Foxx Ambitious
 To Outslug Yankee Joe Di Maggie
BY ERNEST BARCELLA


 Boston, July 30.-(UP)-Things now have reached the point where 1t seems expedient to issue the fol- lowing storm warning to American league pitchers:
 Jimmy Foxx has regained his bat ting eye!
 It also becomes necessary at this time to issue another warning:
 By his own admission, the mus cular Red Rox first sacker is airn- ing to overtake MT. Joe Di Maggie of the New York Yankees, who cur- rently leads the major league home run parade with 28. But James Emory isn't stopping there. He predicts that by the end of the sea- son he will have bashed out at least 45 round-trippers.
 One is inclined to believe that Foxx is being slightly conservative in his forecast.
 Let's look at the record.
 Less than a month ago-on July g, to be specific-the Maryland macer was batting a poor .257 and had belted out IS homers. Today, he is pasting the pill at .28l clip and his home run total has reached 26.
 That means that in the past 22 days he has added "A points to his batting average and blasted out Il four baggers. Three of those Il homers have come in the past three days.
 What is the reason for the sudden revival? Simple, explains MT. Foxx.
 Until a month ago, I was bothered by sinus trouble I developed on the way north from the spring training camp. I couldn't see the ball and the result was I was strik- ing out or popping up too often.'
 But" double X continued, "dur- ing the last road trip my sinus cleared up. Now I can see the ball and, well, I'm just hitting it."
 Significantly enough, Jimmy's comeback started at Shibe park Tn Philadelphia-sce of his greatest hitting triumphs. You will recall that it was while he was with the Athletics in 1892 that he came with in two of equalling Babe Ruins all- time record of SO home runs in one season.
 As things now stand, Foxx this season has lifted one over the wall in every American league park ex- cept the Yankee stadium. And, oddly enough, Di Maggie has done the same in every park except Fen way right here in Boston.
 Jimmy's home runs have been dis tributed as follows: 10 in Boston, 2 in Detroit. three in Washington, two each in Cleveland and Philadelphia, and one each in St. Louis and Chi cago.
 Detroit pitchers have been Jim- my,s cousins. He has hit eight off Tiger twirlers he will face in the next four games. Five have come at the expense of St. Louis pitch CTS. Four apiece have been made off Cleveland Washington hurlers. Philadelphia moundsmen have served Foxx three home run balls and Chicago pitchers two. He has yet to hit one off the Yankee slab staff.
 On this date five years ago. the beast (as his teammates call him) had 4l homers to his credit. But that was in l0l games. Thus far, the Sox have played 84 games.
 With the Sox virtually out of the pennant chase, Foxx is the man

HUGE. TURNOUT HALLS CLASSY AMATEUR BOUTS
Extra Seats, Standing Room damned at Local
 Show FavOrites Win

Boxing has returned to Water bury with a bang! Well over 4,000 fans damned their way into the Randolph Cloves Stadium last night to see the first amateur show in 8 local ring within two years. They were rewarded with a gilt-edged show from top to bottom, including a couple of knockouts, and will, in all probability be back next week Thursday for the second presenta- ton under the auspices of Mickey Dance, Bobby Kelly, and the Water bury A. c.
 Results
 Frankie Buff, the South End middleweight, obviously heavier, outpointed Irish Mickey Donahue of Stamford in a bitter battle that started fast, but Buff got to the Irisher in the third round to win going away and also was given a timepiece by popular acclaim of the fans. Tommy Ciarlo, IS year old lightweight, won a clean-cut decis- ion from Joe Grenier also of Wa terbury in a bout that pleased the several thousand who stormed the ringside and available standing space. Dick Turcotte, 137, stopped left-handed Joe Polowitzer of Wind sor Locks in the second round while Midget Renault of New Haven stopped Baby Dixon of Waterbury in the final round. Joe Marcus of Windsor, a blond, be-mustached slugger, won tight nod over Sammmy Mammone of Stamford.
 Joe Milano, Waterbury, 174, used a hard right uppercut to advan- tage and cut down the Adonis, Pete Rohal, Ansonia, 175, after 35 seconds of the third round. Milanc dropped his blond foe for a two- count in the second round, and floored him in hurry in the next session before Jim Calvin stopped the tilt.
 Tom Collins, Waterbury Negro, 148 1-4, outpointed Ray Ackerly White Plains, 148, in an interest ing duel. Both swapped for sev- eral seconds after the first round ended, and had several stirring ex- changes in the last two heats.
 Other results:
 Tony Gillo, New Haven, 148, de- feated Frank Milano. Stamford, 148
 Mike X. Callahan, Shelton, 1858, defeated Charles Thomas, Water bury, 160.

If, as he claims, Rogers Hornsby 'knows a thing or two about whats going on with the St. Louis Browns" !" 1t strikes me that Judge Landis ought to have him tell 1t to the public.
 Hornsby's parting shot, in which he namesnameS, strengthens the supposition that there was vastly more to his dismissal than was re- vealed.
 Nov that my financial matters are strengthened, may have some thing to say about my case, and l might do some talking about some of the players" asserts the deposed manager. When I say the players I mean Jim Bottomley and Eollie Hemsley.
 I'm not sore at Bottomley for getting my job. Someone had to be- come manager when Donald Barnes became dissatisfied with my services, but Jim owes a lot to me. He prac- tically was washed up as a player when I made the deal for him with tLle ClnClHldIl tLeuS q year dBo ItiAo past spring.
 Jim and I got along swell, all right, and if he is smart he will not do. too much popping off. MT. Barnes might not think so well of some of his players if atart talk ing.
 Bottomley Should Speak Up
 q hold no grudge against anyone, although despite my iron-clad con- troct MT. Barnes called me into his office and handed mee letter in- forming me of my immediate release. Why, he didn't even give me the customary notice of 10 days. A bush league player gets that much con- sideration. but I've been fired off better ball clubs than the Browns,

The recent one-man stand of Donald Budge against the rest of the tennis world in Davis Cup Competition brings up the question of how Budge rates with the tennis greats of past and present. Proc tically every so-called "expert" will differ, because 1t is very difficult to compare a player of today with one who was champion ten years ago. The biggest obstacles are the late achievements of Budge because their regency is apt to influence a person too much.
 Who shall be included among the best players in the world over the last 15 years? Naturally the first name that appears is that of Bill Tilden. His greatness is still evident he is well past forty, an age that very few top-notchers even ap- proach. When 8 player reaches now, he is called through" Tilden's great all-around play, in my opinion has yet to be matched by any play CT. He had everything that was needed, and with his couorful per- sonality he was the greatest at- traction of his time. Along with Bill Tilden, the names Winnie Richards and Bill Johnson come up. Two great players without any doubt but not of Bills ranking. Johnson was a little fellow of 120 pounds who never gave up until the last point was over. Richards biz rival of Tilden, was shade behind both Bills as far as accomplish. ments go.
 Frenchmen Not Great
 Americas supremacy in the Davis Cup competition ended in 1927 when two great singles players tool over the trophy to France. Henr Cochet and Rene Lacoste ranl among the first ten of the world but I believe that neither can clain the No. 1 position among the worlt players. Both were great players ut they came to the top when Til den was fading, and when there wa! a lack of younger stars.
 This brings us up to Fredericl Perry and Ellsworth Vines, twt players, either of whom might b. ranked as the best player of all time. As far as I am concerned, am convinced that Vines is the bet ter of the two. AS amateurs, Vine! was the better player. Last Winter Vines and Perry put on a series O thrilling matches as professionals In the important three sets out O. five, matches Vines was the winner most of the time. Having seen bott of them play. am also convinced tha these matches were not fixed. Vines superiority lies in his terrific service, and his more dependable backhand. Perry uses his accurate forehand as his big weapon. His forehand is propably the steadiest in the game.
 Won Cramm Able
 The year is now 1887, and one player stands above the tennis world. Donald Budge, our one-mar Davis Cup team, is being acclaimed as the greatest player of all time because of his great accomplish ments over the past three months Before discussing Budge, I would like to add one more name to the list of great players. With nc thought of being challenged, sug.

Tilden And Vines Greatest
 Netmen, Says Local Expert

gest Baron Won Cramm as anothei addition to the tennis "FIaIl of Fame" Won Crarnm is but a shade below Budge's game, and this alone is enough evidence to convince a jury of tennis experts that Van Chamm is one of the better players of our age. Won Cramm has that necessary flight" that makes a player a top-notcher.
 Budge is typical California typ of player. He plays a slugging gam featuring a terrific service, and on of the best backhandS in the game Budge at the present time woult rank after Tilden, Vines and Perr in my scale, but Budge who is onl 9 now, should be at the top of tn scale, when he is about 24, whici should find him at his peak. The California ace is above the amateur field now and in two more years he should hit dizzy heights never reached by other players. It is a great deal of fun to predict, so my sole contribution is that in 1899 J. I Donald Budge, whether a profess sional of an amateur, will stand un- challenged in the tennis world. Most predictions fall by the way-side, but with my money on Budge, think that the odds are with me.
 Best Ten
 My first ten players over the last 15 years would rank as follows:
 1. William T. Tilden (U.S.)
 2. Ellsworth Vines U.S0
 3. Frederick Perry (EnglandD
 4. Donald Budge (U.S)
 5. William Johnson (U.S.)
 6. Baron Gottfied Won Cramm
 Germany
 '. Henri Cochet (France)
 8. Reni LaCoste (France)
 g. Vinni Richards (U.S.)
 10. John Doeg (U.S.)
 The above rankings will natural ly be disputed, SO my only point of explanation will be the No. 10 player, Johnny Doeg, our National Champion in 1881, a play- CT, who retired after he won the title. Doeg in his brief, stay in American tennis showed that he was player of wonderful all- around ability. If he had not re- tired so young, the Davis Cup prob- ably would have come back to United States for a spell. However, we have it now, so let's hope Budge doesn't get "budged" by professional offers.

who now will serve as the gate att traction. Gus H. Fan still gets his greatest thrill out of a home run. And he'll pay the freight just to see Foxx hit one.
 Right now. Jimmy is playing the greatest all-round baseball of his career. He's fielding better than he ever was. The story of his hitting comeback has been told.
 "I'll have that batting average right up there where it ought to be" !" Foxx promises.

United Press Staff COrrespOndenD
 New York, July 30. (UP)-Echoes of another deadly home run bar rage were heard around the major league circuit today. Three games were won yesterday by circuit clouts, and the outcome of two others was swayed by them. Last Tuesday last inning homers decided three games.
 Only il homers-4 in the National and ' in the American-were hit yesterday, a small number but they were potent.
 Again the Tanks had @ game win ming homer. Bill Dickey hit one into the Detroit bull-pen to break 6-6 tie with two out in the ninth and give the Tanks a 7-6 triumph. Lou Gehrig had previously hit one with 8 runner on to keep the Tanks in the game.
 Jimmy Foxx clouted his 26th homer and his third in three days with mate aboard to give the Bos- ton Red Sox a 5 to 3 victory over the St. Louis Browns.
 Dolf Camilli hit a homer with the bases loaded and Earl Grace hit one with a mate on base to bring the Phillies from behind to beat Pittsburgh, 11-7.
 Roy (Little Thunder) Weatherly and Lyn Lary hit homers which kept Cleveland in the game and en- abled them to beat the Athletics in the ninth. Bob Weiland's homer contributed to the Cardinals 5-2 win over the Giants.
 The Yankees triumph, achieved largely through Detroit misplays kept them six. games out in front in the American league. An error on ground ball by Billy Rogell in the first inning presented the Tanks with two runs. The Tigers made 12 hits to the Tanks seven but couldn't compete with the world champions long range guns and overcome their own nisplays, too.
 Thornton Lee, Chicago southpaw, held Washington to five hits and the White Sox won, 20, and moved back into second place ahead of the Tigers.
 Errors by Ace Parker and Lou Finney enabled Cleveland to score two unearned runs in the ninth and beat the Athletics, 5-4.
 FoXx's homer proved the winning margin for the Red Sox in their 5-3 victory over the Browns. The three National league leaders all lost. Brooklyn slapped down the Cubs, 10-2, but Chicago retained Q 3-game lead. Billy Jurges and Billy Herman, Cubs Keystone combina- tion, were slightly hurt but will be able to play in the crucial series against the Giants opening today. Fred Farmhouse kept the Cubs 10 hits scattered while his mates pounded Davis, Shoun and Parme- lee for 13 blows.
 Bob Weiland held the Giants to seven hits and the Cardinals won 5-2 St. louis rapped Ben Cantwell, recently recalled from Jersey City, for four of their runs. Berger's sim gle in the 9th drove in New York's only two runs.
 Pittsburgh blew a Tel lead and lost to the Phillies, 11-7. Comilli's homer with the bases loaded broke Blanton's back, and then Graves homer with one on proved the win- ming punch.
 Cincinnati dropped back into a tie with Brooklyn for sixth place by losing to the Boston Bees, 2-1.
 Yesterdays Hero-Bill Dickey, whose 9th inning homer won for the Tanks.

NAUCY METER
 REACHES FINALS

Gordon Riach is the only tennis player between Henry Cieslewski of Naugatuck and the permanent pos- session of the Daniel J. Leary tro- phy plus the 1897 championship of the Chase Park tournament, though ebfore that match takes place Riach must defeat John Stollar this evening which he figures to do with comparative ease, according to close observers of net form. Tn the mean time, Cieslewski has yet to be ex- tended to three sets in winning and he has reached the final round through a 6-2, 6-2 going over of John Tata last evening. Tata made several errors and when the Nauga- tuck netman had to press a bit he ran through games that brought him to the threshold of his second Chase Park championship in as many seasons.
 Ray Phaneuf will umpire the final match tomorrow afternoon at 3 D. m., and will probably attract a very large crowd of tennis fans. Riach won over Vic Sabal yesterday, 6-l: 6-2.
