STANLEY WORKS AND LANDERS BASEBALL TEAMS TO MEET IN INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE TONIGHT—PROGRAM COMPLETED FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT FIELD DAY AT WILLOW BROOK PARK TOMORROW—BOTH YANKEES AND ATHLETICS LOSE—SPORTS WELCOME OF YANKEES IS WORN OUT IN THE WEST Champions Bow in 15-Inning Battle to Chicago White Sox—Athletics Lose to Detroit Tigers—Browns Triumph Over Boston Red Sox—Cleveland and Washington Divide Double Header—Phillies Sur- * prise Everybody by Sh By the Associated Presa Reciplents of western hospitallty for more than two years, Miller Hugging' punch-drunk Yankees rapidly are discovering that they'v worn out their welcome beyond the Alleghanies. The Yanks swept everything ing 32 of the 44 games they played in Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and | St. Louls. In 1926 they took 25 of | 47 games from the same teams, Cleveland being the only break better than even. The Indians | turned that particular trick not only | in 1926 but also last year. Early in the present campaign it looked like the west would offer even less resistance to the powerful attack of Murderer's Row, for the champlons won nine games in 13 on their first invasion of 1928. They're paying for that hospitali- ty now. When Willie Kamm socked a triple in the 15th inning at Chicago yesterday, scoring Bib Falk with the run that enabled the White Sox to trim the Yankces, 5 to 4, it marked the champions’ tenth reverse in 15 starts since they invaded the w for the second time on July 25. Fortunately enough for Huggins, the Phiadelphia Athletics, for some unknown reason, took it into their heads to lose to Detroit, 8 to 5, thus leaving the White Ele- phants three and a half games back of the Yankees in the duel for first place in the American league. Kamm's timely long distance clout brought well deserver triumph to Grady Adkins who relieved Urban Faber at the start of the ninth in- ning and allowed the Yanks only | two hits the rest of the distance— seven ininngs to be exact. George Pipgras was the third and last Yankee pitcher and as such, was charged with the defeat. Connie Mack picked George Farn- shaw to face the Tigers and live regret it. He was pounded out less than four innings and ddic Rommel took up the burden with a three run deficit. That disadvantage ‘ remained the same until the end, for every Athletic rally was matched by one just as good as the Tigers. Terrific clouting by Ralph Kress and Hcinie Manush was the high spot in the 8t. Louis Browns' tri- umph over the Boston Red Sox, 9 to 4. Manush and Kress each col- lected a triple, double and a single in four times at the plate. Cleveland and Washington divided | a double bill, the Indians taking the first game 7 to 4 and the Senators | the second, 11 to 2. Pitchers dom- inated in each game, Miller for the | Indians in the opencr and Hadley for the Senators in the second, Joe Judge hit two doubles, a triple and | two singles in five chances in the | nightcap. Rain or wet grounds put a quictus | on the National league campaign for the day except at Philadelphia where Burt Shotton's Phils sur- | prised everybody, including them- selves, by shellacking the Chicago Cubs in both ends of a twin bill, § to 7 and 5 to 1. Hack Wilson fur- nished the only consolation for the Cubs by driving out two homers in the first game—his 25th and 26th of the scason. The opener was & loose- ly-played, free-hitting affair while the second saw Alex Ferguson out- pitch Charlie Root by a wide margin.

In making this attempt to secure the presence of the most popular heavyweight of current ring history, Paolillo is taking a leaf from the ex- perience of the Boston promoters who paid Dempssey $2500 to an- nounce at the recent boxing show at Draves field, that investment paying for itself many times over when more than 30,000 crowded into the Boston National park to sce a second rate heavyweight bout that, sans the presence of the Manassa Mauler, probably would mot have drawn more than 5,000 fans. The Boston promoter, for their little show of showmanship, reaped the golden harvest and gave an idea to boxing promoters, Tony Paolillo lamong them. The man, from whom Gene Tunney wrested the erown jewels of ringdom, has a tremendous popular appeal and throngs flock to ec him wherevere he goes. Right now Dempsey is rehearsing with Mrs. Dempsey (the former telle Taylor of motion picture fame) ior “The Big Fight,” the play in which they will go on tour this fall. A police escort is necessary at the New York theater where they are re- hearsing to keep at bay the curious crowds storming the doors in their desire to sce the former champion. Dempsey has promised to let Paol- illo know by Thursday whether he |can come to Hartford for the Kap- lan-Flowers card. ‘The indication is that a big gallery will see Kaplan step out against | Flowers whether or not Dempscy at- tends. There has been a big advance sale and the bout has stirred much interest because of the fact that the colored boy improved greatly since he last met the Meriden Buzz Suw. In that other bout, Kaplan damaged Flowers considerably but flowers gove him a good fight and, in the sixth round, caught Kaplan with a stiff right to the jaw which dazed the former world's champion and promised to send him to the floor, but he rallied to stay in there and to win, Kaplan is shedding weight steadily at Silver Lake, where half a dozen others of the Kaplan stable are as- sisting him in making ready for the bout with the Colored Klash. Louis weighed 135 yesterday and Denny { McMahon says he will come in Fri- day at 133, strong and fast. Kaplan is reveling in his outdoor workouts and is showing, as he boxes with his sparring partners, the old dash and snap and the love of fighting. Visitors to the Kaplan camp agree that he looks better than in a year and expect to see pim his oldtime self against Ilowers in this, the first boxing bout ever held at the Hart- ford Ball park Flowers is due in Hartford morrow to wind up his training. Frarnkie O'Brien, Hartford south- paw, who meets Frankie Konchina of New York in an eight-round semi-final, is also working out at Silver Lake. Frankle is in great shape—he always is—and is fast and hitting harded than ever with that deadly left. The Hartford middle- weight will need the best he can muster against Konchina who scored Smith, Hartford middleweight, at the Nutmeg Stadium last summer. a one-round technical kayo over Joe Two sixes and two fours complete the card. JUNIOR GOLFERS START CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNEY Field of 162 Players Between Ages to- of 15 and 19 Years Tee Off This Morning Glen View Golf Club, Chicago, Aug. 7 (UP)—Youngsters who shoot the caliber of golf older play- ers have ambitions to play. stepper into the golf spotlight today with the opening of the western junior amateur championship tournament, A field of 162 players, aged be- tween 15 and 19 years, teed off this morning for the 1S hole round which will determine the 32 quali- flers for match play competition. Wednesday, two elimination match play rounds of 18 holes each will be played.

BY BILL YEVANS (NEA Service Sports Writer) ' Like the immortal brook, John| Quinn Picus, known to the baseball fraternity as plain Jack Quinn, seems to go pitching on. Old Doc time apparently has forgotten to check up on Connic Mack's veteran hurler. Cy Young of other d was around the 40-year mark when he stepped out of major lcague cam- palgning; Babe Adams was through at 42; Johnson at 40. Grover Alexander still is carrying on at 41. But old Jack Quinn at 43 is hurl- ing exceptional ball this scason. In | fact, he's likely to hang up the best | record he ever has established in! his 16 years of big time competition. | That's something to ponder over a bit, Quinn started his professional career in the Penn State league in 1903. He started six years before Alexander, four before Johnson and one in advance of Adams. Hene this in Jack's twenty-sixth pro sca- son on the diamond. i Quinn has had an unusual big league regime. As far back as 1909 | he was with the Yank After | four scasons there he was shunted | to Rochester in the International. | Two years or so later he caught on with the Red Sox only to jump to| the Baltimore club of the short-| lived Federal league in 1914. The | next campaign found him with the Orioles, but in 1916-17-18 he was| with Vernon in the Pacific Coast cirenit. | 014 Jack finislied the 1918 chase | with the Chicago White Sox, the coast league having suspended on | account of the world war, 1In 1919 he was awarded to the Yankees, staying there until the end of the| 1921 season when he was traded to the Red Sox. Three and a half years with Bos- ton and Quinn went to the Athletics at the waiver price. That in 1925, Since joining the Macks, the veteran right-hander secms to have taken a new leage on life. 1In 1 he finished with a mark of 13 vie- torfes and 11 defeats. The next vear he fell back somewhat, copping 10 games to 11 reverses, Last se son he cane back with 15 wins and but 10 losses This year Quinn has been setting a hot puce. He has been right up with the leaders since the opening gong and has given no outward signs of a letup. 1 wouldn't he surprised were Jack to chalk up 20 triumphs this season, a pretty win- ning figure nowadays and a mark the old fellow has yet to reach in his major hostilitics. Twice Quinn has hit the 18-win class—in 1910 and 1920, Like Alexander, Fuber and some of the other vetcrans, Quinn depends 1o a great extent on the old gray matter when in the box. Jack's | souper, obviously, isn't what It uscd to be: his fost one lacks the zip it once knew, but the spithall is as de- ceptive as ever, One ack's assets, besides brain; ability to put the ball Like Alexander, Mathewson and others who stayed around the big top years after their assortment of stuff was but 50 per cent of what it was in their younger days, Quinn is strong on control. Jack knows how to work the cor- ners, is thoroughly familiar with his batters and you seldom find him lin the hole on a batsman. In the last two campaigns Quinn ked | only 73 men in 65 games, a little more than one pass to the fracas. John Quinn Picus, or old Jack Quinn, it you prefer, is to the majors what Hoppe is to, billiards.

DECIDE STATUS OF BILL TILDEN Gommittee to Settle Question of Professionalism of Star New York, Aug. 7 (®—Whether “Big Bill” Tilden is to play tennis in the future as an amateur or a professional rests in the hands of the executive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion. Charged with violating the ama- teur rule of the U. 8. T. A. through newspaper articles he wrote during the Wimbledon champion- ships, Tilden will come to “trial” before the executive committee at New York, Aug. 24. The meeting was called yesterday by Samuel H. Collom, president of the U. & L. T. A. in a radiogram from the S. 8. Paris, on which Collom is returning from France with Tilden and the rest of America's defeated Davis cup challengers, TlLe charges against Tilden were made by the advisory and finance committee of the U. S. L. T. a day or so before the United States was to meet round at rams. Tilden eventuany was allowed to play only after the French had appealed to Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to France, to bring about his reinstate- ment. Until Tilden's status Is defintely decided one way or the other, he will be eligible to play in any ama- teur oournaments he wants to enter. The Meadow Brook club, now hold- ing its annual invitation tournament at Southampton, asked specifically for a ruling on this question and received the following reply from Holcome Ward, chairman of the amateur rila nammictao: “Tilden is eligible to play in »' tournaments, pending action en the charges by the executive committee. He must himself determine the propricty of playing in tournaments in the meantime.” DEMPSEY MAY FIGHT Champlon Will Mcet Winner of Elimination Bouts, New York, Aug. 7 (UP)—The New Daily News said today that Dempsey had signed a contract with Tex Rickard to meet the win- the Leavyweight elimination ment in which it is hoped Gene Tunney's successor will be found, The News said Dempsey would go into training as soon as his present theatrical engagement was complet- ed—probably in June—and that the fight would be nest summer. ‘The newspaper predicted Dempsey would deny the story but said his de nial would be incorrec TO PLAY PRO FOOTBALL AGAIN Bruce Jones, one 'of the hest guards ever turned out in southern | football, will play pro football for { his second year with the Green Bay Packers this fall.

Fafnirs .o | Paper Goods Muchine Rule Stanley Weather permitting, the Stanley Works baseball team, leading outfit lin the Industrial league, will clash |with the Land Frary & Clark {nine at Walnut Hill park tonight at 30 o'clock. Counting tonight's |game, the Buttmakers have three games left on the schedule and all |three of them are critical ones, the |hardest probably being the game |scheduled today. The Stanley Works team has lost only one game while the P. & I, Corpin nine has now lost three, put- |ting’ that outfit two full games bes |hind the Stanley Works in the league standing. It is highly nec sary for the Buttmakers to win twa {out of the last three games in order to win the pennant. A loss of two games, providing that the Locke |makers win their remaining cons [tests, will mean a tie for first place {between Stanley Works and Cor- | bins. Although to some partisan back- {ers of the Stanley Works team, the {chances of the team's losing the pennant which is now so closely in |its grasp, seem remote but, judging from the showing of the landers team in its recent games, the Stan- lley Works team will have to be at |its absolute best to come through {unscathed in the three remaining games. The other two contests facing the Stanley Works team are games with |R. & E. and Fafnirs. Both of these contests form crises in themsclves Dbecause both teams have been showing surprising strength in re- lcent games. Only last week, the Afnir team did the almost impos- sible by coming through in th ninth inning to win from P. & I° Corbins and who can say but that |the team is liable to develop a pen- |chant for defeating likely pennant | winners and take the Stanley Works team into camp? The contest, if played, will be staged on Diamond No. 1 at 5:30 o'clock. The second contest of the evening scheduled to be played on Diamond No. 2 at the same hour, will be be- tween the New Dritain Machine and R. & E. teams. R. & F. still standy a chance of coming in for first place lin the league and the players will {take no chances on a loss to the lowly Newmatics Rain Interferes With Church League Games Rain again interferred with the Inter-Chuch league games last night.
