LEAGUE PREVENTS
 SALE 0F GIANTS
National Magnat@ Refuse to
 Allow Rickard to Buy Team

New York, June 30.--It now ap- pears that the National league, most wisely. has put its foot down upon Tex Richards proposal to purchase the New York Giants.
 Nothing could be further from the interests of organized baseball than to have the famous fight promoter an owner of a major league ball club.
 Tex is not what the psycho-an- alysts would call baseball minded" " To his naive way of looking at things. the pennant races as at present conducted are rather silly. For one thing. there arc the New York Yankees. so far ont in front that paid attendance at American league parks is showing a marked decline. Rickard, in his wisdom, would remedy that, if permitted.
 When the promoter first proposed to buy a ma jor league club. a num- Der Of voices were raised in reason able protest syndicate baseball v the boogy man of big league base ball. would come as naturally 10 Rickard as those elimination tour naments" whereby he sought to find q logical contender for the heavy weight championship-and then put Jack Dempsey in against Gene Tun- ney. after all.
 At least five National league club owners were reported today to be unalterably opposed to Rickard' S ownership Of the Giants. Charles 4. Stoneham. the present president of the club has declared that as far as he knows, Tex will not buy into the league. IL may be that when the promoter arrives from Houston where he has been attending the | democratic convention. he will admit that his dream of being q major league magnate once more has been logically dissipated.
 Tex has admitted that if he could buy the Giants. the first thing he would do would be to turn the Polo Grounds into g sports arena and have the local National league club play at Yankee stadium. To Rick ards ingenious way of thinking II is ridiculous to have hig ball park empty just because the team is away from home. He already has an

BASEBALL STAGE SET FOR
 OPENING OF CITY LEAGUE
Three Games Scheduled at Walnut Hill Park This Afternoon-Tabs to Battle Prates-West Ends to Play Burritts - Cardinals Meet Rangers Mayor Paonessa to Toss Out First Ball on Each Diamond Close Race is Anticipated as Teams Line Up for Year.

With the stage all set for the opening of the City league this aft ernoon at Walnut Hill park. noth- ing remains but fair weather to start the six teams entered in the race this season off again in quest of an- other city pennant. Three games are scheduled to be played in the senior loop and one in the junior this afternoon.
 The Tabs and Pirates will open the season on Diamond No. at 2 o'clock. The Burritts and West Ends will clash at the same hour on Dia- mond No. ? while the third game
 will be between the Rangers and mond No. 1.
 Mayor Angelo Paonessa will off, cially open the league by tossing out the first ball in both of the ? o'clock games. The league is a municipal project sponsored and supported by
 mission and Mayor Paonessa's ac- lions this afternoon will put the stamp of official approval on the continuance of if.
 Interest in the league this year is higher than ever because fans who
 plan to follow the destiny of the teams entered. expect the race to be stiffcr and closer. The teams have all been strengthened to their best pitch for a gruelling race and no one has had the temerity to pick a sure winner.
 Junior League Game The Y. M. C. A. team and the Phantoms will meet on Diamond No I at o'clock in a Junior City league game. This will bring the fifth and sixth team in the circuit into action as the four others have played during the week.
 The rosters Of the teams entered in the City league were submitted at a meeting of the team managers | last night Several arguments sprang up as 10 the eligibility of cer- tain men mentioned with various teams but these were straigh'ened

 Organized baseball, while it has prospered during the past two sea- sons and is drawing a comfortab ble revenue this year. is by no means on certain ground as far as the af- fections of the cash customers Is concerned. The very suggestion that Rickard was the owner Of one club would lead to suspicion of his interest in others. And once you come out and tell the fan in so many words that baseball Is being fixed up to look attractive, the turnstiles will gather rust and it will be the end of the national pastime

SONNENBERG GETS
 FRACTURED SKULL
Wrestler in Hospital After Match
 With Strangler Lewis
Boston, June 30 R)-Gus Sor

Boston. June 30 R)-Gus sonncn- berg, former Dartmouth football star and victor in 70 consecutive heavyweight wrestling matches, was unconscious today with concussion of the brain as the aftermath of a sensational bout last night with Ed fStrangler) Lewis. in which the strangler came within a fraction of forfetting his title.
 Sonnenberg had won the first fall. the men returned to the ring and the former collegian attempted to negotiate his famous flying tackle hold on the champion. Lewis side stepped him and Sonnenberg literal iy flew through the ropes to land on his head beyond the row of rewspapermen.
 When in Is minutes he was un- able to continue Lewis was awarded the fall and the match and physi- clans ordered Sonnenberg rushed to . hospital.
 Nearly 10000 persons saw the specta cular climax to the match which 1t had seemed must end in the crowning of a new champion. Lewis towering figure beside the comparatively 1.-the contender, had repeatedly shown signs of faltering and his one time deadly body scis- Eors fro.ed ineffective against the younger mans headlocks.
 Lewis then resOrtcd 10 his fam ous stranglehold but without avail. In the end Sonnenberg dived in to butt Lewis in the stomach with a smashing impact He lifted the champion from his feet with the flying tackle and slammed the stranglers huge bulk to the mat to take the first fall in 37 minutes and 30 seconds. The champion was out for five minutes.
 The start of the second session the champion was weak. Twice Ion- nenberg dived in and Lewis lodged but on the third attempt the Dart mouth bay hurtled himself through the ropes and out onto the floor.
 It was the first meeting between the two and th> first time the cham pion had ever been seen on the de- fensI>e here. Sonnenberg in mete- oric career has rejuvenated interest in the wrestling game in New Eng land and his hackers believe he will be the next-world's champion.

Other writers figured that Rap Ian got yelv bad break when the bout was given to the Spaniard. But, be that as 1t may. kaplan gets the opportunity Monday night of show ing the world that the New York judges were entirely wrong In their decision on the last bout.
 If kaplan fails to win decisively. then there is only one deduction to be made and that is that the shout ing has been dons~all along by his friends. If he loses. then there should be no comeback.
 Kaplan feels confident that he will defeat his opponent and defeat him decisively. He is reported to be ia excellent shape for the battle. 'Qutntero is also confident and hi; manager predicts that the Spaniard will be the next lightweight champ ion of the world.
 The Lope Tenorio- King Tut bout schedulel at the yeledrome fast night, was called off again on ac- count of rain. This time. the bout has been suspended indefinitely and it is | question of whether it will bs held or not. According to what is heard about the streets, thu td- vance sale of tickets was fot very good and instead of being a disap- pointm ent to the promoter. the rain probably came as a blessing.
