There was not the slightest sign of depression %s a crowd of 18,000 packed Madison Square Garden to see Mc- Larnin turn the tables on Petrolle Thursday night and gain the unani- mous verdict of referee Arthur Dono- van and two judges after 10 alter- Nately, bristling and mediocre rounds of scrapping. Receipts Set Record The gate receipts of $82,377 set a new “high” for 1931 and stimulated a feeling of prosperity in Garden circles that nas not been manifest in many a moon. It demonstrated once gain that McLarnin is the greatest drawing card in New York rings for ‘his weight and inches. McLarnin waged a cool and cal- culating fight, designed to frustrate the rushes cf Petrolle.

The decline of boxing interest also has been a factor. But there is another cause perhaps as great as either of these. It is showmanship. Part of this showmanship is ex- pressed in such rough-house tactics as the flying tackle, flying mare and airplane spin, which have largely supplanted the immobile pulling and tugging of the tiresome past. Part of it is expressed in straight slapstick comedy. A great deal of the quality that Barnum worshiped is in the cast of characters of the act itself which provides that one man must be an unscrupulous villain and his adver- sary the righteous hero. Villains take every possible advan- tage of a situation, crawling along the floor to the ropes so the referee will break a painful hold once the villain’s head is outside the ropes, as the rules specify. At another time the sneering rascal is being foiled, at his own game. I watched Zaharias make seven slash- ing flying tackles aimed generally in the direction of Jim Londos. Londos nimbly side-stepped each crude plunge, and the rafters trembled with applause. Again, the evil one, obtaining a cruel hold upon the hero, exhibits su- per-human wickedness in torturing Handsome Harry. It is the sheerest sort of silliness— but it brings a crowd to its feet like no display of dispassionate scientific skill on the mat ever could. In fact, skill in wrestling today is almost en- tirely unappreciated. ‘The credo of the wrestling people turned out exactly as they proph- esied.” ‘Added to the showmanship of vil- lain vs. hero, there appear at nearly every wrestling show, a couple of monumental mountebanks. Stars of this branch of the trade {are such :nen as Sergi Kalmikoff, the bearded Siberian. The present stunt is for his adversary to pull his whisk- ers, Another is Ferenc Holuban, who has no neck but manages to support in the style to which they have be- come accustomed seven separate and distinct stomachs. One of the vil- lainous clown types is Rudy Dusek. Even in a so-called advertised championship match, there is a great deal of whoop-te-do about nothing before the serious business of throw- ing begins. There is much leaping and heaving of bodies—often a wrestler is pitched through the ropes into the press box or to the floor outside the ring. ‘When the men really get down to business, one of the favorite falls is the airplane spin. Your champion seizes his man, hoists him high over his head, whirls rapidly a couple of times and bangs the old boy to the mat with a resouding crash. Hooray!

The match WEDNESDAY’S RESULTS American League STAFF TO RAISE AVERAGES St. Paul, Leader of Association Race, Evens Series With Kansas City Chicago, May 28—(?)—If Manager Johnny Corriden of Indianapolis, could locate some pitching talent to match the power of his batting at- tack, the Indians probably wouldn't be in seventh place in the American Association. The Indians Thursday had a team batting average of .323, and an aver- age of better than 12 hits a game for 33 games, but Oral Hildebrand, young southpaw, was the only regular Furler with a winning percentage. Indianapolis Wednesday made an effort to build up its hurling staff by purchasing Marty Griffin, a right- hander, from Montreal of the Inter- national League, and signing Russ Miller, veteran right-hander, who was released outright by Columbus. St. Paul, leader of the race, evened its series with Kansas City 6 to 4, and coming from behind to do it. Kansas City had a 4 to 2 lead going into the fifth, but the Saints picked up one in that round, two more in the sixth and added another in the seventh. Fen- ner, Saint catcher, headed up the at- tack with a triple, double and 9 brace of singles. Huck Betts held the Blues to seven hits, widely spaced after the third inning. Columbus clung to second place by whipping Indianapolis, 7 to 6, al- though outhit, 15 blows to 11, by the Indians. Minneapolis shook its slump by licking Milwaukee, 16 to 8, in. spite of the batting efforts of Art Shires and the rest of the Brewers. Shires raked opposition pitchers for a home run, double and two singles, and his team’s total was 18 hits, most of them wasted. Norris and High hit nomers for the victorious Millers. Louisville scored its second victory in three games with Toledo, bunching 12 hits for a 5 to 2 decision. Cleveli Chic: Detroit St. Louis Boston .. 4; Boston, 3 Detroit, 4-1.

Although this will be the first time in history that the open event has been held at Carnoustie, the course is almost as famous in Scotland as the classic St. Andrews links. The modern history of the links goes back about a ceatury, but local chroniclers insist they have evidence to prove the game was being played here as far back as 1727. The Carnoustie links are situated on a natural seaside. A golfer recently described the course: “There are miles and miles of it,” he said, “and thousands of bunkers.” MAJOR LEAGUE (By The Assecinted Prens) MERICAN LEAGUE Batting—Simmons, Athletics, .418; Cochrane, Ath- Cochrane, Athletics, .307.

The Giants were out in front by a game and a half Thursday, despite the fact they were several points be- hind the Cards before Wednesday's momentous proceedings. It is the first time the Red Birds have been dislodged since the race began; the first time, in fact, since the latter stages of the 1930 marathon, Frank Hogan, husky Giant catcher, and Heine Meine, Pittsburgh right Kander, collaborated to change the complexion of the race. Hogan, warped one ¢f Socks Seibold’s choicest curves into the stands with two on base to climax a four-run Giant rally in the third inning from which the Braves never recovered. : Meine set the Cardinals down wi eight scattered hits, all singles, to hang up his fourth straight victory. Meine is the only pitcher who has held the Cards scoreless this season, and he has turned the trick twice. He ee them with four hits on April Boston's third straight loss to the Giants cost Bill McKechnie's hopeful their hold on third place. The Chi- cago Cubs, by downing Cincinnati, 8 to 4, moved in. After having seen their lengthy winning streak clipped the previous day, the Philadelphia Athletics got right back on the victory trail with a 6 to 5 decision over the Yankees. Walt Johnson’s Washington Sena- tors took advantage of the opportun- ity to move into second place. Their double victory over the Boston Red Sox, 11 to 3 and 4 to 3, put them a game ahead of the Yankees and four and one-half games off the top. The Chicago White Sox swept a doubleheader with Detroit by scores of 5 to4and 10 to 1. Pat Caraway’s work in the second tilt featured the day. In addition to holding the Tig= ers to five hits to score his sixth vic- tory of the season, he led the Sox attack with three singles and a dou- ble and scored three runs, The Cleveland Indians produced a similar punch in the ninth round to take their third straight from St. Louis, 5 to 4.
