Princeton Set For Yale Nine

The Yale Summer baseball team will meet It's final college foe on Saturday when the Prnceton Tigers will furnish the opposition in a game which will get under way at 3 o'clock at Yale Field.
 The Orange and Black squad dropped a close one last Saturday to Columbia when Dick Ames, for- mer Yale ace, bested Dick Arm strong in a 2 to 1 mound duel.
 The Tigers, although their record to date is six victories against an equal number of losses, have been spoilers, and will be gunning hard to become the first college opponent this year to hand the boys of Coach Red Rolfe a defeat.
 Armstrong las ptched some fine ball this season and is entirely cap. able of handcuffing the Eli bats men as he has a world of stuff.
 Rolfe has not yet nominated his mound choice, but 1t will be either Ed Machaj who turned in the fin- est performance ever seen at Yale Field last Saturday when he pitch ed l6 innings of shutout ball against Holy Cross before his mates could push across the single tally needed for victory; or Jim O'Brien, who scattered six scanty hits over the route in his only appearance of the season against Columbia.
 If Machaj works, then O'Brien will get the call for the Labor Day tilt against the M B. Bombers, city champions; while if Rolfe uses the former husky Columbian Saturday, then Machaj will twirl against the Bombers.

SALOKUS STARS AS BRASS TOPS
 INGERSOLL 5-4

Ralph Orsini's American Brass baseball aggregation last evening eliminated the 1ngersoll Clock nine from the second round of the In- dustrial League by scoring a 5 to { victory in a game which went but five innings when darkness inter- Vened.
 The first three innings were score less with the rival pitchers, Georgie Salokus, and Hooks Groth seeming invincible. Two errors, two hits and stolen base gave the Anaconda nine three tallies in the fourth and in the fifth a hit batsman, an An nie Oakley and double by Salokus netted two more runs to make 1t a 5-0 contest.
 Clock pushed over four runs in the last half of the fifth and left the tying run stranded. A hit batsman, a single, an outfield fly, Festa's three-bagger and an error gave them four markers.
 The victory put Brass in third place tie with Chase at 2-2, right back of Waterbury Tool and Scovill- Waterville R. A., who share the top spot at 3-2.
 Two postponed games remain to be played and Scovill E. R. A., first round winner, figure in both, facing Chase at 6:15 tomorrow at Fulton park, Charley Gerace umpiring, and taking on Brass at 1:30 Sunday on the No. 1 Hamilton diamond, Jim my Crichton working
 If s. E. R. A. wins both it will move into a three-way tie for the honorS with Tool and Scovill-Wa- terville. Moreover, if s. E. R. A. drops both, Tool, s. E. R. A., Chase and Brass will make 1t a four-way tie for the round title.
 In other words, with two games to go, five of the loops six clubs are still in the running for first place.

Beau Jack Set For MISC Go

The unenviable distinction of be- ing the shortest -reigned lightweight champion in history may befall Robert Nathaniel Montgomery should the Philadelphia titleholder be dethroned when he faces Beau Jack in their fifteen-round match at Madison Square Garden a week from tomorrow night, (Sept. -0).
 Montgomery annexed the crown by outpointing Jack at the Garden last May q. Although entitled to a six-months grace period before placing the championship on the line, Montgomery is defending his laurels less than four months after winning them.
 By Sept. 10 it will be exactly III days since the Quaker City lad won the title. Up to now the honor" of occupying the throne for the shortest time belongs to Al Singer who knocked out Sammy Mandell on July IT, 1930 to become champion and was knocked out in turn by Tony Canzoneri on Nov. IA, 1930 to lose the crown. Singer held the championship for exactly 120 days.
 Beau Jack himself was a long way from matching the seven-year reign of Benny Leonard or even, for that matter, the one-year reign of Henry Armstrong. Beau became champion by knocking out Tippy Larkin on Dec. IS. l942 and then lost the title by losing to Montgom- cry on May 2l of this year, holding the championship for 148 days.
 Montgomery. of course, does not aspire to short-reign honors and will do everything in his power to pre- vent that distinction from coming his way. The Philadelphian is hard at work in preparation for his first title defense and is expected to move his training quarters on Sunday from Philly to Stillman's gymnasi. uIn in New York, where he will con- plete his training.
 Beau Jack is conditioning himself at stillmans. His last fight was against Johnny Hutchinson in Phil- adelphia on July ie. the Beau wln- ming by Q kayo. Montgomery's last fight was also in Philadelphia. He won from FFitEe zlvie in that city last Aug. a.

North Smithfield. R. T., Sept. a. (UP)-Joseph A. Connolly, 67, for- mer left fielder on the Boston Braves world championship baseball team of 1914, died unexpectedly of heart disease at his home here last night.

QUILTER AIDS WEISSMAN FOR
 BENEFIT CAME

Just like the teams in tho majoa leagues, the New York Black Yars kees, who come to town Saturday afternoon to meet the city League All-Stars, managed by Milt Weiss- man in an exhibition game for the "On to Youngstown" at Hamilton Park, have been r1ddled by its vet- eran stars being called to the colors. But like their American league namesakes, the colored club is still the great aggregation which has always been acclaimed by the sports writers of the metropolis as the peer of them all.
 However, in spite of the loss of their crack battery of Eugene Smith and Johnny Hayes, and of their lilke- able second sacker, Dick Seay, tha Yankees are still the scourge of the National Negro circuit. The answer to this is probably the good fortune of the Tanks in having Marvin Bar- ker as their pilot, incidentally, the youngest mentor in the loop, and Q playing manager at that.
 The list of teams who have fallen victim to the Black Yankees offens- i've this season are almost too num- erous to mention and include not only semi-pro also minor and major league clubs during the spring train. ing season. Some of them are the Bushwicks, Kansas City Monarchs. Memphis Red Sox, Birmingham, Black Barons, Philadelphia Stars, Dizzy Deans All Stars and many others.
 The Black Yankees pitching staff right now boasts of four pitchers, two of whom, Bob Griffith anc Johnny Stanley are fast enough for the big show. Stanley is the veteran of the team one of his greatest feats being the game in which he out. pitched Dizzy Dean, 6 to o, when the Dizzy was pitching in the big league.
 Manager Milt Weissman of the City League All-Stars announced to- day that Pat Quilter, pilot of the Washington Hills, would assist him in assembling the formidable array of league talent which will face the Yankees Saturday afternoon. No doubt several of the Hill players who 90 to the National tourney next week will get an opportunity of fac. ing the kind Of opposition which they are sure to run up against ct Youngstown.

Sh-h-h-h! There's Racing Man in BoseboII;
 Widener Admits He Owns Stock in PhiIIies; Didn't Know He Wos Making Self CuIpobIe
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor


 New York, Sept. 2.-Horrors! A calamitous situation exists in base- ball. It threatens the very founda- ton of the game. It comes as a shock to the nation-may even up- set the market. And 1t has blown the honorable Kenesaw Mountain Landis higher than the lefty peak after which he was named.
 There's racing man in base balll
 'S'fact.
 George D. Widener, multi-million- aire president of Belmont Park, ex- tensive breeder and owner of an elaborate string of runners, today broke down and confessed that he has 5000 invested in the Phillies.
 q didn't know there was any, thing wrong with it." explained the master of Erdenheim Farm. "A friend of mine came to me in a sort of Save the Phillies' movement, and clipped in. I didn't know I was making myself culpable. I'll promise not to make myself ob- noxious around Shibe Park. I've sasn exactly two ball games in my life"
 At last reports, Commissioner lands was investigating, as usual.
 >udge Landis came into power ~sikh the Black Sox scandal and Keeping cut of baseball people as- aaeiated with anything to which gambling is attached has been an obsession with him ever since. And if you don't think gambling is at- tached to racing, just take a peek at the mutuel figures.
 There is no rule against racing people being connected with base hnll, but Czar Landis is greatly prejudiced, to say the least Re- eaBdless of their prominence and sanding. he never has failed to throw his weight heavily against their becoming associated with the game. To him, racing is open air gambling. nd he operates on the theory that lt mixes with baseball like booze and gasoline.
 Landis did not approve when charles 4. stoneham and John Mc- OFnW of the Giants purchased con- trolling interest in Oriental Park, MaVmna. fn the early i920s. Stone hame and Mc0raw ultimately ped- dled fiaelr stock and the former fiEpossd Of his horses.

11-CAME BOAST OF EPHUS BALL
 KING CUT TO I
BY GLEN PERKINS United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

United Press Staff COrrespOndentl
 New York, September 9. - (UP) = Truett (Rip) Sewell, Pittsburgh Pirates hurling ace, can no longer boast the 11-game winning streak he thought he accumulated earlier in the season.
 The streak ran for only seven games and the record books verify that statement.
 The National Leagues new sus- pended game ruling is responsible for the change in Sewell's record. It so happened that the originator of the "ephus" ball was sent into a sub seQuently suspended game July IS as relief hurler. The score was tied when he took the mound and the St. Louis Cardinals added a run to make 1t 6-5 before the game was called in the eighth inning. The league ruling states that on tne next meeting of the teams the game shall be resumed with as nearly the same lineups as possible. Thus, in yesterdays contest, Mort Cooper, who was hurling for the Cards when the game was called, protected the one run lead by pitching two score- less innings, and forced Sewell to shoulder the defeat. George Nun ger, pitching for the champions when the margin of victory was at- tained, received credit for winning the game.
 The Cards also added another game to their win column by beat ing the Pirates, 8-6 in the regular scheduled contest. Cooper also started that game and was touched for three hits, which, coupled with an error, gave the Bucs @ three dun lead in the last inning.
 The league leaders forged ahead with 8 run in the fourth and three in the seventh, highlighted by Danny Litwhiler's 10th homer of the season. Three more in the eighth and one in the ninth proved sufficient to enable the Red Birds to sustain three run rally by the Pirates in the ninth inning. Murry Dickson, who relieved Cooper, re- ceived credit for the decision and long Johnny Gee was charged with the loss.
 Phil Cavarretta provided a story book finish for the Chicago Cub Cincinnrti Reds game with his sev- enth home run of the season. The blow came in the 10th inning with two men out and two on the bases to give the Cubs l2-9 victory in the only other National League game scheduled.
 In addition to providing the Cubs with the necessary margin for tri- umph, Cavarrettas homer also end ed the seven game winning streak of the Reds ace reliefer, Clyd Shoun. Estel Crabtree chose the ninth in- ming of the game to hit his first circuit clout of the season, which, with mate aboard, tied the free scoring game at 9-9 and sent 1t into extra innings. Lon Warneke received credit for the decision.
