And to do this little thing,
Manager Johnson's team must get
a better brand of pitching than
that turned in during the Detroit
series ended yesterday.
Manager johnson, despite the
fact that none whom he has call
ed upon lately has delivered, with
the exception of Lloyd Brown,
who pitched that 4-to-0 shutout
against Detroit, still believes that
the right sort of mound work will
appear soon.
Pitching Grows Worse
The pitching seems to have
grown worse since the addition OF
Dick Coffman and Alphonse
Thomas. The reason, Johnson,
nor nobody else, can't quite figure.
Coffman has failed in two starts,
having been knocked all over the
lot in each instance, while Thomas
has not been given chance as a
starter.
The work of the others, as the
box scores will give an idea, have
just been fair, and these include
Crowder, Weaver, Marberry and
Burke.
The first named has won two
games in three starts; Weaver has
won but once in three tries; Mar
berry, none in one start; not to
mention a couple of other appear
ances as a relief pitcher. and
Burke, none in three starts.
Brown Works Well
Lefty Lloyd Brown has been the
best pitcher on this trip as his
two victories in as many starts
will testify. His game against the
Tigers was a gem as he let the
Harrismen down with five hits.
His other victory was against the
st. Louis Browns when he beat
them, IL to 4.
Bobby Burke should have won
two of his three starts. One was
in the Chicago series when he
limited the White Sox to three
hits until yanked in the ninth.

Sharkey Rates
AsChampWith
His Riddles
BY HYPE IGOE

ORANGEBURG. N. Y, June
2O.-When Jack Sharkey got off
the rubbing table for the last
massage in camp he grinned all
over and let out a warwhoop.
ITS all over bOyS-nO cuts,
no scratches, no bruises-nO
alibiS, for the first time in my
entire career I've come to an
important fight without a
blemiSh to worry me. Look at
this left thumb. Never was a
time before that / could close
it before fight. Look at that
fist. Perfect bunch of fives,
isn't it?"
After his final workout, he
weighed 202A and this pleased
him.
Hopes for Short Fight
Little Tony Polozzolo, Skinflint
masseur extraordinary, was bead
ed with perspiration as he care
fully kneeded Sharkey's muscles.
Gee, you don't know how it
feels to have the work over"
Sharkey continued.
Il hope it is a short fight.
I want to get to those kids
in Boston. Am 1 dying to see
them. ItIl be great when
their old man walks up the
front steps, the new champion
of the world. But it won't
make much difference to them.
They think I'm the champion
of the world right now"
AS Sharkey sat up on the
table to have his back
rubbed, he added:
"The old machine is perfect.
I've never been stronger or
surer of winning in all my
life."
Sharkey In New York
Sharkey slipped out of camp
as dusk came on last evening.
He will probably do little
loosening up at Stillman's in

Sharkey has come up to his
fight, in finer condition than
ever. This writer saw him
certainly with a greater de-
termination to be a greater
Sharkey than ever before.

CRON|N STARS.
AS GR|FFS BOW
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 20.
It doesn't do the Griffs any good
to get off to swell starts in ball
games these days as they invaria-
bly, lose out in the end.
Yesterdays final encounter
against the Detroit Tigers at De
troit is the latest example. In the
first inning, with Whitley Wyatt
pitching, Manager Johnson's men
hoped off to an excellent advan-
tage by scoring two runs-enough
to take the heart out of any team
bit not the Tigers as things re-
suited.
The Harrismen not only came
right back in their half of the
inning and counted four runs, but
by doing so, took the heart out of
the Griffmen to the extent that
they were never able to come
back, thus the final tabulations
on the game: Tigers, 8; Griff-
men, S.
Burke Unsteady
Indifferent pitching by Bobby
Burke spoiled the day for Man
ager Johnson's hopefulS. After
giving up four markers in the
first, Bobby looked as if he had
gotten over his unsteadiness until
the fourth, when four hits allowed
two more Tiger runs to trickle
across the pan-enough to win
the game as things turned out.
Prof. Weaver took up the mound
duties after Earl Webb followed
Stones homer with a single in
this sixth. He got by the re-
mainder of the way unscored on,
but walked three and gave up a
hit during his three innings on
the pitching peak.
It was Mr.. Joe Cronin-good old
Joe-who kept the Griffs in the
game as much as they could be
kept.
He socked no less than four of
the five Griff runs of the after
noon and how his hits rang out
in the warm atmosphere.
Sammy West drove over the
fifth and only other Griff marker
for the day.
The Washington times., 1932-06-20

Lefty Brown, who relieved him,
yielded the hits which enabled the
Sox to win, 3 to 2.
Burke's second loss was in that
st. Louis double-header on June
13. Here he was beaten, to 0,
but pitched good enough ball to
win nine times out of ten had his
mates gotten any runs for him
Lefty Stewart opposed Burke and
whitewashed the Griffs, giving up
but three hits.

MANY CRAFT I
DOT SCENE
Of RACES
BY GEORGE BARRY

POUGHKEEPS1E, N. Y, June
20.-A carnival atmosphere en-
veloped PoughkeepSie today as
crowds swarmed into this pretty
city on the banks of the Hudson
to witness another classic strug-
gle for the rowing supremacy of
the collegiate world.
The crew of eight colleges, Sy-
racuse, California, Washington.
M. I. T., Cornell, Navy. Columbia,
and Pennsylvania will compete in
the feature event of the day
which is the varsity race. The
concensus of experts was that it
will be an open race" The East
versus West aspect of the con-
test has given it a spicy flavor
that has whetted the appetite of
the fans.
Three Races On Program
Fully $4,000 spectators are ex-
pected to view the spectacle. They
will watch the races from the
banks of the river, from gaily dec
Grated vessels and from grand
stand seats on an observation
train which will be run parallel
to the course as the contests are
being staged. There will be three
raceS-the freshman, the Junior
varsity and the varsity, the lat
ter being the high spot Of the
regatta.
The freshman race over two
miles will start about Sis this
afternoon, daylight saving time.
The junior varsity race over three
miles will b. gin at 6:15 p. m. and
the varsity, over four-mile
course, will be run an hour later.
Poughkeepsie and environs were
decorated with flags and bunting
this morning, giving gala
atmohphere to the occasion.
United States destroyers, Coast
Guard cutters, sub-chasers, river
launches, steamers and pleasure
craft of all types dotted the Hud-
son.
Hotels Crowded
Hotels were filling up and board
il : houses all over Poughkeepsie
were taking in visitors. Special
trains and boats were bringing
crowds in all forenoon.

perts, was p:1ning it's hope largely

occurred the night he so in

Spect for the American flag. I
served under the cOlOrS for four
years and I knew there were
certain places where it. would
be disreSpectful to display the
flag and that one of them was
around my shoulders. AS the
American c h mi piOn, had
every right to wear it as a belt.
But l thought even that would
be showing diSreSpect for the
cOlOrS.
anyway, when the call came
to enter the ring, Buckley put
the flag around my shoulders.

wrong. / tried to squirm it off
but Buckley and Tony held it
on. AS 1 passed through the
dugOut and came out onto the
field, I deliberately scraped my
shoulders against the top of the
dugOut trying to knock off the
flag, without meaning any dis
respect. But it stuck to me like
six creditors.
when 1 entered the ring,
the storm broke on my head.
I couldn't do anything about it
then but take the razzing. But
you won't catch me walking
into a trap like that again."

OLYMPIC FUND
FAR SHORT
Of GOAL
By HARRY COSTELLO

Olympic business, or rather
that portion of it devoted to the
gathering of dollars, continues to
have it's ups and downs.
Last Saturday was no exception
to the average run of business
days for our American Olympic
officials.
While 10000 persons attended
the pre-Olympic semifinal track
and field tryouts in Harvard
Stadium, Cambridge, Mass, only
a paltry 500 persons, or less,
sat in at the Olympic lacrosse
semifinals in Baltimore Stadium.
Fund Is Far Short
At this writing, the Olympic
fund to defray the expenses of
our American athletes to the
Olympiad in Los Angeles in Au-
gust is more than $250,000 short
of the announced goal.
In view of the almost incredible
performances of American ath-
letes these past several weeks, it
seems a shame to allow lack of
funds to interfere with American
victory in the 1882 OlympicS.
A review of Saturdays per-
formances in three track meets in
widely separated parts of the
country establishes that two
worlds records were broken, four
worlds records equaled, three of
them in the same event. the 100
meters dash, and five American
records broken.
Break World Marks
Leo Sexton,- former Georgetown
ace, started breaking records on
Friday, the first day of the Cam
bridge meet. He put the shot So
feet 83s inches. Then followed
a new worlds record for the 5000
meters Steeplechase, an event only
run in this country around Olym-
pic games time. Lieut.. George
Lermond, of the United States
Army, stepped the distance in
9:08.4, which clipped 1874 seconds
from the recognized world mark.
After Lermond's performance
came the fastest Olympic mile"
ever run in this country. Gene
Venzke, the Boyertown. Pa,
schoolboy, stepped the 1900
meters in 1926. Not to be out
done, Emmett TOPPING, of New
Orleans, equalled the world mark
of 1O.4 for the 1OO-meters, and
Percy Beard, the elongated Ala
baman, dashed off the 110-meters
high hurdles in l4.4 to equal
another world mark and clip
two-fifths of a second off the
American record.
Tom McDonough, of the Bos-
ton A. A., not so well known as q
star performer, then came along
and set up a new American rec
ord of 31:24 in the 10,00O-meters
run.
Equals Sprint Record
Meantime, Frank Wykoff, Pa
cific Coast flash, returned to
track activities following an i'll
ness and equalled the world mark
for 100 meters, at les Angeles,
as did also Claude Bracey in the
Texas Olympic tryoutS, at
Houston.
Two other athletes we'll known
ir this vicinity. Vic Burke, of
Georgetown, and Earl Widemyer,
of University of Maryland, respec-
lively, finished second in the 400
meters hurdles and the 100-meters
dash. Burke was beaten by two
yards, by j. F. Healy, a teammate,
while Widemyer was defeated by
three yards by TOPPING in the 100
meters.
The Olympic lacrosse situation
developed as anticipated by all Ia
crosse men. Johns Hopkins, ma
tional champions, will meet Mary
land in the final game. Hopkins
trounced the Crescent A. C. team,
10 to 2, Saturday, while Maryland

BOTH BOXERS.
IN GREAT
SHAPE.
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, June 20.-On the
eve of their battle tomorrow night
for the heavyweight rhamr'"nshi'.
of the world, Max Schmeling. Of
Germany. and Jack Sharkey. the
American contender, were in SUI
perb condition today and eager
to take up where they left off
two years ago when Schmeling
won the title on the floor.
Ready to co." was the word
from both fighters.
At least $4,000 fans-a "depres.
sion crowd"-will wend their way
into Madison Square Gardens new
bowl in Long Island City to view
the spectacle. The arena can seat
$4,000 persons but indications are
it will not be filled even though
public interest has picked up
sharply the last few days.
1t will be far from "a million
dollar gate" this time. The pop
ular estimate is that receipts
will range between 100000 and
,$4O0,O0O.
Cob Gets Small Pay
Sharkey, next to Jack Dempsey
the best box office draw in box
ing history, probably will receive
the smallest financial reward
since he became a headliner. He
will take only 10 per cent of the
net, but he prof4SseS not to be-
interested in the money angle
on this occasion. He wants that
championship crown; he wants
to prove his claim that he is
Schmeling's superior as a fighter.
In the eight years Sharkey has
been before the public. he has
boxed before nearly $4,000,00
worth of paying customers. He
was a principal in one of the
million-dollar gates of the boom
era"-hiS battle with Dempsey
which drew $1,083,000.
Betting odds lowered around
even money today. 1t was re-
garded as a certainty that Schme,
ling will enter the ring a slight
favorite. The champion in
variably does. Wagering is fairly
brisk considering times.
To Wipe Out Stigma
Schmeling, whose popularity
and prestige has increased as a
result of the sound beating he al
ministered to w. L. ("Young"O
Stribling in defense of his title in
Cleveland last summer, is deter
mined to wipe out the stigma at
tached to the manner in which he
won the championship against
Sharkey two years ago. On that
occasion Sharkey was breeZing
along toward apparent victory
when he accidentally threw low
left hook which struck the Ger
man below the belt. 1t was a foul
and Sharkey lost the fight.
The mo foul" rule will be in
effect tomorrow night, insuring
the customers there will be no
repetition of the fiasco of 1880.
Both Have Changed
Schmeling and Sharkey are
both represented to have changed
since their last encounter.
Schmeling has acquired poise and
confidence as a result of his
magnificent showing against .
Stribling.
Sharkey, whose outstanding
weakness is a tendency to blow
up" during the heat of battle,
has revamped his mental make
up, according to his handlers.
They say he no longer is a
Tightly, temperamental, impulsive
individual; that he has trans"
formed himself into a calm, COM
posed and calculating ring gen.
eral.
Tomorrow night, however, will
tell the tale. Then we shall be
given the answer to a question
which has ragged off and on for
two years, namely, which is the
better fighter - Schmeling or
Sharkey?"

Pete and Gene

Pete Bostwick, the gentle
man jockey who has ever been
something of a steeplechase
rider, but until recently a dudd
as a flat rider, explains his
two straight victories on Blind
Bowboy by saying he length
ened the stirrups for his last
two rides.
He had been trying to use
the short stirrups of the pro-.
fessional jockey and declares
this made it hard for him to
stick on. Using his regular
style, he says, he is able to
lend some help to the mounts.
In addition to lengthening
his stirrups, we would not be
surprised if the fact that his
mount heightened his stride
had something to do with
Blind Bowboy's two victories,
eh, Pete!

difficult to in the past the Gff held hopes of

Indians today
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-08-26

social world Of this Western metropolis
was as definite and as absolute as was
that Of the first Mrs. Potter Palmer
in her day. To the end it remained
unchallenged. Patric: i to the tips of
her fingers, this daughter of John D.
Rockefeller met queens and princes on
an equal footing.
Her social decisions were final. She
could and did cancel a luncheon
planned for 200 persons. at the last
moment, without word of explana-
ton. But this was only a minor Incl
dent compared with the calm manner
in which she met the baIrage of
rumors in the social world that she
was planning to marry Krenn, the
young Swiss architect whom she met
during her long residence abroad.
But one of Chicago's most prominent
citizens. whose name was unrevealed.
was quoted today in the local press
as saying he was positive Mrs McCor-
mick had never considered a second
marriage.
Ever since divorce broke the matri
monial ties with Harold F.. Mccormick,
even though she charged deSertion. his
room in her mansion on Lake Shore
drive was kept in readiness for his re-
turn, and every year on her birthday
anniversary there was delivered to her
perfect yellow rose-her favorite
floWer-with his card attached.
There were those in Chicago who
thought it might be an awkward mo-
ment for Mrs. Mccormick and her for
mer husband when she met him for the
first time after his marriage to the
Polish singer, Gamma Walska, from
whom he later was divorced. The meet
ing occurred at the John Mccormick
Institute for Infectious Diseases, where
a session of the board of directors was
under way. But without word she
went into the room.
How do you do. Harold?" she greeted
him. I'm glad to see you"
I'm glad to see you, too, Edith he
replied.
They were the only unruffled ones in
the room.
Then there was the time Mrs. Nc
Cormick attended a brilliant ball at a
downtown hotel, when the atmosphere
was electric with the presence of Gamma
