ROdanO at Hartford To- night for Return Bout;
 May Be Record Crowd

Hartford, Aug. 5.-Bobby Ivy will win over Angelo Rodano of New Haven here tonight at the Bulkley stadium and possibly by a knockout in five rounds or less.
 That Is the bold prediction of his trainer Lennie Marello, made after the local featherweight went through his final paceS att he Char ter Oak gymnasium here yester- day.
 In splendid condition and eager to atone for the defeat he sus- tained at the hands of the New Haven lightweight some weeks ago at the New Haven Arena, Ivy stepped two fast rounds with Carl Red Guggino and two more with the faster Mickey Williams.
 Title Bout Ahead?
 In what will probably be his last appearance before he goes into the ring with the winner of the Chalky WrIght-Joey Archibald match for the featherweight championship, Bobby means to leave no stone un- turned. He wants revenge for the pad decision given him by referee Jim Peters at New Haven and he also wants to go against the next teatherweight champion with no further black marks. He will loos- en up lightly today and at weigh mg-ln expects to hit the beams around 13O.

CARDINAL ERNIE. WHITE SEEMS TO. BE SENSATIONAL.
Has Won 6 Games in I3 days for Leaders; Tanks
 lz Up; Fox Beats As
By PAUL sCHEFFELs

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 5.--UP)-It has been a long time since a great sotlthpaw pitcher wore the uniform of the St. Louis Cardinals but today the leAgue-leading Red Birds have a M-year-old mound star = Ernie White by name-who bears the dis tinct impress of greatness.
 White is playing his first full sea- son in the major leagues but already his freball has carried him into three-way struggle with veteran Lon Warneke and another freshman, righthander Howie Krist, for club pitching honors, and within a whiSker of leading the National league pitchers in the victory vol- un1T1.
 'Iron Man" Ernie, so-called be- cause he's won six games in the last 13 days during which he has alternated as bull-pen buffer and a regular starter, won his 18th vic- tory of the season yesterday when he pitched the Cardinals to Az triumph over the Chicago Cubs. Only Krist, who has yet to lose game and has won nine, is ahead of White in the league percentage tables.
 Won 10 of IA
 Sixth-place Chicago garnered only seven hits from White as he ran his record to 10 victories in IA starts this year and seven straight. He has been defeated only three times twice in starting roles.
 Johnny Hopp and Jimmy Brown collected two hits apiece to pace the Cards at the plate. Four singles, @ walk and an error by Lou Stringer gave the Cards all their runs in the third of Paul Erickson, enough to win their fourth straight game and keep them at the head of the league by l 1-2 games.
 Brooklyn, minus Peter Reiser, the leagues leading hitter, put together 8 14-hit attack and trounced the New York Giants, 11-6, in a night. game before 28,637 at Ehbets Field. Seven pitchers, four of them Giants, paraded to the mount in the 22-hit slugfest.
 The Dodgers blew four-run lead in the seventh when Ken ODea cluded his second homer of the year with the bases full to tie the score at 6-an but Brooklyn blasted ahead to stay with five runs in their half. Curt Davis, who went in in the sev- enth for Brooklyn, registered his seventh victory.
 Reiser. leading the league with .S40 average, went to a local hospital with axa attack of Sciatica and will be out of action for about three days.
 Reds Stopped
 Pittsburgh made it IS victories in 18 starts by polishing of the Cin- cinnati Reds, Al. Johnny Lanning fashioned 8 three-hitter for his fourth straight and seventh win of the year. The Pirates, led by Hand- ley, Vaughan and DiMaggio who each collected two hits, garnered eight safetieS.
 The New York Yankees connected for four triples among eight hits to down the Washington Senators, 7-5. and increase their American league lead to F games. With two out in the seventh the Yankees won the game when Joe DiMaggio tripled and scored on Joe Gordon's bunt. Buddy Rosar then tripled Gordon across. Steve Peek, and Johnny Murphy, limited the Senators to eight hits.
 Jimmy Foxx's 18th homer of the year gave the Boston Red Sox a 7-6 triumph over the Philadelphia Ath- letics. Foxx had been bedded with a touch of flu.

*
Bv LAO. .STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 - When President Roosevelt on January 20 rolls up Pennsylvania avenue from 1900, which is the White House, to naught-naught, which is the eapi- tol. he'll be making history. He'll be the first man ever to take that ride for the same purpose a third time But it'll be just another item in the inaugural history books, for ln- auguration day has been putting interesting items into the record from the very first.
 When George Washington took the ride the first time, his Pennsyl- vania avenue was a twisted ribbon of mud from Mount Vernon to the old Federal hall in New York City It took seven wearisome days to make the journey. His inauguration was weeks late It was April 30 before those in charge got around to the business in hand and the oath was administered by R. R. Livingston, chancellor of the city of New York.
 The President then went to the
