They're putting on irack meets, and the possibilities are limitless. When Ben Chapman, the Yankees’ | favorite speedster, outfooted Carl} Reynolds of the White Sox in a spe- cial match race before Tuesday's tilt at Chicago, something undoubtedly was started. From now on the cus- tomers perhaps will expect to see jumping pits and cinder paths as) regular equipment in all well regu- lated parks. Chapman, seeking more sprinters} ‘ to conquer, already has issued a defy} to any player League for a 100-yard match race, and they're talking of putting him|c against the National League's speed! champion as a feature of the ap- proaching world series. After beating Reynolds by some four yards in their special dash, Chapman utilized his speed in the game that followed to steal his 50th and 51st bases of the year. The last American Leaguer to equal that mark was George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns, in 1922. He still, however, is far from Ty Cobb's 1915 record of 96 thefts. ‘The Yankees won, incidentally, 8 to 0, behind Herb Pennock’s six-hit} pitching. It was the first shut-out} credited to the McCarthymen this season. Eddie Rommel! hurled the Athletics to a 4 to 1 victory over the St. Louis Browns. The Washington Senators thumped the Detroit Tigers, 5 to 1 Rain prevented the scheduled bout between Cleveland and the Red Sox. The Giants helped matters along by trimming the Chicago Cubs twice, 5 to 3 and 7 to J, stretching their lead over the Hornsby clan to five games. Ott’s home run with two on featured|- the first ‘The Robins divided a pair with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates took the opener, 5 to 3, Fred Heimach squared matters by holding them to three hits and winning the nightcap, 5 to 0. + Cincinnati and Philadelphia took turns applying the whitewash, Reds winning the first, 8 to 0, be- hind Red Lucas’ brilliant pitching and the Phils taking the second, 1 to 0. Old Socks Seibold held the Card- §nals scoreless for eight innings, but they nicked him for one to tie the score in the ninth and then collected three more in the 10th to defeat the Boston Braves, 4 to 1.

Tossing away a fortune of $300,- | 000 earned with his fists in the tender for the bantamweight and featherwight championships, now blind in one eye, left Wednesday | for Los Angeles for a job washing dishes at $16 a week. He is flat broke, except for carefare home and $10 to buy food en route. This Filipino youth, now 28 years old, fought his last fight in Dayton, Ohio, Monday night. He fell a knockout victim, with Eddie Shea, Chicago, striking the last crushing blow. At the height of his career Sarmiento was a sen- sational fighter. Hr fought often and for big purses, but he tossed his money about like handbills. In one year Sarmiento earned $85,000, but allowed it to slip through his fingers. He loved to dress, buying $150 suits, three or four at a time, $20 silk shirts by the dozen, with all accessories to match, both in splendor and in price, automobiles two at a time. He refused to walk four blocks. It was always a taxicab with a healthy tip for the driver, if one of his own cars was unavailable. In one night in Chicago he lost $6,000 in cash, a diamond stickpin and a damond ring over a dice table. Sarmiento loved to gamble, and he seldom won.

BOTH SAID SLOW THINKERS South American One of Rick- ard’s Last and Least Suc- cessful Importations New York, Aug. 26.—()—Ponder- ous but powerful pugilism is in order at Ebbets field tonight as Victorio Campolo, the huge Argentine heavy- weight, meets Ernie Schaaf, a slight- ly smaller battler from Boston, over the 12-round route. Tonight's bout probably will decide for Campolo whether his aspirations to advance as a heavyweight contender will con- tinue or be snuffed out. The Argentine, one of Tex Rickard’s last and least successful importations, is facing one of the strongest men he ever has met in the ring. Campolo is six feet, seven inches in height and Toledo Errs Five Times weighs 240 pounds.

Down the home stretch they are playing with four regulars on the bench. Mickey Cochrane, catcher, is the latest casualty. He returned home Tuesday for a rest at the seashore, suffering from dizzy spells which have been keeping him from sleep. His physician refused to disclose whether the ailment resulted from sinus trouble, which has bothered him, or from injuries received 10 days ago when hit in the head with a pitch. When Cochrane left the A’s at St, Louis, he joined Al Simmons, George Haas and Joe Boley on the disability list. Jimmy Dykes, Max Bishop and Johnny Heving, Cochrane’s under- study, also have been out of the game during the last month but are back now. George Earnshaw hasn’t worked in the box for almost two weeks and some say his arm is sore. Connie ‘Mack hasn’t announced it. Mack is giving his first-stringers all the rest they need and want. His) reserves have delivered in the pinch, even hitting and fielding at times as) well as the regulars. Cochrane believes he'll be back Monday. Simmons expects to return to left field next week. Haas and Boley have hopes. Connie Mack’s charges had trouble with the Yankees last year but were all around for world series’ call, The Georgia Bulldogs will have 12 HUNT SEASON IS SHORTENED 4 AT REQUEST OF SPORTSMEN Conference Called Here Last Month Recommended Such Action by Hoover President Hoover’s prociamation shortening the hunting season of ducks, geese, brant and coots through- out the United States and Alaska follows action of conservation officials who met here last month to urge such action, Burnie Maurek, state game and fish commissioner, called a conference at- tended by officials of game and fish departments from Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota, North Dakota and Manitoba. A resolution adopted by the group called for a 30-day season. At the same time representatives of Canadian provinces, meeting at Ed- monton, Alberta, took similar action and the two groups agreed to present @ united front to Canadian and American governmental officials for a shorter season. The chief complaint of officials meeting here was that weather condi- tions in the northern area permitted @ season of from 30 to 40 days, while in the southern area hunting could continue through the entire season averaging more than 90 days. The conference here drew up rec- ommendations to be made to federal officials for remedying the situation.
