No, I don't want to race tomor- how, the day after, or on shrove Tuesday, even, in fact, gentlemen, I never will be prepared to meet that Ranger item again. Good night; I'm clearing for England. and the peace and comfort and security of the dear ol' Thames"
 Sympathy for old Charley Nichol- son, designer of Endeavour II, in- creases with each British defeat. De- signer of three challenge boats, Nicholson has seen them all take q kicking. His Shamrock V lost to Enterprise in l030 because she was outSailed. His Endeavour 1 lost four years ago because she was atrociously handled. His Endeavour II. into which he poured all his abil- fly, has run up against e super-ar- ticle-a boat that does everything c little bit better than any other boat ever built.
 Nicholson and sopwith have only this for consolatoin, there isn't much shame in losing to c champion.

 New York, Aug. 6-(UP)--Michael Straus Jacobs, likable Broadway ticket speculator and associate ot the late Tex Packard, hitched his wagon to c star and scared into virtual command of the nations bit giEne boxing today.
 The star -. copper-colored Joe Louis s--skyrocketed to the worlds heavyweight championship, and with him, genial Uncle Mike" broke the monopoly on the title held 90 long by Madison Square Garden the House That Tex Built" E
 That Is the story which lead to c contract between Jacobs and the Garden whereby the former win take over boxing activities in the sports arena and the Long Island bowl for the next two years.
 Jacobs and Garden President Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick both ex- pressed satisfaction that the bitter rivalry between the organization and Mikes goth Century Sporting club had come to. c concluion. Terms of the contract were not di- vulged other than that Jacobs had leased Madison Square Garden flor c certain number of nights during the winter seasons of lo3T-3e and io38-3o" and the Gardens bowl In Long Island City for the summers Of ie3s and ie3s."
 "fron Hat Jimmy Johnston, pro- lmoter of boxing for the Garden, went into seclusion immediately af- ter the contract was signed. No mention was made of him in the announcement of the deal. Jacobs said he was taking charge of all boxing arrangements" which meapt but one thing to fight followers: Mike and Jimmy's out"
 The 66 year old Jacobs refused to take over the Garden last year when he was offered Q 60-60 split on ell fight promotions.
 Jacobs name did not come into the fight picture until 1884 when he staged the highly successful milk fund matches between Barney Ross and Jimmy Petroile and Ross and Jimmy McLarnin.
 Then he leased Yankee stadium and the Polo Grounds, signed Joe Louis to . long time contract and began promoting in earnest. He sent LouieS into the ring six times be- tween June, 1895, and June, io30, and the gates amounted to more than s2,000,000.
 He saw Q loophole in Braddock's contract to fight echmeling, and persuaded the Jersey Irishman to abandon that fight and give Louis . crack at his title in Chicago last June,
 That was his major coup for 1t broke the Gardens strangiehold on the title.

New York, Aug 5-The wheel of radio fortune is still spinning "pay" numbers for Major Edward Bowes. His amateur ra- dio hour, counted out many times during the past year by the critics, continues to attract the weeks largest regular radio audience.
 Today, nearly two and one-half years after he first paraded his troupe of woud-be performers be- fore a network microphone, both from a statisti- cal and entertainment standpoint, his program mains the greatest sensation of the airwayves since Amos m Andy.
 Let's look at this record, of which little Is known except to those close to the godfather of amatew entertainment:
 since March 24, 1885, when the major launched his network program, he has presented nearE 5000 performers over the air They were the pic! of more than 500,00O hopeful men and women, O. ell ages, races and walks of life, who applied for chance.

CHALLENGE OF WHITE S0x WAS WORTH NOTHING
Yanks 8 Up as Red Sox Move Up; Cronin, Frisch
 Win With Singles
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY Limited Press Staff COFPesD0ndent !

New York. August s. - tUp) - The alleged challenge of the Chicago White Sox to the New York Yan- kee supremacy turned out to be c fizzie.
 The White sox came to town Monday with . chance to cut the Yankees American League lead to one game, but were sunk by the Bronx BomberS three straight times. Today the Yanks led the race by eight games. The faltcring pale hose barely held second place from the Boston Red Box. riding the crest Of an eight game winning streak. .
 Yesterday Chicago was edged out by the Yankees. i0e. Jake Powell singled with the bases loaded in the ninth to drive the winning run in.
 Although it was only c feeble one. bagger that furniShed their margin, the Yanks put on another 0 ftheir power displays. Bill Dlckey cracked out his second home run in two days with the bases loaded and Lou oeh- rig blasted another with two mates aboard.
 If the Yankees slip, the Boston Red eox may be able to take up the challenge that the White eox let slip from their grasp. Joe Cronias men took Q double-header from Cleveland, ,0.6, and 6-6, to mount within game of Chicago. Jimmy Poxx cracked out . home run in each game, and Manager CroninS double drove in tie tying and win. ming runs in the ninth inning of the hard.fought nightcap.
 Detroit hammered out ii-7 tri- imph over the Philadelphia Ath- Ietics raking three pitchers for i7 hits. Oral Hildebrand scattered eight hits to the Washington Sena- tors as the St. Louis Browns emerged on the long end of 6-3 score. .t
 Wayne Lamaster, with a cunning left hand delivery, held the Chicago Cubs to seven hits and the Philadel. phia Philiies handed the National League leaders Q 2-1 defeat. Johnny Moore. ex-Cub, beat his former teammates with Q homerun.
 The defeat cut the Cubs margin to six games over the New York Giants who nosed out the Cincin- natl Reds, 4-3. behind Harry Gum bert's seven hit pitching.
 Tn other National League games, Brooklyn triumphed over Pittsburg, l0-7, although outhit l7-i5, and the St. Louis Cards put on five run scoring rally in the ninth inning to beat the Boston Bees 7-6. Joe Med- wick boosted his batting average to above 300 again, after Q one-day lapse, when he cracked out four two- base hits to lead st. Louis i6 hit ate tack.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 6.-(UP)-- Hello nom; I'll be home tomorrow.
 Because Ranger and Endeavour will 90 down to the sea once more today. and even that fine old British subject, the Lion ct Trafalgar Square. wouldn't risk . ha-penny on the chances of the challenger.
 The Endeavour hasn't c hope. She's as certain to lose { in c row as young and adoring couples are to learn that love isn't blind, and that two can't live as cheaply aS one unless, either Fred or Mary iS will- ing to go on one heluva rigorous diet.
 She's had every chance, and blew them all. She was licked in weather as light as kittens tread And she was licked when the water and wind were as rough as c De- lancey street dance. She was whipped when her handling wal bad, and she was whipped when her handling was good.
 Everybody knows the answer now
 Ranger b too good. The Amerl- can boat Is the fastest thing eve: put under canvas, and represents the near maximum in Glass J con- struction she's so good, iii fact, last night, with Americas cup not yet completely won, critics were saying that she would be the last sioop of her class to be built. They believe that in the future tht Americas cup will be chailanged by smaller typo boatS--boats in which the ultimate has yet to be reached
 Ranger with the unbending Van. derbilt at the wheel, was Q cham. pion out there yesterday in making It three in Q row. She had none the best of the racing luck, but when the spectator fleet roared hei across the finish line, Endeavour T was five minutes astern.
 Skipper T. o. M. Sopwith, Tnucf to the surprise of everybody, didn't make c mistake yesterday. Tn fact he actually had an edge on his riva in the matter of helmanship. BuI the edge didn't do him any good The American defender, once sht was given her head. simply outrar the British Sloop.
 Endeavour wobbled through thu water. Ranger sliced 1t as clean ly as a knife drives through butter and on the beat to windward GOV. cred IS miles faster than any clas, J boat in history.
 Today,s race is just a formality Ranger will win if from anywnert to five to 10 minutes unless disaster overtakes her and sine loses her gear sopwith proved he was a sto,l. hearted gentleman whom, at tn, conclusion of the third race, tn. official committee signaled to asl if he was ready for a race today, hI quickly ran up the. signal that saic "yes". 2

 The amateur applicant between IS and 1e years of age is pretty sure to sing or play popular nau- sic. Those between IS and 26 generally are partial to semi-clasS- icai music. The average amateur is Q man about 20 years of age, who sings. Men represent about 06 per cent of those who apply for q chance on the program. The weaker sex trail either from tim- idity or lack of theatrical ambi- ton. Women, too, are more mike shy then men and invariably ar- rive for their auditor accompan- led by someone to give them moral support.
 As Q result of appearing on the program, more than 800 amateurs have been given employment for one week to IS months in travel ing vaudeville units. They have received nearly si,0oo,oo0 in sal- aries. Twenty-Five of these stage units have been organized and as many as i4 have been on tour at the same time. They have vis- tied 1902 cities, towns, villages and other communities, playing 2i42 different engagements.
