Baer who wanted to be photographed with one of the HurricaretteS who was strolling the premises in grass costume. The flashlights popped and picture of Maxie and the Hurri- canette was imprisoned for pos- terity.
 StandOff
 Then the eating began. Comiskey seemed to have shade on the soup and salad courses, but Baer staged great rally on the entree. The des- sert course seemed to be fairly even Throughout the repast both boys flashed nice left jabs with their forks and crossed neatly with their knives So call it draw and stand by for what happens next.
 Up gets Promoter Kearns to make a speech. This will be great fight. he said. He said it again. And again. The cheering was terrific All the details seemed closed.
 But wait! Slowly to his feet gets Ancil Hoffman, no mean speech maker himself.
 T have heard lots of nice talk here," he said, but I haven't seen no money"
 Commentator had reared its ugly head in the midst of this brilliant social function. In plain words, Hoff- man wanted the 30,000 bucks that Kearns had guaranteed Baer. He wanted it right now, while the tooth- picks still were being passed.
 The count of Monte Cristo could not have made a more courtly ges- ture than Kearns unleased when he stepped over and handed Hoffman slip of paper. It was check for $30,
 Hoffman gazed at 1t with & de- tached expression on his face. He gazed at it long time and then he spoke:
 Cash"
 What's the matter" inquired Abe Green, New Jersey boxing com- missioner, don't you think the checks any good?"
 Cash" said Hoffman.
 Kearns took back the check, reached into his pocket and came out with roll as big as a baseball bat.
 "One, two, three, four ."
 An angelic light came over MT. Hoffman's face as he watched the green stuff fall, futter and lie flat in front of him.

New York, Sept. 5-(UP)-"Twenty- five, twenty-six ,twenty-seven," said Jack Kearns, plunking the $1,0oO bills down one by one, "twenty-eight twenty-nine, thirty"
 "Bingo!" shouted an awe-stricken spectator.
 Ancil Hoffman, pilot of that storm tossed pugilistic ship named Max Baer, looked at the mess of green stuff in front of him and said: "Okay."
 So the fights on-the one between Baer andi Pat Comiskey, a killer diller puncher from Paterson, N. J It will be Is rounds on September 26 inethe Jersey City baseball park But the fact 1sIAt they're going to fight is unimportant compared to what happened before, during and after Kearns laid the lettuce in front of Hoffman.
 It easily was the high point of the social season in leatherf1st lane. The boys were tastefully attired in cauli- flower ears and broken noses. The official signing took place in Broad way night club called The Hurri- cane and Promoter Kearns invoked the aid of Bacchus, god of wine, tc get the festivities pitched to the proper plane. Viands were spread on long tables and despite the lack of place cards the boys found their seats with a minimum of confusion

RECORD CROWD MAY SEE SHOW; CARLO vS. SAL GianeIli, Local Gridder to Make Debut-Craig
 Meets Young
(BY HUGO HooKJAB)

From a careful analysis of the general ability and punching power of the ten boys who will make up tonight's fistic entertainment at Randolph Gloves stadium, there is every indication that knockouts will be the order of the evening from start to finish of the five bout pro- gram sponsored by the Waterbury A. c.
 Charley Eagle, Waterbury light weight will be favorite to defeat Larry Lovett of Florida in the eight round main bout, but only because of Eagles experience against classy opposition, for the burly negro is said to be more than able to match Eagle when 1t comes to hard-hit- ting. Both boys are in rare form for their fight, which in conjunc- tion with the Tommy Ciarlo-Kid Sal six round semi-final has at- tracted fans from Hartford and Meriden as well as unusually high interest, with record outdoor crowd highly probable under favor able weather conditions.
 Lovett's ring work against Eld- ridge Eatman, the Norwalk negro whom he defeated and Nathan Mann, who stopped Larry in the final round, stamps him as a worthy foe for Eagle in the opinion of the matchmakers. Eagle has not boxed since his bout with Bob Pastor in Buffalo several weeks ago, but has kept himself in light training until ten days ago when he worked hard and is now reported to be in rare form after week of gym work in New York.
 Pep Has It
 Another lad likely to take the fans fancy tonight is Willie Pep of Hartford, former state bantam champ, now a featherweight who is paired with Joey Marcus of Wind sor Locks in six round go.
 Little need be said about the fistic fireworks sure to be set off when Tommy Ciarlo and Kid Sal start swinging the leather, which will be in the first minute of the first round. Sal has won 2l bouts without a loss, many by knockouts while Ciarlo has 8 fine chance to get himself some important work in the future if he can outpoint or outpunch the Meriden buzz-saw. Ciarlo is rated better boxer and can hit hard, combination which may be enough to make him a win ner.
 
 Ohio's First Fight
 Considerable local interest has also been worked up in the four round professional start of Ohio" Gianelli, Town Plot footballer, who looks like promising heavyweight, according % his training moves. He is matched with the Stamford slugger, Al Uva, in a bout which might see a knockout recorded either way as early as the second round.
 With most favorable promise from the Weather Man at noon to- day. the Waterbury A. c. may have to dust off the s. R. O. sign right after o'clock, as there is tremen- dous statewide interest in the en- tire program.

BOSTON RED SOX
 BUY NEW SHORTSTOP

Boston, Sept. 5.-(UP)-The Bos- ton Red Sox today announced pur- chase for spring delivery of short stop Lamar (Skeeter) Newsome of the Baltimore Orioles (International league) in exchange for two players and an unnamed cash sum.
 Shortstop Hal Selling of the Bos- ton clubs Little Rock farm team be- comes the property of Baltimore. The other player, to be named la ter, will be sent to Baltimore on option.
 The 28-year old Newsome, g classy fielder but light hitter, played three seasons with the Philadelphia Ath- letics. In the fall of 1887 he suf- fered a fractured skull when struck by a pitched ball. The following spring while training with the As at Portsmouth, Va, he again was hit on the head by 8 ball and was sidelined most of the season.
 Wearing head guard, he bat ted a mere .222 for Baltimore last year. He abandoned the protective device this season and has hit .26o. His 135 hits include 36 doubles.

Sarah Palfrey Makes Bid For National Title
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Forest Hills, N. r., September 5- UP)-A noble experiment gets the acid test today when pretty little Sarah Palfrey makes he bid for place in the quarter-finals of the National singles tennis champion ships.
 Sarah is 27 now and there are not many years left in which to keep that promise she made to her. self 12 years ago on the day she won the national girls title. The black haired little beauty vowed she wouldn't stop until she was cham pion of the grown-ups, too.
 But those were the years when the battle of the HelenS - Wills and Jacobs-blacked out the tennis picture for the other girls. When they faded, Alice Marble picked up in i936. Sarah came close once, going to the national women's final against Miss Jacobs in 1884, but since then most of her honors have come in doubles where her stout defensive game was the perfect complement for Marbles forcing strokes.
 New Style
 When she faces Mary Hardwick of England, who heads the foreign seedlings, in the opening match at the West Side Tennis Club Stadium this afternoon, the spectators may be surprised to see that Sarah no longer is defensive player. Within the last eight months, she has for gotten every defensive stroke she ever knew. She applies the forcing strokes taught her by Tom Stow. the University of California coach who instructed Don Budge.
 If Miss Palfrey. gets by Miss Hardwick, who was the second rank ing player in England before the war started, Stow thinks she will go to the finals to lick Miss Marble and keep that promise she made to herself a dozen years ago.
 In the mems play. attention was focused on 19-year-old Jack Kramer of Montebello, Calif, who with Ted Schroeder, won the national doubles title two weeks ago. Kramer plays his first seeded opponent, Henry Prusoff of Seattle, No. on the list.
 Defending Champion Bobby Riggs does not figure to have too much trouble with Hal Surface of Kan- sas City.
 Miss Marble tackles Ritz Jarvis of England in the other stadium match and it should be a breeze for the defending champion. On the grandstand court, second-seed- ed Don McNeil opens against Harris Everett, the Jacksonville, Fla, boy who upset Welby Van Horn, final ist last year. and then will be fol- lowed by Bryan Grant of Atlanta vs. Ted Schroeder; Frank Kovacs vs. Charles Mattman and Helen Bernhard vs. Margaret Osborne.

I of if all amateur luminaries were permitted to write instructive mat ter?
 And what right has a player, out standing enough to make a success of such illustrations and writing, to compete against amateurs?
 Amateurs-Chick Evns, Bobby Jones, Mrs. Glenn Collett aVre and Lawson Little among them-have written and posed for stuff of an instructive nature before, but not since the current rule interpretation was decided upon in 1935.
 What went on in the past does not clear the way for Terrier now.
 Terrier, travelling 11,00O miles at ms own expense, arrived in this country in February, and has been playing golf ever since. He has been the Australian Open and Amateur ! champion two years hand running :. hasn't been above 75 in his na- tive land in five years.

His being barred from the Na- tional Amateur on the eve of the qualifying trial in August because of a book he wrote in January may be "shyme," as James Terrier, the Australian, says, but I agree with the United States Golf Association an it's refusal to permit alleged simon-pureS from jimmying in on the professionals.
 Jim Terriers publishing of an in- structive book, and accepting royal ties, is tantamount to his giving a long series of lessons at $5 or $5 @ pop.
 Terrier was permitted to play in the United States Open in June as an amateur, but his book was not brought to the attention of the amateur status and conduct com mittee until shortly before it acted.

8 GAMES OF FA.L.LEADERS
 MAY WIN FLAG
Cleveland and Detroit Are Three Games Apart;
 Rowe Beats Teller
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Limited Press Staff COrreSDOndant

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Sept. 5-(UP)-Cleve- land pennant stock took sharp dip today after the Tribes renowned Bob Teller had his ears pinned back by the Tigers.
 Teller, who hasn't pitched a real- ly outstanding game in a month, was given a terrific lacing yesterday by the Tigers who emerged from a 4-game losing streak and beat the Indians, 7-2. The triumph over the legaue-leaders enabled Detroit to regain second place as the Yankees fell before the Senators, 6-5. The Indians lead is now 3 games.
 Cleveland has lost three straight and 2 out fo its last II. This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for Feller's unimpressive pitching. Only since Aug. 4 whe nhe let the Tanks down with five hits an dbeat them, 3-1, has Teller looked overpowering. That was against the Tanks on Aug. 24 when he held thim hitless for seven innings. But the strain of that performance tol don bullet Bob and in the end the Tanks blasted him to defeat in the last two in- ningS, 3-2.
 All season long the Indians have cuffed the Tigers around, winning 8 out of 13 from them. But yester- day the Tiger turned and barred his claws. The series now stands: h. dians 8, Tigers 6, games to play. ThAqn ainht e Tfyon AnNi@o the pennant. If either team can dominate those, remaining eight games, then that club is likely to bring home the bacon.
 Strange Luck
 The Tanks struck snag in Wash ington, losing to Joe Krakauskas, the Lithuanian lefthander who hadn't won a game all season. AL though he gave up ten hits, Kra- kauskas pulled through to 6-5 victroy. The defeat dropped the Tanks back to third place.
 The Boston Red Sox won two ex- tr ainnings games from the Ath- letics, 6-5 (10 innings) and 5-4 11 innings) to hang on the outer rim of the contenders, 5h games off the pace.
 Bob Harris pitched the Browns to a Al victory over the White Sox. Johnny Berardino had 8 perfect da at bat, 8 for B."
 Cincinnati remained eight games in front of the National League pack after scoring a Thinning, 3-2 victory over the pirates before g. night crowd of 30,543.
 Luke Hamlin won his ninth vic- tory as he pitched the Dodgers to a 80 triumph over the Phils. Ham, lin stopped the Phils with eight hits before Shihe park night crowd of 18031, largest Lome crowd to watch the PhilS in two years. >
 The Cards took over third place from Pittsburgh by handing the Cubs their ninth loss i nil games, Az before 16,197 fans. Three errors byb the Cubs and nine hits off Claude Passeau won the game for St. Louis.
 Boston blanked the Giants, 20, behind the five-hit pitching of Dick ErrickSon.
