DIRT TRACK KING
 OF NORWICH AT
 WINDSOR SUNDAY
Pusateri, Steady Winner of Auto Races Entered
 At Windsor

The Pusateri Special, owned and operated by Mike Pusateri sensa- tional Norwich dirt track king, will qualify to enter the main rac- ing classic at Sage park Speedway, Windsor, Connecticut, Sunday aft ernoon, August 12th, a high honor which the Norwich daredevil easily deserves.
 Pusateri has pitted his powerful home-built racing car against same of the speediest drivers in the east. Pusateri first attracted attention at the Norwich fair grounds where he won the three mile elimination race and was leading the field in the final race when motor trouble developed.
 However, a few days later at Stormvillye, New York, Pusateri won both the five mile elimination race and the ten mile final. At Bristol, Pusateri won the three mile elimination race and finished second in the final. Pusateri fig ured to win this race but had more trouble with his motor and had to be content with second money.
 Big Victory
 Pusateri's crowning glory hap pened at the Rockville fair grounds where he completely outclassed his rivals winning the ten mile classic. Pusateri's nearest rivel in this race was Carl Balkus, who the fans re- member for his great race against Pusateri at the Norwich fair grounds. Pusateri completely out classed his rivals, winning the Rockvillue race from such stars as George Rice, Way and Wassick.
 Pusateri has also raced at the Eastern States fair at Springfield Cherry park, Huntington Speedway and at Aeadville, Mass.
 The foregoing summary of Pusa- teri"s racing activities shows his cofplete daring and ability in the have endeared him to the hearts of racing fans. The most conspicuous part of the whole matter is the fact that Pusateri and his brother com pletely made their own car New England fans wish Mike Pu- sateri the best of luck and hope he isvictorious Sunday at Sake park
 Among other entries received to- day by Dick Dunn, was that of Doc Morris who finished second in the July 4th race at Readville, Jimmy Nelson, racing out of Beverly Mass, Eddie Morel of Hudson Mass. and Charley Paine from South Hanson, Mass.

'M'LARNIN POINTING FOR THE NEXT BOUT
 WITH BARNEY ROSS
In Good Condition at Van- cOuver NOw-Plays
 Baseball, Too

Jimmy McLarnin, who never lost a return match in his entire career, is not mourning the loss of the welterweight championship now. Jimmy felt badly abuot it when Barney Ross snatched the bauble from him, but he has forgotten about it and living for the day when he will get the chance to win it back.
 At present Jimmy is having the time of his life out on Vancouver Island in Canada, where he owns big estate. He has just written a letter to a friend in New York in which he relates that he is doing everything to keep his fine physical condition and that when the hard, tough days of training set in again he'll have nothing to do but brush up his boxing.
 Likes Diamond Game
 I've been playing baseball" writes Jimmy. That's great exer- else for the legs and the game is an eye-sharpener, too. There is the application of nearly every muscle in the body for the diamond game and that is fitting me perfectly for my next fight with Barney Ross, which, as you know, takes place at the Madison Square Garden Bowl on Sept. 6.
 "I haven't much to do in the mat ter of weight this time. That 147 pounds I have to make is prac- tically catchweights for me. I'll not have the worry about going any lower, but will be able to eat and do what I want and still show that 147 pounds without trouble. Right now I am only pound or two, if that much, over the weight, so you see all I need is plenty of good boxing. Then I'll be ready to take that crown I loaned to little Barney Ross right back again."
 Lester Lauds Jim
 Jimmy's statement is corrobor- atedby Lester Patrick, the leader of the New York Rangers hockey team. Lester is out there right where Jimmy is located, also doing some work for his own season which is not so far away. Patrick wrote to Jack Filman, of the Gar den hockey staff, that McLarnin really looks great. The hockey mentor tells about baseball game in which Jimmy played with Les ter on his side.
 That kid can do anything in athletics,' writes Patrick. "He would makeNa good baseball play CT, I think How he can hit that ball! It was his home run which won a game for us, 13 to 12, the other day and besides that he is showing great speed in the field and on the paths, which is some thing I don't think he had the last time he fought Ross"

 No baseball fan is more rabid than the Brooklyn variety, or more prone to throw pop bottles from the bleachcrs or discuss the man. ner of play in one-sided screamed conversations with the manager.
 Fans Manager
 Robbie was a fans manager. During a game, he'd just as soon discuss his ideas with the bleach critics as not, and he recevied great delegations of them in the club house after games.
 He was a "master-mind" in the true, rather than thu sardonic sense of the word. Loaded with guile was Uncle Wilbert.
 In his early baseball days, .here was a long stretch in which an ex- ceptional number of batters were retired on foul tip Gin those days the batetr was out on any strike il he tipped the ball). It was Charley Comiskey who discovered that Robbie, by crackingtthe fingers of his hand, could initiate a foul tip perfectly. :.
 Earlier in his career he aspired to heavyweight wrestling fame. He had watched the late William Null doon in action, and Greco-Roman wrestling nearly wooed him away from baseball.
 On Both Sides
 His first game as catcher, the position at which he became the best of his day, found him playing on both teams. The rival catcher, playing against the Hudson Boys split his finger, and Robbie did the backstop work for 10th sides.
 Anecdotes of Hobbies career with Brooklyn are innumerable. He once sent Al Cohen to bat twice in the same inning as a pinchhir- ter. The first time Cohen hit safely and came home. Later a relief Tor the pitcher was needed, and Rob- bic waved Al from the bench.
 The Dodgers themselves partook of his color" and 1t was not un- common for them to outrun each other on base paths or bat out of turn.
 But out of it came the Robins" "a name that designated the Brooklyn Dodgers during the sev- enteen years of Robbie's reign.

TODANS :SPORTAPAEADE b8MHal@
By THEON WRIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug 9.-UP)-The Pete Reilly School of ThougN, which made such strides in the management of boxfighting cham pionships, has suffered a severe re- verse at the hands of the New York boxing magistrates.
 The boxing magistrates yester- day turned down, for the second time, the proposed light heavy weight championship match be- tween Bob Olin of Brooklyn and Maxie Rosenbloom, the champion.
 This is a direct blow at the Reilly system, which has for it's chief purpose the long continuance of boxfighting championships un- der a sympathetic management. For example, MT Reilly retained possession of the featherweight title, through various "frong men," from about the time of Caesars in- vasion of Gaul until the day Bat ting Battalino got too fat.
 Under the Reilly system, it was not even believed necessary to use an extra manager for the purpose of transfer. MT Reilly did the whole job himself. One of his front men" was Andre Routis, the Frenchman. who held the feather weight title, by appointment with MT Reilly, from September 2S, 1928. until September 23. 1929.
 On that latter date the title was transferred to Battalino, and Mons Routis always claimed one of the contributing causes of his defeat was the disconcerting vision of his manager. friend, and counsellor, MT Reilly, in the corner occupied by Battalino.
 MT Reilly, who had in the nat ural course of events, become Bat talino's manager, thus held the title until. through no fault of MT Reilly's Battalino could not make 126 pounds.
 Tn the present instance, the rules of the Reilly system were violated by having two managers instead of one, which is what led to all the trouble. MT Harold Scadron Is technically Olin's manager and MT Frank Bahman has the same rela- tion with MT Rosenbloom.
 However, MT Bachman forgot himself and supervised MT Scad- ron's man, Olin. out on the coast. This was unfortunate, and would certainly not have happened to MT Reilly, because MT Reilly never needed two managers to do his business.
 So when Mir Scadron appeared yesterday before the boxing mag istrates and asked if his man could please ficS MT Bachman's Rosen- 'Foom for the title. the boxing magistrates drowned severely and explained that it was their old fashioned theory that the same guy should not manage two opposing fighters.

Totem Pole Golf Play Arranged For August %

Jasper Park Lodge, Alberta, Aug 9.-For many years past the golf ing fraternity of the United States have played very prominent part in the new internationally famous totem pole golf championship held each summer in the Canadian Rockies. For two of the eight years of its life the magnificent silver trophy has been in custody of an American player, when Gar diner White, a great golfer from New York, captured the champion ship in 1929 and 1880.
 Last year Thomas Green Jr, of Seattles worked his way to the finals against Jack Starky. of Ed monton and former Seattle resi- dent. The golfers from Washing ton and Oregon have always sent a strong contingent and in 1883. al- though they did not capture the in- dividual honors, their team of six players won the international team championship.
 Large Group
 Washington is sending back more than twenty players again this year in an effort to take the trophy to that section of the coast for the first time. The competi- tion now attracts golfers from all parts of the continent and is play ed over one of the finest champion ship golf courses in North America. Golf week this year is from August 26th to September 1st.
 The trophy is perfect specimen of the silversmith's art and is a duplication of one of the most fa- nous Indian totem poles on the Pacific coast The trophy goes to the winners club for one year, while a replica is presented to the champion as a permanent posses sion,

 Salt Lake City, Utah (UP)-A bicycle and an n-sinewed youth first proved Utah's salt flat might aid travellers rather than kill them. The railroad displaced the pion- eer's OK cart but 1t feared the shimmering furnace. Steel rails twisted through mountain passes nort.lward.
 In 1yGG an enterprising news paper publisher decided it would be good stunt to pony express q special dispatch from San Fran cisco to New York by bicycle.
 Mapping Route
 At Cheyenne, Wyo, the task of mapping a, route westward was turned. over to William D. Big Bill' Rishel, to-day president of the Utah Automobile Club.
 He followed the northern detour. But, coming back, the thought of cutting off 800 miles of pedaling by crossing the salt fiat intrigued him.
 "They told me I'd die" he says. But 1 was like most young fel- lows in a hurry. the shortest way was the quickest"
 Plenty of Water
 He talked companion into go- ing with him. They took four canteens apiece, stuffed some sand wiches into pockets, and set out.
 We started from the edge of the desert at ? a. m.,.' Rischel re- lates. "The first few miles were great-the. salt made the finest possible travelling and we went 20 miles an hour"
 But surface for that pace didn't last. The wheelers struck mud soft sticky mud that clogged their wheels and forced them to dis mount. They packed their mounts on their backs, mile after mile, the ooze sucking at their feet.
 Water Gone
 At noon their water was gone. They found trickling spring and waited two hours for one small drink to collect in their canteens. But they crossed.
 In 1907 the third railroad to penetrate Utah took a leaf from RischeIs book and laid it's steel across the fiat. The ties and rails fell almost upon the tracks of his bicycle trip.
 Automobiles were then begin ming to "scorch' the roads of America. The first trans-continen- tai tourists. their senses whetted by the first taste of speed, wanted the shortest road.
 Sponsored Desert Highway
 Rischel, now an auto club ex- ecutive, turned upon as sponsor of a highway across the desert. He answered critics by pointing out he'd been across it-and a railroad had followed,
 His efforts resulted in a federal highway being completed in 1924. Engineers overcame the sucking mud and shifting salt by series of trenches and mud dam for the road bed.
 To-day, purring cars are sym bolic of the flats equalization to man. The coup de grace may be administered by the roaring mo- tors of Campbell's BluebiAi.
