Schaaf belted his way to a refer- ce’s decision over the former light heavyweight titleholder in a sensa- tional 10-round battle at the Arena last night. One of the judges scor- ed Loughran as the winner and the other voted for a draw. The verdict of Referee Leo Houck rrecipitated a noisy demonstration and police had to be called to dis- perse the noisy crowd. Most of {the .fans thought that Loughran | should have got no worsec than a draw. Coming on the heels of his knock- |out at the hands of Jack Sharkey |last summer, the defeat of Lough- ran, in the opinion of experts, low- cred Loughran's heavyweight pros- pects materially. | A year ago Loughran, then hold- s of the light heavyweight title, won a decision over Schaaf in Bos- ton. But last night he found in the Boston gob a greatly improved fighter. Loughran, still the clev | boxer of old, excclled in that de- partment, but Schaaf was by far the | better fighter. The Philadelphian displayed a brilliant defense and his lightning jabbing and counter-hit- | ting scored many points. For a time his speedy left jabs botherel but the Bostonfan shook IS EXPECTED THIS SUMMER Outlook Is for Eight or Nine Entries—League to Start May 12 and Play On Monday and Friday Evenings Into August — Several New Teams Join Veterans of Previous Seasons—Final Make-up Ready With- in Few Days. GOLF STARS ARE READY FOR TRIP Seven Members of Walker Cup Team Are Now in New York ,New York, April 29 (®)—Seven ot America's eight Walker cup golf representatives had gathercd here teday and the eighth was no further away than Washington. ‘With their departure on the Mauretania set for tomorrow after- noon, Bobby Jones, captain of the invading expedition; Francis Qui- met, Don Moe and Dr O. F. Willing all arrived in town yesterday to join three other members of the team. Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston, na- tional amateur champion, George Von Elm and George Volgt. The eighth member of the squad, Rol- and Mackenzie, was expccted to ar- rive from Washington either today or some time tomorrow. Whatever other members of thz team may decide to do, Jones will Eight or none teams will com- prise the enlarged Inter-Church baseball league this summer, it ap- peared at a final meeting of team managers held at the Y. M. C. A, last evening, and as soon as definite word has been received from two possible entrants the schedule will be made up and everything put in readiness for the opening of the season on Monday evening, May 12. Six teams announced at last [night’s meeting that they would be in the field this summer. These were the St. Matthew's German Lutherans, league champions for the past two years; the South Congre- gational church, holders of third place for two seasons; the Trinity Methodists, the First Baptists, the St. Mark's Episcopalians, and the Memorial Baptists. In addition, the First Lutherans, Two-time: cham- pions and runners-up for the last two scasons, had signified at a pre- vious meeting that they would place a team on the diamond. The two teams which have not given definite word are the Stanley Memorial, which has been cxpected to enter, but had no representative on hand last night; and the St. John's Ger- man Evangelical Lutherans, whose delegate last night asked for a few days more before giving a final de- into second place with 4 9-7 triumph ! over Detroit.

It now appears that one further old contestant, the Swedish Bethany team, will be missing from the ros- ter this season, as this group has shown no interest in the formation of the 1930 loop. But several new- comers will more than make up for this loss. The First Baptists are returning to the fold after having been on the outside for oné year.

Greatest Thrill From Grid Game Simpson's love for football, which was still evident last fall when he eported to C h Sam Willaman'’s Yhio State var uad, netted him three letters as a halfback high. The greatest thrill he ever re- cefved from sports was not when he shattered the record for the century but when he was rushed into a high school football same in the closing | minutes and caught a long forward | pass for a touchdown that brought | victory to East high. | During 1924 and 1825, the per- formances of Simpson were but those | of the average high school sprinter |and not until |of the Ohio Express begln to creep {across the record book. | He started his long achievements by winning | vard dash of the Michigan s of sprint inter- . national record. On the outdoor track in the spring, he continued to pile up marks. He turned the cen- tury of the state interscholastic in 4.8 seconds and the furlong in 21.7 seconds. Throughout the season, his | marks remained consistently at 10 flat or better, And so consistent has the Ohio boy been since that time that on only two occasions—a pre- liminary heat at thc Rice relays when the field was facing a strong wind and again at the Penn relays in 1928 with the track ankle de mud—has he failed to scconds. Culminating his Simpson staged on liant performances Stazg field, Chicago, in the interseholastic. He ran in the position of his sprint relay team that finished ahcad of an unusually fast field. He won the 100 yard dash anc | the 220, equaling the national record of 9.5 seconds in the century and turning in a sensational 21.§ seconds in the furlong. And the mark of 15.5 seconds for the 440 yard relay, which still stands in the record hooks. was greatly due to the run- ning of Cicorge Simpson Broke Frosh Sprint Records A light schedule of training de- d to improve h ¢ his xpeed for varsity competi- given the Columbus boy when he entered the state university in the fall.

Nobody was hurt. ball for two years. The Memorfal Baptists are also newcomers, the only previous activity of that group in the league having been several years ago when, as the German Baptists, it competed in bowling. The St. John's team, if it enters, will be participating in a church sport for the first time. From May to August Official equipment was adopted by the managers present last night. This will be paid for by entry fees, which will be payable on or before May 16. Word from the two hesi- tating teams is expected within a few days, and then the schedule will be drawn up and published. The league will play its games at Willow Brook park on Monday and Friday evenings, beginning at 6:45 o'clock. If there are eight teams, there will be two games each night and the schedule will close on Aug- ust 22. If the league goes to nine teams, three contests will take place each evening, which will bring the league to a finish on August 8. League rules will be the same as last year.
