"| UPSETS GALORE IN HALF YEAR

AT FORM |

EW YORK, July 6.—The

legendary old gaffer with the

3 trailing arbutus whom the cartoonists depict as the * bookkeeper of world affairs—Father Time, I believe he is labeled—has finished half of his year’s work in the sports

volume.

Let's glance over his shoulder and see what he has

scribbled on the pages.

The very first entry is the Rose

~ Bowl game. The Southern Methodists were supposed to win - that one. The experts said so. But the old gentleman gave it to Stanford. Possibly it's a typographical error.

The $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap is next. Couldn’t miss said the experts. But he did. A thing

to win that one.

named Top Row took it all. True,

Discovery was down

he had some help. Wayne Wright,

the jockey, knocked one horse to his knees and two others off stride in jamming Top Row across, The stewards dismissed it as a “regrettable

incident.” The first important golf test of the year was the Masters’ tournament over the Bobby Jones course in Georgia. This ran fairly close to form. At least an established golfer, Horton Smith, won it. He ~ ‘was one of ten or so who were conceded a chance. And any time one of the possibilities in golf wins it is a triumph for form.

n ” #” HEN came the Kentucky Derby. Brevity was the public cioice. He had been ruhning in record time in Florida. Turimen called him a

really great horse. It developed they were much too high on him. The Derby went to Bold Venture. To prove it was no fluke Venture the . Bold did it again two weeks later in the Preakness. He was on his way to the undisputed 3-year-old championship when he bowed a tendon. - Golf again—the Open championship. The event had gone to a 100- . to-1 shot the year before. There was an explanation for that. The Oakmount course, with its ice sheeted greens, was unfair, too tricky, penalized skill, rewarded luck. It wouldn't happen again, not at Baltusrol where conditions were normal. Here a Sarazen, a Shute, a Runyon, a Smith, a Thomson or & Wood would win. None of these . did. The winner was Tony Manero, an outsider in the betting, but a good golfer, nevertheless. He figured immediately from the start. | He had the shots but lacked the ' ballyhoo. He was simply overlooked Hl by an undiscerning public, to the intense elation of Mr. Jack Doyle i They didn’t ' have a quarter against the Italian until he began his last eighteen on the final day.

Up to now, tennis has shown more respect for form. The defeat of the American Davis Cuppers at Germantown was no shock, not even to the Davis Cuppers themselves. There was too much class to Crawford and Quist of the Australians, and a / large part of the class was made up of experience, a most serviceable weapon when the pressure is on. On the other side of what has been called the big pond, Fred Perry repeated at Wimbledon, Playing at the peak of his game— \. as he was in this tournamenti— | the Englishman is probably the best tennis player in the world. And it seems reasonable to assume he might have won from Von Cramm, the great German stylist, even if the latter hadn't injured himself in the first set of the finals. i

Thom Named Mat Referee

U. Coach to Handle Top Tussle Here; Benefit for Collegians.

Billy Thom, nationally - known wrestling instructor at Indiana University, was named today to referee the Joe Savoldi-Gus Sonnenberg mat battle tomorrow night at Sports Arena.

Thom is recognized as the world’s junior middleweight champion. He has been selected on several occasions to referee important tussles and is rated a capable official. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter obtained Thom’s services because of the keen rivalry between “Jumper Joe” and “Dynamite Gus,” who are reported preparing to “shoot the works” in their engagement. The bout is expected to attract a large turnout of fans. Sonnenberg, former all-American gridder at Dartmouth, formerly was undisputed heavyweight mat king. He specializes in the flying tackle, Savoldi was a grid hero a few years ago at Notre Dame and features a “drop kick” attack. Gus scales 210 and the “Jumper” 218. A portion of the proceeds from the show tomorrow night is to help defray expenses of three Indiana University matmen to the Olympic games at Berlin, according to Carter. The wrestlers are Charles McDaniel, heavyweight, and Dick Voliva, light heavyweight, both of Bloomington, and Willard Dufly, lightweight, of Muncie. The three lads are to be introduced from the ringside. No price increase will be asked. Coach Thom reports that he has had “tough going” attempting to raise sufficient funds to transport the lads to the Olympics. In other bouts on the card, Irish Pat O’Shocker tackles Milo Stein-

‘born and Otto Kuss meets Dick

Lever. Kuss was a mat star two years ago at Indiana where he was ‘instructed by Thom.

Deadline Extended for Tennis Meet

Entries to Close Tomorrow at Hawthorne Court.

The entry ‘deadline for the tournament at the Hawthorne courts has been extended to 6 tomorrow evening. Pairings will be made at that time, with play scheduled to start Wednesday. Nineteen racquet performers had entered for play in the boys’ and juniors’ divisions when announcement was made that additonal entries would be accepted. William Moore, Ronnie Hancock, Norman VonBurg, Henry Hohlt, Charles Barrett, James Lentz, Paul Buchanan, Charles Borgman, George Brickley and Adrian LaFollette will compete in the junior division. The boys’ division includes Elvin Seaton, Robert Smith, Raymond VonSpreckelson, George Kennelly, Richard Niles, Nelson Johnson, Fred Maynard, John Dean, Elias C. Atkins Jr., Moore and Hancock.

Nashville Negroes Slated at Stadium

The Black Vols, touring Negro team from Nashville, Tenn, formerly known as the Elite Giants, are to appsar at Perry Stadium tomorrow night against the Kingan Reliables. The local ciub tackles the fast barnstorming performers after recent triumphs over Sterling Beer and A. B. C, two Indianapolis representatives of the IndianaOhio League. The Kingan club, managed by Reb Russell, former Pittsburgh Pirate and Chicago White Sox player, should provide formidable opposition for the visiting squad, said to be one of the best Negro teams in the country. Reliables also are pointing for a night game at T Haute July 14 in the state semi-pro elimination tournament against the Lafayette Red Sox of the IndianaOhio loop.

Huskies Win Olympic Bid; U. S. Funds at Low Mark

Washington Crew Uncorks Another Great Sprint to Outgame Rivals.

By United Press PRINCETON, N. J, July 6—A powerful university of Washington crew came from last place at the half-way mark in the Olympic tryout finals yesterday to win the United States’ title and the right to defend a 16-year record in the 2000meter boat race in Berlin next month. The Huskies stepped up a terrific pace on Lake Carnegie yesterday to pull their slim boat past the pick of the nation’s oarsmen and finish

only a second and three-fifths short of the world record.

Washington finished more than a

length ahead of the half-exhausted Pennsylvania crew in 6 minutes, 4 4-5 seconds—just short of the 6:03 1-5 made by California in winning the world’s title at Amsterdam in 1928. California, striving to represent the United States in the Olympics for the third straight time, finished third, a half-length béhind Penn. New York A. C. came in- fourth, 21% lengths behind California.

They Come From Behind

Washington's utter disdain of defeat has marked the Huskies as a crew which might accomplish anything it sets out to do. They were so far behind in the four-mile race at Poughkeepsie, veteran river men conceded them no chance to win. Yet the Huskies were a length in front at the finish. Yesterday only Bobby Moch, 119pound coxswain of the Washington crew, knew the position of his boat at the half-way mark. Coach Al Ulbrickson has a rigid rule that no man in the Washington boat can take his eyes off the back of the man’s neck in front of him. Moch’s confidence in the strapping lads at his command knows no bounds.

Huskies Accelerate Stroke

“Get it up, Don,” cocky little Moch, only senior in the Washington shell. Moch was talking to Washington's stroke oar, Donald Hume, 172 pounds | W of power and rhythm swinging a white-tipped oar. The beat went up from 351-5 to 37. And the “Husky clipper” torpedoed through the water. First California was left be-

der Moch'’s orders and New York A. C. dropped behind, The pursuit of Penn was on. Washington's beat stepped up to 39 and then 40, and shortly after they the mile mark Penn

Finances to Send Athletes to Berlin Regarded as ‘Serious Situation.’

By United Press NEW YORK, July 6—Funds to send American athletes abroad to participate in the Berlin Olympics have not reached the half-way mark in the goal of $227,000, President Avery Brundage of the American Olympic committee announced today. With the United States team scheduled to sail July 15, the fund is approximately $150,000 short, Brundage said, and the situation is “extremely serious.” He suggested to various committee chairmen that they prepare to cut down on the number of team members and ask certain contesting bodies to contribute toward their own expenses. Brundage criticized the method whereby each team chairman attempts to secure sufficient donations to: send his individual squad to the Olympics, and promised a new system of fund raising would be proposed after the August games.

Nationals in Serious Mood as Tilt Nears

By United Press BOSTON, July 6.—Vernon Kennedy, star right-hander of the Chicago White Sox, will replace Tommy Bridges of the Detroit Tigers on the American Leaguers’ pitching staff for tomorrow’s all-star game, Manager Joe McCarthy of the Americans announced today. The change was made after Acting Manager Del Baker of the Tigers wired that Bridges was ill and

unable to appear. Nature of Bridge's indisposition was not. disclosed. Kennedy has a record of nine

wins and four losses for the season |

to date.

By United Press BOSTON, July g~Unless somebody is pulling a fast one, National Leaguers have ceased to regard the major league All-Star game as an exhibition of glorified talent and tomorrow will shoot the works against the American League in the fourth annual mid-summer classic

at Bees Field. There seems to be a conviction in the senior circuit that its honor is at stake. With all reserved seats long since gobbled up, some 25,000 unreserved seats will go on sale tomorrow morning, making for a capacity

The Nationals haven't won a “dream game” since the idea was thought up to aid indigent ball players. And their entry in the 1935 World Series—the Chicago Cubs—finished second to the Detroit Tigers. All of this you may know. But repetition is necessary to show that President Ford Frick of the Nationals has a pretty sound argument when he comes out and says his boys have got to go out there and dust off those American Leaguers tomorrow, else lose caste. And Frick isn’t fooling. For that matter, neither is Charlie Grimm, who pilots the Cubs. Grimm means to win 1936 All-Star clash as manager, o the Nationals. It looks as if Mose Grove will

start against Curt Davis. But that's:

Tribe Takes Series; Kels Next.

Times Special LOUISVILLE, July 6—Wade Killefer's Indianapolis Indians were carrying on another timid flirtation with third place in the American Association standings as they pulled out for Minneapolis today. They face a trying task of holde ing on to their tiny third-place mare gin when they swing into a foure game series with Donie Bush's am= bitious Millers tomorrow. The Tribe is 1 percentage point ahead of Columbus and four games behind the second-place Saints. The outlook for the Redskins to stick in the first division appears none too bright. The Kels always are a hard nut for the Indians to crack in the Minneapolis miniature park. That the Bushmen are not faring so well even in their own enclosure is revealed, however, by their tottering possession of the fifth-place seat.

Take Three in Four

Louisville fans won't be surprised if the Tribesmen “mop up” the Mile lers. The, Hoosier hustlers swept in here Saturday and walked away with three victories out of a foure game series. Both games went to the invaders in Saturday's twin bill and the Colonels could do no better - than gain an even break in yesterday’s double attraction.

The Colonels won the first tilt yesterday after the Indians gave

‘| them a scare in the ninth inning.

Jumping on Stew Bolen for 12 hits in three and two-thirds innings, the Grimesmen were out in front 6 to 0 with four frames gone. Ken Peterson held the Tribe to three hits in the first four innings, but gave up four bingles in a row in the fourth and i in favor of Wayne LamasI Flowers Singles in Pinch

Rookie Dizzy Trout finished for the Indians and neither replacer was very effective. The Colonels were leading, 9 to 5, when the visitors, spurred by pinch-hitter Flowers’ single, grabbed three runs before young Lamaster managed to put on the brakes. Jim Turner had a big day on the Tribe mound in the afterpiece while his mates were bunching 16 hits for ten runs in the sixth inning and one in the first to win, 11 to 3. Turner yielded eight hits. Every member of the Hoosier nins collected at least one blow off DeMoisey and Bass. DeMoisey, usually a relief tosser, was given a starte ing chance by Manager Grimes and was going along in good style until the Redskins tore into him for six singles, a double, and a triple in the sixth frame. The Colonels come mitted two errors during the rally and DeMoisey issued a walk. Bates got the double, Crandali the triple, . and Berger and Seibert eacn smacked two safeties during the big inning. Ox Eckhardt, the Tribe’s big left fielder, gorged his batting average at .the expense of Colonel hurlers. Saturday he clouted a double and triple in the first game and six successive singles in the second as the Indians won by scores of 6 to 2 and 12 to 10. His six singles tied the American Association record. Eckardt now sports a bludgeon average of .386.

Bates in High Gear

Hubert Bates, recent addition te the Tribe outfield, also has been making himself plenty useful. Bates garnered: five hits in ten times up Saturday and connected on four out of nine yesterday. He has produced 12 times in 24 times at bat for the Indians, a .500 gait. Lefty Boh Logan pitched the first victory Satur-day, pushing his season record to ten wins against three dee feats. Page, Payne and Trout served on the hillock in the nights cap, with Page getting credit for the victory.
