Kovacs and GILLESPIE
Seeking Net Fame by
Different Routes
Californian Follows Turf
With Atluntun on Clay
Court TroiI Upward
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Two tall
young fellows who would like to
see their names opposite that al"
in the national tennis rankings, and
who stand better than good chances,
are taking different roads toward
the same objective.
The two are Frank Kovacs of
Oakland, Calf, who already has
won considerable national recogni-
ton, and Billy Gillespie of Atlanta
and the University of Miami.
KovacS was ranked tenth ma
tionally two years ago, but he suf-
fered from a lame arm last season,
played very little and didn't earn a
national ranking. He made his first
big 1910 bid last week in the Nassau
Country Club invitation grass court
tourney and won trophy that has
been held by such illustrious fig
ures as Bill Tilden and Bobby Riggs.
Before that he had played in the
East-West matches at Sewickley
Pa. and taken a couple of drub-
bings.
He's following the turf court trail.
playing this week in the gold racquet
tourney at North Conway, N. H.
Last week the fans were compar-
ing Kovacs to Tilden and Don
Bulge He resembles them in at
least one respect. He's tall and
lanky and can hit the ball with
devastating force, especially off the
backhand. He beat two first-10
players, Gil Hunt and Elwood Cooke,
and former Davis Cup player, Joe
Hunt, in the Nassau tourney
Cookies comment after watching
Franks cross-court backhand shots
whiz by him in the final was, Il
knew all about that shot: I was
ready for it-but what can you do
about it?"
The Californian's great faults are
unsteadiness and lack of a we'll
rounded game. He's inclined to get
his feet mixed up and his shots
tangled when he meets some one
who can handle his power.
Gillespie is taking more modest
route by way of the clay courts.
He got off in front in the New York
State championships and was the
first to reach the round of Is. Billy
used to play for Scarborough School
near here and usually lost to Marvin
Kantrowitz of Dewitt Clinton High
Sunday his third round opponent
was Kantrowitz, now of Lehigh, and
Gillespie won in three tough sets.
Billy is somewhat bigger and a lot
better than he was in his schoolboy
days.
Right now he seems headed for a
match with top-seeded Don McNeill
of Oklahoma City, who didn't reach
the tourney until yesterday and
then caught up by means of a con-
venient default and couple of easy
victories. Billy probably will lose
that match, but he has chance to
show how good he is. And if you'll
look back few years you may re-
call that it was in the New York
State clay court tourney that a
youngster from Kenyon College by
the name of Don McNeill got fly
ing start on the road to fame. Don
holds the national clay courts and
intercollegiate titles now and still is
moving up. Gillespie may be the
one to follow in his footsteps.

balsamo Tonight
In 10-Rounder
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, July 9.-Ken Overlin,
recently crowned middleweight
champion, fights Harry Balsamo of
New York tonight in a 10-round
non-title match at Queensboro
Stadium.
Overlin is 1-to-2 favorite, but
even if he wins as easily as those
odds indicate it won't mean much
to him except what he can pick up
as his share of the gate. Several
years ago Balsamo was rated as
bright prospect in the middleweight
division because Of his punching
power, but his ring skill didn't
match up to his punch. When he
was sent up against a few ex-
perienced campaigners he promptly
was dropped out of the picture.
The erstwhile Betting Brakeman"
has been making comeback recent
ly as light heavyweight and now
boasts a record of 43 knockouts in
so fights. If he can conquer Overlin,
he may be in line for a shot at IT'S
pound Champion Billy Conn next
fall. Overlin, however, figures to be
too fast and clever.

Seventh Win in Row
Pitched by White,
Prize Bison Rook
Score Over Rochester
One Of HoI's Best Since
Streak Begon June 7
. BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
TI.a Buffalo Bisons are looming
as a permanent fixture in the Inter-
national Leagues second division
this season, but once more they
have come up with the circuit s
rookie sensation.
Last season they had Ray Mack
and Lou Boudreau, two of the prin-
cipal reasons why the Cleveland
Indians now are in the thick of
the American League pennant fight
And the recall of those two by the
Indians was one good explanation
Of how the Herd happened to finish
third and get knocked out of the
playoffs in the first round.
In Streak for Month.
This year the Bison hero is 81
year-old Hal White, a right-handed
pitcher who wasn't even considered
as possible starter when the season
began. He never was used for more
than an inning or two in relief
roles until June 7.
Then he relieved Lee in the second
inning and pitched creditably to get
a decision over Baltimore. That gave
Manager Steve O'Neill the idea OF
letting the youngster start, and
since then Hal hasn't been beaten
or knocked out of the box in six
games.
Stars Against Rochester. .
Whites seventh straight victory
was Shit, Al triumph over the
league-leading Rochester Red Wings
last night. 1t was his best per-
formance yet with the exception of
a 2-hit shutout against Syracuse
June 25.
The youngster famed seven and
didn't issue a walk until the ninth
In addition he fielded brilliantly and
helped his cause along with a
double.

Boxing Fix Charges
By Thomas Tossed
Into Discard
Illinois Ring Body Gets
No GoIento, SchmeIine
Frume-Up Evidence
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. July 9.-The Illinois
State Athletic Commission has de-
cided that fixed fight" charges in
volving Heavyweights Max Schmel-
ing, Tony Galento and Harry
Thomas were mot substantiated" by
its eight-month investigation of the
case.
The commission, in voluminous
report issued yesterday, said its in
quiry failed to uncover evidence to
back up the charges attributed to
Thomas that the outcome of his
fights with the other two boxers was
prearranged.
The Chicago Tribune last October
80 quoted Thomas as saying both
fights were fixed" Thomas lost to
Schmeling December 13, 1887. in
New York on technical knockout
in the eighth round. Galento de-
feated Thomas November a. 1888,
in Philadelphia on technical
knockout in the third round. The
Tribune story was written by Arch
Ward. sports editor.
No Testimony by Thomas.
The commission said Thomas "has
remained absolutely silent" since the
story appeared. the fighter declining
to appear before the commission or
give a written statement of the
charges The commission stated
further that Thomas refused to
testify before the New York Boxing
Commission on the grounds that
his evidence might incriminate him
Ward testified before the commits
sion that the outcome of the
Thomas -Schmeling fight was pre-
arranged in a Chicago hotel, and
that Thomas had told him he agreed
to lose because he had a chance to
make more money by that pro-
cedure.
Promoter Mike Jacobs of New
York wrote the commission that
there were no irregularities in the
Thomas -Schmeling fight. Arthur
Donovan, referee of this bout, was
quoted by the commission as saying
the fight was stopped because
Thomas was in no condition to con-
tinue.
Managers Denied Charges.
Promoter Herman Taylor of Phila-
delphia told the commission that he
thought Thomas made an honest
effort in his fight with Galento,
but was outclassed.
The late Joe Jacobs, manager of
Galento and Schmeling, denied the
charges, as did Galento and Nate
Lewis, Thomas manager.

Tompo Setback Hos A. L.
Burning for REVENGE

The game at Tampa, which had
no official status, may have bear
ing on today's contest. The Amer
lean League was picked to win
again, but cracked at the seams and
the National League wound up in
front. So if it is revenge the Ameri-
can League wants today, it has its
source in Tampa.
Actually, of course, the All-Star
game proves nothing except that on
a given day one team musters the
better team and gets the breaks.
But it is hard to tell that to the
fans who, fortunately for baseball,
are lined up strongly behind one
league or the other.
I discovered some time ago that
the attitude of the fans is reflected
in that of the club owners and
league officials. This was obvious
even in the off -the-record game at
Tampa. The night before the game
the American Leaguers were almost
arrogant in their assumption of vic
tory on the morrow and the Ma
tional Leaguers we're quiet-grimly
quiet. But after the game the Ma
tional Leaguers celebrated jubilantly
and, for the most part, the Ameri-
can Leaguers kept out of sight.
So they go again, with Bill Nc
kechnie leading the National League
team and Joe Cronin the American.

The
SPORTLIGHT
Tilt of Aces No Play
To Bitter Rivals
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

NEW YORK, July (NA.NA).-
The count-not including the un-
official combat for the Finnish re-
lief at Tampa in the spring-is five
games to two in favor of the Ameri-
can League as another All-Star game
looms in st. Louis today. And
If you don't think the edge in favor
of the American League CRATES on
the National, you do not know the
attitude of the leagues on this game.
1t was to be, originally, sjust
one-day show by the best ballplayers
in both leagues, with the INDECENT
players of the past reaping the har-
vest at the turnStileS, but that was
all changed with the playing of the
first game.
The change came about when the
American League team won and
partisans of that league claimed that
the outcome of the game, added to
the fact that the younger league
had won six of the nine preceding
World Series, definitely proved
where the balance of power lay.
Right there the game ceased to be
q mere show and became contest
The rivalry deepened-and the re-
examinations took on a deeper color
as the American League won in
1884 and 1885. The National League
broke through for the first time in
1886. The American League won in
two of the last three games.
