CARVERICK DOG
 ESENSATION OF
 CRESCENT TRACK
Oakland Hoprend Great Stretch Runner Among
 GfeyhOunds

West Springfield, Mass, Aug. 12 He turns on the steam when he needs it--and wins his races with a hundred yards of real rum ming"
 That's what the greyhound fans at the West Springfield track are saying about Oakland Hoprend, "The. King" star of Glen Carver ick's kennels.
 The dog stands out as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in the game today. He boasts of top win honors for the season at the local track.
 What other greyhound owners think of the dog may be deduced from the fact that rival kennel owner at the Springfield oval of- fered Garverick check for the hound a few days ago-a check that ran into four figures. "The dog isn't for sale," was Carver ick's reply.
 It seems to most spectators, when Oakland Hoprend is rum ming, as though due to an uncan- ny racing sense, he centers his ef- forts on one burst of speed to car- ry him past the field and into the lead-at the proper time. and this spurt rarely lasts more than 100 yards.
 "The King does see into size up the field, bide his time, and then pour it on at the proper time, long enough to swing ahead of the pack" said Garverick between races the other night. His chief asset, however, is his ability to circle the pack and cut in without. losing any more ground than ne-' cessary or running any danger of being jostled in getting to the rail-"
 "He likes the outside hole. The outside position gives him a chance to dodge the dangers of the first turn without having to swing out. If you'll notice him next time, you'll see him hold to the outside until just after the field swings around the first turn into the back stretch and is thinning out as they go to the rail. Then he starts to turn on the steam, holding to he outside until he is well clear of the pack, and then slipping into the rail. And the lead is all he wants from then on. You can count him in after that"
 T don't believe the dog has ever been beaten out of the eight hole"
 'Of course, every ownr is proud of good dog. I don't blieve, however. that have ever seen any do gwith the reserve driving pow CT of "The King. And he doesn't have to depend upon using 1t all In a 100 yard spurt. I've seen him run 1t out at that speed from the box to the wir ewhen he had to-"
 "As far as selling him is con cerned. feel this way about him, apart from his ability to, win purs- es. As many folks know, bought him eighteen months ago with the last cent had. He has paid me back and more so. Why should dispose of the dog when he has delivered for me? I've had a lot of dogs, some tops and some that didn't amount to much. But he's "The King"."
 Oakland Hoprend comes rightly by his racing ability. He was sired by ODakland Dictator, Imported, one of the great sires of the grey hound sport. The mother was Dor ritt, another imported hound. "The Kings" full sister, Oakland Harmonica, is one of the outstand- ing performers at the local track.

years. doubt if Tex ever dreamed that a Negro fighter would come along and attain the eminence that Louis enjoys today.
 Also, wonder how old Harry Wills felt when he was leading Louis from the ring to the accom- paniment of cheers from 10000 frantic fans. The Black Panther stalked Jack Dempsey for many years, hoping for a chance at the championships chance to which, in my opinion, he fully was en- titled. But he never got the oppor- tunity, because he was Negro.
 That was Jack Johnson's fault. Rickard was the man to promote the fight, but he consistently re- fused, offering the vague explana- ton that the ''undertow" was against it.
 First Puncher Since Dempsey
 In my mind, Louis is the first good punching heavyweight since Dempsey. The only man who could fight since Dempsey was the man who beat him, Gene Tunney Yet Tunney wasn't hitter.
 Maybe Tunney, at his peak could beat Louis. That's some thing we'll never know. But tn, Brown Bomber would have it sof with the rest of the heavyweight crop of the last few years. What have we had since Tunne. and Dempsey? Heeney the plugger Pauline and Risko the shock ab' sorbers, Campolo the leaning tow. CT, Camera the overstuffed Sharkey with the heart of pea Loughran the fumbler, and Lasky the poorest excuse of them all.
 Oh yes, We also have had Max Baer and Jim Braddock. Baer, the guy who wasn't proud enough to keep in shape after winning the championship, and Braddock, who backed into the title.
 Baer can't get in top shape again, and Braddock, granting that he has a heart as big as New York City, is past his peak.
 What would Louis do to the bunch of them? I'll tell you. He'd stop each one, and wouldn't have to try too hard to do it.

PLAYERS CALL FOR NEW DEAL
 IN U. 5. TENNIS
Davis Cup Defeat Charged to Policy of Ignoring
 Younger Men
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stan Corresponden


 New York -CUP)-- Americas disastrous attempt to win the Davis cup from England has brought a storm of protest from tetnnis play CTS and followers throughout the country.
 The main criticism of Captain Joseph Wears handling of the United States team is not because Winner Allison, veteran Texan, was selected to play both the singles and double in the challenge round, but because America continues to ignore promising young players and refuses to build for the future.
 It was pointed out that even had the United States wrested then tro- phy from England, this country would have had trouble defending it successfully next year because of the neglect in developing young sters for Davis cup duty.
 Two-Year Plan Urged
 The general opinion in tennis circles is that America should se- lect a group of youngsters and start building a team around them now for 1936. Sacrifice a victory in the interzone final if necessary to give the players experience and confidence for the matches two years hence.
 Henry Culley, who recently re- turned from Europe after two years of play on foreign courts, be- lieves America should take squad of five or six youngsters to Europe next ear and campaign them stren- uously.
 "I'd take over Don Budge, Frankie Parker, Gene Mako, Sid- ney Wood and Bryan Grant and let them play in the French and Vim bledon championships and pick the team on their showing abroad" said Culley. "The talk of too much tennis is all the bunk"
 Rival for Austin Suggested
 Winner Hines, South Carolina boy who campaigned in Europe this year. believes that America should concentrate on getting q player to beat Bunny Austin.
 "We always underestimate Aus pests in the Davis cup matches" said Hines.
 Cliff Sutter, New Orleans, No. in the United States rankings, be- lieves that the Davis cup commit tee pays too much attention to the previous years records in selecting a team.
 T think we ought to take big squad over," said Sutter, land let the showings abroad determine the team. Why worry about last years records? They don't mean much. Pick the players when they are hot. If Ellsworth Vines had been named for the team the first year be won the national title, America would have probably won the cup from France. instead of England"

Aces of Sport to Compete in Open Tournament Be-

 New. York-what should prove the greatest outdoor polo season since the swashbucking Santa Paul la riders from Argentina won the U.s s. open title in 1881 will begin earl ynext month at the Meadow brook club, Long Island, N. Y.
 Americas ace high-goalers and q team of Englishmen will ride in the open tournament beginning Sept and 1t is expected that at least seven teams will battle for the highest polo trophy United States has to offer. England Is sending the famous Birmingham club to compete-the first English team to invade Amer ica since the international series, which it lost matches to o in 1880. America will throw perhops six of. its highest-goalsd combina- tions. onto the field in an effort to keep the open cup here.
 Templeton Boasts Strength Foremost defender will be Tenn pleton, last years winner, led by Wnston Guest, nine-goal interna- uUualiSts miho 6APPS, SsS"@A Iglehart, and Raymond Guest round out the defenders lineup.
 Aurors, which won the title Tn 1883, will bein the field lining up with Seymour Knox at No. Il; Jimmy Mills No. 9; Ebby Gerry, No. 8 and Billy Post, back.
 Tommy Hitchcock, Jr., consider ed one of polo's all-time stars, is expected to play with Greentree and Cecil Smith hard-riding Texan, probably will lineup with a team headede by Devereaux Mulburn, veteran internationalist of a decade ago.
 Teams Not Complete
 Personnel of the other American teams has not been completed.
 The British team arrived early this month and has begun practic- ing for the open.
 Members of the squad are: Cap- tainM. P. Ansell, yho is probable No. man; Eric H. Turell- Martin, Captain P. B. Sanger, Captain Humphrey Guinness and Captain H. c. Walford.
 Louis E. Stoddard, chairman of the United States Polo association, believes the appearance of the Eng fish team in the U. $. open will make 195 a banner year for Amer ican polo. A veteran follower of the game, Stoddard, now nearing 60, places Hitchcock as the fore most player of all time.
 Gives Laurcls to Hitchcock
 "When 1t comes to the polo play CTS I've seen," Stoddard said, "and I've seen a number of them III put my chips on Hitchcock. I'm talking about t3he number of things he can do with a polo ball when on horse. Why you'd think he had string attached to that ball the way he was hitting 1t at his prime few years ago.
 "There were other great players --Milburn, Foxhall Keene and oth- ers. If it is value to a team you're talking about, why these men, and maybe one or two others, were as outstanding ct Hitchcock. But l never saw a man who could play that ball like Hitchcock.

aSPTIE FENCE" AT SHIBE
 v PARK C?RBS PIONEERS

Philadelphia, (UP)-The spite fence" at Shibe park has done more than shut off the view from house-top bleacherites. It has put a crimp in the style of American league rightfield home-run hitters.
 A Philadelphia sports scribe re- ported that since the 1885 season began there have been 90 home rum smacks driven against the fence-but they were not circuit hits because the balls bounced back into thep laying field.
 The fence originally was erected to prevent owners of a row of ten- ement housejs from "cashing in : by selling space on the reof of their buildings to fans for 26 cents each. Bleachers. which for years were pn the r0oftops. have been taken out.

Chicago, Aug. 12-The question that has been rampant in boxing circles for the last few months is: "Can Joe Louis take it?" I'll answer the question right nog. Joe Louis certainly can take it!
 If he could not, if he felt, deep within his heart, that he would be untable to stand up against the punch of any man in the world, would he walk in as he does, stalking opponents, and giving them the opportunity at least to put a wild one over? He would not!
 The fact that he shuffles in, flat-footed and eager, is sufficient proof to me that he can take all that any man in the ring today is able to give him.
 saw the great Sam Langford, with whom Louis has been com pared so frequently since he crashed select company, and I believe that Louis has left hook as effective as that of the Boston Tar Baby. I saw the late Jim Corhett, al- though late in his career, and spend many happy hours with him. I believe the young Detroit Negro is just as cool as Gentleman Jis was under fire.
 1 believe that Louis, should he ever encounter distress will dis | guise his trouble as ably as Cor | bett was wont to do, Remember, Corbett was a big light-heavyweight, and he is rated among the rings immortals. Louis, with everything that Cor bett had, plus a devastating punch, is a big and tremendously strong heavyweight, and he is only 21. His possibilities are un- limited.
 Short Left Finished Kingfish
 Right now Louis, to me, is the fistic marvel of the age. He has taken boxing off the flying trapeze and has restored it to fighting worth.
 His fight against King Levinsky brought home forcibly the old storp-the superiority of the straight hitter against the swinger. That was the whole sum and sub stance of that fight.
 Levinsky pulled back his right arm to send a roundhouse at Joe's chin, and instead received a short left to the jaw from which he nev- CT recovered.
 Louis is on top of the boxing heap now, even though he is not champion. There is no man in the ring today who can beat him.
 Somewhere in this broad land lives the boy who will come along and punch him out, but he hasn't been heard from yet. Today he's probably tilling the soil in upstate New York, working in Q mine in Colorado, or picking hops in Ore gon. But there's no doubt about the fact that he is alive.
 He'll come along as Dempsey did, unheralded and unsung, and skyrocketed his way to the top, just as did Louis, whom con- slider the most phenomenal Negro fighter of all time. .
 I wonder what Tex Rickard would have though of Louis, Tex, the man who took boxing out of the pigsty and put 1t in the parlor, so to speak, is dead these many

 Whatever may be done. it Is cer- tain that Americas sixth failure to bring back the Davis cup has caused considerable unrest in ten his circles. Now that Allison and Van Ryn have failed in the dou- bles. and Allison in the. singles. it seems that they should be relieved of Davis cup service and the younger players given a chance.

 New York, Aug. 1--(UP)-The champion Detroit Tigers. booming along just as they were year ago, gradually are asserting their super iority in the American league. <
 Exactly two weeks after they captured the lead from the New York Yankees, the Tigers possess a six-game margin and threaten to make another runaway race out of the pennant battle.
 Mickey Cochrane's men haven't lost a game this month, and while they were chalking up that record the opposition faltered badly.
 The second-place New York Yan- kees slowly but surely are fading from the picture. Tn 12 starts this month, they've won only six. The Chicago White Sox in the race all this season, lost ten and won one since the end of July and trail the Tigers by 12 games.
 The Yankees still are . threat, but injuries have robbed them of valuable players and the will to win seems on the wane. Thus far the Tanks have lost 21 games by one-run margins and scored only nine such victories. They have played five extra-inning games at home and lost them all.
 This week should reveal whether the Tanks are to remain contend- CTS. They begin their last western invasion against Cleveland on Tues- day. Friday they open series at Detroit. The last time these con- tenders clashed, the Yankees suc- cessfully defended their lead on their home field. If the Tanks can cop the series they may gain enough confidence from that to re- main in the race. If they fail, the Tigers ought to breeze to their sec ond title.
 The Yankees lost game and half to the Tigers yesterday by dropping a double decision to Philadelphia's Athletics, s-5 and 5-4, while Detroit was defeating the Shicago White Sox, Al. Wash ington and Boston split, the Sena- tors winning the first, Az, and the Red Sox the second, 5-4. Cleveland defeated St. Louis, 10-7, in an opening game. The nightcap was called because of darkness in the 11th, with the score 7-7.
 In the National league, the New York Giants had a full game chop ped from their slim first-place margin by losing. 20. to Philadel- phia.
 In the aNtional league, the New York Giants had a full game chop ped from their slim first-place margin by losing, 20, to Philadel- phia, while the Chicago Cubs halt ed the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2. The Cubs, in third place, trail the
 Giants by 1-2 games, while the second-place Cards technically are three games behind. The Cubs, al. though closer to the Giants ir games, remain third in percentage because they have played more games than the Cards. Brooklyn
 defeated Boston, 7-5 and 3-2. Gin cinnati and Pittsburgh split, Pitts- burgh taking the first, 5-4. and losing the second, 4-3. s .
