TOLEDO IS STRONG
FOR LARRY BOERNER

Laurence H. larry Boerner, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Boerner Of this city,
is making good with a will with the
Toleda, American Association base ball
team. The 22-year-old local youth.
who stands feet 5 inches and weighs
100 pounds, appears to have overcome
his former handicap Of wildness and
is showing fine form as a relief pitcher.
A few days ago he hurled 10 innings.
finishing two games Of double header
in bang-up style Boerner was loaned
to Peoria of the Three-Eye League for a
couple Of weeks recently, but Manager
Casey Stengel promptly recalled him
as soon as Peoria was able to bolster
its mound staff
Stengel is reported TO like the looks
Of Boerner, believing that all he needs
is seasoning and that he can best get
this now by relief work.
Boerner. who formerly starred with
the Epiphany team here. attracted the
attention of Clark Griffith five years
ago when he was only II. Grih was
forced to let him go because Of the
player limit Last season Boerner per-
formed in the virginia State League
and led hurlers Of that circuit in strike
outs. 1t was on the strength Of his
work in the Virginia League that he
was bought by Toledo.

NEW YORK, June 28-Tommy

weight title against Armand Emanuel,
young batter from California. at Madi-
son Square Garden tonight, or 1t may
pe just another fight.
II Emanuel comes in under the u.s.
pound limit the bout automatically
takes on titular aspects, although 1t
is only scheduled to 60 10 rounds and
the champion had not intended to risk
his crown.
Loughran was originally slated to
defend his championship against
Jimmy Slattery, but when the Buffalo
boy hurt his hand in training Emanuel
was called in as a substitute. He was
not expected to make the light-heavy-
weight limit, but in training he has
been down to TIA.
In his only New York appearance
Emanuel won a decision over the
ancient mariner of the ring, Mike Nc
Tigue, but only after the veteran had
given him thorough lesson in the
art Of boxing In Loughran Emanuel
will meet more dangerous opponent
one who can fight as we'll as box.

N that pudgy Clevelander spoiler
VI of heavyweight favorites, dough-
Johnny Risko, has battered out
of the limelight man general
ly picked to defeat him.
This time the victim was George
Godfrey, successor to Harry Wills as
the current BLACK menace" and the
man generally avoided by all heavy
weights who seek advancement IN their
profession. Risko was awarded the VIC
tory after 10 rounds Of vicious. bruislng
mauling last night in the ball park OF
the Brooklyn Nationals, Ebbets Field
Writers Favor Risko.
Although the verdict of the judges met
with only luke-warm approval from
IS 600 fans. several sport writer's gave
Risko a margin of five rounds with
four for Godfrey and one even. The
Associated Press score sheet gave the
negro giant five rounds, with three Tor
Risko and two even.
Risko apparently caught the. judges
eyes with a thrilling rally in the last Two
rounds that had the 235-pound negro
giant glad to hold and back away from
the stress of left hooks Johnny threw
AT his Il6du anu pOdJs So
semhlance of a knockdown and neither
bore marks of the battle at the close.
The warfare for the most part was at
close range, with premium OF clouts
to the ribs that rarely bothered either

negro for all his 1907 pounds, absorb
ed Godfrey's right hand smashes and
came back smiling for more while the
best shots of the Cleveland boy hardly
denied the man mountain opposite
him.
Godfrey Gets Lead.
In the early rounds Godfrey toyed
with the rushing youngster, who spoiled
Jack Sharkey, Jack Delaney and others
as drawing cards in Tex Richards elm
nation tournament last Winter. But the
great bulk of his frame weighed heavily
on the negro's slender legs in the last
ave rounds and Johnny, plugging steadi-
" forward, left hand awinging ahead
to take the verdict
The match was one of the few finan-
cial successes of the rainy Summer sea-

battered his way to a clear
cut victory over George Godfrey. the
black menace of the ring, in 10 rounds
before a wildly-cheering crowd of fight
fans at EbbetS Field last night.
Risko was in marvellous shape to carry
the fight to his giant opponent and ne
did that to the satisfaction OF the
Judges and referee. The harder the
fight waxed the more did the Cleve-
land thumper warm TO his work.
Godfrey looked like big black bear
cutting his smaller annoying Zoe.
Risko's left hand was continually in
the big naunch of the negro and while
it NAV be said that Godfrey cid not
show any signs Of distress from body
whacking. it is a tender spot with him
Judging from the way he retallated with
swings to Risko's kidneys.
Referee Has Hard Job.
The referee had TO work as hard as
the fighters He had to warn Godtfey
continually about laying all over RlsKo,
bending the latter's back until 1t seemed
the spine would snap, holding with ms
right and twisting RiSko's annoying IeIt
hand so that it would not be as Snappy
in the delivery of the smarting laoS ana
overland swings.
Risko started off by carrying the nght
to Godfrey. Big George scored the frst
hit with a long left. This aroused the
fighting ire of the Cleveland baker,
who chugged both hands into Godfrey s
body as If he we're basting batch OF
dough. Godfrey got in some OF MS
Illegal holding in the second round ana
what fighting generated came from the
boring in tactics of the smaller man.
Godfrey was stung in the fourth
canto and cut loose with a volley OF
cuffs and swings. The heavy punches
to the short ribs and wind hurt Rlsko
| and took some of the dash out OF nus
charges. Johns overland shots at
Godfrey had no effect whatever on the
grim viSage of the aroused giant.
Risko is Determined.
What Risko lacks in imagination he
more than makes up in determination.
In the face of what seemed like in
surmountable odds. he kept plunging In
with his left, hooking to the body and
looping a right to Godfrey's face.
Godfrey was fighting mad in the
seventh and tried to batter RisSo TO
| the floor with the sheer weight OF MS
BODY and terrific lunges. Risko stood
I'D ike a major, grunted when he was
stung and kept close to the infuriated
| Godfrey.
| All in all Risko fought heady fight
one that was plenty good enough to
beat Godfrey The only thing Johnny
needed to make his margin Of victory
more pronounced was mallet with
| which to dent the rolls of resilient flesh
| Godfrey carries around the body.
| Risko's next fight will be against
Johnny Squires, the South African
heavyweight champion. at Detroit, July

RAJAH REBUILDING
/ HUB TEAM FOR '29
Vance and Clark Duplicate
Feat by Alex of Four Wins
Over One Club.
BY JOHN r. FOSTER.

NEW YORK. June 2s-n Rogers
Hornsby functioned as the subcon-
scious manager OF the Boston Braves
prior to the time he became actual
manager some i've weeks ago. 1t would
appear from the standing of the team
today that he was much better in the
FIRST capacity than in the second.
When Hornsby succeeded Jack Stat
terry as the Boston manager on May %,
the Braves had standing of .4S7 in
the percentage column. Today they
stood more than 100 points lower at
1928. They have lost during the man
sgement Of Hornsby---that is his actual
anagement-enough points TO make
them dangerous contenders for the
Phillies' berth in the cellar
Up 10 May % the Braves had not
played many games at home. but when
they did get back home they fell into
that carefully constructed trap by
which they came mighty near being
home-runned out Of the league by their
rivals. Haste WAS made TO repair the
blunder that had been committed in
curtailing the Boston ball field.
Hornsby began 70 reconstruct at
tDnce It was evident that he didn't
like the personnel that was under him,
He has traded and snapped here and
4here, taking a number of pitchers
from New York for the best probable
pitcher he had on the team, Genewich
And while his team is slipping back
ward instead Of advancing, he hopes
10 have a team in hand by 1929 that
will elevate Boston TO the pennant pole.
The Boston team is the first in either
major league 10 lose half Of the seasons
series TO a rival club. It has lo.a II
games to Brooklyn and has won only
three from that team.
Grover Cleveland Alexander didn't
hold his record long as the only pitcher
10 win four games from one club in
the National League. This week along
comes DazZy Vance with his fourth
victory over Boston and Clark with
another four-ply record against the
same team.
Grimes also earned his fourth victory
over one team this week by mauling
the Chicago Cubs. If all the Pittsburgh
pitchers were as good as Grimes, the
Pirates would be mighty near the top.
SO there is one trade-GrimeS for AID
Tfdge-by which Pittsburgh made some
thing at the expense Of the New York
Giants
Alexander. Grimes. Vance and Clark,
team Who shall say that the old-timers
are all through?
Harry HeiImann benched! Well
Well Champion of the American
League IN batting in 1927, with per-
centage Of 1913. Normally 400 batter
and can't hold his own this season.
Heilmann's batting has been woe
fully weak and it has been apparent for
some time that a Shake-up Of the De-
troit lineup was imminent Recon-
.struetion OF the Detroit team Is on the
way.
Statements by Tex Richard. or some
body talking for him. that he is ncgo-
tiating for the purchase Of the New
York Giants arouse little interest in
base ball circles here II is known that
Charles A Stoneham, president of the
New York club, is determined to retain
control o. the organization and that he
has at present no inclination TO dis
, pose Of his holdings-least of all TO
Mr. Rickard.
