Stokol Softballers to Meet
Duke & Shaw Team At Belmont.
Schwitzer-Cummins Stokols and
Belmont Stadium to decide which team is to clash with Douglas The-
ater in the finals of the city tourna-
ment of the Softball Association of America. The Stokols had an easy climb to the semi-finals, turning in but two victories,
found it necessary to eliminate four opponents to advance. The Stokols drew a bye in the initial round and won by forfeit over Indiana Avenue All-Stars. They defeated Headquarters Co. and Real Silk, while Duke & Shaw turned back City Bottling, Brightwood Merchants, Mallory U. E. W. and Salvation Army. Adam Walsh of Schwitzer’s and Charley Gunn of Duke's, rival hurlers in tonight’s game, have turned in outstanding mound performances throughout the season. Walsh pitched a no-hit game against Real Silk Monday night to provide the
o | feature pitching performance. of the
tourney. The Douglas Theater team qualified for its competition in the final tilt through a 4-2 victory over Ermet ‘Products ' last night. Although’ limited to four hits by Jefferson ‘and Kauman, the Theater team put over a three-run rally in the third inning to cinch the con-
error and a sacrifice fly produced the tallies. | but was unable to convert them into runs. In the initial game of the girl's city tournament, played as a preliminary to the Douglas-Ermet tilt, Hoosier Athletic Club trounced Midnite Club, 25-2. The second game of the girl's event will precede tonight's Schwitzer-Duke & Shaw game. Richardson Girls will meet R. C. A. at 7:30, the boy's game being scheduled one hour later.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 16 (U. P.).—It's true what they say about Davey O’Brien so Néw York's football Giants had better be prepared for the worst.
Little Davey, most popular player in the nation last fall when he drove Texas Christian’s great éleven through an undefeated season, took charge of the Collegiate All-Star scrimmage yesterday with a oneman preview of what the Giants will be up against the night of Aug. 30. His running, kicking, passing and general alertness were outstanding on a practice field swarming with a the best college players of 1938. “That boy does everything well,” said Coach Elmer Layden of Notre Dame, who drew almost many votes in the coaches’ poll as O’Brien did among the players. “He isn't a great kieker, but he’ll be able to handle even that job for the starting backfield until we can substi-

Hans Is No Fraidy-Cat
Slaps, Sneers Don’t Work on German Wrestler.
Slaps and sneers may make some men shrink but such tactics tried on Hans Kampfer the wrestler will gain scarcely a shudder. Not even a good heil will do the trick. Dorve Roche, the 221-pound Illinois coal miner, used them all on the German grappler last night at
Sports Arena and ended the evening’s work with a kink in the neck
= |which made him look as if he was
trying to see around a far corner. After 17 minutes’ exchange of grimaces and grunts in the main bout, Dorve won the first fall with a flying tackle and body press. Kampfer came back strong in the second to win in eight minutes with a body press. Thereafter Hans evidently didn’t feel like fooling around and so he knocked off work in the third with a pile driver, leaving the ring as Dorve’s seconds massaged the back of their man’s neck. : (For the information of the man in the second row, east ringside, Hans said last night he’ll take the U. S. A. any time over his native Reich. Roche’s Nazi salute in the first fall probably didn’t mean a thing. Really no need to worry.) Billy Thom, the old Indiana /University professor, finished of the sunny side of the line with a ‘double wrist lock and body press. Billed at 178, Prof. Thom won over Jimmy Hefner of Texas, 181, in 19 minutes. The opener went to Popeye Swenson, 236, formerly of Sweden and more recently of Minnesota, by virtue of a sit-down on Frank (Powerhouse) Sexton, 239, of Akron, O. Powerhouse was displaying his surfboard techniqiie when Popeye raised up, slowly sat down on Sexton’s chest and just stayed thére. The bout took 18 minutes. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter, announced, meantime, that Daniel Boone Savage, the Kentucky mountain man, had signed to appear here next Tuesday. An opponent was not named.
tute a punting specialist. The best thing about- O’Brien is his ability to run as well as pass. That running may be a great surprise to the Giants.” : In the first hard scrimmage, the All-America combination of O’Brien and left halfback Bob MacLeod of Dartmouth went places against as tough a college line as can be found. Twice O’Brien passed to MacLeod for long gains and once the squirmming Texan broke away for 55 yards on a punt return. Charley Brock of Nebraska is the pride and joy of the line coaches. It was a great disappointment last fall when Brock, playing center in a Nebraska line that failed to meas-

French held the second-placers to five hits and goose-egged them for seven innings. He retired the side in order in four stanzas and for seven rounds the visitors were held to two blows. Don struck out four and walked two. It was his ninth victory in his last 11 starts. P The Indians made it an extra-base-hit night by collecting seven doubles and a triple. Bill Baker peeled off three doubles, Myron Mc-| Cormick two and Allen Hunt belted a triple. Baker and McCormick delivered three safeties apiece to lead the assault on three Miller chuckers;
Bands on Parade
The Forty and Eight Legionnaires sponsored the game and the fans were treated to an interesting pros gram before game time. Bands, drum corps and drill teams paraded and diamond-studded Legion pins weré presented to Managers Sheehan and Griffin, World War veterans. Legion Junior baseball graduates were honored, six on the Tribe roster and four Millers. Terre Haute also made a special gift of a traveling bag to Pitcher Bill Butland of the Minneapolis team who is a Vigo County product. The _Indians stepped on it in the third frame for three runs on four hits, including two-baggers by McCormick and Baker. They scored again in the fourth and batted Harry Smythe out of the box in the fifth. Their last marker was chalked in the seventh on Hunt's triple and Baker's third double.
Niggeling Deal Completed
Tribe President Leo Miller announced that he had completed the John Niggeling deal with Cincinnati by accepting the outright title to Outfielder Hunt and Pitcher Art Jacobs, a veteran southpaw who has been on the shelf with an injury. The Niggeling sale to the Reds called for a cash sum and two players. President Miller .also completed
