By Eddie Ash Pro Football Bids for Support of City m m m Terrv Rates His Hurlers Best of All

A FTKR a lapse of several years professional football comes back to ImlianajMlis ami the bow for the revival will occur at Perry stadium under the lights tonight when Joe Dienhart’s Indians will tackle the powerful Portsmouth (0.) Spartans coached by Potsy Clark. The Spartans are one of the top (light elevens of the National Professional League and sparkle with all-round class. Dienhart’s new team has put in hard practice and the members are a group of aggressive performers. The main thing is the experiment. If Indianapolis supports the pro brand of football there will be a chance for a Hoosier franchise in the major grid loop next year or in 1935. Prominent local men are identified with the venture and they plan to keep bolstering their machine if the fans turn out in sufficient numbers to make the enterprise worth while. All of the Indian players have had collegiate coaching and experience. aaa * B f A WASHINGTON scribe recently followed the New York Giants fram town to town to be all ready with the dope for the world series. The rac-s are not over in the big show, but Senators and Giants are so far out in front it looks like a cinch for both. Said Washington writer obtained an interesting interview out of Bill Terry, as follows: Man for man. the Senators are a better ball club than the Giants, but onl\ until you come to the pitching Asa matter of fact, man for man, we haven t the best team in the National League, but, again, I want to exclude the pitching. The Giants have lost pennants with better clubs than the one we have today. But I doubt very much that the Giants ever had a lefthander to match Carl Hubbell of 1933. I saw Art Nehf at his peak. I have heard about Rube Marquard. who had more speed than Hubbell But Nehf and Marquard and Ferd Schupp had more power behind them. Hans Wagner said he rated Hubbell with Christy Mathewson and the rest of the immortals of baseball. Coming from old Honus, that sort of confirmed my impressions.” g g ff lEAVE it to the old Manassa Mauler. Jack Dempsey, to keep his name i n the headlines even if he has to mingle with the wrestlers. Here a United Press report on Dempsey's activities on the west coast: According to an incident that happened at San Bernardino. Cal., Tuesday night the lethal dynamite of a one-two swing that carried Jack Dempsey to li.e top of the heap in the prise fight ring has not deserted the 38-vear-old biffer. He brought the punch out of retirement to score a quick knockout over Leslie Grimes. Australian light heavyweight wrestler. Grimes was wrestling Frankie Schroll and Dempsey was referee. The grapplers engaged in a slugging bee. Dempsey pried them apart. The Australian swung at the former heavyweight fistic champion. Dempsey ducked, sidestepped and sent his famed left to Grimes' chin A short right followed. The Australian dropped. Dempsey helped the wrestler to his corner and called the match a draw. Grimes was in no condition to continue.” a a a tt tt tt C COLUMBUS trounced Minneapolis in the opening game of the AmeriJ can Association pennant playoff series Tuesday and by a decisive score The dope reads that way. The Red Birds beat out the Millers over the 154-game route by 15'- games. That is what is termed convincing proof of a team's superiority. Home Run Hauser was unable to connect for a circuit drive Tuesday He hit sixty-nine during the regular season. Mickey Heath, batting lefthanded, touched Southpaw Jess Petty for a four-base wallop. Heath batted only .228 for the regular season. He is the Red Bird first sarker Bill Lee. who beat the Millers Tuesday, won twenty-one games and lost nine, and four of his triumphs during the regular season were at the expense of Minneapolis. The Millers do not possess the pitching to have a chance with that Red Bird brigade. ana nan THIS column picked an all-big league team endeavoring to match Babe Ruth and missed out on two positions. Now several fans want an all-American Association opjnion. Here it is: Dean and Marcum, pitchers: Delancey, c; Hauser, lb; Sigafoos, 2b; Reis, 3b. Borgmann, ss, Rothrock. If; Cooney, cf; RadclifT, rs. One of the really great hurlers of the A. A graduated to the majors in mid-season.

Fischer Is j Medalist I ~' Cincy Youth Cracks Record: Match Play Starts Today. t BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, I nitFd Press Staff Correspondent CINCINNATI, Sept. 13. Amateur golfdom’s hall of fame opened to new heroes today and the custodian of the record book blotted out four old marks as the thirty-sev-enth national amateur golf championship moved into the match play rounds at Kenwood Country Club. Leading the parade of new heroes was Johnny Fischer, 21-year-old Cincinnati collegian, who won the qualifying medal with a 72-69—141,

lowest score in amateur history. Second place w r ent to another young collegian, Pat Sawyer of Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota, who had a 72-70—142. C. Ross Somerville, defending champion, was third on 143. Last year at Five Farms, Md., Fischer, son of a Cincinnati postman who didn't

Twelve in Playoff In addition to Fischer’s record 141 three other records were made, and another equaled. Twelve players tied at 150 for eight places in the match play brackets. That is the largest number ever to tie for a playoff, the previous record being ten. It is the lowest score by two strokes ever necessary to gain the match play bracket. Fischer’s 69 tied the course record set earlier Tuesday by Jimmy Milward, 20-year-old Madison (Wis.) architect's draftsman, playing in the tournament for the first time. Sidney Noyles. Ardsley, N. Y„ former Yale star, tied the best record for nine holes of play in the amateur when he blazed out a 31, four under par, on the back nine and got inside the qualifying limit with a 78-71—149. Two Champs Oue Two former champions, Jesse Guilford, Auburndale, Mass., 1921 titleholder, with a 152, and Jess Sweetser, Mt. Vernon, N. Y., 1922 titleholder, with 151, fell by the wayside in one of the greatest upheavals of old favorites the national amateur ever has witnessed. Two rounds at 18 holes were scheduled today, narrowing the field to eight players for the 36-hole quarter-finals Thursday. The playoff preceded match play.

New Stars of Golf World Baffle Colonel Joe and Bobby Jones

BY JOE WILLIAMS Timps Special Writer Cincinnati, sept. 13.— i am sitting in the press room out at the Kenwood Country Club, where they are holding the national amateur golf championship, and the scores for the second eighteen-round qualifying test are comine in and I am saying to myself—. I am saying, well, you certainly are getting to be an old buzzard. You do not know any of these young men who are out there on the course breaking par. setting records and doing this and that. I am about to agree that such indeed is the grim truth when a round-faced, chubby person walks up to me asks. ‘ Say. who is this guy Pat Sawyer?" Now it happens that this Pat Sawyer is second low in what the boys call the quest for the medal, with 142. which is good enough on its own to tie for the ail-time record, which means that in this show he is quite a dot r-knob.

Bucs Blank Dodgers Twice to Tie Bruins

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Pittsburgh today w r as tied again with the Chicago Cubs for second place in the National League standing because of Tuesday’s twin victory over Brooklyn. The Cubs won one game from the Phillies. The Pirates and Cubs were seven and one-half games behind Bill Terry’s first-place New York Giants. These contests, the only ones played in the league Tuesday, were all won by shutouts. Heinie Meine held the Dodgers to five hits in the first Pittsburgh-Brooklyn game, W'hich the Pirates w r on, 1 to 0. In

schedule, for it was the last day for the Giants in Cincinnati and the clubs do not meet agaim this season. The cancellation may or may not have a bearing on the National League race. However, the move permitted the Giants’ pitching staff to gain more rest before meeting the Chicago Cubs, and anyway a cancellation always favors a club that is in the lead. There is no chance to lose a game if it isn’t played. In the event the Giants happened to run into an unexpected slump and won the pennant by half a game there’s no question but that Cincinnati would be charged with unfair play as a result of its action Tuesday. Weather was threatening, it’s true, but there was no rain. Newark, Buffalo Capture Openers By Times Special NEW YORK. Sept. 13.—Four clubs resumed action today in the International League title play-off, with Newark and Buffalo holding the edge as result of triumphs in opening tilts Tuesday. Newark came from behind to beat Rochester, 6 to 3. Rochester led 3 to 1 in the fifth inning, but Newark scored twice in the seventh and three times in the eighth, George Puccinelli getting a homer in the latter rally. Weaver and Murphy pitched for the Bears and Blake and I. Smith for the losers. Buffalo scored twice in the eleventh inning to beat Baltimore, 5 to 3. Gallivan was the winning hurler.

But Pat Sawyer is something of a symbol in that tournament. A symbol of changing times, and the onrush of youth. \ r ou once read that there would never be another Tv Cobb. And Babe Ruth came along. There would never be another Man 0’ War, either. And how much do you read these days about an oat-muncher called Equipoise? You can not place any great faith in scores, but the fact remains as facts have an irritating habit of doing—that Tuesday's play in the national amateur surpassed in scoring over a very long and not at all an easy course the greatest scoring that ever has been done for this event. Does that mean that we are now to have a golfer who is to go beyond Jones himself? You would be a sucker to bet against it. The history of all sports shows that when a great champion passes sooner or later another champion comes along to replace him. And you can not get away from the fact that young Fischer

Service. Coca Coia also rolled, but their opponents, the Casady Coal, were not ready, and will shoot against these scores later. Fox Restaurant took the single and three-game high for the week with counts .of 990 and 2.812. Individual honors went to Bill Sargent with a total of 643, that included a 241 finish. H. Barrett rolled 611 and M. Casserlv. 609. The Delaware League opened its plav with fifteen of the sixteen teams in action. Brehob Service could not make the grade, and will fire at the Fall Citv Lager team's scores at a later date. Coca Cola outlasted Akron Surgical and won all three games, as tne Blackhawks. International Machine. Kirchner Body. Keene Drug Movnahan Construction, and S. and S. bodv won t.wo out of three from Old Gold Cigarette. Firestone Tire. Empire Life Insurance. Schmitt Insurance.

He * ’ is just a kid around town. Because he goes to the University of Michigan, the belief has spread I that he is one of Cincinnati's first j families. This is hardly so. His father is a mail carrier. Young Fischer used to be a caddy. Fortunately. he caddied for one of the greatest golf tutors in America—Ed Brophy. “A great kid.’’ Brophy tells you. i “He’s got everything. I don't think there is a better driver in the country. And all the rest of his game is sound. But what I like best about him is his fighting temperament. Trouble doesn't bother him. Big names don't scare him. They say it is foolish to try to pick the winner. Well, maybe I'm foolish, but I’ll pick Johnny.”

Wants 300 Winners THREE HUNDRED winners, a new modern record—that's the goal of little Jack Westrope. 16-year-old jockey sensation. He tied Johnny Gilbert’s modern mark with his 212th triumph Tuesday at Rockingham, and has four more months to reach his 1933 goal.

Ross Retains Fistic Title in Great Rattle Chicago Hebrew Lad Outpoints Game Little Tony Canzoneri Before 31.000 Fans to Get Split Verdict: Struggle Most Thrilling in Years. BY JACK CUDDY’ United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Young Barney Ross proved himself another great Jewish champion by retaining his world lightweight title against Tony Canzoneri here Tuesday night. It was the most thrilling battle

staged in New York in many years. When Joe Humphries announced that Ross had won the fifteen-round decision, the cheers of 31.000 fans in the Polo Grounds swept up the field. Most newspaper men at the ringside and most of the fans thought Ross won by a decisive margin, although the two judges disagreed, and Referee Arthur Donovan cast the deciding vote. He penalized Canzoneri for low blows in three rounds. This writer gave Ross eight rounds. Canzoneri four, and scored three even. Despite this official disagreement, the sleek, darkhaired Ross proved he was not champion merely bv virtue of a "home-town” decision. He took the title fiom Canzoneri at Chicago on June 23. It was a great fight, and it's doubtful if any one of the customers, who paid $114,000 to see the battle, regretted his outlay. Net receipts were $98,000. of which Ross received about $33,000. The 23-year-old Ross won on stamina, strength and cleaner punching. Although a great counter punch-

er. Ross forced the fighting, advancing flatfooted with a shuffle reminiscent of the late Joe Gans. His darting left jab continually speared the dancing Tony and put him off balance, and his hammering right to heart or jaw did plenty of damage.

After the first two rounds, it was evident that the crowd was in for the fight of their lives. Canzoneri started missing in the seventh, and it was apparent that the pace was having less effect on champion than challenger. Canzoneri mads his best showing in the ninth session, flashing his old-time form. He had Ross groggy at the end of a savage barrage of blows to the head, but, Canzoneri, a veteran at 25, lacked the strength to finish him. Ross showed his class by coming back to fight on even terms in the tenth. Tony took the eleventh, then youth came to Barney’s aid and he out-fought Tony in the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth, with Tony winning an even break in the fifteenth by a final desperate rally. There were no knockdowns. Ross weighed 135 pounds, Canzoneri, 133 Vi. Sam Pian, Barney’s manager, said the champion would fight next in Chicago. His opponent has not been picked. Ross was virtually unmarked and said Canzoneri’s blows didn’t bother him much—“except a couple of low ones.” He pulled down his trunks to display bruises. Canzoneri, with mouth cut and swollen, left eye blackened and body red from pounding, complained in his dressing room, "I thought sure I won. Some of Canzoneri’s friends were long-faced, not because Tony failed to regain the title, but because they understood he bet $3,000 on himself.
