Big Tribe Home Again

‘CinderellaMan’ Cochrane Beat Double Trouble for Tribe

Zivie for Biggest Upset Since

Braddock Thumped Maxie Baer

Fighting Like the Great Mickey Walker, Red Won Out in a Bout Where Everything Was Allowed

By LUTHER EVANS

United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI. Fla, July 30.—Paul Chotteau is training for his third attempt to swim from Bimimi to the Florida coast, a feat that requires exposing his 235 pounds to sharks for at least 30 hours, Chotteau's sponsor, Edwin C. Hersh, a New York insurance broker with nothing better to do with his money, says the swim is an obsession with the fat, 43-year-old Frenchman. Challenging ugly hammerheads and 60 miles of surging Gulf Stream tides is an unusual hobby and, in Chotteau's case, a tough way in which to try to make a few honest dollars. Chotteau, a concert violinist by profession, discarded his fiddle for a specific reason. He tells you frankly that he could use some money. Recognized by the A. A. U. as the world champion open water distance swimmer, the robust paddler hopes to cash in, if suecessful, through personal appear- WN ances and endorsements. Twice y i last year Chotteau failed. ” This time Chotteau plans to

He is fed liquid food. containing dextrose, glusoce and maltose, at two-hour intervals. Last year on his second swim Chotteau lost 30 pounds and was confined to a hospital for two days. He takes cod liver oil in large quantities to restore his strength. “Sharks are just like kids,” he says. “They followed me most of the way last time, but were more curious than anything else.

Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind.. July 30.—Some of the best drivers in the Middle West, including several champions and former champions and two who have won here earlier this season, are among the 25 entered in the dirt track auto racing program on the local half-mile oval next Sunday afternoon. Officials of the Mid West Racing Association, sponsoring organization, report that it is the fastest field of cars to compete in this territory and because of the caliber of drivers and a recently improved track which assures more speed, there is a strong possibility that a new record will be established. - Carl Scarborough, a speedster from Pontiac, Mich., who has been competing in A.

Swimmers Arrive

LOS ANGELES, July 30 (U. P). —Twelve Hawaiian swimming stars

arrived today from Honolulu for a

one-day practice session before leaving for the National A. A. U. Aquatic Championships at St.

i that was in the days when Dempsey i|was knocking em into the petunias

with what lots of people think was the most devastating two-handed attack in the history of boxing. What Meehan was to Dempsey, Abrams is to Soose. At the start of both of their previous fights Soose took the most direct possible means of proving he was the better man. On both occasions he walked out in the first round and knocked Abrams down But jinxes don't stay down like mortal men, so Abrams got up and proceeded to worry and harass Soose until he got the decision. Soose, a clean-cut looking youngster who got some book larnin’ at Penn State, is none too popular with the fight mob. He occasionally utters a three-syllable word—and most puzzling of all to the fight mob —he disdains phony alibis. Soose says himself that he has to prove that he is champion and the only way he can satisfy his own mind on that score is to come through with a (humping victory over Abrams tonight. After that Billy wants to give Ken Overlin, from whom he won the title, a return bout. There was considerable dissatisfaction with the decision that Soose won over Overlin, and Billy feels it keenly. If he gets past Abrams tonight and then beats Overlin decisively, you are likely to hear lots about Soose. He has bull shoulders, thin legs and still is growing. He is certain to grow into a light-heavy-weight and may take on enough poundage to become a heavyweight. But before that happens there is work to do tonight, and that's why it's likely to be an interesting evening even if the bout is scheduled for nnly 10 rounds and Soose's title is not at stake.

Cooke Favored In Fifth Tourney

EAST HAMPTON, N. Y., July 30 (U. P).—Quarter-final play in the 16th annual Maidstone Club Invitation Tennis Tournament began today and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke of New York still ranked as favorite to win her fifth straight tournament. Mrs. Cooke, seeded at the top of the tournament listings, trounced Judy Atterbury of New York in straight sets yesterday, 6-0, 6-1, but third-seeded Dorothy May Bundy of Santa Monica, Cal, had a struggle before ousting Jane Stanton of Los Angeles, Cal.

Is Not Peoria in

They will be back to Teepee Town tonight for a two-day pennant pow-wow with the Columbus Red Birds out at Perry Stadium. Listen all you skeptical young bucks, you have been reading too much about the Yankees, why our Indianapolis Indians have been setting records, too. For once they didn’t come back from the west on their shields. Eleven won and six lost is their present record and in the Indian language that's not Peoria. They mauled (and vice versa) the mighty Millers, they blasted the badland Blues, they bottled the bot-

tom Brewers, saddened the Saints and broke even with the Colonels.

An Even Break

The even break with the Colonels came under the arcs down at Louisville last night when Ray Starr came out of a pitching duel with Emerson Dickman with one run to Dickman's zero, giving the Tribe's boss pitcher 19 victories so far this season, The Indians held out until the ninth to score their run as they turned in the usual perfect pitcher —powder-puff hitters chow. Allen Hunt walked to start the closing frame and raced to third when George Lacy, Colonel catcher, threw wildly to first attempting to pick off the Indina runner. The ball went into rightfield and Hunt scored when Rightfielder Tom Gwin allowed the ball to get away from him. The only other Tribesman to feel third base territory was Milt Galatzer, who blasted out a triple in the second inning. For the Colonels the bases were strictly forbidden territory and only Junie Andres was able to reach third. It was Southern Indiana night to honor the Colonels from Southern Indiana towns, so our Redskins made it a Hoosier holiday.

Brown Avenges

Orville Brown, Kansas heavyweight, avenged a defeat suffered at the hands of Dorve Roche of Decatur, Ill, two weeks ago, when the Kansas matman took the only fall of their 90-minute main go bout at Sports Arena last night in the feature wrestling match of the weekly program, Brown had a narrow squeak in gaining the nod over the “Decatur Bulldog.” After trying at various times thorughout the clash, without success, to clamp on his new “octopus” hold, Roche finally succeeded in the last minute of action, but the hell sounded to save the groggy Brown. The victor surprised Roche with a quick body slam and press to win the only fall just two minutes after the opening bell. A fast semi-final tussle was won by Steve Brody of Holyoke, Mass., who flopped Jules (Speedy). LaRance of Canada in 17 minutes with a. double wrist lock and back drop. They are. junior heavyweights. The opening skirmish was captured by light heavyweight Dave Reynolds, ydaho mat ace, when the former pinned Charlie Lay, a newcomer from Nashville, Tenn., ith a leg split in 22 minutes.

One hundred-five teams and approximately 1700 players were regis« tered with the I. S. A. this year. Forty-four teams competed in the organization's sectioned tournament last year, in affiliation with the Indiana Recreation Association's state tournament which included 451 teams competing in thirty-four sectional centers.
