LOUGHRAN SHOWS BADLY IN VICTORY Gains Decision Over Schaaf, | but Heavy Aspirations Are Given Jolt. BY FAIRPLAY. OSTON, Mass., May 25—Tommy hran's aspirations to the heavyweight title received a se- vere jolt in his battle here with Ernie Schaaf, the 20-year-old Bostonian, last night. The light-heavy king, weighing 1851, pounds. heaved a vast sigh of relief when the judges awarded him the decision after the most gruelling contest Loughran has had in quite some time. Clearly outfought in six of the ten | rounds and staggering blindly from a | welt on the right eye that paralyzed the optic nerves, Loughran was indeed a sorry victor. Loughran started off as though he was going to stop Schaaf right off the reel. This being Jack Sharkey's home town, Tommy was anxious to show Johnny Buckley, Jack’s manager, who was at the ringside, what he had in the line of socks. Loughran's attempt to rush Schaaf out of the picture was frustrated by his willing opponent. Schaaf piled up a good lead in the four rounds by constantly jamming & left hook into Tommy's body. There was little in the otherwise cool Lough- ran's work to stamp him as a possible threat among the heavies. The youth- ful ex-Navy fighter disdained to box at | long range and kept piling in, with | both hands flying and hitting the mark. | In the sixth and seventh Loughran rallied to take the rounds by rmhmg\ Schaaf with several hard right upper- | cuts and his long snake-like left jabs. | Ernie took the play away as the champ | tired and mauled in close. Despite a closing rally in which he | raised a lump on Loughran's right eye | the size of a hen's egg, Schaaf saw & well earned award tossed to his oppo- | nent by the officials. . Schaaf, at 20 years old, is an up and | coming threat among the heavies. Vic- | tories over Johnny Risko and Harold Mays and the stirring battle he made against Tommy Loughran are Ernie’s| open sesame to recognition. l HOME RUN STANDING By the Associated Press. nmm-y‘s home runs—Bottomley, Cardinals, 2; Herman, Robins, 1; Jack- son, Giants, 1; Roush, Giants, 1,' Cronin, Senators, 1; POXX, Athletics, 1: | Slmmons, Athletlc:, 1; Cochrane, Ath- lectics, 1 National League Leaders.

By virtue of Ohta’s victory, 6-4, 5-7, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, the Nipponese today had an opportunity to'achieve what a week ago was thought far beyond their capa- bility, a triumph over America in the semi-final mund of American Zone Davis Cup In the concludlng matches at Chevy Chase this afternoon Ohta meets Johnny Hennessey, and Tamio Abe, who was switched from a hard driving game to a chop-stroke campaign. He mixed 'em | up. He lobbed. And the courageous Yankee came within one point of vie- tory, only to be thwarted, as always, by | a trick of Ohta. In the tenth game of that nerve- tickling final set the American led by 5—4 and had the advantage point. One successful stroke would turn the trick. In this emergency the Japanese might have been expected to play safe for the error. Instead, he blazed away with daring abandon and after an agonizing rally averted disaster. He turned the tide with a perfect lob that mLDDCd Van Ryn as he closed in to the beaten Thursday by Hennessey, takes| nel on Van Ryn. The Amerlcann are prohibitive fa- vorites to win one of these contests and thereby clinch the series. But the odds, against Ohta were so overwhelming that it was accounted little more than formality that his match with Van Ryn, halted the previous day by darkness, be completed. Ohta Is Brilliant. Yet Ohta came through. Van Ryn needed only two games to win the match when play was resumed. But the Japanese, flashing all sorts of brilliant strokes and taking every chance that presented itself, captured four straight mes to take the set, 6—4, and square the match. ‘That was a stunning surprise, but Ohta had more to spring. He pro- ceeded to give the American some- thing of a lesson in tennis strategv as well as stroking to take the decid- ing set, 7—5. Van Ryn (OuRhY hflrd He attempted | per Strategy Tells Tale. ‘The uncanny accuracy with which Ohta used the lob and the cleverness with which he masked the stroke until it was too late for his o ‘Fponent to check his rushes forward imost completely spiked Van Ryn's most dangerous in- strument of attack, the volley. Seldom was he able to get in a shot at close range, and Ohta’s perfectly placed shots kept him continually on the run. He was punished severely. From start to finish it was a bril- liantly played match, and hardly could have been more closely contested. a matter of fact, Van Ryn, though he lost: scored more points than his oppo- nent. The recapitulation reveals 181 points for the Yankee and 176 for Yoshiro. Each won the same number of games, 26, and each scored 120 errors. ‘The doubles match was soft for the smooth-working team of Hennessey and Van Ryn. They beat Ohta and Abe, 63, 6—4, 6—2. BRAXTON WlLL FACE A'S IN BATTLE HERE SUNDAY Manager Walter Johnson's much battered athletes return to their own yard tomorrow for a scrap with the Athletics, which will mark the open- ing of a home stand that will cover an entire month of play in which every club in the league will be on exhibition. Garland Braxton, who alone of the Grifithian flingers has won more games than he has lost and who registered his Afth victory of the season inst the Yankees last Wednesday, is being reserved for service on'the Sabbath and with | three full days of rest it is hoped he | can lead the Nationals to their first | triumph over the Mackmen on the | local lot this year. | GRIFFITH HURT, MAY DELAY TITLE FIGHT By the Assoclated Press. [ CHICAGO, May 25.—Jerry Tufly Griffith of Sioux City, Iowa, was nurs- ing a damaged right hand today that may force the postponement of his proposed championship match with Tommy Loughran, world light-heavy- weight title holder. Grifith injured his hand in making his debut as a_heavyweight against Al Priedman of Boston in the Chicago Stadium last night. He will submit to an X-ray examination to determine the extent of the injury. Grifith had no trouble in defeating the Boston heavy- weight. He upset him twice with sharp right crosses to the chin, scoring knock- downs in the first and fourth rounds. Luis Vicentini, Chilean lightweight, won a close verdict from Armando Santiago, the Cuban lightweight, while Jackle Fields of Los Angeles, recognized by the National Boxing Association as world welterweight champion, breezed | to an easy victory over Clyde Chastain, who previously had chalked up 35 knockouts in 43 battles. Chastain had no chance to get set for his knockout unches against Flelds, who was too gusy with left hooks and a sharp-| shooting right to become a target for| any of Chastain’s wallops. The three 10 rounders drew 17,300 to Paddy Harmon's arena, with the gross gate receipts mlmnted at $62,000. SHIRES IS BEINSTATED.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, May 25—Big Bill Tilden will bid fond adieu to international tennis competi- tion after the current season is over. After 10 years of serjous tennis, filled with dramatic_victories and equally dramatic defeats, Big Bill finally has decided that he has had enough. ‘The lanky Philadelphian, six times holder ‘of the national title, bulwark for years of American Davis Cup teams, a dominant figure season after season on foreign courts, announces his ap- proaching retirement from international play in an article, written by him- self, in the June 1 issue of the maga- zine Liberty.

Such was the belief about e. ‘Then, as the trade winds began to blnw. Detroit became interested. The cago White Sox also put in & bid for Uhle but it fell through. Other clubs scoffed at the idea of Uhle re. gaining the effective use of his arm. Even Detroit figured that he might only be active as a pinch pitcher and batter. Shortstop Tavener and Pitcher Hol- loway went to Cleveland for the pitcher, and there was little comment about the exchange. In making the trade Cleve- land took the logical gamble, believing that Uhle had seen better days. Uhle planned wisely. He knew his value when his arm was right. Before the tralning season he went to a spe- cialist on the Pacific Coast. The spe- cialist “stretched” the arm, and per- formed a base ball miracle. For, vir- tually useless last season after July 4, Uhle today is about the most valuable pitching asset in the majors. If there is any doubt, let a club nv.- tempt to make a trade for him, or to buy him. An offer of the biggest amount would be ln\uhed at. In a recent chat about Uhle, Man Stanley Harris paid this tribute: “He is lighting the way for us. Uhle should be an inspira. tion to pitchers who have the r)‘ht stuff, but pitch the wrong way.” A Business and an Art. Uhle makes both a business and an art of pitching. Here is a tale that gives one the low-down on his pitch- ing make-up.

ITH hardly anything but, the game's outcome at stake, the Tiger: and the White Sox punched and jabbed at each other for 21 innings at Comiskey Park yester- day, thereby removing the spot- light from the efforts of the Athletics to lap the field. The Tigers won the marathon by 6 to 5, and did regain a virtual tie with the Yankees, but both clubs stood five games behind the flying {Mackmen today. Ted Lyons went the route against De- | troit and Géorge Uhle pitched 20 of the i"‘ innings. The veteran Detroit right- hander gave way to a pinch runner in | the twenty-first round, but received credit for the victory, his eighth in suc- cesslon this season. ~ Lil Stoner finished for him. ‘The game was three rounds short of the American League record and five below the memorable draw played by the Braves and the Robins on May 1, 1920. Only four contests ever went longer than the Detroit-Chicago battle, however—the two record classes and a pair of 22-inning games in the National League. ‘The Athletics rapidly are growing into as great a menace to the peace of seven American League clubs as the Yankees were for three seasons. The flying Macks made it nine in a row yesterday by cuffing the Senators, 10 to 3, at Shibe Park. Foxx, Simmons and Coch- rane went on a home-run spree after Cronin had hit one out of the lot for the Senators. Red Sox Blank Yanks. The Red Sox helped the Mackian cause by whitewashing the Yankees, 5 to 0, at the Fenway. Danny MacFay- den gave the champlons just four hits and never was in danger. Herb Pennock held the Red Sox scoreless until the sixth, when five singles and an error by Combs sent him from the mound. It was the first shutout of the Yanks this season. The Browns kept pace with the Ath- letics by trouncing the Indians, 5 to 0, at Clcvehnd Sammy Gray gave seven scatte e ume for the leadership ot the National League swung back the favor of the Cubs yesterday, dunlte two home runs by Jim Bottomley.
