Welshmaf1 much chance. Louis was quoted at 6 to 1 in the odds today, and there was little Farr money. almost without exception the mem. bers of boxing's delightful frater. nity believed that Joe would have little trouble in making his first de. fense of the title Q highly success full one.
 The gate is likely to come close to the all-heavywieght championship low, which, incidentally, was estab- lished in 1883 when those two in- tellectuals, Jack Sharkey and Primo Camera, drew $l98,289. Tonight's in- take Is not expected to exceed $250,- 900 although promoter Mike Jacobs VOWS 1t will exceed $325, 5,000. Jacobs says he has tlready has more than $200,000 on hand.
 Win, lose or draw Farr is going to get more nancy than he ever saw before. He was guaranteed tax free $50,000 before he sailed from Eng land, or 20 per cent. Louis will be paid 40 percent of the net gate, and has no guarantee.
 Both fighters came to town today for the weighing-in ceremonies at the state boxing commission. Farr will go in the ring at about 203 against Louis 198.
 The weather man took @ long look ct the sky today and predicted there would be no postponement, saying he saw flair with moderate tempera- tures." The bout is scheduled for 10 | D, m, D, D. T.

Estimated attendance (by un- biased parties): 35,000.
 Farr's chance of taking title: About the same as a fellow would have of making "7" with one dice, which, if I'm not confusing 1t with stadia, is singular for dice.
 Louis chance of retaining title: All Joe has to do is avoid rigor mor- tis, measles, and housemaid's knee.
 Betting odds: There is no betting. The one man who showed up with some Farr money was grabbed by the Smithsonian Institute, and to- day swings from the ceiling along with Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis and Eli Whitney's cotton gin.
 Weather: For Farr-Stormy with lightning flashes. For Louis-Just a light breeze.
 Weights: Farr-About IA stone, and each one will seem a millstone along about 10:17 D. m. Louis-198 pounds or about one a second for the time it will take him to finish the thing.
 Referee: Unnamed as yet, but like ly to be chosen from the 10 highest ranking students of the upper Long Island School of Embalming and Repair.

 Place: Yankee Stadium-The off, cial abattoir of the New Yonk Yankees baseball teams. It is in the stadium, in October, that the team unlucky enough to win the National League pennant will be pole-axed.

 Principals: Joe Louis-23, the col- or of Aunt Emma's caramel cus- tards, social. lion of Harlem's sugar hill, and the only man in America who can be arrested for carrying concealed weapons whenever he puts his hands in his pockets.
 Tommy Farr: g, has face like professional se-haunter, born in Tony Pandy, Wales, which is place known only to Tommy and Rand McNally, talks like something out of Dickens, an dwill get the dickens knocked out of him tonight.

Rowdy Richard Proves Importance By Starting Winning Streak Day He Returns After Month Rest

Bill Terry's World Series Ticket. If Terry gets into the fall classic, as we say, it will be on the strength of MT. Bartell.
 The peppery little shortstop is rather burdened with nicknames, however. He is sometimes referred to as Rowdy Richard, sometimes as Daredevil Dick, and he has also been called a-but that's what Mr. Joe Judge calls him and 1t would hardly do in a family newspaper. MT. Judge, you know, is the former first baseman who was spiked by Rowdy Richard some few years back which is one of the reasons Rowdy Richard got to be known as Rowdy Richard. He's forever finding his spike stuck in some other ath- letes shanks.
 Or, at least, he was until he went to the Giants during the winter of 1885. Terry took his aside and cau- toned him against such stuff.
 In fact, Terry went so far as to try to choke off some of the chat ter in MT. Bartell's larynx. One day when Dick was raising quite fuss out in the field, Terry roared across the diamond: Hey, you, cut out the cheer leading-play ball!" It Runs in the Family
 Rowdy Richard Is rather in- teresting citizen For instance, he was born left-handed but his father recovered from his horror quick enough to correct him.
 You see, his father had been a ball player and he knew what would happen If he let little Richard grow up to be left-handed pitcher, or something.
 Papa Bartell was one of the best semi-pro ball players in Chicago. Dicks three uncles were some shakes on the diamond, too-Uncle Willie getting as far as @ spring training trip with the Cubs.
 From Uncle Willie, Dick has 8 medal the old gentleman once won for base-stealing, and from his dad, Dick has a burning ambition ito make triple play unassisted be- cause the old boy made one once, he tells me, and I've never heard the last of it."
 Dick, who Is one of the best field ing shortstops in baseball, uses the smallest glove of them all, thinks going to the right Is Q terrific job, never shifts his position according to the pitch-"because it'll tip off the batter" and says that pop flies back of second are the bane of shortstops.
 "The second baseman and two or three outfielders are also going after the ball and with the crowd hol- lering you can't hear your team mates yell who's going to take the ball." says Dick.
 He can still remember his first hit as a professional T was play ing in the Butte Mines League" re- calls Dick My hands were wet with nervous sweat, I shook like leaf, the pitcher wound up I shut my eyes tight, and swung. The next thing I knew the manager was hollering, Run, you little idiot, run . had hit the ball and got two bases."
 The little idiot is still running but now it's the pitchers who shudder and close their eyes.

TED HORTON TO TEACH, COACH

East Northfield, Mass, Aug. 26-- Ted Horton, Yale's pitching ace for the past three seasons and now pitcher for the Toronto Leafs in the International League, will join the teaching staff of Mount Hermor school, his alma mater, this coming fall according to an announcement today by Headmaster David R. Por- ter. Horton will assist in coaching baseball in addition to his regular duties as a teacher.
 Showing promise of a great pitch- ing career as an undergraduate al Mount Hermon in 1884, Horton went to Yale, where he has been the mainstay of the varsity pitch- ing staff for three years. His rec ord this season was twelve games won and two lost.
 Like his classmate, Larry Kelley Horton is notably strong in the pinches, figuring directly in the winning tallies in tie Harvard and Princeton games. He has had a consistently good record against these ancient rivals of Yale during the past three years and this sea- son he pitched his team to victory against each of them twice.
 Wilbur Woodland, captain of the Yale Track and Cross-C Country teams was 8 classmate of Horton's ct Mount Hermon.

New York, Aug. 2E - If you be looking for a clew As to why the New York Giants are back up there in the National League race look no farther than the second line of their box score.
 There, once again, you will read:
 Bartell, Ss
 This is one of the most important lines in history-as important as the 1924 Seven Mules of Notre Dame, the Seven Rocks of Fordham, and the International Date Line.
 For two different stretches this season the line was missing. One afternoon MT .Bartell, who, as you may suspect, plays shortstop, and considerable of 1t, went far to his right for a ground ball, scooped 1t up, and in in his own furious fash ion threw every last ounce of his body behind @ heave to first base.
 It so happened that the last ounce objected to being thrown around like this. MT. Bartell came up with 6 crick in his back, or something, and had to go to the sidelines. This happened on the afternoon of July 18. At the time, the Giants and the Chicago Cubs were as close as these two lines of type. MT. Bartell's team was only a bit of a percentage point behind the leading Cubs.
 Terry Curbs Bartell
 Well, sir, what happens? MT. Bartell is on the sidelines from that afternoon until Friday, August 13, and the Giants drop 6 1-2 games behind the Cubs.
 So then what happens? MT. Bar tell plays every minute of the next four games and the Giants promptly win four straight and the Cubs lead melts like a schooner of ice cream dumped on the steaming cor ner of Hades Highway and Satan avenue.
 All of which would seem to indi- cate that if MT. Carl Hubbell is de- serving of the hattering title of The Meal Ticket certainly there could be no harm in nicknaming MT. Bartell

 FOR FAST START
 OF GRID SEASON
Night Game Next Wednes. day in Danbury With
 Brooklyn Dodgers

Danbury, Aug. 26l-(SpeciaD-A A Floyd, 8 giant of a youth who hail: from the Kansas prairies Is the lates acquisition of the state champion Danbury Trojans, who open theil football season next Wednesday night at Lee Stadium against the Brooklyn Dodgers of the Nationa Professional league. The kickoff 1. slated for 8:45 under the floodlights
 Floyd, who stands six feet foul inches high, graduated year ago last June from little Southwestern University in Kansas. He played football with the New York Yankees last fall and turned in a. superfint job as end man. The acquisition o. the western giant completes Coach Jack Thompson's corps of flankmen which now gives promise of holding its own against even the crack pail of the Bristol West Ends-Georgt Mulligan and Sugar Hugret.
 Strong Center Trio
 The Trojans will be formidable in. deed in the center of the line where 220 pound Deke Pillsbury of Colgate will be at the pivot spot, Milt Singer of Syracuse and the New York Giants at left guard, and Butch Piv. arnik of Notre Dame and the JhillS Eagles at right guard. The last men. toned pair tip the scales at 2lS pounds apiece.
 Thompson Is in the market for 6 brawny tackle and an ace fullback He may succeed in signing Dart mouths Johnny Handrahan before the week is out. Handrahan rated highly last year at the fullback post Mickey Kobrosky, the Trinity jack. rabbit and Ike Kern will do the bulk of the ball toting. With these two high scoring halfbacks in the Trojan lineup the matters will have one of the most versatile offensive backfields in professional football.
 All the top ranking l936 veterans are back in harness. The Trojans will hold their final practice sessions Sunday afternoon and next Tuesday night.
 May Set Crowd Record With football rushing the season the Trojan-Dod game will be the first grid battle in the United States this season. Lee Stadium's 500( seats should be damned for tho struggle and 1t may be that Wed. nesday's battle will set a new atten. dance record for the Trojan's sever years of existence. The game witt the New York Giants three year. ago drew better than 6,000..
 Coach Potsy Clark warns the Dan. bury outfit not to bank on the Brooklyns to turn up as soft as last years aggregation which won O 7-l last minute victory on long touch. down pass. Clark has moulded ar eleven that critis say will win tho eastern half championship of tn, National league. He has combed tho nations campuses for more than ( score of big talented collegians ant has retained only seven members ol last years team.

 And, in addition to being treated to a fine collection of action pro- viding hookupS, the fans will also be kept in close touch with the pro- ceedings in the Joe Louis and Tom my Farr championship heavyweight battle in New York. The manage ment has arranged to provide round by round accounts between bouts.
 Looks Good
 It is a fine list of matches that Co-matchmakers Mickey Dance ard Bobby Kelly have lined up for to- nights show. Starting with the Freddie Pease-Joe Triano feature presentation and right down the line including all the preliminaries, every bout gives promise of pro- ducing plenty of action and thrills.
 Much is expected of Pease, the Willimantic slugger, and Triano, Naugatuck's fighting representative, Both boys have large followings here by virture of their fine work in many showings here and with each resorting to almost the same lines of offensive, hard punches and clever mixers, 1t would not be @ big surprise if the engagement ended prematurely in a knockout.
 It will mark the second time that the two have met. Tn the first hookup they engaged in three furi- ous rounds, but when it was all done they were even, the referee handing down a draw decision. Many claim since that time that Pease is the better of the two adn for that reason, Triano had been bounding for a rematch to prove his superiority. He will have to be at his best to turn in Q win.
 A heavyweight bout is also billed as one of the featurse of the even- ing This will show Johnny Lesco, the 205-pound Willimantic crusher, and Vic Galaci, 187, of New Bri- tain. These two are considered by many as the best in their class in the state and when they start swinging, anything is likely to hap pen. It is almost a certainty that this affair will end in a knockout. It is difficult, however, to hazard guess as to just who will do the trick.
 Fans are eagerly awaiting the Joey Marcus-Tommy Tucker re- match. Marcus, Windsor Locks specialist, and Tucker, Waterbury Spaniard, put up whale of @ battle last week, having the fans in a frenzy througout the three rounds. It was @ slam-bang toe to toe af- fair all the way through, and many insist 1t was the best bout thus far this season.
 Two Champs
 Sam Maltempo, state middle weight king, of Willimantic, and Eddie (Kid) Jackson, of New Lon- don, who rules the roost in the light heavyweight division, will be the principals in another of the feature bouts.
 Sal tMidgeD Renault, New Haven state flyweight title holder, and Sammy Mammone, pleasing mixer from Stamford, are to collide. Ac- ton galore is anticipated among these small youngsters.

 Ithaca, N. Y. - (UP)---Aithoukis Cornell is being touted by rival coaches as the Eastern team 't6 watch" during the 1887 football race, Snavely, "new deals coach of the Big Red, insists prospects are uncertain" this year.
 Faced with the hardest schedule in the history of the school, Snavely declared i've can't bo too optimistic about the number Of vic. tories"
 we lost rather heavily hy grad. uation and by academic casualties" ," the former North Carolina mentor who was brought here last year, to pull Cornell out of the football dols drums, said. we will have c steadier, more rugged and better seasoned team than last year. Our running game will be decidedly stronger and I believe we will show . better defense on the ground. But in kicking and passing we win be definitely weaker"
 2 Won, : Lost Last Year
 Last year, with Q team composed mainly of sophomores, gnavely won three games and lost i've. Al games were marked by the fiery play of his "yearlings." With few exceptions, these sophom0res return to action this fall.
 Fifty.three aspirants have been invited to fall practice, scheduled to begin Sept. 6. e.a
 Heaviest losses were suffered in the backfield. Jack Batten, ace passer and punter, was graduated and Dick Baker, triple threat back from Tonawanda, left school. In addition Jim Sheffer, flrst-strins fullback last year, is on the "d0ubt. full" list due to academic difncul- ties.
 Loss of these stars, 'key" men in Snavely's deceptive attack, may force him to change his tactics this year and develop his offensive more on power days.

 A veteran line will be snavely's forte. Back ct center is Captain Ted Hughes; Jack Hemingway, El- lott Hooper, Al Roth and Jim Rutledge form . quartet of capable guards; Bill McKeever and Al van Ranst, first-string men last year. plug the tackles: and Brun Hol-| land and Carl Spang give Cornell two of the finest ends in the statel
 In the backfeld, returning letter. men include Bob Boochever, 0s-' wald 0ildersleeve, Bill Moult0nl George Peck and Bob Rose.
