Today, Manager Cronin'S men
hoped for a great start in this
newest test. AS they've put it
many times before, the Jump"
means a great deal.
Revenge I'm Detroit
The last time the Tigers ap.
peared here, an even break in two
games resulted. The Griffs won
the opener BY defeating their old
jinx. Tom Bridges. but the Tigers
came right back the following
day when Vic Sorrell won a 5-to-O
encounter, which was cut short by
rain.
Shortly after, in Detroit, the
Griffs gathered revenge in big
doses by taking two Of three
games. Bob Burke, slender south
paw, scored the first victory by
turning in a 4-to-1 performance.
General Alvin Crowder then
pitched his first full game Of the
year by winning S to 2 in the
finale Of the series. q day after
Earl whitehtIl had lost o 6-to-S
fray, the second Of the set.
CrOwder Pitches Today
Crowder gets another chance to
get into the winning column to-
day, as Manager Cronin has de-
cided to start him in the opener.
Earl Whitehill is to get the assign
ment tomorrow, and Tommy
Thomas probably will be Cronln's
pitcher for Fridays contest. This
win bring Bob Burke and Monte
Weaver into action for Saturdays
twin bill.
Weaver lost his first game in
eight starts yesterday while fling
ing in the second contest Of the
double-header with the Cleveland
Indians.
A home run by Hal Trosky, big
first baseman, in the second In
ming, and singles by Knicker-
booker, Hale. and TroSky with
Ayerill's walk, which resulted in
two runs in the third inning,
spoiled Weaver's chances for VIC
tory.
Harder and Harder
For the Griffs could do little
or nothing against Mel Harder,
Manager Johnson's hurler, who
set Cronin and his gang down
with seven hits and no runs, four
Of these hits coming after the
fifth. The final score was 3 to 0.
The Griffs made merry in the
openiAe encounter, however, as
they hit Oral Hildebrand to all

The southeasterly blow, accom-
panied by heavy rain and some
fog off shore, justified the call
ing off of the races yesterday, for,
while there might have been a
fine test Of speed under condl-
tions presumed to be most favor
able to Yankee style, thousands Of
dollars worth of new sails would
have been put out of commission
by the rain and such old ones as
might have been used would have

First Race Today
Unless the unexpected happens,
Yankee and Rainbow will have
their first race today and the out
come is awaited with interest by
all. Rainbow has shown herself
to be remarkably speedy in mod

of merely being good one in a

NEW YORK, June 20.-Bill
Farnsworth, . South Street boy

He came, I'm told, from one Of

cided that would be q good

he has been travelling fast ever
since.
For more than 20 years
Farnsworth has been a success
fui sports writer and editor on
the Hearst newspapers and
now, according to reliable in

his hand at q new business.
The new owners and board Of

will have, at last, found a man
who knows the score in sports
promotion, particularly boxing,
which is the sport the Garden
was built to house and foster.
In giving 1t as my opinion
thta Farnsworth would make a
successful promoter, I find that
I have the support Of the rec
ords. He haS either promoted
Or assisted in the promotion Of
Il Milk Fund and Christmas
Fund boxing shows without hav-
ing had q loser. Admitting that
In these shows he has had the
important support of the sports
pages Of the Hearst newspapers,
that still remains q record of
which any promoter might well
be proud.
Flood Of Gold
Over o span Of a dozen years
these matches have poured a
flood Of gold amounting to ap-
proximately one million dollars
into the Golfers Of the Milk
Fund. That has bought, and
win continue to buy, thousands
on thousands of quarts Of health
and life giving milk for the poor
children of this city.
The first Milk Fund bout
Greb and Gibbons-was held in
the old Madison Square Garden
on Madison Square, drew a gate
Of $4,000 net and showed
