pROVIDING Lou trims Archibald,
and there is some doubt along
that line. he still would not rate a
crack at the championship He actual
ly has had three fights, losing one and
winning two against fellows who don't
comprise the elite of the feather
weight division.
Toss out his arguments with AL
Schaef7er and Benny Wittler. because
the frst was opposition Of the most
feeble type and the second had all the
earmarks OF rehearsal splash. His
record, therefore, shows a decision
over Joe Temes. loss to Johnny Pena
and a knockout conquest OF the same
Pena. Add Archibald to that list. if
Lou does, and you would have a con-
tender with only four professional
fights behind him, one Of which went
the wrong way
Gevinson, and a. more modest. like
able fellow in the boxing business is
hard to locate, has been overestimated.
Local ringWorms revised their opinion
OF his punching proves when he
failed to drop Temes and further
altered their viewpoint when Pena,
good fighter, but far removed from
anything approaching greatness,
weathered Lou's most potent punches
to capture a decision.
Louis popularity is based chief
ly on the dynamite he packs in
each fist.
If he lands solidly, there is reason
to believe almost any featherweight in
the game will collapse. but Lou hasn't
been connecting frequently enough to
warrant a crack at the crown.
There IS some reason to believe
Gevinson's popularity isn't what it
was few months ago. He was booed
heartily when he stepped into the ring
to be introduced at the last show here,
but he could remedy that with a VIC
tory over Archibald. pompadored

vormed his way into the collective
heart Of local fandom with five sue

WIMBLEDON, England, July 2s-
Another golden era for American ten

today If J. Donald Bulge doesn't
hearken to the Establishments of pro-

The tall, 22-year-old Californian,

Davis Cup, said he isn't going TO re-
linqulsh his amateur status and has
but one desire-to keep the famous
trophy in the land that donated it.
The cup, symbol OF world team ten
MS supremacy, remained in the United
States seven years after the two Bills
Illden and Johnston-wrested it from
Australla's possession, and II Bulge,
now sitting atop the tennis heap, con-
tlnues to defend it there's no apparent
reason why it shouldn't remain for

Today. in the wake of his 6-to-5
victory over the White Sox, Pete was
back in good standing with Boss
Bucky and his more blatant critics of
several weeks ago are beginning to
wonder If the veteran is not one of
those pitchers who does his best work
IN the stretch run.
1t will be recalled that Peter was
no great shucks in the early part OF
the 1885 campaign. after having been
bought in the draft from Montreal.
He was $3.50 as relief pitcher and
no improvement as starter until mid
season. Then he came through. De-
spite his slow start. he finished with
IA victories as against defeats.

THE background of the right-handed

his last three performances, lends ere

Harris figures it is worth looking into.
anyway, and the chances are that
Appleton now will take a regular turn
on the slab along with Wes Ferrell,
Jimmy De Shong and Monte Weaver.
Pete began to blossom for 1887 when
the Mats we're in St. Louis last Sat-
urday. He was sitting in the bull pen
when Wes Ferrell. batting for Ed
Iinke, drove across a run in the first
game of double header tn give Wash
ington SIS lead Appleton walked
out and pitched two hitless and score
less innings to protect the margin,
And the Browns, at the time. were as
hot as the weather. They had just
scored their five runs off Linke in the
two previous innings.
Pete went back to the bull pen for
the second game Of that twin bill,
but Yves Ferrell, again pinch-hitting,
drove across a run to create another
e-5 lead Yves had batted for Ken
Chase and to Pete again was called
to protect the lead. He did so with
q fine three inning stretch.
Wins, 6-5. Over Sox
IT WAS Monte Weaver who needed
help yesterday Overcoming a 20
lead taken by the Sox. the Mats scored
four runs in the first inning to give
Monte lead.
But the frail veteran, who prob
ably is feeling the strain of working
every four days, gave no promise Of
holding it. In the Chicago second
inning he filled the bases with none
out and Appleton grabbed his fire
helmet. In brilliant fashion he ended
the inning with only single run
scored. That, of course, was charged
TO Weaver.
Pete pitched eight innings yester-
day and gave up only three hits to
one Of the leagues hitting
teams AS matter Of fact, the Sox
invaded the stadium as the hottest
team in the league.
The two runs Chicago made off APP
pleton might have been avoided In

TOKYO, Dec. l6.-(UP)--A
wave Of revulsion against the lack
Of discipline in Japan's armed
forces which made possible the
bombing and machine cunning Of
the U. S. gunboat Panay and three
Standard Oil steamers in China
swept the empire today.
As the full import Of the grav-
ity of the incident was brought
home to the masses Of the people
thousands of individual Japanese
attempted to make amends for the
recklessness Of their warriors.
Newspapers, sensing the danger
inherent in American anger at
the attacks, stressed the import
ance of maintaining the empires
international relations on plane
of friendship.
The fact that President Roose-
welt had requested that Emperor
Hirohito be informed personally
of the gravity of the situation
was soft-pedaled. A foreign office
spokesman would only say that
mo one, at present, is qualified
to state anything about the en-
peror's. actions. The spokesman
