CALEN To GIVEN
EDGE OVER
BOB TOW

One of the biggest boxing
CANDLES ever recorded in and
around Washington goes on trial
at Griffith Stadium tonight when
rangy Bob Tow, Alexandria's nomi-
nation for the worlds heavy
weight title, pits his boxing and
speed against the terrific left
hand wallop Of Tony Galento.
They are scheduled for 10 rounds.
Appearing under the manage
ment of Beverly May, youthful
Alexandria sportsman, Tow's as
signment tonight was made pos
sible through the backing Of Bob
May, Beverly'S father, WIN has
guaranteed promoter Joe Turner
a $4,000 gate for this attraction.
Brisk Advance Sale
That Mays gamble was well
justified appeared likely today as
a brisk advance sale continued.
Backed solidly by Alexandria and
northern Virginia enthusiasts, the
handsome Southerner will enter
the ring a huge sentimental favor
tie.
Popular though he is, however,
Tow will rest securely on the short
end of betting odds, variously be-
ing quoted as a to 3 and l to 4
short-ender.
Ringside FavOrite
The terrific two listed potency
of Galento which laid low Reds
Barry and Matte Brown and which
smeared Marty Gallagher to the
resin for nine counts on no fewer
than three occasions, will estab-
lish him a pronounced favorite at
ringside. Although Tow boasts
an upset Of Barry and a victory
over Gallagher he also has been
knocked out by Marty and tagged
by Brown via decision.
A semi-final eight rounder Of
unusual merit introduces colorfu1
newcomers in Don Perrin, hard
hitting Georgia heavyweight, and
Buddy Macarthur, classy Fair
mount, w. Va, youngster. Both
are fast rising lads backed by
good records.
In an outstanding six rounder

CRON|N PULLS
TRIPLE STEAL
BY BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

DETROIT, Mich, July 16.-One
of the rare plays Of baseball-es-
pecially rare since the introduc-
ton of the lively ball in 1920
triple steal, put the Senators out
in front of the Cleveland Indians
in the nightmare doubleheader.
But they couldn't stay in front.
Joe Cronin outguessed Monte
Pearson and got the jump on him.
Red Kress and Moe Berg followed
their leader. There was no play on
Cronin as he slid over the plate in
a cloud Of dust. Cronin seized the
split-second edge on his opponents
and succeeded through the sheer
audacity of the play.
The score was tied and the
bases loaded with two out and
Jack Russell at the bat. Pearson
dismissed the cavoriting base run
ners and bore down on the task
Of retiring Russell. AS Wyatt re-
turned the ball on one pitch, Pear
son juggled it and looked to the
outfield.
On the next pitch Pearson again
juggled the ball and started to
crane his neck toward the outfield.
The second he started, Cronin lit
out for the plate and scored
easily. The others advanced with
out a play being made on them,
either.

Gabby Street, dropping a dish
towel in 1880. rushed back to
baseball and led the Cardinals to
triumph in the National League,
and in 1881 scored in the World
Series. It is true, of course, that
Street was no youngster, but he
was a freshman manager in the
major leagues.
Grimm Won In 'S2
Following through, Charley
Grimm won the National League
pennant in 1882 in his first full
year as manager, and in 1888, two
yearlings set the pace in the
major leagues.

touched last year developed the

Possibly that is why I am
unable to repulse a rather deep
set admiration for 2O-year-old
Bobby Tow, whose chief claim
to prominence around these
parts up until a few years ago,
was that of being Sparring
mate for Bobby Goodwin, the
Georgia hog raiser.
Tow must have finally cogi-
tated to himself that if he was
good enough to be slammed
around by Slugger Bob Goodwin
he might some day be good
enough to do a little slaming
around on his own account
Bob Goodwin included.
And so he pulled out from
the hospitable protectorate of
the Godwins, Bob, Pa and Ma,
the latter of which can cook a
fried chicken just about as sue
culently as it was ever given
TO human hands to do.
Consequently. after this Tow
Galento match was made, ap-
parently with no little duress be-
ing used by Tow's manager, one
Beverly May who had to flash

order to get Master Robert this

ACCURATE CLAIMS TO MEAN
EARLIER CoRN-HoG CHECKS

Accurate and fair production
claims by growers when they fill out
contract forms in the corn and hog
adjustment program will speed up
the work of clearing contracts and
make possible earlier payment of adj
justment checks, according to j. q.
Miller, county agent fol Cecil
county.
The total production claims of
farmers in a county who take part
in the program, together with the
estimated production on the farms
which are not brought into the adj
justment plan, must be in line with
the official figures of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for total pro-
duction are not in harmony with the
official county figures, further steps
to adjust the contract statements
must be undertaken.
Delays Of this kind in orier to
make needed corrections would ne
cessarily postpone the date when
payment checks could be sent. to the
corn and hog growers of the county.
To prevent delay as far as possible
and facilitate the making Of pay
ments, officials of the Adjustment
Administration have urged farmers
to be careful and accurate i'll filing
out their contract forms, Evidence
to support production statements,
such as sales records and receipts,
will besvaluable in helping to estab-
lish claims. IN
Production records which must be
certified in the contracts will include
the average acreage in corn on the
farm during 1882 and 1898 (the
base period,) the past crop yields OF
the corn acres to be retire.. from
production under the contract and
the average number Of filters owned
by the contracting party or parties
when narrowed and average number
Of hogs marketed from these filters
during 1882 and 1888. Hog and
corn reduction totals and the adjust
ment will be based on these produc-
ton figures.
