SPORTS. THE EVENING BSTAR, WASHINGTONE D. C,! gUgSDAY! JULY 65 1937. ] S8PORTS. A—15 ~ Outlook Drab as “White Hope”’ Search in Boxing —By JIM BERRYMAN. NO YOUNG HEAVIES ~ NEARLOUIS CLASS | Schmeling, Farr, Pastor Are| Only Boxers Acceptable as Challengers. BY SPARROW McGA are in store for young huskies who think they can fight good enough to stack up against Champion Joe Louis. At the present Wwriting there are but three white heavies considered capable of ex- tending or possibly defeating the De- troit Negro. Max Schmeling is first on the list; Tommy Farr is second by virtue of holding the British Em- pire crown, and our own Bob Pastor brings up the fag end of the small list. Schmeling and Farr are monkeying with the idea of fighting it out for the “world” title next August. They will make the idea stick on the other side of the big pond, but, when it comes to taking down the champion's share of the purse in fights in this country, neither the German nor Englishman will get far. Louis is the attraction and Mike Jacobs knows it. Any one willing to fight for the crown as held by Louis will have to be content with 121, per cent, gets ready to give him another call. New Class Is Forming. PASTOR is in a different category. The former N. Y. U. grid star earned - some measure of distinction by lasting 10 rounds with the Bomber. The local husky turned in a good job in whipping Bob Nestell, but the victory did not register much in the big cities of the East and Midwest, since Nestell can be classed only as & far-from-finished performer. Youthful candicates for the newly forming white hope class number Jimmy Adamick of Detroit, Max Roesch of Dallas, Ralph O'Dell of Bioux City, Towa, and a few others who have not as yet been properly ex- ploited in public print Adamick bears watching because of his punching power. Jack Kearns recently signed & contract to steer the young heavyweight along the hard path he and Jack Dempsey trod. If Kearns uses the same strategy and patience with Adamick that he did with Dempsey, there is a strong likeli- hood that Jimmy will be right up there with the best of them in two years. Roesch Bears Watching. L/IIKE CANTWELL is taking plenty time with O'Dell. The latter has been pitted against fourth raters for nearly six months and one would think Cantwell would now send him Rgainst some of the third raters which abound in the gyms around Chicago. The case of Roesch is different. The Raskin-handied heavy has been set in with boys of better than average ability. In one of the preliminaries of the Braddock-Louis battle, Roesch was pitted against Steve Carr of Meriden. Conn., a veteran who has held his own with some of the best light-heavies and heavyweights in the Fast. Roesch had no trouble whipping Carr and tossed in a right-hand punch which forced Carr to do a somersault in the second round. He is a losse- limbed 6-foot giant hefting 190 pounds and bears watching. The search for a white hope is on. but, with the exception of the veterans named in an earlier paragraph, one would be hard put to recall a time when good heavyweights were so scarce. OLD POINT COMFORT IS HOST TO HILLTOP| Hoyas Will Hold Grid Practice | Out of Town for First Time Since 1931. 'OR the first time since 1931, Georgetown's foot ball team will be conditioned on an out-of-town field, the Hoya gridders this year being #cheduled to launch preliminary training at Old Point Comfort, Va., on September 7. A squad of approximately 50 men ts expected to report for more than | two weeks of intensive training in preparation for a schedule which finds the Hoyas meeting such crack teams as Holy Cross, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, N. Y. U. and Mary- fand. Georgetown will open its season on October 2 here against Shenandoah, eclosing November 20 against Mary- land at Griffith Stadium. The Mary- land game has been designated as the homecoming game for Georgetown slumni. Two to Tiger Junfors.

In the fourth Dean and Peters doubled for the Macks' first run. After that Linke breezed through four hitless innings and should have won the game in regulation innings except for some atrocious fielding by Fred Sington. With one down in the ninth Dean hit a line drive directly at Sington in right field. Fred failed to break on the ball, but, even 50, he should have caught it easily. It struck in his glove a foot above the ground and dropped out for what was called a double. Peters’ single, coming after Nelson went out for what should have been the third retirement, scored Dean with the tying run, and, two innings later, the umpires called the whole thing off on account of darkness. De Shong Wins No. 8. DE SHONG registered a 5-t0-3 vic- tory in the first game, leading all the way. His mates grabbed a 2-0 | lead against George Caster in the second inning and, after the A's had cut it down to 2-1 in the fourth, Wash- ington staged a three-run rally in the sixth. A run in the seventh and an- other in the eighth was the best the Macks could do by way of rebuttal. Joe Kuhel came out of the first fray with a bruised thumb and was | justly thankful of the rest which the | all-star game provides. He caught & line drive hit by Moses in the fifth the end of its flight, and toward the end of the game Kuhel hardly was able to grip a bat. Ossie Bluege played the second game in his place.

For the second straight year | in | domestic-built cars tried to challenge the supremacy of the European dare- | devils on the pretzel-shaped Roosevelt Speedway yesterday, but for the sec- ond time they were repulsed. Following up where Tazio Nuvolari of Italy started with last year's vie- tory, Bernd Rosemeyer of Germany came through with a thrilling triumph to win first prize of $20,000 before 70,~ 000 spectators. He streaked over the 300-mile distance in 3 hours and 38| minutes, or an average speed of 82.56 | miles per hour. Nuvolari’s time last| year was 69.998 miles per hour. Seaman Loses While Refueling. ROSEMEYER won after a spirited | battle with an English driver, | Richard Seaman, who stayed almost | on the Teuton's rear bumper until| right near the finish, when he was | forced to leave the track to refuel. The tough break left Seaman 51 sec- onds behind Rosemeyer at the finish. America’s Rex Mays rode a great| rebuilt car, Mays gave a great exhi- bition of driving and judgment. He | was 5 minutes and 21 seconds behind Seaman. Ernest Delius of Germany, piloting an Auto Union, finished fourth in 3:48.09, with Giuseppe Farina of Italy fifth in his Alfa Romeo at 3:51.29. Farina was relieved by Nuvolari, | whose car broke down on the sixteenth lap as he was in fifth place. | Except for Wild Bull Cummings, | hero of the Indianapolis Memorial day races, no one was injured.

BY BURTON HAWKINS. 8 A prelude to the rather ex- pert pitching expected to be unraveled tomorrow at Grif- fith Stadium. Bob Tow and Jorge Brescia, a pair of promising right-handers of current minor im- portance in the fistic realm, will collide tonight at the same spot in & 10-round bout. Tow, the Alexandria heavyweight who only a few months ago was re- garded as a broken promise, now is flickering at least locally by virtue of two successive kayo conquests and hopes to employ the swarthy Brescia as a stepping stone to national recog- nition. Hampered by injuries at eriticalj stages of his ring career, the former bus pilot has revived some measure of hope in his followers by planting au- thoritative right hands on the re- ceptive jaws of Eddie Mader and Sandy McDonald, but Brescia's chin is not exposed so frequently and needs more persuasion than the average | fighter's jaw. Floor Not Strange to Brescia. HE 22-year-old Brescia can be dropped, however, and that has been proved in at least two instances. Joe Louis, after several anxious mo- ments, smacked him sprawling and Harry Thomas duplicated that, al- though it was a bit on the flukey side, on the Louis-Braddock eard last month. ‘Thomas and Brescia, in that case, continued scrapping after the bell, with the South American winding up on the floor. Louis Soresi, Brescia's manager, refused to allow Jorge to answer the bell for the fourth round. feeling the referee should have | awarded the bout to Brescia. Since | it was Brescia who launched the un- | scheduled argument, however, the | arbiter ruled in Thomas' favor when | Jorge failed to hop off his stool. Brescia today ruled a 6-5 favorite among the gambling gentry, if that | means anything, largely by virtue of | his decision victory here over Marty Gallagher, who has trounced Tow in three of four encounters Tow, who was some 30 pounds heavier than Mader when they fought, is picking on a guy his own size in this scrap. Bob probably will balance the beam at 207, with Brescia hovering around 210 pounds. New Prelim Fighters. THE supporting card will feature new faces, but little else from the standpoint of appeal round semi-final, Vittorio Venturi, Italian welterweight, will clash with Sammy Meadows, who has been cam- paigning in New York with some success. Six-round bouts list Buddy Scott, Iocal light-heavyweight, facing Larry Shuck of New York: Murray Kanner, local heavyweight, meeting one Eddie Coderre of Rhode Island and Roy Bailey, Florida light-heavyweight, battling Mickey Flannagan of Pitts- burgh. George Abrams, local middleweight, and Joe Chaney of Baltimore will launch the larruping at 8:30 o'clock in a four-rounder. SPLIT TWIN BILL.

Agua Caliente, seeking publicity for its $100.000 handicap, cabled the owners an offer to ship for the race. The big horse, which later died of blood poisoning near San! Francisco, won the race very easil A year later it was said that the An tipodes had another wonder horse. He was shipped over together with his Jjockey and a gray plug for company. Columns were written about the wonder horse. Failing in California, he was shipped East. There was not a track in the country that was not bidding for the horse as an extra attraction The owners were prevailed upon to trv an Ameri- can jockey. They did, and he won one race. It looked as if he might be getting good. All the time there| was not a whisper about the stable companion. | Spring and Summer passed and one dark afternoon the gray ghost was entered in a cheap selling race at Laurel. He was bet on from Broad- way to China. None of the money got back to the machines. The price was & healthy one. Those that saw the race will remember the eight-length gap the gray streak opened up on the back stretch. He won galloping. The Australians collected and went home.

He did not care to take odds-on for his money. so be bet, in New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago, The morning line price was 1 to 2, There was no trouble in getting money down at that price. No one cared to send it back to the track. Just before the horses reached the barrier the Baran bet $2,000 on a 20- to-1 shot in the race. If memory serves correctly the pay off on his colt was $16.80, meaning 740 to 1, due to the manipulation of the odds by his wager on a “dead one.” There was a squawk trom coast to coast. The hand books yelled murder, The good Baron was suspended, though he had violated no racing rule. It seems the bookies refused to take more bets on horses at the Mexican track. The racing service decided to quit furnishing news, so the baron Wwas made the goat The Baron afterward was restored to good standing, but the bookies still remember him as the man who got 7 to 1 against a near certainty by throwing aw 2,000. At that it was “throw.” ;n P(;ll- (Continued From Page A-14) not an exhibition—it’s a real, sincers game. Joe McCarthy and Bill Terry both spent hours gathering all the best strength in their leagues in order to win the game. If I may say 50, I helped to set the tone of the “dream-game" idea back in 1933, when John McGraw, who had come out of retirement, led the National League in the inaugural event, Kept Stars on Bench. BEFORE the game I called our players together and said I was going to run the game just like any day in the pennant season: that if the starting line-up took a lead and held it. I would make no changes, except itchers. And I kept my word, even though it meant holding such stars as Jimmy Foxx, Tony Lazzeri. Bill Dickey, Wes Ferrell and Oral Hildebrand on the bench. You can't imagine what a respone- sibility a manager feels in an all-star game. After all, his line-up is sup- posed to represent the best in his league. Unlike the regular season—or even a world series game—he isn't supe posed to have a weakness anywhere, His strategy will be discussed by fans, players and brother managers. New Plan Fair to Managers. AND if, for instance, McCarthy and Terry are goinz to be open to criticism, why shouldn't they have the gay about the line-ups, so thdt they can give the fans the best pose sible combination? Terry. for instance, has announced he'll play a man out of position— Arky Vaughan, Pirates' shortstop, bes ing named to cover third. This probably wouldn't have hap- pened in a fan poll, but you can be sure Bill feels he's right or he wouldn't have risked it. In at le three games thus far fans, working under the handicap of making their choices early, men who shouldn't have been in there. Tomorrow’s squads, I believe, come pretty close to perfection, which will be reflected in a closely fought game. As I wrote before, the National League has great pitching But just as in 1933, when the team I directed won for the American League, I feel our team will do it again tomorrow.
