FAMOUS ‘BIG TRAIN’ RETIRES MAY PILOT MINOR LEAGUE CLUB Tribe Plays Heads-Up Baseball to Defeat White Sox Be- hind Rookie Hurler YANKEES WALLOP RED SOX Giants Increase Lead to Four Games by Beating Dodg- ers; Phillies Victors (By the Associated Press) Walter Johnson, having doffed his managerial garb, is retiring to his Maryland farm, but there are some who predict. he eventually will pilot a minor league club. For more than 20 years he baffled batters with a ball that came down the alley with velocity something akin to a bullet. The American League bestowed on him its highest award, the disting- uished cross of baseball, a Maltese cross studded with 20 diamonds. ‘Then he became a manager. Many a ball player has slipped in- to some comparatively quiet town af- ter his arm lost its whip or his bat- ting eye dimmed with the years, and managed a minor league team. Off to New Start ‘The Cleveland Indians got off to a good start under their new Manager Steve O'Neill Monday, playing heads up baseball to defeat the Chicago White Sox, 4-2. Ralph Garner, a tribal rookie, was sent in to pitch and turned in a mas- terful job, holding the Sox to six hits. O'Neill resumed his usual position at third base. Once when the White Sox ‘complained that Winegarner was not keeping his foot on the rubber as he pitched, O'Neill settled the dispute in true managerial fashion. The Yankees walloped the Red Sox 10-2, and Washington tured back the Athletics 10-7 in other American ‘League games. In the National League the Giants ‘beat Brooklyn 5-4; Philadelphia beat the Boston Braves 9-1, and Cincinnati beat the Cubs, 3-1.

Louis-Levinsky Go Drawing Big Gate $200,000 Crowd Expected to Witness Detroit Bomber and Ex-Fish Peddler Chicago, Aug. 6.—(7)—A gate that may reach $200,000 was in prospect Tuesday for the heavyweight fight at ‘Comiskey Park Wednesday night, be- tween Joe Louis, Detroit’s knockout sensation, and King Levinsky, glorified ex-fish peddler. When the box office traffic was opened Tuesday, Promoter Joe Foley announced $110,000 was already in the strong box. He predicted another $100,000 would come rolling in before the walloping Chicagoan and the De- troit Negro started throwing punches at each other’s chin. If Promoter Foley is right in his predictions, Louis, just 21 years old, and yet to have his first shave, will earn $60,000 with his fists Wednesday night. Louis, who quit work in a Detroit automobile plant a year ago to receive $50 for his first fight, has been guaranteed 30 per cent of the receipts, with 20 per cent going to the Kingfish. the YESTMRDAY'S ST s (By the Associated Press) Hank Lieber and Dick Bartell, Giants—Hank drove in three runs, Dick two, one with homer, to beat Dodgers 5 to 4.

Thursday they will move to Virden, Manitoba, for an- other tournament before coming back to Bismarck for their last three-game home series. The Twin City Colored Giants will furnish the opposition for the locals in the week-end series which will wind up Sunday in a big booster game. Ticket sales for the appreciation day contest were being conducted by a group of interested business men who predict that a record crowd will at- tend Sunday’s game.
