Nationwide Recognition as Champion For Jnck-Mar
Kid Yankee Finger Hats White Sox

Gomez. juvenile left handler
of the Yankees, is a man Of
broad understanding. He has
the biggest dogs in the big
leagues. He also has fine
curve ball, a good fast one and
a rafting change of pace. He
faced the Griffmen for five in
nings a week ago today, allowing
four hits and yesterday halted the
White Sox with but five hits, the
Yanks winning, 4 to !.
Gomez feet have attracted
much attention since he joined
the club-but he takes the big:
footed honors rather lightly
and in stride.
"I got those big dogs from
having my feet constantly in
the stirrups when / was q kid"
he explains.
Gomez, you see, comes from
cattle-raiSing stock, and for
years travelled around the coun-
try, with his fathers rodeo
troop. He can handle a lariaC
almost as well as he can curve
ball, and his bareback riding,
by his own admission, is a lot
better than his hitting.

The individuality Of trying
to kid a professional kidder was
established in a recent diff
ference between q member Of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment and Senior AL Scnacht,
member Of the washington Ball
Club.
Schacht was driving in the
down. town section Of the city
one night recently, and for
one reason or another didn't
beat the green light at a traffic
intersection.
Hearing a shrill whistle. he
was aware that perhaps it
might be to him the call was
being made, and glancing
around, he saw d John Law
approaching him.
"Whatsa matter? Are y'u
blind? Can't y'u see?" demand
ed the officer Of the law in his
surliest accent, and Schacht. be-
ing enough of a wise-cracker
himself to know it is always
best to let a smart guy have
his say and cool off, before
cracking back, just gave his
captor all the rope he. wanted.
"Lemme see your permit"
the bluecoat said, in the gen.
tlemanly, diplomatic manner so
characteristic of Washington
policemen when making arrests
particularly for trivial offenses.
Schacht pulled out his card
case and leisurely enough
thumbed through his member
ship cards which include every
thing from the B. P. Q. E., to
the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Kippered Herring,
and couldn't seem to find his
permit.
Common, common: S n a D
into it," admonished the officer,
"or I'll make you put up col
lateral"
IT may put up collateral"
replied the smirking Mr..
schacht, but I won't put it UP
with you"
"Oh, no?" countered the cop.
ooh. mol" retaliated Schacht,
couldn't trust you with it,"
About that time Schacht dis
covered his permit on the very
top Of the stack and blithely
handed it oyer to his accuser,
thinking perhaps the cop had
possibly heard of him at some
time or another.
No expression of enlighten-
ment or recognition radiated
from the officers countenance
as he Scrutinized the permit in
the half-dark of the street, and
stepping over the curb under
the glow of an arc-light he con-
tinued his inspection Of the
card.

Schacht, with. a little more
sarcasm. than charity, in his
voice. Are y'u blind? Can't

BOARDS
To Line Up
WITHIN. !.
BY DAVIS J. WALSH


NEW YORK, Mey 6.-Nation-
wide recognition Of the Sharkey-
Schmeling winner on June IL as
the man who is to preserve the
dynasty of the worlds heavy
weight championship virtually Is
an assured fact today, following
a discreet inquiry among the
spokesman for boxing control
throughout America.
In fact, when the official poll
is made public, it viii be found
that the enterprise has been Off
cially countenanced on practically
an international scale, with only
the State Of Pennsylvania and
possibly the British board Of
boxing control as disSenters.
This almost conclusive APP
prevail, hardly anticipated by the
Muldoon-T unney committee when
it first nominated itself as the
body that was to tell everybody
what they-meaning the latter
had decided to do. couldn't have
been timed better by the A. A. U.
It comes OppOrtunely with
the departure today of the
Herr Schmeling for his train
ing camp at EndicOtt, N. Y,
and the announcement from
Boston that Sharkey will
begin talking himself into his
best possible condition here
within q week.
The first step in the program
of national approval will be
taken today when the New
York Boxing Commission will re-
ceive the Herr Something's plea
for restoration of his license.
The board is obligated to stand
by its own professional Godchild
and so it will file no demurrer.
although as matter of personal
taste it probably would prefer
to file some handy paperweight
in the middle Of the Herr
Something's haircut.
The rest Of it will be a simple
matter. California, I under
stand. already has committed It.
self to stand by the Sharkey-
Schmeling decision. MaSsa-
chusettS, Of course, can and will
do no less its accredited repre-
sentative, Sharkey. AS for Illinois,
it is understood to be ready to
go along with the verdict, pro-
vided the fight turns up a con-
elusive winner, which is alto.
gether likely. This pair won't 60
Is rounds without somebody
being dashed in a most indicate
way.
Illinois is affiliated with the
local commission. So are Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut. Rh o d e
Island, Pennsylvania. Kansas,
Michigan and New Hampshire.
Also the Dominion of Canada,
Mexico, Cuba and the British
board of boxing control. This
means that their obligations to
the New York board are very
urgent, provided they don't elect
to ignore them altogether.
Pennsylvania already seems
to have decided upon this
course for the June IL fight.
In view Of their fretfuI reac-
tiOns, to the Sharkey-ScOtt
incident, the British probably
wifi do much the same. The
rest of them are expected to
line up behind the band
wagon.
AS for the National Boxing
Association, it also is believed to
be feeling very tolerant toward
the fight, largely because it has
no candidate of its own. The
approval of the N. B. A. is very
important, for it will control box
ing in something like 26 States
just as soon as it finds a way
to control itself.

EXTRA WORK
ORDERED FOR
THEGOOSE
Nv BOB THAYER

Extra batting ticks will be IN
order for Outfielder Goose Cos
lin when morning practices are
resumed at Griffith Stadium
today.
Manager Walter Johnson's
siege gun has been outstanding
in the slump which has recently
gripped the Griffmen. And John,
son believes that extra work is
the tonic Goslin needs.
Although the Goose is taking
ais natural cut and getting plenty
Of power behind his swing, his
timing is bad. Consequently he
is grounding out and popping up
consistently.
eve need Goslin's hitting
badly now" johnson con-
fessed today. "It looked for
q while as If he had hit his
stride. Since he has gotten
u into q rut.
"GOOse isn't the only one
who should work overtime,
however. That's why I'm
calling my entire squad out.
When a team is losing, the
best way to snap out of it is
to put i'm time on the play
ing field"
In the meantime, Goslin, him.
self, is making every effort to
get back into stride. An earn
estneSS that should mean much
marks his present attitude.
"SOme day soon III get in
tune and surprise every.
body" the Salem Slugger re-
marked this morning. 'T'm
in good physical shape now.
A little more work should
set me off Just right.
''FOr the first time since
1926 feel like my old self
confidence and everything.
It's simply a case Of getting
started with me. Once l
start swinging I'll be hard to
stop"
Goslin along with Muddy Ruel.
Benny Tate and a few others
worked out yesterday morning in
. special drill supervised by Man
ager johnson. Walter personally
pitched to the hitters.
"Uhen actual labor is
what's needed to bring my
men into gear I'm always
willing to do my part" Wal
ter grinned through beads of
perSpiratiOn after yesterdays
workout. "It'S my job to
win all games and until we
get some base hits we can't
expect to get very far"
Although most of the Wash
ington Club players are in the
doldrums extensively, two old war
horses, Sammy Rice and Joe
Judge, are hitting as robustly as
ever.
Rice yesterday hit safely in his
sixteenth consecutive game when
he laced out a single in the first
inning of the Washington-D Detroit
contest. He later gathered a pair
more safetieS.
Joe Cronin is showing flashes
Of unmistakable brilliance, and
Buddy Myer is batting above par,
but OsSie Bluege, Sam West,
Goose Goslin, George Loepp.
Muddy Ruel, Benny Tate and
other dependables must bear down
until they get going.
Buddy Myer will return to
fourth spot in the hitting order
today when the Washington club
renews its. feud with Rucky Har-
ris' Detroit Tigers at American
League Park.

BOMBAY, May IS. Bombay

much quieter mood today after
the tumultuous and bloody rioting
which kept the city on tender hooks
for the past two days.
The rest, of India prepared to
share the comparative calm, judg
ing from the absence of reports tell
ing of serious disturbances in the
rebellion movement. The intellude
was used for checking over the cas-

made Monday and Tuesday two of

Across the Bay of Bengal, how
ever. in Burma, communal riotin,,
of the past two days was continued
at Rangoon, despite The presence of
British troops. Several Europeans
were reported attacked, although
none were among the many dead.
The total dead in India and Burma

3 were killed at Rangoon in the
street fighting between striking
dock workers and strike breakers.
Fifteen Indian coolie women were
among those killed az .,angoon.

Four of the dead were Mohamme-
das slain here in the two days of
rioting which began when a soldiers
dog was kicked by native. The
National Congress claimed two other
natives were slain.
OF the remaining dead, IA were
killed at Dacca during bloody

killed at Mardan, in the Peshawar
district. Injuries reported from the

Despite the quiet in Bombay to-

foreigners had been inflamed to
