.CULNAN TO PILOT
TOMMY. FAIR AS
BROADR|BB QUITS

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The long
smouldering dissension between
Tommy Farr, British heavyweight
and Ted Broadribb, his manager,
has finally exploded. Today, Babe
Culnan Of Newark, will assume
charge of Fairs affairs.
The split between Farr and his
pilot came yesterday. Broadribb
turned over power of attorney to
Culnan, who will receive half of
Broadribb'S share from Fairs
purses. BY contract signed be.
fore the New York State Athletic
Commission, Broadribb gets Is
per cent of Tommy's earnings
until next July.
Farr and his mentor have been
at loggerheads for the past few
months.
Following the Louis bout, relar
lions became even more strained.
Farr is believed to have objected
to Broadribb'S statement over the
radio that Louis had won the
bout.
Culnan helped supervise Fairs
training at Long Branch, N. j.
Farr lost only one bout-his recent
defeat by LouiS-Since he placed
himself under Broadribb's man
agerial wing two years ago.

DODGER CHIEFS
TO DECIDE FATE.
OF PILOT TODAY

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 G.N.S0.
Retention or release of Burleigh
Grimes, lusty-voiced manager Of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, was to be
decided today at meeting of the
board of directors of the Brook
Ign club.
Grimes, a veteran National
League spitball finger, took over
the reinS of the Dodgers this year,
succeeding to post which has
been notable for its rapid replace
ments since the death of Wilbert
Uncle Robbie" Robinson several
years ago.
Reports persisted that it was
Grimes who was forcing the show
down with a demand that the
question be decided now, with am
pie notice to permit him to seek
new pastures if the verdict went
against him. His predecessor,
Casey Stengel, was released fol
lowing an unsuccessful 1886 sea-
son in which the Dodgers wound
up in seventh place.

OVER BOSTON

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 8.-The
Washington GriffS arrived here
this morning, still in baseball's
green pastures. They reluctantly
left the hospitable fans Of Boston
after beating the Red SoX in a
double header, and extending their
edge on Yawkey's boys to Is vic
tories in 18 games. If those fig
ures read the other way, the SoX
would be a great deal higher in
the race, but baseball works out
that way.
The GriffS have a wide margin
on the Athletics, so perhaps the
Sox will not be missed too much.
Harris wants to make all possible
Roadway here, for series with
the New York Yankees is just
around the corner.
Melo Armada and Rick Terrell
had something like field days at
the expense of their former team
mates. Armada made six hits in
eleven times at bat and drove in
three runs for the day.
RICK GETS FOUR
Rick Terrell had four hits in
six times at bat and produced a
much needed run in the final
game which was nip and tuck
from start to finish. Cecil Travis
die some effective hitting, getting
four hits in ten trips to the plate
for stylish 400.
Friendship ceases in baseball
when the gong rings, and Melo
Armada did some effective club
bling against Gonzales, a youth
from Sonora, Mexico, which is
Almada's home. In fact, Armada
recommended the pitcher to the
Sox, and there were some who
were suspicious enough to ques-
ton Almada's motives. But he
still insists that Gonzales is a
good pitcher who will make the
grade.
BACK AS WINNER
Jimmy DeShong is back in the
winning column after a dreary
time in which victories were few
and far between. DeShong pitched
the first game which the Griffs
won by a score Of II to 5, and
Monte Weaver, as usual, won the
tough one by a score Of S to 4.
George Case, the youngster who
demanded a bonus of $1,000 for
signing with the Griffs, will re-
port to the team here today. He
telephone President Clark C. Grit
fifth last night and said that he
had considered the proposition
from all angles and would report
at once if the club desired him
to do so. So he will be at Shibe
Park today and Harris will have
a chance to inspect him in batting
practice.

]. Edgar Hoover said today Federal
agents had arrested Sidney L. Rey-
nolds, 19-year-old Alabama University
sophomore, on charges of attempting
to extort $1,000 from Mrs. H. D. War
ner, wife of a Tuscaloosa, Ala, paper
manufacturer.
Hoover, director of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation, said Reynolds
was arrested by Justice Department
agents and local police officers early
today and that he had admitted writ
ing three letters threatening harm to
Mrs. Warner.
The first letter was mailed last
Thursday at Tuscaloosa, Hoover said,
and demanded $4,000. A second letter
was mailed last Saturday demanding
$1,000, the director said, and yesterday
Mrs. Warner received a third letter
specifying that the money was to be
paid messenger.
At 8 pm. last night Federal agents
stopped a messenger who said he had
been hired by an unknown white man
to pick up suit case and meet him
at a church. The extortionist, how
ever, failed to keep the rendezvous.
Hoover did not disclose what clues
had led Federal agents to Reynolds,
but said the youth admitted writing
the letters to get money Ito aid his
family
