SPORTS. THE EVE G_STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, MONDAY, JULY 8, 1935, SPORTS. Cornell’s Athletic Troubles Financial : Max Wins Boul, but Loses Prestige —_— o BUDGET WILL RULE COMMITTEES ACTS Winning Coaches Like Wray and Moakley Offer Prob- lems as to Salaries. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, July 8—Will the N system of athletics at Cornell | | suffer a major or a minor blast? At this writing the only answer must be a doubtful shrug. In August the falling of coaches’ heads on the hills above Cayuga may be suggestive of some of the more vio- lent and sanguinary moments of the French Revolution. There may be successive splashes of major volume, as sport after sport is jettisoned into the lake, or maybe not. No one can say just now. A committee invested with supreme power to act now is at work upon the situation. Whether it will turn out to be a body of sappers and miners or a group bent upon remedy skillfully and mercifully applied remains to be seen. We shall know in August, when the committee’s report will be sub- mitted. Situation Is Complicated. WHILE thus engaged several in- teresting things which may com- plicate the committee’s work have occurred. Jim Wray, the rowing| coach, turned out an eight-oared crew which came within three-fifths of a second of victory at Poughkeepsie. With Cornell’s ancient aquatic pres- tige thus revived, no committee may with any assurance suggest to Wray that he quit his job or accept a radical cut in salary. And what shall be done about the veteran Jack Moakley, whose track and fleld team ranked with the best in the East—dual victories over Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania; second place in the heptagonal meet and | fourth in the I. C. A. A. A. A. games? It would be rather embarrassing to throw Jim Moakley out on his ear in view of his record in the past season— or to tamper with his remuneration. So with the coach of the champion- ship soccer team and the man who | did such signal work with the tennis | team. | Must Balance Budget. | WE GATHER that underneath all the problems confronting the | Cornell committee is the matter of | finance. One thing this body must | do, no matter whose head falls or | whose income is reduced, or what | sport is thrown overboard—the budget must be balanced. | How much would all sports now on | the calendar cost if retained?> How much ought productive sports to earn this year and next? With these esti- | mates in hand the committee will | begin to make its decisions. Senti- ment can have no place in the deliber- ations. Even the competence of a coach will not and cannot be permitted | to influence action, to sway judgment | 1n the face of economic considerations. | Conduct of athletics will also be | governed by financial wherewithal. Cornell would like to install some such system of government as Yale and | Princeton and Harvard have, but| money may not be available. So what eventually will be done absolutely is dependent upon the financial forecast | now being prepared. Cloth will be cut to measure. 20 Years Ago IN THE STAR. TH! rebuilding of the Washing- i ton team by next season, with eomparatively few of its present members remaining. is a move contemplated by Manager Griffith, who is so thoroughly convinced that his present line-up is not fit to battle as a factor in the American League that he does not hesitate to say so. Griffith de- clared that the team was too weak with the stick to be given serious consideration any longer and need- ed hitters and pitchers. The Nationals have played 11 games since they left home, and they have won only two. Hereafter Joe Engel will be used regularly, according to Manager Griffith. The youngster showed up better yesterday than any of the pitchers who have been used against Boston, and he seems at last to have acquired fair control. Entry blanks are being sent out for the annual 3-mile swimming race to be held from Chain Bridge to Aqueduct Bridge August 7. For the first time since the institution of the event it will take place under A. A A sanction. Boston and Brooklyn played 16 innings to a scoreless tie in a game called on account of dark- ness. Lefty Downey, pitching for Bu- reau, let the Library nine down without a hit and struck out 11 men in a Government League game. Downey has not been able to pitch much this season because of a bad arm, but it appears to have recovered. Bob Shawkey, recently sold by the Athletics to New York, pitched his first game in a Yankee uniform and was hit hard by his former teammates, losing in tne ninth in- ning, 6 to 5. IN CHESS BY FRANK G. WALKER. IJUNE 22 is the anniversary of the bith of Pau: Morphy, the immortal American player. At 20 Morphy won first prize in the first American chess congress, held In New York in 1857, outranking the German master, Louls Paulsen. He then visited Europe and defeated the masters there.

An organization meeting is called for Friday at 8 pm. at the home of Dr. M N. | Pope on the Lee Highway. opposite the | stone school house in Falls Church. Dog breeders, dog fanciers and dog | lovers of Northern Virginia are in-| vited to attend and become charter | members of the organization. | ORTHERN Virginia is soon to N have a first-class kennel club CH. STURDY MAX, the outstanding English setter, which was owned by the Sturdy Dog Food Co., and recently sold to Dwight W. Ellis, jr., of Springfield, Mass., leads the race for America’s national pure-bred dog championship. The A. K. C. is offering this year a special trophy to the American bred dog that wins best in his group the | greatest number of times. Prior to June 15, Max was six times best sporting dog and six times best in show—quite a record. Pekingese are the leading breed in winning group victories, 10 Pekes hav- riers are second with ®even m‘ and cocker spaniels, collies, chows and Doberman Pinschers are third DOG books, like other books, keep rolling off the presses in a steady stream. Unlike other books, many of them are available without cost. Two are offered by the Department of Ag- riculture. One is an illustrated pamphlet called Breeds of Dogs. This gives the origins and descriptions of the various breeds. The other is a mimeographed folder on “How to Feed | Your Dog.” The various manufacturers of dog on the care of dogs. Many of these are available, free, at the local pet stores and dog feed dealers. One of the newest booklets is that put out by William Cooper and Nephews, called Ten Tricks to Teach Your Dog. This book is easily under- stood, even by the proverbial child, who can, with its assistance, teach his dog to be a more interesting and in- telligent pal. EECH TREE FARMS KENNELS is discontinuing the breeding of Scottish terriers and is substituting Shetland sheepdogs for them. Their menagerie will consist of collies, Shetland sheepdogs and cairn ter- riers. A newcomer to local dog fanciers is W. A. Mcllwain of Charleston, S. C. Mcllwain has raised chows and Scotties for some years. At last Spring’s Charleston dog show he pro- duced the winning chow bitch and the winning Scotty dog puppy. He plans on concentrating on the Scottles from now on. 'VERY once in a while one hears of queer affinities in the animal world. Mrs. Herbert Lundien of Falls Church is responsible for this one. She claims to have owned a pig that was_especially attached to an old English sheepdog that she owned. The pig, whose name was Clover, followed the dog to the pasture every evening when the latter went for the cows. After some time the pig as- sumed this duty entirely, and drove CIRCLES Brooklynites to move the king, the local team would have the advantage of a pawn and the superior position. As the game was & friendly one, the local club allowed the Brooklyn club to change its move, rather than gain an advantage by a technicality. Wash- ington won one game and drew the other. The games were conducted here by Walker and Hanna. TBE following game was contested in Budapest Chess Club last April. The White Allles were Dr. Lasker and, St. Abonyl. The Black Allies were E.

MAVY kennels and dog owners dip their dogs weekly in some anti- | septic solution during the Summer. | Creolin is especially recommended for this. Dipping tends to discourage fleas and lice, keeps the skin in good condition and promotes the growth of a good coat. The method is to make up a solution of the proper strength, put it in a deep tub or keg and sub- merge the dog completely in it for an instant. Do not wipe him, but let him shake himself on a sunny lawn and allow the solution to dry on him. Do not get the solution too strong, as it may blister some tender-skinned dogs. THE Maryland Collie Club meets this afternoon at 2:15 at the home of Joseph B. Loeb, 5811 Park Heights, Baltimore, Md. THE suspension of McClure Halley from A. K. C. proceedings comes as a shock and surprise to all those who know how prominent has been his participation in doggy affairs. The | huge success of the Morris and Essex | show is largely attributable to Hal- ley’s efforts and his position as kennel man at Gerolda Farms. The dispute between the A. K. C. and Halley arose from the latter's| resentment of the fact that the A. K. C. revoked the license of McDerwent to judge Scotties two months after he had been advertised at great ex- pense as the Scottisn terrier judge at Morris and Essex. | While the A. K. C. has every right | to license or revoke the license of | anybody it pleases, Halley felt he should have been notified that such action was contemplaied before he advertised the man so widely for so important a& position m the biggest show in the country. . = STRONG ON COURTS.

Stanley Carley, John Friedman, Jim Louis Chevrolet Tests Sunoco Oil Car Designer Tells of Experi- ence with Lubricant During §,000-Mile. Run. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18.—In an interview here today, Louis Chevrolet, prominent automotive engineer and co-designer and builder of the first Chevrolet car, told of his interesting experiences in his 5,000-mile test run, which was just completed. “This run” Mr. Chevrolet said, s made primarily to show to skep: tical motorists the safety and dura- bility of light-weight motor oils and particularly Sunoco 20-W motor oil. “Through the co-operation of the engineers of the Sun Oil Company, I was able to make this test and be- lieve that it will, once and for all, si- lence all doubts regarding the secu- rity of this oil. Garage men and deal ers frequently judge an oil mostly on account of its ‘thickness,’ regardless of quality. This test has proven to me that an oil does not have to be thick to be good for lubrication and possess lasting qualities. This test also proved that the recommendation of car manufacturers to u -W oil for winter is the best contribution that has been made to winter lubrica- tion, because, undoubtedly, this ofl will help motors start much quicker| and still will give 100% lubrication, as well as long-lasting qualit! “My run was made between Novem- ber 6th and November 17th, during which I covered exactly five thousand, nine and six-tenths miles without adding one drop.of motor oil to t! five quarts which were put in the crankcase at the start of the run. H. Allen accompanied me as the offi- cial from the contest board of the American Automobile Association. “The oil remaining at the end of the run was in excellent condition, and there was enough left to give safe lubrication for several hundred. miles —The Post, Bridgeport, Conn. » Sports Program For D.

By the Associated Press. ERLIN, July 8.—Max Schme-! ling, the dark-visaged slugger of Germany, has added Pau- lino Uzcudun to his list of victims, but has lost prestige in the eyes of Nazi fistic followers. ‘The German battered the Spanish “| woodchopper around a Berlin ring for 12 rounds yesterday, bruised and cut his face, but failed to even knock him to his knees. Instead of crumpling, as enthusiastic Nazis thought he would, Uzcudun con- | tinually moved within the long arms of Schmeling and beited his body with short rights and lefts. Several times he drove the former champion into the ropes. Max Claims Foul. SCMING, who weighed 19215, against 203 for his opponent, claimed he had been struck a low blow in the sixth round that sapped his strength and decreased his effec- tiveness during the late rounds. The crowd of 65,000, including high Nazi officials, which had cheered lustily when Schmeling entered the ring, ac- corded him only mild applause as he left the ring after his uninspiring victory. Schmeling started off briskly and in the first two rounds continually scored with long range blows, while the Basque missed repeatedly.
