LMER RIDDLE, Indianapolis farmhand with Charlotte

in the Piedmont League, Class B, has won 12 games and lost five. . . . He is a righthanded chucker and hopes to wind up the year pitching to Brother Johnny out at Perry Stadium. . .. The younger Riddle has good speed and a fair assortment of benders. The Phillies will be in Cincinnati Sunday for a dou-ble-header. . . . If the big league All-Star game is played in Cincy next year it will come when the Queen City celebrates its 150th anniversary. . . . Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees, has come out in favor of increasing the player limit from 23 to 25. . .. It was 25 before the depression brought economy. . . . Joe says times now justify an extension of the limit. . . . Bill Terry, Giants’ chief, also will campaign for the increase.

» » ” » » ” ANNY TAYLOR is leading the Indians in runs batted in with 69. . . . Nearest to him is Fred Berger with 60 and Oscar Eckhardt with 59. ... Taylor also leads the Tribesters in doubles with 20. ... Eckhardt is out in front in triples with seven and Taylor and Berger are tied for home run honors with seven apiece. Buck Fausett paces the club in sacrifices with 12 and George Archie in stolen bases with 14. , . . Eckhardt is tops in total hits with 140 and Vincent Sherlock is in close pursuit with 139. . . . Oscar and Vincent have played in every game this season, the total being 99, including two tie battles.

” » » = » » VER since he was traded to Kansas City for Pitcher Hi Bell during the winter of 1935, Shortstop Eddie Marshall has been bitter toward Manager Allan Sothoron of the Brewers. . . . Marshall posted a record for the American Association when he hit safely in 43 consecutive games during the "35 season and was an idol with Brewer fans. . .. But the Brewer bosses knew they were going to get Shortstop Wimpy Wilburn for the 1936 campaign, and Marshall was sacrificed to increase the mound staff a recent deal engineered by Sothoron. . . . Commenting on the transaction the Brewers pilot said, “Marshall is a great shortstop for my dough, even if he won't talk to me!”

” ” ” ® » ” OGERS HORNSBY, late of the Browns, is playing first base for the Bay Refiners semipro team in Denver. The team is engaged in tournament play and Pony Boy received a large chunk of coin to don a uniform. .. . The Rajah said he has lined up a radio job and added that he expected to obtain new employment in organized baseball next year. . . . Jim Turner, the Indianapolis graduate, defeated the Cincy Reds for the fourth time yesterday. . . . They defeatd him one. 1 to 0. . . . Jim has turned in 11 victories for the Bees against six setbacks. . . . Scouts are not looking at pitchers’ ages, but their arms, since Manager Bill McKechnie came up with Turner and Lou Fette.

” x ” = ” = 1 DDIE MORGAN, dewn from Brooklyn, tied an American Association record last night when he got six hits in as many times up in the first half of a double-header at Milwaukee. . . . He is playing first base for Louisville. More than 10,000 cash customers watched the Colonels and Brewers split the twin bill. . Columbus swamped St. Paul and Toledo bowled over the Minneapolis Millers. The Red Birds, in second place, are only one game back of the Millers. . The Mud Hens are two games behind and the Indians five. Milwaukee is crowding Indianapolis for fourth place and the Hoosiers are not hitting. _ . The Redskins usually show at their best on the road, but the current trip finds them with only one run scored in 138 innings of action at Kansas City,

By United Press LONDON, July 30.—Britain had its last view of the Davis Cup for at least a year today when the historic tennis trophy won this week by the United States team was unwrapped on the platform of the Waterloo Railway Station as the team, headed by nonplaying Capt. Walter Pate, entrained for Southampton. The team will sail for New York on the United States liner Manhattan tonight. Pate told reporters that “you can take it from me, Don Budge will never turn professional. He has had several tempting offers, but he is not interested.” Budge, No. 1 in

‘Preview’ by Farr Before Fight With Louis Urged

By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor LONG BRANCH, N. J., July 30.--It might not be a hzad idea for the | New York Boxing Commission to try out Tommy Farr before a jury of his pugilistic peers before permitting him to get in there with Joe Louis at $23 a throw at Yankee Stadium, Aug. 26. Indeed, the sock solons only would be consistent in ordering Farr to demonstrate just how well he can fight before seconding his nomina-

tion against Louis.

I can't see that Farr is any bet-

ter, or that his record is any more impressive, than that of Seaman Tom Watson, who was forced to prove that his qualifications were not too few and far between hefore he was allowed to square off with Fidel LaBarba at Madison Square Garden early in 1933. Watson was a British champion, too—at 126 pounds. A former meimber of His Majesty's Navy, he was a veteran of 200 battles on land and sea, and was fresh from repelling

going down under LaBarba's first left jab in 1926, and forced Watson to submit to what his handler, Johu Mortimer, considered a ’orrible in-

Barba and went on to stir up plenty of trouble for Kid Chocolate. Farr’s rather bad case of sunburn thus far has prevented American critics from getting much of a line on the man from the Welsh coal pits. Perhaps it was due to the fact that they see so little of the sun in England that in his first workout at the Kennel Club here he toiled without the protection of a sweatshirt in an uncovered ring. But even when the sunburn wears off, Farr will have to engage a couple of good sparring partners to show anybody anything. In his appearances to date, he has worked with Bob Scully, a light-heavy-weight, and George Daley, a light-

weight, members of his party, and with Johnny Briggs, a 160-pound Negro whom he must have found on the beach at Long Branch. Farr is getting the big opportu= nity against Louis only because Max Schmeling ran out on everybody including himself after Jim Brade dock ran out on him.
