The invaders looked particularly
good in q few limbering up spins

the w. C. C. rooters look gloomier
than ever.
It is the first time in more than
is years that there is a genuine
feeling of uneasiness regarding the
locals victory in their own event.
Even in 1929, when YOnkers
came within a point of snatch.
ing victory away from the Wash.
ingtOnianS, the rOOterS were con.
fident of ultimate triumph,
though by a narrow margin.
The invading clubs are the

organizations, Pc ndle ton and
Yonkers, New York's best, and
Dunkalk, boss group of Baltimore

Vance was ordered to take his

Mcguire lining one out that Bis

Sheely to score the winning run.
The unaccountable Robins, like
the Giants, appear to have muffed
their grand chance for the lead
and the pennant. They play q
double header in Boston today and
might pull the thing out OF the
fire with a twin win.

WATCH KEARNS
SAYS BUCKLEY

NEW YORK, July 11.-Johnny
Buckley, manager of JACK Shar'
key, charged today that Jack
Kearns, pilot Of Mickey Walker,
is the man responsible for the
wave of low punching and cries
of fowl" that swept the boxing
game until the New York Athletic
Commission stepped in with its
mo foul" rule.
"Jack Dempsey was a no
tOriOuSly low puncher," said
Buckley. Dempsey used to
shoot his left hook low and
then cover up this illegal
smash by throwing a right
hand punch to the head.
'Tt was Kearns who mapped
out this program for Dempsey.
The former champion used ut
least 10 low punches against
Sharkey. Kearns is already
talking about the body attack
Walker is going to use against
Sharkey. He is merely using
this talk as a smoke screen for
Mickey to punch low.
"Kearns' chatter about Sharkey
being q foul fighter is for the
same purpose. He wants the
crowd to keep watching
Sharkey's punches, while Walker
lets his socks drop into foul
territory.
II am going to ask the New
York Athletic Commission to in.
struct the referee to be ON his
guard against Kearn'S tricks.
Sharkey will enter the ring de-
termined to win by a knockout
or get knocked out himself. He
does mot wish to have KearnS
spoil . good fight by any of his
sO-calIed inside stuff"
Sharkey, who has been training
at Stillman's gym, will be en-
trenched at DR.. Bier's camp a
Lake Pompton, N. j., today or tc
morrow. He will remain ther
until July %, the day of his meet

BEHIND
SCHEDULE
Of 1880
By BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, N. Y, July Ill
had a letter the other day from
= fan who asked me to predict
low many home runs I was like
iy to make this year, and also
how many would be needed to
win the home run honors for the
two major leagues. -,
I cannot say how many Will
hit. All I can say is that I IN
tend to keep on swinging. AS to
The number that will be needed
by a player to lead both leagues
7 believe that so homers should
be. enough. Hack Wilson hit 90
to win first honors among all
major league players last year.
but I do not think anybody is
likely to go that high this year.
Hack has got away to a poor
Start, due chiefly to a spring hit
ting slump, and 1t doesn't look
now as if he will be IN the race
this year.
So far this year Chuck Klein
has had things all his own way
in the National League. 1t seemed
for a time that Buzz Arlett or
Rogers Hornsby might give Chuck
a hard fight for the honors, but
Klein has stepped out well aheao
of all rivals and unless he IS
forced out of the game by injury
or illness I look to see him set
the pace all the way.
In our league, Lou Gehrig
and have been having
merry chase and neither OF
ms has been able to shake the
other off for very long. Ii
7 10 into the lead, Lou catches
and passes me in a few days
and when Lou gets out in
front it seems that he has a
few tough days and I catch
nm with him. Jimmy FOxx and
Earl AveriIl are trailing along
In good position to crowd ahead
of us If the hOmerS don't fly
for . spell.
I am hoping now to hit 80
homers this year and I neIleVe
it is possible. I am running be-
hind last years schedule and !
got only 49 then. This would
indicate that cannot reach the
so mark this year, but it hap
pens that hitting home runs never
goes along on any regular sched'
ule. Every home run hitter gets
these long blows in streaks. He
may hit six one month and IL
the next. That is why am still
hopeful that I will be able to
hit so this year. =,
Last year my homers fell off
badly after July /. but there have
been seasons when got the
greater part of my home runs
after that date. In 1927, the
year / was fortunate enough tc
set the record which still stands
I had hit only Is homers up tc
July i and I connected for 81
from that date to the finish.
One thing that may prevent
me from getting so this year Is
that we are ut home so much
during the remainder Of the
season.
I have played through eight
complete seasons with the Yankees
since the stadium was opened ir
the spring of 1928, and in five oi
these eight seasons I have hi
more home runs away from New
York than when we were playing
at home. This year hit II o.
my first, 10 while the Yankees
were on ghe road.

TWO BLUE LADS
At COLUMBIA

Stanley "set" Collins and Billy
Molloy, youthful assistants to
Freddy Mcleod, Columbia Coun-
try Club golf professional, have
placed mourning bands around
their golf clubs.
The cause Of their depression
was a match they undertook with
Everett Eynon and Tommy Bones,
Columbia County Club amateurs.
The amateurs won the best ball
match by a S and 4 margin.
Molloy and Collins were not in
the running. that's all. They saw
Eynon and Bones register a better
ball of 81, having 81 on the out
ward nine and bagging seven
brides.
That's gilded golf and the
MOllOy- Collins com binatiOn was
submerged under this avalanche
of brides.
Collins came into the golf shop
after the match and inquired OF
his boss, Freddy Mcleod, what
was wrong with a guy making
three brides and winning but
one hole?
Ceilings scored a birdie two at
the eighth and only halved the
hole with Eynon. He won the
eleventh with a birdie three, but
Eynon nearly split the hole as
his putt for a birdie trimmed
the cup. Collins added another
birdie three at the fourteenth
but SO did Bones.

BUILDINGS RAzED
/. FOR PARKING NEED
Changes Follow Increased
Demand Due to New
Regulations.

Increased demand for paid parking
space downtown since the new parking
restrictions went into effect has caused
the tearing down already Of some build
ings on the site Of the new Post once
Department at Thirteenth and D
streets.
The Treasury Department is not
ready to proceed with its regular con-
tract for wrecking the whole area be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets
and Pennsylvania and Constitution ave-
nues. upon which the Post once De-
partment and Interstate Commerce
Commission structures are to be built.
Plans for these new buildings are pro-
ceeding end the Government Is acquir-
ing all Of the property in the area.
Initiative Is Manifest.
But it was private initiative on the
part of a commercial concern which
rents parking space which led to the
tearing down of two or three buildings
at Thirteenth and D streets.
Parking space was at such pre-
MUM IN the downtown area that this
concern, whose name was not disclosed,
requested the Treasury Department for
permission to have the old buildings
torn down at its own expense so he
could rent the space to automobile
parking for the period of about a
month. Permission was given and he
engaged the Heckinger HOUSEKEEPING
Co, which is making rapid progress on
the demolition job. The Government
will thus be saved this part Of the
work.

WORLDS HOUSING
WILL Be STUDIED
international Building and
Loan Congress to Be Held
in Philadelphia in August.

The housing situation In three CONT
nents will be discussed the week of Au-
gust 10-15 when the third International
Congress of Building Societies and
Building and Loan Associations meets
in Philadelphia.
Financiers from Australia, Continent
tai Europe, Great Britain and the
United States will deliberate for two
days on the promotion of home owner
ship, the theory and practice Of f1nan-
cling homes, and legislative programs in
their respective countries which con-
tribute to the extension of the home
owning class. The international congress
will meet in conjunction with the
United States Building and Loan
League, which Is holding its centennial
convention there the same week.
A delegation of more than 100 British
building society executives Is planning
to attend the congress this Summer, ac-
cording to Miss Ann E. Rae, Niagara

estimated. Austria and Switzerland, as
well as Sydney, Australia, will have
representatives. The combined num-
bers Of the foreign home financiers and
the delegates to the centennial conven-

CONVICTION, KY, April 25.-J. Rob-
ert Kelley, 60, president Of the Kelley
Koett X-ray Manufacturing Co., Cow
ington, died at his home Thursday night
after q long Illness.
Known throughout the medical world
for the X-rays he manufactured, the
malady which afflicted him was be-
lieved to have been contracted during
the days of his experiments. During
his earlier years of investigation, Kelley
received many burns which caused him
intense suffering throughout his later
life.
Born In Thessalia. Giles County, Va,
November II, 1871, at the age of 20 he
became a telegrapher. Then he en-
gagged In the retail shoe business in
Huntington, w. Va. In 1895 he went
to Butte, Mont, as manager Of shoe
concern and later to Boston.
Mr.. Kelley visioned great possibilities
In the discovery Of the X-ray by Roent-
gen, and with what limited means he
had he devoted much of his time to
experimental work. In 1902 he came
to Covington and opened a small X-ray
shop which was destined to become one
of the largest Of its kind in the United
