J3UTH hits home run. He knocked the ball out of the park with a crutch. You may le reading a baseball account of that description most any day now. The crippled Swat King, hopping on one h*g, left Cleveland last night and headed for Chicago, where the White Sox officials were screaming for his presence, “dead or alive.” A New York Yankee series at the White Sox park with the labe absent isn’t worth a nickel at the gate. He is the big magnet at the Chicago American League plant and his appearance there usually is the occasion for rushing business at the turnstiles. White Sox fans won’t accept any substitute; it must le liuth. It's a safe forecast that the Bambino will be out at the Sox park tomorrow grinning at the customers, either from the Yankee bench or propped up in a front row box in the grandstand with his bum leg resting on the wall. He is the stimulator for crowds in cities that have tailend ball clubs and is the same as money from Jjome at the box office. man a a a OTHER players may fill Ruth's shoes in the outfield and on the base paths, but no slugger of his power has appeared yet capable of duplicating the Babc> 5 gyiations and contortions at the plate when he connects or misses a swing. His crowd appeal is the greatest of any star in the history of baseball, and club owners around the American League readily will confess that they ha\e been lifted out of the red ink time and again by the visits of the Babe to theii parks. He has participated in all tames where attendance records have been smashed, and as he slides down hill on the way out as an active player pastimer, all club executives in the loop will take time out to think long, long thoughts of what might have been if the big fellow had not been on hand during the dark days of the depression. B B B B B a lOE BOYNTON, whom the late Tex Rickard, the prizefight promoter, drafted from John Rineling. the circus man, is in no sense a public character, although a lot of people would like to know him better, inasmuch as he raked in a good share of the money they spent for sports and amusements for nine years. Boynton has been cussed by most of them. As chief of the Madison Square Garden. New York ticket offices—old and new, from 1924 to 1933 —Boynton boasts that he took in $50,000,000. without losing a penny. The amount is Boynton's, and may not be far from correct, although, like Rickard, under whom lie spent five years. Joe became as nonchalant with figures as those who number boxcars. Boynton broke into the boxing industry at the height of the golden era. He handled some tremendous pugilistic productions, the like of which we are not likely to see again. There was the second Tunney-Dempsey meeting in Chicago, with its attendance of 104 943 and gate of 52.658.660; the first one in Philadelphia, attendance 120.757. and Intake of $1,895,733, and the Dempsoy-Sharkey battle which grossed $1,083,530. And. during Boynton's tenure, it was nothing out of the ordinary for the principals in an indoor show to be paid off on from $50,000 to SBO,OOO. a a a a a a BOYNTON is back with the big top. and became treasurer of the Ringling Bros, and Bamum Bailey shows with the recent death of the veteran Charles R. Hutchinson. Joe's noggin is poked through the window of the first big yellow wagon you run across, for no one can peddle pastboards quite as rapidly as he. What was the difference between a fight and circus crowd? The indoor fight customer can’s be compared with the circusgoer,” Boynton said recently. He is a particular fellow who carries the chart of the arena in his head. And all comparison between an outdoor fight follower and the circus patron ended with the Tunney-Dempsey engagement in Chicago Up until that time, the ringworm simply ankled up like the circus customer, and said, ‘Give me two, four, six,’ or however manv he required But that day was gone forever, after Tex Rickard got through with the boys at Soldiers’ Field, in Chicago. They all wanted nngsides at S4O a copy, and Rickard wasn’t one to disappoint the trade. 'What's keeping you from printing more?” asked Rickard, and this we did in sections of twenty rows, until the last batch were on the outskirts of Ft. Wayne. Ind.. or thereabouts. There actually were 180 tiers of ringside' seats that night, and we took in SBOO,OOO the day of the scrap. When it was time for Tunney and Dempsey to go on, Rickard was afraid to walk down to the ringside. Tex believed he would hear the boo birds sing. That show ended the ringside’ racket, but the entire works was ready to blow up. anyway."

Tray nor Believes Giants Are Destined to Repeat Pirates’ Boss Expects Own Club to Trail Cubs, Cards; Says Champs Deserve First Place. BY HAROLD TRAYNOR Manager Pittsburgh Pirates NEW YORK. July 20.—Barring unforeseen injuries and breaks, it is my opinion that the first four clubs in the National League will finish the season in the order in which they have stood for the better part of the campaign to date. In other words. I am picking the Giants to repeat, with the Cubs second, the Cardinals third, and my own Pirates, fourth.

Perhaps the manager of a fourth, place club should make a lot of claims and threats, but I'm being honest instead of optimistic. f believe tlv* New York team will win. and it deserves to retain its ; championship. Day in and day out. Bill Terry's combination is the most formidable in the circuit. Praises Carl Hubbell Superior pitching and defensive play, with timely hitting, and a wonderful spirit, make the Giants the outstanding outfit, it seems to me. Carl Hubbell alone is enough to give them an edge in hurling. The Oklahoman, to my mind, is the greatest pitcher in baseball today. The Chicago entry has a fine inheld and is exceptionally powerful at the plate, but its pitching is too spotty for the long drive, as I see it. Os course, the Bruins are not out of the race, for no array can be counted out when it's only two or thro' games back of the leader with the season little more than half gone. Both the Giants and Cubs arc touch to top on their home lot And the schedule favors the men of Manhattan, since they already have completed two or their long trips, and will spend the critical month of Septembmer at the Polo Grounds.. Anticipates Close Fnish St. Louis is a fighting club, well b. lanced and strong but Frank Frisch's pitching largely has been a two-man chore, and I don't be-

CRAWFORD DEFEATS SHIELDS IN OPENER

Australia Off to Advantage in Cup Action No. 2 Ranking Player Trims New Yorker Handily in Tennis Match. BY HENRY M’LEMORE I nited Press Staff Correspondent WIMMLEDON, England, July 21. —Jack Crawford of Australia, No. 2 in world tennis rankings, today sent his team off to a winning start in the interzone final Davis cup tie with the United States by defeating Francis Xavier Shields, towering New Yorker. 6-1, 6-2. 12-10. Shields, his game hopelessly gone in the first two sets, fought furously in the third, but finally bowed to the Australian ace. The result was along form lines as Crawford was an overwhelming favorite. The gallery, which had looked on with virtual boredom in the first set and in the second, was repeatedly brought to its feet by the brilliant exchanges of the final one. Shields Given Ovation Service was followed for the first two games after which each player broke the others. They followed service again until the fifteenth game when Crawford broke through to win and lead 8 to 7. Shields was given a glattering ovation by breaking Jack’s service in the 16th game, winning that game by copping two seemingly impossible gets. Shields’ game was gone, however, and he knew it. But he hung grimly on until the twenty-first game, when Crawford broke Franke’s service to lead, 11 to 10. Falls on Face Shields, who now had the gallery cheering for his game stand, fought madly in the twenty-second game, but Crawford scored two brilliant placements to take game, set and match. Shields presented a wan appearance after he raced to the net to congratulate Crawford. Frankie, trying for everything, had fallen flat on his face repeatedly during the final set. Crawford's game throughout, constituted a grand exhibition of tennis His placements were well night perfect.

Stable Boys Shout in Glee When Stretch Burner Lets Go

BY HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Writer HICAGO. July 21.—Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane was mighty proud of Cavalcade when that great colt added the Arlington classic stakes to his mounting chain—one that includes the Kentucky. American and Detroit derbies. But there were several “owners" who were immeasureably more vociferous concerning the matter than Mrs. Sloane. As Cavalcade swung into the back stretch ahead of no horse save his stab’emate. Good Goods, half a dozen stable boys—owners every one in a horse which is giving them reflected glory—looked momentarily sick about the gills. And then, as the Derby winner began to move up, the whole group at Arlington literally exploded in glee.

INDIANAPOLIS women golfers who have been taking part in city tournaments on the "also ran” basis with only an outside chance of ever winning a prize are going to have their day Monday. The occasion is the annual midsummer eighteen-hole gross arfl handicap tournament of the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association to be played at Broadmoor course. According to the advance pairings drawn up by Mrs. George Stewart, president, and Mrs. Ben Olsen, secretary, four of the sixteen women who qualified for the championship flight in the city championship will take part in the Monday event. The other thirteen are not giving the local association the go by. It merely is a case of two big tournaments on the same day, the pro-amateurs at Highland, Monday afternoon, having the elite of local women golfers interested. ft ft tt MISS ELIZABETH DUNN, city and state champion: Ruth White, Harriett Randall, Mrs. Ben Parks and others can play thirty-six holes of golf today, and might be willing to do so, but there is a ruling in the Indianapolis association that demands the presence of prize winners when the awards are made. When some seventy-five players finish at Broadmoor, the proamateuress will be under way. The three city tournament qualifiers who are listed in the advance pairings of sixty players at Broadmoor are Miss Virginia Owens of South Grove, Mrs. Carl Cutter, Pleasant Run; Mrs. Ben C. Stevenson, Meridian Hills, and Miss I. G. Kahn. Broadmoor. The play will get under way at 8:30 with threesomes teeing off at five-minute intervals.

“Hyah he come! Hyah he come!” they exulted. ‘Gangway ole Discovery.

Wha'd he do?” they shouted, the question, chanted it back and forth until the crowd caught it up, echoing it back to them. The official time was posted 2:02 4-5, only a second off Sun Beau’s track record, although Cavalcade got away last.

They, too, are waiting for Saratoga, and another chance at the “stretch burner.” But the Arlington classic also was supposed to be a hoodoo to favorites, with Gallant Fox the only one of them to get there first in past years. Cavalcade, with 5126,965 to his credit, probably would have had a clean sweep this year had mack Garner urged him a second sooner in the Preakness. in which he was nosed out by his running mate, High Quest.

One-Run Jinx Follows Tribe on Road Trip Indians Drop Fourth in Row in Opener at St. Paul. By Times Special ST. PAUL, July 21.—The “onerun margin” jinx pursued Red Killefer’s Indians to St. Paul and they dropped the series opener at Lexington park yesterday, the Apostles winning, 4to 3. It was the fourth straight defeat for the Tribesmen, three previous beatings at Minneapolis all being by the difference of a single marker. The Hoosiers tried hard enough, but they were checked at almost every turn and the pastimers of Bob Coleman executed four double plays. A three-run .ally in the opening round was a big help to the Saints, although they were compelled to tally one more marker to win. Vance Page opened on the Tribe mound and Lelfty Claset started for the locals. Claset was injured early in the fracas and was relieved bv Judd, who in turn was relieved by Phelps. The second of the series was carded for this afternoon and on the Sabbath a double-header will be played to end the series. Monday will be an off day for the Redskins as they leave the west for the east, playing in Toledo on Tuesday. After two hits and a walk in the eighth by Indianapolis, Babe Phelps replaced Judd. At the time one Indian run was scored, Lee was on third and Cotelle on first and one out. Rosenberg then hit into a double play. Bluege to Warner to Todt. It was St. Paul’s third double play. In the ninth, Washington, Sigafoos and Bedore were retired in order. Cotelle was robbed out of a hit in the first as he sent the ball past Todt only to have Warner go far to his right, get it, and toss it to i pitcher Claset who was covering first for the putout. Successive singles to center by Rosenthal and Warner, a double to left center by Fenner and a single to right by Todt scored three runs for St. Paul in the first. J. Sherlock started the third inning off in great style by hitting a home run on the top of the coliseum beyond the short left field fence. In the fourth an error by Claset put the Indians back in the game. Cotelle was on first and Washington hit to Claset. The St. Paul pitcher threw over Todt's head and Cotelle scored and Washington went to third. Claset's hand was injured on the play and he was removed from the game. Ralph Judd, right handed pitcher took over the mound duties. It was Judd’s first appearance since July 14 as he was nursing a sore arm. In the fifth inning Bluege completed a double play unassisted. Riddle was on second and when Dudley Lee lined to the St. Paul shortstop he stepped on second to complete the play. Rosenthal made a leaping onehanded catch of Washington's liner in the sixth. The ball was slightly misjudged by the St. Paul outfielder as he came in so a sensational catch was needed to make the putout. Some fast fielding by Fred Koster held a hit by Sigafoos in the seventh to a single. It was along the left field foul line, a hit that generally goes for a double at Lexington park.
