By DAN DANIEL (Pinch-Hitting for Joe Williams)

NEW YORK, July 21.— What with Joe Louis’ being threatened with the loss of his wife in the divorce courts, and his making that unwise crack about retiring if he did not score a quick knockout over Lou Nova, the heavyweight: champion of the world has made his managers and Mike Jacobs a trifle unhappy. When a man under 30 talks about quitting work, there is a hint of plenty of money in the bank. When that same man’s status is changed from married to single, a nosey draft board might take it into its head to

drag out the dossier of Joseph Louis Barrow, Class 3A, and talking about the draft, the major leagues muifed a glorious opportunity. when they failed to put private Hank Greenberg and private Hugh Mulcahy into the All-Star game.

Qualifying was to include 18 holes of medal play today and another 18 tomorrow, with the 32 low shooters © becoming eligible for match: play in the championship flight, = The champion will [be crowned in a 36-hole final mafch on, Friday. Some idea of the totals that may be expected the qualifying rounds was given yesterday as many of the entrants ran trial laps on the course, Dwight Mitchell, a hometowner, fired a 71, whick is one under par.

FOLKS WHO ARE circulating petitions in Brooklyn protesting against playing an entire YankeeDodger World Series in the Bronx Stadium, are super-altruists apd boosters of the name and fame of Kings County. They are saloon keepers and tavern proprietors. This is much too early to be conversing about the baseball classic. Not even. the . Yahkees have any license to be taking things for granted. But if‘time brings about the first autumn series between the Bombers and the Superbas, fan pressure will be strong for keeping the whole thing in the Stadium, which has 72,000 seats, against the 32,000 in Ebbets Field.

DAN TOPPING’S THREAT to take the Brooklyn football club out of the National League if he does not get a better deal in its council chambers should not be taken seriously. Dan is sore over having been pushed out of the Sept. 3 All-Star game, in which the Giants again will tackle the heroes of Eastern campuses. As

70 on Thursday and a red-hot 63 Saturday. Mitchell won the title on these same premises in 1925, and French Lick folk think he’s ready to repeat. Martinsville’s Dale Morey, a former junior king and an L. S. U, student, produced a 70, and the same can be said for Johnny McGuire of Indianapolis. A pair of 1's was credited to Gene Pulliam Jr. of Lebanon and Bobby Resener, gnother former State Amateur * f champion,

Slugger John David, the defend- , ing champion, was to be a late starter today, and he tackled the course without practice. Of course, his 36-hole qualifying round can be regarded as that, since he is entitled to a place in the championship flight. There are plenty of other favorites in the fast field. In addition to David, the Indianapolis District has sent- Hank Kowal, 1939 champion and Indianapolis District winner three weeks ago; Charles Harter,

Rickey, whose $50,000 a year con= tract as business manager of the St. Louis organization runs.out in.

Gehringer and Forsyth, with offices in the Fisher Building in the Motor City, are manufacturers’ agents for automobile accessories.

When Bluege asked Clark Griffith what to do about the chance to get more Dinero, the president of the capital club told Ossie to turn down the offer. Hinting that during the off season Bluege would be named Harris’ successor,
