s - Move to JACOBS IS CERTAIN ALL WILL BE OKAY Braddock, Witness of Max’s Triumph, Says German ls Target for Left Jah. BY ALAN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, June 20.—Max Schmeling and James J. Brad- dock, who have now combined to spill more fistic dope than any other brace of boxers in heavy- ‘weight history, will fight for the world championship in a long-shot play-off this September at Yankee Stadium. There are a flock of argements to be waged, contracts to untangle and differences to smooth out between rival promoting interests, but Mike Jacobs, representing the 20th Cen- tury Sporting Club, declared today he expected to reach an agreement with all concerned and conduct the match. Jacobs already signed agreement a precaution he took- despite the solemn assurances of all within ear- shot that it was just a fancy gesture and wouldn't mean a thing after Joe Louis finished operating on the German veteran. Braddock is under contract with Madison Square Garden for the first defense of the title he won from Max Baer a year ago. The Garden has until August 1 to name the challenger, but Schmeling automatically became the No. 1 contender by his 12-round knockout of the erstwhile Brown Bomber. Their Comebacks Parallel. It's now up to Jacobs and the Gar- den to get together. The betting on Broadway today was odds-on that the hatchet quickly will be buried, in the vicinity of Forty-ninth street, and that the two Cinderella men of boxing will square off three months hence. It's one of the strangest turns in all sport; in fact, two complete somer- saults, that finds Braddock and Schmeling as top men in the heavy- weight fight industry—scarcely two years after each was rated just a “washed up” veteran, his future be- hind him and no place to go except oblivion, so far as the ring was con- cerned. Turn back the pages to 1934. Schmel- ing by then had profited handsomely from the ring, married the beautiful Anny Ondra, film star, and returned has Schmeling's for a title bout, was struggling to get preliminary fights so that he could earn enough money to keep his family from actual starvation. Beyond this contrast, how- ever, they were in the same bracket so far as the fight critics were con- cerned. Schmeling had been knocked out by Max Baer, beaten badly by Steve Ha- mas, but he continued to fight at in- tervals in Europe. reasons, refused to concede the ver-| dict he was “through.” Perhaps the | one inspired the other, for it was fol- | Jowing Braddock’s surprising triumph over Baer for the title, just a year ago, that Schmeling took more inter- | est in a comeback himself. | Schmeling, for the asking, could | have had a title match with Braddock | this year without first encountering | Louis. Studled Louis' Style. i “I studied Louis carefully,” said Bchmeling today as he received con- gratulations from all over the world. “I found from the pictures that he | was easy to hit with a right hand. I| planned my whole campaign accord- ingly. Everything was concentrated in my right. I knew I would have to take punishment from his left, to have an opening for my right cross, but I won the way I figured. “Now I hope to beat Braddock and become the first man to regain the heavyweight championship. I don't under-estimate the champion. but I| believe I can hit him hard and often | enough to win.” | Braddock, meanwhile, saw his own judgment of Louis sustained. The | champion had insisted the Negro was | not a “super-fighter” such as his‘w sensational career indicated. The | Irishman, after viewing last night’s fight at close range, likewise paid his respects to Schmeling. “Max fought a good fight and won with surprising ease but a good left Jab can beat him,” said the champion. He didn’t say so, but he left the im- pression he felt fairly confident of his own left jab, the weapon that beat Max Baer. Louis’ Future Still Promising. Braddock and Schmeling hold the apotlight but Louis likely will punch his way back into it before another year rolls around. The Negro's me- teoric rise was checked abruptly, the myth of his invincibility blasted, but he isn’t through, not at the age of 22 and with as many fistic assets as he has developed in so short a career. It may be, as Mike Jacobs says, that the setback will make a better fighter out of the Negro boy, in the long run. Whether he was a victim of over-con- fidence, as well as Schmeling’s right- hand smashes, it is certain the entire Louis camp underestimated the Ger- man, along with most every one else. They have been fed on the super- fighter stuff for so long that perhaps they couldn't be blamed for believing 1t was true. ; Even in decisive defeat Louis an- swered the one question experts had asked oftenest: “Can he take it?” ‘The Negro took & terrific right-hand | ¢ pasting for the better part of 12 rounds but went down ony twice, in | the fourth for no count and in the Jast for “10,” He “took it,” all right, but Schmeling also took all his bombs away from him and left him seeming very much like a little brown boy who had lost his favorite toys and didn't know what to do about it. e Griffs’ Records BATTING. b.

Thus by tomorrow night finalists in all junior divisions will have been ascertained, leaving Monday and Tues- day for the championship matches. The boys’ singles section is even farther advanced, young Bob Kirk's upset of the first seeded player, Billy Zeller, leaving that hard-working kid in a position to meet either Leonard Sokol, seeded No. 2, or Tom Wadden, who were to play this morning. Kirk’s elimination of Zeller came after three hard sets, 6—0, 6—8, 6—3. Sokol and Wadden were tied at one set apiece when a slight case of lumbago forced Wadden to quit and the two agreed to replay the entire match. Play in the boys' doubles tourna- ment, the first of its kind here in recent years, will start Monday. Three of the junior players are deserving of special mention through their efforts yesterday, although one no longer is in the tournament. But those who watched Dewitt Smith beat John O'Malley and then give Ritz- enberg the hardest kind of a fight before bowing 6—4, 6—4, were con- vinced that that youngster has a bright future ahead.

Q., but Collect Few Wagers. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star LEVELAND, June 20.—Ben Chapman, newly acquired from the Yanks, and Walter Millies, a fugitive from the Brooklyn chain gang, stood out today as the Nationals' top-ranking boxing prognosticators. Both Chapman and Millies, waving fistfuls of dough, conducted a search among the Washington ball club for Joe Louis money last night. There was plenty of it, but Ben and Walter wanted odds and these were scant. So they contented themselves with calling Max Schmeling’s victory and smirking when the radio broadcast was over. YD COHEN, southpaw pitcher who joined the Nationals yesterday from Chattanooga, almost broke into the game immediately upon arrival. Cohen probably would have been used to relieve Pete Appleton in yes- terday's game with the Indians were it not for the fact that Chattanooga had pitched him seven innings the day before, displaying a fine lack of co- operation with the Washington club. lENRY COPPOLA, who was re- leased to Chattanooga earlier in the Spring by the Nationals, was a spectator at the game here yesterday. Coppola Cohen, but instead of hanging around, the stocky Italian hurler is going to join the Albany club of the Inter- national League. YOUNGSTERS ON €1 ectal Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 20.—Larruping Lou Gehrig, the New York Yankees iron-man first baseman, hit the ball at & .652 clip during the past week te outclass any other batter in base ball's big-time and move into the lead in the big-league hitting race. His feat of collecting 15 safe blows in 23 trips to the plate boosted his average 29 percentage points to .395, giving him not only the American League pace-setting position, but the edge in both loops. At the same time, Stu Martin, the St. Louis Cardinals’ clouting rookie, held onto the National League lead, but he lost 14 points, dropping to .377 by getting only 9 hits in 29 times up. Gehrig replaced Billy Sullivan of the Cleveland Indians in the American League lead, the Tribe's young catcher falling off sharply from .411 to .377 by hitting safely only 6 times out of 26. Stu Martin’s closest rival in the National League was still Johnny Moore of the Phillies, who, althougi oui all week with injuries, retained second place with .360.

Gomez, Yanks, Rally. BY SID FEDER, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. OSE base ball blues singers, who've been viewing with alarm the recent breaks against the St. Louis Cardinals as evi- dence of an impending blow-up are getting plenty of laughs along the base ball Rialto. Despite the Chicago Cubs’ current mad-dash winning streak and the re- cent injuries and form reversals to various members of the Cards’ line-up, that rollicking gas house gang isn't going to be blasted out of the National League leadership without a fight. The Cards came to New York yes- terday and Giants’ fans were hepped up plenty over the chances for & comeback against a club supposedly near a washout. And all the Cards did was pound five Giants pitchers dizzy and bury them under a 7-5 count, with Stu Martin and Ducky Medwick,’ neither of whom is finding difficulty keeping his bat swinging— and connecting—each smashing out a homer with two on to put the game on ice. Dizzy Dean chalked up his thirteenth victory of the season. Cards’ Lead Boosted. HE victory boosted the Cards’ league lead to two full games over the Cubs, who were rained out at Brooklyn, and to three games over the third-place Pirates, who found weather trouble at Philadelphia. The defeated Giants, meantime, found their first-dvision position en- dangered, as the climbing Cincinnati Reds trounced the Boston Bees, 8-4, tu move within & game and & half of fourth place. A return to winning form on the part of Lefty Gomez boosted the New York Yanks' American League lead to five games over the Boston Red Sox, as the revived “murderers’ row,” with Lou Gehrig again the chief can- nonader, battered the Tigers, 5-2. While the second-place Boston Red Sox were idle, along with the St. Louis Browns, the Chicago White Sox were sinking the Athletics, 5-4. were snapping Washington's three- game winning streak with a free- hitting 9-6 win.

BIG FIELDS LOOKING TOTARGET TOURNEY Eastern Small-Bore Association to Stage Rifle and Pistol Matches in July. THE rifie range of the Maryland Na- tional Guard at Cascade, Md., will be the scene of one of the year's most important rifle and pistol tournaments during the first four days of July when more than 400 shooters will gather to take part in the annual matches of the Eastern Small-Bore Association. By virtue of his dual position as ad- jutant general of the State of Mary- land and executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, Maj. Gen. M. A. Rackford of Baltimore was the choice to serve as chief executive officer of the matches. Most of the outstanding marksmen of the East already have ind!cn? their intentions of attending the 3 | matches. Therkild P. Samsoe, Perfh Amboy, N. J., the Nation’s outstanding small-bore rifie shooter for 1935, will attempt to repeat his tournament triumph for last year. In order to win he will be forced to defeat three other former champions, Thurman Randle, Dallas, Tex., 1934 winner; William B. ‘Woodring, Bethlehem, Pa., 1933 win- ner, and Wililam P. Schweitzer, Eliza- beth, N. J., champion of 1932. The West Virginia State police who 3 | scored the only runaway victory of the pistol matches last year will again send a full team to represent them against their shooting rivals from the New York State and Baltimore police forces. H. W. Amundson of Plain- field, N. J., who was the individual star of last year's matches, will also return to defend his laurels.

EW LONDQN, Conn., June 20. —Harvard won the big boat race with Yale, but looked to- day for a successor to the man who coached the Crimson’s victorious varsity eight, Charles Whiteside. Whiteside, head crew coach at Har- vard for the last seven seasons and one of the greatest stroke oars ever developed by the veteran Jim Ten Eyck at Syracuse University, hardly had time to congratulate his tri- umphant oarsmen last night when he was informed by Athletic Director Wil- liam J. Bingham that he would not be re-engaged. Harvard officials would not com- ment on Whiteside’s dismissal, but it is known that there has been much dissatisfaction among the rowing- minded alumni over his inability to develop a fair share of good sprinting crews. Coach Put on Spot. EVEN before the season opened, Whiteside realized he would be ousted if he failed to turn out a varsity that could beat Yale in the 4-mile classic here on the Thames. He di- rected all of his own and his oarsmen’s efforts to gain that objective and it is likely that his dismissal, which turned his greatest Harvard triumph to ashes, came as a rude shock. Bingham told him, as he and the oarsmen assembled for the traditional breaking training dinner at the Red ‘Top camp, that the decision to replace him was made weeks ago and that it would have to stand, whether the Har- vard varsity won or lost against Yale. Whiteside’s sweepers raced up stream faster than any Harvard crew in the history of this 74-year-old re- gatta and gained a 5'2-length victory over Ed Leader's first boat, which was hampered all season by injuries, sick- ness and scholastic failures. The triumphant Crimson Sweepers were timed in 20 minutes 19 seconds, only 43 seconds slower than the 1925 Yale varsity’s record run from the railroad bridge to Bartlett’'s Cove. Yale finished in 20:40% last night. Aide to Ten Eyck. WH!TESIDE. a native of Ely, Minn,, stroked Syracuse’s victorious varsity crew at Poughkeepsie in 1916. After serving as assistant to Ten Eyck at Syracuse, he replaced Ed Brown as Harvard’s head coach in 1930. Prominent among those considered likely to replace Whiteside is Russell (Rusty) Callow of Pennsylvania. Callow, who won a national reputation at the University of Washington, turned down a bid from the Crimson before Whiteside was engaged. Other names mentioned in the speculation today included Ky Ebright of Cali- fornia, Al Ulbrickson of Washington and Buck Walsh of the Navy. Harvard's freshmen also were vic- torious yesterday, but Yale'’s Jayvees, stroked by Jim Castle, demcted cap- tamn, scored over the Crimson junior varsity, with Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., rowing No. 6 for Harvard. G. P. 0. NINES CLIMB IN SANDLOT LEAGUES Feds Trim War Team, Printers Rout H. 0. L. C.—Bookoff Gets Three Safeties.

PPER MARLBORO, Md., June 20.—Frank Christmas, jr., 12- year-old son of the well- known Washington race horse | trainer, B. F. Christmas, was pain- fully injured here yesterday when a horse he was riding in a junior hunter | class of the Marlboro horse show turned over at a fence and rolled on him. Full extent of the boy’s injuries could not be determined pending X-rays today, but he was reported to be in serious condition at the home of a relative here, to which he was removed in an ambulance following the acci- dent. The mishap occurred while young Christmas was riding Mrs. J. M. Ladd's Jesta Gallop, which previously had won a saddle class open only to horses owned in Southern Maryland. Riders in the junior hunter event were re- quired to be under 16 years of age. Washington and Virginia-owned horses dominated the hunter tests dur- ing the opening session. Betty Cou- zens of Washington had a double win- {ner in Bean Beatle, which captured | the handy hunter and working hunter tests and took a third blue with Re- pulsion in the suitable class. Mar- ! garet Cotter, also of the Capital, won |the women's hunter division with Rocksié. U. 8. Randle’s Governor took the touch-and-out class and his Port | Arms was winner among the junior | | hunters. | | Mrs. D. N.

STAN, Btaft Correspondent of The Star tionals’ niftiest winning streak in a couple years had come to jinx town for Washington base ball entries, but Manager Bucky Harris' consideration. Ahead of the Griffs the road that viting showed up today as an obstacle~ cluttered path whose No. 1 hurdle was without the services of Capt. Budd Myer. For an indefinite period Myer velops, and Washington’s future seems to depend strictly on how long Ossie Buddy, who hasn’t been in a game since June 3, was sent home from ing of new pains in his stomach. For a couple of weeks it was expected that ment, He was carried on this West- ern invasion when his physician pre- saw the complications that apparently have set in. Hot Weather Threatens Bluege. THE Nationals’ showing this season isin the form of a great tribute to Harris, and all the men under him have plugged away to achieve third place. Never for a day did the Nationals have, in Myer, the crack sec- ond baseman who came up with a great year in 1935. Buddy did his best, of course, but from the start he was affected by a stomach malady that obviously is far from cured ‘The loss of a man who stood out as Washington's biggest and most impor= tant cog has been a tremendous blow. Bluege, veteran of 13 seasons in“a Washington uniform, has done his part nobly in Myer's place, but the ageing Ossie lacks the punch of Buddy and definitely is regarded as a ques- tion mark with the real hot weather Jjust ahead. Bluege stepped into M 0 June 3 and in the 14 ga that have ensued he has plaved as good a e as anybody on the club. He has pa- raded to the plate 51 times to score across seven runs for an average of .333. But just ahead lies a four-game invasjon of St. Louis, as well as a series in Chicago and, of course, the torrid July campaigning that marks a home stand in the Capital. r’s post on Appleton Fails in 9-6 Loss. F THERE was any use in crying over spilled milk you could carry on in« definitely bemoaning the loss of Myet and the lack of another pitcher. With Buddy and a hurler the Nationals not only would stack up as a certain third- place club, but might conceivably rise higher. However, no hurler is in sight and there is no {ellmsz now when Myer get back into the game. The Griffe will have to make the best of it and they got an inkling yesterday of how unlovely are their prospects. Having won three games in a row by pitching Earl Whitehill, Jimmy De Shong and Buck Newsom, Harris was forced tc rely on the inconsistent Pete Appleton and between solid Cleveland hittug and the flighty play of his own hire- lings Bucky saw the winning streal go blooey by a 9-6 count Appleton and Monte Weaver, who replaced him, gave up 13 hits. The Griffs pounded Thornton Lee, George Biaeholder, Willis Hudlin and Liloyd Brown for a dozen hits, but errors and a miscue in judgment by Third Base Coach Earl McNeely ruined the Hare rismen’s cause. Sorry Ending of Streak. PPLETON went into the sixth ine ning holding a 5-to-3 lead lost it when the Tribe came up w In the first half of sixth the Nationals scored three ru and it might have been 13 rui i1 McNeely hadn't been laboring undez the possible impression that Walter Millies was Ben Chapman and waved him home to be thrown out. This put- out took the sting out of the rally. Cleveland won it in the final three innings, partly due to timely hitting at Appleton’s expense and a costly wild throw by Clif Bolton. It was, briefly, a sorry ending for a winning streak that had given promise of growing ta plump proportions. GINO GARIBALDI SCORES.
