Jim Mcnamara, former George

their match last night at the
Clark Griffith Stadium, though
the Greek titleholder pinioned
Dusek with his famous "airplane
spin" after So minutes. However,
Londos appeared none too eager
to mix with the ready Nebraskan
who chased the champion hither
and yon about the ring.
This defensive style Of Londos
caused one fan in the grand
stand to shout in a gruff voice:
"Heh, Tunney, get off that
bicycle"
OF course, he was referring to
Londos. Yet, the champion knew
his battle plan well and realized
that sooner or later Dusek would
come in ide open.
Londos' strategy worked out to
perfection. as indicated in later
developments.
Fans in Excitement
They had toiled in stirring style
for over so minutes with the
fans roaring and in high excite
ment. The fans were seeing a
thrilling struggle, with Dusek al
ways coming forward. He wanted
to get that powerful rocking
chair split" on the champion
and, after several futile attempts,
finally twined his legs about
LondoS' body.
The champion rolled and tossed
the ring, arms lifting up to the
high heavens, as if asking for
mercy, He Squirmed and twisted
and then suddenly spied the
ropes. Dusek tried to keep Londos
from the edge of the arena, but
Londos succeeded in reaching this
haven, where Referee Ernest Roe
Der parted them.
Two more times did Dusek
clamp the rocking chair split"
on LOndOS, but each time the
Greek crawled to the safety of
the ropes. Dusek registered
anger, but that didn't help the
situation.
Then, Dusek made the fata,
mistake. He tried a flying
tackle" LondoS stepped aside
and, as DuSek went hurdling past
Londos gave impetus with a shove
and DuSek landed outside the
ropes. The Jolt didn't appear tt
hurt Dusek, but it was enough tt
break the aggressiveness he hac
shown.
LOndOS Rushed Dusek
Londos, seeing he had Dusel
within his grasp, rushed the Ne
braskan, picked up and whirlec
him around with the "airplanC
spin" DuSek came out of thu
first spin and freed himself from
another, but the third put an enc
to a great match. Both matme1

YANK PITCHERS
TAKE AIR

NEW YORK. June 5.-Just as
lot of folks limited this spring,
Manager Joe Mccarthy has
swell ball club in the New York
Yankees, except that his pitchers
long ago went way up there in
the clouds, and when they come
down, if ever, such second diVis-
ion teams as the st. Louis Browns
will be gone, but not forgotten.
The st. Louis hitters climbed
all over the Yankee hurlers again
yesterday, winning to 6. They
made 13 hits on top of 16 they
baSketed the day before, Ruff
fling, Wells and Johnson lodging
the shots. Goslin and Kress cap
tained the sluggers from Missouri,
each getting three safeties. Babe
Ruth singled in the ninth and
attempted to rally round the flag
once more, boys, but Tony Laz-
zeri, the man they tell you has
recovered from a remarkable bat
ting slump. struck out with a
runner on third.
Wesley Ferrell, who has
been i'll, celebrated his re.
cOvery by whipping the Bos-
ton SOx 10 to 2, giving those
on-ruShing Cleveland Indians
their tenth straight win. Fer
rell allowed the SOx only
eight hits and helped things
along by hitting a whOOping
homer.
Kiki Cuyler struck a four
baser with Grimm on III the
final inning and snatched it,
6 to 4, for the Cubs over the
Robins of Brooklyn. Lombardi
and Hack Wilson also circuited.
Wilson celebrated his return to
the lineup by scoring three
runs.
Paul Waner, the first Pitts
burgh batter up in the thir-
teenth inning, was hit by Haid,
Boston Brave hurler, took Sec
ond on a sacrifice and scored
the winning tally on Regan's
single. The final score was
Pittsburgh 2, Boston /.

tinued to make merry at the
expense Of the Chicago White
Sox, taking another, 4 to /.
Earnshaw held the Alabasters

convenience. We want new pose
of you without tOnSils."

Major Brewster, U. s. Ma
rine Corps Intelligence Bureau,
felicitated:
"They grabbed mine at Naval
Hospital three days before they
grabbed yours. We should have
gotten together on matter be-
fOrehand, as possibly we could
have gotten club rates."
Listen, Major, if you paid
anything at Naval, it must have
been because you were an Off
Ger. Us privates get 'em done
free. Who won the war?
And here's a message that
. came from a column addict:
"How deep did they have to cut
before reaching bOne?"
Well turn that letter for
answer over to the pal who sent
us carton of pretzels on which
to convalesce.
No kiddin', a guy never knows
his we'll wishers until he strikes
some sort of stymie or gets
a tech of something.
OF Griff, and that's only
term of endearment, for he
isn't old in mind or body, sent
enough flowers to fill house,
cellar and garage-and just for
tonsils, too. Wonder where
he'd stop if a guy got real sick?
John D. o'Reilly worried
more than the patient himself, +,
and Sammy Rose started tele-
phoning every hour and taper
ing off to three times a day.
The boys at the office said
George Simpson didn't sleep the
night before the tonsilectomy,
whereas the patient got II
good hours. But George is that
way. He does everybody's fret
ting. Worse than an old hen.
But the prize package came
from a guy we fired 10 days
ago, and, judging from his So
licitude, you'd have thought
nothin' ever happened.
Well, it's all fun, job or no
job, tonsils or no tonsils, and
tomorrow we're going to reform
and write some sports.

DUNDEE WHIPS
BEN JEBY

NEW YORK. June 5.-Vince
Dundee, wall-eyed Baltimore Ital'
ian, who now makes his home
in Newark, N. j., stood forth today
as the leading claimant to Mickey
Walker rusty middleweight crown
as the result of his hairline de-
cision over Ben Jeby OF New
York, in a 10-round elimination
contest at Madison Square Gar
den last night.
The bout was rendered dull by
Dundee's incessant holding, and
both fighters failed to show
anything that would warrant plac-
ing them in the list Of 16O-pound
champions, including such tistlc
immortals as Ruby Robert Fitz-
simmons and Stanley Ketchel.
The two judges voted for Dundee
and the referee thought Jeby won.
Opinion of ringside observers also
was divided.
Only about 5000 spectators
paid an estimated $4,000 to
witness the elimination finale
between "the two guys who
licked Len Harvey" Dundee
weighed 1884 and Jeby 1874.
Dundee has been chasing
Mickey Walker for two years,
but the Jerseyman, who has been
mingling with the heavyweights,
evidently has no intention of de-
Tending his middleweight title. 1t
is believed that both the National
Boxing Association and the New
York Boxing Commission will
recognize Dundee as the l60-
pound champion,

FORF|RST

CHICAGO, June 5.-Seven
champions, most of whom will
have tough battles to retain their
crowns, were to take part today
in the tenth annual national
collegiate athletic association
track meet at Stagg Field.
Preliminaries will start at 3
o'clock this afternoon in six track
events and in all field events ex-
cept the pole vault and high
jump. Fifteen events are in
cluded in the program, with 10
points being given for first place,
eight for second, six for third,
four for fourth, two for fifth and
one for sixth.
University of Southern Califor-
mia, winner of the I. C.-4A meet
last week, with two defending
champs and four first place win
ners at Philadelphia is top-heavy
favorite to win the meet with a
high score.
The defending titlehOlders
most likely to repeat are Frank
WykOff who holds the record
of 9.4 seconds in the 1OO.yard
dash and Kenneth Churchill,
California, in the javelin. Wy
koff will have competition from
Eddie Tolan, Michigan negro,
Swift, of Washington State,
who has been timed in 9.5 Sec
ons, as well as PeytOn Glass, of
Oklahoma A. g. M. The track
at Stagg Field is fast, SO If
the weather is favorable Wy
koff may tie his own worlds
mark which is still unrecOg-
nized.
Weldon, of Iowa, who has
thrown the javelin more than
200 feet may press Churchill If
he has good day. Churchill
won the event last year with a
throw of 2O4 feet 2 inches and
set a new record at the Eastern
intercollegiate games with a
heave of more than 220 feet.
Sentman Misses Games
Other champions include Joe
Sivak, Butler College, who ran
the mile last year in Abb;
Howard Manning, Wichita, holder
of the national two-mile record
at 9:1S.1; Tom Warne, North
western, 13 feet 97s inches in the
pole vault; Jim Stewart, Southern
California, in the high jump, 6
feet 2 inches, and Ed Gordon,
Iowa, in the broad jump. Is
feet.
Lee Sentman, University of
Illinois hurdler, who won the
22O-yard low hurdles, is unable
to compete because Of examina-
tiOnS. Stanford, the squad that
narrowly missed beating the
TrOjans last week, returned to
the Coast for the same reason.
Last year six meet records
were established, three were
equaled and three worlds records
were tied.
Marks susceptible to fall this
time are the pole vault record,
javelin throw and perhaps the
uarter mile. Bill Graber, South
ern California, leaped over Il
feet last week and Warne and
McDermont, of Illinois, have been
near it for two seasons.

and still be permitted to take the cruise
The 90-day requirement would only
mean about "a hours Of training, ac-
cording to the way Naval Reserve or
CARNATIONS meet. Counting an aver
age of drill nights q month, that
would give IL drill nights for the Pc
Rod, and hours on each night would
make "a hours. 1t is apparent that
the Navy is quite liberal in this allow
ance, because of the varied duties re-
quired of sailorman.
Another angle to the question is that
in many instances when foreign cruises
are announced young men hasten to
join the Reserve In order to take the
cruise, and then do not attend drills
