HOPE ID GROWN
 NEW HEAVY CHAMP
Successor to Throne May Be Found During Coming Bouts

New York, Dec. 24 tP}-Predic- lions that q new champion will be sitting on the long vacant heavy weight throne by the end of next September seem now 10 have been based on fact rather than the grmdiose fancies Of prize fight pro- motors.
 Plans for the croWning of q new ti1lc-hOlIcr have advanced 10 the stage when it seems safe to venture q guess that the three big shots" ot the 1930 season will be held in , Miami, Atlantic City and New York and that the active participants will be drawn from among Jack Sharkoy and Tutfy Griffith of the United States: Max SchmoIing Of Germany. ] Phil Scott Of England and Otto Non 1 Porat of Norway. Several others notably Primo Carnera Of Italy, ] Victoria Campolo Of the Argentine, i Pauiino Uzcudun of Spain and q few ! Americau-born fighters may edge into the picture. but the chances
 appear to be all against them.
 As the situation shapes mp now.
 Sharkcy will meet either Nou Porat
 or Griffith at Miami in Madison
 Square Gardens second annual
 "battlr of the palms" on February
 27: Schmcling. the Teuton acc will
 face some outstanding contender possibly Scott at Atlantic City March 70; with the survivors clash. ing for the title in New York II
 September.
 Sharkcy is a certainty to fight a
 Mjami but his opponent will no
 be named until after Grifith's bat. tie with Johnny RiSllo here fridaN night and Non porat's clash witt Paulno UZcudun at the GarleI January 10. X sensational VictOr' for either Non Porat or Griliti , probably would result in the scloc
 ton Of one of them to face Shar I key at Miami.
 5 Schmeling, who still is under bal in New York state. has agreed t' ! meet the "best available opponent $ at Atlantic City in March. Report Z that Sharkey would fill his contrac l with Madison Square Garden [
 fight at Miami and then sign wit,
 the Taylor -Gmnis- Duffy promo - torial combine 10 meet Schmelin . at Atlantic City appear someWha far fetched. With the Miami figh S on February = and the Atlanti
 City show on March 29, Sharke! n to do this. would have to mak" tW big ring appearances in mont
 and the boys don't Go that in thes ' advanced and enlightened day
 Tho chances arc that Scott will g' il the call to face Schmeling at th n seashorc resort. Although there al
 several others who are bound 7, figure in any negotiations that ma r be made.
 4 Provided these first two big show
 go over as planned, Stptemb' n meeting between Sharkoy al IS Schmcling for inc til" apprH I likely. Madison Square Garden hol' = thc only contract under whiC IS SchmoIing may box in New lol l., state and Sharkey has appcart ,,. very well satisfied with the tinanci .. arrangements tho Garden has mao :, with him. Sharkey's contract vii
 the Garden expires after tn" Mial ', bout but thcr" appears to be |, good reason why the Boston battl :. won't be agreeable to a renewal.

About the Fighter Who Dared Iitz to Stand Him on His Head

 He answered the first bell by rush ing out and roughing Fitz vciously, This made Bob mad. In clinch, he threatened to stand Thorne on his head if he didn't fight like a man.
 "You big freak" said Thorne. with a curse, "Id like 10 see you stand me on my head"

YANKEES SUFFER SHUTOUT
BY WILLIAM j. CHAPMAN
Associated Press Sports Writer,

With hardly anything but the
games outcome at stake. the Tigers
and the White 6ox punched and
at Comiskey Park yesterday, thereby
removing the spotlight from the ef-
forts Of the Athletics to lap the field.
The Tigers won the marathon by 6 to
S. and did regain a virtual tic with
the Yankees. but both clubs stood
five games behind the flying Mack
men today.
Uhlc Given Credit
Ted Lyons went the route against
DetI oft. and George Uhle pitched 20
of the q innings. The veteran De
troit highlander gave way to a pinch
runner in the tWenty-first round, but
received credit for the victory, his
eighth in succession this season LII
Stoner finished for him.
The game was three rounds short
Of the American League record and
five below the memorable draw played
by the Braves and the Robins Oh May
/, 1920. Only four contests ever went
longer than the Detroit Chicago bat
tie, hoNeyer-the two record clashes
and a pair of 22-inning games IN the
National League.
The Athletics rapidly are growing
Into as great a menace to the peace
OF seven American League clubs as
the Yankees were for three seasons.
The flying Macks made Il nine in a
row yesterday by cutting the Sena-
tors, 10 to 3. at Shibe park.
Bosox Help Macks
The Red Sox helped the Mackian
cause by vhitewashing the Yankees,
5 to 0. at the fenway. Danny Mac
fayden gave the champions just four
hits and never was in danger. Herb
Pennock held the Red Sox scoreless
until the sixth when five singles and
an error by Combs sent him from the
mound. It vas the first shut-out OF
the Yanks this season.
The Browns kept pace with the
Athletics by trouncing the Indians, D
to 0, at Cleveland. Sammy Gray
gave seven scattered hits.
The battle for the leadership Of the
National League swung back to the
favor Of the Cubs yesterday. despite
two home runs b. Jim BOttomley.
The men of Mccarthy assaulted Will
lie Sherdel in the eighth as true
right-handed ~sluggers might be ex-
pected to slam a southpaw-but as
they didn't slam the venerable Mr..
Clarence Mitchell a day earlier. The
result was three runs for the Cubs
and a 5 to 4 decision which returned
them to the lead by half a game.
Giants Win Third
The Giants extended their winning
streak to three consecutive games by
judiciously punching their hits
against the Braves at the Polo
grounds. Most of the Giant offensive
was concentrated in two big rounds,
and the Clan McGraw won rather
handily by 7 to 3.
The Robins shaded the Phillics by
3 to 2 at Ebbets field in the remaining
National League combat. The Gin
cinnati- Pittsburgh game was post
poned because of rain.

Davis Stars

Americans Must Win One More
Victory From Japs to Ad-

Washington, May 25.-R)-Enjoy-
ing a lead Of two sets to one, John
Hennessey and John Van Ryn. young
American Davis cup tennis stars, were
comfortably-though not safely-ad-
vanced today in their effort to repel
Japan's contestants and remove the
spectre Of elimination from their path
toward a challenge to France for the
trophy.
The masterful gtroking Of Yoshiro
Ohta, captain of the japanese team
and winner of a gruelling five set
triumph over Van Ryn in yesterdays
play Of the American Ione semifinals,
brought fear to American tennis fol-
lowers. who had anticipated . fairly
easy triumph for the New Jersey
youth. The latter's decisive victory
in the doubles with IIennessey against
Ohta and Taunio Abe, however. did
much to allay anxiety and justify the
