 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Ccnn., June 18.-It was announced today that sectional tennis center championships in singles and doubles for juniors will be held at the New Haven Lawn club commencing at 9 a. m. Mon- day morning, June 28th. The final ists in the events will be eligible to compete for titles in the national junior championships to be held at Culver Military Academy, Culver, Ind, later in tn esummer
 The qualifying center tourna- ment is open to players who did not reach their 18th birthday before January 1st of this year. and the entry fees are $l.00 for singles and 50 cents each for doubles. Entries should be sent in to the New Haven Lawn club at l83 Whitney avenue, New Haven.

centerf1eld clubhouse the moment he saw the winning hit sail over second base. It was common prac- tice to do this, but on the previous Saturday, in a game in Pittsburgh, with the same umpires, O'Day and Emslie, officiating. the Cubs had tried to have Gill, 8 young first baseman, called out for failing to touch second under similar circum- stances. The umpires then said they did not see the play, but ti aroused considerable comment and this time they were looking foi it.
 Evers called for the ball from Gen. terfielder Hoffman, as he hao done in Pittsburgh, and the ball came bounding in from the outf1eld. Joe McGinnity, who had been coaching on third base fo~ New York, sensed what the Cubs were about to at tempt and scuffled with Evers around second base, trying to keep Johnny from touching the bag with his foot. McGinnity gained pos session of the bali and threw toward left field. To his dying day, Iron Man Joe claimed he heaved the ball high into the bleachers, but accord ing to eyewitness accounts a fan knocked down the ball and there was a scramble for the sphere.
 Pitcher Floyd Kroh ran from the bench, hit the spectator holding the ball, grabbed the pellet and threw to Evers who then tagged second base. Umpire O'Day called Merkle out and at first wanted the game re- stunned. Such move was impossible. because of the crowd on the field. Frank Chance, Cub manager. then claimed the game by forfeit.
 The race was so close that the leagues board of directors ordered the game replayed after the end of the legal season If replay should prove necessary to decide the race. The two clubs ended the regular season tied with 98 victories and 55 defeats. In the famous pIay-off game at the Polo Grounds on Co., tober 8, the Cubs won, 4 to 2, Chi- cago thus winning a third straight pennant while New York fell back to a tie with Pittsburgh for second place.

Merkle "Boner'" Of 1908 Recalled

Although 1t occurred 29 years ago, the play on which Fred Merkle made his historic 'boner' and which cost the New York Giants the National League championship of 1908 re- mains baseballs most discussed play. It happened on September g of that year, when Merkle, the unhappy culprit, was a 19-year-old rookie, whose presence on the bases was due to his hit in ninth-inning rally.
 New York had gone into Septem- Der with a fairly formidable lead, but an injury to Doyle and slump in pitching caused the margin to melt away. By the end of Septem- Der, the Giants manager, John Me- Graw, was fighting desperately for every game. The Chicago Cubs, win- nerS in 1906 and 1907, and the Pitts burgh Pirates, were see-sawing in- and-out of second place only few jumps behind. The Cubs went to the Polo Grounds in New York and took the first two games of the se- ries. The Giants apparently had the third game won when the fa- nous Merkle incident occurred.
 With the score tied in the ninth, two out, Moose Mccormick on third and Merkle on first (Merkle was ;n the game as a substitute for the veteran first baseman, Fred Tenney), |, Al Bridwell, New York shortstop, hammered a single to center which apparently broke up the game. Mo- Cormick crossed the plate and the crowd rushed on the field, thinking the Giants had won.
 However, instead of running to second base, Merkle dashed to the

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE
 CUnited Press Stan Correspondent,

Chicago, June 19-(UP)-The big fellow with the bald head took a long pull on his beer, bit the end of a two-bit cigar, and said:
 'If a pair of fists were all there was to boxing-hell, this Louis would belt Braddock out in three heats. A couple of feints and then a left hook, and church would be out"
 The speaker was Walter Mono- han, one of the greatest trainers the delightful art of fisticufs has ever produced. For forty years he has been showing champions out in- to theb attle pit, and what he doesn't know about the manly art can be engraved on the head of a pin in case you don't know the Lords prayer.
 He's fair hand in the ring, him. self. He worked as sparring part ner with both Dempsey and Tun- ney before their first fight in Phil- adelphia, and was outspoken with his belief that James Joseph would win.
 That Tunney hurt me lot more than Jack" he explains. 'He didn't hit as hard, but every punch he landed was in spot that counted.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-19

I still ache from the right hands that Gene whacked under my heart"
 Walter rates Louis as the finest workman with two fists that he ever laid eyes on. Says he hits harder, hits, faster, and blocks more deftly than any man since Jim Figg.
 "But damn it." Walter will tell you, there's more to fighting than throwing fists. And that's all Louis can do. Upstairs-in the noggin- he's blank.
 "He can't think. As long as everything runs along smoothly, follows the pattern laid down by his corner, he is as great fighter as ever pulled on a mitten. But let something happen to upset the pat tern-a punch on the jaw, say, or an opponent who won't fight the accustomed way-and he's lost"
 Walter also finds Joe's footwork a bit on the weak side.
 "The colored boy is very slow. Powerful slow. Why, I don't know. He has a great pair of legs, is young, and strong as 8 tiger. But he moves around that ring as clum- silly as anybody you ever saw. Wil- lard-and know, because I trained him-was twice as fast. Even Brad dock, at the age of 32, and without fight under his belt for two years, is much faster"
 Monohan will bet on Louis, how eyer. He thinks he is in much bet ter shape thah when he fought Schmeling, and is too rugged to be hurt by Braddock.
 "Jim never was a puncher," he argues. Even when he was a light heavyweight, and full of youth, he lacked a lot of being killer. All he has is experience, and more courage than a horse could jump over. Maybe it will be enough to get him by, but I doubt it. In the ring you just gotta string along with the fellow who is young and packs a punch that will knock you dead If 1t lands. So I'm betting on Joe" |"
 If I had. my share of sense, which I haven't, I'd ride with Walter and come right out now and pick Louis. But no-I want two mroe days to study the contestants in this nightly encounter-two more days in which to heighten the confusion in my brain cells. So, that when all is chaos upstairs in my skull, will be able to sit down and pick the gent who will get knocked stiffer than a double brandy inside of five rounds.

LOUIS 2 1-2 TO i
 OVER BRADDOCK
 AS BOUT WEARS
Sale of Tickets Uncertain; Experts Confused; No
 Money on Champ
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Chicago, June 19. = (UP) = With the worlds heavyweight champion ship fight only a few days away, the experts are frankly baffled. They are borrowing the words of the late, great Tex Rickard, muttering, T never seed nothing like it." And the chances are they never did. { Here we are on what might be called the very eve of the meeting between Joe Louis and Jim Braddock and there hasn't been single scan- dal. Nobody has called anybody any names. There have been no sin- ister rumors. There have been no tales of Kidnapping, shootings, rescues in the lake, secret training tactics, poisonings, gangster influence or what is sometimes called, in face- tious vein, O. course, "the fix".
 On the Level
 In other words this is, to all out ward appearances, going to be an up- and-up fight between Louis and Braddock for the worlds heavy weight championship.
 No one seems to find the situa- ton in the least disconcerting ex- cept the experts, 500 strong and gathered in Chicago's liquid loop.
 One report has 1t that Comiskey Park, where the fight will be held, has been sold out for days. The official estimate a week ago placed the money in the bank at $600,0 ,0OO, but today the figure was still $600,- 900. Yet another report has 1t that there are plenty of choice seats available.
 A few facts, however, have been attested. Both warriors rested to- day, building strength and char acter for the coming encounter. The champion Braddock = played what he calls golf, but which one of his sparring partners calls digging
 Louis was even more relaxed with the fight only three days off. He spent most of his waking hours, which constitute about ten per cent of the day, playing the mouth organ. They will both work tomorrow. Both have dedicated Monday to UI1llkulSs OIA uCoOdy tAAC NAAesAA pion and the challenger will weigh in at high noon and fight, if all goes according to schedule, that evening.
 Braddock UnderdOg
 The only sure thing about thls fight is that it will set some cort of all-time low for betting. There doesn't seem to be Braddock dime in sight. even at 1-2 to l. Sammy Wolf and Babe Barrow, the local Jack Doyles, have $25, 5,000 to place on Louis at those odds and haven't even ha da phone call.
 Anyway you look at 1t the fight IS very baffling to the assembled ex- perts, who are so confused that they can't even pick the winner. And when you get an expert who doesn't know the winner of a fight, you've really got something.

 Game ' too
Game ' to 0
June 1s, 1882, at New York

June l9, 1882, at New York (This is the best individual pitch ing performance ever to take place on June 19.)
 "Tex" Carleton handcuffed the Giants, holding them to two hits, both of them singles, and with the aid of Jim Bottomley's and Gus Mancuso's bludgeons, the Cardinals had little trouble in trouncing the Giants, with their newly appointed Manager Bill Terry at the helm, 2 to o.
 Carleton was responsible for only three reaching base: Moore and Hogan on singles, and Leslie through being winged in the 9th, when he pinch hit for pitcher Gib- son. Only one Giant reached End base, and none of them got as far as third.
 Three home runs, two by Bottom ley and one by Mancuso, produced all of the runs made by Charley Streets aggregation of ballplayers from the Mound City.
 Bottomley hit his first home run in the second inning. Blades fol- lowed with a triple to left center, and Orsatti walked. Then Mancuso cleaned the bases with his prodi- gious poke for four bases, which gave the Cards four runs in this inning. All of this was at the ex- pense of Bill Walker.
 Jim Mooney relieved Walker in the third, but he also fell g victim to similar disaster from the Cards bats in the fourth: Jimmy Reese. former Yankee, singled; Frisch also singled; Bottomley then banged his second homer into the grandstand and three more runs scampered in.

HEARTS, TRIBES IN NC.A.L.FEATURE.
League Lead May Change Again; Hills Face BAG.
 TOmnlies vs RecS

With one eye on the ball and the other on the Sacred Hearts in their effort to take over the Tribunes in tomorrows trio of City Amateur League baseball games at Hamilton Park, the Washington Hills and North End Thomas Club will be on hand to a man after disposing of the Brooklyns and Recreations, in 1:30 o'clock games Sunday after noon.
 Hearts On Spot
 The Hearts and Tribunes are booked as the feature game sched- uled to start at 3:30 o'clock, the idea being for the Hearts to avoid another setback such as that of two weeks ago which knocked them out of the lead to the delight of the Thomas Club, who in turn was knocked out by the same club a week later, with the situation now standing all even, the Hearts and Tommies who have a playof game ahead, sharing the top spot of the loop, which was the way the league stood before the "giant-killing" act on two Sundays in succession by the Washington Hills.
 Three Team Scrap
 Unless the BrooklynS and Recre- ations have great day at bat and their rivals go very bad, the Hills and Tommies are expected to ad- vance, while Frankie Edmonds and George Blinn may be able to stop the Hearts though the task is a tough one, but can be done as the Hills proved. All in all, 1t looks like a three team battle right down the stretch for the city championship and that trip to somewhere to play in the 1887 national amateur tour nament.

BY JACK POBUK Noted Swimming Instructor

With more leisure time resulting from shorter working hours, citi- zens are looking around for some thing to occupy this new spare time.
 For some, most of the popular sports are taboo because they de- mand too much physical exertion, or skill.
 Swimming is the ideal exercise for them. It requires very little ex- ertion, and anyone who possesses the desire and is willing to prac- tice will become skilled quite eas- lily and quickly.
 Some form of exercise is neces- sary to the human being. We should use our muscles to keep them healthy and supple and stave cff old age.
 All the muscles are brought into play in todayis lesson, in which the
