BY HARR- CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Aug. 26.-Chances are against the CircinnatiS getting up in the run down the stretch, but the Reds will bow out like the cham pions they again have proved them selves.
 Not the least pleasing thing about the Rhinelanders' comeback Is that William Boyd McKechnie is no longer talking to himself or occupy ing park benches at night. Deacon Bill becomes 8 strange and lonely man when his club is lcsing.
 At the moment, Manager Me Kechnie is more optimistic than he has been since the opening shot was fired and his proud rulers went into a tailspin to drop like 8 broken air. plane.
 McKechnie still believes the Cros- leys have a 1ook-in, though he ad- mits things would be vastly brighter had they only one club to catch in place of the Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals.
 McKechnie points out that his noble athletes have played 6 little better than the leaders since Memo rial Day when they found them selves trailing by a dozen games.
 Yet, coming into New York this trip, the Reds had picked up no more than two and half games.
 As McKechnie points out, they havenS been given too much help by the other outfits.
 McKechnie hoped Pittsburgh would belt the BrooklynS around in their recent four-game stand ct EbbetS Field, but the Pirates re- mained cold when they should have been hottest and the Dodgers swept the set.
 The Reds can't gain that way.
 McKechnie dislikeS to see all the pitching he is getting go to waste an third place.
 Johnny Wander Nicer yielded four runs in five games. Elmer Riddle continues to show that he is 6 heap more than flash in the pan. Bucky Walters gave up 36 hits in three games, but is winning. The Braves didn't get a man to second base in the last eight innings against Jim Turner.

WELTERWEIGHTS FIGHT SHOW THURSDAY
Villa Expected to Give DOlan Trouble; King
 vs. Dulmaine Natural

At least six nationalities, but all Americans with one exception. and every one weighing between 138 and 148 pounds, which encompasses the welterweight division, are listed for leather duty at Randolph Cloves Stadium Thursday night on five bout all-professional ring program headed by the clever Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury and the Mexi- can Hard Rock, Manuel Villi I; conqueror of Ernie (Cat) Robinson and Benny Montabana and owner of part of draw decision against Carl Dell of Oneonta, N. Y
 Dolan recently defeated Andre JeSserun at New Bedford, after hav- ing taken care of Saverio Turiello of Italy, though Villa will be a much tougher nut to crack as his local performances clearly indicate. In defeating the classy Montabana. Villa had to come from behind a big lead of points piled up by his shifty, able opponent who landed three for one in the punch depart ment during the first five rounds.
 We'll Paired
 Of three six rounderS signed for the under -card of the Dolan Villa show, the one featuring Clarence (Cotton) King of West Palm Beach, one round knockout winner here two weeks ago and Leo Dulmaine of Worcester a one-round kayo winner at Manchester last week Thursday ought to be the most promising as both boys are very fast, and hit exceptionally hard for 138 pounders. King will be favored by Dulmaine is far from a soft touch" for the Florida Flash.
 Freddie Lewis of Wilkes-B Barre and Tom Collins of Waterbury have been promoted" to a six round bout, because of their recent pleas ing performances, Lewis against Billy Brown and Collins against Joe Cans of Willimantic on the last local card.
 Remember Emf
 Two other known quantities, Mel Miller of Wilkes-Barre and Benny Cartegena, a New York favorite of Buckingham Hall fans for the past two years are paired in a six round- CT that ought to produce some seri- ous slugging and perhaps a kayo as Benjamin hits very, very hard. Art Tatta of New Haven and Pete Con- varis of New York, garrulcus Greek are to open the show in 8 four rounder that may get the pro- gram oil to a flying start that will please even the faStidious Cowboy Healey who will. undoubtedly, be among those present.

pions and what might be called mis- cellaneous champions. The Situ- ation on tonight's bout is that Lesnevich is recognized as NBA title holder and New York doesn't recog- nize anybody since Billy Conn va cated his title to war among the heavyweights and get pasted by J Louis. However, the New York commission has agreed that the winenr of the Lesnevich-Mauriellc bout shall be champion in this state too, and that means that for c couple of weeks at least the light heavyweight champion really will be champion.
 That is the chief virtue of the bout, for neither Lesnevich nor Mauriello is anything to excite the Marquis of Queensberry. Lesnevich is a plodder with a fair punch: Mauriello is a youngster without too much science to go along with his busy attack.
 Outside of the heavyweight ranks where Louis has convinced every body that he is the one and only champion by the simple process of licking everybody in sight, the rest of the boxing classifications are crammed with ersatz title holders
 For the middleweight cham pionship, for instance, you can take your choice between Tony Zale (NBA) and Billy Soose (New York
 In this state the lightweight champion is Lew Jenkinsof Sweet water, Texas, but the NBA is very fond of Sammy Angott of Louis vile and insists he is the one and only article.
 Obstinate
 Red Cochrane gets the nod in New York as welterweight cham pion and most of the NBA is will ing to go along with him. But not the sovereign state of Mary land. For some obscure reason Maryland wants a citizen named lay Janazzo to be welterweight champion and there is nothing the rest of the United States can do about it except to secede from Maryland.
 Among the featherweights Joey Archibald is king in New York, but once he steps outside the boun- diaries of this staet he is strictly a bum. The rest of the country likes a gent named Richie LemoS.
 Lou Salica is generally consid- cred to be bantam weight champ but there hasn't been enough activ- ity in that division to start an argument. Once it starts, there will be bantam weight champions all over the lot.
 And now you would like to know I suppose, why the boys don't do the sensible thing and stage bouts between the various title holders and get a genuine champion for each division. So would I, and if you hear anything let me know please.

necessary by his being struck by a line drive during spring training.
 The McCormicks and Eddie Joost are hitting and Ernie Lombardi IS coming through when it counts.
 Catcher Lombardi made a 400-foot single at Braves Field. Schnozzle was three strides from first base when the ball bounced of the top of the center field wall, and Johnny Cooney played the rebound well as usual.
 With a little speed. the numbering Italian easily could have been 400 hitter in his big batting years-1935 through '38.
 The Reds kept plugging .. hung on when everybody counted them out. Unlike the Cleveland customers, the good citizens of Cincinnati stuck with them.
 The Reds probably will step down from the throne, but they will have the satisfaction of having further demonstrated that truly cham pionship club came down in front the past two years.

WEAKENED GOLF STAR STARTLES Q M AHA FIELD
Alexander Shoots 67, Five Below Par, to Lead Na-
 tiOnal Amateur
BY JOSEPH F. HEARST United Press Staff COrrespOndent)


 Field Club, Omaha, Neb., Aug. 26. (UP)-Stewart (Skip) Alexander. a tall, drawing. deliberate golfer from Burlington, N. C., was the man to catch today as IA contestants started the second, 18-hole qualify ing round of the national amateur tournament.
 Alexander's eyes are SO bad that he was deferred in the draft, but yesterday he took the tough field club course apart with 8 67-five under par.
 A stroke behind was John P. Burke of Chicago, former George town University star who won the national intercollegiate title in 1888 and lost to Dick Chapman, the de- lending champion in the national quarter final last year.
 The rest of the field was five or more strokes back of Alexander in the scramble for medalist honors and a place among the low 65 scor- CTS who tomorrow will start match play.
 Vines Goes We'll
 At 72, par for the 6,746 yard lay- out, were Otto Greiner, of Towson, Md, Ted Bishop, the New England champion, of Auburndale, Mass, and Ellsworth Vines of San Gabriel, Cal.
 Vines, who is becoming almost as proficient with mashie as he used to be with tennis racquet, shot a 37-35 round.
 A stroke of par for Johnny Good man of Omaha, Marvin (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash, and Glenn Oat- man of Kansas City, Mo. Goodman and Ward are former national champions.
 Chapman, now an athletic in- structor at Mexwell Field, Ala, was seven strokes behind the leader with "A. Sharing the spot with him were Mario Gonzalez of San Paulo Brazil, Rodney Bliss of Omaha. Bob Cochran of Normandy, Mo, the Missouri champion, and Ed Mcclure of Shreveport, La. The others were strung out behind, with the other two former champions, Johnny Fischer of Fort Thomas, Ky, and Charles Evans of Chicago at 78 and 84, respectively.
 Predictions were that 8 score oi 1853 or 156 would be needed to qualify.
 Alexander, however, wasn't wor- ried about the qualifying limit, or, apparently. anything else. He was nerveless yesterday as he rambled around the course and equaled the tournament record for first day scoring set at Merion, Pa, in 1924, by D. Clarke NCorkran of Philadel- phia. Cochran. incidentally, scared to a T5 the next day and lost to Bobby Jopes in the third round.
