Outpoint Challenger
Who Packs Punch
NEW YORK. July 15.—OD—
James J. Braddock’s attempt to lift
the light-heavyweight crown off
" Tommy Loughran’s brow this week
furnishes metropolitan followers of
the fistic industry with their first
real championship bout since last
September when Andre Routis beat
Tony Canzoneri for the feather
weight title.
The battle of the left jab and
straight right — Loughran and
Braddock—is set for 15 rounds at
the Yankee Stadium this Thursday
night.
! The advance dope favors Lough
ran to outpoint the challenger, cur
'rent odds being around 2 to 1
Braddock, however, packs enough
dynamite in his right arm to laugh
--at odds. If he can pierce Lough
• ■ ran’s guard, there will be a new
light-heavyweight champion.

SOUTH ORANGE. N. J., July 15
(/P)—Harvard and Yale tennis play
ers are going to have their hands
full when they tackle a combined
team from Oxford and Cambridge
universities at Newport, R. I.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The invading team from England
flashed unexpected strength in
overwhelming Princeton and Wil

ended here yesterday, by a score of
16 matches to five.
' Two stars stood out above the
rest of the British team, one was an
American E. O. Mather, and the
other a South African. N. G. Farqu
harson. Both are tall and tow
headed and they look enough alike
to be brothers. Mather was for

Just when it began to seem as
if the alarmists might possibly have
some grounds for their apprehen
sions. Mr. Gordon S. Cochrane was
welcomed back into the Athletic
fold, fully recovered from a broken
rib. It may be that Mr. Cochrane’s
presence behind the bat was not
the prime reason the McGillicuddy
arms were returned victorious, but
the fact remains that the Athletics
defeated the Indians, 5 to 3, in 10
innings at Cleveland yesterday as
Detroit trimmed the Yanks. 7 to 4.
This perfect Sabbath for the lean
leader of the Athletics increased the
Mackian margin over the champions
to eight and one-half games. The
Macks are four games past the mid
way mark of the schedule and are
better placed than were the Yan
kees at a similar period of the 1927
campaign, which witnessed 110 New
York victories.
Frayed by their vain efforts
against the Yankees and the Macks
Daniel Howley’s troops batted a
three-hit game for Jack Russell at
St. Louis, and the Red Hose won
by 5 to 2.
The White Sox defeated the Sen
ators by 7 to 1 in the remaining
American league fixture.
Confined to their hotel by rain in
Boston yesterday, the Buccaneers
received word of another even break
by the Giants, who plunged to a
position 10 losing games to the rear
of the flying leaders. The Cubs
were in Philadelphia with no game
scheduled, so the Pittsburgh gain in
that direction was nothing at all.
The venerable Clarence Mitchell
all but turned In a victory in the
opening game at the Polo grounds,
which would have made John Mc
Graw’s day a total loss. Carl Hub
bell treated himself to a six-run
explosion in the fifth inning, giv
ing the Cardinals a margin of three,
but the home team pounced upon
old Mr. Mitchell for enough runs
in the home half to tie. Carl Mays
then entered the box, and held the
Cardinals safe until Bill Terry’s 11th
inning single gave the clan Mc
Graw a 7-to-6 victory.
Bill Walker tottered in thp eighth
round of the nightcap, enabling the
Cards to score three times to pull
out a 4-to-3 decision. Jess Haines
was the winning pitcher, although
he gave way to a substitute at bat
in the big St. Louis eighth.
Cincinnati stopped Brooklyn by
12-to-3 as Swanson and Walker hit

There are facts and figures to
back up the belief that the Texas
League is exceptionally fast for class
“A” ball. For one thing it usually
wallops the champion of the South
ern league each year for the Dixie
title. Another thing is that there
are about 60 ex-Texas league players
now cavorting in the two major
loops.
• * •
Houston has turned out a great
er number of these than any other
Texas club. They have the fol
lowing now in the big tops: Selph,
Bottomley. Hafey, Orsatti, Hal
lahan, Frankhouse. Roettger. Peel,
Myatt, Walker, Sehuble, Bell and
Mueller. The White Sox have a
larger number of ex-Texans on
their roster than any other big
league team. They have Alex
Mctzler. Art Shires, Carl Reynolds,
Watty Watwood, Tod Lyons. Chic
Autrey, Gradv Atkins and Ted
Blankenship. The Cardinals are
a close second with seven. AH are
up from the St. Louis team’s Hous
ton farm. Six Texans arc with
the Athletics, five with the Cubs
and four with the Phils.

Well. well, we may have to take
up tennis again after a brief career
of one game. In our bashful ’teens
we purchased a complete tennis out
fit and matched a game with a
neighboring girl. Our family had
been joshing us about the girl for
some time. After a short session we
inquired as to the score. The an
swer, “two. love,” caused us to
abruptly shelf the game.
♦ * *
* /
There is now a movement on
foot to abolish the term “love.”
Frank T. Anderson, prominent
player, is at the helm of the re
formers. If Anderson and his co
horts put it over, we may return to
the courts for another game.
Love, by the way, means "zero” or
“nothing” in tennis. (This is an
excellent for some Old Meanie to
pipe up “and out of tennis, loo.")

Phil Scott, Great Britain's gift to
pugilism, gets a break. Phil, who
has managed to stay on his feet bet
ter than most English brawlers, is
in line for wallops at Max Schmeling
and Jack Sharkey, leading con
tenders for the title Gene Tunney
dumped for an heiress. Schmeling
is under contract to meet the Brit
isher in Brooklyn. This paper was
signed by Arthur Budlow, manager
with whom the Black Hun is now at
outs. Schmeling does not want to
go through with the bout with the
second rater from across the At
lantic. The German, well in line for
the world's championship, has noth
ing to gain and everything to lose in
this fight.
Scott has gotten so much pub
licity out of Schmeling’s refusal
to fight that English promoters
are seeking to capitalize on it.
They have invited Jack Sharkey to
London for a fight with Scott. The
loud sailor would get 65 per cent
of the game which should net
around 5600,000. promoters believe.
Meanwhile, Schmeling has been
suspended for not fighting Scott.
The Britisher grabbed a boat to
the IT. S. Saturday to take full •
advantage of the breaks coming
his way.
• • •
Phil is one of those “horizontal
heavies” who should wear a para
chute. He is getting a shot at the
big mon.ey in spite of himself.
Knute Hansen slapped him Into the
resin for the count in one round.
Harry Drake, Paulino Uzcudun and
Harry Persson each knocked him
out. But this does not dlsaualify
Phil in the estimation of British
fans. They are anxious to see their
favorite get in on the ear scrambling
for the title.

Runners Enter On
Second Day Round
LOS ANGELES. July 15.—(JP)—An
attempt to shatter 25-year-old rec

running, sent six two-man teams
into their second day of racing here
today, with Johnny Salo, Passaic

placed fourth in the transconti

the last official check was made
fourteen and cne-half hours after
the start. The present record was
set by two runners at New Orleans.
In second place ran Roy McMur

nine teams starting, three were
forced to droo out due to the exces

PENTS DEFEAT
YANKEES 2-0
Moncus Hurls 2-Hit Ball
Against Fort Brown
All-Stars
The Brownsville Yankees got on
the short end of a fast 2 to 0 game
when they met the Central Powei
and Light Pentagons, at the Har
lingen Fair Park Grounds there
Sunday. Moncus, twirling for the
powermen, kept the Yanks well in
hand and let them down with two
hits, striking out nine.
Neither side was able to put over
a run till the seventh inning when
Taylor hit safely, was sacrificed by
Davis, stole third, and scored on
Cunningham’s long fly into deep
center. Again, in the eighth with
two down Moncus lived on Stan
ley’s error. He went to second on
the play. Garrison came through
with a well-placed double scoring
Mmcus. The Yanks lost a chance
to tally when Nation walked, and
Young' hit to center. Nation fell
rounding third and could not get
to the plate in time to beat the
throw, Lawrence made a nice peg
in. Sage for the Yanks made a per
fect peg to home to catch Wallace
when he tried to score on Moncus’
long fly in the sixth inning. Camp
bell for the Pents grabbed a hot
one off Shaffner’s bat tagging
Young between second and third ■
then throwing Shaffner out at fiist
for the only double play of the
game.
Mgr. Navvaro of the Yanks chal
lenged the Pentagons and the teams
will meet again at the Harlingen

'WAFER,
By NORMAN E. BROWN
PITTSBURGH. Pa.. July 15.—
Right now Pittsburgh Pirates are
drawing the major portion of atten
tion of National league fans. And
those with a leaning toward chem
istry are finding added interest in
the activities of the “Poisons” at
work on the club and the possible
effect of their actions.
For that's what the Pirate fans
have called the two Warier brothers,
Paul and Lloyd, ever since the pair
started to team it with the Smoky
Citv crowd.
“Big Poison.”
And “Little Poison.”
Paul, the elder, drawing the title
of “Big Poison” and Lloyd the more
modest moniker.
But right now little Brother Lloyd
is wearing a bigger label than his
brother Paul. Lloyd, for instance;

in handy fashion. Rain stopped thsJ
combat in the seventh inning.
The afternoon game culminated
in a ninth-inning row that resulted
in the game being forfeited to the
Hat Makers, 9-0. With the score
1-0 in favor of the Mission boys,
Aldape stepped up to the platter in
the ninth inning to crack out a dou
ble. Garcia followed him to the
platter and poked one out to the
infield. A close play was called
“safe” by the umpire.
The Mission players threw their
gloves down in disgust and left the
field, loudly protesting the decision.
The umpire forfeited the game to
Brownsville.
Mai'tinez hurled both games for
the Hat Makers. In the first he
allowed only five hits. Ramirez.
| for the Mission team, allowed only
three hits in the first. Flores hurled

San Francisco club of the Pacific
Coast league after re 1923 cam
paign. Almost ever night he i wed
his worth, both as a slugger and an
outfielder. He took with modesty
honors showered on him.
“If they think I’m a good ball
player they ought to watch my
brother Lloyd.” said Paul. The
Pirate bosses took his tip and did.
They promptly signed the young
man, then playing with the Frisco
club, farmed him out to Columbia in
he Sally league for the season cf
1926, and then called him in.
Injected into the regular lineup
Lloyd started imediately to lived up
to the reputation accorded him by
Brother Paul. Lloyd was placed
ahead of Paul in the lineup. It get
to be such a habit for I.loyd to pole
himself a base hit and then romp
home under the arc of a ringing wal
lop slammed out by his brother that
^he scribes took to calling the two
“Little Poison” and “Big Poison.’ ’
The names stuck.

The batting averages hung up by
the pair to date give a fair tipoff on
their socking abilities.
This is Paul’s fourth year with the
club. He hit .335 his first year up.
in 144 games, and virile playing the
full string in 1927 and 1923, hung
up averages of .380 and .370 respcc-!
tively for the two years.
Lloyd played regularly through 1
the 1927 season, his first year up. and '
hit .355. Last year he grabbed him
self a .335 average.
Both are up around the top of the 1
batting list this year.
