DES MONIES, Iowa, July %
The Olneyville Boys Club at Provi-
dence, r. l., didn't have the neces-
sary funds to send Doris Brennan
to the 1888 senior women's National
A. A. U. swimming meet, but the 18-
year-old girl certainly has paid good
dividends on he 1889 investment.
The Providence club partly is sup
ported by community contributions
and there wasn't enough money in
the treasury to justify sending Doris
to the 1888 classic at Santa Barbara
Calf.
This year, however, she was sent
to Des Moines with few teammates.
They made the 1.40O-mile trip by
automobile and, with two days of the
national meet matter of record. it
has been an exceedingly worthwhile
tour.
Doris Sets Medley Mark.
Doris, New England sprint star,
came through with a record smash
ing performance last night in the
300-meter individual medley to es-
tablish one of the two new marks
made during the night show.
The Providence girl whipped
through the cool waters of the Bird
land pool to post time of 4:32.3 for
the distance to erase the former
record of 4:33.l set by Katherine
Rawls Thompson in 1898. She was
a good 9 feet ahead of Claudia
Eckert, the versatile girl who repre-
sents the Shawnee Country Club of
Wilmette, Ill.

Bucs Look 10 Butcher,
Taken From Phi|s,
For Slab Help
Give Up Suhr, Veteran
Coptoin, for BurIy
Riehthonder
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, July %. - The
Pirates have parted with their vet
eran captain, Gus Suhr, in an effort
to bolster depleted mound staff.
The quiet inf1elder who solved the
first base problem here for almost a
decade went to the Phillies in a
trade that brought the Bucs right
handed Max Butcher. Philadelphia
also claimed bundle of cash in the
deal.
Waivers Open Way to Deal.
Baseball law doesn't permit trades
between major teams after the June
Is deadline, so bit of legal maneu-
vering was necessary to effect the
swap. Waivers were asked and OBJ
tanned from all other teams to over
come the technicality.
The 33-year-old Suhr, 10 years
with the Pirates, has been riding the
bench most of the season due to
sensational play of substitute Elbie
Fletcher, who was obtained from the
Boston Bees. His passing from the
Pirate roster brought an expression
of regret from President William
Benswanger. A new captain was
not named Immediately.
Bucs Slab Staff Shaky.
The burly Butcher, 29-year- -old
resident of Logan, w. Va, joined
the Phillies last August after three
years with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
He has won two and lost 13 this
season. His all-time record is %
wins against 46 losses.
The Pirates have been desperately
in need of hurting reinforcements
in their fight with Chicago and st.
Louis for second place. Manager
Pie Traynor, left with only five
moundsmen due to injuries, hasn't
known from day to day who would
pitch.

Armstrone-Ambers Bout
Promises Fireworks
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, July 20 CN.AN.A).-
Sometimes we let the old-timers kid
us out of our just and rightful por-
ton.
For instance, they are trying to
cheat us about this lightweight
championship match between Henry
Armstrong and Lou Ambers with the
contention that it does not deserve
to be ranked with the Joe Cans
Battling Nelson fight, or the Benny
Leonard-Ritchie Mitchell fight, or
even the Leonard-Tend battle.
Twenty years from now it is quite
possible that we will be telling the
next generation the same thing
that man is sucker to get ex-
cited about the bout between One
Round Hazeldean and Elmer Shrimp
because it does not compare with
the great, golden age of Ambers VS..
Armstrong, and that he never lived
unless he saw that little colored
man and that little Eyetalian in the
same ring together.
The fact is that two good fight
ers, we'll paired, always will make a
great fight, and Armstrong and Am
bers between them control at least
as much talent as Cans and Nelson.
Their names are too young yet to
have the cobwebbed glamour of
Cans and Nelson's, but little time
and little mildeW and a few years
of saloon gossip will fix that.

BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON,

They're mixing baseball with their
vegetables at Arcade Market this
season, booming sports as well as
business, and the results have been
most gratifying. Each and every
purchase now includes a bit of in
side diamond strategy tossed in for
good measure, and the old query Of
How much are lima beans today?"
has been expanded to include, And
how is the team doing?"
Arcade Market, which plays
Wade's Auto Service tomorrow in a
crucial National City League game,
caused a furore last Sunday by
humbling the previously undefeated
Service Battery nine, 80, and in
traditional HawKshaw style we set
ourselves to tracking down the man
behind those big guns.
He was armed with razor edged
cleaver and long, shiny knife, either
capable of splitting more than few
infinitives, and answered to the
name of Frank P. Milan, former big
Lacquer, cavalryman, and currently
butcher and sandlot pilot. Like a
good baseball fan he found time to
carry on the conversation while
carving thick, juicy steaks for Gus
toners, and humping out silver
tone high &c" on the cash register.
Victory No Fluke.
Don't let any one tell you that
victory over Service Battery was a
fluke," he warned, parting lone

team we have, and it's just begin

by the way, keep your eye on him.
because he's going places. Only II
years old, stands feet inches, and
he's got what it takes even if he
does need polish
Milan should know because it was
as a pitcher that he broke into
organized baseball. A crick in his
throwing arm, the result of trying
to play first base while not on the
mound, turned him from pitching to
a regular place in the lineup, and
his healthy stick average doomed
him to the pleasant existence of a
first baseman. He made the grade
with the Chicago Cubs, then man.

unfortunate slide snapped the bone
in his left ankle, and it's never been
the same since. He was showing

Dorothy Is Team Mascot.
Goodman, like Milan, is one OF
the teams most enthusiastic sup
porters, and will close up the stand
any old time to attend a game
His 13-year-old daughter Dorothy
is the teams most ardent fan, how
ever. She's been adopted as sort of
mascot-and loves it.
Milan was trying to tell us how
much the team had improved in the
last couple of weeks, how the addi-
ton of Don TreganoWan, Charley
Backera and Eli Blank had helped,
and how Tommy Bayer, its crack
centerfielder, was shagging flies like
an old trouper, and we were trying
to divorce him from some old base
ball memories. 1t was quite battle.
He broke in, we learned, with the
old Ingraham Church nine as a
pitcher, and admits to having
million n-dollar arm and 2-cent
technique. why if it hadn't been
for the Atlanta trainer Inever would
have made the big show" he ad-
mitted. After he'd seen me play
first couple of times, he advised
me to quit pitching and stick close
to the bag, and I did"
There is story behind that little
episode, and it seems that the day
Milan was supposed to pitch he
would develop a bad pain in his
arm until time for infield practice.
then he'd step out and take his
place on the field. 1t happened
several times until the manager
got wise. He made a casual inquiry
about the arm, noting it hadn't
felt right when Milan was told to
pitch, but had made a remarkable
recovery.
Boss it did hurt" agreed Frank,
"but that trainer really rubbed the
kinks out of it. 1t feels great now,
and to prove the point he snapped
throw to the plate so the trainer
rubbed it," grunted the manager.
He sure did" Milan grinned. well,
he must be some trainer" the man
ager admitted, Because he left for
Beaumont last night"

Then you realize that he is bring

art of boxing that can offset, and

Then Ambers becomes an artist
well worth the watching.
Armstrong won their last fight
cleanly enough, knocking the rub
Der man off his feet in the early
round and applying enough sheer
physical pressure to match, and
more than match, Amber's closing
rally. But the very fact of Ambers
making that closing rally, or taking
the play away from Armstrong at
the end and showing symptoms of
complete recovery, was something
new to Henry. He never may re-

self was the worse for wear. Briefly,
the combination of science and en-
durance came close in this case to
nullifying vitamins A to J, inclusive.
That makes their second fight,

Armstrong has been called the
greatest fighter in the world for
his weight, and here already he
has found his match, something
that never has happened yet to Joe

Arlington Classic Proves
You Cont Guess En-

Now Johnstown and Challedon
met again. this time in the Arling-
ton Classic at Arlington Park.
JohnstoWn's works for this race were
amazing. 1t didn't seem possible for
horse to run that fast. There was
no doubt big John would win.
Challedon? Well, Challedon
might beat him again if the track
was muddy. But on a fast track the
only question concerned the time.
What happened was a perfect ex-
ample of the uncertainty of horse
racing under the very best condl-
tions. The track was fast and
Johnstown was perfectly trained.
But Challedon won.
The answer? Apparently there
isn't any, except, perhaps, that
horses are living things and not
machines and can do more one day
than they can another-even as you
and I.

Heavy Going Not So Good
For ChoIIedon

A few weeks later Johnstown-
having beaten Challedon in the
Derby and lost to him in the Freak
ness-hooked up with him again in
the DWyer Stakes at Aqueduct. This
time the track was fast and Johns
town romped home easily, with
Challedon, which had attempted to
outrun him from the start, finishing
out of the money.
This seemed to have established
very definitely the rating of the
colts. Nothing could beat Johns
town on fast track and nothing
JohnstoWn included-could cope
with Challedon in the mud.
Meanwhile, Fighting Fox, which,
after such great promise as
3-year-old last year, had been a
rank in and outer, was shipped to
Suffolk Downs for the Massachu-
setts Handicap. Challedon was en-
tered in that race and when 1t
came up mud on the Downs, the
crowd rushed to bet on Challedon.
But the Fox tore out and beat
Challedon and everything else in
the race, winning by five lengths.

To Lose Horse Race
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, July 20 (N.A.NA)-
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, author Of
dissertation on so ways in which
horse can lose a race in which
everything-weight, distance, train
ing, company and jockey are in his
favor-has had some bewildering
experiences with form during the
current campaign.
Fltz has been around too long to
be surprised at anything that hap
pens, and he learned long ago to
take the blows of an adverse fate
with the smile for which he is IA
nous. But the things-good and
bad-that have happened to him
should contain at least the germ of
a warning for those who think that
beating the races is any part of a
cinch.
Remember that there isn't a better
trainer in the world than Sunny
Jim-that there aren't any better
bred horses anywhere than those
in the Belair and Wheatley barns
that every horse is sent out to win
and Is ridden by the best Jockeys
that the Woodward and Phipps

Remember, in other words, that
these horses and those against which
they race represent the top rank

horses running in honest races for

A week later JohnstoWn was at

But dawn brought rain, and the
track was heavy with mud when the
