Levinsky Says
He'sConning
Champ
BY PAT ROBINSON

CHICAGO, July 31.-Why any
body should want to see, hear or
even dream about the Hon. Harry
Krakow LevinSky, self-styled king
of the ghetto, is beyond me. But
the fact remains that some $4,000
otherwise perfectly normal hui
man beings intend to lay any.
where from 50 to $40 for the
privilege of seeing Joe Louise
bounce few off the regal whis-
kers.
1t might be an entertaining
sight at that. In any event, it
should be pleasing to one and all
for the king has begun to grow
weariSome to the ear.
Few Bets
Strange to say, not a few of the
natives are giving the kingly one
some sort of chance to linger
awhile with the bomber. There
are even some who expect to see
the king land few wild rights on
Joe's dead pan.
Around the loop, the betting
fraternity is wagering no better
than 9 to S on Louis. This can
only be explained by the excessive
heat to which the natives have
been subjected of late.
However, there is little or no
betting and the suspicion Crews
that the boys are turning out for
this one for two laughs, to wit:
the first guffaw when Louis tags
the king and the second when the
king tags the deck.
Promoters like Mike Jacobs, who
is operating far from his domestic
hearth, and Joe Foley will enjoy
a third laugh. It will come when
they count up the gate which
they fully expect to net $3.50, 900.
The local lads assure me this is
no idle dream.
A few weeks ago the writer saw
the Kingfish in New York. At
that time he was sporting q rub
Der tire for waist band. Now
he's rid of that adornment and
has convinced himself, If not
everybody who will listen to him,
that he is a cinch to win.
THAT guy amt never seen a
master like me throw punches
like 1 do. Pm liable to hit him
with one from the roof or one
from the cellar" said the king
earnestly. "DOnt forget I had
Sharkey and Walker and Lough-
ran and guys like that on the
floor and that Louis amt showed
me he can take it. Listen to
me kid, and make yourself some
dOugh-the king is the next
champ and say, won't me and
that BraddOck guy draw mil
liOn?"
There, my friends, speaketh a
king.

Two Cities Tied
For Harding
Golf Cup

INDIANAPOLIS, July 31.-By
nightfan there will be only Is Of
the "a qualifiers in the champion
ship flight of the national public
links tournament left in the run
ming.
For in today's forenoon first
round, 80 of the country's best
public links players, or half the
qualifying field, will have been
eliminated and sixteen more will
fall by the wayside in the after
noon second round. The first,
second, third and quarter-final
rounds will be over the 18.hole
route. The semi-final and final
rounds will be SO holes.
But no matter what the out
come of competition from now
until the champion is crowned
Saturday, this tournament has
been one grand success for Lloyd
Nordstrom, Davenport, Iowa, slic-
ing machine salesman, who left
his slices at home.
Nevtr q Qualifier
Nordstrom, comparatively I'M
known and never before a quail
fier in a national meet, romped
off with medalist honors by scor-
ing a TIA for a total of 145
strokes during the SO holes of
qualifying play. His short iron
game was a high spot of the
meet.
AS individual low scorer, the
unassuming Swede succeeds AL
bert "Scotty" Campbell, former
Northwestern and Canadian anna.
teur champion who was medalist
at Pittsburgh last year with a
card Of IA.
Louisville, KY, and San Antonio,
Tex, were deadlocked in a tie for
the Warren G. Harding Cup, the
trophy emblematic of team su-
premacy, with a total of 612
strokes apiece for the SO holes.
Los Angeles. defending champion,
trailed in third place with 614
strokes.
United States Golf Association
officials directing the meet, today
refused to make known by what
method and when the Harding
Cup will be awarded.
Campbell, and Mike Balega, a
Minneapolis policeman, did not let
NordStrom have things his own
way without a fight. They trailed
the 1owan by just one stroke
apiece with cards of 146.
Match Par
Campbell, along with Lieut.. K.
A. Rogers, of San Antonio, were
the only ones to match par in the
two days of elimination play.
They both scored even 70's yester-
day. Par, until they went out on
the course, had defied all the on
slaughts of the field of 1913 en-
trants.
Players carding 159, of which
there were IL, were forced to go
into extra hole competition for
the nine open places.

PETE Due
Cumberland

CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 81.
Ned Gaines, who handles the
horses of Mrs. M. R. Waugh, of
Virginia, today phoned President
Harry A. Manley, of the Cumber-
land Fair Association, that he was
shipping on eight horses, includ.
ing the speedy Wise Pete, for the
Today meeting, which opens
Maryland's fall racing season, Au-
gust 10.
Wise Pete, three-year-old black
son of Wise Counsellor and Miss
Crestwood, established a new five
eighths track record Of SO last
spring at Hagerstown. He has
since been given a rest and
Trainer Gaines is confident his
charge will wind up the best
Sprinter at this meeting.
George A. SaportaS, jr., popu-
lar young Pennsylvania sports
man, has also applied for stalls.
He raced his horses during the
34-day session at Charles Town,
West Va, and is now giving them
a much-needed rest. However, Sa-
portas, jr., will have his charges
at tops in time for the opening
of this States fall campaign.
President Manley announced
today that he had arranged with
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company to operate daily race
specials from Baltimore, Washing
ton and other Eastern cities.
These specials will stop at Fargo,
which is directly opposite the
front entrance to the race track.
Race Secretary Edward j. Bren-
nan has gotten up an excellent
book for the forthcoming 10-days'
racing. It will be distributed to
horsemen within the next few
days.
In addition to the usual pari.
mutuel wagering, Manager Morti.
mer M. Mahoney will offer the
DAILY Double" on each days
first and third races. This
method of wagering has taken
the racing world by storm and
should result in making the
forthcoming meeting q financial
success.

CHICAGO CUBS WON TWENTYTHRE GAMES OUT OF LAST rs
GRIST OF THE GRIFFS
BY FRANK "BUCK" o'NEILL

Well, if you weren't there early
you certainly didn't see Hayes in
action. Hayes passed Bishop and
Johnson, pitched a single to Gro
min and had two wide pitches on
Rick Terrell when Harris gave
him the thumb.
Unser Fritz Ostermueller had
his own troubles getting the ball
over in the first inning and passed
two men. His generosity led to
Washington run.
Melo Armada cut away under
a pitch in the second inning and
hoisted an easy fly to Dee Miles.
The Mexican youth will make
mighty few hits if he continues
that style of cutting.
Dusty Cooke, former Yankee,
has broken into the lineup in
center field for the Red Sox.
Cooke hasn't started to hit as he
undoubtedly will with constant
work. He certainly could tag that
ball when with New York.
The teams chased each other
through the run column, both of
them walking.
Terrell Hits One
Rick Terrell hit ball away out
to the left field fence and it
didn't seem as If he even tried to
hurry the bat through. That
probably is why the ball rode so
far.
Cronin had little respect for
Manush's arm in the third. He
tore right for the turn to home
although Heinie had the ball. 1t
was a long throw at that.
Melo Armada has to readjust
himself as a right fielder. He
had the players pretty we'll tabled
in center, but the right field shift
is sufficiently different to bother
him bit.
Ostermueller whipped two con-
troll strikes over on Powell in the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-07-31

third inning, causing our Jacob
no little sorrow and surprise. The
crowd shared only the surprise.
Bishop dropped a double at
Schulte's feet, the veteran playing
the ball none too well. Then AL.
mada clipped a two-bagger off the
right field wall, a well-hit sock.
Holbrook was looking for the
customary Cripple" in the fourth
inning with the count 3 and !.
Instead of pitching a nothing
ball, Ostermueller clipped the in
side corner with a perfect curve
for the second strike. Holbrook
then famed and Schultz was
doubled trying to steal second.
Cooke famed in the fifth in
ming but Holbrook muffed the
third strike and Dusty ambled to
first. He was out stealing, how.
ever, and Holbrook felt better
about the whole business.
SIashes Liner
Heinie Manush slashed a ter
rifle liner down to Dahlgren in
the fifth inning. The Sox fielder
chung fast, and Heinie's comments
were positively sulphuric.
Powell's double in the sixth
was a rank scratch. Cronin
poached on Roy Johnson's terri
tory chasing the ball and then
failed to touch the ball. John
son could have made the play
with ease.
Manush turned in a neat cap
ture on Rick Ferrell's shot in
the fifth inning. He raced back
to the fence and made his grab
in his gloVed hand.
Bluege's hit in the sixth in
ming skidded almost at right
angles and worked it's way into
the base hit column. If the ball
had stayed on its original line
of flight it would have been
fielded close to second and would
have been a fairly easy chance.

NEW YORK, July 81 G.N.S0.
While the eyes Of baseball are GEN.
tered on the New York Giants and
the st. Louis Cardinals, who were
slated to be the contenders for the
National League pennant, a casual
glance toward Charley Grimm's
fastmoving Chicago Cubs might
not be amiss. For the Bruins are
coasting along under the impetus
Of a winning streak which has hit
10 straight, making their record
show % winnings in the last rs
games played.
The Giants took much Of the
fight out of the Cards in their
recent series by winning four
straight after dropping the first
two contests. All the other West
ern teams have given the Giants
q chilly greeting, gaining an even
break in the last hinterland inVa-
sion of the Terrymen.
Meanwhile the Cubs, in addi-
ton to taking four straight deci-
sions from the Giants, continued
to win while the New Workers,
badly crippled, staggered about
the West.
Root Pitches Well
The marked improvement Of
Chuck Klein and Frank Demaree,
the sensational playing Of Phil
Cavaretta, rookie first sacker, and
the return to form of the vet
eran hurler, Charley Root-all
these factors label the Cubs as
very serious opposition for the
banner.
In winning their tenth straight
yesterday, the Cubs, behind the
four-hit relief pitching of Bill
Lee, floored the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates, 9 to 6. French started for
the Cubs and was removed un-
der fire in the initial frame, as
the Buccaneers tailed four times.
The Cubs overcame the Pirates
4-to2 lead with four in the Sec
ond, and added three more to
the fourth.
BY winning, the Cubs came
within a game of the Giants who
split bargain bill with the lowly
Phillies. Three eXGiantS gained
sweet revenge in the opener.
Johnny VergeZ blasted out two
home runs, Joe Bowman kept the
Giants 10 hits we'll scattered, and.
George Watkins hit single,
double and a triple, to aid in the
11-to-5 Philly win. In the closing
setto, Hal Schumacher won for
the Giants, 8 to 3, as he held the
PhilS to eight hits, and coasted in
behind a 6-to-0 lead in the first
three innings.
The st. Louis Cardinals, after
getting away to a 5-to-1 lead over
the Cincinnati Reds, saw them
come back strong in late innings
to exc out a 6-to-5 win. Bottom
1ey'S double and Lombardi'S single
in the ninth produced the win
ming run.
Rowe Loses Again
In the American League School
boy Rowe was again defeated as
the st. Louis Browns took the
measure Of the league-leading De-
troit Tigers, 8 to 6. Julie Solters'
four-sacker with two on in the
seventh sewed up the contest.
The New York Yankees, contin-
uing their evil ways, dropped
their first game in Shibe Park
this year, as the Philadelphia
Athletics won out, 6 to S. Frank
Crosetti'S error set the stage for
the winning homer by Paul Rich
ards when he juggled a grounder
by the lead-off man, Pinky Hig-
gins. After two were out Rich
ards came through with his cir
cult smash.
The Chicago White Sox, max
ing their bid for second place in
the league standings, came with
in game Of the Yankees, as they
defeated the Cleveland Indians,
8 to 6.

4 Big PLANES
FLY In HERE

-Four huge blue Curtis Condor air
planes. new from the factory In St
Louis, stood im~pressively lined ur
&C the side Of the field at the airport
nere wednesday, and will take of
early Thursday with africa, Peru
as o destination. to be put into SER
vice IN q new airline there.
The airline is now In operation,
according to II. I. Wells, president
OF the Tampa-New Orleans Tampico
AirlineS. Inc, q New York corpora
ton owning both the airlines and
the new planes here.
Wells said in response to ques-
tioning that the line in South
America which extends from BuenoS
Aires 70 Araquipa, Peru, with africa
as headquarters, is not q competitor
OF Pan American, and is not an az
filfate. He said the company plans
TO eventually extend northward, with
Tampico as a probable northern ter
minus, but doubted II the Tampa
New Orleans ampico route would
ever be flown.
"Wedel-WilliamS is planning tc
fly this route" Wells said, speaking
Of the route circling the bay from
Florida TO Brownsville.
His company. he said, might work
porthward over the water route 70
Florida.
The big Condors which are here
now came in at 5 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. Advance information was
that they would not stop until they
reached Tapachula, Mexico, and that
motor trouble with plane caus-
ed them TO stop here.
The planes have auxiliary gas
tanks in place Of seats, and are cap
able Of making a 3,000-mile flight
without stopping. Wells said they
contemplated 10 attempted record
nonstop flights, but were merely
equipped to fly long distances with
out having TO stop for %refueling.
He said they would fly TO the
southern tip of Mexico early Thurs
day, and on the next hop would 60
to the Canal Zone or farther.
Eight persons are with Wells, who,
incidentally. was one Of Pan Ameri-
can Always first pilots. flying the
Key West route back in 1927.
In the group are Earl Smith, Rob-
ert Supple and William Alexander,
pilots; r. K. Gray, recently COM
munications department man for

system Of radio stations for the new
line. j. Johansen. who will be main

who was with Pan American Air
ways some time back: Wayne Cam,

recently Of Eastern Airlines. traffic.
The big Condors are powered with
the same motors as the Douglas Air
liners OF Pan American Anyways, and
are capable of carrying the same
passenger load. Is. They are BIZ
planes, and have a cruising speed OF
ITS miles an hour. and an effective
ceiling of about $4,000 feet, Wells
said.
