SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. II. The
JOY with which the signing of the
articles for the fight between Max
Schmeling and Mickey Walker was
greeted, has turned to grief.
For this fight has ended a beau
tiful friendship-the friendship be-
tween two of the sweetest, gentlest
and most lovable characters in
the sports world. We refer, of
course, to those outstanding, straight
forward gentlemen, Joe CYusseD
acobs and Jack (Doc) Kearns. But
even more regrettable than the
chasm which has sprung up Cor
down between the old buddies, is
the abrupt manner in which their
outlook on life has been changed.
Before their fignters went in
training, Jacobs and Kearns-well,
when you were around them you
could think only of Pollyanna or
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Now,
look at them! Jacobs, who two
months ago wouldn't have said a
harsh thing about anybody to save
himself from the gallows, goes
about condemning folks left and
right, and speaking of buns"
mugs" "chiselers' and thugs"
And Kearns, who once saw some
thing good in everything, now talks
of frame ups "low lifes" and
"cut throats" in a manner most
sinister.
Their correspondence, handled
through the medium of the gardens
publicity department, fairly burns.
Soon after they started calling one
another names, we began keeping
box score on them, so as to be
able to determine the final winner
in this battle of the epithets. We
used our system of scoring, giving
one point for dirty dog" two for
"conniving scoundrel," and three
for double crossing snake in the
grass and so on. KearnS, chiefly
because he came through with a
couple of 10 point items, was off
to an early lead. He held this
advantage today when Jacobs,
warmed up at last.

INDIANS STAR
PITCHER HAVING
DIFFICULT YEAR

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE sum-
mer of 1882 will provide many rem
iniscences for Wesley Ferrell, big
pitching chief for the Cleveland
Indians.
Ferrell, for four years one of the
generals in the American League
flinging corps, for one thing was
given an enforced To-day rest from
his baseball labors because of a
temperatmental fit he displayed re-
Gently when he was forced to yield
to another pitcher.
Three events of moment en-
twined themselves about Ferrells
career during August.
The first was his one-hit pitching
performance against the Boston
Red SoX, August 6. The second
was his victory over the Washing
ton Senators August 81, making
him the first pitcher in baseball
history to win 20 or more games
in each of his first four seasons.
The third, of course, was his sus-
pension for insubordination.
Despite Ferrells amazing record
while playing with Cleveland, he
had gradually become one of the
clubs most unpopular players. He
has been at odds with the manage
ment ON Z several occasions, and
there is rumored to be i'll feeling
toward him among fellow team
mates.
Reports at odd times have told
that next season will see Ferrell
with another American League
team. Some believe he will be
traded to New York or Philadel-
phia; others that he will go to
Detroit or Boston. But as yet the
Cleveland management hasn't said
one word about letting go of Fer
rell.
After all, he's won 88 games in
four years, and even tempera-
mental player is desirable at that
rate.

LOCALS DEFEAT
YUMA TEAM ON
OWN BALL FIELD

For the. second straight time the
Imperial Valley All-Stars last night
defeated the Yuma All-Stars on the
Yuma diamond, 3 to l, the victory
being augmented by the smashing
IA to 8 defeat handed the Yuma
girls by the El Centre girls.
The locals victory last night
made the first time Yuma ever has
been defeated on the Arizona dia-
mond. Yuma has defeated Braw-
ley Whittier, RedlandS and Phoe-
nix this season.
Hurst outpitched Watson in a
torrid mound duel. Each pitcher
allowed but five hits. Hurst struck
out ID Yuma men in comparison
to 13 Ell Centrans famed by Wat
son.
The locals scored two runs in the
third inning, and in the fifth added
another. Yuma's one run came in
the seventh frame. Jepway, Ham
merslaugh and Wakefield starred
for the Imperial Valley team.
Miss Haskell and Miss Reams
were stars for the girls, with two
home runs to the credit of each.
Yuma comes to Ell Centro for
what may the last game of the
season next Friday night. Should
Ell Centre win, the series will be
tied with three victories for each
team. A seventh game would be
necessary to decide the inter-valley
championship.
Brawley will be seen here Mon
day, Tuesday and Thursday nights.
In cooperation with the new the
atre, no games will be played on
Wednesday night.

Crowder, Brown, Thomas and
Weaver at the Fonseca-managed
team, but finds now that he
can't carry out this system be
cause of Tommy Thomas sore
arm, which he reported to the
manager before yesterdays bicen,
tennial game.
Tommy, it develops, pulled up
with his lame wing after his
Saturday assignment against the
New York Yankees, in which he
was defeated, l to 0, in 10
innings.
And this means that he'll be
unable to pitch for about a week
because of the pain and soreness.
Johnson is having Trainer Mike
Martin work as fast as he can
in the effort to get Thomas in
shape before the ChiSoX leave
here, but it is doubtful If Tommy
will be able to take his turn.

Questioned who he would sub
stitute in Thomas place johnson
had this to say this morning:

man will get another chance as
a starter. Naturally, Pm hop
ing that he'll fill the bill. But
/ did so want to use him as a
relief pitcher during this home
stand. Still guy will get sore
arm every once in awhile. Only
it's too bad that Thomas had to
report with his at this stage Of
the race when we could gain SO
much ground by winning a
couple of games. Maybe Coff-
man will help us win. I'm pull
ing for him."
The Griffs, for fact, can gain
some ground during this home
stand by winning a couple of
games" Although it. sound quite
improbable right at the present
moment, what with the team firm
ly entrenched in fourth place,
Manager johnson and his men
hold excellent chances of ad-
vancing to second place in the
pennant race if only a few games
can be put on the right side of
the ledger.
Another winning streak such as
that staged during the teams
last home stay would do the
trick, and Manager Johnson is
pulling for it even though the
assignment is plenty tough one.

The crowd called for Tom
