N E\V YORK, Sept. 7.—The old gentleman rubbed his chin stubble reflectively. He had just been told the McLarninRoss light had been postponed. “You mean to tell me, demanded the old gentleman, “they wouldn t light because it rained a little bit?” He was assured that this indeed was the situation. “Aw,” he snorted. “And I thought they were mad at each other!" This terrible disillusionment of the old gentleman may traced directly to sordid commercialism which is as a \ipcr in the bosom of pure sport, gnawing at the very heart of sport for sport’s sake and threatening the bulwarks of the amateur spirit. At that It does ,wm a trifle odd that two birds who have baring their fangs a f each other through the columns of the press for , •,!<<&. fatrlj o!.-' r.a to commit liriOUt and sundry forms of murder. are restrained from satisfying their sadistic delights by a Tom Thumb size shower. ft ff M 9 tt 9 S~ TILL it works out all right in one way because it enables the sports nut to get a wider view of the athletic front. F’or instance the Giants are up at the Polo grounds going through the formality of clinching another championship This is at least an important item for the histonans of the game. Out at Forest Hills a dwindling group of young men in long flannels ar.d short linens are smacking one another around for the dubious privilege of meeting Fred Perry of England in the national tennis finals. If reaching the finals to meet Perrv is a reward, as some of the critics put it, then so xs being kicked in the face by a mule. And then there is pony polo. Ah. yes. pony polo! Jeemes, my polo coat and let’s be of? for a rousing game of chukkers You don t play rhukker*’ Whar's that—you rail it checkers. Oh. 1 see. Well, pardon mv southern accent. a a a a a a PRETTY terrible i right Any wav the world series of polo starts out at Meadowbrook tomorrow The best players in the east meet the best from the west. The winning learn automatieally becomes the best ! hat America has m offer. And po.ssibiv the world. Mr Louis E Stoddard, chairman of the United States Polo Association is among those who claim that eiihpr the eastern team —made up of Phipps Guest. Mills and Post—or the western team—composed of Peri Ip v, Boeseke. Smt'h ad Roark—would defeat any tpam representing any country. A '.ear ago the east went west on what was considered a missionary trip There was a world fair in progress at Chicago. Someone conreived the idea of putting on a polo series. It might be interesting to the primitive westerners—and by the same token amusing to the eastern experts. a a a a a a mav lecall how that trip turned out. The easterners were I knocked flatter than a Pat and Mike joke. They were outplayed, outridden and out-roughd. The sucker proved to he a two-fisted Dempspv. Up to that time it was the settled opinion that pony polo wasn’t official unless it was played bv th horsey set in Long Island. True, a few earnest westerners w*ere going through the motions, but after all it w asn t pony polo. It wasn't pure polo. But whatever it was, it was so much more virile, so much more spirited than the best the east had to offer, that when the matches were over it was clear to everybody that anew and growing pow'er in the sport had rome into rommand, that individual rankings and sectional ratings would have to be sharply adjusted. And so it was that the west moved ahead of the east in polo. Whether the west is still ahead will be determined in the impending matches. Some of the bovs seem to think the w*est will still he ahead when the last rhukker is chucked.

Milwaukee won the first game in a slugfest, 15 to 9, and the Millers won the second. 8 to 0. St. Paul defeated Kansas City, 5 to 4. in ten innings. The Columbus at Louisville game was postponed by rain. Tauscher s six-hit pitching in the nightcap was too much for the Brewers. The Millers started out with four runs in the first and while Tauscher completely subdued the Brewers the Millers increased their lead. Milwaukee and the Millers were tied, 2 to 2. at the end of the first inning of the first game, but the Brew ers staged a six-run rally in the second stanza that put them over.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1934

The New Yorkers, in fact, expect to wind up matters a bit sooner, setting the date a week from Sunday, when they close against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Detroits figure their perturbations will be over after they conclude with the Yankees at Navin field Sept. 20. Asa result of yesterday’s engagement with the Chicago Cubs, Charlie Grimm’s grim grenadiers have practically eliminated themselves from the tournament. They are nine games behind, with twenty to play, if the Giants boot the rest of the series and break even with the Pirates and Cards, they will still go into their closing paces with the Reds, Braves, Pirates and Dodgers a half dozen games ahead. Tiger Road Rougher Detroit's path is a bit tougher, but Mickey Cochrane’s athletes are quite blithe about it. They expect to hold pace with the Yankees, five games ahead, until New York arrives at Navin field for the crucial series Sept,. 17-20. The Detroits figure on wiping up at that time. Yesterday's session between the Giants and Cubs went twelve heats before Memphis Bill Terry settled things with a well-placed .single which sent Joe Moore scuttling home w'lth the winner, 2-1. Roy Parmelee and Bill Lee went the route, the former giving only five hits, and striking out nine. St. Louis stayed seven games behind, beating Brooklyn again, 7-5. Doubles by Joe Medwick and Lippy Durocher, a walk and four singles gave them five in the fourth. Tex Carleton pitched the game for the Cards. Waners Lead Pirates. The Waners, Paul and Llovd. accounted for the important runs against Boston, Pittsburgh winning. 4-1. They are only three games behind in the skirmish for fourth place. * The Reds and Phillies were rained out. New York cut Detroit' lead to five and a haif games, taking a 5-3 decision from the White Sox. Boston cut Cleveland's lead to two games in the race for third place in the American League, driving Mel Harder off the hummock in the ninth after he had pitched seven scoreless innings. The Red Sox won, 6-1. Detroit and Philadelphia were rained out and will play double headers today and tomorrow.

Tiger Grid Coach Prepares For B*Game Card. By Tinies Bpecinl GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 7. Raymond E. Neai, head football coach at De Pauw university, the only grid mentor last year to send his football team through the season without being defeated, tied or scored upon, will begin his fifth year at De Pauw tomorrow when candidates for the 1934 squad report for the initial practice. Coach Neal has a chance of breaking his perfect 1933 record, as the Tigers are scheduled for eight games this season instead of seven. In the four years that Neal has been handling the Tigers he has won twentythree games, lost five and tied one. Two of Neal's proteges have been listed in football guide books for record breaking performances. Don Wheaton scored the longest run from scrimmage in 1931, dashing ninety-seven yards through the University of Cincinnati for the winning touchdown. George Lortz, center, broke a record that had stood twenty-two years when he recovered a blocked kick against Ball State last season and ran ninety yards for a touchdown. The 1934 De Pauw schedule: Sept. 29—Oakland City (homei. Oct. S—Evansville (home). Oct. 13—Ball State at Muncie Oct. 20—Hanover (home: Old Gold Day). Oct. 27—Franklin (homei Nov. 3—Georgetown Ky.

There w'ere numerous mixups -and no small amount of rough tactics dished out before one of the ring commissioners stopped the bout. Before the excitement ended, however, three “John Law's” entered the ring to explain that enough was enough, and the bout w'as pver. For thrills and action, the Hew'ittDavis semi-windup tussle last Tuesday came near stealing the show from George (Cry Baby) Zaharias and Charlie Strack, who appeared in the main go.

It is no secret that he has won the majority of his matches through rough and tumble tactics. He hails from Columbus, O.

Title Scrap Is Held Over Until Tonight Rain Delays Ross-MoLarnin Tiff: Barney Still Favorite. BY STUART CAMERON l nitpd l*rrs %rorts Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—The welterweight title fight between Barney Ross, incumbent, and Jimmy McLarin, postponed last night when rain drenched the Long Island bowl, will go on tonight if it doesn't rain again. And it was pouring hard early today. With a $200,000 gate in the offing —including $130,000 already deposited in the tills, a larger advance than accrued in their previous meeting—promoter Mike Jacobs of the Christmas fund anxiously awaited the afternoon weather forecast. If (he rain continues, the battle between the hard-jawed little Irish "killer” and the Jewish lad who took away the only crown he ever had, will go on Saturday night. If it should still be raining Saturday night, there is no telling where it will go. The Jewish holidays start Sunday night, and last until Tuesday night, which may hold up! the fight until late next week. Experts were pretty sure the delay favors McLarnin, although the betting betrayed little reaction. The battlers will not be required to weigh in again today. But if the fight should be postponed until tomorrow' night a second weigh-in will be necessary. The current official weights are 145 T for McLarnin, the challenger—a. pound less than he expected—and 140 for Ross, w'hich caused -Jie lifting of a few eyebrows. Ross was not expected to come in over 138. Odds on Ross shifted slightly from 10 to 7 to 6 to 5, and a heavy influx of McLarnin money from the west was driving them closer as ring-time approached. However, a later upturn has brought them back again and some of Ross’ backers expect to see him favored 2 to 1 w'hen the gong rings. McLarnin backers were taking 2'i to 1 against the Irishman being knocked out.
