Newport, R. l., July 1S.-(UP) The Boston-owned sloop Yam kee remained the standout favor- ite to defend the Americas cup in September, following the bit- terest duel of the series yester- day against Harold s. vanderbilt's repaired Rainbow.
 The Vanderbilt syndicate entry was beaten by 24 seconds over Q 22% mile triangular course, the fourth victory of Yankee over the New York entry. Weetamoe broke block and was forced to withdraw.
 It was Rainbow's best showing to date, but the Vanderbilt craft was unable to match the finishing speed of Yankee under Genoa jib and later a double head rig. Both yachts set spinnakers on the second lap and roped them on the way home.

He is Frank, right-handed pitcher for Seattle in the Pacific Coast loop. Art Shires, nov playing in the Texas league, hasn't hit home run so far this season and that's not so great for "The Great.

TODANS SPORTAPAEADE E8a&$Rhl2M

United Press Stan Corresponds

United Press Stan Correspondent
 London, July 1S-UP)-When, in the course of a strenuous match, they find their strength ebbing, sev- eral of the leading tennis stars walk to the umpire's stand after each game and take a slug, snort, snifser of whatever drink of whisky is known as in their coun- tries.
 From a highly unreliable source learn that this practice of re- viving sagging muscles and sink ing spirits by alcoholic stimulants is coming in for quite 8 bit of crit i. icism. The temperance folk don't like it, of course. To them, a drink that b1ackens the liver, dapple like a bow and arrow, and does perfectly awful things to the hip, thigh and shoulder blades, has no place anywhere, much less on a tennis court.
 But their criticism, severe as it is, cannot match that which is be- ing levelled at the imbibers by their competitors, who consider this bus mess of taking a nip, swish or shot as highly unfair in that it gives the imbibers a tremendous advan- tage.
 s.It isn't cricket for a player to take a drink" victom of an im- biber explained to be at Wimble- don. After a couple of drinks he undoubtedly thinks he sees two men on the opposite side of the net. Actually there is only one. but he thinks he sees two and so, be- lieving he is being ganged, goes out to show them" up. The result is unbeatable tennis"
 The complainant said he and his friends had vainly sought a solu- have a suggestion.
 said yes, I did, but that being an absolute stranger to anything alcoholic, it probably wouldn't he worth anything. But he insisted, so I proposed they find out what the imbibers drank and go them one better by employing stronger fluid.
 "For example, I said, eff they drink Scotch, then you must use brandy of vodka, both of which. understand from acquaintances, are stronger than Scotch. As a re- suit, when they are seeing two op- ponents you'll be seeing three, four or perhaps five"
 "But suppose that fails?" the player asked.
 siThen I would suggest you get some American prohibition bootleg. which hear still may be obtained in New York;"
 els that certain to work?" he in- quired.
 ITO this extent. If seeing three or four hundred people on the other side of the net, including the governors of the 4s states and blood cousin of the Loch Ness monster. will help, then it will.
 But even if it doesn't. and you are beaten, it will make you such a gracious loser the crowd will love you. You'll find yourself not only shaking the conqueror's hand with a deep sincerity, but asking him out to your house for dinner"

JIM LONDOS AND DON GEORGE IN
 MAT TITLE, GO
Champions Meet in Boston Tonight to Settle
 Claims

Boston, July IS = (UP) - Fur ther clarification of the heavy. weight wrestling championship sit- nation was possible when Jimmy Londos of St Louis, Mo, meets Ed Don George of North Java, N. r., in a two-falls-out-of-t three bout at Fenway Park tonight.
 Both claim the title, Londos by virtue of recent victory over Jim Browning of Missouri in New York recently. and George by his defeat of Henri Deglane last year.
 Londos' claims are supported by the National Boxing Association, and the Pennsylvania and New York Athletic commissions, while George admits he is recognized as champion in New England, Cali fornia, and Canada.
 The only likelihood of a draw decision appears to be that of both contestants were forced to quit at the same time.
 : A crowd of 25,000 was expected to witness the contest with a gate of more than $30,000.

 Petersen

New York, July 1S.-(UP)- Primo Camera, former heavy weight champion, may abandon American shores to ply his wares in Europe, now that Max Baer has definitely declined a return bout this fall, his manager, Louis Soresi, said to-day.
 An offer made by Jeff Dickson, transplanted American who pro- notes fights in Europe, and wants to match Primo with the winner of fight between Larry Gaines, Canadian, and Jack Petersen of England, probably will be &C., cepted.
 Dickson arrived last night on the French liner Paris, reporting the boxing trade is picking up abroad. Dickson will make a brief trip to his home in Jack son, Miss, and return to London July 2S. He wants to put Primo on in England in September.

DEMPSEY DEALAT NEW YORK GARDEN
 STILL A MYSTERY
Hammond Admits Confer ence, But 'Nothing
 Came of 1t" He Says

Boston, July 1S--(UP)-Wheth- CT or not Jack Dempsey will be- come director of the New York and Boston Gardens was still uncertain with those claiming to know mak- ing conflicting statements.
 Col John S. Hammond, president of the New York Garden, denied published reports that, the former heavyweight champion will be ap- pointed, while Ancil Hoffman, manager of Max Baer and an asso- ciate of Dempsey, reiterated that Dempsey had come to terms with the Garden management.
 Hammond admitted he conferred with Dempsey on the matter sev- eral weeks ago, but nothing came of it."
 Dempsey made a proposition which we couldn't accept, Ham, mond said, "and we had no further discussion of the matter. The af- filiation of Dempsey with the Bos- ton Garden never entered into the discussion"
 Dempsey was reported to have signed an agreement to direct box. ing at both Gardens for three years at an annual salary of $35,000, and that Hoffman was to be his assist ant.

Hogan's chances of coming through with a win over Kenendy are considered good, though the coast heavyweight is far ahead of the local boy in experience against high class opposition, his record showing knockouts over Larry Johnson of Chicago and K. O. Christner of Akron. Ohio, two of the better big fellows who camped on the title trail for seveai years. Hogafs improvement as q boxer and his natural ability to hit with his right hand is expected to be able to match the best that Kefi- nedy has to offer. The bout is ticularly the local boy, who can go to California for some real money if he disposes of the we'll known Kennedy.
 Promising
 Carr and Celli are well-matched for a semi-final go as the Worces- ter walloper is plenty tough and can box much better than Carr, whose major point is his hitting ability. In Pinky Morris and Baby Joe Goozman a match is made that should provide plenty of thrills for the pair are busy boxers and never have dull moment while they are in action. Julius Weigh of New York will do his best to put the crusher on Tor rington Eddie Jessup, while 1risii Johnny Logan will make his local debut against Eddie Mays. Hart ford negro, who will Keep him plenty busy for four rounds. which will open the show at 8:30 p. m. SvaA that AT, other crowd of 2,5OO fans will be on hand to see the action, partic- ularly Hogan. who. under Tommy Loughran's tutelage, has greatly improved, over the preliminary boy he was two years ago.
 Advanced Rapidly
 Following his defeat of Jack Pettifer. English giant brought to this country for the purpose or defeating Camera, Hogan's real ability as a heavyw eight threat be- gan to make the boxing writers sit up and take notice, particularly when they saw him drop Pettifer five times in three rounds at Mi- ami last winter. When he followed that one up with a decisive win over Chester Matan on the Baer. Camera card. he was mentioned as a real threat in heavyweight ranks as soon as he gets the ex- perience necessary to all fighters who are in the stage of progress that he finds himself right now.
 Dan Parker saw in Hogan a fu- ture champion with proper hand ling, and that's just what he's get- ting in Ralph Gold. Hogan has a handler who knows considerable of the inner workings of the bus mess that makes and breaks prom ising youngsters in no time<at all: With the added interest of Bill Duffy, Hogan should get well past first base in the heavyweight ranks. for he's got what it takes to be a champion, needing nothing but little polishing.

GREEN BACKS STRIKE
AS LABOR WEAPON
Barrier to Exploitation,
Leader Says.

By LHitcd Press
RACINE, Wis, July 19.-American
labor was urged last night by Will
liam Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, to hold
fast to the strike as its most effect
i've weapon against exploitation.
The veteran labor leader described
opponents of the aims of striking
unions in San Francisco as people
determined to exploit labor"
when men are denied the privi-
lege of exercising their rights" he
said at the annual convention of the
Wisconsin Federation of Labor,
"they must strike. May labor never
become SO complacent as to refuse
to strike"
