Davis surely had a wicked inshoot and after the game 1 soaked my catching hand in hot salt water for hours. modern catcher's glove and I pad- ded up my fingerless mitt for the game, but not enough, it seemed Davis was six feet tall, and a black- smith, from St. Louis.” Ban was then in his fifteenth year and a freshman at Oberlin. Two years later he entered Marietta col- lege, the Alma Mater of Vice-Presi- dent Dawes. It was there that his real affection for the diamond developed and he said today that he had promised to go there for the dedication of the new athletic field this fall. “I played at second, besides catch- ing, at Marietta, but I remember best the dormitory windows I used to knock out with home runs. to my playing so I could never take my suit home to wash it. I remem- ber one game when I got razzed for being the only Marietta player in a dirty suit, but after I got a couple of long driv they forgot about the soiled uniform.” Johnson's first efforts at building up ball parks, he said, was at Mari- etta, where he headed the student build Marietta college's first diamond and grandstand. Johnson laughed as he recalled a story told him by the vice-president about that first ball park. “You are the only man who was ever able to talk my father out of h a donation,” Mr. Dawes told Johnson. . “My father subscribed ISIS(\‘ and no one else was ever able to win him over like that." RIVALS T0 BATTLE ON AMATELR CARD Joe Howard and Jack Kelly Headliners at Velodrome Hartford, July 26 — Joe Howard of Hartford and Jack Kelly of Waterbury are two of the keenest rivals in state amateur boxing | circles. Howard formerly owned the state middleweight title while Kelly fs the | present titleholder. They have met three times. Kelly was the victor | the first two bouts but three weeks ago at the Hartford velodrome How- ard gave things a vielous reverse English by kayoing the Brass City youngster, Wednesday night they will meet in the feature bout of the Massa soit A. C. show at the Hartford velodrome and the fur is sure to fly. Kelly insists he was not thinking of the fight when Howard knocked him cut, but was concerned chiefly about Lis younger brother, who, earlier in the night, had been knocked out for several minutes by Joe Bard. The Brass City youngster says he will knock out Howard this time. Other bouts on this card promise to make it the banner amateur show | of the season. “Plnkey” Kaufman will meet Joe McCarthy of New Ha- ven; Joe Bard of Hartford will clash with Lucien Lariviere of Waterbury and Bill Taylor of Hartford, former Hartford High star athlete, will take on Paul Terzo of Hartford in three | bouts that should furnish a world | action. There will be at least a dozen bouts with the first set for $:15. Ladies will be admitted free. There are some 40 entries. | Tasillo's band will give a concert before bouts and will play intervals between the bouts. HAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS (Including Games of July 26) National Batting — P.

LOVISIANNA WHAT JJONES DID ROR GECRGIA. - (BY NEA SERVICE) New Orleans, La., July 27.—Upon the head of a 15-year-old golfer rests the champlonship of this state. The “kid” is Edwin McClure of Shreveport, who won his laurels by defeating, among others, the nation- ally known Fred Lamprecht, twice winner of the national intercollegiate championship. Louisiana golfers, remembering how Atlanta and Georgia went wild over Bobby Jones when that great golfer was a mere youngster, are not claiming a similar career for their youngster. They do predict, however, that McClure has the possibilities of fol- lowing in Jones’ footsteps to a great extent. They are sane enough to know that golfers of the Bobby Jones type are few and far between. This McClure is like another great Golfer, Harry Cooper, in many re- spects. He's cocky and a chance- taker, and don't mind the world knowing he thinks he's pretty good! He never worries. He never knows when he is beaten, He plays his best at all times, regardless of whether he is up or down in a match. Natural ability he has, and plenty of it. The new champion had his first real tournament experience in 1926 when he qualified in the state meet with an 80. He didn't get far in that meet, Josing out to Reuben G. Bush III. one of the greats in southern golf, in the second round of match play. This year the same two players met in the same round that they had the year previous, and McClure won and went on to the champion- ship after beating Lamprecht, the titleholder. The kid has been playing golf for five years. N. W. McClure, his dad, used to take him and his brother James to the club regularly and bought them a set of clubs to while away their time while he was out on the links. Neither Edwin nor James wasted their time. They were learning to play golf. Pros at the country club, |and there were several of them in those flve years, took an interest in the lads {n short trousers and taught them the finer points of the game. When Edwin was 13 he broke 90 for the first time. He also was | runner-up in the junior club cham- pionship that year, losing out to his | brother in the finals. He didn’t break 80 until after he | had taken part in his first state | tournament. But since then break- ing 80 i t one of those things he does every time he plays. | You never can tell how these boy wonders will turn out but McClure seems to have all the essentials to | become a ional figure in golf. They believe in him in Shreveport— they gave him a testimonial dinner after he had won the state cham- | pionship, and they're encouraging him to go on in golf to bigger and Detter things, like Bobby Jones dia, you never can tell—the future ‘Ro).\n Jones may be Edwin McClure of Shreveport, La., present state | champion at the age of 15.

Cole 2nd and Molla Mallory Battles Helen Jacobs. Manchester, Mass., July 27 (®— Seeded players in the third annual Essex County club's invitation ten- nis tournament for women faced each other for the first time today with Miss Helen Wills, new British singles champion, aligned against Mrs. B. E. Cole 2nd, and Mrs. Mol- la Mallory, American titleholder, facing Helen Jacobs of California in two of the matches. The latter battle was expected to be the feature of the day. Miss Ja- cobs forces play throughout and while not the equal of the Ameri- can champion from the backcourt, she holds threat of trouble if she can bring her net play into action. Miss Wills has come through her early matches with little visible ef- fort and her play here has been adjudged the best of her career. It is expected that, barring the un- foreseen, she will meet Mrs., Mal- lory in the finals. OFFER FOR TITLE BOUT Los Angeles, July 17 (# — Dick Donald, who promoted the fight in which Ace Hudkins, of Nebraska, beat Sergeant Sammy Baker, of New York, here Monday night, an- nounced today he had offered Joe Dundee $40,000 to defend his wel- terweight title against Hudkins here, p \ LOVE This Sou | HoRE ME 5 |s AN QUTRAGE ! NOTHING WILL Come , ALONG To DISTURS <1 HEARD A MOLE™ Go PAST Tits MORNING, BUTAHE DION.T, SEELME SALE OF TCKETS Chicago Fans Think Champion- « ship Bout Is Settled Chicago, July 27 (Z»—One of the customary accompaniments of heavy- welght championsnlp boxing matches a ticket scandal, would be as novel to Chicago boxing fans as the cham- plonship fight, for neither has been on display here since boxing was legalized. ‘With the conference of Tex Rick- ard and Chicago officials set for to- morrow, much of the fight discus- sion here among those who assume that it is as good as settled, has raged around the ticket distribution. An $80,000 gate is the highest that has been attained here, even though titles in all the classes but heavy- weight have been at stake, the Dempsey- Tunney match promises a gate of more than $2,000,000. The Army-Navy football crowd of 110,000 at Soldier Field last fall was handled with barely a murmur of discontent concerning tickets. The South park board, controlling the stadium, handled those tickets direct and some similar arrangement has been advocated for the title match, should it come here. Jack Kearns, Dempsey's former manager, who renewed his threats of legal action against Dempsey here |1t the fight is awarded to Chicago, | expressed surprise today when Jim Mullen, the leading Chicago pro- moter, sulted, about match. Mullen declared he might have something to say if Rickard decided to bring the championship fight here. the Dempsey-Tunney said, moters were asked to live up to the law very strictly, there is no reason | why séme outsider should come in | here and violate the laws even if he {does have the right kind of political <backlng. Mullen referred to the provision in the Illinois boxing law which re- quires that promoters must be bona fide residents of two years' standing before they can obtain licenses. George F. Getz, millionaire coal man and head of Mayor Thompson's civic affairs committee, has an- nounced that he will take out the promoter's license himself for the title match. ROTARY LEAGUE Nathan Hale Team to Meet Smith and Y. M. O. A. Clashes With ‘Washington Crew. Two games are scheduled this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Boys’ Rotary baseball league at *Valnut Hill park. The Nathan Hale team meets Smith on Diamond No. 1and the Y. M. C. A. clashes with the Washington team on Diamond No. 2. Nathan Hale is out to beat the south end team in today's contest. Followers of the team see a possi- Dbility that the crew will come through to make a great battle for the pennant this year and the players on the team are anxious to score a list of unbroken wins. ‘The Washington team, champlon outfit-of the league last year, after suffering an unexpected metback last week, is ready to battle for a win today and it plans to make the “Y" team suffer because of this feeling. The “Y" crew, however, is all set for a hardabattle and there should be plenty of excitement dur- ing the game. 2 TO MEET LANDERS ‘The Berlin Construction baseball team will play the Landers team of the Industrial league tomorrow night at Willow Brook park.

The Faf- nir team was dumped out in the cold by the Stanley Rule team in thelr clash on the first diamond. The win of the Landers team makes a triple tie for first place a possibility as the Stanley Works team is just behind the Corbin crew in the stand- ing. 6 Landers Win Game The Landers ¥rary & Clark base- ball team nosed out the New Brit- | ain Machine team 8 to 7 on Dia- mond No. 2 last night in one of the hardest-fought games seen in the Industrial League this year. It was an uphill battle for Landers and it was only In the seventh inning that the Universals were able to tie the score and go into the lead. The Newmatics scored one in the last of | the ninth but with two men on, could not produce the necessary vnnch to bring in the tying counter and the game went to Landers. Preisser started on the mound for the winners but he had a night- mare for a time while in there. An error and four solid snracks, one a double, brought in four runs and gave the Newmatics a big margin to work on. Chant relieved him in the second inning and allowed only four hits for the rest of the game. Three runs were scored off him. Erny Anderson pitched an air- tight game until the sixth inning. He held the Universals hitless until this frame but when the winners started to crash them out, they did it in earnest. A total of 10 tafe bingles was registered in the four remaining innings off Anderson's delivery. Bucherl fumbled a hard grounder by Krause to start thé first inning after Landers had been retired in order. Smith crashed a single to center. Eric Anderson followed with with a single to left. Argosy singled into right and Mainello hit over the tennis courts. The Newmatics were in the lead 4 to 0. Landers got on back in the sec- ond inning. Vincent walked and stole second. He went to third when Krause booted Darrow’s roller. He scored on an infield out. o The Newmatics increased their lead by two in the fourth. Haines, lead-off man, crashed a double into the tennis courts in deep left. Erny Anderson lined a hit into right field that went for a double. Eric An- derson's single brought his name- sake in with the second run of the frame giving the Newmatics a good- sized 1ead 6 to 1. Nothing happened in the fifth but the seventh dawned with Anderson still flinging them over in good form. Chant started the rally with a single just inside the third base bag. Hillstrand flied out to left. Goeb landed a single through short and third and Chant pulled up at second. Charlow lined a single into center and Chant scored. Vincent doubled into the tennis courts in left field. Darrow cleaned the sacks with a triple irto right, making the score 6 to 6 still in favor of the Wonder What an Angleworm Thinks About S IWELL HERE | Am (v AN OLD TIN CAN WITH SotL' W T, I'M A PRISONER ALONG.

Goeb lined a deuble into left scoring Hillstrand but Goeb was caught at third trying to stretch the hit, Charlow got o life when Ference dropped his high fly in right field. He got around to third but was caught at the plate on an attempted steal. Pattison drcpped Hillstrand's Zly in left in the first of the ninth to put one man on, Charlow singled to right and Hillstrand went for third. Ference threw wildly to catch him and he scored. The Newmatics staged a spirited rally in the Iast half of the ninth. Erny Anderson was safe when Vin- cent fumbled his grounder to short. Krause was hit by a pitched ball. Eric Anderson lined a double just inside the first base bag and Enry scored with Krouse stopping at third. Argosy ended the inning when Darrow threw him out at first. Mickey Bugkeri was forced to re- tire in the fdurth inning when he was struck in the eye by a ball that took a bad hop. His optic was badly swollen. Nester featured on the de- fense with two beautiful stops at third base of balls that seemed to be sure hits on which he got his man at first. Eric Anderson pulled the sensational catch of the day when he stabbed a fly one hand after a hard run. Darrow played nicely at second.

This loss practically eliminates the Bear- ing Makers from competition for the pennant. The score of the game was § to 6. Ritner, veteran performer on the mound, essayed the pitching role vesterday and he allowed only six well-scattered hits while the Rulers were bunching their bingles off Bill Ferguson. Straightway in the opening frame the Rulers stepped out and scored a run on two hits and an error. In the second frame they scored four more on five hits, a wild pitch and an error.
