TINY S1SEm ~CEGGEY RAWLS -3 YEARS oLD - HAS BEEN SINING EXHIBITIONS FROM TE OFL ONING 80ARO // The somewhat sudder and be- lated discovery of the seriousness of Max Schmeling’s eye injury serves the double purpose of keep- ing the German’s heavyweight title safe for another year and of fur- nishing Primo Carnera backers with fresh ballyhoo material, for the coming push-over season. It now appears quite obvious that Schmeling’s manager had no in- tention of proceeding with the contract to fight Carnera this September, just as there was no idea a year ago of permitting Max to meet Jack Sharkey in a return title match three months after the unsatisfactory climax to their first fight. Schmeling has proved himself a better fighter and more capable champion, as a result of his knock- out victory over Young Stribling. He may be able to beat Sharkey, too, in a return fight but why be in any hurry to demonstrate this at some personal and financial risk? Carnera, presumably, still will be the big mystery man in ‘1932, just as he remained in 1930 and 1931 at the expense of the credulous cash customers. Sharkey will re- main belligerent. Schmeling, on his return to the United States, will pick the best and most profitable spot for his next title defense. Anti-Champions New York’s boxing commission- ers have a novel policy, or, perhaps no policy at all when it comes to dealing with champions and cham- pionships. The “three Musketeers” of the metropolitan rings, for example, created the junior lightweight or 130-pound title, strictly for the benefit of a few of the local war- riors, including Johnny Dundee, It escaped somehow to the cus- tody of Tod Morgan of Seattle, but when Tod lost his synthetic cham- pionship on a knockout to Benny Bass at Madison Square Garden,| the comsmision forthwith threw it out. Kid Chocolate, by knocking out Bass in Philadelphia, therefore is the junior lightweight cham- pion everywhere but in New York. No middleweight or heavyweight champion is recognized in New York, either. Mickey Walker was not permitted to fight in New York until he served notice he no longer wanted the 160-pound hon- ors. The case of Max Schmeling is more complicated, for it was New York that first raised the banner for the German, following his vic- tory on a foul over Sharkey. | Subsequently, the commissioners decided they had made a mistake. They withdrew recognition of Schmeling, who is nevertheless ac- cepted elsewhere as the heavy- weight titleholder. Sports Writer Blues “Night baseball,” writes Stuart X. Stephenson in the Montgomery Advertiser, “is guilty of working a hardship on the sports departments and tying up the composing rooms of newspapers. It is . . .provid- ing a sport for many workmen who could not otherwise enjov | their favorite pastime but |the new interest is waning. Also ;night baseball is working a hard- {ship on the athlete. The lights are not good for his eyes. ; “Naturally moguls want night | baseball. It has increased attend- | |ance. They also want good, crisp ( stories of the games. They are not getting them. Sport writers get sleepy and they certainly cannot write jam-up stuff while rushing to beat a deadline. Unless night base- ball is limited to some extent the press must partially sever its rela- tions with the sport.” | (WHITNEY STABLES BUILD FOR FUTURE WITH LARGE FOAL LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 5.—| Among the 86 thoroughbreds foaled | this year at the Whitney farms, is a half-brother of Twenty Grand, 1931 three-year-old champion, A bay colt out of Bonus, dam.of Twenty Grand, he is considerad| |one of the likeliest youngsters of the Greentree nurseries.

Boyd, EXks' captain and backstop, still held cecond place with .388, Junge, Elks' second baseman and pitcher, climbed from seventh to third place. Out of six batters remaining in the elite, 300 class, four are Elks. Manning, with 302 is the fourth member of that club to place. The other two are: Worth, American Legion, who climbed last week from sixth to fourth with an average of .329, and C. MacSpadden, Moose catcher, .329. Unless Andrews goes into a dizay slump, he is practically certain to end the season with better than .400. Elks Lead As Team The Elks lead the league in team batting by a wide margin. They have made more hits, more runs and have batted more times than any other club in the circuit. Their team average is .267, 28 points ahead of the Moose, which in turn leads the Veterans by eight points.

Berg weighed 137 pounds and McNamara weighed 138 pounds. - BULLFIGHTS LOSE GROUND FOR MEXICAN POPULARITY TIA JUANA, Lower California, Aug. 5—Bullfighting rapidly is passing into the limbo of forgot- ten sports, according to Lamberto Alvarez-Gayou, director of ath-| letics for his district. Boxing, he believes, has robbed | the Mexican national pastime of| its color. | Another reason given by Gayou | for the decline of the spory is a dearth of first class toreadors. | Crowds that once shouted “Viva”| at the bull fighting arenas are thronging to the ringside. The one thing that can save| bull fighting, Bayou says, is the rise of a Mexican toreador who | can captivate the senoritas and win acclaim from critical cabal-| leros. ‘ — e NOAH'S LANDING BLOCKED | | AGRI DAHG, Turkey—If Noah| tried to land on Mt.

Up- on the outcome of the game rests the Moose hope for a chance to enter the Little World’s Series. | If the Elks win, there will be no need for a post-season schedule| as they will then have sewed up' the second half championship. They | also won the first half, and their victory in the final section would automatically give them the 1931 title without a playoff with any club. But if the Veterans are able to turn back the Bills, the Moose still will have a slim chance to go into' & post season series. It would give them a chance to tie the Elks for the final half title, forcing a| playoff for that, then, by winning!| it, a Little World’s Series. The Elks have won eight and lost two games, and tied once, with the Moose. The Moose have won five, lost four and have two tie games, the second dogfall being with the Vets. If the Vets should win tonight, and the Moose take the three games they wauld theon have to play, the two lodge clubs would be tied with eight wins and four losses each. The Elks probably will work Jimmy Manning on the mound again tonight. Although he work- ed 12 Innings Sunday, the rest has been sufficient for him. Coughlin will, work behind the bat. Pete Schmitz probably will hurl for the | Vets, Ellis may have to do the re- ceiving as Blake, his regular back- stop, left for the south Monday. | The game starts at 6:30 p.m. PRIMO CARNERA DEFEATS ANOTHER ITALIAN FIGHTER NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 5—Primo Carnera stopped Roberto Roberts, also of Italy, in the third round of a scheduled 10-round bout last night. Carnera weighed 274 pounds and Roberts 224 pounds. Roberts was floored four times before the referee stopped the fight. e Old rFapers al The Emplre.
