§ i aud Flying Vi SHOULD SUCCEED TO TITLE AS MODEL OF SHORTSTOPS s Can Cover More Ground Than a Snowstorm, Old Timer, Who Also Is Convinced That Myer Will Make Good at Third Base. BY JOHN A. FERRALL. HE Kid found the Old Timer sitting on a park bench in the twilight, T a copy of the base ball edition in his hand. He did not look up nor speak as the Kid sat down beside him. After a somewhat extended silence the Kid remarked: “If you ask me, this new line-up of the Griffs looks pretty good.” Nobody is asking 1 any questions.” said the Old Timer shortly. The telephone doesn't ask any (|nc\|mn< cither,” remarked the Kid, brightly, “but vou gotta keep answering it. What's the matter w'th you, any wav? I know they got licked, but what are you going to do about it? You sure are a hard loser They should put you in a straitjacket every time the Griffs lose and keep you in it until you become normal again—as normal as you ever are.” “I guess you are right,” admitted the Old Timer “I am a hard loser. | My ideal base ball same would by one | in‘which the score was 26 to 3 in favor of the Grifis, with the winners scoring runs before u man was out in the | first inning.

C, JUNE 6, LAUREL AUTO RACES CERTAIN T0 BE HELD Automobile races on the Baltimore- Washington Speedway positively will be run on June 19 as scheduled. In. terference with the program has been prohibited by order of the Yederal Court in Baltimore, Possibility of cancellation or post- ponement of the races, threatened during the last week by a receiver- ship action flled agains the speedway corporation, has been removed by the | bh court order. Announcement of this outcome of litigation was made here yesterday by Clarence K. Sowers, secretary and manager of the speedway, who made it clear that nothing but unfavorable weather now could bring about a postponement of the June 19 program. The exact day for bringing the cars to the Laurel oval will depend largely on when they can be moved from the new Philadelphia speedway at Lang- horne, Pa., where the National Motor Racinz Assoclation drivers have spent more than a weck preparing for a run-off of the Decoration day races postponed on account of rain. The program for the June 19 event still calls for three featuré@—one 25- mile sprint, a 50-mile race and ono 100-mile contest that will demonstrate the long-distance abilitles of the Na- tional drive Trial runs will be staged on the track on as many race as the weather wiil permit. OLD BIRD RACE GOES T0 BRONZE FAVORITE Twenty lofts were represented by the 200 birds taking part in the fifth race of the National Capital Con- course Assoclation’s old bird serfes flown over the Western course from Deshler, Ohlo, a distance of 400 miles airline. Bronze Favorite, from the . & W. R. Pennington loft. captured first place, but was hard pushed by Blue Belle from the Naval Air Station. Going Some, the mother of Bronze Favorite, came in for third honors, being timed only a few seconds be- hind the winner. The birds were released at 6 a.m. and the winner clocked in at 6:20 p. m.

STREAK Vincent Dundee, brother of the ? mous Joe Dundec of Baltimore, will endeavor to halt the string of knock- out victories piled up by Willie Wig- gins of Trenton, N. J. when the Oricle welter fuces the Jerseyite over the 12round route at Kenilworth Arena on Tuesday evening. Dundee has piled up 38 consecutive wins, including decisions over Nick Bass, Tony Cortez and other likely Wattles, as well as a knockout win over Len Mahoney. Wiggins' recent knockout of Tony Cortez fmpreésed local fans as an ex- hibition of terrific hitting. Knockouts are not new to Wiggins. In his Jersey and Pennsylvania ring_encounters he usually drops them. But in Dundee he will be shooting at a rapidly mov- ing target, a boy who knows the box- ing business from A to Izzard. The two are to weigh in at 145, which will give Dundee # slight weight advan- tage. In an eight-round semi-final Young Dencio local Filipino midget, will take on Jack Cafoni.

BY SPARROW McGANN. EW YORK, June 6.—Should Young Stribling lift the world light- N heavy crown from the lowering brow of Paul Berlenbach next Thursday night—as well he may—it will mark the rare individual as champion box-fighters go these days. Berlenbach won the title from Mike McTigue in 1925 on day, and since then he has answered the gong against formidable oppo nents seven times.* Paul's willingness to do battle has been remarkable, in view of the fact that a titleholder is permitted to capitalize his mythical bauble showing himself to a curious public in set-up bouts or on the vaudev slag(u passing of a Memorial in RICKARD IN NO RUSH ABOUT FIGHT PLANS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 5.—Tex Rickard and James A. Farley, chairman of the State Athletic Commission, prob- ably will not come to grips over the | Dempsey-Tunney-Wills ~situation for another 10 days. This was indicated today by Rick- ard's statement that he likely would not go before the commission next Tuesday, as he originally planned, to discuss his plans for a heavyweight title bout_in September. Rickard declined to After he secured the crown he was even willing to measure lops with Jack Delaney, who previously knocked him out. This means, among other things, that Berly has a fighting heart. Delaney Misses Chance. In the case of the coming Stribi battle, Berlenbach had agreed to meet the winner of the McTigue-Delane bout, which, as will be remembered Delaney won. Delaney’s manager Pete Reilly, did not care to sign contract with Tex Rickard, and wen over to Humbert Fugazy's camp. Berlenbach promptly signed with Fugazy, and left it up to the New York Boxing Commission to decide which promoter should hold the hout In the meantime young Stribling had signed up with Tex Rickard,and the commission ruled that Rickard was the man to put on the light heavy bhout. So Stribling was nam. and Delaney was sidetracked for the | time being. But. according to cor tracts on file, Berly is committed to fight the Bridgeport Adonis within 10 days after the Stribling battle, pro vided, of course, he retains his title. Will Need a Rest. But if he does whip the Dixie lad there seems little chance that he wil be able to take on Deluney within t stipulated time. He will have hi hands full in attempting to get by the Southerner, and by the time the fifteenth round is ended he will be in say whether ed by Farley's ultimatum to the pro moter vesterday, in which the com- missioner threatened Rickard with disharment for continuing arrange- ments to match Dempsey with Tun- ney instead of Wills. The promoter intimated, however, that he is concentrating his efforis preparing for the Berlenbach-Strib- ling light-heavyweight championship | battle next Thursday at the Yankee preferring to shelve his Dempsey affair until it is over. Rick- ard expects the lightheavyweight title to draw a of close to $250,000. . “gate" FIRPO SPOILED BY MONEY IN OPINION OF DE FOREST| By the Associated Press. (Note—This is the sixth and last of a serics bt stories on the career of Jimmy De Forest.) 5—Jimmy De Forest is the real discoverer of Luis EW YORK, June N in November, 1922, a few days after bunk on the Southern Cross, the ship which brought him from his native tand. The noted trainer shook his white head and sighed as he mused over covery, the subsequent events and that hectic fight ¢, in which the Argentine came within a wisp of the the details of that di with lmk Dempse, world heavyweight title. . But Jimmy DeForest holds malice | toward none. He fulfilied his contract with Firpo. He brought him within sight of his coveted goal. And never a sound of protest emerged from his lips when Firpo, fretful under the strain of DeForest's strict discipline, cast him adrift for other instruction. Love of money was Firpo's great est ring liapility, said DeForest. “He worried more about his end of the purse than he did about his physical condition. When Firgo was training for Willard, I_es abll\gheld afternoon after a particularly irksome session in the ring with Jack McAuliffe, T told both men to go in and get some sleep. “A short time afterward I was con- ducting some visitors through the camp and I asked them to step over to the barracks to see how the men slept in this Jersey air. In one of the rooms McAuliffe was lying on his bunk. snoring loudly. We stepped into Firpo's room expecting torsee the Argentine stretched out in slumber. Instead, he was sitting on the edge of his bunk with a paper and pencil covered with figures. He was trying to figure out how much he would have Jeft after Uncle Sam had claimed his share of Firpo's income.” DeForest_tells another story illus- trative of Firpo's love for the dollar. “During the same training period a friendship developed between the big boxer and a 6-year-old neighbor- hood girl. They were inseparable pals during the tedious weeks. Firpo Iiked to sit on the steps of my cot- tage and cut paper dolls for her while she snuggled up to him to pat his black hair. They took walks together, roamed the fleld and picked wild flowers. “When it came time to leave, the little girl waited with the others. When Firpo appeared she started to cry and ran to him with open arms. Firpo kneeled and kissed her forehead: and she showered kisses on his black hair. He put his hand into his pocket, pulled out and handed her—a shiny nickel.” One — MANAGEBS' AIDS CHOSEN Assistant managers of various Spring sports who automatically will become managers for 1928 have been elected for next vear vy the Students' Assembly of the University of Mary- land as follows: Base ball, Lawrence Bomberger;, track, Bruce Emerson; lacrosse, Horace Hampton; tennis, Ell- wood Nicholas.
