That mo is in againl
 Jack Sharkey, the Garralous Cob, is going to fight Joe Louis. The for mer world heavyweight champion has been signed to meet the erst- while Brown Bomber over the To- round route
 Anyone with the temerity to sug- gest the possibility of such a match a couple of months ago would have been rushed to a padded cell. But the little picture has undergone considerable revamping since last prng
 At that, it seems a pretty good match for Joe Louis to make for his initial comeback effort. Shar- key has fairly well-educated left hand, but little or nothing in the way of a punch. The years. and the life of ease he has had have robbed him of much of his speed. If the Bomber doesn't make short work of the former champion he might just as well make up his mind that he is never going places.
 "Link With the Past"
 Sharkey stands as the lone con- meeting link between the golden era of boxing-the time of Jack Demp- sey and Gene Tunney-and the present He is the only heavyweight of note still operating who fought Dempsey,
 Tho muffing of his big chance is the first thing that stands out in the former sailors career. Few of his fights had satisfactory end ings whether he won or los. He finally caught up with the heavy weight championship when he out pointed Max Schmeling in 1882. The following year he was counted out when Primo Camera floored him with right uppercut, mystery punch which few ringsiders saw.
 He went into retirement. Per manent retirement, he promised. But the dull life of a squire and bartender made him restless And when Joe Louis came laundering down the fistic highway, Sharkey dug up an old pair of gloves and resumed training.
 He Beat "Black Panther"
 He could always whip those ne- gro fighters, he insisted. He point ed to his victory over Harry Wills that came when Wills was Jack Dempsey's personal Black Menace. No one wanted any part of Wills then, and to the everlasting cred it of Sharkey it must be reported that he walked in where other heavyweights feared to tread and proved the Black Panther to be

ELEVEN THRILL
 CAME BETWEEN CUBS, BEES

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 3. = The Chicago Cubs nipped the Boston Bees l to in an eleven-inning thriller last Saturday afternoon.
 Tex Carleton baffled the Boston ians the full route while his pitch ing foe, Joe Lanning, held the Cubs until he was pulled in the tenth inning for pinch hitter. In the eleventh inning, the Cubs got to relief pitcher Bob Smith for the decisive run which was gained on three hits.

This evening at 6:30 o'clock the Moose and the Legion will replay their contest of three weeks ago. At that time, only five Legion ball players were on the scene, and after picking up the rest of the team they were defeated by the Moose. The Legion team was reorganized just after that game, and the Moose agreed to count the game as prac- tice contest to be replayed later.

MOOSE DEFEAT DOUGLAS, GOOD
 GAM E SUNDAY
Fast Contest Played with Both Teams Hustling
 All the, Time

Real hustle, real hurling, nearly perfect baseball, and nearly per feet baseball weather all went to make for a smashing windup to the season here yesterday, except that there is, still seven postponed games to be played. But, as for yesterday afternoons game between the Moose and Douglas, there was as fine a contest as any fan can hope to see, with the Paps having a slight edge at the plate to nose out two to nothing win in nine innings. With both hurlers, Claude Erskine for Douglas and Tal Pic mini for the Moose working in fine form and at a great rate of speed, and with hitters and field CTS all in the right spirit and on their toes, the game was played in one hour and forty minutes, less time than is usually taken by seven period fracas.
 HurlerS in Good Form
 Both chuckers allowed only seven bingles, but Picinini scattered his where they did not damage. except for threats in the second, sixth and ninth, while the Paps hung togeth- CT Picininis triple and Hawkins single for the first tally in the op- ening frame and Forsythe's double followed by Picinini's one-baser in the eighth marked up the other counter of the game.
 HomerS Nipped
 In case two or three feet are ever Topped off the top end of the light pole at the corner of the left field fence under cover of night by per sons unknown, do not call Philo Vance. Earl Forsythe, Pap short patcher, will be the nigger in the kindling, for that same light pole fingered Earl out of a circuit clout yesterday in the eigth inning. Earl hit towering fly, far over the fielders head and far over the fence, except that on the way to far pastures the ball hit the very tip of the pole and bounced back into the open where it was re- trived by Mcdonald in time to hold Earl at second. Ask Earl about it he can really tell you what hap pened.
 Good At Stick
 Tal Picinini and Bob Williams were the big stickmen yesterday, both getting three for four, but Tal had a, small edge as he got a triple, double and a single while Williams got only three nice sin gles. Close behindd them was For sythe, with single and a double in four trips. Everybody played nice bill in the field, with For sythe, Schmitz and Werner prob- ably doing the best for the Black sox, even though Schmitz and Warner did make the only pebbles of the game. Manning, Mcdonald and Roller were right in there for the Islanders. Douglas turned in a good enough game yesterday to win nine out of ten Channel League contests.

BAVARD FARM YIELDS
 LARGE CROP OF ALL KINDS OF VEGETABLES

Nick Bavard, of the California Grocery, operating a farm on the Glacier Highway in connection with this business, says the past few months have proved to be the most wonderful growing season yet ex- perienced. The yield of cabbage, carrots, turnips, beets and all other root crops have exceeded any ex- pectations and that his problem now is to dispose of this years yield.

wood Field in Baltimore Saturday at
3 o'clock.
The Terps have game with Penn
State at State College on May 80 as
their finale, but this clash should not
menace Maryland's clean slate in col
lege play if it can get by the Blue
Jays Saturday.
Hopkins. though, is not going to be
easy. The squad possesses great po-
tential power. and Maryland has been
hit by the loss of Jim Hart, highly
capable cover point. who was injured
last Saturday morning in an auto
mishap. His loss not only weakened
the regular array. but Maryland has
been shy of defense reserves all sea-
son.
The game should measure up to the
hot battles of the past.
The Maryland base ball team left
this morning to play Rutgers at New
Brunswick this afternoon and to meet
Army at West Point Saturday. The
Terps have the Southern Conference
and State honors tucked away, but
have chance to add to their fine rec
ord that now stands at IS wins against

Caddy Handicaps Patty.

GONE of the Americans were as
~ we'll plagued throughout the tour
nament by poor caddies, Mrs. Hill
using up no fewer than four. They
were forced to use carriers assigned
by the caddymaster after the pick
of the bag toters long since had been
grabbed by the Britons.
Miss Berg, for instance. had a
caddy who had been on the course
only a fortnight before the champion
ship started and he was not thorough
" familiar with the distances. This
cost her heavily in her match against
Elsie Corlett
The Americans were unable to en-
ploy professional caddies, because they
were not willing to work for four
shillings round. which tax is stip-
ulated by the Ladies Golf Union.
After much thought, Mrs. Maureen
circuit Crews of Coral Gables, Fla,
decided that combination of change
in climate and food was responsible for
the Americans failure.
After all, though" she said, you
must remember the odds are against
us, because we are greatly outnum-
bered."
Mrs. Leona Cheney of Santa Mon
lea, Calf, ascribed it partly to the
"unfriendly" attitude of the gallery
which always was pulling for the
Britons.
Patty Berg, however in the final
analysis, gave the best personal re-
action of them all

this current road trip Travis has made

In 1884 and 1885 many critics pointed

Rogers Hornsby said. IF he can't

try, Griffith and Harris agreed, and
for a time it looked as though the

success. During Spring training Travis

near Pittsburgh, Pa. Official an
nouncement of the tourney will be
made by the P. G. A. within a few
days. but meanwhile all details, in
Guiding the $4,000 guarantee, have
been arranged between the club and
the national professional golf body.
The 1886 tourney. in which Revolta
will defend the title he won last year
at Oklahoma City, will be played over
the famed No. course at Pinehurst,
marking the first time the p. @. A.
championship ever has gone so far

1t was played at the Five Farms
course of the Baltimore Country Club
in 1928, and was won that year by
Leo Diegel.
Winner to Get a Grand.
THE P. G. A. tourney. while not
the most lucrative in point of
money winnings by the tournament
stars. rates very close to the national
open as q potential money-maker,
and is growing in importance each
year. Last year 1t was offered to the
Congressional Country Club. but club
officials said they did not want it
at that time. The winner receives
$1,000, which is important money,
but is not as much by $500 as the
winner of the Butmore affair at Miami
receives for three days of play.
Maybe some day the P. G. A. cham
pionship will become the most i'm
portant tourney of the year, but at
present it rates second to the ma
tional open. The p. G. A. tourney
is match play event running through
full week, with "a qualifiers. Tommy
Armour was runnner-up to Revolta
last year.
There isn't much doubt now that
the National Capital open tourney
held for four years at Kenwood in
the Fall, will not be staged this year.
Kenwood officials have made no move
to secure date for the affair, which
usually has been held early in Novem-
Der. They have been baked in their
efforts to stage the tourney by de-
mands of the P. G. A. for $4,000 for
a week end tourney. The Kenwood
affair carries prize money of $4,000,
and club officers do not feel that they
can double the ante for a professional
event.

fate and calling us up to tell
~ us what he thinks of a per-

Carolina with rosy tales Of big game
fish when there's not a fish in the
whole ocean. and the next fellow just
as likely will return all swollen up
with pride over the big catch and car
rying tales of the biggest and fighting
est blues he ever caught anywhere.
That's the way it goes. especially at
such an unpredictable spot as Oregon
Inlet. It's all in the day you select.
Usually the fish are leaping all over
the place, grabbing anything tossed
into the water. but once in while
you will find them miles out and as
coy as a high school girl at her first
sub-deb party.
There's no doubt about the blues
being there, though. Most of the time
they are being caught in large num-
taken. Plenty were around; whole
school out on the bar jumped around
having a fine time sneering at the
anglers 200 feet away, who couldn't
get to them through the surf. The
boats had to crawl along the edge Of
the bar and then finally return as
empty as they came.

of six from the Internal Revenue,
consisting of Irwin Carpenter, r. C.
Whitley, r. L. Joy, D. j. Hanlon, j. H.
Miller and Irwin Carpenter, jr., took
aboard 81 blues totaling 307 pounds.

in the morning, and, using striker
spoons and japanese feathers, they
required just two hours to make that
