STRATTON And
O'BRIEN DRAW
Jeffries Wins on Fluke
From Miller At
Harrington
Especial 70 The Herald)

DNN
HARLINGEN, June l9.-As pre-
dicted, the fans saw a lot Of wres-
tiinE-both good and bad-here
Tuesday night when Pat OBrien
and Walter Stratton drew In two
hours, and Billy Jeffries won on a
fluke from Walter Miller.
OFBrien and Stratton put on q
clever exhibition Of the wrestling
art. running the gamut OF holds be-
fore O'Brien took the first fall in
an hour and Is minutes with an
OBrien Special. Shortly afterwards
Stratton slapped on a hammerlock
and froze on to it. Although O'Brien
refused TO give up, the referee
awarded the second fall TO STRAIT
ton in AZ minutes. The official said
he was afraid Stratton was going
to break the Irish gargoyle's arm.
The remaining three minutes were
6lSregarded and the bout was called
q draw.
The opener was q slam-bang az
fair with a fluke ending. Jeffries
won the first fall In less than q
minute with a flying butt. He tried
IL for the second fall, and Miller
let him have a hook on the button
That was sufficient, for Ginning
aboard and pinning his shoulders
vas a mere formality.
During their third Soiree. JET
fries knocked the referee colder
than a wedge with a flying butt,
Then Miller pinned Jeffries but
there was no one to award him the
tout. He released his hold and
looked around. That was q mistake
FOR Jeffries clouted him and pinned
him Meanwhile. the referee recov-
cred, came over and awarded the
battle TO JeffrieS.

LAZzERI BIG
AID TO YANKS
Cardinals Still Trying To
Bolster Conviction
They'll Win
CRy The Associated P-ess)

Beside the name Of Tony Lazzeri
on the batting list is the unimpreS-
sive average Of .266.
But those figures don't tell the
story. Ask Tony's Yankee team
mates what they think Of him, and
they will say he is a truly great sec
ond baseman: a baseball man who
thinks more in terms Of team sue
cess than OF personal aggrandiZe-
ment.
Lazzeri has the faculty OF coming
through In the pinches. When the
hit-and-run Is on, he Is probably
the most dangerous man IN the
American League at the plate.
LAzzeri has batted in Al runs SO
far this season. and since the first
N June he has belted home IL runs
or Is hits.
Tony's worth doesn't end on the
attack. His defense record. with the
exception OF one bad splurge. has
been well-nigh perfect.
Heavy rains turned the ball parks
into inland lakes Tuesday and not
a single game was played In either
league. so the boys sat around the
hotels and discussed the indignant
outburst Of Frankie Frisch whose
championship club Is beginning 70
leak a little In the seams.
Having in mind the way the Giants
are rolling along. the boys were a
little skeptical OF those old. old
words. we're not licked vet ... the
season Is still young I. we're play
ing 70 win"
The boys we're OF the opinion
that these words. poured out after
the Cards had taken a 1913 defeat
mt the hands OF the Terrymen. were
tie words OF a man attempting &c
fight off an inevitable conviction.
Dizzy Dean, II would seem. is also
trying to give the impression he Is
confident the Cards will come
through. Before the rout the other
day he yelled TO Allyn Stout who
vas hitting fungoes In front OF the
Cards dugout.
Hey. Stout. pretty lucky gettin'
traded from a last-place club to a
seccnd-place outfit"
"Whadaya mean. second-place
OUTFIT" retorted Stout. Don't you

Dizzy. but we're letting you guys

R-Over the FOSTERING Hudson
Wednesday there came a calm. the
let-down after as fierce a rowing
duel as the river ever has seen
CALIFORNIA; split second triumph
over Cornell in the four-mile varsity
climax Of the e7th intercollegiate
Poughkeepsie regatta.
The scant crowd that braved
driving rains and chilling north
east winds was well dried out, but
still 1t tingled. from neither the
cold nor the wet.
It shivered again as II will shiver
many another time in memory OF
those two great Fights. battling
down the river on the breast OF q
rolling tide, hammering across the
finish line in the purple lnurk OF
the evening so close that only the
officials far out In the river after
many minutes Of debate, were able
TO give them their places.
As great as was the victory for
Callfornia's Golden Bears, climax
ing the first all-weStern sweep in
the history Of the regatta, just SO
heavy was the disappointment and
cnagrin Of the burly boys from far
above Cayuga'S waters.

1t was even more pronounced In
the four crew junior varsity dash
through three miles. where the
same Washington crew that won as
freshmen in 1884 trounced Navy by
three lengths, with Cornell and
Syracuse in that order several more
lengths behind. The Huskies' time
was l4:58 As.
For three miles in the varsity
race IL was anybody's contest. with
Syracuse battling with California
and the great Washington eight
Cornell always was close. Navy
wasn't TO be shaken off.
The final burst to the finish line
was as breathleSs a thing as the

From the shore il looked as II

"Crusades" Costumes
Win Feminine F avor

There's no doubt about the fact
that women will copy and adapt
the costumes Loretta Young is
wearing in "The Crusades."
Although we have had numer-
GUS medieval influences from time
to time in the mode, these grace
full, flowing costumes which Travis
Banton has designed for Loretta
will certainly "top" everything
seen so far along this line. One
important feature is the sleeve
treatment which molds the arm
to the elbow and then descends
in a very feminine type of drapery.
