YANKEES SECURE
 CHARLEY DEVENS
Harvard Pitching Star to Report To-day in Bos- ton = Murphy Goes to Newark

New York, June 30-Through their local business office, the N. Y. Yankees yesterday announced the signing of Charley Devens, Har- yard university pitcher and out standing hitter of this years Crim- son baseball team. Paul Krischell. chief of the Yankee scouting staff. conferred with Devens yesterday in Boston and reached an agreement with the Harvard mound ace. Other major league clubs were re- ported as having offered him con- tracts.
 Devens will report to Manager Joe Mccarthy to-day when the Yankees begin four-day series with the Red Sox at Boston. To make room for Devens inside the twenty-three player limit required by the league rules, the Yankees yesterday released Pitcher John Murphy, former Fordham star. to Newark on option.
 The Yankee twirler climaxed a brilliant college baseball career by pitching against Yale last Wednes- day in the 17-4 victory which deadlocked the annual series, and then facing Yale again Saturday in the play-off game, shutting out the Ellis. 6 to 0, with four hits. In both games Devens showed great prowess at striking out the Yale batters, flaming thirteen on Wednesday and twelve in the play off game. His batting, however was equally spectacular.

SHARKEY EAGER TO FISH SALMON IN
 NEW BRUNSWICK

Fredericton, N. B., June 30.- Jack sharkey, newly crowned heavyweight champion of the world wants to come to New Brunswick on salmon fishing trip this summer. In a telephone n1es- sage to D. Leo Dolan, director of the Bureau of Information and Tourist Travel, the new champion said to-day that he would ike nothing. better than to spend few days on the salmon pools Of the Miramichi River.
 "I am afraid now that engage ments which have come to me as a result of winning the title from Max Schmeling will keep me away from my favorite sport-fshing, said Sharkey to-day. However, am going to try and get to New Brunswick as I have wanted to fish your salmon rivers for some years. If can possibly make the trip I'll be there this season"
 Sharkey explained that he had been billed to make several per sonal appearances through the United States within the next few weeks and respectfully stated that when these engagements are over "your fishing season Will be closed" He intimated that sonic changes in these plans might be affected 50 that he could come to this province.

GERMANS, PORTS
 COLLIDE SUNDAY

Bridgeport, June 30.-Next Sum day should decide, beyond all doubt, just what team of soccer men will be entitled to the possess sion of the Protective Cup.
 Last Sabbath the Hartford Por- tuguese. driven by some witch of bad luck, missed the goal more times than we could count and the visiting Bridgeport Germans, equal ly smitten, banged and battered over the bar, past the uprights and anywhere but into the net.
 As result the tied score. 1-1 while 1t did not set any doubts at rest, was a fair finish to a fight in which speed and sportsmanship made the occasion memorable.
 At Harding field this Sunday these two undoubtedly strong elevents will meet again in 8 sec- ond Protective Cup finish tilt.
 The real weak spot, and one of the most important pivotal posi- tions fin the lineup of the Hartford outfit, is at .centar-half through which the ferries poured in the first minute and through which they probably will again try to thrust their attack.

VAN MUNCO LOOMS AS MAJOR LEAGUE
 SPEED BALL KING

Van Lingle Mungo. young fireball ace of the Brooklyn club, pitched and won eight games for the Rob- fns before he was old enough to vote and then was disappointed be- cause his ninth triumph came day too tate.
 Mungo won three of four starts with Brooklyn late last season and llaA chalked up five more this sea- son when this twenty-first birthday approached. For four years the youngster has pitched and won his game on his natal day. beginning when he was IT. His birthday was June 8 and he wanted to keep the record intact by pitching against tho Cubs in the recent torrid series at Ebbets Field. It wasn't his turn, however, and Watson Clark drew the assignment in a contest that went fourteen innings and three hours and forty minutes before Brooklyn lost.
 The next day Mungo went to the mound, held the Cubs to four hits and won his ninth major league victory and his sixth this year. The triumph pleased him, but he still regrets that it couldn't have come on his twenty-first birthday.
 Mungo, in the opinion of many baseball veterans is destined to be- come the leading fast ball pitcher of the National League. Only the famous veteran, Dazzy Vance. can compete with him in speed ana Vance, with the weight of years on his arm, is not now consistently as fast as the youngster. Mungo has also developed a good curve ball, and, like Vance, uses it enectiVely. His control. which had been none too good, showed vast improve ment in his four-hit victory over the Cubs, He walked only two and struck out six.
 With his 6 feet 2 1-2 inches ot height and nearly 200 pounds o1 youthful bone and sinew Mungo is q certainty to develop greater speed within the next two years, as hi weight and strength will increase If his acquisition of pitching smart ness keeps pace with his physical power he will be turning in tri' iimphs after the manner of thu Vance of 1924 and the league strike-out record probably will be- long to him.
 T wish I had him." Roger. Hornsby said while the Robins were in Chicago on their first west ern invasion. The Cub manager compared Mungo to Lon Warneke his own youthful ace.
 warneke and Bob Brown. 20 year-old Braves pitcher. may b' bracketed with Mungo as three O the outstanding young Nationa League hqrlers.

American colleges, from which Uncle Sam expects to draw much of his talent for the Olympic games at Los Angeles, doubtless will furnish one good Javehn thrower. The responsibility, or honor, apparently has been handed to George Williams of Hampton Institute.
 Williams is a short, powerfully built negro youth. For two years he has been a topnotcher in col legiate spear casting events. In 1881 and again this year he created new records In the special 5avelin throw event of the Penn Relays. His 1891 effort measured 197 feet 1 1-2 inches. He boosted 1t this spring to 205 feet 2 3-8 inches.
