OI’ Father Time Keeps Sports Champions on the Run
By HENRY
United Press Staff Correspondent
M’LEMORE
NEW YORK, June 22.—The harids on the clock move fast in aril In no other endeavour does Father Time hustle along so quickly, mowing | down the champions almost before the cheers stop ringing in their ears. Those of us who saw the Joe Louis-Arturo Godoy fight at Yankee Stadium were vividly reminded of how brief is the strut of an athletic
hero in the spotlight of fame. ‘To enliven the 10-minute wait between the last preliminary and the main bout, the announcer asked all of the former heavyweight champions in the crowd to step into the ring for a bow. The request was intended as a gracious gesture to the titleholders of earlier years and a treat for the spectators. It proved an embarrassment to the old boys and a hore to the crowd. Sharkey Is First The first to step under the lights was Jack Sharkey, the Boston gob, who, to those of us who write of fights, seemed only tofhave stepped into the shadows of retirement a few days ago. But the crowd scarcely knew him as, unsure and paunchy, he clasped his hands above his head in the age-old salute of the fighting man. Jim Braddock followed Sharkey into the ring. He was given a greeting so lukewarm that it seemed to clothe him in the raiment of an old man, and put a halt in his step. Then Dempsey came in. Usually the Ol’ Manassa Mauler’s entrance into a New York ring is heralded by an announcement packed with such ‘words as immortal, idol, hero, and champion. But because of Jack’s feud with Mike Jacobs, the announcer, who is paid by Mike - Jacobs, introduced him_simply as “another former titleholder.”
_ Just Another Ghost He was just another ghost of the past to the crowd. The man whose name was once enough to set any crowd electric with excitement, got only polite and sedate applause. ~ Looking at Jack as he stood there under the harsh | lights, which brought out every line in his face, every middle-age bulge in the once wolf-lean body, one almost wished he had acknowledged the introduction from the shadows of his ringside seat. Sharkey — Dempsey — Braddock. They stood uncomfortably in the ring. Then Max Baer came through the ropes. The passing of time really struck you in the face with his appearance. There was a time —and it couldn't have been more than a week or two ago—that Max, big, laughing, strong, unmarked Max, came. out of the West to look on all the world with laughing eyes. Yet, there he stood. Tired. Awfully old for one so young. No bounce. No sparkle. His face a retreat for shadows and lines. And by his very efforts to be light and buoyant, revealing what the years and fists had done to him. For just a moment this writer was too old and tired to write. Badminton Match An exhibition badminton match between members of the local Y. M. C. A. team and a St. Louis club will be staged at 4 p. m. tomorrow - at Little America, 63d St. and Keystone Ave. The public is invited.
It’s Stanford Vs. U.S. C
‘By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 22.— Big Al Blozis had his day with one magnificent pitch of the 16-pound shot and today the National Collegiate Track and Field Meet settled down once more into a tight team battle between Southern California and Stanford's small but mighty squad. Stanford placed eight men in today’s final events, to seven Southern California and never hgve had a better opportunity to shatter the five-year dominance of ser bitter rivals on the West Coast. Blozis, 245-pound, six foot fiveinch sophomore from Georgtown University, who set three world shot put records in a single night during the indoor season, opened the meet with a new Anderican and National Collegiate shot record of 56 feet 32-inch. | The event was moved into = nesota’s field house because of
and N. C. A. A. officials went Hig a long huddle before deciding
‘many records that one big t ao
actually had broken. Al was competing in an outdoor meet, under a roof, with outdoor equipment. They finally unravelled that | one and called it a new N. C. A. A and American record—but not a world indoor record although it betters his own world indoor mark f 55 feet one-inch. To the credit of Stanford in yesterday’s trials was the apparent top form of sprinter Clyde Jeffrey, de-
and 220-yard dash. Paul Moore, Stanford's [other chief threat, also came through handily in his heat of the half-mile with the day’s best heat time of 1:54.6. The other heats were won by Wisconsin's Ed Buxton] and Campbell Kane of Indiana. Trailing the leaders in number of qualifiers were Wisconsin, Texas and Pittsburgh with four each, California and Indiana with three, 16 others with two and 12 with one.

Tribe a Game
Out of Cellar
| Times Speciab
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 22. — The Indianapolis Indians, whose descent this month has carried them to within one game of the American
3 Association basement, put the local
weatherman on their blacklist today as they prepared to meet the Brewers again. The Indians were doing all right
.|with the Brewers last night in their
attempt to break an 11-game losing
00| streak until the rains came too soon.
A sixth-inning Tribe rally that already had produced four runs was
:|washed right out of the books; the
Brewers were given a 5-1 victory and the Hoosiers had lost their 12th straight. Previously the Tribe had had lots of trouble solving Bob Kline, the Brewer chucker, rapping out. only three infield hits. Then came the sixth. Milt Galatzer beat out a bunt. Benny Zientara walloped a fourbagger to score two runs, and Newman doubled to set Don Lang, who had singled, on third. Lang scampered home on Dick West’s infield out, and Mack poked a base hit to plate Newman, Legrant Scott also singled, and then it happened. Umpire McCutcheson called time while it sprinkled, and the game was never resumed,
The Tribe sent Red Barrett out as the starting pitcher, .but he bowed out during a Brewer uprising in the second. Actually it was Peck’s triple scoring two runs that sent Mr. Barrett to the showers. Milwaukee also had scored two runs in the first frame as the result of ‘a pair of walks, a single and two doubles. Lloyd Johnson was doing the Tribe chucking when the game was stopped. The Hoosiers scored their first run in the first without hoisting a ball out of the infield. Zientara stole second after getting a‘scratch single and went to third on Lang’s hit of the same variety: A force out scored the Indianapolis second baseman.

Kansas City Wins, So Do Millers
By UNITED PRESS The Kansas City Blues blanked Louisville, 11 to 0 last night, but it added nothing to their American Association lead because second place Minneapolis snapped out of a losing streak and edged out Toledo, 6 to 5, in 10 innings. The difference between top place and second is two games. Don Hendrickson turned in an eight-hit performance as the Blues walloped the pitching cf Tex Hughson, Monte Weaver and William Lewis, in succession, for 18 hits. Phil Rizzuto, the Blues’ shortstop, got five hits—among them a homer, a triple and a double. Mickey Haefner was personally responsible for Minneapolis’ victory, which ended a streak of three losses at the hands of the Columbus Red Birds. Haefner succeeded on Hogsett in the 10th, fanned ‘the three men that faced him and then, with two Millers out, hit a double that scored Phil Weintraub. Bill Swift pitched a one-hit game as the St. Paul Saints shut out Columbus, 1 to 0.

Life No Bed of Roses Now for
Reds, Red Sox
And Cleveland Keeps On Rolling Along.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 22.—Leading the league has its drawbacks. See what it did to the Reds and the Red Sox. Those two clubs put on their high hats to strut before the paying customers and now they're trying to patch themselves together to keep from winding up in the breadline, Cincinnati, with its big ace Paul Derringer. on the mound, took a 4-3 licking at the Polo Grounds yesterday from the It was the Reds’ third straight defeat and plunked them into third place as Bill Terry’s club moved into the runner-up spot, one game behind the pace-making Dodgers. : | Giants Licked? Hardly
Derringer had the Giants beaten,
With two out, the Giants tied the score on singles by Young and Danning, Ott’s double and Jurges’ single. Frank McCormick dropped Werber's throw on Bob Seeds’ roller which started the Giants’ winning run in the eighth. Young sacrificed but Derringer fanned Danning. Again with two out, Jurges came through with a smashing hit, driving Seeds
After starting their Western junket with four straight over the White Sox, the Red Sox have wound up in a hall of mirrors. . . . They don’t know just evhere they're going or what it’s all about. Cleveland's team of mutiny slapped down the Red Sox, 7-4, and increased the Indians’ American League lead to two games, It was the Red Sox’ fifth straight defeat and the Tribe's sixth straight triumph. Milnar scored his 10th victory. Ted Williams’ homer with two on gave the Red Sox a 3-0 lead but Cleveland tied it up quickly. Then in the eighth, Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 17 only to have Beau Bell slam one out of the park with two on to put the clincher on the game,
Yankees Finally Score
The Yanks came out of their fivegame losing streak by blasting the Tigers, 12-7. The world champs had not scored for 20 consecutive innings
and they went ‘to work on rookie John" Gorsica in the first. They drove him to cover in the third and amassed 17 hits for the day, including homers by Crosetti and Keller.
- Buck Ross pitched a four-hitter to give the Athletics a 12-1 victory over the White Sox, cooling off Jimmy Dykes’ club fresh from three straight over the Yankees. Bob Johnson slammed two homers and Sam Chapman got one for the A’s. Sid Hudson, 23-year-old rookie up from Class D, came within one hit of baseball’s hall of fame as he pitched the Washington Senators to a 1-0 decision over the St. Louis Browns last night before 12,804, He had a no-hitter until the ninth, when Rip Radcliff, first man up,
passed ball. The next thiee men went out in order. Hudson fanned three and walked four. The win, his third, snapped Washington's seven-game losing spell and broke a six-game Brownie winning streak.
Klein Does His Part
The Dodgers maintained their ‘pace-setting role in the National League with a 10-8 triumph over the Pirates. Freddy Fitzsimmons, with some ninth-inning relief aid, staggered through to his 198th major league victory. Scoring four runs in the third off Bill Lee, the Phillies hung up their third straight victory by taking a 6-5 decision from the Cubs.
