HAVRE DE GRACE. Md., July
20.— Young Tommy Chatfield, who
raced motorcycles in Europe be
fore he snagged a berth on the
United States Olympic bobsled team,
put on the big show today as the
Havre de Grace Yacht Club ended
Its 11th annual regatta with 11 new
world records in the bag.
Chatfield. husky New York City
driver, who has been racing speed
boats exactly a year, accounted for
one new record personally and saw
one of his two boats, driven by
Polly Wright of Philadelphia tack
up a second.
Without question, Chatfield had
the two fastest boats on the Sus
quehanna today—and he was up
against a fast field, out to launch
the Eastern regatta season.
Whitfield Sets Mark.
Yesterday four new records went
up as the racing started. Three
more resulted from mile trials early
this morning and three more de
veloped from the 5-mile races later
—but one of the new marks merely
bettered a record established yes
terday.
Chatflcld's Viper, a 225-cubic-inch
racer so new that its driver was
hone too sure of its tricks, clocked
85 miles in mile trials, missing the
record by a narrow margin. In
winning the Eastern 225 champion
ship for Chatfield, the Viper passed
the 60-mile mark, but was far short
of the 70-mile-an-hour record
6peed.
Only one new mark resulted from
three solid hours of outboard racing
today. That was set by Don Whit
field of Upper Montclair, N. J., who
drove his Midget 35.377 miles an
hour to better the old mark of 34.782
set by Bert Steacie at Red Bank in
1938.
Despite Chatfield’s firm hold on
the regatta’s star role, Philadel
phia's Louis Burk was possibly the
most consistent if not the most col
orful of the inboard winners.
Bunk's Senorita Speedy.
Burk's Senorita, a new class A
racer, upset the mile record estab
lished only a week ago at Cam
bridge by Bill Kammerer of Balti
more. Burk turned In a mark of
42.105 miles an hour.
In 5-mile competition, he estab
lished a speed of 39.029 miles an
hour. There was no previous rec
ord listed for class A inboards.
Sarah Bonfoey of Quincy, 111.,
driving her husband's fast Tae Foy
in had little trouble clinching the
women’s inboard free for all. de
feating Mrs. Andy Crawford of
Washington in both heats.

Dodgers Fall Before
Cards, 3 to 2, After
Winging Start
Warneke Feeds Medwick
Homerln First, Then
Hurls Shutout Ball
By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, July 20 — Long Lon
Warneke fed Ducky Medwick a home
run ball with one out in the first j
inning today, but clamped down
tight after that and pitched the
Cardinals to a 3-to-2 victory over the
Brooklyn Dodgers. The defeat drop
ped the Dodgers to four full games
behind Cincinnati in the National
League race.
The deciding run in this tight
pitching duel came across in the
seventh, when Joe Orengo tripled to
center and continued home on Dixie
Walker’s bad throw to the infield,
thus giving Long Lon his seventh
win of the year.
Warneke gave up 10 hits alto
gether, while the Cards were col
lecting only seven off Tex Carleton
and Curt Davis, the losing pitcher.
The Dodgers started off as though
they were going to send Warneke
to the showers. Cookie Lavagetto
singled and Medwick knocked his
eighth four-bagger into the left
field stands. The Cards came back
with one in the second on Ernie
Koy's triple and Wameke's single,
and tied it up in the sixth on Mickey
Owen's bunt-single and Johnny
Hopp’s double. Then Orengo broke
up the ball game.

Jim Farley as Chief of Yankees
Wouldn't Be Sports Stranger
By DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer. *
NEW YORK, July 20—Jim Par
ley, who, reports say, is quitting
politics to head a syndicate paying
more than (4,000,000 for the New
York Yankees, was a national sports
figure as New York athletic com
missioner from 1925-1933.
He introduced the no-foul boxing
rule and sent the Dempsey-Tunney
1926 heavyweight championship
fight to Philadelphia by holding that
Negro Harry Wills was the logical
contender and that Dempsey must
meet him before Tunney or fight
outside New York. Farley made
Influential friends by giving away
free fight tickets.
Sports people like Jim. As one
explained, “He will never throw you
a curve,” meaning that Parley al
ways gives a straightforward an
swer. Parley has said he held the
Postmaster General job (salary,
(15,000) at a financial sacrifice. He
should make several times that sum
as Yankee boss.
Rumors in recent years have had
him becoming (1) baseball commis
sioner, (2) boxing czar, (3) turf
ruler, (4) pro football commissioner.
As a youngster. 6-foot-3 Parley

ft
Hurler John Clements, Gritty
And Capable, Is Hard Luck
Man of Industrial Loop
It takes a lot of moxie to keep
coming back after losing heart
breaking ball games week in and
week out when you spike the enemy's
heavy artillery with low-hit per
formances only to see the game
kicked away by weak-hitting team
mates. It's something like scoring
a knockout and having it disallowed
because your seconds forgot to lace
on the gloves.
But moxie is young Johnny Cle
ments middle name and Industrial
League sluggers speak of him with
awe—almost reverence. Johnny is
the champion hard-luck kid of the
sandlots and no fooling. Dame for
tune tossed him a couple of snake
eyes on the first roll of dice.
Last week, for example, Johnny
tossed a three-hit game against
O'Donnell's and lost when the op
position culled two off his offerings
in the sixth for two runs. His mates
banged out 10 bingles for the amaz
ing total of one run and he lost, 2-1.
But that is the rule, not the ex
ception. Johnny has been throw
ing four, five and six hit games all
season and losing heart-breakers by l
shoestring margins. It's enough
to beat most pitchers, but not
Johnny. Instead of folding, he takes j
a hitch in his pants and figures he'll I
get a break next time, but that time '
hasn’t arrived.
The culprits, incidentally, are
known as Russell Motors, supposed
ly a well-balanced crew. But with
Johnny on the mound they can't
fathom enemy hurling.
Another sight for sore eyes in the
Russell line-up is Pete Jenkins, fleet
center fielder, who is being hailed as
another Joe Di Maggio.
Reliance Life finally got in the
groove last week and pounded out 12
hits to top Russell, 9-8. and leading
the attack was little George Oertel.
George, if you haven t noticed, has
been murdering the ball recently,
slugging way over the .300 mark, and
playing his position like a young
Cobb His batting usually is over
looked because of his excellent de
fensive play, but George is putting
on weight and beginning to hit
like a 200-pounder.
Roy McNeil's three hits also were
an important factor in the victory.
Joe Ciomie simply can’t get back
into action in one piece. He tried
a comeback last Thursday and suf
fered a reoccurrence of his ankle
injury. Earlier in the year he broke
a finger. It's beginning to get
monotonous.
“Eck” Xander, a catcher, was an
other O’Donnell player to feel the
sting of misfortune when a foul tip
split one of his lingers.
O’Donnell's, incidentally pulled the
biggest folding act of the season by
losing to Heurich, 16-1. Bill Eth
ridge's crew will be a long time living
down that debacle.
Kenny McQuinn, whose big
brother is in town with the St. Louis
Browns, hopes to get back in the
line-up Tuesday, when Cameo meets
Heurich. He's been on the shelf
with an ailing digit Cameo can
just about sew up second-half hon
ors if it hurdles Heurich Tuesday
and O'Donnells Friday.

Pirates Make 22 Hits
Off Six Twirlers,
Crush Bees, 17-6
E> the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. July 20.—The
Boston Bees ran into their worst
nightmare of the season today as
the Pirates blasted six pitchers for
22 hits and a 17-to-6 triumph.
Casey Stengel’s club had all the
better of the fray until the seventh,
when the Corsairs went on a ram
page and counted nine runs. Four i
more tallies in the eighth added
insult to injury.
Fifteen Pirate batters went to the
plate in the hectic seventh. Debs
Garms got two hits during the
frame and four for the afternoon.
Mace Brown was the winning
pitcher, coming in during the sev
enth when Big Max Butcher
failed in a relief hitch for Joe Bow
man.
An early feature was Pirate Arky
Vaughan’s homer inside the park.
His drive traveled 457 feet to the
fence in direct center field.

Losing Streak With
Win From Bosox
Five Homers Punctuate
9-tox6 Battle; Grove
Easy Slab Victim
By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July 20.—The Cleveland
Indians snapped a six-game losing
streak today by pounding out a 9-6
victory over the Boston Red Sox in
a free-hitting melee marked by five
home runs.
Ken Keltner and Ray Mack, who
collected the brace of Cleveland
circuit wallops, led the vicious In
dian 13-hit attack with three hits
each. Skipper Joe Cronin, Jimmy
Foxx and Bobby Doerr each blasted
a ball out of the park in the losing
Sox cause.
Mel Harder pitched most of the
distance for the Indians and, al
though hit hard, was effective in the
clutches and several times cut short
Boston threats with strikeouts or
double-play balls.
Ancient Lefty Grove started for
the Sox but was tagged for four
runs in the second with none out
and left the game. Earl Johnson, a
recent Importation from Rocky
Mount, succeeded him and flashed
some fine pitching until the Indians
got to him in the seventh to break
a 4-4 tie with a three-run cluster.

City Loop Fireworks
Due as Kneesi Cubs,
Card A. C. Clash
Junior First-Half Flag
At Stake in Bcttle;
Senior Scrap Hot
Loaded to the gills with potential
diamond dynamite, Kneesi Cubs and
Cardinal A. C. tangle at 1 o’clock
this afternoon on the South Ellipse
for the first-half flag of the National
City League junior division. Mean
while, other teams in the circuit will
be launching second-half activities.
8haring interest with the junior
classic is Klein s Tavern's game with
District Grocers in Section A of
the unlimited division. The Grocers
are undefeated in two games and
five teams are treading on their
heels, ready to forge ahead. J. C.
Flood Plumbers. Klein's. Packard
Washington. Miller Furniture and
Orange Disc are those pressing the
southwest nine. Not until next week
will the championship picture begin
to clear and if the second half
chase follows the patterns of the
first it’ll be a battle royal down to
the finish line.
Tight Slab Duel Looms.
Nino Briscuso, Doswell Olson and
Dick Kauffman are ready to go to
the mound for Kneesi this after
noon and any one of them can make
it uncomfortable for the Cards. But
Manager Jack Hoffman can counter
with Chester Speiser, Buddy Erhardt
or Ken Curies, also good chuckers,
and a tight mound duel wouldn't be
surprising. The rivals finished their
regular schedules with a record of
five victories, one defeat and one tie
each.
A keg of cold, foamy brew will be
at stake in the Klein-D. G. S. battle.
The Tavern team’s sponsor treats
his men after every game they win.
but lets their thirst go unslaked if
they lose. Last week Manager
“Dutch" Earhardt's clan suffered a
surprising 6-2 setback at Packard
Washington's hands and have been
pretty dry since. A win over D. G. S.
not only would bring cooling relief,
but also send the suburbanites into
a tie for the lead with their rivals.
Brother batteries may feature the
game for Klein's has Foster and
Bob Mathias and Boyd and Bill
Liggett to send against the south
west nine. Foster and Bob are the
pitchers and either can kick up a
mess of trouble for the opposition.
The Grocers probably will rely on
Herb DeVers. veteran mainstay, who
stopped Miller Furniture last week,
4-3, although touched for 10 bingles.
Plaza Tile Faces Test.
Plaza Tile and Marble (currently
leading the Section B race with two
victories in as many games, faces
a test in its game with Washington
Home Improvement and a slipup will
cost Frank Cinotti’s men undisputed
possession of first place. Washington
won its lone start of the second half
two weeks ago and drew a bye last
week.
