 The big Italian has reserved a suite at the Hotel Bond but there IS some question as to just how to park all of his six feet seven inches. Willard Rogers says the hotel man agement may have to put two couches together or have Primo sleep sideways

 Carnera's managers, who are pointing him all the time for d shot at the heavyweight championship, believe Primo can knockout all three of these boxers, although each of the bouts is limited to two rounds
 None of the three is expected to give Camera any trouble, but should offer enough resistance to make the three abbreviated battles of in terest

IN EAGEG CAME MA1c4
 
INGRAM IS SIGNED
 FOR FIVE YEARS
Harmony Apparently Restored
 Among Giants Officials

New York. septH UP>-John J. McGraw has signed a contract to manage the New York Giants for five more years. and harmony apparent ly has been restored among the owners and officials of the club.
 With McGraw absent from the team for many weeks, many conflict state of affairs among the Giants officials and McGraw's future plans.
 To quiet these rumors, Charles A. Stoneham, president and principal stockholder of the club. officially an- nounced yesterday:-
 CD That McGraw had signed a five year contract, beginning in 1881.
 CD That McGraw's absence from the club was due to i'll health.
 (3) That McGraw was under doc tors orders to keep off the bench.
 (D That McGraw intends to f1n- ish hisa baseball career as Ma tional Hague manager.
 (O That McGraw has been in constant touch with the Giants while on the road as we'll as at the Polo Grounds.
 Under the terms of McGraw's new contract. it IS understood that he will draw yearly salary of S70,000. an increase of s1o,ooo over his pres ent contract McGraw's present contract IS said to pay him s40,000 as manager of the Giants and S20,- 900 as vice president of the club.
 Although McGraw is not confined to his bed. it is doubtful if he will assume active direction of the Giants from the bench again this season. For the past three years McGraw has been forced to absent himself from the Giants bench because of illness or injuries. In 1927 Rogers Hornsby had charge of the team in McGraw's absence. Last year Ray Schalk managed the team, while McGraW was away. Now Dave Ban- croft former Giants shortstop and one time manager of the Boston Braves. is running the Giants, all though receiving daily orders from McGraw via long distance telephone.
 The rumors concerning McGraw's retirement started when the veteran manager failed to accompany the Giants on their final western trip. McGraw's absence at that time was reported as due to personal mat ters."
 Not until yesterday when Stone ham announced that McGraw had signed a new long-term contract did 1t become known that the veteran manager was under doctors orders to remain off the bench. It is known. however, that during his ab- sence from the team, McGraw ap- peared at the race track at Saratoga Springs. This was taken to mean in some quarters that he had defi- nitely lost interest in the Giants and planned to transfer his services else where.
 In making the announcement of McGraw's new contract. Stoneham said that he had not intended to take up the matter of renewing Me GraW's services until at the end of the present season.
 Tn view of the rumors that Mir McGraw intended not only to leave the Giants but transfer his activi- tles to the American league" Stone ham said, MT. McGraw and MT. Stoneham have agreed to this new long term contract"

has a. 72 par which is problem enough for the best.
 The Western was the last major event Sarazen needed to complete his cycle. He has now taken. every tournament of every importance at least once. and holds two triumphs in the National P. G. A, having top ped the field in 1922 and 1928. That Fresh Meadow is his home course only serves to make Gene that much more of d threat.
 Close behind Sarazen in the pur- suit will doubtless be a group made up Of Harry Cooper, Bill Mehlhorn. Horton Smith, Al Watrous. The Es- pinosas, Al and Abe, may have a word 10 inject at critical moment. as should Ed Dudley, Tony Manero and one or two others of the youth fuis.
 Cooper is bound to be a nuisance to anyone's aspirations if he only can hold together the gunnery that brought him the St. Paul Open, an event which preceded the Western by a few days The former Cali fornian whacked eight strokes off par on the course. and did it under weather conditions that were none too favorable and with a money hungry field snapping at his heels.
 Here again, Sarazen bumped into the picture, setting new course rec ord of 67, but he was unable to match Cooper's steadiness. Harry's four rounds were 69-7S-6S-70, It was tho best golf he has exhibited since 1927, when he lost to Tommy Arr mour in the National Open playoff at Oakmont. At that time Cooper was mashie D'Artagnan, vain and naughty and unwilling to give the necessary time and effort on game that needed only these things to bring it to championship propor- tions.
 A succession of reversals in the seasons which followed seem to have shaken Cooper out of his lethargy. Those critics who have watched him this summer say he is stroking with a rhythm and confidence which should keep him in his rightful place near the peak of the professional world.

SOKOLS AND CORBINS TO
 BATTLE IN SECOND GAME
Senior City and Industrial Baseball League Champions Getting Ready for Another Series, Contest Satur-
 day Afternoon = Municipal Leaguers Ready to
 Even Up Count-P & F. Followers Confident That
 Their Team Will Take Two Straight-Start at 3.


 So confident is the P. & F. Corbin baseball team that it will take the Sokols into camp two straight games when they clash in the second tilt of the championship series Saturday afternoon at o'clock, that Manager Joe Jackson has given the Sokols permission to get any pitcher they want from the ranks of the City league.
 The Sokols were forced to ask Commissioner James J. Naughton to intercede for them in this matter because of the fact that Partyka. their pitching ace, has been ordered to take complete rest from pitch- ing by physician whom he visited yesterday. His arm has gone bad and if he wants to save it, he will be forced to take a long layoff.
 Commissioner Naughton com- municated the plight of the Sokols to Bryce L. Long, secretary of the Industrial Athletic comDdttee ard he immediately telephoned to Joe Jack son, manager of the P. 6 F. Corbin team.
 Manager Jackson, displaying the keenest sort of good sportsmanship, immediateN replied: The .Sokols can get any pitcher they want from the ranks of the hurlers in the Sen- for City league. The Corbin team can take, care of any of them"
 Although no announcement has been made by the Sokols' manage ment as to which man will be select- ed, it is almost certainty that Brooks, ace of the Pirates pitching staff or Tommy Blanchette, main stay of the West Ends, will be SC. cured, if possible. Brooks will prob- ably be first choice.
 The two teams, will battle it out in the second game of thes series for the championship of the city, Satur- day afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Corbin team confidently expects to end the series at that time and elim- mate any chance of there being third game. while the Sokols ara just as confident that they will even the count.
 The Sokols, counted as the under- dogs in the betting last week, figure that they played on even terms with the Industrial champions and they figure that any nervousness that might have been present last Tues- day night, will have disappeared by Saturday afternoon.
 The game will start promptly at 5 o'clock with Crowley and Lynch um- piring. i- s..
