box in the first inning by the Yankees. B B B B B B ON Saturday Babe Ruth's all-big league team for 1933. with batting order, will be published in The Times. He wall select ten players, including two pitchers, nicking the stars out of each major loop. He has been making these selections for several years and the fans over the country usually agree with him. How’ever, the Bambino sometimes names one or tw r o players the fans are ready to give him an argument over, but in the main his teams meet with approval. The guess is that he bucked up against a difficult task in naming one of his pitchers this year and doubtless was a little puzzled over third base, left field and the catcher. Watch for the Babe s mythical all-America team. It will be in all editions of The Times Saturday. aaa a a a THE late issue of Sporting News carries anew Rabbit Maranville story that is a pip. The veteran always has been a spark plug and an individual of the tvpe to keep his name in the headlines. He played on the champion Boston National in 1914 and is with them now, nineteen years and still going. He was the star shortstop of the team in 14, later moved around with other dubs and then returned to Beantown. Well, here's the new Maranville yarn. His daughter, about 20. was attending a Boston game one day and the Rabbit stopped to chat with her. To Papa Rabbit’s surprise she asked: “Daddy, do you know what I wish? I wash I had a baby.” Maranville was knocked back on his heels by the “wish then asked his daughter the reason for that “wish." And she replied. “Well I'd like to take him out to the game some day and say, Look, sonny’, there's grandpa out their playing second base.’” aaa a a a

‘l’ll Be Back Next Year,’ \ ines arns; Plans Rest

BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Sept. B—Fortified by the knowledge that at least a year must elapse before we can be proved in error, this writer washes to give off the prediction that one year from today, Henry Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena, Cal., again will be the champion of tennis. In other words, that defeat Bryan Grant handed him Thursday, and all the other lickings he has taken since the turn of the year, have not caused us to lose faith in the man his friends call “Slim.” To tell you the truth, we never liked him better than during his match with Grant. Those of you who admire a champion who goes dowoi fighting, a champion who can take it. should have been him against the little Atlantan. Not once during the entire three sets did he have his shots under control, but did he play safe? Did he baby the ball? He did not. From the first ball to the last he slugged out with all his power, shooting not for the middle of the court, but for the side

Barney Ross, Lightweight King, Won’t Be Outgamed by Ex-Champ

BY JOE WILLIAMS Sports Editor, N. Y. World Telegram. T AKE SWANNANO, N. J., Sept. B. —Barney Ross is out here at the old Ringling estate, doing bull-pen work for his fifteen-round championship fight next Tuesday night with Ton# Canzoneri at the Polo Grounds. It was from the Italian that he won the lightweight title a few months ago. This is to be his first defense. Ross is a New York Jew. He was bom in the Ghetto, that raucous, aromatic section of the metropolis which is peculiarly fertile ground for lightweights. Out of the fetid tenements have come such men as Bernstein. Leonard, the Beecher brothers, Cross. Terns. Goldstein and Singer to swing the militant mitt. Ross, whose tabernacle name is Rosofsky. was moved to Chicago as a babe and it was in the lake city that he developed, first as a street fighter with roving gangs, then as an amateur in the Golden Gloves, and ultimately as a professional under practiced eyes—an adventure not uncommon to fistic standouts. a a a a a a THERE may be some who will question the social importance of a professional fighter—even a champion, but Ross might have done a great deal worse. The particular neighborhood in which he spent his formative days was scarcely conducive to high ambitions and lofty resolves. It was a neighborhood where poverty, ignorance and desperation ran as an entry. In this human jungle where the refinements and niceties of civilization were a hideous jest, growing boys formed their own armies to fight for the simple right to exist. The Jews against the Italians, the Poles against the Negroes, and, I suppose, the Irish against everybody. Their weapons were fists, rocks, knives. Ross managed to survive these vicious influences; he did his share of street brawling, but in between times he went to school, and he stayed there until he finished all the classes the department of public education had to offer. In the end he graduated, an honor student. A triumph for innate character, decency and faith in the future. a a a a a a ONE night, young Ross came home to find his father lying in a pool of blood on the floor of the smelly little store which for years had provided the few dollars the Rosofsky family had to live on. It was murder. a stickup. The young gangsters were growing up. Some of them grew up to join notorious beer mobs. In recent years. Ross had read with pity of the deaths of four men who had been boys with him in that grisly neighborhood. Ride victims. This. then, was the poisonous atmosphere in which young Ross grew to manhood. i mention it in scattered detail because it seems to me t' answer the most vital question involved in the forthcoming fight, namely ‘lt tha guy game?” How could he help but be? Character breeds gameness and Ross must be loaded with it. For my part. Canzoneri may outfight him but he will never outgame him— and I question that he will be outfought. I watched him apuinst bis salaried fungo hitters Thursday, and he wasn't impressive. There was a distinct note of sluggishness in his work. He may be stale. They are laying him off today. That will help.

having a big year in the right garden for the Indians. Wade said the lad is a real comer and fully up to big league standard, but he did not come to a definite agreement for his sale. Manager Donie Bush ; of the Reds said there may be something doing on this good prospect within the next few’ days, but nothing at all certain at the present time.”

i and baselines. His was the hard way. always. a a a WE don't care who you are, you'd have gained a kick out of the way he ended the match. At match point. Grant drove a deep one into Vines' court and came in behind the ball. The safe thing to do—the thing nine players of ten would have done—incidentally—w r as to lift a lob. Not Slim. He took it on his backhand and let fly, setting his sights for a distant corner. The ball caught the top of the net, hung there for a second—and then dropped back. a a a IF he had any regrets, any exexcuses. he kept them to himself. As he left the clubhouse, shorn of all the glory that was his a year ago, his parting words were: | * Tell the boys they’d better look out next year, because I'm coming back.” He will. too. All he needs is a rest. Twelve months of almost con--1 tinual play has robbed him of his touch, but he'll find it as quickly ! as he lost it.

Tribe and I lens Fight Hard in Closing Tilts Important Money Is at Stake as Race Nears End: Logan Shines iji Relief Role Thursday as Indians Win Slugging Match, 8-6. BY EDDIE ASH Two big innings, the first and sixth, put the Indians over the hump in the series opener with the Toledo Mud Hens at Perry stadim Thursday night and the Killeferites finished on the long end of a slugging match, 8 to 6. Fourteen blows were collected by the home nine and thirteen by the visitors. Fred Bedore, with a triple and three singles, and Frank Sigafoos. with a double and two singles, led the Tribe attack against Ralph Winegarner. Pete Daglia was sent to the showers by the Hens in the sixth and Lefty Bob Logan went to the rescue and played the part of a gallant relief man. He walked Reis to fill the bases with one out and then turned loose all of his juice and struck out both Powers and Trosky. The Tribesmen scored four markers in the first round, three in the sixth

and one in the eighth. Toledo tallied in the first, third, fourth, sixth and eighth, and had twleve runners left stranded, further proof that it was a hard battle to store away in the home bat bag. Only five Hoosiers were left on base, a situaton that proved the Indians slapped the sphere in timely fashion. Women Free Tonight The Hens will make their last stadium appearance of the season tonight, with action starting at 8:15. j It will be another special “ladies’ j night” at the Tribe park, and women i will be admitted free to the grand- | starjd. the only charge being the federal tax of one dime. The Louisville Colonels will open I a three-game series with the Indians j Saturday night with a single tilt un- j der the lights to be followed by a double-header Sunday afternoon, i which will be “curtains” for 1933. By winning Thursday, the third- j place Indians stayed three games | ahead of St. Paul and have four | more to play. It is believed St. Paul J has only three more to go, although j the standing gives the Apostles only 150 games played. However, it is I thought the game that St. Paul is j short on the required 154-game j schedule is not with Kansas City or Milwaukee, the teams left on the j Apostle program. The Thurscay Toledo-Indian contest sparkled with sharp fielding achievements. A lot of money is in the balance during the closing days of the race and the players are extending themselves right up to the hilt. Toledo is striving to defend fifth place, pressed by Louisville, and Indianapolis is determined to cling to the third spot. There is no league bonus pay-off below fifth place, which pays SIOO per player. Fourth position pays S2OO and third S4OO. Judge Frank Sigafoos Frank Sigafoos was appointed “judge” by a group of local attorneys Thursday night just before game action started and on his first time at bat walloped a double that batted in two mates. Siggie was presented with a set of law books to peruse during the off-season, so he is sure of having a lot of home work this w’inter. Infielders and outfielders shared the fielding spotlight. Montague, Detore and Powers of the Hens turned in brilliant plays and Lee and Wingard of the Indians also knocked down some hot shots. Callaghan, playing left for the Tribe, was alert and on two occasions held potential doubles to singles. Johnny Cooney of the Indians batted in two runs with two doubles and scored twice. Extra base blows to the credit of the Hens were a triple by Powers and a double by Reis. Les Fishbaugh Tackles Bums The four bouts on tonight’s card 1 at South Meridian arena, 500 South i Meridian street, will feature two ; main events showing Cyclone Bums against Les Fishbaugh, the wrestling shoe cobbler from Newark, 0., and Harry Burrus, Anderson, against Bunny Clifford for two falls out of three with a one-hour time limit. The semi-final will show Walter Hickman against Jack Scott, and Morris Webb meets Ed Slaughter in the opener. These bouts are over the one fall, thirty-minute time limit route. First bout at 8.30 p. m., with Ed Westfall as referee.

Dope Probe Is Made at Coney Bp Time. Special CINCINNATI. Sept. 8. Five operatives of the United States narcotic enforcement department swooped down on the owners and trainers at Coney Island race track here Thursday afternoon and caught the horsemen quite unaware. Several of the trainers and stable boys of the larger stables were taken into custody as they led their horses from the track after each race and were taken to the main offices of the Cincinnati Jockey Club for questioning. As the last race was finished no arrests had been made and no charges filed, but it was thought today would bring indictments against several of the owners and trainers.

By United Press FOREST HILLS. N. Y„ Sept. B. Clifford Sutter, New Orleans, today defeated Vivian McGrath, Australia. 3-6. 6-4, 6-3, 3-6. 8-6. McGrath was leading Suiter. 3 to 1, in the final set when play was interrupted by darkness Thursday night. By United Press NEW YORK. Sept, B—The quarter final match in the men’s national tennis championship today between Bryan Grant of Atlanta and Lester Stoefen of California will prove one of two things:: 1. That Grant’s victory over Ellsworth Vines Thursday was a signal that the diminutive southerner is headed to national supremacy.

King’s Big Chance KING LEVINSKY, ex-fish ped- ' dler of Chicago, continues his campaign for a crack at the world's heavyweight championship when he battles Jack Sharkey next Friday night at White Sox park. Levinskv is a wild swinger with plenty of power in his right ha nth

If Grant conquers the giant Stoefen. the man many experts consider | the finest prospect this country has seen in years, there will be nothing j to do but admit that the little five- | foot. 120-pound chap from Georgia |is of championship caliber.

both perform Thursday. Mangin played the best tennis of his life in eliminating Jiro Satoh of Japan, and Shields looked unbeatable in trouncing Satoh s countryman, Ryosula Uunio. in straight sets. Fred Perry, Britain's No. 1 performer and Davis cup hero, should defeat Adrian Quist of Australia. Quist played magnificently in defearing Wilmer Allison Thursday, but Perry, right now on top of his j game, is no Allison. Jack Crawford's quarter-final op- | ponent is not yet known, for the j match between Vivian McGrath and i Cliff Sutter was called on account |of darkness with the Australian ' leading, 6-4, 3-6. 3-6, 3-1.
