It has al- ways stayed with me and I believe it will continue to do so, if we have the good fortune to race again.” the famous British Sir Henry O'Neil De- , one evening some- thing over a year ago at Miami y» Beach. He had shattered the world’s one mile record for automobile speed by attaining the amazing pace of 231 mph. on the sands at Daytona Beach. He had just beaten Gar Wood, greatest of all Ameérican motorboat pilots, in an international duel on Biscayne Bay, and it was to Wood that the re- mark about “Segrave’s luck” was addressed. Segrave was firmly convinced he bore a charmed life in the pefilous chase for speed honors; equally as faster on sure he would beat Wood and add second place and drops the Elks to| the motorboat record to his auto- mobile mark. But his “luck” appar: ently had run its course and Se- grave's name is added to a long list of others: Jimmy Murphy, Frank Lockhart, Ray Keech, Lee Bible. “It’s still too early to make any predictions,” remarked Bucky Har- ris, the Tiger pilot, on his last visit to New York, “but the Athletics have a good chance to win again if Elks and Legion meet at City Park. | Grove, Walberg and Earnshaw set- tle down to the kind of pitching Bills and Manning for the Vets.| they know plenty about. The A's are the club to beat, anyway.” Connie Mack has been having his troubles, plenty of them, but with the cripples returning to the lineup, the world’s champions have struck a more consistent winning ctride. Msofiwhile the Yankees, Cleve- land and Washington have taken turns at coming strong. The New Yorkers have requucd two months to justify the optimism they arcused in training camp but ihey now ldom as the most dangerous contender, especially with Herb Pennock pitching in old-time foim. Pitching is one thing the Yanks need in carloads lots and Pennock’s successful come-back has helped Bob Shawkey made to me in Flor- ida still holds good: “If Pennock’s arm fails to re- cover, he probably will be through for good but if he returns to form, the. Yankees will have a good chance to win the pennant.” Sammy Mandell was world's lightweight champion before his . forthcoming opponent and chal- lenger; Al Singer of New York, ever donned a professional glove. Man- dell won the 135-pound crown from | Rocky Kansas on July 3, 1926, and has held it longer than any other fighter in modern times except Ben- ny Leonard. Singer began his fight- ing career late in 1927. Frequently I have been asked what has become of C. C. Pyle, ' celebrated promoter of Red Grange, professional tennis and creator of the .lamented Bunion Derby. Those who have been apprehensive of an- otheér transcontinental foot-race may be gratified to learn that the one-time Wheaton, I, theatre- | operator has undertaken a deep- sea fishing and hunting cruise of the tropical islands off the West | coast of Mexico. Pyle has chartered a 115-foot sail ' and motor yacht for the venture, | which will take him away from the hot and dusty trails of the Bunion Derby caravan. Even C. C. by pow must have experienced the to his ]desue for relaxation after a tem- pestous career as a big-time pro- moter. Yet his flair for the un- usual remains. Pyle was good while he had it—namely the gambling spirit of a frontiersman, the cour- age of his convictions and a supply of the long green. While it lasted, this picturesque, likeable character played a spectacular role in Ameor- ican sports. “Germany has replaced her sol- dier life with athletic life,” re- marked Murray Hulbert, upon his return from the Olympic Congress at Berlin. “Instead of it being an armed camp as prior to 1914, the nation now is a net-work of gym- nasiums and athletic fields. Berlin has one major field of some 80 acres on which athletes from all over Germany train and then grad- uate. These athletes go to the smaller towns and cities and pass| on their enthusiasm and skill. The result is that athletics have become | not, only general but contagious in Germany and the indications are that in the games at Los Angeles in 1932, Germany will carry off many of the chief honors.” REVISION OF CITY | LEAGUE STANDINGS | IS ANNOUNCED NOW | A revision of City League stand- ings was anncunced today by Vice-| President “George Kollhepp that puts the American Legion club in ,the cellar. The Fourth of July series, it was revealed, were on the Iregular schedule for the second half of the season and count in the ! percentage column. | As the Veterans won two games on the Fourth, the Elks and Moose lost one each, the revision gives the Moose six won and one lost, Le- gion three won and five lost, Elks two won and five lost. | Tonight, weather permitting, the | Osborne probably will pitch for the | The game will start promptly at 16:30 o'clock. ————— | RUTH NOw HAS COMPLETED CIRCUIT WITH HOME RUNS WASHINGTON, July 16—Babe last stronghold against his home run slugging this season. } When the big Yankee slugger lined his 32nd of the season over the right field fence during a se- .ries with the Senators, he had hit a home run in every American ‘League park this year.

Fernandez is the boy who al- most ruined Singer’s title chances iby a quick knockout of the New ‘Battlino. The aftermath of that knockout, Singer says, was more of a shock to him than the two blows which caused it. The realization was brought home to him that he pos- ‘rsibly wasn't as good as all of his {friends said he was. | Singer retired to train. A good !'hitter was picked up for a sparring partner, one who could test Sin- ger's ability to take it. During this period Singer had the ‘consolation of his friend, Benny | Leonard, former lightweight king, who once was knocked out by Joe Shugrue. Leonard always claimed that defeat improved him as a i fighter. | m training, Singer discovered that he really could “take” it. He ibelieves that his failure to weather Fernandez's attack was due to lack jof condition and nervousness over an injured eye. ‘Whether the knockout or not ac- tually did Singer any good, he has come back with a string of victories including among them one over Fernandez recently in Madison Square Garden. GOOD . ADVANCE SALE NEW YORK, July 16.—Singer and Mandell meet in a 15 round title battle at the Yankee Stadium tomorrow night. The advance shle has exceeded $125,000. The odds against Singer have shortened to 6 to 5. There is a possibility that the fighters will go into the ring at even money. Experts believe Mandell has weak- ened himself by getting down to 135 pounds. Singer is not troubled by his weight as he is a natural light- weight. He has won considerable support during the past few days. A A S CAPTAIN THREE YEARS PITTSBURGH, July 16.—Eddie Jacobs has been appointed captain of the University of Pittsburgh tennis team for 1931. It will be his third year as the squad's leader. e LODE CLAIM NOTICES American or Canadian at The Empire, 3 AL SINGER’S TITLE HOPES | UNDIMMED BY “KNOCKOUT”, York battler.
