- Louis’ Might Questioned by Johnston : New Stars Will Brighten Wo HOLDS BRADDOCK WILL BEAT NEGRO Promoter Questions Cour- age of Fighters Bomber Has Conquered Lately. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, August 10—Still dazzled by the tan lightning of Joe Louis, the fight clans started drifting back to Broadway from Chicago yesterday with only one voice holding out against the greatness of the Negro warrior. It was the voice of the loser in the promotional war that has been pro- viding & bang-up semi-final to all the big heavyweight duels. It was the voice of James J Johnston, match- maker at Madison Square Garden, whose ace in this season's heavy- weight maneuvering, Max Baer, now | has moved over to the side of the enemy, Mike Jacobs and the Twen- tieth Century Sporting Club, for the privilege of sampling Louis’ leather next month. Signs Buddy Baer, Doyle. “I DON'T say he may not be a great fighter,” shrilled Johnston, lead- ing the clans home, “but he’s still got to do more than whip a panic- stricken Primo Carnera and a fright- ened-silly King Lavinsky for me be- fore I start bracketing him with Dempsey, Fitzsimmons, Jefferies and Corbett.” Jimmy returned with this opinion and little else. Whereas he went gaily forth on a sort of a motorman’s holi- day to see the big prize fight in Chi- | cago, planning on his return to wind up the last few details for a Max Baer- | Max Schmeling battle here in Septem- ber. he came back with a six-round match between Buddy Baer and Jack Doyle, the thumping thrush of Ireland. | With the Louis-Baer match waiting SPORTS.

MATHER Is the name most mentioned wher- | ever local tennis is being dis- cussed today and the Federal Eraployes' tournament is responsible for injecting this unheralded player into the limelight. Mather, who 24 hours ago would have been eligible for the unranked | players’ or the chiselers’ tournaments, might have a hard time gaining ad- mittance either today because he pro- vided the most distinct upset of the year yesterday when he defeated Ralph McElvenny, recently recognized as second best player in the city. “Red” was mnot without tennis fame—except in Washington. He used to captain the University of Texas team, was a Rhodes scholar, a member of the Oxford team and has played in Wimbledon and on the Riviera, McElvenny didn’'t need to be told that yesterday. He found out during the first set, which he lost, 9—7, that it wasn’t a “freshman” he was up against, and althcugh he squared the match with a 6—4 set, | succumbed to the “local” newcomer | in the finale, 6—3. “NIAC" wasn't the only favorite to i fall yesterday, being kept com- pany by Alan Staubley and Don Gar- | | ber, seeded 7 and 8, respectively. | | Staubley bowed to Charlie Heacock of | the Interior Department, and Garber | | was victimized by Ray Stocklinski. 1 Mather doesn't play in a quarter- final match today, although Stock- | linski meets the veteran, Dean Judd, and Tony Latona plays Alan Blade.

Predicts Braddock Victory. E REFUSED to discuss well-| grounded reports that when the time comes the Garden and the Twentieth Century Club gently will pool their interests for the sake of promoting next Summer a $1,000,000 heavyweight title Jimmy Braddock and Louis. The Gar- den has Braddock as completely tied up as Jacobs has Louis. “Furthermore,” said Johnston, “don’t be betting that Baer will fight Louis any more than you would that Schmeling will come over here. It's mighty mysterious the way Baer's sore hands healed overnight. If his hands weren't hurt against Braddock, then it was his courage that wasn't so good. And if his courage wasn't good against Braddock, he'll die just think- ing of Louis.” Johnston paused for one more pre- diction. “It's a long way off,” he said, “and maybe you're going to laugh, but listen to this—Braddock will beat Louis. Braddock will hit Louis. The rest of these guys are afraid t GEORGETOWN GIRLS INTERPOOL WINNERS Mary Liegus, Irma Ludwig Lead Squad to Decisive Victory in Playground Swim.

Therefore, after meeting Mary Cootes for the singles title at 2:30 this afternoon, she and Dorette will play their doubles ,semi-finals.

LEVELAND, August 10.—The final 36-hole clash for the women's Western golf cham- pionship, on tap today, found Marion Miley, youthful star from Lex- ington, Ky., pitted against Mrs. Philip T. Atwood, 22-year-old Chicago house- wife, at Westwood Country Club. The match had all the earmarks of a links classic. Both players are long drivers, careful putters and masters of the short iron game, and there was reason to believe the breaks of the game would be the chief factor in determining the winner. Miss Miley, present trans-Mississippi champion, and Mrs. Atwood, who is regarded as one of the Middle West's outstanding stylists, won their way through the semi-final matches yes- terday like a pair of champions. Miss Miley’s Rally Tells. RS. ATWOOD defeated Marian Leachman of Vallejo, Calif., 2 and 1, while Miss Miley vanquished Margaret Russell, an outstanding shot-maker from Detroit, 1 up in 19 holes. c ‘The Kentucky girl came from no- where to take her match. She was four down at the turn and was still two down with but three holes to play. It was a difficult position to be in but she gritted her teeth and made her shots stay even with par, to win the sixteenth, tie the seventeenth and | win the eighteenth, and thereby finish all even. On the eighteenth she got down in two putts from 40 feet, while Miss Russell needed three from 30 feet. | Miss Miley went boldly for the cup | | in her 40-footer, knowing she had to win the hole to stay in the play, and her putt overran the hole a dozen feet. | Miss Russell left herself an eight | footer and missed it after Miss Miley | ran down her 12-foot shot. Fine Chip Shot Decides Match. N THE nineteenth hole Miss Rus- | sell was ahead on the drive and | | brassie shots, and the match was de- cided on the iron shots to the green. | The Kentuckian put hers just over the | green, while Miss Russell shot behind !a mound. The Detroiter’s chip shot | then was short and she needed two putts for a six, while Miss Miley | chipped in two feet from the cup and | scored a five to win the match. The match between Mrs. Atwood and Miss Leachman was a see-saw | affair in the closing holes, with the Chicagoan winning on the sixteenth and seventeenth, the last with a birdie | deuce. | N . OWENS ON CARPET FOR HONORARIUN A. A. U. Investigates Daily Fee Given Athlete by ‘ State Legislature. By the Associated Press. LEVELAND, August 10.—Fleet- ‘ footed Jesse Owens, holder of several world fleld and track records, prepared today to “go on the carpet” before an A. A.| U. board and defend his amateur status. “Doggone it, something’s always wrong,” the famed Negro athlete from Ohio State University said last night | | when advised that the Northeastern | | Ohio Association of the American | Athletic Union wants to ask him some questions about the $3 a day pay he has been receiving as an honorary page of the Ohio House of Repre- sentatives. : Owens was a regular page while the Legislature was in session, and shortly before it adjourned the House voted 1 to make him an honorary page. After | auditor's office show, Owens received $159 between June 9 and July 31. “Why I wouldn't turn professiona! | Owens said last night and added an | expression of confidence that “every- | thing will turn out all right.” | Dan Ferris, national secretary- | treasurer of the A. A. U, suid in dis- the athlete’s standing as & non-profes- sional would be jeopardized “if Owens did no actual work” in the Ohio State Legislature and “if he was recelving money on the basis of his athletic achievements.” Ferris said, however, owens’ status would come first before the district A. A. U. organization and that the case woull reach national headquar- ters only in the event of an appeal. Later, L. N. Bloom, president of the District A. A. U. organization, said he would submit the matter to his ex- scutive committee possibly today or to- morrow. “Of course, Owens will be given a chance to present his side of the matter,” Bloom said. Larry Snyder, the athlete’s coach at Ohio State, came to the defense of Owens’ status with an assertion that “Jesse’s work for the Legislature has nothing to do with athletics.” “If the Ohio Legislature or the peo- ple of Ohio want to pay Jesse as an honorary page, whether he works or not, that is no concern of the A. A. U,” Snyder said. GRAYS WIN NIGHT TILT Score 11-2 Over Crawfords in Negro National League.

Only in the boys’ singles champion- ship, vacated by Hunt, was Los An- geles out of the picture. The two finalists were Isadore Bellis of Phil- adelphia, seeded No. 1, and Seymour Greenberg of Chicago. RIGGS has defeated Hunt in their six previous meetings this year gnd, naturally, ranked a favorite to repeat in his title bid today, but a great match was in prospect. During the week's meet, Hunt’s play has been the sensation of the tournament. Hunt entered the finals yesterday by soundly trouncing the tournament favorite, Robert Harman of Oakland, Calif., 6—4, 7—5. His hard smashes at the net and his steadiness gave him victory, which wasn't as close as the score indicated. Riggs won the :ight to meet his young rival in the finals by defeating Frank Guernsey of Or- lando, Fla., 6—3, 5—7, 6—0. Guern- sey rallied to take the second set, but wilted in the final PAIRID together, Riggs and Hunt advanced to the doubles finals by defeating Harman and Louis Bron- stein, San Diego, 6—4, 6—1.

Assigned by the association in 1933 to reorganize old minor league circuits end build up new ones, Carr reported great success. As contrasted with the | 22 minor circuits today, there were only a dozen operating in 1933, and | & number were on the verge of col-| lapse when Carr took up his work. All of the old leagues, Carr said, now are on a sound basis. Ten ad- ditional circuits were organized, three in 1933, four in 1934 and three—the Georgia-Florida, the “Kitty” and the Three-I Leagues—this year. During 1936, Carr asserted, the as- sociation plans further expansion of minor leagues. Five are contemplated, the Ohio State, the Northwestern, the Montana State, the Virginia and the New England circuits. These leagues now are functioning as independent units.
