1O-round victory over Ray Miller,
the Chicago left-hooker, in the

Petrolle defeated Miller by carrying
the fight to him in of the 10 rounds.
He upset Miller in the third with a
short right cross to the chin, floor

Petrolle stepped inside of his left hand

Paddy Harmon, president of the Chi

hoping to match him with Tony Can

Two Detroit promoters. Dick Dunn Of
Olympia and Floyd Fitzsin1mons also
are angling for Petrolle's services. Both
want to match the Fargo battler with

awarded contracts for an outdoor arena
seating $4,000 persons and would stage
the match there.

night that he had signed a fve-year
lease on a 27-acre plot at the Michigan
State Fair Grounds here and had en-
gagged contractor to build an arena to

The State athletic board met at Lam
sing today and approved the bout as
a Championship match and also au-
thorized Fitzsimmons to construct the
arena.
Fitzsimmons said the stadium would
be a temporary structure, planned to
last about 10 years. He has an option
for an additional five years on the
ground besides the flve-year lease.

CINCINNATI, June (p.-The five

a result of strengthening the weaker
teams and has done the circuit world
of good, President John A. Heydler said
today. He was here for the annual
June meeting of league club owners
The rise of the Giants to a fighting
position for first place and the improved
playing of the Philadelphia team he
cited as result of the action. He de-
clared interest among the fans had been
intensified thereby.
Heydler will go to st. Louis tomorrow
to present Sunny Jim" Bottomley.
Cardinal first baseman, the most valu-
able player award for 1928, and said
that he foresaw no action toward
abolishing the award in the National
League. American League club owners
recently did away with it, asserting
there is no way to determine the most
valuable player and attacking the Gus
tom as a cause of i'll feeling among
players.
The award is voted by base ball
writer's.

THE SPORTLICHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

will break all attendance records when
! 1T comes to Stampeding galleries in pur-
suit of various stars.
The golf gallery is the only crowd
| of spectators in all sports that has to
work as hard as the players.
At foot ball, fights, base ball, tennis,
polo, etc, the crowds sit and watch.
In golf the gallery must turn in a
croSS-country run of six or eight miles
and do its share of hurdling fences and
| jumping over streams and bitches. At
! the end of the day the spectator in
golf is more worn and more weary than
the athlete he has pursued. With such
names as Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen,
Horton Smith, Johnny Farrell and
eight or ten others to work up interest,
| 1t would not be surprising to see from
$4,000 to $4,000 spectators on the last
day, anyway. Horton Smith has added
fresh interest to the occasion, for a
new name in the upper tier is always
welcome to the mob.
This will be one of the most open
| of all the open championships yet
! held, since any one of 10 or is
players might break through. Bobby
| Jones and George Won Elm both
| seem to favor Walter Hagen, but
! there is no one to be favored in
test of this sort. The straight, con-
| sistent hitting of the two Smiths
| Horton and Mac-give them as good
| a chance as any one else.
! There Is almost no choice to be made
/ from Jones, the two Smiths, Farrell,
Hagen, Armour. Sarazen and D1egel.
And none of these may be in front
when the final putt rolls in on Satur-
day, June 20.
1t would not be at all surprising to
see another tie. There were ties In
1928, 1925, 1927 and 1928. With so
many good ones around aiming In the
general direction of some score from
292 to 296, there is nothing strange in
| having at least two or three OF them
hooked to the same figures at the finish.
Half Strides.
Hurry-up Yost says he has quit foot
! ball coaching for good. The next an
nouncement will be that Lindbergh has
! flown his last plane and that Babe
Ruth has taken his last cut at a fast
one.
Ring Lardner says the hardest shot
! in golf for him is 1.-The explosion shot
| from the tee" This is simple shot to
play if you care how far it goes or
in what direction.
It may be. of course, when the big
test comes at the Polo Grounds that
Pauline will lose chin and Schmeling
destroy a right hand as result Of the
impending collision.
Connie Mack may not win the A. L.
pennant race this season, but no one
can accuse him of loafing at the start.
Bobby Jones has slipped so badly
that he recently took 70 at Winged
Foot. Something has got to be done
about slump of this proportion, even
if it leads to the adjustment of the
legal profession.
A bullfrog can't jump as far as

w WITH each passing day 1t be-
A comes easier to believe that
NV Baker and Barry and Col
Inns and McInnis are back
at their posts again, easier
| to take the backward trail through
base ball history to the day when Cor
nelius McGillicuddy owned the 100 per
cent base ball machine. The Athletics
of 1929 battered the Browns shamefully
yesterday in 15-to-4 battle, proving
once more their right to wear the man
! tie of their illustrious predecessors.
It is yet too early to pass out the PEN
nants. but if memory serves, the cham
pionships of 1913 and 1914 were as good
as awarded to Mr. Mack along about
April. The first third of the 1929 cam
paign soon will be over and the MackS
promise to pass that stage in such good
circumstances that $50 ball will suffice
over the rest of the route-as it would
have suf1ced for the last three Yankee
teams. Further, nothing short OF cat
aclysm can prevent the Macks from
holding the lead on July 4, the tradi-
tional date on which pennant SoundingS
are taken.
Cleveland outpunched the Yankees,
to 7, yesterday, as the Athletics made
merry with. the Browns, giving Mr..
Mack another neat gain over his
nearest competitors. The Yanks and
the Browns remained in a virtual tie
seven and one-half games behind the
Athletics, with the champions holding
a slight percentage edge through hav-
ing played fewer games. The Philadel-
phia advantage really is some greater
than the cold figures, because the Yam
KEGS face IL double headers with
pitching hardly equal to the task.
George Pipgras was knocked out by
the Indians yesterday, and Myles
Thomas and Tom Zachary were rough
ly used after he departed. Tony Lag
zeri and Cedric burst made it seem
close with a pair of home runs in the
eighth, driving Walter Miller from the
box, and another rally in the ninth
threatened to pull out the decision
against Ken Holloway. Young Terrell
put an end to the folishness by the
simple expedient of forcing Gehrig to
hit into a double play.
George EarnShaw failed to go the
route against the Browns in spite Of
a 10-run lead, but he nevertheless re-
ceived official credit for the victory.
The Browns eased him out of the pic
ture with Q tour.run rally IN the 9th,

Tigers Slam Liska Soundly
In Rally That Nets rs Win

/DTO have and to hold" was no
- motto for the Nationals yes
terday as they encountered
Il the Tigers in the second
game of their series here.
Throwing his reserves into the front
line in the seventh inning, Manager
Walter johnson saw his forces forge
ahead of the Clan Harris, that had been
gathering runs here and there since the
start of the pastiming. But the rally
ended after Red Barnes, pinch batting
for Ira Flagstead, chased over three
markers with dandy double, and the
Tigers came right back in the next
round to bag three runs and the game,
7 to 5.
Irving Hadley and the left-handed
Earl Whitehill were pitching opponents
at the start. Neither lasted. Hadley
went seven innings and gave up but
five hits and pass. Three of the hits
and the pass, though, were good for
three Tiger tallies and a tumble Joe
Cronin made at the start of an inning
paved the way to a run.
Whitehills first pitch of the game
was socked to the angle back of right
center by Buddy Myer, giving the
young National his first home run OF
the season. Then the southpaw yielded
nothing more than six walks and a
single until the seventh. Then a brace
of singles and pass filled the sacks
with one gone. Goslin's Texas Lacquer
showed run over and Whitehill to the
shower. Stoner, relief pitcher, was
greeted by Barnes with twc-bagger
that netted Washington three more
runs. But Stoner recovered quickly
and held the Nationals to one single
the remainder of the way.
Ad Liska, who assumed the local
mound job after Hadley had given way
to pinch batter in the seventh, started
the eighth well by tanning johnson.
But Harry Rice singled and Gehringer
doubled AS Fothergill went out, Rice
crossed with the tying tally. A two
I Dagger by Alexander and single by
! McManus followed TO give the Tigers
two more runs. Bob Burke hurled the
ninth against the Tigers and the one
hit of him failed to help them.
Hayes made a whale of a stop and
throw to end the Tiger sixth. With
Foth gill on third base by virtue Of a
! triple, Alexander smote a hot grounder
past Judge toward right field. The
National second-sacker leaped across the
sward to his left, checked the ball,
| juggled it for a moment, and finally
threw just in time to flag Dale.
Such good use did the Tigers make of
the seven safeties, one pass and Gro
nin's bobble that they had but three
men left on the runway.
