ther's love for the sea, asking no va
cation better than boarding some small
craft with o couple OF cronies and ex-
ploring the inlets OF New England.
He has an experts knowledge OF
yachting.

SHORTER SERIES, MAJOR LEAGUES, GIVEN APPROVAL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Ball Club said here the new major league schedule adopted this year, calling for shorter series and an additional trip around the circuits, has been successful from every an- gle and is here for keeps.
 The hop-sk p-and-jump schedule hardly has given players time to send out laundry but Griffith cred it's it with increasing interest and attendance, and tightening the American League runner-up race.

PICKLES PIRRONE

Balsamo, a subway brakeman on leave of absence to try his hand at the ring game, has piled up an impressive string of victories since he turned professional little over a year ago. In IS bouts he has put the crusher on IA opponents. His most important victory in the mon- ey ranks was scored over Paul Pir- rone, the lad who first put Mickey Walker down for the full count Balsamo had Pirrone down three times right after the opening gong and was floored himself, but he got up to drop Paul three more times before the fight was over It all took only minutes and 24 seconds of fighting in the first round.
 The newest punching sensation was born in Italy g years ago. He

He went in for amateur box ing and, on his way to winning the New York State Golden Gloves title, scored 45 knockouts in 57 amateur bouts.
 Young Otto, the great lightweight puncher of the era which boasted men like Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, took Balsamo in hand and taught him the secret of real punch ing. Young Otto once boasted string of Is first knockdowns, and, what is more important to Bal samo, has the ability to inpart the tricks he has learned to his pupil.
 T0o-Fisted Fighter
 Balsamo punches just as hard with his right as he does with his left. There was time when Young Otto feared he had taught his pupil too well. That was after Balsomo split an opponents scalp as effec- lively as if he had used an axe. Otto decided that Balsomo was likely to get them both in a jam some day with that terrific punch so he decided to stay out of the youngsters corner and leave the job of seconding to someone else.

 And then these short series and trips sort of help keep up a players morale. When you get off to bad start on a road trip, short one, you can keep on scrapping be- cause you'll soon be home.

 Another important angle to many clubs, particularly the second divis- ion teams, is that the short series doesn't offer opportunity for sport pitching" A team cant use the same pitcher twice.

One thing about Promoter Mike Jacobs-he doesn't waste much time making up his mind once a new fistic flasher flashes across the horizon. And he has a decided edge over the other promoters in spot ting newcomers who are destined to interest boxing enthusiasts. Fi- nally, he seldom guesses wrong.
 Right now Mike is determined to show Freddie Steele, the middle weight champion from the North west, in his Hippodrome. He has offered Steele something like s25,- 900 for his first Eastern appear ance. The match was pretty well

 A title bout between Steele and Balsamo would be a corker. Both are terrific punchers and should they meet the betting most likely would be even money on a knock out either way.
