POWER SQUADR0N'S
CRUISE is SUCCESS

The Spring cruise of the United
States Power Squadron was held with
its usual success, the participants en-
joying themselves hugely, although the
turnout was smaller than expected.
This probably was due to the length
of the cruise and, the absence Of many
of the members and boats on other
trips.
The fleet was composed of Comdr.
j. Nelson Nevius Kraken. with L. A.
Barnes and R.aRaymond Pruitt as
guests; Charles A. Peters and Mrs.
Peters aboard the Lynette. Carol
Klotzbach and Mrs. Klotzbach aboard
the Swan, with Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Virts along as guests and a visiting
as deckhand extraordinary; National
Con1dr. j. Edwin Lawton and Secretary
c. P. Benns in the Water Witch. E. G.
and Mrs. Kaiser in the Elizabeth and
Ralph and Mrs Coleman entertaining
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Chamberlin on the
Martha B.
Down past Alexandria and Fort Foote
sailed the fleet. flags gaily flying and
gallant shippers trying to keep forma-
ton in channel somewhat cluttered
UP with tugs and bargeS, excursion
boats and other craft bound up and

alert squadroneSe seeing smoke arising

side the blazing dock and extinguishing
the blaze with the boats fire equipment
while the rest of the fleet stood by to
assist II necessary. After the "Kraken"
had resumed her place at the head of
the procession and the fleet again
started down river. gun was fired from
the fort. There was much conjecture
as to whether it was a salute for the
efforts in saving the Government prop
ertv or for some other reason.
When MattaWoman Creek was reach
ed an impromptu meeting of all hands
was held aboard "Kraken" and elected
Mr.. Nevius as Honorary Fire Marshal
in recognition of his gallantry. Senior
Barnes provided refreshments in the
form Of large sack Of old fashioned
gum drops.
Sunday the commander made a tour
OF inspection of all craft, particular at
tention being given to iceboxes and
larders and it is estimated that at. least
six pieces of cake were given his per-
sonal attention.
The high winds prevented anything
in the nature of racing and sports,
and Colemans and Chamberlins lack
of success as fishermen, brought good
fortune to "FeliX"-the cat aboard

tity Of live minnows that had failed
in their original mission.
Late Sunday anchors were weighed
and the ships returned to Washing

Many known as fine golfers have
blown I'D, not because they lacked
courage. but because they were fighting
defects in form that led to more tension
than they could handle under fire.
They were fighting against themselves
more than against some opponent.
Form proves itself over the long
route-Cobb leading the league in

Much has been said and written
about the importation of foreign tight

the good assignments. One fairly good
reason for this may have been that
so many American fighters refused to
fight, no matter what the pay hap
pened to be. This has been true es-
pecially in the heavyweight department.

n YEW YORK. July % (P).-The
fiistic subdivision known as
VI Max Schmeling had one more
4 worry on his hands today.
Already over his head in legal
entanglementS, the German heavyweight
discovered that some one else had
brought suit for q portion Of Herr Max's
ring earnings In the United States. The
chances are that Max won't worry over
much. on the theory that one more suit
among so many hardly matters.
The latest claim on Schmeling's purse
came In the form of suit. brought by
one Frederick KirSch. asking for 2
per cent of Maxs earnings. KirSch, q
quondam friend of Schmeling and
Arthur Buelow, the boxers repudiated
manager, filed an order signed by Su-
preme Court Justice William Black, re-
quiring the Madison Square Garden
Corporation and Charlie Rose, another
of Schmeling's many managers, to show
cause today why a receiver should not
be appointed to take over per cent
of the boxers earnings in his victory
over Pauline Uzcudun.
KirSch said he had introduced
Schmeling and Buelow to Rose and
that Buelow had assigned 10 per cent
of Something's earnings to Rose, who, In
turn, gave 8 per cent Of this to Ktrsch.
All was serene until Joe Jacobs, now
Schmeling's manager Of choice, en-
tered the scene. Jacobs acquired 3l2
per cent interest in Schmeling from
Buelow and per cent from Rose, pos
sibly because the mathematical problem
was a dificult one, nobody has seen tc
It that Kirsch got his 2 per cent, the
plaintiff asserted.

TO WEAR IT UNTIL
HE GETS HEAVY co
Ready to Forsake Title and
Sign to Fight Sharkey
or SchmeIing.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

BY JOHN j. hOMANO.
n YEW YORK, July 23.-The re-
n port that Tommy Loughran has
renowned the light heavy
4 weight title was bit pre-
mature In a talk with the
writer Tommy repeated the view he has
expressed during the past year-that
he will not give up the title until a
contract calling for a fight with a
prominent heavyweight, Jack Sharkey
preferred, was rendered him and
signed and sealed.
II have six months grace before
will be called upon to defend the title
again. There will be ample time to do
something about it then. One thing
it too strongly, if any match maker will
come forward with contract to night
Sharkey or Schmeling will gladly
give up the 175-pound crown and leave
it for the batch of boys I defeated in
that class to fight it out among them
selves.
Hard to Get Matches.
mo one knows the difficulty had
securing matches when I did not have
a title. Even as a middleweight I was
forced to fight big fellows for small
purses to keep going. The only reason
I have been able to get fights Is that
my opponents figure on luck to lift the
title. Once I give up the title it will
be the same old story Prominent
fighters will have other engagements
whenever a match with me is preached.
In the short time I've had the title
I've fought Mike M'Tigue, Jimmy Slat-
terry, Leo Lomski, Pete LatZo twice,
Mickey Walker and Jimmy Braddock.
My work against these men should en-
title me to match with either Sharkey
or Schmeling. 1 whipped Young Strib-
ling more convincingly than Sharkey
did and whipped Johnny Risko twice
And RiSko was not the punched-out
fighter he was when he fought
Schmeling either"
Loughran stands on his own rights
and has a good case in his favor. 1t
is now up to the promoters of the
country to secure good heavyweight
for the Philadelphia to work on.
Rush to Claim Title.
The concerted rush of contenders
for the supposed vacant title has been
a high light in the news of the day.
Mickey Walker and Jimmy Braddock
stepped forward and claimed the title.
Joe Gould. manager of Braddock,
thinks he should have the title because
Jimmy disposed of Tuffy Griffith and
Jimmy Slattery. But Gould does not
say anything about Leo Lomski, who
beat his man. Walker, who fights Leo
LomSki in Philadelphia next month, has
a better claim to recognition if he wins
over the Aberdeen assassin. Walker
made a far better showing against
Loughran than Braddock did.
Claims mean nothing at the present
writing, however, as Loughran still
reigns and will do so for six months
to come unless that heavyweight match
is forthcoming.

DIAMOND PAST|ME
HAVING GOOD YEAR
Attendance Probably Better
Than for Any Season
Since War.
By GEORGE CHADWICK.

~ ESPITE countless counter -attact-
lions, base ball Is still the
big American Summer hobby.
| IL This is clearly shown in the
1929 season gate receipts to
date all through the land. If the
no indication that 1t will not-both
major leagues will do better than last
year. They may do better, even, than
| In any year since the war.
Naturally some clubs will do better
than others. Local conditions affect
each one. Some clubs may be tail-end-
ers, but putting up such good fight
that the fans flock to see the games
Another may have pennant cinched
nobody Is interested because nothing is
at stake.
This has been true of base ball from
its inception and always will be true.
For years and years there was not q
club in the National League that could
make what-in these days of big money
might be called an honest dollar. II
the club was in small city and could
not seem to get away from the tail end
1t was asked to quit. Nobody thought
anything Of chasing ball club out on
the next train.
II the New York Yankees do not prove
their ability to get into the pennant race
by the middle of September, there
will be a serious shrinkage in gate re-
ceipts. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig may
be great attractions but nobody is going
TO see losing team play, even if both
those famous stars are on the field.
On the other hand. If the Yankees
stick in the fight and manage things so
that the Athletes are not so far in adj
vance. 1t Is likely TO be the largest sea-
ha l.
all set for 1t. but many experts having
cast knowing eyes at the Yankees and
! then at the Athletics and other strong
teams, believe the setting is wasted
They do not think the Yankees can
do It.
In Chicago the Cubs are all set for
lot OF winning base ball in September.
They are as well fixed as they have
ever been since the days when the
helped, by being rivals of Chicago, to
build up interest there. The Cubs are
likely to break all records for attend
ance in the National League this year.
| They have done the same thing in the
past, but it is easily seen this year
that II things break right they will es-
tablish record OF records
A city can have championship team
and yet lose money. That has hap
| pene0 IN New York and in PHILADELPHIA
But in both places base ball interest is
as high right now as ever.
Once upon time the Giants won a
pennant and then for 80 days saw gate
receipts dwindle and dwindle, until
nnally the club was doing no better
than the tail end team in the matter of
attracting dollars It was not that
interests in base ball was lost, but be-
cause New York had the pennant tied
up and put away for the Winter. The
remaining games to be played were
looked upon as just so many practice
games for the world series.

Speaker always seemed to be ambling
under fly balls although two successive
catches might be 100 feet apart. There
are few memories Of Lajoie and Speaker

Some Of the Others.
At the recent open golf champion
"A ship one spectator was comment
ing on the easy way Bobby Jones
seemed to hit a long drive. He was
watching what H. H. Ramsay called
the "syrup-pouring" swing: Apparently
there was no effort at all in a swing
so smooth and well timed. But If he
had happened to forget the swing and
study Jones face at the moment OF
impact he would have drawn a differ
ent idea. Jones had merely covered
tremendous hitting effort with the cloak
of form. His face alone showed the
strain and the power.

fective.
Both Jones and Johnson have always,
at their best, been masters of unhur-
ried smoothness, with the ability to
wait to the final flip for the full APP
plication of power.
Paavo Nurmi was about the first Of
the great runners to get under way
from an erect standing start, discarding
the crouch.
He ran as II that was his natural
gait. He might be breaking q rec
ord, but there was no sign that he
was ever overtrying or that he
was extending himself He ran as
smoothly as the watch that licked
in his hand as now and then he
took his look to see that he had
covered SO many yards in 80 many
seconds.
There was no lurching or straining,
although in the 1924 Olympics he put on
one half-startled burst of speed at the
finish as Willie Rittola made des-
perate effort to close the gap in one
of the longer runs.
Nurmi looked easier on his feet than
any athlete ever saw at any form
of competition After watching him
run before he was burned out one
could understand why he could travel
10000 meters on a blazing hot day
without any sign of willing or weari-
ness or strain.
