Cobb Baseball Rumor Vies With Dempsey's
 Ring Return Repeater

of inside baseball, Cobb is better fitted for the swivel chair of club president than the hard bench of a club manager. The very fact that he was such a great player works against his chances of suc- cess as a handler of men.
 Most of Cobb's troubles as man. ager of the Detroit Tigers arose from his demands that his players perform their feats like Cobb in his prime. What we mean is the man insisted that Oscar Me- Noop out in center field go and get them like the Cobb of 1915, say, and bat like the Cobb of any year you care to name.
 Ty never did seem to realize that this was just about as absurd as asking Midget Wolgast to per form like Dempsey.
 They Came Along
 Even so, Cobb didn't go so bad with the Tigers. He lifted them from sixth place in 1921 to third in 1922. The following year found the Tigers runner-up to the cham pion Yankees. They slipped to third place in 1924, to fourth in 1925 and ended sixth in 1926.
 Perhaps Ty has softened bit since his Detroit days and will be satisfied with a player if he hits 1850 and makes no more than two errors in a season.

HERSHEY BATTLES
 BRANCH SATURDAY
ColOred CIOuters in Semi= final at Walnut Beach Lewis and LedOuix RematChed

Bridgeport, Aug 12.-Boxing critics allege that there is no such thing as draw in the fistic game, claiming that either warrior must have an edge no matter how close their battle may be. but at Walnut Beach last Saturday night the ref cree could not figure along those lines.
 digger Mccarthy of New Haven was the arbiter in the eight round contest between Leo LeDouix of Stamford and when he turned his scorecard to the boxing commis- sion it showed that he had cred ited both men with 35 points.
 The decision was given to Le- Douix and Mccarthy explained that the verdict was awarded sole ly on low punch landed by Lewis in the fourth round, that nearly put the Worcester lad out of com mission.
 Saturdays battle was good from start to finish that Matchmaker Al Caroly of the seashore stadium de- cided to bring the boys back this week in a return affair, and he has added two rounds to the encounter in order to allow the rivals plenty of chance to settle their grude.
 Emry Branch, the stiff puncher from Hartford, who scored kayo last week, will meet Kid Hershey, the Brass City clown, who defeated Mickey Travers twice at the Beach this season.

YANKEE INFIELDER NEARING RECORD
 SET BY SCOTT
Gehrig Needs Two More Seasons of Consecutive Play to Surpass Mark Standard Is 1907 Games

New York, Aug 12.-Whether or not Lou Gehrig can ever equal the home run records of his senior partner in the Yankees all-time slugging champion doubles team, Babe Ruth, he has an excellent chance to become the all-time durability champion, to play greater number of consecutive league games than any other man ever has accomplished.
 The excellence of his prospects in this direction is based on his rugged health, which so far has kept him free from illness and in- juries serious enough to keep him out of action; his youth compared to other aspirants for continuous service honors, and the fact that his standard of play Is so nigh that he seems in no remotest de- gree likely to be benched for in- efficient performance.
 Only two players have records longer than Gehrig's current string, and if the Yankee tlrst- baseman continues without interruption un- til next July he will have reduced the fiel dto one. He has still two more full seasons to go before he can reach the mark set by Everett Scott, the durability champion, but if he plays out the allotted string of Yankee games this year he will be only about sixty games short of tying the second longest record for durability, now held by his team mate, Joe SeWell.
 Gehrig has the longest uncom- pleted string of consecutive games. Starting June l, 1925, he had play ed in 886 American league games without missing, up to the start or this season. Scott's record, which ended about a month before Geh- rigs began, was 1907 games. Sewells, which terminated April 30, 1880, ran to 1,1O3.
 Failing health because of ad- yancing age brought about Scotts Sewells string was halt ed by illness. Eddie Brown, former National league outfielder, who went SIS games up to June 2, 1928, was benched for weakness in hit ting.
 None of these factors seems like " to Stop 'eiii '5' ii@ 70 So1e' robustly healthy and has been leading both major leagues in home run hitting most of the current season, after finishing a close sec- ond to Simmons for the league batting championship last year.
 The danger he has to fear most Is some accident on the field of play, a broken bone or a muscle tear. To offset this possibility he is of unusually rugged build, with big joints, stocky legs and shoul- ders, and maintains rigorous train ing rules throughout the year.

|SUCDINIS SISTERS
 CAPTURES LAURELS| IN CHASE MEET

Three stocky young damsels from the Brooklyn section of the city bearing the family name of Suginis invaded Chase Park pool yesterday afternoon, donned their sun-tan suits, competed in the annual swimming meet for girls and swan off with partically all the honors. Peggy, the eldest of the three, represented the senior end of the family, Anna, the junior branch and Mary, the midget division.
 Peggy copped first honors in the 20-yard backstroke, 80-yard froe style, 20-yard breast stroke and diving. In other words she took first in every senior event. Anna managed to win the entire four events in the junior group, namely, diving, 40-yard free style, 20-yard back stroke and 20-yard breast stroke. Little Mary upheld the family laurels taking first place in the midget diving the third in the 20-yard crawl.
 Following the meet the compet- ing mermaids and onlookers were the guests of Directors Eddie Kee- nan, Mrs Luddy, Kels Brennan and Mary Hannah and were treated to an abundant supply of ice cream and cake donated by local mer- chants.
 The judges were George King ston, Revill Fox, Walter Backman and Jacob Reiger. Jack Luddy and Eddie DiNapoli kept score while Eddie Keenan announced the con testants in both English and Litak.

And, as usually is the case when "Jabbering Jimmy" is engaged in any activity whether it be promot- ing prize fights or friendly game of golf, it Is words rather than fur which has started to fly.
 Not content with almost sup planting Madison Square Garden in the 1881 outdoor boxing pro- gram, Johnston to-day opened a new offensive with bitter attack on President William F. Carey of the Garden and the announcement that he would continue his promo tional activities throughout the forthcoming indoor season.
 Blowing on Steam.
 'T do not intend to allow Madi- son Square Garden, Billy Carey, the 600 millionaires, or anyone else to drive me out" said John ston. "Im in the business of pro- noting professional boxing to stay and Madison Square Garden and Square Shooting Bill' will discover this if he sticks around long enough. However, if the Gar den continues to go down hill the wa yit has for the last year they'll have to turn the place into a ga- rage.
 As proof of his intention to re- main in the promotoinal field, Johnston announced that he had taken over St Nicholas rink and would begin indoor activities there after he has completed his outdoor projects at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, which include the Campolo- -Schaaf fight on August 27, and a "heavy- weight championship" bout be- tween Jack Sharkey and Primo Camera, Sept 23.
 Garden Owns CampolO.
 Johnston's announcements were regarded as @ counter offensive to the Gardens efforts to block the Campolo- Schaaf bout by signing Campolo to meet Charley Retzlaff of Duluth in a 12-round bout at the Polo Grounds, September 3. The Garden, which has yet to stage an outdoor show in New York this season despite it's options on the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium, previously blocked Johnston's plans for a Jack Sharkey- Primo Camera match in June and is re- ported ready to go to court in an attempt to enforce its exclusive contract to Campolo's services. Campolo' signed for the Schaaf bout before the Garden suggested the RetZlaff match.

NEW BLEACHERS TO BE INSTALLED AT
 HAMILTON PARK

The Brooklyn Royal Giants, the worlds colored champions, who a few weeks az ocame to town and decisively whipped the Brooklyn A. c. of the City league, return to Hamilton park Friday night for what is the most talked about sporting event of the season. Ever since Circus Country" Brown and his pals made their debut at the out east ball yard, the fans have formance. In response to this demand, William J. Derwin of the park department announces that the colored boys will be back on Friday night in another game for the benefit of the Waterbury Anna teur baseball federation.
 Brown Back Again.
 Derwin selected George Tracey's Prospect Garage club to battle the Giants this time and MT Tracey condescended, promising to have his regular array ready to face the pro outfit. The fans have seen and heard Nick Kenny of the Clowns, they have been amused by the colorful bearded beauties of the House Of David, but it appears that no one in their estimation has come up to MT Brown and his side splitting antics which featured the first ex- hibition contest here several weeks ago.
 -. .... Extra Police. .... ....
 Anticipating the largest crowd that has yet witnessed g. twilight feature at the park, the park de- partment has planned special seat ing arrangements. The bleacher seats will be set up in center and right field so that every fan will be provided with seating accom- modatoins. Exrta police will be on hand to handle the crowd and everything but parking space will be guaranteed.

 New York, Aug 12-(UP)- Pardon our yawn, but we have just been informed that Tyrus Raymond Cubb is dickering with some major league owner concern ing managers job.
 Such information is every bit as startling as last years beef prices, new swimming record, or another Dempsey comeback. For Cobb, according to the latest official fg- ures (for release next McKinley's birthday has, within the last five years, entered into negotiations with every club in the land, with the possible exception of the corn bread center terrors.
 Last year about this time Cobb was already to take charge of the Philadelphia Phillies. Or was it the Cincinnati Reds? The year be- fore that the one-time peerless Georgian was all set to buy the Rochester Redwings' franchise. Sandwiched in between these deals were negotiations for half the clubs in the Pacific league, the Atlanta Crackers in the Southern associa- .IlON, dHu Inc mdSOh VOSASS All the Sally loop.
 An old Story
 Cobb "purchased" the Crackers so many times one Atlanta paper kept a streamer reading, Cobb to Buy Crackers" always in stock. The streamer was used, on the average, twice a year. The present owner of the Crackers escapes our mind, but 1t isn't and never has been Mister Cobb.
 Despite his many cries of "Wolf wolf" Cobbs thousands of friends hope the Georgia peach means il this time. For with his dash and fire, the man would add a lot of needed color to a game that is becoming more of business and less of sport with the passing of each season.
