No Seconds

There is one point of wres-
ting that to us has it all over
boxing and that is the total
absence at the mat-side of ges-
ticulating, gyrating seconds wav.
ing and wigwagging to the
principals what to do. When
wrestler goes into ring, he
goes in there alone to win, lose
or draw, without any assistance
from his corner. Thus, when
he goes out of the ring, no
hair-brained trainer or handler
or second can leap to his feet
and shout, 1--WE win it," But
rather it is the athlete who
may say. II won" OF course

Three-Point Landing

It was perfect three-point
landing, as we call it in aviation.
That is to say, after such a
period of wrestling, Steele found
himself on his two shoulders and
his nethermost extremity, very
definitely down for the count.
Both gentlemen appeared quite
exhausted at the end. At least.
if they weren't exhausted, they
staggered about, looking for
their corners and their handlers
after a manner very suggestive
OF what we used to call blind
mans buff.
Yes, sir, Londos and Steele
worked hard all evening long
and the crowd appeared quite
satisfied. It was one of the
least uncouth gatherings we
have ever observed at any kind
of a ringside. It was as clean
q bout from beginning to end
as a church deacon could de-
sire. Steele, noted for often re-
sorting to rough tactics, practi-
cally avoided any such outburst,
and Londos' demeanor in the
ring was his customary exem-
plary best.

VI LuSn CdL GSLs
These losses might be laid to
an old Observation-Disclosures
most always comes on a person
or persons after an unusually
exciting time.
The Griffmen have had an
exciting time during the past
month. They have been under
undue strain that Mr.. Reaction
and no one else but has slipped
into the picture.
Manager Johnson's men could
not suffer such a reversal of
form against the same collection
of teams who were easy meat
for them earlier in the season
if the strain connected with win
ming so consistently wasn't at
tached.
Fortunate, However
That accounts for the sudden
letdown in play during the con-
tests on the second swing around
the western sector of President
Harridge'S circuit.
Johnson and his men have
been fortunate on this trip
however. The Philadelphia AS
have encountered almost the
same trouble. They have felt
the strain also and are failing
through a certain reaction
period.
Thus, it may be said safely.
that it's still anybody's pennant
between the GriffS and the AS.
The final winner is still a matter
of many weeks and a matter Of
the survival of the fitteSt.
Plenty of snarling and back
biting is due before the schedule
is finished. There is still lots of
room for comebacks and they are
bound to come real soon. But
at the present time both factions
are suffering, even groaning.
Browns Look Tough
Up to date records of this vest
ern trip reveals seven victories
for the Griffmen in 13 games.
The Philadelphia AS have the
same record in the matter Of
wins and losses.
The Griffmen have the hard
est obstacles in the West before
them, the St. Louis Browns.
The AS found them exceptional
ly tough recently and the GriffS
are likely to find them even
tougher.
There is a possibility that things
may be different here. The Griffs
hope so, for there's no time like
the present for JohnSon's men to
come out of their slump and start
winning again.
The AS will be in Cleveland dur
ing the next three days. Maybe
Manager Peck's Indians will stage
a scalping party and help things
along in WaShington's favor by
upSetting the dope. They probably
won't, as the AS will probably do
all the scalping that is to be done.
It's nice to think that the Indians
will do the scalping. anyway.
On with the battle, beasts. Some
sort of killing awaits.

dition four days in advance OF
his battle with Young Stribiing
at Cleveland Friday night.

road this morning preparing 1or

sparring partners. -.
Max spent a restful day with
Trainer Max Machon on the golt
links yesterday, his mental attl.
tude as amazing as his physical
condition. Max would provide a

Col. Billy Mccartney, cO-prO-
mOter of the title jOust. was be-
sieged with requests from Max
for "some funny stories" and
obliged in typical Mccartney
style, That Max started laugh

gan might be explained by the
fact that he had heard them
all before.
An unheralded visitor arrived
Monday in the person OF pa
Stribling, father and manager OF
the challenger from the Georgia
canebrakes. PA" was an affable
and unruffled guest although he
did not see Schmeling who
played golf most of the day.
Pa" was unperturbed when
told that most of the New York
fight critics here had returned to
Schmeling's camp after visiting
Stribling's headquarters and nad
picked the Teuton to win. He
said:
my boy will win. I can't

conclusion"
It was a cagy "pa" who side
stepped and ducked questions
about Young Stribling's battle
plans. Reports have been heard
that Willie plans whirlwind at
tack in the first five rounds with
a knockout as his objective. Fail
ing that. he is reported to be
planning to coast" the next tive

top speed in an effort to gam

Nv GARRETT WATERS

ST, LOUIS, June 30.-The
Griffmen are all here today,
maybe some of them a little
collapsible because of the heat,
but here just the same to battle
the st. Louis Browns in a series
of three heats, the team standing
up at the end being the winner.
Manager johnson is all heated
up over the prospects of taking
the Browns three times in row.
Back johnson
The Griffmen are here and to
a man back johnson in the hope
that they will be able to swing
their bats and pitch their arms
off so effectively that they will
leave here with at least two vic
tories under their belts.
Carl Fischer will toll today,
Fred Marberry tomorrow, and
Bobby Burke Thursday. Then Al
vim Crowder and Lloyd Brown

the AS at Griffith Stadium.

is a safe probability that he will
stick to the order named above.

short batting slump yesterday, but
it did the Griffmen little good,
as the 9-to-7 score in favor of the
White Sox proves.
Buddy connected for lone
run, a double and two singles in
five trips to the plate.
Keeps CrOwder In
Manager Johnson's men might
have won the game but for a dis
Ciplinary move on the part of
Walter himself
Walter substituted Alvin
CrOwder for Sam Jones on the
mound in the SOx third. The
General did a regular Marberry
in this frame, stopping a Sox
rally short, after two hits and
a walk had counted one run.
But he ran into real trouble in
the next frame and johnson, in.
stead of calling upon a relief
pitcher, made the General stick
it out with the result that the
Sox counted six times off his
weak deliveries.
This put the game far out Of
reach for the Griffmen. who later
made a gallant effort to snatch
it out of the fire. but failed be-
cause the Sox lead was too much
to overcome.
The discipline had it's effect on
Crowder, who hurled the fifth and
sixth innings without being
scored on. Harry Rice hit for
Crowder in the seventh which
event brought Irving Hadley to
the mound to finish out the
string. Hadley, as usual, hurled
excellent ball in his relief role.
Vic Frasier, the lad who put it
on the AS about a week ago,
Weathered the route for the SoX.
He staggered through after pitch
ing alright ball during the early
going. The Griffs combed him
for five runs in the last three in
ningS. one in the seventh, and
two each in the eighth and ninth,
but that big Sox lead was too
much to overcome, that's all.
Cronin Socked out a homer with
Myer on base for the two markers
in the ninth.

They admit Bobby's presence
had a psychological effect on
their play in previous years but
they insist they never entertained
the idea he could not be beaten
Bobby Cruickshank, who in the
1882 national open lost one down
to Jones in the play-off, asserted
the golfers would rather see
Bobby in the tournament than
out of it. He said the pros are
playing better Aolf than ever this

that Jones would not have an easy

Farrell, who proved in one ma.
tional open at least that he could
compete with the great Jones, had
some interesting comments to
make on what the very presence
OF Bobby in the field had upOn
his rivals.
"JOnes was and is a wonder
full golfer" said Farrell. "In
fact, he has proved himself to
be the best golfer in the last
five years.
But Jones was not rnbeat-
able, although the general pub
lie just agOut got that idea. Yet
he did have a psychological ef-
feet on the other players. They
were always asking: Who will
beat Jones this year?'
"They gave that angle so
much consideration they were
not at their best.
They watched Jones too
much. They wanted to know
his score. They couldn't forget
him. Still, as great as Jones
was, / never felt he was any
thing like a sure thing. / felt
that in an open championship
others had just as good a chance
to win"
Farrell expressed the opinion
that this would be one of the
greatest national opens N history.
He said he thought the galleries
would be just as large as when
Jones was an attraction. He
pointed out that the Ryder Cup
matches in Columbus last week
drew gallery of $4,000 specta'
