BURL :OUTBOXES
PETEY SARRON

Eddie Burl, the Florida fistic
whirlwind, was on the lips OF
every local boxing fan today.
The Jacksonville Fla.) feather
weight handed Petey Sarron, the
Birmingham Basher, a 10-round
defeat in the feature contest at
the Twin City A. A., Laurel, Md,
last night with 1000 fans watch
ing the upset. The crowd was
the largest attending Twin City
A. A. this year and indicates the
customers will welcome a return
match between this pair.
Sarron had cleaned up all op-
position offered him locally last
winter and was figured to score
over Burl, but not without a
struggle. However, Burl saw
things in different light and
nabbed nine Of the ten rounds.
He beat Sarron at his own game,
sWarming over the Birmingham
boy with a whitening attack from
the outset.
Burl opened up an old cut over
Sarron's left eye in the third
and the blood streamed down the
Syrian's face, affecting his vision
for the remainder of the fight.
Ray Bowen decisioned that ring
relic, Arthur DeBeve, in a six
rounder. Bob Tow and Matte
Brown travelled six rounds to a
draw. Kayo Brodie, of Baltimore,
flattened Frankie Vance after 81
seconds of the first round while
Jack Bullock was awarded a tech
nical knockout over Sailor Cross
in the third round, the referee
stopping the fight.

SECTION DATE.
FOR PLAY
UNNAMED
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
With the National Professional
Golfers Association championship
set for August 8-13 at Milwaukee,
Bob Barnett, local sectional repre-
sentative, awaits word from head
quarters before assigning a date
for the Middle Atlantic qualifying
round.
Barnett first must know the
number of qualifiers allotted this
section.
The Middle Atlantic qualifica-
tiorS of 36 holes will be held over
the Suburban Club course in Bal
tinore.
Lacks Direct Information
Barnett has received no direct
information from the P. G. A. exec
utives that August 8-13 will be the
dates for the annual tourney. His
only information has com
through the press.
However, there is feeling here
among local pros that later date
may, be chosen since the two
gate" stars, Walter Hagen and
Denny Shute. will be unable to
complete their British engage
nents before this end of this
month.
The Iateness in naming a tour
nament date was because the
P. G. A. body canvassed at length
before finding a club willing to
stake $1,000 as a guarantee be-
fore being awarded the cham
pionship. Furthermore, several
thousand paying customers must
be attracted for the club to break
even on it's investment.
Needed for "Gate"
The attendance will take one
one the chin with Hagen and
Shute out of the picture. The
"Haig" is always an idol with
the gallery fans while Shute will
carry an extra appeal because Of
annexing the 1888 British Open
championship.
Locally today, three tourna-
ments will bear Importance.
They are the public parks
championship, in progress at East
Potomac and Rock Greek; the
Maryland State amateur cham
pionships beginning with the 36-
hole qualifying rounds at Indian
Spring and the final second team
matches of the Womens District
Golf League at the KenWood
Country Club.
Entries Close Tomorrow
District amateurs have until
6 q. m. tomorrow to file entries
for the 1888 national champion
ship. Any amateur, member Of a
club connected with the United
States Golf Association and pos
Sessing a handicap Of 4 or under,
is eligible. The sum Of S. must
accompany each fee.

Club golfer, covered the Kenwood
course in 81 strokes yesterday

Miss Virginia Pope and Harvey

Yankees on July 4.
But Manager Cronin, for one, =,
is not letting himself become too
worried over the situation because,
as he says, the season still has
a long ways to go and anything
can happen between now and
September.
The item concerning the young
pilot most is the hitting Of his
team instead which has not been
the best in the world during the
past 10 days.
"We've all been in a slump
at bat" he said today, But 1
can't see where we're going to
stay in the rut very much
longer. We just can't, that's
all. Especially if we're the hit
ting team we appeared to be
on that great trip out West
last month. Maybe i'm a couple
of more days we'll get started
again. /, for one, am pulling
for it anyway"
Asked what he thought of the
current situation now that his
team has dropped behind the
Yankees again for first place,
Cronin had this to say in an
impromptu interview gotten UP
by your correspondent.
worried? Not a bit. We
haven't dropped out of the race
entirely because we're in second
place again. The season has
many a day to go yet and most
anything can happen in the
meanwhile. I look for . new
turning point when we meet
the Yankees face to face again
next week. BY that time we'll
probably have found our bat.
ting eyes which we'll need
plenty. But we're not worried
about our present position in
the standings, don't forget that"
In regard to the teams hitting,
the Griffs, on the whole, flashed
improved strength at bat in yes
terday's contest against the st.
Louis Brown, which the Killefer-
men won, to 3.
Goose Hits Homer
Goose GoSlin, as a particular
example, shot out three bingles,
one a homer, which offered sew
eral indications that his case
might be one where the GriffS
will be swapping out Of their cur
rent batting slump soon.
Then there were the cases of
Buddy Myer, Joe Kuhel, Luke
Sewell and even Manager Joe Cro-
min. Buddy gathered himself a
fine double in the seventh which
drove over a run, while Kuhel's
single in the second, Sewell's
single in the fifth and Cronin'S
two singles and triple during diff
ferent occasions of the game
looked very, very good when the
weak hitting of every one Of these
performers Of recent date is linked
in comparison.
'Yeah, we hit the ball q little
better" Manager CrOnin mused
in the clubhouse after the game.
"And I think we'll be hitting it
better by the time this present
week is ended. "We've got to If
we expect to win like before,
that's ALL"
Cronin made a slight batting
order change for yesterdays
game although it involved only
two of his regular cast. He
moved. Goslin from third to sec.
ond in the order and dropped
Manush to third. The shift
worked successfully for Goslin as
his hitting at the plate seemed
to take new lease on life as
to whit his single in the first,
his homer in the sixth and his
single in the seventh.
Maybe the others will follow
the Goose's example in the games
from now on. And if they don't,
they'll probably follow Cronin's,
whose three bingles looked just
as good, if not better than Cos
Inns.

SPOIL
FINE EFFORT
BY RUSSELL

Jack Russell has been pitch
ing pretty good baseball ever
since his first appearance as q
Griffman this year. He hasn't
had many starting chances, nev.
ertheless he's made several ex.
cellent impressions whenever on
the mound.
Yesterday in the fourth game
Of the series with the st. Louis
Browns, he was given his second
starting assignment of the cam.
paign. He did not win, but he
hurled impressive ball just the
same, and would have won nine
times out of ten had he received
the right sort Of support from
his mates in the field.
The GriffS lost the contest, 4
to 3, because they experienced
an unusual nightmare in the
first inning when errors helped
the Browns score three runs.
From this frame on, it dwindled
down to a bitter fight to over
come the handicap, which in The
end, proved a feat too difficult
to accomplish.
However, Russell, by his better
than average pitching, gave cut
several thoughts that it might
not be such a bad idea to hand
him starting role sometime
again in the very near future.
The young hurler looks as If he
has the real goods. also as if he
could become a consistent winner
if acclimated to the situation,
feeling" or what-have-you held
by all starting pitchers.
Errors, Ugh!
Scharein walked to start that
first-inning st. Louis uprising.
West grounded out to Kuhel, but
Reynolds got a life when Cronin
fumbled his grounder, Scharein
scoring on the play when he
trotted home as Cronin picked
up the ball and threw to Sewell.
It happened to be a pretty good
throw to the plate and Sewel
might have touched the st. Louis
third Sacker out had he not
dropped the pellet just as 1t hit
in his gloved hand.
On the strength Of this begin
ming the Browns followed with
two more runs before the frame
ended. Campbell laced a Texas
League single over Cronin's head
which scored Reynolds, which
Melillo's single after Burns in.
field out, and a double steal by
Burns and Melillo, the former
scoring, resulted in the third
marker of the frame and the last
collected until the seventh.
The Griffs, in the meantime.
waited until the sixth before get
ting to George Blaeholder, Man
ager Killefer's starting pitcher
for the day, for a run. In this
frame Goose Goslin opened with
a homer over the right field wall,
then Cronin followed with a
triple to left center after Manush
had lined to Campbell. Manager
Joe counted a moment later on
Schulte'S liner to Reynolds.
Myer Doubles
Blaeholder gave up one more
run in the seventh before with
drawing from the game in favor
of Sam Gray, who finished out
the string. Russell walked with
two out and scored when Buddy
Myer shot double to the right
field corner.
This marker proved just one less
to win or tie, as Russell gave up q
run to his opponents in the first
part of the frame when Blae-
holder, Scharein and West singled
in succession. The Griffs did not
threaten again during the remain-
ing innings as Sam Gray proved
to be the toughest sort Of relief
pitcher to fathom as only Pinch
Hitter Sam Rice's single will prove.
The Griffs play the Browns for
the last time today in the current
series and still face the oppor-
unity of winning the set by tri.

Etching Exhibition
Opened Here To-day
Mattatuck Historical Society Shows Prints Presented
BY Yale in Honor of Late A. r. Kimball

An exhibition of 20 etchings by
some of the foremost American
etchers opened this morning at the
Mattatuck Historical society. The
exhibition Is considered by Raw
SON w. Haddon, director, and
others associated with the society,
as one of the most important and
outstanding exhibits of this par
ticular nature that this organiza-
ton has ever sponsored.
The set Of prints is Of particu-
lar interest in Waterbury because
it was presented through the treas
urer of Yale university to the Mat
tatuck Historical society as me-
mortal to the late Arthur Reed
Kimball, Yale, 1877, who was very
definitely associated with the func-
tioning and activities of the society.
The 20 prints by 20 American etch-
ers were forwarded here by the
George Washington Memorial asso-
citation and are now on exhibition
in the small gallery, main floor.
The entire group pictures scenes
from the life Of Washington. In
GLIDING Washington engaged in ad-
ministrative duties, in pursuits as
q surveyor, as q general at head
quarters and on the battlefield, and
domestic scenes at home which
show interiors as well as. exteriors.

Washington is the central figure
of each etching there is no same

The Yale treasurer's letter in
presenting the group quotes John
Taylor Arms, president of the So
ciety of American etchers in 1.-THE

of no other case in the history of
engravings where q group of etch-
ings by a number of distinguished
artists, each print relating to the
same subject, has attained to any
thing like the standard of artistic
excellence maintained in this; nor
Is the least interesting aspect Of
the whole portfolio, the manner in
which each artist, while developing
the same subject, has brought to
it his own characteristic methods
Of expression and imbued it with
his own artistic individuality"
Particularly impressive in the
set is the war group which are
most impressive in their many de-
tails and background. The follow
ing is the complete list Of the
