PERRIN PARKER, DAVIS MARCOS
 ON LOCAL CARD
Several Promising Battles on Local Program
 Thursday

Two of the ten bouts that have more than an even chance of matching the two top spots for &C., tion and public approval, when the gathering of fans takes place Thursday night at Randolph Gloves Stadium will show Billy Perrin of Bristol and Johnny Par ker of Chicopee, Mass, and state bantam champ Henry Davis of New Britain against Joe Marcus of Windsor Locks.
 It is doubtful is the hard hitting Perrin has met anyone of Parker's hitting ability and speed in some time, if ever, for the Bay State lad has shown to strong advantage in Thompsonville and Hartford be- coming one of the most popular welterweights during the current outdoor campaign. Both Perrin and Parker have long suit on hitting, which is indicative of a k. o. inside the three rounds they are oNAlCoUACA UO oPPCdAs
 Looks Good
 Davis, the able little colored boy from the Hardware City will prob ably outpoint Marcus, young, strong lad featuring blonde mous- tache, who has not put up bad fight in two years of amateur cam- paigning, as he is slugger by na- ture and can take 8 punch with the best in his class. Marcus has scored many a knockout, though he will have trouble solving the box ing style of Davis, who is the state champ at 116 pounds and good one.
 Joe PoloWitzer's left-handed style of fighting may bother Kid Sal of Meriden for a while, but once the slugging Silver City lad catches up with Joseph there should be a few knockdowns though Joe is quite capable of putting out southpaw crusher that has won many a bout for him.
 Dick Turcotte, stung by local jubilation over his loss to Danny Houlihan last week, will be out to finish Bobby Ellis, clever New Brit ain southpaw lightweight, whom Turcotte stopped in the first round week ago in New Haven.

Boston Sports. Salad
By ROBERT WEBB
United Press Staff Correspondent

Boston, July 12-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 Say what you want about the tattered regiments of the Blue and the Gray but the Bees aren't toe well off either Only 18 able bodied players are available as the club marches into the west. Six ot these are pitchers. .Stengel, Hopes, Tha Garms, Moore, and MacFay- den will be available before the end of the trip.
 Although scouts for both Boston teams are proving around in the minors, apparently no new players will be purchased by either club It is rumored that the Red Sox are unwilling to spend any more money -Four million dollars is enough even though just a little more dough might put the Sox in first place.
 Jimmy Foxx has absolved Charlie Gehringer, an-star second baseman from Detroit, of any blame for fail- ing to cover first base on Duro- cher's bunt in the rectn all-star game. On a bunt to third base, says Foxx, the Detroit first base man covers the bag so Gehringer naturally thought Gehrig would cover.
 The Yankees, on the other hand, expect the second baseman to take the throw That explains why Gehrig didn't scramble back to the bag. .Foxx's throw, you will recall, went into right field and paved the way for two runs because When DiMaggio recovered the ball, he threw wild into the National league dugout.
 Big Hearted
 Rockingham Park employees have taken ten per cent wage cut to compensate for the tracks break age loss Paying off to the penny didn't seem to handicap payoffs yesterday although the mutuel de- partment will be pressed on big day such as Saturday. A crowd of nine thousand was on hand for the opening of the l8-day meeting.
 Floyd Bell of Suffolk Downs re- calls the days when Fairmount park paid off to the penny in 1925 =. Everyone took the pennies as a joke" he said, "and plenty of peo- pie tossed them away. It was a poor day for youngster who couldn't ipck up a dollars worth during the afternoon. Rocking ham planned to play Pennies From Heaven" over the public ad- dress system but the record didn't arrive,
 Going Up
 The Red Sox are the only major league club that has already beaten every team in its league five times Gil English's hitting has picked up greatly since he came off the at third base. When Lou Gehrig ends his streak og consecutive bench to replace the injured Garms games at first base, perhaps Tom Heinrich will get the job. If he

SCHEIK "GOT THE
 GATE" AT SALEM

Salem. N. H.. July 12-CUP)-The first disqualification of the New England racing season marked the opening of an 18-day race meeting yesterday at Rockingham park, where the track breaks to the penny.
 Mrs. Wyses Passport, ridden by Freddie Scheih, won a neck victory over E. R. Bradley's Bootless in the feature race but was disqualified because Scheih cut over on the field and jan.med Bootless on the rail shortly after the start. The stewards also announced that Scheih was grounded 10 days for his foul.
 Six favorites won and seventh lost by neck during the days action. The daily double payoff of $8.93 was the lowest of the New England season. The crowd of 5000 bet $220238.

MOORE MEDALIST OF P. 6. A. MEET
 WITH TWO 68'S
Rookie Doyle Makes Four FavOrites 8 to l.; Bill
 Burke vs. Willie Klein
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Shawnee n-Delaware, Pa, July 11-(UP)-The field in the national P. G. A. championship played fol- low-the-leader today.
 With the dew still on the greens and the good squires of the Pocono valley at breakfast, Denny Shute, defending titlist in this hottest of gold tournaments, teed off against Clyde Usina to start the five days of man to man match play.
 By freak of the draw Shute, seeking his third consecutive title, drew Usina, fellow Bostonian and a man who works at the club where Deny makes his residence. They are good friends an dearly this week Shute gave Clyde lesson in an ef- fort to improve his fairway shots.
 Following the first pair, at five minute intervals, was the remaining 31 matches involving the par break ingest players in P. G. A. history. Thirty-one of the boys broke perfect figures in the second qualifying round, and the medalist, Frank Moore of Mamaroneck, N. Y, fired his second straight 68 for total of 136. This figure tid the qualifying record established by Fred Morrison in 1929.
 Forty eight matches will be played today. AS soon as the first round is completed the remaining 32 players will go at it again over the rolling Shawnee Country club to cut the field to 16. Today is the day the great of the game dread, because all matches are at 18 holes, and in 18 holes anything can hap pen. Let a great golfer start a bit slow and before he knows it fellow named Joe from St. Joe will have him too many down and not enough to play. Once past today and a sound golfer can breathe easier, be- cause starting tomorrow all battles will be at 36 holes.
 There were the usual number of rabbit vs. wolf" combinations in today's first round play, but there was also surprising number of skirmishes involving top flight per- formers. Ed Dudley and Johnny Farrell for one, and Harry Cooper and Felix Serafin for another. Both these matches are in tn etop half of the draw. The lower half is dotted with rugged matches. Willie Klein and Billy Burke, former open champion, will have at one another, and so will Sam Parks and Harold McSpaden, Tony Manero and Joe Belfoure, and Johnny Revolta and Wiffy Cox.
 Broadway Jack Doyle, who risked exposure to fresh air to make book on the tournament rates Denny Shute, Ralph Guldahl, Sam Snead and Medalist Moore as co-favorites at 8 to l. Jack admits, however, that he has no sound reason for holding these boys at a shorter price than such worthy sharp shooters as Henry Picard, Dick Metz, Jimmy Demaret, Cooper and Revolta.
 Weather here in the mountains has been perfect for low scores. A warm sun, little or no wind, and soft greens left little or no excuse for soaring scores.

dellO FOLKS.
 The game between the Corsairs Jrs. and "The Beer Lushers" was suro . thriller; "The Beer Lushers" woa the game by the tune of 6-3 behind the alright pitching of Joe "Blubber" Landof, who twirled two hit ball. Shorty Debellis, who stands about as high as our errand bow Cossy DePalma patroled in right field, contributed the fielding gem of the day when from deep right field he made a perfect peg to nail Johnny Jacobs at the plate Shorty was 50 elated about this play that he was quoted as saying after the game. "They all talk about Joe DfMaggios arm; but what some of those big league scouts should do is come down and take a look at me-"
 Tommy Ely" Zelano lost few bets on the All-Star game last week and incidentally Tommy and his pal, Dom Lucian took trip to New Rochelle, N. Y. Sunday.
 The Nardozzi- -Guerrera duo tried to give the boys a few lessons in how to dance. Yours truly was very interested.
 Fritz Stolf has resigned as treas urer and Al Depalma took over. The WPA took much of Fritz's time and with hardly enough time to devote to the book Fritz thought it best to resign. Incidentally Fritz had the whole club in mysteries when he told the boys that during his trip to N. Y, he went through the streets of New York with map In his hand; and whenever he ad- dressed an officer he would call him "buddie."
 The Stolfi family dominated the baseball pool last week, Pete win- ming high (S1.00 and Andy win ming low (6oc).
 We wondered why Harry One Eye" Bovin was so peeved last Fri day night. Perhaps it was because his idol George Selkirk made a costly error against the Red Sox and then to make matter worse he was punched the following day.
 Johnny "Bonehead" Jacobs seems to be an anxious worker. He is all ways the first one to come in the morning and cleans up the club better than some women can clean Johnny handles that broom like a veteran.
 Jake Nardozzi didn't have much to say when he heard about Carl Hubbells fate in Saturdays game against the Bees.
 Some of the boys under the lead ership of Fritz (Arturo ToscanninD Stolf1 made some feeble attempts so harmonZe to some of the more popular tunes. However their best attempts were considered lousy" by the club experts.
