Vance Page Mound Choice To Annex Second Game At Milwaukee.
Times Special MILWAUKEE, June 18—The Indianapolis Indians and the Milwaukee Brewers were scheduled to battle here this afternoon in the second game of the series, Vance Page, ace hurles of the Tribe mound staff, was Ray Schalk’s choice to add another victory to the league leaders’ string following their 3-0 triumph over the Brewers last night. Whitlow Wyatt, who has been extremely effective for the Brewers this year, was schedued to do the chucking for the Milwaukee club. John Niggeling turned in a masterful perfomance on the mound to bring victory to the Redskins in last night's opener. He yielded only two hits and was in danger in only one inning. Only one Brewer got to third base and only three reached second. He struck out five. Glenn Chapman and Andy Pilney paced the Indians’ attack with two blows each.

Cincinnati Wins Two More And Closes In on Cubs And Giants.
NEW YORK, June 18 (U, P).— Bill Terry and Charlie Grimm to- | day took full and official cognizance of the “red menace” in the National League. No longer can the race be considered a ‘‘two-horse” affair between the Giants and Cubs. The Reds definitely have established their right to recognition. By taking a double-header from Brooklyn yesterday, Cincinnati scored its fourth straight victory and moved within half a game of the second-place Cubs and only 3'a games behind the league-leading Giants. With Big Jim Weaver pitching a four-hitter the Reds won the first game, 4-3, in 11 innings and then slugged their way to a |
12-10 triumph in the nightcap. | Wally Berger, recent acquisition from the Giants in the Alex Kampouris deal, led Cincinnati's attack in both games, getting a double and
and collecting a homer, double and single to drive in four runs in the second. Ival Goodman hit homer No. 15 in the 11th to win the opener after Ernie Lombardi's homer had tied the score in the ninth.
Giants Add to Lead
The Giants gained a game and a half on the Cubs when they beat the Cardinals, 10-3. Clydell Castleman registered his second victory, allowing seven hits. Hank Leiber and Joe Moore each made four hits. Lieber hit a homer with the bases loaded, and drove in five runs. Mel | Ott and Joe Moore also homered. | The Cubs’ drive hit a disastrous when the Bees took them | twice, 1-0 and 3-2. Jim Turner out- | with each permitting five hits. Ray Mueller's homer won the game. John Lanning, aided in the ninth by Ira Hutchinson, beat the Cubs in the] nightcap. Herman's error and hits by Cooney, Garms, English and | Cuccinello gave the Bees their three runs in the first inning. A wild pitch by Al Hollingsworth, recently acquired from the Reds, enabled Pittsburgh to nose out the Phillies, 4-3, in 10 innings. Mace Brown won his ninth game in a reref role. The Pirates scored their winning run on Handley's walk. a sacrifice, an infield out and Hollingsworth's wild pitch. Cleveland Gains
Cleveland increased its American League lead over the idle Yankees to a full game by defeating the Athletics, 8-1, behind Johnny Allen's five-hit pitching. It was Allen's eighth victory. Cleveland collected 12 hits off Ross and Edgar Smith. Jack Wilson pitched the Red Sox to a 5-1 victory over the White Sox for his seventh triumph and enabled his team to move within one game of the Yanks. Washington and Detroit divided a double-header, the first going to the Senators, 12-10, and the second to the Tigers, 4-3, Al Simmons hit two home runs for Washington; Case, West and Lewis each hit one. Chet Laabs hit a pair for Detroit. Ferrell won and Auker lost in the opener; Lawson won and Leonard lost in the nightcap.

(First of a Series)
NEW YORK, June 17 (U. P).— They nevey come back. Down through the years, from the | night of May 11, 1900, when Jim | Corbett tried the first great “come- { back,” heavyweight champions— | with high hopes and stout hearts as their major weapons—have tried to regain boxing's most prized crown. All of them failed—some long before they even got a chance to fight again for the crown; others when victory seemed only seconds away. Gentleman Jim Corbett, the San Francisco bank clerk and first of the Fancy Dan boxers, twice tried to win back the title and was defeated. Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, the “big boilermaker;” and Jack Dempsey, the ring's great “killer"—all first had to be convinced in a prize-ring before they'd accept as truth the tradition that “they never come back.”
Others Also Tried
There were others too—Jack Sharkev, Jess Willard, Primo Carnera and Jack Johnson—who tried to march again up the long, hard road to the title. But they were convinced it was a futile job long before they reached the final step. And now Max Schmeling, 32 years old, is certain—like the others were—that he is the man to shatter the tradition. Schmeling, unlike any of his predecessors, will step into the ring against a man he has beaten before. None of the others enjoyed such an advantage. And if Max defeats Joe Louis next Wednesday his name will rank high on the honor roll, perhaps even above those of Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Jeffries and Dempsev. Corbett made the first comeback attempt on the night of May 11, 1900, at the old Seaside Athletic Club in Coney Island against Jim Jeffries who had won the title from Bob Fitzsimmons. Corbett had lost the championship to Fitz on March 17, 1897. The first Corbett-Jeffries was scheduled for 25 rounds. Fov 22 rounds Corbet outboxed the heavier Jeffries. It was a fight between a bear and a panther. In the 23d round it looked as if Cor-

bett would get the decision. But,

Radio Station WIRE, according tc the team's management. Townsend is expected to appear in tomorrow night's game at the Sofiball Stadium, when the radio team plays Newcastle Merchants in a Bush-Feezle State League game. Elated over their heavy hitting of last Wednesday night which enabled them to come from behind wo defeat Anderson, and the addition of Townsend, the radio boys are confident of turning in a victory over the Newcastle team. Newcastle broke even in its two games with Cook's Goldblume, the city’s second member of the State loop, and with Hugh Kennedy on the mound, hopes to halt the WIRE sluggers. Jim Stewart is expected to do the pitching for the locals with George Zimmerman as catcher. John Linder is to be behind the plate for the visitors.

‘They Never Come Back,’ Prize Ring History Shows
with victory in his grasp, Corbett ran into a wild left hook which landed on his chin and put him out, On July 25, 1902, in San Francisco, Fitzsimmons tried a comeback against Jeffries, The bout was held in a circus tent before a crowd of 10,000 and Fitzsimmons led for seven rounds and he looked like the winner. But again Jeffries rallied, brought home a left to the liver in the eighth round and ended the second of the ring's great comebacks. Corbett, who had retired, began to dream about winning back the title. He went back into training and was rematched with Jeffries for Aug. 14, 1903, in San Franciso. Gentleman Jim still had enough of his old-time speed left to travel at a high rate for five rounds. Then he tired and after being knocked down twice in the tenth round his seconds threw in the sponge. On July 4, 1910, Jeffries, who had retired in 1905, came back in answer to a plea for a “white hope” who could take the Johnson. It was a one-sided bout with Johnson knocking out Jeffries, who was then 35, in a 15rounder under a broiling sun at Reno, Nev. There were no more comebacks after that until Sept. 22, 1927, when Dempsey fought Tunney in their famed “battle of the long count.” Dempsey floored Tunney in the sev enth for the count of nine—a second short of regaining the title. But Tunney got up from the floor and made a human punching-bag of Jack in the last three rounds. Dempsey was offered a third fight with Tunney. But he was con-vinced—-they never come back.
