YORK, Au*. 4.—No kidding. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I walked into Madison Square Garden today and what did I see? Rack of a big desk with a glass top I saw Mr. James J. Johnston. On the desk in a not inconspicuous frame was the word "Matchmaker.” “My goodness me,” 1 exclaimed, "what are you doing around here? Don’t you know you have l>een fired?” Mr. Johnston l a wy peculiar fellow He will not take a hint. He nas b* ‘ n fired in the headlines —well, for a number of months anyway. I have personally fired him myself three or four times. They are still paving me.” explained Mr. Johnston, “and as long as they do that I feel obligated to stick around.” a a a a a a \rOU should be toid. if it is n Mr. Johnston is the matchmaker of Math on Square Garden, the head of the boxing department. and for som*- reason he is not very popular. Ju • why the gentleman is not very popular I do not know. There lie quit! . few people who think he is all right. I happen to be one of . lust tIM not I had heard so often he had been ousted that I w i anr irpri *d to ~ee him s'ill on the job. ■ How do you do It?” I asked. Clean living and plenty of spinach.” he answered. I had heard that before It was a gag that was both clean and old enough for the radio. 11l get out of here when they ask me,” said Mr Johnston. “Until they do I'll sit around here and laugh at you guys who are trying to tire me every day." a a a a a a PERSONALLY I am through firing Mr. Johnston. He is too tough. So far as I am concerned he is no longer a news story. It is of no interest to me if he signs anew contract for ten years. It is equally less interesting to me if he moves out tomorrow. From this point on he is strictly on or nil his own. Tire re were three or four fight managers sitting around Mr. Johnston when I bar: * and into his office. They were talking about the fight which Mr. Johnston had nist closed —the fight that Is to bring Steve Hamas and Art Lasky together, a couple of heavyweights. It was with considerable restraint that Mr. Johnston was able to k*ep las trap closed while the boys were talking. It seems that it is nece .try for a matchmaker to remain neutral in such things. If he has an opinion he must keep it to himself. I think the public is well enough acquainted with Mr. Johnston to know what a terrific ordeal this means. 0 9 0 0 0 0 \ T any rate Mr. Johnston didn’t speak, which in itself sets anew P\ A A U. record for something or other. But some of the other boys spoke at great length. And the gist of their chatter was that Hamas, well known around here, was in for a very tough match. Go out and et a bet down for yourself,” said one of the boys. ‘ This Lasky will knock Hamas out. He has a great left hand, is as strong as seven horses and as game as they make ’em.” Tiie speaker, it happened, was a gentleman who up to that moment had hen a great booster for Hamas. I reminded him of that fact. ‘ True * nou h.” he admitted. But I just saw Lasky in operation and he is the next heavyweight champion of the world.” 000 000 “XT'OU aren’t overlooking Baer are you?” I asked. X I have no one in mind but Baer.” he countered. “He will beat Bai r as sure as you are a foot high. He has a fine left hand. What more do you need to beat Baer?" I was -o wrong on the Baer-Carnera fight that all I could do was sit b.i* k and mxl my head. When I nod my head I am not thinking. I like to nod my head. I am always safe when I nod my head. Well, if Lasky gets anywhere you can remember you read it here—and you ran remember that it came to light because the boys were sitting around wondering what kept Mr. Johnston on his job.
Terry Sees Giants Taking 1934, y 35 Pennant Races Says Steady Pitching Will Beat Cubs. Cards This Season: Rates Reserve Strength as League's Best. BY BILL TERRY Mjn.cfr \> York Giants NEW YORK.

The tough opposition which I thought would come from the Cardinals finally has arrived. Naturally, the St. Louis and Chicago clubs are tiie ones New York has to beat. This the Giants will do with steadier pitching. Leßoy Parmelce's splendid comeback following an operation for appendicitis was a streke of good fortune for us. Puts Hubbell at Top With the large Michigan boy throwing that slider of his faster than ever, the Big Four of 1933 Hubbell, Schumacher, Fitzsimmons and Parmelee—again is intact, and, backed up by a hard hitting and hustling club, should sweep to another world series. Carl Hubbell is of course our most valuable single asset.
Another factor in favor of the Giants, as I see it, is that we’ve got the best reserve strength in the National Leacue. Men like Frank O'Doul, Blondy Ryan, and Johnny Vergez are invaluable as we start down the stretch—and don't forget young Phil Weintraub, Adolfo Luque. Herman Bell and Joe Bowman. the husky mound recruit from the Pacific Coast League. Plenty of Relief Bowman's services came in particularly handy during the absence of Parmelee. when he proved himself a real Giant. l uque and Bell never start, but they're great relief workers, and as such save my regulars from pitching out of turn. ODoul hit so savagely when pressed into service at a time when Joe Moore’s arm required a rest, that he virtually has been a regular ; since. Ryan recently again made himself useful in replacing Travis Jackson when that brilliant shortstop injured his knee. Chicago has a corking infield and plenty of outfied hitting power. Honx? Finish Important The same can be said of the St. Louis outfit, which has the added advantage of the Dean brothers. But the Giants get their share of runs, with an attack led by Mel Ott. 347. and myself. .357. and neither of our foremost rivals has as consistently fine pitching as that turned m by Hubbell, Schumacher. Fitzsimmons and Parmalee, and their assistants. The schedule also favors the New York team. We finish at home, and have been phenomenally successful there all season. And. while I may appear optimistic. I really believe that if we prevail this year, we'll also finish m front In 1935. Why? Well, I've got young fellows coming on who are getting better by the day. Several of them ought to be ready for the majors next spring.

ill llltf UililcU OLrtLCo cliiu. ILo iAlrtllu possessions. Yesterday Mitchell celebrated his sixth week of married life by coming from behind and downing Joe Coria, slim St. Paul sharpshooter. The Hoosier represents the South Grove club at Indianapolis. Match See-Saws Mitchell’s Honolulu opponent today played erratic golf after winning the first two holes and was out in 42. to be all even with the big sun-bronzed Indianapolis player, who had 41. Mitchell fought into a two-up lead after twelve holes, but lost his margin and the match see-sawed. Armstrong birdied the eighteenth hole to tie the count. The morning cards: Par out 514 454 534—38 Par in 345 443 434—34—73 Armstrong out 535 455 54fi—42 Mitchell out C. 44 554 544—41 Armstrong in 555 533 533—3*—79 Mitchell in 454 544 434—37—78 Armstrong Takes 1 and 2 The young Hawaiian w T on the first hole today with a par 5 when Mitchell hooked his tee shot on the 507-yard stretch. The 17-year-old star won the second hole also. Armstrong sent a flashing iron shot to within a half foot from the cup and dropped it for a birdie-three. Mitchell took the third hole with a par 4 on the 388-yard stretch. Armstrong was on the green in 2, but his putter failed and he used three to hole out for a 5. Armstrong played the kind of golf on the first three holes that he flashed when he put out Albert • Scotty) Campbell of Seattle in a quarter-final match. Mitchell was wild off the tee. but gave signs of improving. The Hawaiian still held his one up lead when they reached the sixth hole, by virtue of having won the fourth with a par 4 when Mitchell shanked his iron wide of the green. The fifth was halved in par ss, and Mitchell won the sixth, sinking a 4. Armstrong required three to get home after he went into the rough. Mitchell Grabs Lead Mitchell squared the match as they rounded the turn, however, sinking a par 4 against Armstrong's six, which resulted from Armstrong's trouble with the rough and a trap. They had halved the seventh and eighth. Armstrong's game was slipping in spots and by the time they reached the twelfth, the Indianapolis district champion was two up on the young Hawaiian. Mitchell gained his first lead today on the tenth with a 4 to Armstrong's 5. After the latter went into a trap and needed three to reach the green. Both missed fivefoot putts but Mitchell's two to the carpet saved him. They halved the eleventh with fives, and Armstrong’s failure to sink a four-foot putt on the twelfth put him two down. Armstrong’s birdie three on the fourteenth and par three on the fifteenth when Mitchell was wild from the tee and required a four, put the match all square. An eighteen-foot putt sent Mitchell one up on the sixteenth hole with a four, but they halved the next, and Armstrong squared the match before going to lunch by laying a pitch and run three feet from the tin for a birdie three on the eighteenth. Mitchell missed a thirty-footer for par. Miller Unpopular Victor Over Paul By Cnitcd Press HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 4. Freddie Miller, 128, Cincinnati, recognized by the N. B. A. as featherweight boxing champion, today held an unpopular referee’s decision over Tommy Paul of Buffalo, N. Y., 128, the former titlist. It was a nontitle. ten-round bout. Paul had the champion on the verge of a knockout in the ninth round. The United Press score sheet .showed each winning four rounds, with two even. Catcalls and a shower of programs from the crowd greeted the decision in favor of Miller by Referee Abe Roth.

Indians Tackle Blues as Millers Take On Birds; Kaws Open Here Tonight
Twin Bill Is Carded for Tomorrow: Logan Fans Ten Brewers. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor By splitting the double-header yesterday, the Indians finished the series with the Milwaukee Brewers on the long end. three victories and one defeat, and regained second place and held it. The Tribe annexed the afternoon tilt, 3 to 1, behind marvelous pitching by Lefty Logan, but the Hoosier defense went to pieces in the night attraction and the visitors grabbed the laurels, 9 to 5. The Kansas City Blues will swing into action against the Redskins here tonight at 8:15 and there will be a double-header tomorrow afternoon starting at 2 o'clock. A single game Monday night will wind up the Kansas City visit. The Blues are making their last 1934 appearance in Indianapolis. Birds Move Up The Brewers moved on to Louisville today and were in fourth place. The Columbus Red Birds continued to gallop yesterday and stretched their victory string to six and climbed into third place. Minneapolis also won yesterday and the Millers were leading the runner-up Indians today by two and one-half games. The Red Birds, the 1933 American Association champions, have moved within one-half game of the Indians and are threatening to create a lot of havoc during their long home stand. The Birds make a practice of staging sensational winning marches on their home playground. The pacesetting Millers invaded Columbus today and stirring excitement is promised in the Buckeye city. This is a choice time for the Indians to do something in a big way. In the event that the series is divided at Columbus a Tribe winning streak against the Blues would prove of great benefit to local pennant hopes. Lefty in Great Form Lefty Logan struck out ten Brewers yesterday afternoon and held the Cream City team to seven hits. Milwaukee pastimers got their lone marker in the sixth frame on r.n infield hit by Marshall and Storti's double. The Redskins tallied one run in the opening stanza and two in the sixth. The Indianapolis runs were batted in by Cotelle, Washington and Bedore. Cotelle got two of the Tribe's eight blows off Forest Pressnell and Marshall collected four of the Milwaukee safeties. The Brewer shortstop had a perfect afternoon at bat. Kloza and Wingard struck out three times each. In the moonlight contest with the Brewers last night the local athletes fell apart in the field and six errors were committed. It was a bad evening for Dudley Lee at shortstop. A five-run rally in the eighth by Milwaukee put the Indians out of the game. Along with Tribe miscues the Brewers were helped by a flock of "breaks'’ and there was nothing the Tribesmen could do about it. The home boys simply had to stay out there and "take it.” Vance Page, A1 Butzberger and Hal Chamberlain toiled on the Tribe slab and Lee Stine went the route for the visitors. Butzberger was charged with the defeat. Hits were thirteen for Milwaukee and twelve for Indianapolis. About 10,000 fans watched the
