 During the Iowa Illinois game in 1919, Slater and Ingwerson seemed to be waging personal bitter battle, but after the game they shook hands and walked together from the field.
 Coach Ingwerson quickly became a popular hero in Iowa City last April, when he arrived to take cherge of an intensive two weeks spring ,training. Gordon Locke, all-American fullback, is to be Ingwerson's first assistant.
 1ngwerson was born on c farm near Fulton, III. He entered high school at Clinton, Iowa, in the fall of 1913 and soon became one of the schools leading athletes. He matriculated at the Uni yersity of Illinois in 1919, and in his first year, he was varsity tackle.
 Twice in his four years at tackle he won a place on alE-American eleyens. He was captain of the Illinois one year. His other sport wah baseball in which he excelled as an infielder, playing four years. Several teams, including the Chicago Cubs, offered to sign him, but except for few months play in a minor league, he confined his baseball to college. f4i.S

ROBINS, GRFFS HEAD LEAGUES Pirates And Tigers Skid Badly During Last
 Week

NEW YORK, Aug. M.-Individual flares lit the major league sky as both New York teams struggled to retain their first place positions during the week which ended today.
 Washington, launching a new offen- sive the Tigers and Tanks, won its seventh straight game today and ad- vanced to within one point of the cham pions as the latter lost to Detroit which still haunts the two leaders despite q disastrous week. Other teams are distanced.
 The Giants hold a four-game lead over Pittsburg, thanks to the aid of Brooklyn which beat back the Pirate threat in three straight games and con- verted spectacular pitching into 14 vic- tories in IT games before being halted today by the Cards who won a double header.
 The double defeat left the Robins three and one-half games below Pitts burg and only one-half contest ahead of Chicago. The Reds trail three games behind the Cubs but St. Louis, topping Philadelphia and Boston, is ten games back of Cincinnati.
 The star of Dazzy Vance mounted to new altitude during the Brookln rush. On Saturday against the Cubs in his tenth consecutive victory and his twenty-second triumph in 26 starts this season, he established a National league record for modern times by flaming 15 men and increased his strike out total for the year to 194.
 Rogers Hornsby, batting champion of the National league challenged Vance for attention, by making nine consecutive hits against Philadelphia and New York pitchers. His orgy, not yet checked, has included four home runs in the last four days.
 Hornsby's home run total of 20 is second in the National league only to Fournier, who made two and rests at 25. Cy Williams, last seasons home run leader in the national, increased his string to IT by hitting three during the week. Ruth came out of a 13-game Hull to get his 39th today.
 Brooklyn hurlers followed Vance's trail. Erhardt held the Cubs to four hits and Doak allowed the Pirates six safeties in Il innings.
 Cooper of the Pirates, Genewich of the Braves and Osborne of the Cubs hurled three-hit victories. Bush of the Yankees, Sothoron of the Cards, John son of the Senators and Thurston of the White Sox, hurled four-hit contest. Pennock of the Yankees, has allowed but two runs in his last % innings.

M'GLVTY MEETS DILLON TONIGHT Scholder And Lacey Are Slated To Go Ten
 Rounds

Johnny McGinty will attempt tonight to cut another step in the stairway he 1 is building toward the top fistic plat form. He finds Young Jack Dillon of Louisville, who is building his own lit tie pet flight, crossing his path of con- struction. The ensuing argument as to priority rights should furnish Birming- ham fight patrons with one of the very finest pugilistic debates in many days.
 For some time McGinty has bexa recognized as among the best welters the south has recently produced. He has undoubtedly improved a great deal since his last local appearance. Mac totes a far more effective right hand punch. He now has his timing down to hairline accuracy, and in this fac tor lies the conclusion of the whole hay making matter. Perfect timing and CO., ordination, parts of the same whole, are the ingredients that have always gone towards the manufactory of real wallop.
 If Johnny can handle his one-two swing with the same facility and ease he has done it in practice, then it would be nothing like surprise to see him turn out the lights for Dillon early in the game and hang out the stopped by darkness" sign. But that isn't all he picked up in his recent itinerary through the effete east. He has de- veloped latent ability at the close firing end of the sport. Of old, the Irshman never was strong at the hand- to-hand grapple. Somehow he couldn't handcuff his opponent we'll enough to get the better of such an exchange. Now he goes at the matter with a cer- tain decision and finish that speak we'll i for his recent instruction. He is con- fident and works at short range with versatility surprising in considera- tion of its late acquisition.
 All in all, Birmingham fans will see much better boxer when the local product swings into action tonight. And he can count on the support of practically every fan, for they know he's in it for love of the game and will always give them a real scrap to watch. As for Dillon, his brilliant showing against both Red Herring and Jimmy Finley is still fresh in the minds of Magic City devotees. The Louisville boys willingness and his aggressivenes made big hit each time. He is rapid l ly developing into a local favorite.
 That semi-windup wrestling affair between Max Scholder and Tom Lacey will help great deal in drawing fans to the arena, as this pair has always put on a corking exhibition in the past. Each has vociferous following and their own colorful personalities make this match well worth seeing.
 Danny Stevens draws Red Burke in the last boxing preliminary this week. Stevens won a doubtful decision over Stevie Sarron last week when the lat ter cracked his thumb. This was as un- just. to Stevens as to his opponent, however, for the popular little scrapper certainly had no desire to win in such manner.
 Another feature will be the Sailor Simpson Young Hood battle. Hood, who was outpointed last week by Bogie Saab, holds one decision over the Sailor already, but the veteran thinks he can avenge this.
 Young Adams meets Joe Lechi and Kid Rich tangles with Young Smith in the two opening four-rounders.

 Some of the pitchers gave sterling performances during the week. In the double header between Little Rock and New Orleans, August IS. Green of the Travellers, shut out the Pelicans in the first game, holding them to four hits. Dutch" Henry, in the second game, gave the Travellers a similar dose, al- lowing no runs and but four hits. Henry pitched another shut out today, Sfhs ttanooga being the victim.
 Robinson, of Little Rock, shut out Mobile, August 20, allowing four hits, while Mclaughlin, of Atlanta, let Lit tie Rock down with three hits and no runs in Fridays game.
 Contrasted with this was the Chatta- Birmingham game of August 20, when the Lookouts pounded Bates and Sawyer for 25 hits and IS runs. Nash vile, Saturday hit three Birmingham pitchers for 16 safeties and 15 runs.
 The stellar slugging performance of the week was that of Niehoff, of At 1anta. He got two home runs in Sat urday's game and was robbed of a third by sensational play by Morri- son, of Little Rock.
 The Lookouts led in team slugging. In, five games, including Saturday s they made 65 hits. Fielding honors con. tinued to go to New Orleans. The Pelicans, in six games, made but four errors, and with good pitching held op- ponents to 13 runs. In six games Mo bile made four errors, but opponents scored 2 runs on the Bears.
 Atlanta led in run-getting scoring A times in seven games, including Saturday. Birmingham, still suffering through ineffective pitching, permitted opponents to score 63 times in six games.

 Even though the Wimbledon cham pionship carries with it the title of worlds champion, the field which has entered this year for the American championship is so formidable that the man who emerges winner will be ac- claimed, unofficially, the worlds best player.

 Tilden, naturally, is favored to win his fifth successive national champion ship, but in some quarters it is be- lieved that he may suffer mishap Vincent Richards, winner of the Olym- pie singles championship. whose game for some time has been growing strong CT, is considered by many as Tildcn's possible successor. If Tilden and Richards do meet, the schedule is so arranged as to place them opposite each other in the semi-finals.
 It is expected the tournament will end on Labor day.
 Besides Norman Brokes, Australia, has Gerald Patterson, Pat O'Hara Wood, Richard Schlesinger and Frede- rick Kalms.
 France, in addition to Jean Borotra, has Jacques Brugnon, Rene Locoste and Alain Gerbault, the man who recently attained fame by crossing the Atlantic alone in sailboat.

I would advocate eaching youngsters from the age of 10 upwards. Before that don't think 1t is necessary, as they do not seem to have the patience to pick up much by lessons. would certainly allow them to play to their hearts contests. At every opportunity let them see a good golfer play, for children are great mimics and can pick up natural from this way much more quickly. I am told by my relatives that I started hitting the ball when was three. and to this day I never had lesson from a pro, although right when I am going badly. I have little baby girl of my own who is sh years we'll. She is sometimes able to hit the ball 30 or 40 yards, but until she Is 12 years old will only encourage her to play as much as possible, with little help here and there. By that time a youngster ought to have a natural swing, and after that lessons should consist in educating the golfing mind
