The longest game on record is the twenty-six inning tie between the Dodgers and Boston back in 1920 with Leon Cadore and Joe| Oeschger going the full route. An-| other long game is the twenty-one- inning battle between Ted Lyons of the White Sox and George Uhle, then with the Tigers, at Comisky | Park game. The ball was just being tinkered with around those years with extra in 1828. elasticality and virility given to the| sphere although it has only been of late years that the “rabbit” qual- ities of the ball have reached its peak as indicated by the home run harvest.

The German stands to make around $200,000. He could have had the match on a basis of a $300,000 guar- antee or a 30-30 split, if he had signed with Jacobs prior to the Braddock-Louis title bout last June At that time, Schmeling preferred to go through with the legal shad- ow boxing instituted by Madison Square Garden. The fight probably will be held in the Yankee Stadium, the third week of June, but Promoter Jacobs will not make any decision until he has given detailed thought to the possibilities of Philadelphia’s Mu- nicipal Stadium or Chicago’s Soldier Field as sites. It was in the Yan- kee Stadium, a year ago last June, that Schmeling flattened Louls in IBEES WALLOP Going to Have Another Try H Frank | Parish, | Kriken Fiske, L.
