ROCKNE'S SON
GRID CANDIDATE

SOUTH BEND, Aug. 23.-A
15O-pound quarterback, standing
only 5 feet 6 inches, will be a
candidate this fall for the Notre
Dame freshmen football squad.
Not enough beef, not enough
height for a college player. That
might be the first verdict.
Yet this little fellow should
make up in grit for what he lacks
in size. He's the son of Knute
Rockne, Notre Danes immortal
coach, whose career was cut short
at its zenith in a fatal Kansas
plane crash March 80, 1881.
Miami School
Young Knute, jr., comes to the
South Bend school from the Miami
Military Academy, where he
starred as captain and quarter
back of the eleven. From reports
there he is credited with the fight
ing spirit of his father and con-
siderable ability, especially as
runner and pass receiver. Hered-
ity must enter in there. Knute,
ST., was on the receiving end OF
the first great passing combination
-Dorais to Rockne.
As the son of Rockne, Knute,
jr., will be in the spotlight. His
physical qualifications appear to
be a handicap, but handicaps
should not halt him. Knute, ST..
had them, too, yet he became one
of the greatest ends in Irish his
tory, and rose to unprecedented
peaks as coach.
No FavOritism
Young Knute, who bears strong
facial resemblance to his father
probably neither expects nor Will
find any favoritism. When alive
Rockne liked to tell the story Of
the time his 11-year-old son, who
had just made the midget eleven
at the Pembroke School in Kansas
hustled up to the coach to tel
him who he was.
"Knute Rockne is my dad"
the lad boosted.
"Who?" the coach inquired.
Coach Rockne, of Notre
Dame"
coach Rockne?" the grid
mentor said thoughtfully. mo.
I've never heard Of him."

Almost hall OF the 1lrSC 114'
games played by the farm hands
of the New York Giants were de-
cided by a single tally. Up to Au"
gust 8, the club had participated
in a total of 81 one-run-margin
games, but won only "a of them
while losing 80. There also were
IA games where the margin sep
arating victor and vanquished was
only two runs. In these contests,
the Jerseys won only thrice while
losing II times.
Lack of real offensive, which
was evident soon after the season
started, explains those one-run
and two-run defeats. The club has
not had a consistent 800 hitter
all season and, as a result, many
well-pitched games found the Jer-
Seys on the short end.
At the pace the Jerseys are now
travelling, they should SurpaSs the

doomed to finish last. Even the

.JOBIE REAL
HELP TO FAIRS
IMPAIRMENT
BY HYPE IGOE

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Aug. "a.
Tommy Farr is a far happier and
more commended man now-that
his old-time crony Job Chamber
lain, is on the grounds.
"Jobie," as Tommy calls him,
was an old booth fighter himself,
and they tell many stories of his
courage and his loyalty to the boy
who came up out of the Welsh
coal mines to become the cham
pion heavyweight of the British
Empire.
Chamberlain will be chief ad.
wiser in the corner when Farr sets
forth on the quest for the worlds
championship against Joe Louis
at the Yankee Stadium on the
night of August 26, as he always
has been.
"Jobie" has watched over and
advised FAIR in every move he has
made in his story-book climb to
the highest brackets an English
man can attain in John Bulls
rings.
Farr has fretted, fumed and
gone "quinine" over the attitude
of the English sports writer's who
just can't seem to believe that
FAIR has arrived and really is
some pumpkins in the heavy
weight field.
Their "belittling" also has
thrown Uncle Mike Jacobs into a
fighting mood, and he called up
Farr on the telephone and told
him that if his own people in
sisted on derioing the golden
haired Welshman, there would be
a real battle on at Long Branch
Uncle Mike fairly beloved over
the telephone:
Il told you I would protect
you if you came over here to
fight for me. I stand behind
that promise. Nobody will be
permitted to go into your camp
who comes there purposely to
bother you. You are a stranger
in a new land. You will get
every possible considera ton and,
above all, a square deal.
ut is every writer's privilege
to say what he pleaSes about
you. You made good in your own
country without them. I want
you to make good here. If the
English critics keep up their
panning for no other good rea-
son than spite or jealousy, then
the war is on.

GOMEZ NEARS 20
MARK FOR Wins

NEW YORK, Aug. "a (C.TP.S0.
Lefty Gomez needs only five more
victories to make it an even 20
for the season and the wiry south
paw ought to be good for at least
six more before the Yankees start
swinging for their World Series
home runs. Between them, Gomez
and Charley Ruffing may have as
many of 43 triumphS when the
regular season is completed.
The next time Ruffing starts
again, which probably will he
against the White Sex in Chicago
tomorrow, Big Red will be trying
for his seventeenth success. After
he had gained a decision over the
Senators in his most recent en-
gagement he estimated he would
be able to squeeze in six more
wins before he takes look at the
National Leagues World Series
representatives.
Packing more than a score OF
victories into a single season, as
he is destined to do this year, isn't
going to a be a new thrill for
Gomez. He didn't win as many
as 20 games last year nor in 1885,
but in 1884 his fire-bau pitching
carried him to 26 triumphs. His
fast ball was the talk of the town
that season, and now he is show

speedy pitches. Lefty is recaptur-

Farr No Match for Louis,
Lacks a Punch---Walsh
BRITISHER HAS
NO CATE APPEAL
FOR TITLE BOUT
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH
International News Service Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Does
anybody wish to cut his own
throat? Does anybody care about
ending it all with house-wifely
SashweightS?
There aren't any plausible an
SwerS. Neither are there any to
the fantastic story that Tommy
Farr, apparently a general no
good from the mines around Tony
pandy, Wales, is to and appar-
emily must meet Joe Louis for
the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship go hours hence. If I'm
trying to make a point at all, it's
that nobody's trying to pick Farr.
Apparently, the only thing they're
prepared to do about Farr is to
pick him up.
Because the guy hasn't got a
thing in the way of sucker-appeal,
the gate won't beat 5000, 900, no
matter what they tell you. There
are and have been several an
Swers. But, take it from an old
fashioned false face, with fringe,
who said that Braddock had no
chance with Baer and Schmeling
very little with Louis, no chump
without a punch can beat Louis.
GREAT INSTITUTION
Outside of that, the general
apathy is traceable to the fact
that Grants Tomb is undeniably
a great institution and that it
happens to be sucker who can't
punch. You can beat a thousand
guys with this claim and this hap
pens to be only one Of them.
Make no mistake: The fighter
who can't punch, can't beat Joe
Louis.
That's one abiding reason why
the gate receipts won't make what
they call the change out of a
quarter. The other is that it has
rained for three days and the
axiom is that nobody ever sold a
$23 ringside ticket over a wet
counter. But mostly it's Farr.
He thinks terrific encounter
but somehow they can't forget
that his punch is a caress and his
face something that looks like it's
been a little to intimate with a
Mccormick reaper. That kind Of
a pugliSt usually doesn't figure
except in SiX-round preliminary.
We now have one who, strangely,
and for some gaudy reason is a
contender for the worlds heavy.
weight championship.
FAIR CAN'T WIN
He can't win. They said the
same about Braddock against
Baer and about Schmeling
against Louis. The only point
about this argument is that Farr
really can't. Even his own jour-
nalistS from London will admit
that. They say he has a chance.
I say he hasn't a chance.
I'm one Of those look-out-for-a-
surpriSe-people who say that FAR,
maybe bad as he is, is good
enough to keep Louis non-plusSed,
at least for a few rounds. In
addition, it is my information
that nothing will be done about
the referee awarding the fight at
least a little prematurely on a
cash over that eyebrow. In other
words, the guy has got to bleed
like wounded stag before a
humane aid will come to his
rescue.
Outside of that, there doesn't
appear to be a soul in the world
who gives Tommy Farr of Tony
pandy a chance. Personally, I
give him one for 10 rounds, on
his weaving style. After that it
will be strictly up to T. FAIR, him.

BULGE COURAGE
TOPS CUP PLAY

Few athletes have shown greater
courage than did Don Bulge in the
Davis Cup finals with Germany.
Before that series Bulge must
have known that he would be
called upon to shoulder most of
the burden. If he lost either Of
his singles or he and Mako the
doubles, the U. S. cause would be
lost.
He went into action burdened
with this terrific mental hazard
and won his opening singles. Grant
lost and then Bulge and Mako
won the doubles. On the third
day Grant lost again and with the
series all even at two matches
apiece. everything depended upon
the outcome of the Budge-von
Cramm singles.
Bulge lost the first two sets and
with Won Cramm playing the best
tennis of his life there appeared to
be slight chance of the U. S. team
reaching the challenge round.
Then the redhead from Cali.
fornia rallied to take the next two
sets Ind again it was all even. But
Budge's most severe trial was still
ahead of him for in that fifth and
deciding set, the German went into
a Al lead in games.
But Bulge is the type who con.
cedeS nothing until the final point
is played. Again he rallied and in
the end took the set, the match
and the series.
Perhaps 1887 has produced q
more courageous performance
than that of Bulge but unless the
remaining months offer something
more exalted his will do

KENT FARMERS URGED
TO TREAT SEED WHEAT
FConfinHed from First Psgel


In using coppercarb the farmers
are cautioned to wear protection
over the nose to prevent inhaling the
dust when treating grain, or when
pouring the treated seed into the
drill, and to destroy all treated grain
which may be left over after the seed
ing has been completed. The feed
shaft in the grain drill should be
loosened to allow for the seeding of
treated wheat, and usually it is adj
visable to set the drill to SOW a slight
ly larger quantity of seed to the acre
than is the normal practice.
Aside from infected seed the only
other cources of infection are from
old straw from a smutty crop of
wheat, seed which has been grown
from an infected crop. or where dis
eased crop has been threshed. AS
infection occurs at the time the seed
germinates, it is governed by existing
temperatures and moisture cOndi-
tions, so factors prolonging or re-
tarding termination will favor more
infection.
Survey records show that Kent
County farmers treated 26.440 bush
esl of seed wheat last fall for smut
control. This quantity of wheat was
sufficient to plant approximately H.
$50 acres, representing 4S5 per cent
OF the entire wheat acreage in the
county 4
