R|SKO MAY FACE
JACK DELANEY

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.APromoter
Dick Dunn Of the Olympic boxing
arena in Detroit is due here today
on a mission that may keep Johnny
Risko. Cleveland heavyweight, out
Of the preliminary bouts in the New
York elimination tournament to de
termine the next champion.
Dunn will attempt to sign
RiskO to box Jack Delaney, Of
Bridgeport, Conn, for a fight in
Detroit late In November. After
September Z, when he meets
Bearcat Wright. Nebraska negro
heavyweight. In bout at
Omaha.
Risko plans to take q months
rest and does not intend to fight
again until December with the pos
sible exception of the Delaney go.
RiskO Is said to feel that he, and
not Tom Heeney, should have been
to fight Gene Tunney this
year and that 1t Is unfair to ask
him to go through another ~elimina-
tion tourney.

wind up their home campaign with
the Red Sox on September L. From
then on they will be Wild roysterera
on the highways OF the nation,
ready to sock and be socked.
First they come here, battling
twice ON Labor Day and play
ing off yesterdays postponed
game the day following. Then
they leap mp Ii Boston for .
crack at the team that has
given them ~ out Of IA VIC
tories.
The As chase the Griffs into
New York on September 9 for three
games before heading westward
closing In Chicago. In other wards,
q good road team will play on the
road throughout the final month
OF the campaign and. because Of
that, hopes to overcome this handi.
cap OF five games and cross the
line ahead OF the New York
Yankees.
Washingtonians, cheated out cf
peek at the revised AS by the
angry rain gods yesterday, will get
their final peek at them in those
three games early next month ana
surprise will probably be mani
tested. The As are q much
changed outfit since Cobb ana
Speaker sank back into the
shadows.

Haas and Miller II distinct i'm.

OF Miller, Speaker and Cobb.
Furthermore. the daring OF youth
counts for more right now than
the steadied poise of old exper-
ience.

better, takes more chances and

next year.
Jimmy Fcxx has much to learn
at third base, but he has the
spirit Of youth the willingness to-
try anything once strong arm
and heavy hat. This Ncombina.
tion will keep sammy Hale on
the bench indefinitely.
Connie Macks nitching staff has
q wide edge over that Of the
Yankees and. strange as it may
seem, the As today have team
batting average higher than that
of the Yankees, .SO1 to .299- 1t il
because OF all this that the long.
lean leader OF the AS looks for
ward with quiet confidence into
the distant shadows Of fast
approaching September. He may
see the mobs swarnlirlg In Lehigh
Avenue, fighting to see his team
in q world series for the first time
since 1914.
The Washington Griifmem
have nothing 10 do today.
Their final home stay gets under
way tomorrow when Sad Sam"
Jones goes against the St. Louis
Browns In the first Of three
games.
Since the Browns were here last
they have acquired Frank Nc
GOwan, an Outfielder formerly with
the AS. and SO Earl McNeely ID
being crowded out Of the lineup.
McGowan hits harder than does
McNeely, so he IS getting the nod.
Griffith Stadium fans viii be sorry
not to see McNeely in action. He
is a big favorite with them.
Friday George Moriarty leads his
Detroit Tigers into town for their
last three contests here. The
Sunday date should see a hand
some attendance. Indeed, the Griffs
have but four more Sunday games
at home and they can't well be
wasted.
