TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1937

Better Late Than Never Enzo Fiermonte, the erstwhile prize fighter and race driver, who recently did a five-day stretch on an old speeding charge, has made a public apology for fighting. It was about time, too.

EORGE KIRKSEY writes from Dallas that the PanAmerican Olympic games were so successful that there is reason to believe they will be placed on a permanent basis, next year’s event being moved to Brazil. Leading athietes of the larger nations of South and Central America participated in the Dallas meeting and the idea is that the games should do much to support the Good Neighbor Policy by means of which this hemisphere is attempting to show the Old World how much nicer it is to get along without thinking the fellow across the border is something to be despised and hated. We don’t see how there could be any quarrel with

such an arrangement. Lately the Pan-American nations

have been doing all right in regard to exchange of mutual affection upon every occasion. Anything that can be done to encourage this situation, whether in the field of sports or elsewhere, is certainly worthy of support. International competition, however, although it has a certain appeal that purely sectional rivalry lacks, does not have too good a reputation at the moment as a creator of international amity. We seem to recall the controversy that raged a little more than a vear ago when it seemed doubtful whether this country would be represented at all in the Olympic games at Berlin. Well, we sent a team but if anybody got the idea that our relations with the Nazis were improved thereby he has been rather tight-lipped about it to date. But, happily, the situation on this side of the pond is different. The nations are friendly to begin with and it may be that the games can be built up to the point where they will outclass the world Olympics and so make it unnecessary for us to associate on the athletic field with those nations which demonstrate a distaste for the amenities.

n n HE toast of the trotting world today is Sep Palin, the famous reinsman who calls Indianapolis his home. Sep, who recently drove Greyhound to a new half-mile track record of 1:593, thinks the great trotter could have done better. “I knew we'd break that record before I went on the track,” he said. “I didn’t want to push him hard. I knew after the first quarter that Greyhound was enjoying himself, so I didn’t push him at all— just let him go as he pleased.” Palin revealed that Grevhound’s fractional times were 291, 1:0C, 1:30: and 1:59%;. He admits he did flick the whip over his horse's head just once coming down the stretch so that Greyhound did the last quarter in 29%, a 1:57 clip. Palin will figure in a race of world-wide interest early in August at Goshen when Greyhound will match strides with Musceltone, said to be owned by Mussolini. Musceltone is due at Goshen July 29. Palin now 59, holds the distinction of having trained and driven seven horses with marks of two minutes or better. These, besides Greyhound, were Winnipeg, 1:573%; Cardinal Prince, 1:58% ; Dick Reynolds, 1:59: Star Etawah, 1:59%; His Majesty, 1:59%, and Chief Abbeydale, 2:00. All but Greyhound were pacers.

Bs » OME of the big money-making clubs in the major loops are tired of going into some of the non-paying cities and playing for marbles. As a result a movement is under way to introduce at the annual big league meetings in December a proposal that the visiting clubs be guaranteed $1000 for every playing day. There is nothing new about this proposition and there is no reason to believe that it can be put over this time. There are enough clubs like the St. Louis Browns to squelch such an idea but the more prosperous magnates will fight for it none the less. A new low in something or other was reached the other day when the Washington Senators collected something like $27 for a Friday game from the Browns’ front office. This wouldn't keep the boys in shoe polish for the duration of the series. n n n WEEK from today the Columbus Red Birds will clash under the lights with the American Association's All-Star aggregation. By way of pepping up the pastime the Association announces that Al Schact, Crown Prince of Baseball will be on hand to entertain with his peculiar brand of antics before game time. : Al has come to be something of an institution in baseball and no doubt will inject a touch of humor into what otherwise might be

considered a very solemn occasion.

Farr Due in U. S. Today

at Yankee Stadium, Aug. 26. n

By JOE WILLIAMS

Times Special Writer NEW YORK. July 20.—For better or worse, Tommy Farr, the heavyweight champion of Great Britain, arrives from the other side today for a spot of mischievous roughhcuse with the American champion, Joe Louis, here ir August. Mr. Farr arrives under a faint cloud of horizontalism which has long been associated with British heavyweight champions and despite the success he has had in recent months against a string of slatternly Americans on his home grounds, his exact status as a fighter is still controversial. To have outstabbed the ancient Loughran, outstumbled the defunct Baer and flattened the mediocre Neusel—the latter being accused of taking the easy way out—is scarcely

miner from Wales as a blood-sweat-ing, fire-snorting hell cat. But then you never can tell. The run of European heavyweights is somewhat better than in the stuffy days of glass jaw Wells, collapsible Beckett and swooning Scott. It used to be that the mere mention of a foreign heavyweight was sufficient to evoke gales of decisive laughter. Then Max Schmeling came along. To be sure, Luis Firpo preceded Schmeling, was game and a stout hitter, but he was a freakish type and did not come close to the German in all-round ability. Old Uzcudun wasn’t a total loss either. And even Carnera came along to a point where he was better than a green hand. With these items in mind it may be wise to withhold final judgment on the invading champion. The best informed authority on the ring game in Europe is Tom Webster of the London Mail. Mr. Webster cables that the gentleman is the best heavyweight England has

Tribe, Birds Play Tonight Under Lights

Indians Hope to Make Amends for Gift Victory Of Yesterday.

Times Special COLUMBUS, July 20.—Manager Wade Killefer’s Indians were more than anxious today to tackle the league leading Red Birds under the lights at Red Bird Stadium tonight. They were determined that there will be no more Santa Claus acts like that of yesterday when a pass with the bases filled in the ninth gave Columbus a 6-5 victory and brought a really thrilling game to a sad anti-climax. Garland Braxton was the vietim of the unusual display of generosity. Jimmy Crandall, who had relieved Red Phillips in the first frame after the Red Birds had pushed four runs across, had performed capably for eight innings, but weakened in the final frame. John Chambers, the pitcher, started things with a lusty double. King singled and Slaughter was passed purposely, Rizzo hit to Kahle who forced Chambers at the plate. Then Braxton went in. He suc-

and two, but Siebert let a wide one go by and King ambled home with the winning marker. The Indians started in the very

| first frame as if they meant busi- | ness.

Archie singled, Sherlock doubled and Eckhardt doubled to score Archie, Sherlock scored on Taylor's looping fly to King, but the rally ended when Echkardt was caught flat-footed off first.

Indians Take Lead

The Indians went into the lead in the fifth. Kahle doubled. Crandal flied out and Archie was hit by a pitched ball. Sherlock hit to right and Siebert threw wild to second, permitting Kahle to score. Archie and Sherlock came home on Eckhardt’s single. The Red Birds evened matters in the sixth on Clark's twobagger, Chambers’ single and King's fly to Berger. That was the extent of the scoring until the ninth. The Tribe and Birds play two tomorrow, one in the afternoon and another at night and wind up the

SI JOHNSON COMES THROUGH FOR CARDS

Sole Winner Of Hill Staff On Road Trip

‘Failed With Reds Last Year, Puts Giants Full Game | Behind Cubs.

By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 20.—The one bright spot in an otherwise dismal road trip for the St. Louis Cardinals, is Silas Kenneth Johnson, a 29-year-old pitcher who couldn't make the grade with Cincinnati last year. Since the Red Birds left St. Louis nine days ago, Johnson won every game that the Cards haven't lost, Beginning the Eastern invasion without the services of Dizzy Dean who has a bruised toe, Manager Frankie Frisch was in a desperate way for starting pitchers. Johnson certainly had given ne indication that he might fill the breech. He had lost three games and had won only one. But Si was a changed pitcher. He won the first game out-of-town when he came to the relief of Weiland against Pittsburgh. Then after three days of idleness Frisch started him in the first game of a double~ header against Philadelphia. Johne son, yielding eight hits, scored a 103 triumph. Then, with the score 10-10 in the second game in as a relief pitcher in the ninth inning. The Cards batted in 8 runs in the (Continued on Page 13)

Introducing Mr. Thil |

Accompanying Mr. Farr are two | other gentlemen of interest. One is | Mons. Marcel Thil of France, the perennial middleweight champion of the Palais des Sports, and Mr. | | Jeff Dickson, the Mississippian who | has attained much prominence as | a promoter abroad. They come in | the wholesome interest of interna- | tional cauliflowers. | Mons. Thil is to make his first American appearance against Fred | Apostoli in what the ballyhoo men | have, with a fine flair for inspira- | tion, called the “carnival of cham- | pions,” a rather gaudy roundup of title holders set for September. Mons. Thil is 33 years old, bald as a new-born egg and an enthusiastic collector of old and modern coins. It is traditional that Mons. Thil cannot be beaten in the Paris ring, where he has established the unique formula of winning while sitting on his hind quarters in epic agony screaming “foul.” Appearing in New York, where no fouls of any character are recognized, Mons. Thil will enter the ring virtually unarmed. Still as an old continental relic with a mysterious background the gentleman may make an interesting exhibit.
