YarOsz Favored in
Title Bout Tonight
MiddIeWeight Champ Faces
Babe RiSko.
BIZ Lnitcd Press

BIZ United Press
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19-Betting
odds today were slightly in favor
of Teddy Yarosz to defend his mid
dleweight boxing title successfully
against Eddie Babe Risko of SYRIA
cuSe, N. Y. when the pair clash at
Forbes Field here tonight.
Teddy. whose injured right knee
apparently has mended completely,
was relying on a sturdy left jab and
his effective right cross to hold the
Syracuse challenger in check.
RiSko won on a technical deci-
sion over YaroSz in a non-title fight
in Scranton, Pa, last New Years
Day and the stigma of that set
back has hung like a cloud over the
titlehOlder.
Tonight'S bout, a 15-rounder, was
expected by promoters to draw a
$4,000 gate.

through their workouts daily at

Coach Don R. Knight issued a
call for fall track and it was

warrior to repel Louis.
No rugged catcher" like Heeney,
Uzcudun or Risko is going to per-

on the order of Baer and Levinsky
are out. So are overstuffed circus

knocked out OF the pennant race in
September.
The modern record of 26 straight
victories, established by the Giants
in 1916, is beyond the Cubs grasp
because they have only eight games
to play. But, in turn, their new
record practically is beyond the
reach of any other major league
team as far as 1885 is concerned.
The Giants have IS games left
and, if they halt the Cubs in the
final game of their series today, can
equal it by winning their remaining
IA. The Philadelphia Athletics al
so have Is left. The Cleveland
Buckeyes, who have won their last
six, have 10 left in which to do as
well as Chicago. The others are out
Of the running.
Cubs Have Won More
Barring a complete breakdown in
the next week and a half, the Cubs
are the likeliest team to oppose De-
troit in the world series. Although
only two and one-haf games ahead
of st. Louis, the Cubs have an
easier path toward the pennant be-
cause they have won more and have
fewer left to play than the world
champions.
The Cubs have only eight games
left-five Of them with st. Louis.
If they win only four more. the
Cards will have TO take 8 of their
remaining II to tie and nine to win.
The Giants, six and one-half games
behind Chicago, need IA out of Is
TO tie, and IS to win.
Root Promotes Record
Charley Root, 35-year-old right
handler who won only four 1884
games, pitched the Cubs to their
record as the Giants were defeated.

ing into the seventh, defeated
Brooklyn, 6-3. Paul Dean relieved
Wild Bill HalIahan at the start of
the eighth, bringing the Dean
brothers total appearances to Is
IN the last 18 games. Pittsburgh de-
feated Boston, So, and Cincinnati
beat Philadelphia, 6-5.
The Detroit Tigers had their
American League lead cut to eight
games by losing, 4-3, to Boston.
The runner-up New York Yankees
gained half game by splitting with
st. Louis. The Browns won the

Max Likes to Coast

IRON the outset, Baer liked to
Il wage his own kind of warfare,
with plenty of time out for coast
ing. Louis will not permit him to do
this. I suspect that the ex-cham-
pion will think that he is in a battle
royal in the opening heat, and his
efforts against Primo Camera and
Jim BraddCck give us plenty of room
to believe that he no longer can
maintain a stiff pace.
The heavyweight division should
improve with Louis leading the pro-
cessiOn. Camera mumbled some
thing to that effect when the Negro
clouter had finished hammering him
into a helpless hulk, and I have an
idea that Baer will agree with the
Venetian Leviathan along about II
o'clock on the night of the gath.

Crossing Elimination
Comes to the Fore

To the Editor of The Times:
One wonders sometimes, after
accidents such as the one that
cost IA young lives at Rockville
the other night, why railroad
trains are permitted to rush with
tremendous speed over the coun-
try, crossing highways traversed
by thousands of automobiles,
many of them travelling at more
than wise speed.
I do not believe the railroads
should be compelled to cease oper-
alton, nor do I believe they shoulo
bear the entire burden Of elimi-
mating grade crossings. But I do
believe the various Federal, State
and local governments should
compel the railroads to initiate
the grade crossing elimination,
the governments to bear half the
cost, the rails the rest.
With billions being spent on re-
lief jobs that have little or no
practical value. other than to fur.
niSh a meagre existence to those
hired, it seems the time is about
ripe to put every well-traveled
highway under or over railway
tracks, so that such as the Rock.
vile disaster will not be repeated
with the frequency that has
marked such tragedies in the past.
