IN HE only way to beat Jim Lcndos
taking it from tips furnished
by such wrestlers as Jim Nc
Millen, Rudy Dusek and Mike
Romano-is to wait for the break" Of
the match and then capitalize on it.
Rudy Dusek may be kidding himself,
but the Nebraskan, who arrived late
last night, has it figured out. Londos,
he points out, wins NEST Of his matches
in an hour or less. Rarely does he take
longer.
Il think have proved that can
stay over an hour with the best of
them" said Dusek. ''Lonos has been
almost every night. Still he's too
strong to go after with the idea OF
finishing him right of the bat. 1t
can't be done. But by carrying along
for an hour or more and Furnishing
him. may get him. Anyway, it'll be
a long match"
The meeting tonight at Grifith Sta
dunn between Lcndos and one of the
most durable matmen in the game,
Dusek, promises TO draw throng of
fans
OuSek ana AOOQOS ara Two OF the
most finished wrestlers in the game.
They are capable of attaching any grip
or hold effectively on an opponent.
LondoS' pet hold Is ms airplane spin,
but this is not much more than an in
volved body slam, with no chances taken
Of getting hurt with a miss. Dusek's
rocking split is said to be the most
painful grip in the game. In addition,
the NebraSkan has another speciality
rarely used by another, the back body
drop, which. it is said, gives victim
only a fifty-fifty chance of falling with
out receiving a broken collarbone. Only
once has Dusek used that here and that
was against Billy Bartush, who sue
cumbed two minutes after the drop.
Paul Jones, says Dusek, came closest
to any wrestler of pinning Londos.
Jones, wrestling DuSek here, secured
his hook scissors on the claimant of
the title, and began the roll, necessary
to make the grip effective. Londos,
however. went over with him when
Jones rolled too far, breaking away.
Tonight's feature will be supplement-
ed by bouts between Sander Szabo and
Tiger Nelson, Dick Daviscourt and
Frank Brunowitz, Son Jennings and
Oscar Nygrec, Mario CYCLIC and Joe
Turner, the promoter. and Cyclone Will
liams and Firro Wilcox.
Ernest Roeber. N. B. A. referee, will
oficiate the main bout with Benny
Bortnick and Cyclone Burns handling
the prelims. The first bout will start
at $50.

CHOICE OVER JEBY
Winner of Bout Tonight May

N YEW YORK, June 1.-Two mid
nj dleweights who owe large
part of their important roles in
the current ratings to victories
over Len Harvey. the British champion,
clash in Madison Square Garden to-
night to see which one will take an
other step up the championship ladder
Vince Dundee, the Baltimore lad, who
is something of veteran, although he
never before has figured in the title
talk. and the up-and-coming Ben Jeby
of New York meet in the 10-round fea-
ture bout.
Dundee, with two victories over Har-
vey and one over Jeby Is strong IA
vorite at odds Of about to S. The
winner may or may not earn some rec
ignition as middleweight champion in
place of Mickey Walker. now declared
null and void because OF his failure to
defend the title.
sSeveral reports of hot" battle have
gone the rounds after the State Ath-
letic Commissions threat to cancel the
fight unless the board bicycle racing
track that has been built around the
Garden received the approval of fire
and building inspectors. But the saucer
has been certified as safe, and the
Summer shows will go on.
Another middleweight hereunder is
scheduled for the Semi-final bout on
the program, Ignaco Ara of Spain meet
ing Buck McTiernan of Pittsburgh.

THOUGH their cause seems
~ more or less hopeless in the
~ face of the Athletics phe-
nomenal streak, Walter john
sons Washington Senators are living
up to their promise to give the cham
pions a run for their money in the
American League.
While the New York Yankees have
dropped back the last fortnight, the
Senator's have plugged doggedly along,
winning 10 of their last IA engagements
and keeping within hailing distance of
the fast-traveling leaders. They are
firmly established in second place, five
games behind the Mackmen and two
ahead Of the Yankees.
The Senators, in fact, have done as
well as johnson predicted they would
when he envisioned a pennant this
Spring. His only mistake was in hgur-
ing the Athletics were due to burn out
bearing. The champions displayed
no symptoms of slipping yesterday as
they registered their twenty-third vic
tory in their last IS starts. Lefty Grove,
pitching his eighth straight win. let
the Chicago White Sox down with six
hits and beat them, 2 to /.
Washington kept pace with its sec
ond straight over the visiting firemen
from Detroit, also by to l margin,
due largely to young Lefty Burke'S
three-hit pitching effort.
Joe VoSmik, rookie outfielder. cracked
home run in the eleventh inning to
give the Cleveland Indians their ninth
straight victory at the expense of the
Boston Red Sox, to 4. The Sox had
scored four times in the eighth to tie
the count.
The Western clubs gained an even
break for the DAY when the st. Louis
Browns, personally conducted by Oscar
Melillo, beat out an 8-to-6 triumph
over the Yankees. The Browns second
sacker drove in four runs with two
singles. a double and home run, the
latter his eighth consecutive hit in two
days.
Matters stood all square after two
days of National League warfare west
of the AlleghenieS. The New York
Giants came back to lick st. Louis,
9 to S, and again climb within a game
and a half of the top, and the Chicago
Cubs staged iast-inning rally to down
Brooklyn, 9 to 8, and even their series.
Crafty Clarence Mitchell went the
route against the Cardinals, while the
Giants piled up IA hits off Jess Haines
and four hurlers who followed him.
The Robins contracted bad case of
the fumbles in the last inning to break
their f1ve-game winning streak. Muffs
Of easy rollers by Wally Gilbert and
Fresco Thompson. combined with hits
by Cuyler and Hensley,i allowed the
Cubs to score the tying and winning
runs off Jack Quinn. Babe Herman

NO-CODDL|NG PLAN
PAYING DIVIDENDS
Grove, EarnshaW and Wal
berg Beating Practically
All Rivals Regularly.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

"A 4 ANAGERS who are bosSing
mn teams other than the Phil
l VI adelphia Athletics look
wise these days and insist
that Connie Mack will pitch his
good pitchers into pulp before
mid-August and will have nothing
left with which to mosey on after
that. Connie Mack doesn't seem
to think SO.
The wise old mentor Of the AS may
be encouraged and Allotted in that by
Kid Gleason, a member of his staff Of
coaches, because the kid had rubber
arm when he was pitcher and could
start one day, start the next if he had
to do SO and wouldn't have baked
greatly on the third day. He was
tough in muscle and enduring in spirit.
He thinks modern pitchers have been
coddled too much.
The pitching staff of the Athletics Is
an interesting study this year. When
the players were in training in Florida
some one happened along and men
toned that Lefty Grove made his 1880
record at the expense Of the Boston
Americans, who lost seven games to
him last year.
When Grove argues. he is vehement
about it. Maybe I did beat EN- he
said. But do you suppose I'd let up
on 'em If had 'em beaten? Maybe
I'd have won seven more games from
EN- if I had the chance. You wait till
this year. I'll beat ell Of 'em. If any
CT those guys on other clubs think III
be easy for 'em, let 'em meet me-"
At that time Grove was pitching bet
ter in Spring training than he ever
had pitched before and practically as
well as he had been pitching in the
middle Of the previous season.
Groves Record to Date.
Note his record this year. He has
won two from Washington, two from
New York, one from Boston. one from
Cleveland. one from Detroit and one
frcm Chicago. That is mixing them
well enough for any pitcher. He hasn't
won from st. Louis, but there is time.
When the Athletics were training
there were rumors, graveyard rumors.
that Earnshaw was out of condition
and would be unable to do as well for
the Athletics as he did in 1880. Earn
shaw has won two from New York three
from Boston. one from Detroit and one
from Chicago. That is good enough.
Only Washington and New York have
beaten him. If that is the product Of
a weakened arm, some other pitchers
ought to weaken theirs as quickly az
possible.
The one pitcher about whom Mack
was concerned was RUDE Walberg. He
did not come around well enough to
suit the big-hearted old manager.
Seems to me-" said Connie, puzzling
his brows, that something Is the mat
ter with him, yet he says there isn't.
Says he is just slow in getting started"
Walberg has won two games from
Washington, two from New York, one
from Detroit, two from Chicago and
one from st. Louis. Thus three pitchers
of the Athletics have won "a games in
about weeks of base ball If they
keep that rate up they will win 20
games during the season, or very close
to It.
If all managers had pitchers as good
as those three the fans would be thrilled
By the best pitching duels that any
generation of fans ever saw The
alarmists still are talking-and the AS
aces still winning games.

Pullman Nine, Now Scattered,
Planning to Assemble Again

HOUGH they are separated and
opposing each other this season,
the nine diamonders who last
year made up the Champion
Pullman nine, winner of 80 straight
games, do not intend to let the what
has been tagged "Washington's hardest
hitting sandlot team" be dissolved.
It may be too late for the proposed
assemblage this season, as far as league
play is concerned, but Harry Hail. who
led Pullman to the Terminal League
and eastern railroad championships
last year, Is determined to again reor-
ganize the team.
Pullman's feat Of 80 straight games
was started near the end of the first
half of the Terminal League last sea-
son After sweeping through the re-
mainder of the league schedule unde-
feated the Pullmans cleaned up in
the city title series and then continued
against the champion railroad teams of
New York, Philadelphia and Whining
ton.
Heinie Webb, veteran Union Printer
pitcher and as sage a sandlot observer
as can be found hereabout, declared
that for hitting alone, the Pullmans
probably were the greatest aggregation
ever assembled here.
Most Of the members Of this swatting
team are performing with various In
duStrial League teams, Babe Capper be-
ing the only one in another loop. Clap

is, should be pretty we'll
cleared up after tonight's 10-round
bout in Madison Square Garden

The winner will be- entitled to bill

at the class limit.
1t must be laugh to the CID
