It is neces- sary that the team get started at that time so that it will arrive on time for the game in. Taftville, Max S8chmeling, Gérman fight sen- mation who handed Paolini Uzcudun the worst beating, he ever received in his life at the Yankee Stadium in New York Thursday night, is far down the ladder with regard to the heavyweight championship but if he ©ontinues to fight like he did Thurs- day night, he will soon be at the top. 7 He lacks'the devastating punch in his left hand which Jack Dempsey (possesses but he uses a left jab like Gene Tunney. He has dynamite in his right and although he didn't have a great deal of chance to use it Thuraday night, when he did send it home, it hurt Paolino. Bchmeling is smart. He fought Uscudun the only way anyone could fight the Spaniard and win, He crouched with him and outfought him on infighting which is Paolino's long suit. He had Paolino out on his feet at the bell in the 14th round and was 8o anxious to kayo him that he failed to hear the bell. It is our opinion that he will take Jack Sharkey when those two meet, if they ever do. He is fast on his feet, he can box and he can hit, there isn't any doubt of that. He looks good to us to be the next world's champion provided he is handled right. For pilots he has the astute Pete Reilley and Joe Jacobs, both eof whom are considered among thg smartest and bralniest of managers in the fight game today. Reilley brought Delaney to the light heavy- weight championship of the world before Delaney licked nimself. Schmeling wants to meet anybody, but he would prefer to meet Jack Dempsey. We are of the opinion that he will beat Dempsey if they ever meet because of his speed. He de- fated Paolino through brainy fight- ing and the Spaniard is one of the toughest heavyweights in the world today. Because he didn't knock him out, is nothing to detract from his ability. No other fighter has put Paolino away and as long as he re- mains as tough as he is he won't be knocked out for some time to come.

BABE HERMAN IN LEAD IN HITTING Brooklyn Battering Ram Pushes His Way to the Top New York. June 29 ( — Babe Herman, the Brooklyn battering ram, pushed his way to the top of the standing in the National league batting race in the weck ending last Wednesday, according to averages made public today. Herman owns a mark of .382 for 58 games, two points above Frank O'Doul, the Philadelphia outfielder. who showed the way for many weeks. A good share of the laurel wreath rests with Melvin Ott of the Giants. The Louisiana boy leads in runs scored with 64, in home runs with 21 and in runs batted in with 77. | Bill Terry of New York heads the list in total hits with 99, while Chick Hafey of St. Louis shows the way in doubles with 21. Lloyd Warier leads with 11 triples, while Kiki Cuyler of Chicago holds base stealing honors with 20. Other leading regular batsmen, following the two top men, are: Terry, New York, 371; Roush, New York, .364; Frisch, St. Louis, 362; Btephenson, Chicago, .356: Hafey, 8t. Louis, .354; Traynor, Pittsburgh, -349; Ott, New York, .348 and. Cuy- ler. Chicago, .347. Burlelgh Grimes, with 11 vic- tories and one defeat for .917, still leads the pitchers in games won and lost. The big spitballer's 129 in- nings of work also qualifies him for the top. Guy Bush of Chicago is second in winning, with seven and one for .875, and Sylvester Johnson of 8t. Louis third with six and one for .857. Johnny Morrison, the re- Juvenated curve ball shark, is the nominal league leader with four vic- tories and no defeats, but cannot yet be classed as a regular. Three clubs are at or above .300 in team batting. Philadelphia leads with .310; New York is next with -303, and Pittsburgh is third with -300 even. The Cubs lead in fielding with .975, two points more than the Giants can show. New York, June 29 (P—Argen- a, without a heavyweight threat since the days of Luis Firpo, is banking on Victorio Campolo to swat his way to the top. Campolo I8 not the colorful fight- er that Firpo was, but he has the build and the courage, say fellow countrymen who greeted him in New York. He is 26 years old, is six feet, seven inches tall, and weighs 230 pounds. Victorio was rushed to Al!ll’rlc!‘ after he had stopped Roberto Ro- berti, the Italian giant, in five| rounds. FOXX GONTINUES HIS WILD STREAK Pitching Offers of Yankees and Red Sox No Obstacle Chicago, June 29 (M—The pitch- ing offers by the Yankees and Red Sox during the last week looked just like any other pitching to Jimmy Koxx of the Philadelphia Athletics, and he continued to set the Ameri- can league standard with a mark of .405, unofficial averages, including games of Wednesday, reveal. Connle Mack's first baseman added nine points to his average to bound back into the .400 class, and to ahead of Bob Fothergill, Tiger outfielder, who slipped from .406 to .393. Foxx has topped the bats- men playing regularly in his circuit for the last five weeks. Among the other reasons why the Athletics were at the top of the heap were Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane and Bing Miller, all batting in the first 10. The leaders besides Foxx and | Fothergill were: 'Simmons, Phila- | delphia, .380; Lazzeri, New York, .374; Manush, St. Louis, .372; Coch- rane, Philadelphia, .37 Fonseca, Cleveland, .358; Miller, Philadelphia, .35¢; Combs, New York, .364; Geh- ringer, Detroit, .352. As a team the Athletics lost three points in batting, but remained out in front with an average of .316. De- troit stuck in second place with .306. ‘The Athletics had collected a total of 424 runs during the season, while restricting all opponents to 239. Bob Grove southpawed himself to another pair of victories during the week and raised his mark to 12 wins and one defeat. Behind him were George Uhle, Detroit: Vic Sorrell. Detroit and Rube Walberg. Athletics. who each had records of 10 (rh‘ umps and three setbacks. Although not able to work in turn Eddie Rom- mel, another of Connie Mack's hurl- ers, had collected six victories with- out suffering defeat. Grove was far in front in strikeouts with 83. The house of Mack .also was on top in team fielding, although forced to share first place with the Yankees, with a mark of .976. Cleve- land, ranking as the poorest fielding team in the circuit, contigued to show the way in double plays, hav- ing performed the double ceremony. 73 times. Other leaders—runs hatted in, Bimmons, Philadelphia, 79 home runs, Gehrig, New York, 20: triples, Manush, 8t. Louis, 8 doubles, R. Johnson. Detroit, 25: stolen bases, Miller, Philadelphia and Gehringer, Detroit, 11; runs, Gehringer, Detroit, 65, today stood between asome gifted amateur or professional and tho highest prize the game has to offer in the United States, Unleas there is a 72-hole tie necessitating a play- off, before the sun sinks over the well protected greens of the Winged Foot Golf club, a new champion will be crowned. The gallery will have its chance to shout, “the king is dead, . long live the king,” for a nmew champion will wear the purple of golf royalty. Johnny Farrell, the ruling menarch for the year ending today, was swept out of the competition with a flood of fives and sixes, even sev- ens and eights. Johnnny passed out almost unnoticed with 84-83—167. With 36 holes behind them ani the halfway mark reached a scant six or eight were in position to make a final desperate bid. Most cf them have known high golf honors before, others were confident that their hour was about to strike. Two full-fledged Americans, whose forbears came across the sea, from sunny Italy and no less sunny Spain, went into the last day's play tide for the lead. Gene Sarazen, New York, former cham- pion, and Al Espinosa, Chicago, scored 142 for the first 3¢ holes. Another tle was recorded for sec- ond place with” Bobby Jomes and Densmore Shute, Columbus, Ohio, who recently became a pro after a sparkling career as an amateur, deadlocked at 144, close behind was Tommy Armour, 1927 champion, with 145. The dead heat was further ex- tended into the next group where Leonard B. Schmutte, Lima, Ohio, pro who plays his best game in the championship, and l.eo Diegel, with great fighting spirit that has car- ried him to other great titles but never “the” championship, stood at 148, Ciose enough to make their presence felt if the golf lightning should strike, George Von Elm, De- troit, former amateur champion, with 149, followed by Craig Wood, Bleomfield N, J., Wiffy Cox, Brook- lyn, and Peter O'Hara, Verona, Pa., with scores of 150 each. All the late starters in the sec- ond day's competition had to dry out hefore they could start the third round. A rain that for sheer wet- ness took rank with any that has soaked a national open competition swept down upon the field in the early afternoon with mixed results. Bome of the contestants saw balls stop on the sodden greens that would have slipped past before tha storm, others failed to allow for the slowness of the soaked fairways in contrast to the fast surface of pre- vious days, and still others, notably Armour, Von Elm and Jones simp- ly ignored the rain, The weather handicap was not re- stricted, however, to the after luncheon pairs. A tricky and at times strong wind caused much trouble before noon, causing some of the struggling stars to declare that they did “not mind the weather if the wind doesn’t blow.” That was, of course, before the rain. Where 148 stars of varying degree skirted the rough and exploded from | the sand traps in the first two days play, only 67 were given the free- dom of the tees today. After the last putt, was holed for the secomsi 18, the list was arbitrarily reduced to the low 60 and ties. All whe scored more than 159 were eliminat- ed. In addition to Johnny Fairell, two other members of the American Ryder cup tecam packed up their clubs, Ed. Dudley and Joe Turaesa. So did Roland Hancock, a near win- ner last year. Well known amateurs included Harricon R. Johneton, Ed- die Held, Eddie Driggs. George Voight and Ross Somerville. The exit cue for pros was more | or less heart breaking for they wili have io g0 out seme June day next ear and qualify for the 1930 open | which will be held at the Interlachen club, Minneapolis. If they had been permitted to play today and man- aged to finish among the first 30 they would have peen exempt from the always hazardoas qualifying ordeal. The amateurs may have to make room for the pros before the final gun i« fired but they went into the third test with a clean slate. George Von Elm’'s 70 was the best scere for the second day as Bobby Jones’ 69 showed the way in the opening parade. Barazen scored 71, one under par, as did Armour, S8hute and Wood. Espinosa equalled par with 72. Die- gel, not al s 80 contistent, had the fame score two days in a row. T4. Jones had to be satisfied with 75. READ WERALD CLASSIFIED ADS POR BEST RESULTS - WATEH | TRUSTY REPEATIN' AIR-RIFLE. W&K’S« Mamaroneck, N. Y., June 29— | Germany. were served on Perkins & Co. jew- When the 1929 U. 8. Open passes tnto history, Bobby Jones' €9 will be recalled by the dopesters, but the eight or ten thousand peopie who were at Winged Foot yesterduy will remember more vividly the rain. Just as the mightly amateur of golf teed off at 2 o'clock the rain started. The shower was hard enough but nothing to be compared to what was coming. The first fairway, 445 yards long, was lined on both sides of the course from tee to green. Women, minus stockings, wearing the tan- inducing, low-backed dresses, made the gallery a colorful one. When the long-threatening storm broke, the lines did not waver hut stood by to see Jones go after an- other crown. But when the deluge came at the short third hole, there was a rush for cover. Dripping trees offered scant pro- tection and when it appeared that the rain would not let up, a long line of drenched spectators sloshed across the fairways and througn rough that had been turned into a swamp, The course needed rain badly but not just theen, What a bad break it was for Jones! Gene Barazen and Al Espin- osa had come in with 72 and 71 to give them each’ 142 for the first 36 holes, They were favored with perfect weather in the morning but Jones had to contened with minia- ture lakes on the greeps before he had played a half dozen holes. Not much is being said of Denny Shute of Worthington, 0., but he is right up With the leaders, He shot a 73 Thursday, missing a tiny putt on the final hole. Friday he broke par by one stroke. He may be a second Roland Hancock this year. Veteran Jack White of Scotland. the threat Thursday, faded from the picture yesterday when he took 186. But he refreshed his declining s when he shot his round in par. Anyway, he did not come to American to play in the Open. H: was inveigled into the competition by his nephew, Jimmy Thompson ot Knoxville, Tenn., who is likewise a pro. After his showing, the posses- sors of clubs bearing Jack White's name, are prounder thin ever of them. The old cry that Walter Hagen is through, has been raised again. He may be out of the 1929 medal tour- ney but he will bob up in cham- pionship form again. He has not had any good breaks the past two days. His putts insisted on staying out of the cup but he hit beautiful shots, The only hole that he really messed up was the 16th on his sec- ond round. There he sliced his tee shot into the rough and lifted his head as he played his second shot. The ball hit a stone wall and ca- reened across the fairway behind a clump of trees. He hit trees twice on the way to the green. This hole cost him seven, Louis Chiapetta played steadily except for putting, He made a lot more friends with the exhibition he | Igave of well-played woods and irons, He showed no indiation of nerves and proved a worthy mate for Hagen. The gallery pulled as hard for Louis as it did for sir Walter, | 1f the Sequin pro can stand the $6-hole gmnd and get a few breaks en the greens, he will be in the money. As a matter of fact, it will be put- ting that wins the open this year. All of the crowd of top-notch ama- teurs and pros gathered at Winged Foot can hit the ball, either with wood or iron. It makes little differ- ence what their lie is. But when it | comes to stroking the ball into the | cup, that is a different matter. | You could count the poor tee | shots on the fingers of one hand. Dubbed irons are almost as few, but an adding machine would be needed to record the putts that did not drop. | When Johnny rell attained the | open crown last June after he and | his followers had about given up hope that he would ever win it, the golfing world acclaimed him as Ha- gen’s successor. Now he is not mak- ing much of a Aght to hold his place. “Burped out” is the way he de- scribes himself to newspapermen. | New Britain golfers in the gal. | lery yesterday included Clarence W.
