Game Goes Early.

TN THE early going of the game
yesterday in which the Nationals
were drubbed, to 5, Whitehill's
lack of control spoiled everything for
the home side. He issued only three
passes, but two of them became runs.
The third went to the first batter
up in the fourth frame and brought
about his retirement
1t so happened that after issuing
each of the first two passes Whitehill
got in trouble with the next batter.

In an effort to get the upper hand,
the batter socked it for three bases.
In that two singles preceded the first
inning walk and one single the Sec
ond-inning walk, the triples tumbled
the ball game into the Tribes tepee
before the Nationals knew what was
going on.
After collecting their five hits and
three walks off the Earl, the Indians
went on to get six more safeties and
two more passes. They got to White

run in the seventh, then in the
eighth turned into tally pass that

He didn't smoke much and his
drinking was confined to beer and the
more lethal brands of pop, but he
liked girls and neon lights. He rode
around In his vast automobile and ac-
quired tips on polite behavior. He
added to his wardrobe at furious
rate. All the SO suits that Max pur-
chased in the early stages of his ca
reer were cut on Los Angeles lines.
They gave him a suave but toutish ap-
pearance, which the boys in the East
described as daffy.
Max did nothing to impair his rep
utation for dizziness. Bill Mcclellan
reported that he prepared himself for
fight with Tom Heeney by butting
his head against the steam pipes in
his dressing room, in the manner of
Bat Nelson. When he first came East
he was introduced to Jack Sharkey.
''Who the hell's Jack Sharkey?" de-
manded Max, before the garrulous

feet away.
"What'd you want to say that for?"
the boys asked him later. You'll

Max, assuming daffy smirk.

NOUGHkEEPSIE, N. Y, June
- 18.-Rowing followers to-
day still were singing the
praises of two great West
Coast crews, the California var
sity and the Washington fresh
men as they reviewed the re-
suits of the renewal Saturday of
the intercollegiate Rowing Re
gatta on the Hudson.
Postponed for year because OF
economic conditions, one of the most
college sports world came back to the
river in all its old glory for one of
the most successful renewals since
the first race in 1895.
A crowd estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000 persons. aboard scores of
pleasure craft in the river, the 16-car
observation train or perched on van
tage points along the shore and on
the bridge, saw a California varsity

victory in the four-mile race and the
husky Washington yearlings row to
a five-length victory in the two-mile
opening contest.
Only a smoothly Stroking Junior
varsity from Syracuse saved anything

ting close victory over Navy in the

BY JOHN LARDNER.

n YEW YORK, June l8.-Our Mr..
N Baer had dropped a decision
VI to Ernie Schaaf and another
i to Les Kennedy in the year
of the death of Frankie
Campbell, 1880. He learned some
thing of ring tactics against these
fighters, but the weapon that distin-
guished him from others and won
him national renown in the following
year was his wild right hand.
Max is a remarkable physical speci-
men only in the symmetry and clean
lines of his body. There have been
many heavy weights who looked more
powerful and durable than he. But
his right hand carries a snap and
finishing stroke that he learned as a
cattle slaughterer. His left has been
praised by a few observers. but its
value to him in the ring is negligible.
When Max could bring his right
home he won, usually by knockout.
When he couldn't, he lost.
Tommy Loughran gave him box
ing lesson in 1891. The lesson was
so effective that the larruper started
laughing at his own futility.
"Why don't you hit him, you bum?"
inquired disappointed ringside spec
tator.
you come up here and hit him"
painted Max. TRY II"
In that year the Californian lost
other decisions to couple Of rough,
tough boys, Johnny Risko and Pauline
Uzcudun. He always tired fast in the
last few rounds, and his 20-round
waltz with Pauline found him gasp
ing and clinging to the hard-skulled
Basque in the closing heats. The
truth of the matter was that Make
had formed q strenuous distaste for
training Of any kind.

Parade of Coast Crews.

TINE varsity race was West Coast
i parade almost from the start
to the finish line. Cornell,
Syracuse and Pennsylvania offered
some early contention and a fighting
Navy crew came up in the last half
mile to almost nose out Washington
for second place, but through most
of the four long miles it was the two
West Coast rivals fighting it out be-
tween themselves, with the Eastern
entries just so many supernumeraries
The California victory was a trib-
ute to the coaching genius Of little
bespectacled KY Ebright, mentor of
the California crews which won
Poughkeepsie and Olympic titles in
1928 and 1882. Taking three untried
juniors and five gangling sophomores
he whipped them in a few short
months into one of the smoothest-
stroking, coolest eights that ever Won
Poughkeepsie championship.
AS every man is eligible for two
more years of varsity rowing the
search for the 1886 American repre-
sentative in the eight-oared event
at Berlin might well cease right
now, with the secretary of the In
vestigating Committee instructed to
cast a unanimous ballot for the
Golden Bears.
1t is bit early to be doing any
thing of the kind, however. especially
with an impressive boatload such as
the freshman crew from Seattle
around. Co-favorites with Syracuse
before the race. the Washington
youngsters more than fulfilled all the
nice things said about them as they
administered a decisive drubbing to
the yearlings from upstate New
York.

Walks Great Aid to Foes.

MOT more than two or three times
~ this season has the Earl flashed
the pitching form that made
him so successful in the last. And
the cause of his misfortune this time
is smeared on his record like the
mouth on Joe Browns pan.
1t is not that the Earl has yielded
an overabundance Of hits all the
way. Monte Weaver over virtually
an equal stretch has been nicked for
about as many safeties, yet has won
eight games and lost only one. The
Earl's great trouble has been lack of
control.
In the IA games he has started this
season, Whitehill has been bothered
by wildness almost continually. He
has granted an average Of nearly five
passes per nine innings. And how
these passes have hurt both Whitehill
and the Nationals
OF the so walks the Earl has given
opposing batters this season, II be-
came runs and 10 others aided in
the scoring against the Washington
club. But Whitehill's wildness has
hurt even more for much of the time
he has pitched himself out to batter
and been compelled to chuck one
through, with result disastrous to him
and his club.

Max's lucrative radio broadcasts be-
cause they interfered with training.
Max has got to behave for a
while" announced Dempsey, always
an earnest trainer himself. We're
fighting the good ones now"
The good ones were Cobb. Swider-
ski and Tuffy Griffith. who were
stopped by Makes vicious right. and
Heaney, Schaaf and King Levinsky.
who dropped decisions to the butcher
boy.
Dempsey now was ready for the
penultimate stab at fame and glory.
He looked about him, talking busi-
ness here and there. Jack Sharkey
was champion, but he had won the
title from Max Schmeling on a shady
decision and Max generally was re-
garded as the foremost heavyweight
of the day. In the Spring Of 1888
Dempsey signed his California killer
with the popular German for a June
bout in New York.
The fight was rainbow's end for
Make. He trained hard. A fine,
eager crowd turned out and saw Baer,
short-ender in the betting, climb into
the ring in the peak of physical con-
dition. The muscles of his splendid
body cleaned and rippled under the
lights. When the gong rang he for
got his veneer of boxing skill and
caution and jumped back to the
slaughter house at Livermore. He
caught Schmeling's chin with his
pole-ax right.
1t took the killer 10 rounds to CON-
plete his little job of homicide. but
he did complete it. When he climbed
out OF the ring again he had Holly
wood gold in one hand and war gold
in the other. He was the most popu-
lar fighter in America.

Still Three Games Back.
THE double victory left the Cards
three games behind the Giants,
who humbled the Pirates. 9 to
3. with the aid of Lefty ODoul's
pinch homer with the bases full. The
losers almost dropped into the second
division, but saved fourth place by
one percentage point when the Braves
and Cubs divided a bargain bill.
Boston won the opener, to 2, as
4-run burst against Bud Timing in
the second carried Fred Frankhouse
to his tenth mound victory. The sec

Brooklyn took two games from Gin

Detroit and New York failed to
reach any decision in their duel for
the American League lead, splitting a
double-header and leaving the Yanks
with the one-game margin they
gained Saturday. Lefty Gomez held
the Tigers to five hits in the opener
to win to 2 for his eleventh mound

on Earl Whitehill did the trick and
ended the Senators six-game winning
streak.

The Nationals had three on with
