On tha other hand, there is more than one foot ball alumnus of Yale who has the feeling that, when ard if a successor to Dr. Stevens is being con- sidered, Friedman's qualifications should not. be overlocked. “If we cannot win with coaches who have played foot ball at Yale,” sald a Yale man, who won honors as an All- America, to the writer, “then let's go outside.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md., August 31— Mcunt Rainier'’s unlimited ball club no longer can boast an undefeated seascn’s record. After winning 15 games in a row the Mounts yesterday took it on the butfon, 6 to 15, at the hands of the formidable Skinker Eagles cf Washing- ton, on the District Line Fie'd. Mount Raini>r g:zined a 3-1 lead in the first two innings, but the Eagles locsed a bombardment in the third to score eight runs and blast Reid from the mound. McMahon, who replaced Reld, also was hit briskly. Both pitchers ware given wobbly support. Bud Bellman, hard-hitting outfielder of the Mounts, probably will again don tennis shoes when his team plays its next game. Some time ago when his hitting fell off he started wearing sneal ers in place of spiked shoss and prom ly began socking the ball hard. Yester- day, however, he discarded the tennis shoes and once more immediately lost his batting eye. Several times he failed to connect with men cn bases. Bobby Pool, former lacrosse star of St. John's d now a member of the Cornwall League team of Canada, is the highest salaried player in the profes. sional circuit.

EW YORK, August 31.—That | N heavyweight tangle which | has been through rain, wind and. storm recently | will try to emerge into the open | this wek and settle a couple off its major puzzles. This evening | boxer to make | at Ebbetts Field Victorio Campolo, lanky entry from the Argentine,| will have it out with Ernie Schaaf | of Boston over the 12-round| route, while the fare at the| Queensboro Stadium Tuesday | between Charley Retzlaff, one of | the brighter of the recent start- | League flag. | ers, and Joe Sekyra, veteran glove lw? swinger from Dayton, Ohio. | For the last couple of years there has been much speculation over Campolo’s proper spot in the heavyweight firma- similar doubt arise abzut Schaaf, while elapsed since the fistic followers here- | abouts began arguing over the rating | which should be accorded to Retzlaff, | All these questions should be decided this week, with a fair nod from the weathermsan as a mcst necessary ges- ture, and thus take a few kinks out of the heavyweight tangle. Of these three fighters, Campolo real- | ly has ths most at stake. For him defeat wifi mean little more than a r2ther inglorious trip back to South rica. He has been around too long ‘hout getting any place in particular S. (O to allow & defeat by Schaaf to stamp him as anything but a failure as & major attraction and a champlonship pnuflbllll¥. i Most of the ring critics attempting to diagncse this match believe that if Campolo wins he must do it in the first four rounds. After that they figure that he will flouhder around and prove an m‘f target foi the more youthful, faster and more graceful Schaaf. In the match Tuesday night only Retzlaff figures in the question- to be solved, for Sekyra in this E‘rtlcull! engagement is purely a trial hosse. If he wins he will collect little glory, for in that case it will be said that Retzlaff simply was not as good as most im- agined. His spot is not an enviable one. The best he can get is a short new lease on life and a few bouts with other young comers, who will be eager to see if they can beat the man who whipped Retzlaff. The possibility of a Sekyra victory, however, is not regarded very seriously, although he may prove just the type of Retzlaff 1ook bad. Sekyra has done this to other prominent box- ers, notably Max Schmeling for & couple of rounds, but that was a couple of years ago. It all depends on just how much he has slipped. —_ DECIDE TITLE TODAY Nnvnl Hospital and G. P. 0. Nines Settle Government Crown. Naval Hospital and G. P.
