NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE
heavyweight boil Is bringing
new complications to the sur
face almost daily.
The winner OF tomorrow nights
encounter between vittorio Campolo
and Tom Heeney may get the
coveted pairing with Max Schme.
ling next month. Schmeling. who
still SHES at Phil Scott, is willing
to take a chance with the Argen-
tine giant or the New Zealand entry
to make peace with the New York
Boxing Commission.
In the meanwhile. Knute Han
sen-remember Knute?-is back
from Europe and cunning for Q
match with Scott.
Hansen sets forth that he
bowled over the English cham
pion In round on the occasion
Of SCOTS American debut and
wants TO know where Philip
gets off to challenge anybody
until he grasses that black mark
on his record.
Meanwhile, the latest twist to
the Schmeling controversy gives
CampoIo and Heeney a fresh in
centive to win tomorrow night,
HuInbert FugaZy would undoubtedly
prefer tomorrow nights winner to
Scott as an opponent for the Ger
man some time next month If
Campolo stops Heeney he will be
hot attraction.
Fugazy liz going before the box
ing commissioners today to- sound
their opinion ON a contemplat I'd
switch from Scott to tomorrow
nights winner as an opponent for
Schmeling on September IL.
Chairman Farley in his official
statement broadly intimated that
SchmeIing and his managers were
through i'm. New York. yet the com
mission realizes that it has accom-
plished nothing for Fugazy. who
wants Schmeling to fight some
body for him before the outdoor
season ends.
Scott. the Schmeling crowd viii
have to definitely accept or reject
the Briton before the end of the
week. 1t was learned last night
that they will take Scott If there
is no other way out. In that
event Godfrey may get the winner
OF tomorrow's scrap early in Dc.
tober.
The Garden battlefront was
quiet yesterday. william r.
Carey declined to reply to any
statements Joe Jacobs is throw
ing off at every stop In the
SchmeIing exhibition bout Carey
is willing to leave the verdict
to public opinion.
He will, of course. interpose no
objection to Schmeling fighting once
at Ebbets Field. but if that leads to
another match under Fugazy's d.
rection the Garden win assert its
rights under a two-year option on the
Germans services.

give the ball all the pace she
had In her. Instead, she again
sacrificed speed for accuracy
and. while this ultimately won
for her over Miss NuthaIl, the
victory seemed to be the result
Of experience and the thing
they call class. rather than the
outcome 0f demonstrated superb
0r.ty. Anyhow. Il didn't seem
to be typical Wills victory.
There were times on Saturday
when fiss Nuthall looked the part
of the better tennis player. she had
greater pace on her service and
didn't hesitate to hit the ball. no
matter how tight the pinch might
be. Che had better length and a
lower trajectory to her bali and
she q g. her shots with greater
temerfty. She, perforce. outscored
Miss Wills in placements and earned
point BRIT Helen was much the
steadier and they paid off on that.
But, as j say. am only askin {
a few mental questions out loud. /
am no tennis expert: merely bloke
with two eyes and the right to use
them. They seemed to tell me that
the girl who beat the world because
she smashed them longer and harder
than anybody was being outpaced in
both enga gements, to say nothing
of the doubles match she lost with
Edith Cross to Mrs. Watson and
Mrs Michel on Friday.
The first question. of course.
obviates the second. If Miss Wills
is losing her zip, then our domino.
ton Of womsn's tennis is not long
for this life. Betty Nuthall is only
Is. She has matured early and
looks the part of "a, but she re-
tail-j the dash, Il insoucianee and
the will to win that is the pre-.
rogative Of youth. When she was
leading at to and to S in both
sets on Saturday. she was playing
tennis that nos more than two women
in world competition could equal.
One Of these two Is not Miss
Helen Jacobs, / fear. Granting
straight sets ON Friday, still
must insist that this was not
the Miss Nutllall Of Saturday
by many a last, long mile. Any.
body who can do that once, can
do 1t again and the next time
/ may be once too often.
II Helen Wills really is not her
self, it is this English girl, rathe,
than Miss Jacobs, who will bea1
watching. The latter lacks the
one thing that makes Miss wills
great, namely, anticipation. The
English, notably Miss Nuthall and
Mrs. Watson, have mastered thiI
intuitive business to q rather flint
degree. Miss Jacobs hasn't. Sh'
hits too many of her shots Will,
Off balance; therefore, she hits too
many out of court and into thu
net.
But then. as 1 say. / probably
don't know the slightest thing
! about it.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug.
13.-The other day one of the
newspaper boys came down to
the dugout and asked me if
I'D hit out a few fungoes.
Said he wanted to measure
them for distance.
I didn't think much about it, but
n hit three for him. When i was
through he got couple Of fellows
with tapelines and measured them.
Then, when he had the distances set
down, he came over to the bench.
You may not know it. big boy"
he said, "but you've just broken
another world record. The official
1ecord for fungo hitting was made
in 1912 by Ed Walsh. It was 416
feet. You hit three balls farther
than that, and your longest one was
AL feet. There's one for the book"
| had to laugh at that. Pm
not b fungO hitter, and never
was. There are several fellows
around the league who can hit
= fumg0 farther than can. You
know, hitting fungOs is not like
regular hitting. It's . trick
stunt, and only q few fellows
can do It properly. III can
/ break that record, then It's Q
(, nOOr record. There are lot OF
fellows who can do better than
/ did.

"With all respect to you, Babe"

Ed Walsh can still lick you to a

watched a lot of fungo hitters in
my day, some good ana some bad,
NIT I'm convinced that there's no
nan living who can drive a ball
further with fungo bat than Ted
Rlankenship. He's a wonder. What
he would do to that old record il
. he ever started in on it, woVid be
n caution.
Another interesting mark la e
to see the boys try for is the base
running record. Hans Lobert set
the record way hack in 1912 or 913
and 1t still stands. Hans was
pretty fast and ] don't knew I the
present day crop of speedsters could
beat him or not. But I'd certainly
IKE to see some of them try. 1t
Would be worth watching believe
me. And I've got a bunch the fans
J would get a great kick out of re
Of those old.time field days. I know
the players would. And I'd like to
see one of them staged again.

The Washington times., 1929-08-13

= The point is that there must be
lot Of old out-of-date records stick
ing around in the books waiting to
be srr1acked. And I've got q bunch
it might be good thing either to
hold new competition and bring the
marks up to date. or else throw them
all out. In the old days when was
breaking into the league there used
to be field days when the boys would
set out there and hit and run bases
And throw, and the marks would pc
announced and records kept. But
, that kind OF thing has sort OF gone
out gnce the war. and lot OF those
old records are still cluttering up the
Vbooks. =,
Some OF them, of course. will still
stand. For instance, there's the rec
Wrd for throwing. Larry LeJeune,
old.time Brooklyn player, threw
baseball 426 feet inches, and there s
no one around today who will break
that one or even come close. There
ara plenty of good hitters today who
can smack that ball for plenty o. dis
lance. but somehow the real throw
ers seem to have gone out. The boys
haven't the arms today that they
lIsed to have. Outside of Johnson,
of Detroit, and possibly Bob Meusei
IND Kiki Cuyler, don't beleVe
there's q man in the big leagues
now who can even come close to
Ieieune's record.
The Washington times., 1929-08-13

when IL comes to fungO hit
ting that old record is way out
az date. 1 proved that by
Breaking 1t on my first try,
and as said BEFORE I'm no
fungo hitter and don't pretend
to be. We were playing the

record and / was talking to

7:30 o'clock. This same service also
will provide for all flat cotton gath

This is the first time in history,
Mr.. Choate said, that such a service
