Oscar Scheske of Belleville, ILL.,,
a 48-year-old real estate broker
who has been shooting only two
years, is the new handicap cham

Scheske, who suffered a badly

He won it over a field of 1881

He broke 100 straight targets
from 19 yards to give the big han

finishes.
Seven shooters had posted scores
OF SO of 100 and seemed headed
for the gaudiest shoot-off ever
staged. when Scheske came in
near the finish with his winning
score.
Among the seven who were
deadlocked at SO only two had
ever done anything notable on
the traps. Julius Petty, 80, a fur

In these drab days with the
Mats the mere presence of gasket-
blowing Mickey Grasso, the curt
seying catcher, is likely to be a
stimulating sight to Clark Grit
f1th's diminishing crop of custo-
mers. Mad Mickey is worth see
ing even if the Mats aren't at the
moment.
The Mats boosted their losing
streak to seven games last night,
losing twilight-night double
header to Chicago, 6-1 and 1915,
and it was Grasso who saved a
dull evening from complete bore
dom by exchanging opinions with
Umpire Cal Hubbard. also a man
of conviction.
The debate was slightly silly.
Hubbard called Chicago's Chico
Carrasquel safe at first base on a
close play in the ninth inning of
the second game at time when
the Mats trailed by five runs.
Pitcher Mickey Harris became
miffed and Grasso sensed an op-
portunity to be elected.
GrasSo quickly rushed into the
argument and took command of
all insults. Since 100 per cent of
his remarks were directed at Hub
bard the burly umpire promptly
informed Mickey his work for the
night was finished.
AT that point red-faced Mickey
gave it the polite routine, bowling
graciously from the waist to Hub
bard. who countered with a less
flexible bend. Grasso threw down
his mask. chucked his mitt to the

place.
The prize money picked up by
Scheske will not be known for
several days, but estimates based
on last years payof placed his
winnings around the $3.50 mark.
The women's championship
went to Mrs. Anna Linn, 80, a
f1rst-year shooter from Maupin,

Redskins Fayorites
By Six Points Over
Cardinals Tonight
By Lewis F. Atchison
Sfar Sioff Correspondent

DENVER. Aug. 26.-The Red
skins will be 6-point favorites
over the crippled and thrice
beaten Chicago Cardinals in their
game here tonight. A turnout of
at least 10000 fans is expected.
With both Sammy Baugh and
Harry Gilmer still nursing slight
injuries, the Redskins may have
to rely on their ground attack
to beat the Cards.
The Cardinals. who gave the
Rams a surprisingly stiff argu-
ment at Los Angeles Wednesday
night, have enough dynamite in
Charley Trippi. Ventan Yablonski,
Elmer Angsman and the rest, to
make it unpleasant for Coach
Herman Balls men. The Red
skins, however. are confident they
can stop Trippi and break up
the Cards passing.

tackle for the Cards against the
Rams, has a bad leg and will he

/ Pat Harder, veteran fullback, will
miss the game because of an in.
Jury. Their loss will weaken the
team considerably, but as long a:
Coach Curley Lambeau has Pau
Christman and Jim Hardy tt
throw the ball and Nal Kutnel
and 'Pussyfoot" Polsfoot to grab
it, the Cards will be dangerous
The Cards have a winning
streak of three in a row against
the Redskins. Not since 1947
when Sammy Baugh completed
25 ofS33 passes for 355 yards and
paced the Redskins to a 1921 vic
tory at Griffith Stadium, has the
Tribe outscored its Windy City
adversary. Baugh received a sta
ton wagon in a testimonial be-
fore the game, and wrecked it the
next day.
The last time the teams clashed

meeting in a league game at Chi
cago last September resulted in
a lopsided 38-7 win for the Cards
Ball hopes to use as many
rockies as possible tonight, with
emphasis on George Thomas al
halfback. Nick Sebek, rookie
quarterback, may be seeing more
service than anticipated, if Baugh
or Gilmer have to be excused. Bal

Robinson Lays Quick
Victory Over Basora
To Bit Of Strategy
BY the Assoeioted Press

SCRANTON, Pa. Aug. 90
They jeered Sugar Ray Robinson
his last time out, but there was
nothing but cheers for the Har-
lem dandy today.
Robinson proved for all time
last night that he ranks with the
rings great boxers as he ripped
and slashed Jose Basora with a
ferocious assault that earned a
52-Second knockout in the first
round of a scheduled 15-round
championship bout.
Basora was seeking Robinson 5
niddleweight title, Pennsylvania
version.
Two weeks ago, at New York
Robinson looked uninpressive in
winning a 15-round decision over
Charley Fusari in a successful
defense of his world welterweight
title.
Basora was badly hurt by the
Robinson onslaught and his ham
dlers were dumbiounded.
Reveals His Strategy.
On the other hand, Robinson
hardly worked up a sweat and
grinned broadly as he. told news
men he had fought "a carefully
planned campaign" based on Ba-
sora's weight.
Basora entered the ring at 15934
to Robinson's 15434. but Robinson
said he had learned Basora
weighed 168 earlier in the week
IT knew he couldn't take of
that much weight without it hurt
ing him." Robinson said. "I fig
ured I'd give him everything I had
early and if I didn't knock him out
in three rounds he'd be so weak
he'd collapse"
And Robinson dropped a be-
lated hint to Fusari, saying that
it had hurt his power when he
took off weight sharply for the
New York bout. He limited that
if Fusari had adopted similar
campaign" Charley might now
be the world welter king.
May Have Punctured Ear.
Robinson really poured it on
Basora. The seconds hadn't got
ten down the steps when Basora
was on the floor. rolling with a
whistling left hook to the right
ear.
His ear was cut so badly it was
still bleeding when the fight was
over. DR.. Leonard Freda of the
State Athletic Commission, who
refused to permit Basora to get
up for six or seven minutes, said
later he may have suffered an ear
puncture.
A crowd of 4,145, we'll under
expectations. paid $15,755 of
which $12,435 was net. Since
Robinson owes some $500 for
running out on a previous fight
with Basora. his take home pay
amounts to about $4,000 on a
$500 guarantee.
Basora, who earned Is per cent
of the gate, also will receive about
$4,000.
