Syrian, ranked fifth among the
worlds lightweights, the former
featherweight and junior light
weight champion tonight will en-.
ter the ring a 2-to-1 favorite and
a popular pick by many to ad-
minister the first knockout ever
suffered by Sarron.
In rare fighting form as a result
Of three weeks of training, Sarron
probably will enjoy something of
a physical advantage over Bass at
the opening bell. Whereas Bass
was forced to drive down to the
deadline in his effort to make the
129 pounds prescribed, Petey has
progressed smoothly and acquired
a fighting edge without unduly
exerting himself.
Backing up tonight's main
event will be semifinal in which
Eddie Hogan-picked as future
champion by both Gene Tunney
and Tom Loughran-does eight
round battle with Chester Matan.

power of the McCarthy-guided
team to perform such a feat.
If the Yankees play to the pace
reasonably expected Of them, they
will finish With 95 victories and SO
defeats. To reach that standing
they will have to win 19 out ct
their remaining games, and play
at a .613 clip-their approximate
speed of the season thus far.
If the Yankees hold to .613
through the season, the Tigers
still can cop the pennant by win
ming just exactly one half Of
their remaining games. An even
break, 16 victories and 16 de-
feats would give Detroit SO vic
tories and So defeats, a season
percentage of .623 as compared to
95 victories and SO defeats for
the Yankees, a season standing
of GIT Boiling it down, the
Yankees need 3 out of S to Win
if the Tigers break even to the
end.
The Tigers continued their ad-
vance yesterday, overcoming the
Athletics in the tenth inning of
a brilliant game of ball. The
Bengals seem to be able to get
that run when they need it, just
as they got it against the Griffs
on Saturday for Schoolboy Rowe.
The Washington times., 1934-08-27

Let's forget about the National
League for the time being and
concentrate on few figures in
the American League. Just be-
cause six out of the last seven
pennant winning teams in the
American League won 100 or more
games in their season, we will ar
bitrarily set flag requirements at
100 games.
To reach the century the tt
gers must win 20 out of their re-
manning 80 games. That will de-
mand .625 clip, and since they're
travelling at .656 now, the Tigers
surely will not be under great
pressure maintaining the lower
rate of speed. If Detroit wins 100
games playing a full schedule Of
154 games, it will have standing
for the year of $40.
What Yankees Face
The Yankees to win 100 games
will have to sprint through tnelr
remaining 81 games winning "a
and reaching a .744 clip. 1t is
not likely that the Yankees will
do anything of the sort, for it
would mean an increase Of .126
points in their playing speed. AS
this observer sees the Yankees,
they have no such power.
Well, suppose we set less exalted
goals for the teams. Suppose SO
games will be enough to win the
pennant. The task of the Tigers
becomes easier as we graduate the
figures downward. To win SO
games Detroit will have only to
take 18 out of its remaining 80
games, play .563 ball to do it.,
while the Yanks to win SO games
must win % games out of 81. This

YOUR GROCER HAS
This SUNNY Way
TO BETTER HEALTH
Check Common Constipation
with a Delicious Cereal

Food has lot to do with how
you feel and how you look. For in
stance, you need plenty Of ''bulk'
with your meals to avoid the risk
of common constipation.
This ailment frequently causes
headaches, loss of appetite and en-
ergy. Yet, in most cases, it can be
overcome pleasantly and safely by
eating delicious cereal.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN furnishes
f'bulk" in convenient and concen-
trated form. Laboratory tests show
the "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is safe and
effective. In fact, it is much like
that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, the fiber of ALL
BRAN absorbs moisture, and forms
soft mass. Gently, this clears out
the intestinal wastes.
In addition, ALL BRAN provides
vitamin B and iron.
Isn't this sunny way better than
taking patent medicines IS so often
harmful? Two tablespoonful of
ALL-BRAN daily are usually suffi-
cient. Chronic cases with each meal.
If seriously i'll, see your doctor.
ALL-BRAN makes no claim to be a
"cure-all."
Enjoy ALL-BRAN as a cereal, or
cook into appetizing recipes. Be
sure you get Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
1t contains much more needed
"bulk" than part-bran products. In
the red-and-green package. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
