By Eddie Ash McLarnin Has Been Fighting Since 1924 Ross Took Up Pro Glove Sport in 1929
#■*
After two postponements, another effort will be made to stage the word’s welterweight championship fight in New York tonight between Barney Ross, crown wearer, and Jimmy McLarnin, the ex-chamjf challenger. McLarnin has been fighting since 1921 and has engaged in seventy bouts. He has scored eigr.teen kayos, won forty decisions, lost nine matches and fought three draws. He was lx>rn in Ireland and is 27. Barney Ross, a Golden Gloves amateur product, entered the pro ranks in 1929, after engaging in more than 150 amateur bouts. He has had fifty-six pro battles, with thirteen knockouts, thirty decisions, three draws and two defeats on points. He won the lightweight title from Tony Canzoneri m June. 1933, and lifted the welter crown from McLarnin early this year. He is 24. McLarnin took the welter title from Young Corbett of California in March, 1933. Neither Jimmy nor Barney ever has been knocked out. m m m u • m RICE INSTITUTE of Texas plays Purdue at Lafayette in football on Oct. 6. Texas university anil play Notre Dame at South Bend on the same day. Andy Anderson. sports editor of the Houston Press, comments as follows: “We probably will have two special trains out of Texas to the games I am sure Rice is going to give Purdue a pretty fair eame Rice mav be beaten, but you will see a colorful team, not only from the standpoint of uniforms, which will be honies, but in scintillating play as well. "Rice is one team which has a world of offensive strength. In Bill Wallace. Bill McCau>v and Harry Witt you will see three back field men who can and do go places. W’allace is about the fastest thing Ive ever seen in a Rice uniform.” a a a u u u THERE is a player in the American League whom nobody knows, except one sther plaver. and very few persons know the other player. Forgotten player No 1 is Herman Clifton, second string utility inflelder with Detroit. Forgotten player No. 2 is Heinie Schuble, first string utility lnfieldcr. The Detroit reguiar infield has been intact since opening day and the subs have not had a chance to play. Just a couple of Tiger dugout kittens. u m n b b n TWO cars in every garage is small potatoes to Mickey Cochrane, chief of the pennant-bound Tigers. He owns three, has has "two coming up." A year or so ago, when Mickey was with the Athletics, and before he had recovered from financial losses brought about by the stock market crash, he traded in his big car for a smaller job to cut down expenses. Last winter his luck changed and he was sold to Detroit and appointed manager, all of which meant more money. Mickev led the Brngals to first place and became the idol of Michigan. To date this year two Ford cars have been presented to him and plans are now being made to give him a Lincoln. And after that it will be a Canillac, according to the info handed out in Detroit. A car for e ery member of the family and a five-car garage! B B B BBS WHILE Charlie Grimm has been announced as the 1935 Chicago Cubs' pilot, retaining his post, it is reported that catcher Gabby; Hartnett has b?en wished on him as "assistant manager" with the under- j standing that Gabby is to be alert and always ready to help handle the hat Hartnett will be the next pilot of the Bruins. On mm was not given a 1935 contract, but was promised the berth on the word of P. K. Wrigley owner of the team. It is now believed that Wrigley stepped in and retained Charlie when subordinate club directors were on the point of appointing Hartnett and releasing Charlie. B B U B B B Connie Mark is easy with his ball players on club discipline, but that wasn't soft enough foi outfielder Ed Coleman, and Sd got the gate. Cleve land may give Ed a chance, if he promises to reform. B B B B B B The New York Yankees, chasing Detroit, have been predicting a Tiger slump since midseason. Well, the Tigers last a double header yesterday, and what happened. The chesty Yanks were bowled over by the tailend White Sox. More insomnia for Marse Joe McCarthy. B B B B B B Phil Wrintraub's autographed photo hung in a Broadway window when he was batting .400. The picture of smiling Phil may still be there, but not the .400 batting average. The pitchers got wise and Weintraub is out of the Giants’ lineup.

INDIANS FACE FOUR GAMES IN TWO DAYS
Tribe in Last Bargain Card of Long Race Slender Chance Hinges on Double-Headers Today and Tomorrow. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The last big week-end of the season at Perry stadium is at hand and postponements that have piled up have created two double headers in two days. The Indians will battle the Toledo Mud Hens today at 3:45 and 8:15 to close out the series with Steve O'Neill’s pastimers. The Columbus Red Birds will invade the Tribe park tomorrow and two afternoon tils will be staged, the first at 2 o'clock. The Birds are leading the eastern A. A. division a ndare four games ahead of the local Redskins. The Buckeyes will be here for five battles, ending Wednesday, after which the Tribe wil go to Louisville to pull down the curtain on the 1934 schedule, playing four games with the Colonels. Positions in Race The chances of the Hoosiers to land in the post-season prennant play-off with the Minneapolis Millers doubtless will hinge on the outcome of the four games at the stadium in two days, today and tomorrow'. In the regular eight-club race the Millers are on top, Columbus is second, Milwaukee third, Indianapolis fourth and Louisville, in fifth position, is one game back of the Redskins. Minneapolis is leading the eightclub race by five and one-half games over Columbus in the runner-up spot, and the Millers are leading the western division by seven and onehalf games over Milwaukee. The Indians and the Mud Hens were held idle by rain yesterday and last night, and the six-game series scheduled here was reduced to five games, with Toledo holding an edge of 2 to 1 on the three contests that were completed. Women Free This Evening The Tribe has only a slender chance of catching Columbus, but at ihe same time the Indians also are in danger of being overtaken by Louisville. The battle for position is filled with firew'orks and some lively action is promised in the bargain bills here this evening and tomorrow 7 . Women will be admitted free'at both games today. One admission will cover both conflicts at the “twi-light-moonlight” offering. The "Knothole Gang” also will be guests of the management.
British Star Displays Top Tennis Form By United Press FOREST HILLS. N. Y., Sept. B. With six of the eight quarter-final jobs filled, the national men’s singles tennis tournament today had simmered down to a contest between Fred Perry or England and a lot of other guys. The other guys are pretty good, but Mr. Perry, rated off what he has shown in this tournament, is much too good for any of them. The nonresident American champion, who is ranked world's No. 1 singles player, went through Ed Feibleman, New York stock broker and conqueror of George Lott, like a Caribbean hurricane. losing only five games. Allison Looks Best With the exception of Wilmer Allison, tall Texan, who is one of the neatest shot-maters in the business when he is on top of his game, none of the Americans has shown anything like Perry’s consistent class. The other quarter-finalists are Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles, Sidney Wood of New York. Frank Shields of New York, and Cliff Sutter, formerly of New Orleans, now living in New York. Two berths are unfilled. These lie between Frankie Parker of Lawrenceville, N. J., and Roderick Menzel of Czechoslovakia in the lower half, and Don Budge of Oakland. Cal., and Vernon Kirby of South Africa in the upper half. Menzel finished out his match against Greg Mangin of Newark, N. J.. yesterday, while Budge won the deciding set of an incomplete match against Bryan Grant of Atlanta, Ga.

Ellenberger won twelve and lost two, Longacre won nine and lost four, Rhodius won seven and lost seven, Willard won six and lost eight, Garfield won three and lost eleven, Warfleigh Beach won three and lost eleven, and McClure Beach failed to win a game. In picking the all-city selections, the boys were chosen by their ability to play, the number of games they have participated in, sportsmanship, their team record, and value to their team. August Hook and John Moore of the Riviera Club teamed together perfectly and outscored all opposition at forwards. At center Albert Rust of Rhodius gained every rush during the season and is easily the outstanding man on his team. Philip Reisler of Ellenberger, who is considered the outstanding water polo player in Indianapolis, is probably one of the best dribblers ever to play the game in this territory. At one guard Randall Willis of the Riviera Club, a veteran of the sport, captained, coached and led his team to the city championship. At the other guard James Motsinger at Longacre park, former Rhodius star, outplayed every opponent he faced during the season. At goal guard big Joe Klein of the Riviera Club was easily the outstanding guard in the city. He made many sensational stops and was a big factor in the success of his squad in capturing the league title.

Bill Sixty of Milwaukee was named as his alternate. George Dawson of Chicago was a late withdrawel, with A1 Andreggan, also of : Chicago, named as substitute. Plan of the tourney remained a mystery. A1 lthat the draw last j night did was to determine who; plays who in the first round. But the players were not located in the brackets and this locating will be deferred, probably until tomorrow.
