CITY LEAGUERS l. ST ACE DOUBLE {. HEADER SUNDAY Hills, AvigIianese and North End TOfonlies to
 Play

With the baseball season gradu- ally drawing to a close local fol- levers of the sport will have an op- portunity to witness one of the sea- sons outstanding double headers Sunday afternoon at Hamilton park when the washington Hills, North End Thomas club and Avigilenese teams of the City Amateur league meet in a round robin with the winner to take the one hundred dol- lars that will be at stake.
 The three teams got together on Monday night and completed all ar- arrangements for the twin bill which will find the Hills meeting the Avigs at 3 o'clock and the winner of this tilt will then take on the Tom mics to decide the winner. The teams will use only players who were eligible to perform in the City league and no outside players will be used by any of the teams.
 After his stellar performance against the Brooklyns last Sunday, Winnie Carroll, star rl1oundsmen for the Hills may get the chance to do the iron man stuff and twirl a double header. Winnie has assured Jimmie Gladney, manager of the Hills that he has the stuff to knock off the Avigs and Tommies the same day and may get the chance to do so. The rest of the Hills lineup will include Bill Doyle, Paddy Quilter, Lefty McGrath, Al Damileo, Jackie Travers, Joe Quilter, Billy McCor- mick, Rub Ruffino, Steve Boroway, Paul Lafay and Bobby Sugrue pro- viding Bob can get away from his duties in the Coast Guard for the week end.
 The Avigs will depend on Angelo Basile to pitch them to win over the Hills and will also have Lo- Russo, Martinelli, Reno, Santoro, Coatta, Frankie Place, Romeo, Masi and Al Monti in their lineup.
 The Tommies will turn out to witt ness the first tilt and will then have the following players to send on the field to take on the win ner: Harp Sullivan, Jacovino, Ger ardi, Sugrue, Verno, Chestone, Ben- son, Cronin, Ray Chipman, Nowacki, Sodano, Senich and Carideo.
 Pat Slattery veteran City league umpire has been picked to umpire the twin bill.

Falco, Rosa Signed As Semi Final To Peralta : Roach Go

Interest in the Whistling Willie Roach Joey Peralta lightweight tussle Friday night at Randolph Cloves stadium is at a high pitch but a second eight-rounder ar ranged Tuesday is also expected to come in for it's share of the spot light.
 The second eight, which will re- place a previously announced bout between Matt Dougherty and Joey Silva, calls for Manuel Rosa, well recommended newcomer from Balti- more, to meet Tony Falco, Middle town 145-ponnd star.
 Rosa, rough, aggressive fighter, lost close decisions to Larney Moore and Sonny Horne and drew with Al Cortez and Johnny Finazzo. Manuel is said to be the best club fighter around Baltimore. Falco IS ranked right along with Willie Pep as one of the states best prospects and has lost only to Billy Murray.
 Roach, hitting harder than ever, scored decisive wins in his last two starts here and more than a few fans are picking him to upset Per alta Friday night. although the lat ter Is regarded as an outstanding contender for the lightweight title. Joey is tentatively booked to meet Sammy Angott in Detroit early in october but loss might jeopardize the shot.
 Beat the Champ
 Peralta has already given good accounts Of himself against Bobby Rufiin, whom he twice held to 6 draw; Bob Montgomery. Willie Joyce, Chester Rico and Chalky wright. Joe defeated chalky in wilkes Barre, Pa. on last Oct. 2,
 Other good wins for Peralta were those over Billy Davis. the Miners vile. Pa, klugger; Billy SpeaFy, tWostime c0nqueror of Harry Jeffrn {: caFmelo Fenoy, Ray Price, George ZengsFa and Baby BFeese.

me to put it over. And I'm very thankful"
 Forty Buck Tops"
 Jacobs announced immediately that prices for the afternoon bat tie would range between $3 and $40 the first time that tickets have been scaled to $40 since the sec ond -Schmeling bout in '38. Too, 1t will be the first time that heavyweight title tilt has been staged in the afternoon since Jack Dempsey retained his title against Tommy Gibbons at Shelby, Mont, July 4, 1923.
 Until yesterday, Jacobs had be- come more or less tired of even con- sidering the return Louis Conn bout. Previously he had emphas- ized that if the bout were to be put on. 1t should be staged before the world series opens, about Sept. 30.
 The return Louis-Conn bout was set for last June, but Conn broke his left hand in an informal work out with his father-in-law, Jimmy Smith, at Pittsburgh in May. Be- cause of the unfavorable publicity Conn received in that post -christen- ing brawl, and because Promoter Jacobs then tried to sell the army a third bout between Louis and Pas tor, the army turned thumbs down on another Louis fight.
 But" said Jacobs, "the door still was left open for return Louis- Conn bout, when Conn's hand had healed, because they had such a great fight last June 18."
 Bashful Billy
 Tn that brawl, Conn was winning, when he lost his head and tried to knock out Louis in the 18th round, only to be kayoed himself. Conn, stationed at Ft. Wadsworth on Staten Island, N. r., was in town yesterday when the army permission came through. He said:
 Every private in our forces will get big kick on Oct. l2 when I. a private, belt the daylights out of Corporal Louis"
 Louis, stationed at Ft Riley, Kans., will arrive in New York Fri day morning to begin training at Greenwood Lake, N. Y. Conn will begin training immediately at Jacobs, old este in Rumson, N. J. Conn says he now scales about 185 and will register about 179 against Louis, now reported to be 215, about 10 pounds above fighting weight.

UNDER S1,O0G REPORTED FROM .HASTY CLEANUP
Brooklyn A. C. Squad Ex, poets to Leave for TOur-
 ney Tomorrow

Last minute efforts by City Anna teur baseball league officials, "On To Youngstown" campaign chairman Harry x Cashin, and members of the Brooklyn Athletic Club, whose 1922 team is expected to enter the national amateur tournament at Youngstown, Ohio Saturday, were redoubled with the object of secur- ing enough money to make possible the contemplated trip to the tourna- ment, scheduled for starting at 1:40 p. m. tomorrow afternoon from the local railroad station.
 Frankly, because of the late fine ish of the league season, due to several rainy Sundays when sched- 1led games had to be postponed, the financial picture was quite dark at press hour today.
 A total of at least $1 800 Is needed to take care of fifteen man squad which Coach Eddie DiNapoN intends to take with him. Less than $l,000- $026.04 to be exact was reported late this morning, and with the squad needing to leave on schedule to- morrow; the first games in the NABF meet to be played Saturday, there was strong indication that league president Joseph D. Brophy and others might have to stay h. hind so that the needed amount can be realized as quickly as possible.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully, George F. Mulligan and publisher William I Pane head todav,s list of donors with $25 gifts to the league fund, which picked Up $239 since yester- days original $687 was reported.

KIMBROUGH PROBLEM
 FOR DETROIT'S LIONS

Detroit, Sept. 9-(UP)-The re- vitalized Detroit Lions of the Ma tional football legaue meet the western army all-star football squad tonight in University of Detroit stadium.
 Today Coach Bill Edwards of the Lions admitted the key to victory for his club would be in checking the devastating touchdown jaunts of Lieut.. John Kimbrough, Texas A. & Ms brilliant All-American fullback of 1889 and 40.
 It was Kimbrough's bruising line plunging and dazzling broken-field running that enabled the army team to defeat the professional Chicago Cardinals, 16-1O, at Denver, Colo, Sunday. Big John scored both army touchdowns, one of them on a 9- yard run after kickoff.

SCHMELING QUITS RING; HE'LL LOUIS!

Berlin, Sept. 9-(German broad cast recorded by United Press in New York)-Max Schmeling, former worlds heavyweight boxing cham pion and still European champion, has retired from the ring because of wounds received in action, his manager Max Machon told Trans ocean News Agency.
 Schmeling, German army para chutist, was wounded during the Crete campaign, and at the same tirae caught e. tropical disease.
 Schmeling won the world title in the United States in 1880 when Jack Sharkey was disqualified for hitting low. He lost it to Sharkey again two years later.
 Tn 1936", the transocean report said, "Schmeling made sensational comeback winning the champion ship from Joe Louis In 1888 he lost the title again to the same oppo- nent." (Braddock, not Louis, was champion at the time of the first Schmeling-L Louis fight; Schmeling did not regain the title.)

(Unssed Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 9.-(UP)-The gentlemen in the War Department have given the green light to one last world heavyweight title fight in the U. s. A., for the combined benefit of home morale and army emergency relief-a return bout be- tween Champion Joe Louis and Challenger Billy Conn. But, regard less of the winner, the next heavy title tilt will be staged in Northern Ireland, in France-or even in Ger rnany-for the benefit of our over seas army.
 When the War Department an- nounced that Corporal Joe Louis would defend his laurels against Private Billy Conn at Yankee Sta- dium on the afternoon of Columbus Day, Oct. 12, Promoter Mike Jacobs said:
 'They have selected me to put over this fight. I hope it's success full, because in mid-October I join the War Department as a civilian consultant and will fly to another front to stage the next heavy title bout"
 Does this mean that Uncle Mike will give up his fistic promotions in New York?
 "No," Jacobs said. My organiza- tion in New York will continue to stage bouts as long as it can get fighters, but may be on any of the 12 fronts that President Roosevelt has mentioned. Therefore, I'm con- fident that the first heavyweight title bout-with either Louis or Conn as the defending clAampion- will be staged in Northern Ireland. ?
 Jacobs, with the greatest promo tional triumph of his career tossed into his lap by the army, is point ing toward Northern Ireland. Esti- mates that the Louis-Conn return match at Yankee Stadium will gross about $1,20o,000, with 77,o00 fans attending.
 Asked to Help
 Uncle Mike says the army placed the Louis-Conn bout at Yankee Sta dium in the hands of committee Ul SIyO1LS cOlDOIS OI NCM ! OTk IeWS- papers. That committee asked him to assist in staging the return brawl in which no one will make money except the Army Emergency Relief Naturally, he'll help the sports edi- tors committee run the show, anc he'll try to put it over so that il may go down in history as his great est promotion.
 The War Departments sanction of this bout will probably give about S700,000 to Army Emergency Reliei and not a cent to either Louis Conn or Jacobs. Uncle Mike is ex. ultant because so many persons 'ir the know" told him that it never could be staged.
 Jacobs explains:
 aWhat happens to me after thii bout, I don't care. I realized tha here was one of the greatest chances for building up quick relief funS An our whole scheme of living.
