“KID KAPLAN NOT TO FIGHT JUNE 15—BUSY WEEK-END PLANNED AT SE OF YANKEES—BERG SUFFERS BROKEN ANKLE IN GAME—CORBIN WHITE SOX THREATENING LEAD OF NEW YORK CLUB Chicago Team Downs St. Louis Browns by a 4 to 1 Score —Thomas Allows Only Three Hits and Just Misses a Shutout—Senators Down Yankees, 3 to 2—Ruth and Gehrig Hit Homers — Cleveland and Detroit Break Even In Twin Bill—Pirates Beat Reds, By the Assoclated Press. 3 Defying the experts who consign- | ed them to the second division at| the start of the season, the Chicago White Sox not only had a tighter| hold on second place in the Amerl- | can league today but actually were threatening the lead of the pace setting Yanks. The three-hit victory pitched by the White Sox' hurling ace, Alphonse against the St. Louis Browns yesterday went down in the | records as one of the finest pitching | exhibitions seen in either league this | vear and gave the critics one good reason why the Sox are up where | they are. | Of the White Sox’ 20 victories this vear, Thomas has pitched seven, los- ing only two games. Browns, 4 to 1, and came within an ace of a shutout. Up to the ninth when the Browns made their single run, Thomas had pitched 25 score- less innings. At the same time the Sox were | winning the Yankees were losing to | the Senators, 3 to 2, emabling the| Chicago club to cut down the New | Yorkers' long lead to less than 100 percentage points. Both of the New York runs were scored on homers by “the home run | twing,” Ruth and Lou Gehrig and | both came in the first inning. The third man up, Ruth, smacked one into the center fleld bleachers for his eleventh circuit wallop of the! scason and Gehrig who followed him knocked another new ball over the| right field fence for his tenth, but| that was about all the heavy hitting there was in Yankee bats that day A double header between Cleve- land and Detroit gave those two members of the second division an even break. The Indians taking the | first, 9 to 4, and the Tigers the sec- ond, 7 to 5. In the National league the Pitts- burgh Pirates (tightened their hold | on first place by walloping three Cin- | cinnati Red “pitchers for an § to 5| victory, while the Phils renewed thelr effort to climb out of the sec- ond division by beating the Brooklyn Robins, 7 to 1. in revenge for a 20| to 4 walloping the Robins inflicted | on them the day before.

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team of this city will open up the season in the Central Connecticut Baseball League Sunday afternoon by meet- |ing the Petxo team of Southington at the Sand Hill grounds in that town. The Sox are in iine shape at present and should scorc a win in the first league contest, The Southington team has a likely ,|looking bunch of candidates seeking herths on the squad and th Britain team will have to travel at top speed to win. The Sox will be without the nr\'-l ice of Berg, who suffered a broken ankle last Sunday, and Buckland, southpaw, will probably fling them over in the season’s opener.

Laade o adid STANFORD HAS CRACK TRACK TEAM KAP, (BY BOB MATHERNE) ' Stanford seems set as never be- fore to carry off national honors at the I. C. 4-A meet at Philadelphia | late this month. The team, on its| season’s record. should compile 36 points, easily enough to win the | megt. ‘ e Cardinals will be represented | by one of the strongest all-around outfits ever assembled, an outfit the | chiet strength of which will be in the fleld events. Not that the Cards have not ample performers on the track. They have. | But “Dink” Templeton, successful | young coach, has learned, In his| many trips to the east, that sterlinx | fleld performers are more likely to | perform according to past dope after a long train ride than runners are. Templeton, however, will not| leave any of his good runners at| home. They will be along, but he ex- pects to grab off many points with “Biff” Hoffman in the shot and dls- | cus, Tom Joaquin {n the javelin, | Bob Kink and Tom Work in the high jump, Fred Zombro in the | broad jump and Ward Edmond in| the pole vault. | Hoffman, who happens to be the same Hoffman that fullback for Pop Warner's eleven last fall, is the ace of the ficld men. He trimmed Elmer Gerlien of California, who had beat- en him in 1926 in the ‘discus and the shot, in their meet this vear. Tommy Joaquin_ is the hoy with the jgvelin. Ted Shipkey and Bob Sparling are two other good men in this event, the trio easily erages around 190 feet, but Joaqfiin is the | most consistent, He has done 20 fect this year. “Cocky Bob" King. so tarmed he- cause of the nonchalant manner he | skims over the bar, is out to break | Harold Osborne’s mark of feet, | cight and one quanter inches. King | has missed doing mo by two inches| this scason and Templetori thinks he | can break it. Zombro s going to be among the point-getters in the broad jump and soph. will get ound thirteen fect in the poie | cnough t6 win at Philadelphia. That's the field outfit Templeton The track members of the squad include “Bud” Spencer, a’ po- tential record-maker in the 440. cock, Nichols and Ranncy. Alfo- gether a group capable of making a few points, Knowing how these men can per- | form, it is easy to realize why the young Stanford coach and the Stan- ford supporters are hailing this as a Stanford year. Tt looks that way.

TONNEY T0 TRAI FOR JAGK SHARKEY in Batle With Jim Maloney | | New York, May 24 U — Having | seen Juck Sharkey in action against Jimmy Maloney, Gene Tunney has come to the conclusion it is about time he hegan to train for that heavyweight title bout in September against the winner of a Sharkey- Dempsey match, “Sharkey is as good a fighter as 1 ever saw,” said the champion as he made arrangements to leave New York the end of this week for the tiny lakeside hamlet of Speculator, N.'Y,, in the Adirondacks whero he trained for his title fight with Demp- sey. arkey has everythin declared. “I was astonished when I saw him last Friday night.: A fighter would not be able to fay back in fighting Sharkéy. He is fast and clever cnough boxer to outpoint an opponent, and yet it a boxer should lay back and try to outpoint him there would be th constant threat of his right hand “I think Sharkey Is immeasurably smarter than Dempsey,” the, cham- pion went on in answer to a ques: tion. “He is a better boxer and is faster although perhaps not so hard a hitter. The two men have differ- Sharkey stalks his eppon- ent, waiting for him to come on, Tunney at first intended to start training at Saratoga, but found he could make no arrangements there without consenting to charge admis- sion to his- training lons.

ED ANDERSON TUPS FORMER CHAMPION Former Bowling Title Holder Beats Present Crown Boarer In the battle of bowling cham- pions staged last night at Rogers Recreation alleys in this city, Eddie Anderson, former titleholder, show- ed marked superority over Barbour of Waterbury, last year's king, by taking six out of the nine games played. It was a state league match wifh the local bowler being in fine trim during the evening. Both started off at a terrifis clip, catching spares and strikes in regu- lar order with the two balls allowed ch one. Anderson topped Bar- bour in the first clash 123 to 117. The second game resulted {n an even closer margin for Anderson, 108 to 107. The third game saw Babrour falling down while Anderson was hitting high single for the night. Andy hit 157 to Barbour's 100. An- derson came right back to hit 142 in the fourth game while Barbour barely made 106. The two men showed the strain in the next frame but still Anderson scored enough to win despite the fact that he went under 100. He hit 93 but Barbour ran into tough sledding and his mark was 77, Fired by the poor showing and des- perate because Anderson already had the match, the Waterbury boy hit the pins carefully and won his first game 129 to 106. However, his lead was shortlived because he drop- ped down below 100 again and al- lowed Anderson who was meeting tough going to win again by one pin, this time the scores being 93 and 92. Barbour hit 136 in the eighth game, to win over Anderson's 11% and the final game saw last year's champion hitting 106 to Anderson’s 93. Anderson’s average for the night was 114.7 while Barbour's was 106.4. Anderson won on total by a score of 1,033 to Barbour's 958. The scores of the match were as follows: Barbour—117, 107, 100, 105, 77, 129, 92, 125, 106—858. Anderson—122, 108, 157, 142, 93, 106, 93, 118, 93—1,038.

Kaplan has not fought since May 9, when he punched his way to a decisive victory over Al Foreman at ‘Philadelphia. . It was thought Gibson would send him to the bar- rier at least once before his import- ant test with Fields, but Billy is evidently wary of courting disaster in the form of an injured hand. A great deal depends upon the outcome of Kaplan's bout with the ‘west coast star, who outpointed 8am- my Mandell a few weeks ago. If victorious over Fields, Kaplan may take Fields' place against 8id Terris July 13 at the QueensBoro stadium, and & lightweight championship battle would almost certainly follow & Kaplan victory over Terris.
