an eight-round knockout. Ventura
swings a wicked right. and has
beaten among others Andre Jess
rum. and Lou Raymond, both
hard hitters. He won some so
fights in Europe. His brother
is Enrico Ventura, third ranking
lightweight.
Plenty Of interest has been
evinced in the 10-round semi
windup in which Irish Johnny
Dean, the Dixie lightweight
champion, meets AL Dunbar, Of
Brooklyn, in a rematch.
Demand Rematch
Irish Johnny, a fighting
machine, forced Dunbar to cease
firing at the end Of the first
round of their scheduled eight
rounder on the Gevinson-Archi-
bald card. It was a hectic first
round, with Dunbar hitting the
canvas three times. and Dunbar
dropping once. Fans demanded
a rematch, and so did Dunbar.
The battle of bruiSers will
bring out one Jack Torrance,
former American Olympic weight
star and one-time Louisiana
State fotball and track ace, and
Murray Hammer, the District
heavyweight. They arr to clash
in a six-round added attraction.

The card will open at $3.50

dusky welterweights, Prince
Albert and Battling Zuzu.

FUR wound up his training Sat
urday in perhaps the greatest
shape of his fistic career. But de-
spite the fact Philbert is in superb
condition and has benefited ma
terially by the mellowing expert
ence of three bouts on the Pacific
Coast, he will be on the short end
of the betting tonight.
The boys who lay it on the line
have installed Ventura a 6-5 favor
ite, and many of 'em figure he will
stop the blond District Scrapper.
But Phil never before has been
knocked out-So he SayS-and for
that matter Phil claims he never
has been down for a count Of nine.
That Fur will take everything
Ventura will throw at him, and
stand UP Gibraltar-like is the
opinion of his cagey trainer, fat
Eddie Ross, who points to the fact
that Phil defeated two tough oppo-
nents during his Coast tour
Jimmy Best and Tiger Al Lewis
and gave the outstanding welter-
weight challenger, Ceferino Garcia,
a mighty close fight.

Cubs Us. Tigers?

Mickey thinks the CUBS stand
a great chance of playing in the
world series, and he hasn't given
up hopes of managing the team
that plays them.
Everything favors the Cubs"
he thought aloud, land they get
a great break by finishing up
the season at home.
'Us, well, We are like Wash
ington-playing good ball in
spots. But if the Yankees or Red
Sox falter even momentarily, we
are going to be one of the clubs
breathing on their necks and
bearing down with everything
we've got.
Don't worry about me. I'm
feeling better every day and with
a little cool weather I'm going
to be in a uniform every day
and on the bench until the game
is over.
"As it is I've been in uniform
only at the pre-game practices,
cause the 'saw.bones' said to
take it easy, and guess he
knows best!"

The Griffs finished in red ink
for the home stand, winning six
games and losing seven against
the western clubs.
There's an open date on the
schedule today, but tomorrow the
Athletics come into town and
open their stand with a double
header. It isn't so long ago that
the Athletics were the toast and
boast of the American League.
They opened the season with
brilliant flash, led the league for
a while and fought the Yankees
nip and tuck. They played to 1907
900 spectators in three days
against Network, and also filled
Griffith Stadium.
Something Happened
But then something happened
to the MackS, and down the scale
they went until now they're back
home in the cellar, with none too
poor to pay them passing reVer-
ence.
The Griffs contributed to their
own misfortune yesterday IN the
rain swept battle. The errors that
men commit are soon forgiven
The indifferent plays they make

doubled, and Gehringer reached
third. While Myer caressed the
ball Gehringer meandered home.
Rudy York's third home run Of
the series sped into left center
field. This Indian boy is just
about the last word in easy power.
He is not the greatest hitter in
the world, but when it comes to
polling a ball long way, York
will do until someone better comes
along.
At the moment York drops too
many balls behind the plate, and
this, of course, is q sign Of bad
technique in receiving. But it is
not so many years ago that critics
said the same thing about Mickey
Cochrane.
COchrane Likes YORK
Perhaps the best recommends
ton for York is that Cochrane
thinks he has everything that 9
real catcher should have. It mus
be borne in mind that York has
done little catching in the last
several years. He devoted his time
to attempting to win Greenberg'I
job at first base. and then tried tx
win Owens job at third. two

GEHRINGER PLAY
AWAITS RULING
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

It isn't going to make a great
deal Of difference to Charley Geh-
ringer what the ruling Of PreSi-
dent Will Harridge will be on his
successful dash for the plate N
the third inning yesterday, because
Charley doesn't specialize in stolen
bases. He knows he made a smart
play that figured in the winning
of a ball game. That will be suf-
ficient for him. But those fans
with a flair for statistics argued
long and loud today over whether
the Bengal second Sacker stole
home, or advanced on Buddy
Myers indifference.
Since a run was scored, it can
hardly be charged that Myer was
indifferent.
The Play:
Now here's the play. Gehringer

Snubs to Bill Tilden

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Don
Bulge, winner Of the Wimbledon
championship, winner Of the
Davis Cup practically as a one
man team and as yet unbeaten
this season against the finest anna
teurs in the world, probably will
never turn professional" Walter
Pate, non-playing Davis Cup cap
tain, declared today in no uncer.
tain terms. In even less uncertain
terms, he hailed Bulge as the
greatest player he had ever seen
during his 40 years Of tennis.
In a few terSe words, therefore,
the gentleman at once disposed Of
an implied threat against the
newly-won Davis Cup and dis
missed the current professionals
as being, by contrast, slightly Sec
ond rate. Said he:
Greatest Player
"Budge could beat either ELS
worth Vines or Fred Perry to-
morrow. He not only is the
greatest player in the world to-
day; he is, in my opinion, the
greatest Of all tine-and that
goes fer Bill Tilden, Maurice
Mclaughlin, Norman BrookeS
and the rest"
Admitting that the worlds top
hand of amateurism would have
to stand a lot Of pressure from the
box-office boys in the next few
weeks, Pate nevertheless seemed
certain that Bulge neither would
fall now, nor ever. Why? 1t ap-
peared there were several things
against it.
In the first place, it very sud.
denly develops that the young man
has had an executive and ad-
visory" connection with a sports
goods house for the last 10 months
and financially is doing little
better than the best he can; in
the second, he has promised to
consult with Pate before taking
any step that will affect his anna
teur standing; in the third, he
saw Tilden going through the pro-
fessionals' or service entrance"
at Wimbledon.

"After noting this and other.
things, including the way pros
are looked down upon abroad.
he told me it wasn't worth
100000" Pate went on. BE
sides, he sees a chance to make
more than that in the long run
as business man."
Briefly and tc the point, Pro-
moter Frank Hunters promise to
work on" Bulge as soon as he
got back is a little on the belated
side. The fact is pretty clear
that the young man has been
worked on" before he got back.

Now as to Cochrane'S recovery
from that conclusion.
shan't be surprised to see him
playing again, certainly by next
,pring.
He's got to take it slowly-as
who wouldn't?-but he's already
made sufficient strides to Danish
the thought of a possible relapse.
A layman can see that and pos
sibly this fact superinduceS so
optimistic a report.
Mickey Cochrane'S weight is
good for a man who has been
out of circulation two lon G
months. He's just a mite over
his playing avoirdupois, which is
what I call keeping it down in
the face of prolonged idleness.
His color is good. The old
GLOW is back in his face and the
eyes are sharp and the voice firm
and steady.
If those aren't signs. then I

A Personal Probe

I am most happy to relay the
glad tidings to you, because some
ten days ago the reports 'on Black
Mike weren't so encouraging. So
I popped in on him unannounced
during the stay of the Tigers here,
and did little probing about un'
der my own horsepower.
Outside of the Washington
heat, Cochrane wasn't suffering
from anything except possibly the
shock at knowing he had a first
rate catcher on his club by the
name of Rudy York.
The kid, supposed to be only
a "stand-in" for Hank Greenberg,
gives Black Mike something new
to think about-out there back OF
the plate.
Both Mike and Coach Cy Per-
kins see for York a new and sue
cessful role in life.
"He has excellent catching
mechanics" fairly bristled Coch-
rane, yea" chimed in Perkins,
and he's got a great noodle on
him, tool"

Juneau Girl Scouts Present Fast Talking Duo in Coli
 scum Attraction Tonight

Here Comes Carter" First Ma tional's screen drama that probes behind the scenes of both radio broadcasting stations and moving picture studios, comes to the Coli scum theatre tonight, as a presen- tation by Juneau's Girl Scouts to raise funds for their summer camp. Ross Alexander, Glenda Farrell and Anne Nagel are cast in the feature roles.
 The picture is said to be packed with thrills and rollicking humor from start to finis h. The action centers around the activities of a press agent of film company who uses his knowledge of the movies to broadcast scandal and gossip about the stars. For his attacks on a matinee idol who had caused his dismissal because he refused to help the actor out of one of his many disgraceful escapades, he is given terrific beating by a band of gangsters. An amazing episode entailing a deadly gunfight-which unknowingly is broadcasted on the air-winds up the story in a smash ing climax
 Alexander has the role of the radio columnist while Miss Farrell and Miss Naghel complete the romantic triangle, both being in love with him.
 The picture is enlivened by catchy Iairs written by M. K. Jermore and Jack Scholl and sung by Miss Ma ghel, formerly of musical comedy fame, and the radio trio, The Three Cheers"

Cold Too High For Patching
 D0nle's Clean

DENVER, Col, June 1.-Colo- rado's State capitol dome is losing it's $l4,000 gleam.
 Thirty years ago Colorado's min- ing men, flush with golden nuggets from the States mountains, sug- gested it would be fitting to cover the big dome with rolled gold.
 It was an easy matter to raise $8,000 and buy the gold. Then they raised enough. to cover the county courthouse dome with sil- yer. Long since, the elements have "eroded' the golden dome and the courthouse has been torn down.
 Two years ago sufficient money was appropriated to repair the leaks in the. statehouse dome, but not enough to patch up the flaked gold.
 Recently Legislators discussed the situation but decided, what with relief and old age pensions, the time was inappropriate to buy new gold for old.
 The change in the price of gold has made the sparkle $14,0O0 one now.
