I am told the new com- mission will consist of George Lyt ton, Sheldon Clark and Leonard Hicks. But the bout doesn’t seem to be headed in that direction, oW i Detroit Choice Spot. i F. Carey has intended almos! frt;lmgl': first to hold the Sharkey Schmeling but in Detroit. Tex Rickard several times told me that he thought Detroit was the logical place for the next big September “battle of the cen- tury” Tex's idea was that an im- portant heavyweight bout was & big show and that it was not well to play ne town too often. “"So mow September 19 has been set as an approved date for the Sharkey- Schmeling affair by the Michigan com: mission, but there still are_complica tions. By some oversight, Bulow ap- parently neglected to sign Schmeling Michigan, but Sharkey for a bout in ga! s there for F!tzsln;':{mns.‘ s there is any portion of States weher either Schmeling or Shar- key has not been signed. The Michigan commission appears o have ruled -that Sharkey must box Plerre Charles on September 5. This certainly would interfere with his train- ing for a Schmeling fight two weeks later. Sharkey should beat Charles with his eyes shut, but there always would be the chance that he would hurt & hand or sprain an ankle. ‘Moreover, the Boston boxer would have to be in condition, even for Charles, and he doesn't want to reach his peak until 14 days later. No, that arrangement doesn't look reasonable. Looks Like Michigan. I cannot help feeling that Fitzsim- ‘mons and the Garden will come to some arrangement by which the former will turn over his contract with Sharkey to the Garden management. I do not think that the big bout will be held anywhere else than in Michigan. Detroit certainly should be ideal place for a big heavyweight match. It is a rich city, a progressive city and the fourth largest city in the country. It has plenty of railroad and hotel ac- commodations to handle any big bout. It never has staged a big heavyweight contest, and it is within easy traveling distance of New York, Chicago, Phila- delphia, Cleveland and other large cities. Yes, Detrolt has every facility, and if it gets the Sharkey-Schmeling bout, it certainly can make it one of the most profitable heavyweight shows ever pro- moted. However, as it stands now, the whole matter is still unsettled. , 1929, by North American News- erridiead BIDQI’, Alliance.) KENNEDY A. C. LISTS ST. MARY’S CELTICS Ted Otte’s formidable Kennedy A.

The Washington Gas Light tossers, who won the first series in the Indus- trial Base Ball League and sre making a determined bid for honors in_the | POl second half, were to meet Big Print Shop, their stuotest rivals i nthe flag battle, in a game this afternoon at 5:15 o'clock on the South Ellipse diamond. “Yesterday the Gas Light team added another win as it drubbed Chestnut Farms, 12 to 1. Incidentally, the de- feat squelched any pennant aspirations the Chestnut outfit might have cher- ished. Brown held the losers to 4 hits, while the winners socked the old apple for 17 hits. | George Washington and Walcott Post nines were to meet in a Capital City American Legion series game this after- noon on the East Ellipse at 5 o'clock. Should George Washington win, as the dope now indicates, it will face Victory ‘Thursday and the winner will be privi- leged to battle Lincoln, first half series victor, on Saturday and Sunday for the league title and to represent the Dis- trict of Columbia in the American Legion regional tournament at Philadel- phia next Wednesday, Thursday and ms"h?'m George Washington lose to ul lose ‘Walcott, Victory will claim the second- round pennant and the right to meet Lincoln for loop honors. A District titleholder must be selected by next Tuesday, as on that day the champions will leave here for the regional tournament, which gets under way the following day. Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and West Vir- ginia champions will compete along with the District of Columbia finalists. O'Briens have lost the lead in the junior section in the Capital City League as the result of a protest filed against them by Potomac A. C. having been upheld by loop officials. Potomacs charged O'Briens with using an in- eligible player. Lionel A. C. also has protested a game which it lost to O'Briens on the same ground, but league officials have postponed action until the Lionel man- ager submits evidence, which he must do before Saturday. Calvary Baptist and Grace Episcopal nines today are tied for first place in the fight for the pennant in George- town Church League, each with 13 wins against 2 defeats. ‘West Washington Baptist yesterday drubbed Calvary Baptist, 15 to 4, to create a tle between the two leaders. Prior to yesterday Calvary had been Jeading by a half game. A big third inning, during which they piled up 10 runs, assured West ‘Washington victory.

PEORIA, Ill, August 6 (#)—The 10-round bout between Jerry “Tuffy” Griffith, Sioux City (Towa) heavyweight, and Jack Murphy of Boston, stponed last night because of rain, will be held tonight. be. it immediately engages - and the other Chicago promoters. has a more or less working agree- the New York commission. i HE one shadow falling scross Pebble Beach for Bobby Jones and George Von Elm this far in advance is the haunting ap- proach of the two .18-hole matches that must be surmounted on the first day of match play. Neither is bothered in ihe slightest over the thought of qualifying among the first 32. Both are quite will take the full risk of any 36-hole it But these forced shorter marches turn into another song. Jones /Just slipped through three of them by margins thinner than the seg- ment of a toy balloon. He beat Dick Jones just one hole at Baltusrol by holing a good putt, where Dick missed a shorter one. McCarthy almost had his scalp hanging to the wigwam at Minikahda, being 2 up and 4 to play, and Rae Gorton carried him to the nineteenth hole at Braeburn. Von Elm's 18-hole career has been even more depressing. Ellsworth Au- gustus almost nailed him in the first round at Baltusrol. Then Harry Legg stopped him at Minikahda and Ducky checked him out at Braeburn. ite naturally after these some- what somber and melancholy epi- sodes you won't find Jones and Von Elm, the two stars of the champion- ship, cheering for the shorter es. Yet, these two 18-hole matches carry most of the action of the championship. It is here that most of the drama is lodged, that most of the excitement takes place. It might be argued that 1f championships are not arranged or drama and excitement, but to find the best golfer. Even so, the best golfer must be able to sprint as well as jog. Having perhaps the better swing, he must also be able to adjust his nervous system to the job at hand. He must make himself, if possible, face the assignment that demands action from the jump. The Other Side of -the Debate. ERNARD DARWIN, the able golf B writer of the London Times, has the tollowing interesting comment to make along this line: “The question of 36-hole matches, though it has lain more or less dor- mant for some time, is not a new one, either, nor are the arguments on either side. ‘It may be that my view of hu- man_nature is a lamentably low one, But I cannot help feeling that the de- sire for a 36-hole match springs too often from the smart of recent defeat. “Everybody has at some time or other lost & match as to which he has felt that if it could have gone on longer he would have won it. Everybody has felt & sudden qualm of nervousness in confronting on some more or less im- rtant occasion & player whom he usually can beat. These sentiments are not only to be d ed in the breasts of champions; it is one of the glorious privileges of the humblest of us that we share them with champions; they are eminently human; re not too harshly to be condemned. it I cannot, for the life of me, see that they are admirable or deserve any great measure of practical sympathy. “A few of these ‘surprising’ de- feats of the mighty undoubtedly come from the humble player over- whelming his adversary under an irresistible avalanche of 3s, but this is not the common case. Far more often the big man gets a bad start, is given chances to retrieve it and is not sufficiently master of himself to take them. “If he knew that he had plenty of time in which to recover from his alarms he would not be alarmed, but I am not convinced that he should be pandered to on that account. There is not one of us who in his own limited sphere has not a greater reputation than somebody else. When we meet that somebody it is good for us to be reminded that the match is not to be decided by reputation; the ball ‘maun be hit".” T up to the final round. But the present arrangement of the United States Golf Association provides the best all-round test that golf offers. Pirst there is the test of medal play in the 36-hole medal round. Then there is the test of a golfer’s ability to swing into action from the start, which is more of a test of nerve control and adopting the right mental attitude than anything else. After this the remaining golfers have their shot at the longer routes over the double round. ‘The golfer who can survive all three tests has proved his place beyond any argument. To have the qualifying rounds and then the entire show at 36 holes extends the tournament beyond all bounds. It becomes a tiresome affair with little action. There is certainly no thrill for player or spectator in an afternoon where one of the play- ers is 6, 7 or 8 down In a hopeless spot. ‘There is no reason why the better and stronger golfers can’t hit their top pace from the first hole. The better golfer ought to win at 18 holes just the same as at 36, if only he starts with the. right mental attitude—that of wast- ing no time in swinging under way. This possibly. isn’t as simple as it sounds, but it is the main solution of the better player's problem. ‘The test at Pebble Beach is quite severe, especially in the way of certain carries against the wind. The harder the test the better chance the stronger entry has, for the weaker golfer can't depend so much upon putting luck and the run of the greens. He has to get these first. Upset® may happen, but this also is & big part of the game. The All-Round Test.

Under the conditions agreed on, the yachts must have a rating of not more than 76 feet under the rules of the club, and the races will be run without time allow- ances. In the report, the committee expressed the hope that at least one more yacht would be built as a cup defender, as this “not only will aid materially in the chances of a success- ful defense of the cup, but undoubted- ly will result in the foundation of a fine class of large racing yachts in this country.” — REGATTA BODY TO MEET.

EW YORK, August 6—Max Schmeling has-his choice be- Phil Scott of Loughran iinder the Humbert Fugazy, before clared eligible to participate in any box- ing contests in this State. The idea that the German would be permitted to fight a set-up just to satisfy Fu- gazy’s claim is unfounded for the simple reason that Jack Fugazy plays the game with his patrons and would not econ- sider staging a one-sided affair to the | fans who made it possible for him to | compete with Madison Square Garden | during the open air season. | Loughran is not tied up with any one corporation and will fight for the pro- moter who can furnish a first flight heavyweight's contract. Two years ago Tommy was_practically starved out of this city. His offer to fight any one | went a-begging until Fugazy came | across with Young Siribling’s contract. Asking a topnotcher meet Stribling during the first week in May, when the nights are still cold and the fans do not care to risk the bad weather to sit three hours throughout a boxing contest call- ed for a lot of nerve. But Loughran wanted this chance in New York and he accepted. Despite the cold evening Loughran made a good fight of it and other offers came his way. Now with a chance to jump to the head of the big class Tommy offers his services, but it does not mean he will get it. The same g:up of managers who handled Jack Delaney, when the latter was light heavyweight champion are controlling Schmeling’s ring engage- ments. Loughran could not drag De- laney into a ring with him and it stands to reason that the Schmeling faction will not risk a boxing lesson at the hands of the smart Philadelphian.
