Jacobs’ Beach As (uiet as Italian Navy
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 17-—That silly

Jacobs’ beach is the strip of “asphalt turf” bounded on the west by Madison Square Garden, on the east by a string of saloons, on the north by Uncle Mike himself and on the south by Man O'War out of Esposa, she by Espino. It's called Jacobs’ beach because until three ~ |weeks ago it was the mecca of the | ght mob. Now, however, it is as |idle as the Italian navy.

Guests are furnished hot and cold running horse tips and local pawnbrokers provide room service on a 24-hour basis. I inspected the resort today and can guarantee that if you want to be alone you can find no likelier spot, excepting the offices of European traveling agencies.
No Major Bout for Month
Conditions aren't merely serious, they are critical. There hasn't been a boxing show in the Garden in almost a month and there is none in sight at the moment. The war, of course, did the most {to Kill business. Dozens of boxers now are fighting for Uncle Sam instead of Uncle Mike. But there are other reasons why activity has come to a standstill.

“Lucky” Purnell of Birmingham, Ala, did everything but steal the show at the Indianapolis Speedrome last night as he hung up a new track record for the 25-lap feature and won both of the Class A championship events on the East side track's 100-lap midget card. The double victory provides him with a topheavy advantage in the drivers’ standings. He has won four of the five feature events staged to date. The new record came in the final event on the program as Kip Young of Muncie and Harry Hart of Kansas pushed the leader at top speed on the last eight laps of the race.

By Eddie Ash
THE popular and widely known J. G. Taylor Spink, publisher of Sporting News, the baseball weekly, has written about the mine-runs and heroes of the national game in the columns of his “Baseball Bible” each week
for many years. Now Expert Spink finds the tables turned in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, with Stanley Frank, New York sports writer, as the able biographer who wraps the story of this tireless baseball serivener around some historical facts of the diamond pastime during the last 50 years. “Spink is the game's unofficial conscience, historian, watchdog and worshiper; and, happily, he has made a nice piece of change in these public-spirited roles says Frank. “The fans begrudge him this no more than they begrudged Babe Ruth the immense income he got from the diamond. “Although its 16 pages are awesome masses of fine type containing up to 100,000 words of English and semi-English words, the Sporting News is devoured by the fans wita religious absorption, down to the last comma,” the Post article states. “players read it for ammunition which can be used on the firing line when the dugout jockeys ate unloading Baseball executives watch it for trends. Managers and scouts study it to trace the progress of rookies in the deepest bush. It is the only organ that carries percentages, box scores and weekly reviews of every team in every loop from the Class D, leaky-roof leagues, with their $65 a month salary limit, to the plushy majors. “For a great many baseball-loving Americans, the Sporting News is their only extra-curricular reading material.
The Customers Always Write
“CLUB OWNERS recognize the value of the Sporting News in promoting the game, sustaining interest during the off-season, and, above all, as a barometer of cash-customer opinion, Sporting News readers are inveterate letter writers and devoted partisans, and Spink editorially reflects their anxiety for the welfare of the game. “Spink is one of the most indefatigable users of the telephone and telegraph. His telegraph toll runs about $10,000 a year and his phone bill averages $6500. “When he is not on the road drumming up advertising or plugging a scheme to promote baseball, he reads every line of the galley proofs and struggles with the composition of breezy, gaggy headlines, They are his particular pride and joy. and the punnier they are the louder he laughs at them,” says Frank.

IF EXPERIENCE counts, Indianapolis’ Chuck Klein is just the man to stand in the coacher’s box and tell the Phil baserunners what to do next ... The former National league home run king, now John Lobert’s right-hand man in the coaching department of the Phils, holds the 20th century National league record for runs scored in one season, his 158 in 1930. “Sliding Billy” Hamilton, of the 1804 Phils, holds the all-time major league record, 196, but since 1800 no player in any season of senior circuit competition has crossed the plate as often as Chuck did for the 1930 Phils,
Hoosier Golfer May Dethrone Teammate
EARL STEWART, Louisiana State's defending champion in the 45th annual national intercollegiate golf tournament at South Bend country club next week, has been getting most of the L. S. U. publicity. . . . But he may be dethroned by his teammate, Dale E. Morey, who comes from Martinsville, Ind. Dale was two under par in the recent Southeastern conference tournament to take runner-up honors behind Grover Poole of Duke. Morey qualified with 144 last year, two strokes behind Stewart's record-breaking 142. . . . He holds four course records, including a 31 for the nine-hole layout at the Martinsville country club, and a 63 at the Lafayette, Ind, municipal course,
$ 8 = § & #4 A CLOSER CHECK of the records shows that the course record at the South Bend country club belongs to Burleigh Jacobs of Milwaukee, Wis, who captains the University of Wisconsin golf team. Jacobs, just out of high school, shot a 67 in the western amateur qualifying round in 1938 to erase the mark of 68 shared by Willie Goggin of San Francisco, Cal, and John Watson, South Bend pro. Jacobs will compete in next week's national college tourney at South Bend.

EVANSTON, Ill,
June 17 (U. P.)—An underrated band of athletes
representing the Big Ten enjoyed some long-sought revenge today as & result of their unexpected victory over an all-star track squad from the

Before a crowd of 12,000 fans last night at Northwestern university's Dyche stadium, the underdog Big Ten team rolled up 692% points to 57%
points for the Pacific coast squad to

He returned to sprint the 220 in 20.4 seconds and break the old mark of 21 seconds flat established by Y.ee Orr of Washington in 1937.
