i Gus" Sonnenberg, former world
heavyweight wrestling champion, pits
his famed flying tackle" against the
renowned "drop-kick" of Joe Savoldi
at Grifnth Stadium.
In by far the most colorful foot ball
duel ever brought TO O local mat,
Sonnenberg will be out to defend q
great record.
Credited both with the national and
local upswing Of heavyweight wres-
tling, .Sonnenberg not only has gone
undefeated here, but has yet to lose so
much as q fall. Bowing In as world
champion against Freddy Meyers in
1928, Sonnenberg won sensationally
with his flying tackle" weapon he
always has capitalized here.
"The big fellows weren't doing so
well here until Gus came along"
Turner declares, "then overnight our
gates scared from hundreds to thou
sands of dollars.
Put Kick In Wrestling.
"Sonnenberg really was the first
wrestler to introduce anything re-
sembling Knockout punch, his head
butt, which Travelled q scant inches,
frequently knocking his opponent
cold. That caught the public's fancy
and is the real reason why so many
heavyweight wrestlers are in the big
dough today"
Following recent airplane invasion
Of South America, where he defeated
the great zbyszkos, Stanislaus and
Wladek, and otherwise remained un-
defeated, Sonnenberg has returned to
this country specifically to challenge
Danno O'Mahoney's right to the world
title. Apprised that tomorrow nights
winner win meet Danno here, "Dyna-
mite Gus" readily accepted Turner'S
offer to meet Savoldi.

Rucker hopes 10 rebuild soon a

"I thought when got through
scouting and recommending ivory I

But, look here, everybody and his

TT WAS dull day when Prof. Arch
Skid Newt paid his annual call,

Il didn't improve 1t much. His first
remark was:
you sports writers have done more
than your share to destroy the beauty
and value of the English language.
You have created q batch Of half
baked SMILES that give of the same
odor Of mental paralysis year after
year, month after month, week after
week, and, for that matter, day after
day. Look at your base ball essays.
Third base Is always the hot corner,
first base Is always the initial sack,
second base"
'But, professor" said, those are
sort of obsolete"
He Has Little List.
" LII RIGHT" said the great sa-
want, maybe they are, but 1t
took 'em 80 years to get that way.
And have with me list of SMILES
which are certainly not obsolete, be-
cause I see 'em every day. I'll read
you the list"
Don't bother, professor" said
your correspondent with consid-
cradle haste. Its all right" said
the scientist. "NO trouble at ALL"
And he read of, in his fine soprano
voice, the following catalog of blue
ribbon clinches:
National League-The senior cir
cult.
American League-The junior loop
Pitchers box-Hill, mound, rubber.
Outfield-Orchard, garden, pasture.
Pitcher-Flinger, hurler, mounds
man, portsider.
Bat-Stick, willow, bludgeon.
Ball - Pellet, apple, horsehide,
sphere.
Hit-Bingle.
Home run-Four ply blow, grand
slam.
Double-header-Twin bill, bargain
bill.
Run-counter.
Tie the score-knot the count.
Before Prof Newt could turn TO
page two of his terrific indictment I
said:
But that's all base ball stuff, pro-
fessor"
"All right" said the philologist. leaf
ing rapidly through the script, try
some of this: Timber er-topper-nat-
Observation-Disclosures pusher-net-
Observation-Disclosures - grappler-
simon-pure-pigskin-"
Believe 1t or not, the siege gun
Of science carried on like this for
some time before could insert an
objection.
But, professor, you have to figure
that the sports writers write about the
same thing, the same patterns, every
day, and they have to find sirniles Of
some kind. And you can't dig up SO
new SMILES every day for 20 years"

ter johnson, now turning gray
and with furrowings wrinkles,
Il our hazy thoughts turned back
to the tall broad-shouldered kid who
came on from Weiser, Idaho, Just 28
years ago.
Just about one wind-up and one
pitched ball were about all this sandy
haired youth from the West needed
to show in his Washington debut. He
had a rifle arm and a pitching motion
no one could mistake.
Today the best of our pitching
talent are shooting at 200 strike outs
200 victims make up quite list.
But In 1919, 23-year -old johnson
struck out 313 American League
batsmen. He bagged 209 in 1911
and 303 in leftover 500 In three
consecutive years.
Gray-haired Walter smiled and
look came into his eyes as
we talked those days over. But you
can get johnson into no argument or
debate about pitching speed or the
fastest pitcher.
johnson admitted there was big
difference between showing that fast
one across when you were % or "a
and trying to keep O crippled ball
club on the heels of the Yankees and
Tigers until affairs finally mended.
In his day and time he sent over
500 hitters back to the bench. OF
course, he had nobody much to strike
out except fellows like Ty Cobb, Joe
Jackson, Iris Speaker, Eddie Collins,
Home Run Baker, Sam Crawford,
Bobby veach, Stuffy McInnis, Duffy
Lewis, Harry Hooper, Napoleon Lajoie,
Elmer Flick and q few other set-ups
of that brand and breed.
No, they couldn't hit much-only
from around $50 to .420-but not
against the young CoffeyviIle ex-
press.
Whatever happens, he has still q
strike-out and Shut-out mark for
the younger generation to face.

parade Of others from 81 States.
This is throwing new young
champion into the middle Of the
lions den.
But Parks hasn't shirked any test
yet, and he has mapped out cam
paign unusual for open champions,
who generally are ready to inhale
their laurel blossoms before taking
too many chances.
It will be interesting to check up
Parks, Thomson and Hagen, who ran
one, two, three at Oakmont, when
they start a new march along the
Keller fairways.
The Davis Cup Barrier.
A NY nation that steps in against

three to play.
For there isn't any one in sight to-
day who looks to have any chance
at all against Fred Perry, who has
turned down more than $50, 900 worth
of professional offers for this one spot.
This forces some rival team
to win the doubles and then
show two men who can beat
Bunny Austin - not . great
player but steady one and . q.

It can be done, Of course, but the
odds are nothing Like even; two down

 "Yes. sir. That's right. We're moving fast. How long is this fall going to last? hope that we land safely in some funny little town"
