YORK, Aug. 4.—No kidding. I couldn't believe my eyes. I walked into Madison Square Garden today and what did I see? Back 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,” I exclaimed, “what are you doing around here? Don’t you know you have l>een fired?” ■ ;• ; • Be will not take a hint He has been fired in the headlines—well, for a number of months anyway. I have personally fired him myself three or four times. They are still paying me." explained Mr. Johnston, ‘ and as long as they do that I feel obligated to stirk around.” a a a a a a YOU hould be told, if ft . Mr. Johnston is the matchn Square Garden, the head of the boxing department, and for some reason he is not very popular. Just why the gentleman is not very popular I do not know. There are qui'e a few people who think he is all right. I happen to be one of them JuM id neard so often he had been ousted that I was a bit surprised to see him still 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 fire me every day.” 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 ccntract for ten years. It is equally less interesting to me if he moves out tomorrow. From this (joint on he is strictly on or ofl his own There were three or four fight managers sitting around Mr. Johnston when I barged into his office. They were talking about the fight which Mr. Johnston had just closed—the fight that is to bring Steve Hamas and Art Lastly together, a couple of heavyweights. It was with considerable restraint that Mr. Johnston was able to keep his trap closed while the boys were talking. It seems that it is nect .iry for a matchmaker to remain neutral in 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. a a a a a a A T any rate Mr Johnston didn't speak, which in itself sets anew + \ A A U. record for something or other. But some of the other boys spoke at great leneth. And the gist of their chatter was that Hamas, well known around here, was in for a very tough match. "Go out and get 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 oeven horses and as game as they make em.” Toe speaker, it so happened, was a gentleman who up to that moment had b> en a great booster for Hamas. I reminded him of that fact. "True enough he admitted. "But I just saw Lasky in operation and he is the next heavyweight champion of the world.” a a a a a a aren't overlooking Baer are you?" I asked. X I have no one in mind but Baer,” he countered. "He will beat Baer as sure as you are a foot high. He has a fine left hand. What more do you need to beat Baer?” I was so wrong on the Ban-Camera fight that all I could do was sit back and nod my head. When I nod my head I am not thinking. I like to nod my head lam always safe when I nod my head. Well, if Laskv gets anywhere you can remember you read it here—and you can 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, ’35 Pennant Races Says Steady Pitching Will Beat Cubs. Cards This Season: Rates Reserve Strength as League’s Best. BY BII.L TERRY Manairt Xrr York Giants NEW YORK.

The tough opposition which I thought woudl come from the Cardinals finally has arrived. Naturally, the St. Louis and Chicago clubs are the ones New York has to beat. This the Giants will do with steadier pitching Leßoy Parmelee’s splendid comeback following an operation for appendicitis was a stroke of good fortune for us. Puts Hubhcll 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 cour*? 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 League. Men like Frank O Doul, Blondv Ryan, and Johnny Vergez are invaluable as we start down the stretch—and don’t forget Adolfo Luque. Herman Bell and Joe Bowman, the husky 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. Luque and Bell never start but they're great relief workers, and as such save my regulars from pitching out of turn O’Doul hit so savagely when preyed into service at a time when Joe Moores arm required a rest, •hat he virtually has been a regular since Ryan recently again made himself useful in replacing Travis Jackson when that bfilliant 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. .346. and myself. .359. and neither of our foremost rivals has as consistently fine pitching as that turned in 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 in 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.

Armour Leads Canadian Open Into Final Day Chicago Pro Shoots Steady Golf, Ranks 5-7 Favorite. BY JAMES N. (RANDALL United Press Staff Correspondent TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 4.—Tommy Armour, Chicago, held a three-stroke lead today as the sixty-three qualifiers in the Canadian open golf tournament teed off for the final thirty-six holes. Armour’s steady play in the two eighteen-hole qualifying rounds —he turned in cards of 69 and 73 for an aggregate of 142—made him the favorite. He won the title in 1927, and again in 1931 a few months after he won the British open. The collapse of Leo Diegel, Germantown (Pa.) pro, gave Armour the lead. Diegel, who shot a record breaking 65 in the first qualifying round, cracked on the second and took an 82, twelve over par, or a total of 147 and a tie for fourth place. Two Have 145 Herman Barron, an unemployed pro from Port Chester, N. Y., and “Wild” Bill Mehlhorn of Brooklyn trailed Armour with thirty-six-hole totals of 145. Four players tied with 146s—Harry Cooper of Ellyn, 111., the 1931 Canadian open winner; Jack Littler of Ottawa, Sam Parks Jr. of Pittsburgh and Fay Coleman of Culver City, Cal. Prominent among the other United States players who qualified were Densmore Shute, Philadelphia, and Jimmy Hines. Bay Shore, N.

Mehlhorn Ranks Second Os the sixty-three who qualified twenty-seven were Americans. The Canadians were accorded only a slight chance to win the crown, as only two of their qualifiers were among the leaders —Littler and Lou Cummings of Toronto. Armour was a 5 to 7 choice in the betting. Mehlhorn ranked as second choice. The qualifiers were scheduled for eighteen holes medal play this morning and the same number this afternoon, with the last pair carded to tee off about 4 p. m.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1934
Armstrong must regain control of his driver and putter in today’s match if he has hopes of winning the Standish trophy, symbolic of public links supremacy in the United States and its island possessions. Yesterday Mitchell celebrated his sixth week of married life by coming from behind and downing Joe Coria, curly-haired slim lad from St. Paul. Overcomes Early Lead Mitchell overcame a two-up lead in the final eighteen holes to defeat Coria yesterday over a rain-soaked course, and before reaching the twenty-seven-hole mark, had a oneup advantage himself. Doggedly Mitchell fought to hold the slim margin and matched shot for shot with the Minnesota golfer to halve every one of the next eight holes. Then on the last hole Dave played safely and won, while Coria gambled and lost not only the hole, but the match.

THE pros and leading amateurs of the state have thrown their golf games in high gear and are speeding forward these days with preparations for the annual state open championship to be played next week at Evansville. The 1934 championship, which will be settled on the Helfrich municipal links next Thursday and Friday (providing there are not ties for first place at the end of the scheduled 72-hole test) should bring out some of the best golf ever played in a state open title event. If there be any funny ideas in the minds of the boys who feel they might dethrone the present open chamipon, Guy Paulsen of Fort Wayne, let those ideas- not become too rank. u a a From the pen of D. Armond Gemmer of the Ft. Wayne News-Senti-nel comes the word that if Paulsen keeps up his present pace, the galleries at Evansville are certain to give the Ft. Wayne “red top” even
a bigger play in attention than an ordinary defending champion would get. The reason is that scores in the 60’s have been rolling off Paulsen’s clubs with amazing regularity as he gets in shape for the defense of his crown. Guy had an individual 66 Wednesday. He teamed with

Johnny Sonnenberg in a best-ball match against a well-known amateur star, Tony Bruggeman, Ft. Wayne city champ, and Tom Franey. Guy and Sonnenberg scored a best ball of 63. The two gave the other pair a two-up advantage on each nine and finished the match all square. a a o The Helfrich course where the championship is to be held is a par 73 test. Yardage on the first nine is 3.141. Par is 37. While the back nine is 3.102 yards, par 36. The course has four par 5 holes, of 498, 472, 497 and 540 yards. There is one par 3 hole on the first nine, 105 yards. The other two par 3 holes, on the back nine, are 178 and 153 yards, respectively. The card for the championship course follows; Hole Yards Par Hole Yards Par 1 878 4 10 178 3 8 383 4 11 497 5 3 313 4 13 391 4 4 308 4 13 540 5 5 105 3 14 133 3 6 388 4 13 289 4 7 498 5 16 407 4 8 303 4 17 333 4 9 473 5 18 323 4 Out 3,141 37 IN 3.103 36 Total par. 73, Total yardage, 6,243. aaa UNDOUBTEDLY the majority of opposition for champ Paulsen will come from. Indianapolis pros. Working diligently on his game, George (Dick) Stark, former pro at Coffin and Willowbrook courses, now unattached, has been able to fire scores under 70 every day for the past week. Counts of 68 and 69 have been his favorite dish. Furthermore, George has been hitting ’em as they lie and using the back tees at Coffin to get the longest yardage test possible. All of which means that young Mr. Stark is going to be tough in Evansville, aaa Bill Wilkinson, assistant pro at Coffin has been playing well for the

past couple of weeks and is ready for the big show. Chuck Garringer and Henry Simons Thursday bowed in defeat once more before Wilkinson and Jack Tuitte, this time over Speedway course. The wind that swept the race track course was almost a gale and the scores were not as hot as this foursome has been turning in during their season feud. Wilkinson and Tuitte gained a 3-up lead on the outgoing nine, while Garringer and Simons gained, a one-up verdit on the back nine. The next match is carded for Highland early next week. a a a MAX BUELL, tournament manager for the Indiana Professional Golfers Association, called off the regular Monday afternoon pro-amateur tournament for next week in favor of the pro-amateur that annually precedes the state open play. It will be held at Evansville over the championship course on Wednesday afternoon. The title play will consist of thirty-six hoies Thursday and the same number Friday. The next pro-amateur in the section will be played at Hillcrest on Monday, Aug. 13. It will be a draw partner event. aaa OUITE a few Indianapolis amateur stars are planning to shoot at the galaxy of beautiful and valuable prizes the open will offer to the Simon pure. Bill Slyker, president of the Helfrich Club and his associates, who are doing the home grounds promoting, have a purse of S6OO for the pros to shoot at, but have not forgotten about the amateurs. Sets of matched irons, golf balls by the dozen lots and single clubs totaling nearly S4OO in value are to be given the amateurs in the event. This should insure a heavy entry. Since few amateur players from down-state have been taking part in state amateur championships the tournament will afford many of them a taste of title play and may gain some representation from that town in future events. aaa THE annual all-day golf tournament of the Indianapolis Athletic Club will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 15, at Highland course. Final arrangements will be made by the committee in charge Monday at the club. Preliminary plans call for the starter to be on the job at 8 a. m. to permit foursomes to play at any time during the day. aaa E. L. Lennox has been named chairman of the prize committee for the Indianapolis Athletic Club's tournament. Final plans for the tourney and the banquet, which will follow in the evening at the I. A. C., will be made at a meeting of the I. A. C. golf committee Monday noon. Entries for the tournament are being received at the club.

By United Press NEW YORK Aug. 4.—Declaring he is here for “a great race”—win or lose—T. O. M. Sopwith, successor to Sir Thomas Lipton in Britain’s eighty-three-year-old quest of the America’s cup, the world’s most valued yachting trophy, today awaited his challenger, Endeavour. The tall, gray-haired man who arrived here yesterday has been an active sportsman for years, and is convinced his yacht “has a chance.” He refused to specify how big he thought the chance. He believes Endeavour, which is due in New York next week-end, has a better chance than any predecessor to lift the prize yachting silverware, due to advance knowledge of yachting conditions which has been obtained through experiments in airplane manufacturing, Sopwith’s trade. Endeavour will be sent to Newport’s shipyards that turned out the American contender, Rainbow, for conditioning after her long trip across the Atlantic, Sopwith said.
