Wehrle Wins Western Title

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6 (U. P.).—

2 | wilford Wehrle of Racine, Wis., to-

day held the Western amateur title after a 1-up, 36-hole victory over Charley Kocisis of Detroit. The square-jawed champion’s only

previous golfing fame was his Wis- ATone

consin state championship and his reaching the quarterfinals of the

British amateur in 1935, but the 50foot putt which won him the match might have come from the man who invented the game. It was on the final hole, with Koosis lying 15 feet from the pin, and Wehrle more than three times that far away. Wehrle sidled up to the ball, stroked it gently, and then let out the boy in him. Hooting like a locomotive at a grade crossing, he chased the ball toward the cup. When it dropped for a birdie three and the match, he cut loose, leaped in the air and ran shouting for his pal, Ray Billows, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., whom he had defeated in the semifinals. A gallery of 2000 saw poker-faced Kocisis fight an uphill battle. By the end of the first 18 the curlyheaded Detroiter was working four holes behind Wehrle. Then in the

afternoon he came back to whittle it |! down to 3 up on the 23d, 2 up on Riddle the 27th and 1 up on the 29th. Then ¥

Wehrle dug in and they haived every hole to the 36th, when Wehrle’s cool putt snatched the title. Wehrle was around in 141, one

Double: Rounds Scheduled At Forest Hills Due to Delays Caused by Rain.

By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor FOREST HILLS, N.

One of those expected to benefit most was the Baron Gottfried von Cramm, Germany’s top netman and second favorite to capture the men’s titles He faced Kansas City in a fourth-round match today. Another of the foreign delegation who regarded the cooler weather a godsend was Senorita Anita Lizana of Chile. “I am not accustomed to such heat,” the Santiago girl said. “I am lucky to win one match.” Second-seeded among the foreign women, Anita plays Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles today.

Merritt Signed To Fight Bubp

- One of the two 10-round bouts which will feature:-a double windup

on next Thursday night's {istic menu to be staged at the open air Sports Arena, was completed today with the signing of Tommy Merritt, Union City middleweight scrapper, to tangle with Wendall Bubp, middleweight champion of Indians and protege of Jack Damp-

sey. It will be the first time the Hoosier maulers have clashed in the ring. Merritt has a large following throughout the Middle West and included in his record are victories over Pete Petrosky, King Wyatt, Ross White and Lefty Nicholson.

Schmeling Told to Shun

By HARRY GRAYSON

NEA Service Sports Editor

at the Schmeling profile that he

Detroit is a splendid field for a major pugilistic production right now and Adamick is a tremendous attraction there, so Kearns hardly

|is too optimistic in predicting that

the show would gross $350,000. Adamick’s speed and smack make him, the brightest heavyweight prospect of the day. It wouldn’t surprise a number of keen judges if the 21-year-old Slavonian knocked out Joe Louis next summer and, if he keeps going, the savagery of his attack may well make him as spectacular and as magnetic “attraction as was Jack Demnipsey. Likes Adamick’s Chances - Schmeling will have no truck with Adamick at any price if he listens to the veteran . Billy McCarney, formerly associated with Joe Jacobs in the management of the Ferocious Frankfurter, and apparently Max has listened to this advice because he has already sailed for Germany and may not return before next spring. He is booked to fight Joe Louis in June. “Adamick still is pretty green but he puts lumps on their heads,” explains McCarney. “Schmeling and Louis are slow starters, and because he is the slower of the two, Schmeling has no business in there with a young fellow like Adamick, who starts throwing dynamite with the opening whistle, “Schmeling can’t feel his way and pick up his fight as he goes along —not against Adamick. I'm afraid Max would be chilled for keeps before he could get warmed up.” McCarney gives an excellent imitation of Leon Errol in telling the harrowing story of what happened to Fanis Tzanetopoulous, When matched with Adamick. “That Greek was concrete from the chest up,” relates the professor, “but when he staggered to the cor-

ner after the first round lumps were

coming up on his head like street elevators. He was out for an hour when Adamick put a lly in his mitt.” Nobody was ironing out Johnny Erjavac when Jack Hurley sent him against Adamick last spring, but the vlow jockey knocked the Duluth heavyweight down seven times and out in the ninth round. The pair were rematched, and Hurley tossed in’ a towel when Erjavac went down for the second time in the third heat. Improved Very Quickly “What struck me was Adamick’s improvement in seven weeks,” explains Hurley, who managed Billy Petrolle. “He should stiffen everybody in sight. next year, but I doubt that he knows enough to beat Schmeling at this time.” Adamick has knocked out 37 of 43 professional opponents, 32 in a row,

enough, having climbed off the deck a time or two. He is a good- looking and well-

behaved chap with no bad habits. |

He stands 5 feet 11, weighs 168, and is still growing. He has jet black hair, a beetle brow, and his eyes sparkle like two large black diamonds. “Jimmy Adamick flew for the first time in taking in the Louis-Jim Braddock engagement in Chicago and had his initial Pullman ride in accompanying Kearns and Frank McDonald, Michigan boxing commissioner to New ' York for the Louis-Tommy Farr affair and to carry on negotiations for the Schmeling scrap. It is just 20 years ago that Kearns brought another young savage to Manhattan. You'll probably recall him. His name was Jack Dempsey.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8—Although competent critics declare that Jimmy Adamick is a year “away,” as they say of fighters and ball players, Jack Kearns would toss the Midland, Mich, farm boy into a Detroit ring with Max Schmeling in late September or)early October. As a matter of fact, Kearns is so egger for Adamick to get a whack

Football Drill Due on Friday

Acting Coach Elward Issues Call to 71 Candidates; Face Stiff Schedule.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 6.—Acting Coach Mal Elward has issued a call to 71 football candidates, in-

day, to begin preparations for the strenuous 1937 Purdue schedule. Butler University, one of the nation’s few undefeated elevens last fall, opens the season in Ross-Ade stadium Sept. 25. Another group of candidates will report to Elward later for the “B” squad which will play home and home games with Illinois and Notre Dame. Because of heavy graduation losses that have disrupted both the line and ‘backfield combinations of last season, Elward and his capable staff of assistants are confronted with a real reconstruction task in preparing for the season’s opener, placing a burden on last year’s reserves and incoming sophomores to plug the holes. Development of a brand new midsection for the forward wall, and virtually rebuilding the backfield around Cecil Isbell, brilliant triple threat star, provide the two immediate problems.

Veteran Wingmen Back

In the forward wall, the question marks will be concentrated at center and guard, for Captain Martin

liant tackles of last fall, are expect-

ed to be more or less permanent|

fixtures, while James Zachary, Don Powell, Bill Vergane, George Spehn, and Andy Botney, veteran wingmen, are available, Cecil Isbell, versatile runner, passer and kicker who figured in 15 of the 23 touchdowns the Boilermakers scored last fall and was given frequent ‘‘all-team” rating, heads the list of backfield candidates. His brother, Cody, a quarterback prospect who developed rapidly last season, and Bob .Selby, hard-running reserve right halfback, complete the list of major letter holdovers from last fall in the backfield contingent, which will be reinforced by the return of Lowell Decker, a major letterman of two years ago. Drake Will Be Missed In rebuilding a balanced backfield combination, successors must be located for John Drake, crashing right halfback whose play featured the All-Star victory over the Green Bay Packers, along with Fred Stalcup, shifty left halfback, and Wayne Gift, chunky blocking quarterback. Early condition will be a big factor in determining the eventual makeup of the Boilermaker combination, for with only two weeks in which to prepare for the Butler opener and Ohio State Joomine as a big stumbling block the following week, the squad will be forced to jump into the midst of intensive

preparation from the opening ses- |.

sion. The Boilermakers will enjoy only five days of double drill, as classes start Sept. 16, while the Buckeyes, the opening Big Ten opponent, will be on the “two-a-day” drill menu virtually up until game time.
