—2 BATE OF $200000 PAPECTED TONIGHT There Can Be No Foul and Boxers Must Wear Pro- tective Devices. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, July 17.—The purses of the fight faith- ful loosened today and piled up a pot of gold for Sammy Mandell and Young Al Singer to fight for tonight in the ring at the Yankee Stadium. Last- minute predictions were for a $200,000 gate. This will be Mandell's second defense of his lightweight title here in two years. Some money appeared in the marts of chance at odds of 2 to 1 on the sleek challenger. If the same odds prevail at ring time, Singer will be the shortest riced challenger since Pancho Villa ocked out the aged Jimmy Wilde for the fiyweight crown back in the days when fouls were something to be frowned upon. By special ruling of the New York Btate boxing solons, there can be no foul tonight. Both the champion and the challenger have agreed to equip themselves with such protective devices as they consider will render them im- mune to low blows. If either winds up on the floor, he will have to look for sympathy in the voice of the referee tolling off the count of 10. Shift Hard to Understand. The shift in the tide toward Singer appears unjustified by the past records of the gladiators, although it is gener- ally admitted that Mandell, after 11 years of warfare, has begun to show signs of wear. He reached his peak in -mpgt;u husky Jimmy McLarnin_in the Polo Grounds two years ago, but since then the clouting Celt twice has belabored the champion in overweight matches. Sammy had a desperate time out the decision over Tony Canzoneri in his last title defense in Chicago almost a year ago. The lncreuu;g years have -added to the difficulty Mandell always experi- enced in making the class limit of 135 pounds. Singer, a genuine lightweight, has had no_trouble holding his full strength at 134 pounds. The chances are that Sammy will re- tire tonight if Singer chases him into the shadows. A careful champion, | Mandell has piled up a fortune of about $250,000, although he has defended his crown_only three times since winning it in 1926 from Rocky Kansas in Chi- cago. Sammy has kept himself busy in the overweight and no-decision dis- tricts. The swing to Singer is a swing to youth. ‘The pride of the Bronx is still a shade under 21 and the zest that comes with his years is offset by lack of xperience against & boxing master of | Mandell's type. ‘The youngster has| |shown a tendency to toss aside his| | speed, boxing ability and punching | | power in favor of a wild and irregular | | attack in moments of stress. He has| { been boxing only three years, hardly | | long enough to weld his abilities into an | | even-geared attack, directed by a mind | |that can't be flustered. Singer Highly Popular. Singer has been carefully nursed into the challenging role, due to his great popularity with the rank and file of the faithful. He has beaten several good men, including Bud Taylor, but a knock- out by Ignacio Fernandez, a decision lost to Kid Chocolate and a charity draw with Tony Canzoneri stand against him in_the record bcoks. Against the masterful Mandell, who made a show of McLarnin in the Polo Grounds, he would hardly be accorded a chance to win. Second in interest to the title fight is the first appearance in the United States of Justo Suarez, South American lightweight champion, whose popularity in Argentine brought about record- breaking gates. Suarez meets Joe Glick in the 10-round semi-final. PHILLIES DROP SPEECE. PHILADELPHIA, July 17 (#).—The Philadelphia Nationals have given Pitcher Byron Speece his unconditional release. Speece was drafted from In- dianapolis. CHILE WINS AT SOCCER.

The bout originally was scheduled for Louisville, Ky., but was canceled. It then was moved to Omaha, where it twice was postponed. Carnera will weigh 263 pounds, an advantage of 45 pounds over Wright. According to Leon See, Carnera’s Eu- ropean manager, this will be Primo’s last fight in the United States, on the present tour. MASTRO_AND LA BARBA WILL FIGHT IN AUGUST By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 17.—Earl Mastro, Chicago featherweight contender, and Fidel La Barba of Los Angeles 'have been signed for a 10-round fight dur- ing the first week in August, but the Chicago Stadium will not stage the show. The stadium corporation apparently had the fight, a great natural for Chi- cago, all sewed up, but Sammy Wolff, whose debut as a promoter was an- nounced last week, reached in and snared the attraction. It is planned to present the offering in one of the major league base ball parks. Salier_ll F acu‘ 47’:;‘ Mandell-Singer Fight By the Assoclated Press.

DALLAS ACTS TONIGHT ON ALEXANDER'’S FATE DALLAS, Tex, July 17 (#).—Bob Tarleton, business manager of the Dal- {1as, Tex., League base ball club, said the fate of Grover Cleveland Alexander, veteran big league pitcher, who has | been placed on the suspended list for training rules violations. No definite action had been taken re- garding the disposition of “Old Pete.” He had asked to be reinstated and given another chance. Manager Jake Atz ap- peared favorably inclined toward grant- ing his wish. Waivers were asked for him, but no club put in a claim for him. 'SHAMROCK V IS DUE | LONDON, July 17—The present prospect is that the Shamrock V will be converted into an ocean craft and ready to start the crossing to the United States next Saturday. It was announced at Portsmouth that the work on the yacht was proceeding well and that the farewell ceremony had been set for Saturday morning. Sir Thomas Lipton is rapidly recov- is expected to attend the departure of his yacht. He will leave for America early in August. In an interview yes- terday Lipton discussed the prospects of the Shamrock. “Our biggest handicap won't be in the ocean crossing itself,” he said. “Our worst trouble is that we've had to interrupt her tuning-up to put her in ocean rig. Then when she reaches the other side she has to be put back in tune for racing. That may be a matter of & week or 10 days. “Yachts are as sensitive to tune as a fiddle. Although the places where the rigging was are all marked, so that we belleve we can put it back exactly, :{)ndmom are bound to lead to altera- ions. “The conditions are strange to us. Although we've never raced at Newport, we assume it will be better than at Sandy Hook.” The Shamrock will be accompanied on the ocean crossing by a steamship carrying jo equipment, which can give her a tow in case of prolonged calm. It is expected that the crossing will take about 30 days.

But the Browns have in Babe Clapper, erstwhile G. W. U. gridder, & moundsman who prom- ises to ill the southpaw's shoes. With Clapper and McIntyre sharing the mound burden, the Sleepers found little difficulty in annexing the first | half pennant of the Terminal League. Now, with Mclntyre gone, Clapper has pitched all but one game and has not been_defeated. A hefty individual, Babe appears well qualified to stand plenty of overwork, but since the. recent acquisition of Eddie Collifiower he will have a willing aide to share the slab duties. Despite the fact that both are right- handers, the Browns do not seem to be missing their former southpaw ace. Dlnéldi;l:llly‘ Pullman, hlxlo{m m“:‘; . C.

St. Mary’s Celtics and Southern Rall- way are fortunate in that both have good trainer. Harry Fiddesop, former Tech High conditioner, is the gentle- man. Never does a pitcher come to the bench after an inning ef work that he doés not meet him with a sweater to protect his arm. Shades of Joe Sewell! Fee Colliere has compiled a most un- usual record this season. He has yet to| | strike out. Dutch Smithson, who runs neck and neck with Fee in runs scored, | batted in and batting average, has fan- ned only twice. Tke Dreifuss, who arrived late for yes- terday's game, but who drove over Southern Railway’s two runs, made two of the best catches seen on the sand- lots this year. Although he plays first base for the Celtics and pitches for Southern, Ike took care of center field yesterday—and ow! In the sixth inning he raced almost to the right-fleld foul line to rob is E. Stan Charlie Booker of what looked like a two-bagger. His catch of Clapper's “home-run” drive in the seventh, how= ever, was easily the high light of the game. With the ball traveling on a| line well over his head, Ikey imitated | Gallant Fox for about 30 yards, leaped high into the air and hung on to the ball with his gloved hand despite turn- | ing two somersaults, ‘Wes Conover, Southern manager, in- troduced a newcomer to Terminal League fans in Moe Mannix.

When | he reached second base he gave the tip-| off on what Mannix would throw. | At last the name of that voluble col- ored rooter whose “play-by-play” de- scription and inimitable wise cracks have set the Terminal fans roaring, has been found. He is. Johnny. (Shorty) ‘Todburn, fan extraordinary. Despite his lack of size, Shorty holds sway among the multitude of colored | fans who turn out daily.
