The bout will be staged in the Yankee Stadium and will go 15 rounds on September 26. D TEXAS ROOKIE RULE HELPS MAJOR SCOUTS DALLAS, Aug. 8—A bumper crop of young major league prospects has appeared in the Texas league this scason with adoption of the rigid five-rookie rule. Scouts from leading clubs, which have picked up dozens of stars from Texas diamonds in years past, are working the circuit harder than ever. Several clubs have received at- tractive offers. Cecil Stewart, the speedy secondbaseman of the Shreveport club, probably will bring the fanciest price of all this fall. Officials so far have refused to pin a price tag on him. While not an exceptionally hard hitter, Stewart is dependable, and his . fielding has been sensational. To start the season he accepted 156 chances before committing an error. Bernard Starr, slugging Shreve- port catcher, and Irvin Jeffries, Dallas third sacker, are other rook- ies who are almost certain to get a chance under the big top next year. Starr led the league in bat- ting for several weeks. behind the bat for the Chicago Cubs. Although he was off to a late| start, Angley hit for .369 in his first | 27 games against American ciation pitching. That put him in second place to Hargrave of St Paul, the circuit’s leading batsman. Early this season Angley was one GAMES WEDNESDAY Pacific Coast League Los Angeles 3; Hollywood 2.

This boy has had a phenomenal record in his short big league career. In the spring of 1928 came to the Phil- adelphia National League Club, a red-headed, left-handed outfielder by the name of Charley “Chuck” Klein. He was said ter and a worse outfielder. With Fort Wayne »f the Central League he didn’t show much ability.

Thinking this was only a flash in the pan, sports scribes did not pay much attention to him in 1929 until he began break- ing fences all over the circuit. Now, midway in the season, Klein has amassed a total of 28 home runs, leading both leagues, and is the proud possessor of a batting average of .373, fourth highest in the National League. Klein is one of the very few men in the history of baseball who has hit five home runs in three consecutive games. This he accomplished re- cently. Klein’s story is one of the strangest of any ball player in the game today. Instead of cracking under the tremendous impetus of a major league opportunity, he has become a Center shows to be a fair hit- home runs and with only 3 errors chalked up | better fielder and a vastly improved hitter, | | i | | | Pacific Coast League i - .- — Won Lost Pet.| San Francisco 2% 13 3 B b o i A S S Mission 24 14 PORT BRIEFS Hollywood 23 14 K b -Gt A D N L (R Los Angeles 23 15 0 AL AR B G B B T | Portland 18 20 474 | | Oakland 17 21 .447| Henry Ekstrom, golf captain at) | Sacramento 18, ‘9% .351 | Dartmouth, is the new state ama- Seattle 8 30 _211!Lcur champion of New Hampshire.
