1T OVER
BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June i8.-True TO
~ the forecast Of the keynoters,
the denomination of Hoover and
that other fellow has had a tremen-
dous effect on the morale OF the
country. You can see 1t already in
sports. Next week, for instance, is
the biggest of the year There's
championship in every dinner pail.
Take a look.
Monday-,The intercollegiate regatta at
Tuesday-sharkey and schmelinE at tho
new outdoor bowl
Thursday-The national open at Fresh
Meadow.
FrldaY-The Yale-Harvard race at New
LcndOn.
The Poughkeepsie regatta looks like an
open race. It's on the Hudson but the
sSd 9Tse sseW and deec ca 10
stand out after the race is something else.
NAVY. the defending champion. isn't re-
ceiying much consideration. They didn'.
receive much before the race last year
either. But after IT was over they re-
ceived the cup. the hooplas and the KEYS
70 the CITY. Life on the water is Ike that.
The experts don't know what to make
q the Pennsylvania boat Heretofore
fun Of 1t. But this wear. Rusty Callow
has been winning some races and there's
thing besides a pain in the neck. At the
very least. Pennsylvania must be listed as
the dark boss Of the race-the dark sea
CCHMELING will go into the fight
Othe favorite over Sharkey, in
spite Of the fact that he was far
behind when a foul blow stopped
the last fight. This isn't surpris-
ing. The champion usually goes
into the ring the favorite. Nor is
it significant. The favorite doesn't
always win. The fight seems to be
catching on. The boys are beginning
TO jabber about it. Who will win,
and what will it draw?
Those who like sharkey do so because
they remember how easily he was win
ming up to the time he lost his onion and
began bowling out of bounds.
In two more rounds he would have
put the Dutchman away" they say. Those
who like schmelng do so because they
remember Schmeling was just beginning
to come when Sharkey, stung for the first
time in the fight committed the foul.
'sharkey sensed the tide had turned and
that's why he fouled." they say.
These what-might-have happened con-
troversies are always futile anyhow, and
this one particularly so. Two years have
passed and both men have undoubtedly
changed in some vital respects. Sharkey
Is pounds heavier and Schmeling is more
experienced and probably a much bitter
fighter. It's a new deal all around.
Whether Sharkey or Schmelng wins, the
result can offer little solace to the de-
haters who look forward to this fight to
previous one. Not after two years This
is a different Sharkey and a different
schmeling. A. least it is to be hoped it is
different Sharkey.
A 8 for the national open golf
IN championship, it promises to
be the most tumultous battle the
game has had since Bobby Jones
stepped out. Gene Sarazen did
much to revive public interest in
the event by his record breaking
283 in the British open, and for
the first time in three years the
promoters anticipate a populous
turnout.
Another thing the pros, sarazen and
the rest have had time enough to get over
the Jones complex which kept them in the
background for years This adds to the
piquancy of the fight and it should also
add to the brilliancy Of the scoring.
n
Ag for the Yale-Harvard boat race. you
can write 1t down that Ed Leader has an
other great crew al New Haven and If the
Crimson boat gets anything out of the
race Friday besides backwash it will be
the satisfaction of having finished second
TO what is probably the best barge in the
east.
