P EW LONDON, Conn., June 19.— Today, for the first time in years, the partisan and color- ful crowd that floods this little seafaring town on Harvard-Yale re- gatta days appeared assured of a thrill in the shape of a real boat race. Although Harvard hopes scared high over the prospects of its undefeated varsity crew, the only such college ag- gregation in the country, the Elis and —Jadmirers of Ed Leader, great Yale great advance through their dozen vic- tories in a row, it does seem the A's will have the inside track to the pen- nant so long as Grove and Earnshaw are in condition to pitch regularly and in the way they have pitched thus far, ot so pleasant for an ardent Wash- ington supporter to admit. But facts are facts. ‘The Nationals are as great as the Ath- letics afleld and hit better. But even | with hurling they have had from Fischer, Brown, Jones, Burke and the remainder of the mound staff, they are without the slab strength represented by Grove and Earnshaw, who have won more than 50 per cent of the world champions’ tussles this season. Be- tween them they have accounted for 22 of the Philadelphia wins. OW fortunate the Athletics have in not having had either of these two great pitchers out of commission for a prolonged period. Neither Grove nor Earnshaw in three seasons has been handicapped by a seirous hurt. It was superhurling by this pair that carried Connie Mack’s club to success in 1929 and 1930, and these two wonder moundsmen have given it a great start this year. Had either one been out of action for any length of time early this season, the Nationals today undoubtedly would be leading the procession. Should either Grove or Earnshaw socn crack under the strain of heavy toil or be seriously injured, it seems eertain the Nationals would leap to the front and remain there. Only in the box d behind the bat do the A’s look su- rior to the Nationals, .and %y look g:t!er behind the bat only n the remarkable Mickey Cochrane is on the job. Sinus trouble now has Cochrane on the side line, but despite the loss of this important member of their cast the Mackmen manage to carry on. ° But that great pitching strength could be lessened considerably by injury to either Grove or Earnshaw, while on the other hand, the National corps, with strength spread over a greater number of hurlers, would not be weakened so seriously should one suffer injury. 'HE Nationals are very much in this pennant race and, with ~reater re- serve strength, are in & splendid | position to take command should the Athletics slip ever so little. And slip the A's would—and not so little—should the fates rob them of Grove or EaIn- | featherweight shaw for any length of time. o it - | world, today was For the double-header with the In and tougher competition, The litle Tialian, making his first 4 wn, | major start since he was operated upon ers.

The opening clash between the rival freshman eights was set for 9 a.m., Eastern standard time, and the junior varsity eights were ordered to be at their stake boats a half hour later. The varsity event, because of tidal condi- tions, has been put off until 7 p.m, standard time. Yale opened the regatta with a loud bang last night, when its combination eight, made up of its three crews’ sub- stitutes, defeated a crew of Harvard spares by a length and a half. Matters were squared by the Harvard graduates’ eight, stroked by Jack Watts, which won a 2-length victory over a crew of former rival oarsmen, stroked by Woody 200 yards. HUNT, CORRI TO FACE IN BOXING FEATURE Heavyweights Down for 12 Rounds on the Opening Card of Midcity Arena. Babe Hunt and Pietro Corrl, heavy- weights, will clash in the 12-round bout that will feature the opening program of the new Midcity Arena near Laurel, Md., the night of Wednesday, July 1. Both are seasoned performers. Hunt battled Young Stribling to a draw in 1929 after winning one bout from. the Georgian on a foul. Corri also has ap- peared to advantage against Stribling. In a previous meeting Hunt won by decision in 10 rounds. The fight took Rllnce in March, 1930, at Birmingham, 2., Hunt, who weighs 195 and is 6 feet 4 inches, won 12 out of 19 fights last year, four by knockouts. Knute Hansen, Jimmy Braddock, Ernie Schaaf and Johnny Risko were among his victims. HARVARD, ARMY IN FINAL Crimson Beats Penn Military Four to Reach Title Round. ROCKAWAY HUNT CLUB, WOOD- MERE, N.

HICAGO, June 19.—The twenty- third running of the American Derby, Washington Park’s $50,000 prize for 3-year-olds, will have no championship bearing to- morrow, but it promises to be consid- erable of a horse race. With Twenty Grand out of it, A. C. Bostwick's Mate probably will be the favorite, but the rest of the field, which may number as many as 17, will come in for plenty of support. Mrs. Kath- erine Elkins Hitt's Sun Meadow yester- day ran a mile around two turms m 1:41% pulled up, and won a lot of fa- vorable comment. Knight's Call, Ladder and Lightning Bolt all have trained well and are fig- ured as possibilities. The rest of the prospective feld included Spanish Play, which has become the standard bearer for the West, No More, the Mongol, Os- wego, Boys Howdy, which won the Derby trial Tuesday: Scotland's Glory, Prince d'Amour, Pittsburgher, Hyman, Morpheus. Joey Bibb and Sunny Lassle. Hyman, Sunny Lassie and Scotland's Glory are doubtful starters, leaving 14 to go to the post if the track remains fast. After what happened in the Derby last year, when Reveille Boy popped in, paying $113.08 for $2 win tickets, the long shots are likely to get a big play. Col. Matt Winn expecis a crowd of 50,000 spectators if the weather is good, which would be the oiggsst attendance in the history of Chicago's oldest fea- ture event. e HYATTSVILLE NINE READY Pefter Will Face Chestertown in State Title Tilt Tomorrow.

SINGER STARS BACK UP FISTIC ROADWAY Former Lightweight Champion Has Easy”Time in Taking Measure of Massey. NEW YORK, June 19 (#).—Al Singer, stubborn little New York battler who held the world’s lightweight champion- started a comeback. He beat Lew Massey of Philadelphia in a 10-round scrap in the Madison Square Garden ring last night. way, winning 8 of the 10 rounds, and his reported “glass jaw” was nowhere in evidence as he took everything Massey had to offer without losing a stride. Sports After big Ed Brandt had held them helpless for six innings, they bunched a double and three bases on balls and two Boston errors to score four times in th‘ seventh. Then Chick Hafey came through with a homer in the eighth, and that was the ball game. It marked the fifth straight victory for the Cards since they took a series of lickings fiom the Braves out West. Giants Carry On. ‘The Giants, meantime, continued to win benind great pitching, but they couldn’t gain an inch on the flying lead- ers. Carl Hubbell gave them their sixth successive win at the expense of the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3 to 1, allowing only six hits and strizing out five. But for a pair of infield errors in the first in- ning the Giant southpaw would have scored a shutout. The Chicago Cubs lost ground when they could get no better than an even break in two bouts with the Brooklyn | Robins. Dazzy Vance was his old self in the first game as he turned back the Hornsby clan, 7 to 5. He struck out {11 of them, every man in the Chicago line-up succumbing at least once. Pat Malone took charge of things in the nightcap. letting the Robins down with five scattered hits and blanking them, 8 to 0. Hack Wilson belted his sev- | enth homer in the opener and Rogers Hornsby hit No. 9 in the second. American League Idles. Don Hurst’s big bat and the wildness of Cincinnati's pitchers were prime fac- tors in the Phillies’ 5-to-4 victory over Col. Dan Howley’s pupils. Hurst drove in four runs with a homer and single to tie the score. Four successive walks by three Cincinnati pitchers shoved the winning run across in the ninth. ‘The day’s festivities were confined to the National League as the four East- ern clubs of the American League trav- eled West. The Athletics were sched- uled to open today at Chicago, the Washington Senators at Cleveland, the Yankees at St. Louis and the Red Sox at Detroit.
