‘PONGO JOE’
BASEBALL VET
Old-Time Diamond Figure
Still In Game After
Half Century
/ _
HICKMAN, Ky., July 19.—<7P)—
"Pongo Joe” Cantillon, who has a
home and a favored sun parlor
here, claims an unequalled record
of consecutive baseball service.
“Pongo Joe” says he has been in
the game 50 years. He was a veter
an w’hen Babe Ruth was born. A
*>at boy back in Janesville, Wis., in
1879 he has run the gamut of or
ysranized baseball without interrup
4 ron until the present time and his
\ job as supervisor of umpires in the
American association.
In a reminiscent mood. Cantillon
is a mine of information about
baseball players. In his own words
he was a “baseball player when the
managers used to give stories to
Ring Lardner because they ‘felt
sorry for the poor boob’.” And as
manager of the Senators he was on
deck when a gangling farm youth,
now known as “The Big Train,"
shambled into his office requesting
a try-out.
"Joe Shay, one of our old pitch
ers, kept writing me about Walter
Johnson until I sent for him out in
Idaho,” said Cantillon. “When I
first saw him he wns a tail, awk
ward boy, modest even about that
fact that he‘d won every game he
pitched the previous season.”
"Pongo Joe's” longest service was
with the Minnapolis club of the
American associa*on which he join
ed in 1910. He remained there 14
years winning four pennants, and
keeping out of the second division
every year but one. After that he
managed the Little Rock club of the
Southern association and for a while
scouted for the White Sox and the
Cubs.
“The best thing that ever hap
pened in baseball,” he declares, "was
Commissioner Landis. And the next
best thing was the American Le
gion’s sand-lot leagues.”
FIGHT BY
ROUNDS
(Continued on page 10)
ran's chin. Instead his own was clip
ped by a right upper cut. Jimmy
was smiling after taking several
light blows to the face. After being
handled easily in a series of clinches
Braddock gestured to the champion
to “come on and fight.’’ Loughran
responded with a pair of stiff wal
lops to the head. Jimmy forced the
champion into the ropes but took
enough to answer several loud
voiced ring critics. They broke from
a clinch at the bell.
Round Twelve
Braddock stalked the champion
about the ring without getting much
satisfaction. The champion, realiz
ing the big margin he had piled up
on points, took no chances and
stayed strictly on the defensive.
The crowd clapped for action and
got clinches. Tommy danced in and
out of his rival's reach, meanwhile
massaging the challenger with his
left. The champion fired both hands
to the Jersey boy's head and ducked
fa vicious left just as the bell
sounded.
Round Thirteen
Braddock bored back into a flur
ry of blows. The crowd yelled as
the champion speared Jimmy with
his left and skipped out of the chal
lenger’s reach. Tommy was content
to .spar and clinch but Tom took
one to the face. The champion wad
ed in for a moment with both hands
punishing Braddock about the body.
But there wTas comparatively little
action. Loughran was in complete
command of the situation and stood
Jimmy off easily with well directed
Jabs as the round ended.
Round Fifteen
Braddock charged in taking an
other series of baffling pokes from
Tommy’s talented left. Loughran tied
up the challenger easily but was
forced into a corner by Jimmy’s
impetuous rush. Loughran landed
his right to the head and avoided
another of Jimmy’s wild plunges.
They were tied up most of the time
in clinches but Loughran took a few
light blows to the head in a corner.
They were sparring at the bell.

Ktouting Klein In
Bat Spree Offering
Menace To Bambino
NEW YORK. July 19.—(/Pi—Young Mr. Charles Klein, of the Klouting
Kleins of Philadelphia, if he does not actually threaten the celebrated
home run record of Tabe Ruth this season, at least stands a mo6t excel
lent chance of toppling the seven-year-old National league record of 42,
set by Rogers Hornsby in 1922.
League and club records for dis
tance hitting are already on tne
chutes but the center of interest
now is Klein, who at this stage of
the season is only two blows short
of the pace that Ruth set in 1927
when he boosted his own season’s
record total to 60 homers. On July
19 of that campaign the Babe had
collected exactly half of his final
total. Klein, prior to today's game
had 28 and led both leagues. Ruth,
although handicapped by illness, a
layoff of several weeks and now a
I strained knee has 22 circuit blows to
his credit.
It probably is asking too much of
Master Klein in his first full season
as a regular to knock off the Babe’s
great record but even with a jack
rabbit ball and a short right field
target, it is little short of miraculous
for the PhiUle star to maintain the
pace he has done.
He not only is in a fair way to
eclipse Hornsby’s National league
record for a season’s total, needing
only 15 homers to do so, but he may
also be the first National leaguer
to enter the Ruthian class of 50 or
more for one year. The Babe has
passed the 50 mark four times.
Chicago Waterfront
Battered As Raging
Storm Sweeps Lake
CHICAGO, July 19.—(A’t—A furi
ous nor'easter’ lashed Lake Mich
igan yesterday and early today,
causing thousands of dollars loss in
lakefront damage. Fifteen-foot
waves battered lakefront apartment
buildings, tore craft from moorings,
and swept over streets, beaches,
' and parks.
Mariners described the storm as
the worst in 20 year:. Excursion
steamers and freighters fought
their way with difficulty through
the tumbling waters.
The storm started shortly after
noon when a strong northeast wind
swept over the lake. An hour later
many lakefront streets were awash
and coa3t guard crews were kept
busy answernlg distress signals.
Repairs recently made to shore
property damaged In the severe
spring storms were in most cases
swept away by the battering waves.
Several small bathing beaches were
obliterated. A large portion of the
sand fill extending from 12th street
to 51st street for the site of the
World's Fair In 1933 was carried
back into the lake. Motorists in
south shore drive were rerouted
when ,eas dashed over the seawall
at 67th street, inundating the
thoroughfares and part of \Jackson
park.

Bob set a new record Thursday
when he pulverized 49 out of a
possible 50 sailing targets. He made
a run of 38 successive hits.. This
is by far the best performance
turned in by a Brownsville gunner.
Quite a few had broken 24 out of
25 but none had been able to
shoot a perfect round before.
* * •
It was to be expected for Bob has
been shooting 23'a and 24's with a
regularity that was almost mechan
ical. He didn’t get to hog the lime
light, though. There appears to be
mutiny in the royal house. Wade
may not be uncrowned by an out

on his young son. Bob, Jr. The
voungster straggled up to the course
Thursday with a .410 and when the
mingled dust of gun powder and
broken pigeons cleared away it was
found that junior had made 16 hits.
This is a feat that many stogey

The skeet club's next shoot will
be held at 9 a. m., Sunday and an
afternoon round, beginning at

What was seen as the greatest
match of the Elks billiard tourna
ment was played Thursday. George
Bell, favorite, defeated Ernest Fer
nandez, defending champion. 50-42.
Only a handful of Elks was on hand
to see the match. Bell, who has won
14 straight and who Is leading the
tournament, seemed destined for a
fall when he scored only two points
in the first six innings. Fernandez
had made 16. Bell miscued fre
quently and missed shots that ap
peared easy during the first half
of the game. Bell was behind 31-39
at the 27th inning. He then un
corked a run of 19 in the next six in
nings that gave him the game.
Fernandeapscored only four billiards
in the last six frames.

As predicted. Tommy Loughran
gave James J. Braddock. the slug
ger, a pretty boxing lesson last
night. Braddock didn’t have a
chance at Loughran’s light heavy
weight title. Now’s the time for
Loughran to step into the heavy
weight class. lie’s got the stuff
and can whip the life out of most
in the heavyweight class now.
While there’s only a few pounds
difference between the light heavy
weight and the heavyweight title,
you’d be surprised at the difference
in the purse and prestige they
carry. Tommy should cash in now.
If he decided to take on the
heavies he will be among the
title contenders without further
ado. As we have said before, n
Loughran -Schmeling bout for the
world’s heavyweight title is well
within the realm of possibility.

At 1:49:54 a. m., the ship passed
the 36-hour mark, her motor and
two-men crew still functioning
smoothly. Periodic refuellings W’ere
carried out without incident.
Yesterday the pilots, Glenn L
Loomis and Joe Glass, ordered up a
cork to plug the main gasoline
tank’s refuelling aperature. Fuel
had been evaporating.
This is the second time the crafl
has been up in searcl of a new re
fuelling flight record. The first
ended in failure, about 20 hours aft
er it began Monday.
thy troops swept through the pa
per defenses of the Robins in Hat
bush for an 11 to 7 decision. The
Pirates remained in the top perch
in the league standing, but they
enjoyed a margin of less than one
full game.
A five-run rally in the eighth en
abled Old Alex the Great to pick
up credit for the Cardinals’ 6 to 4
victory over the Braves. Alex gave
way to battling relief in the big in
ning, and Fred Frankhouse fin
ished. The Phillies turned back Cin
cinnati by 6 to 4 in a game note
worthy because no one hit a home
run.
The Yankees were rained out in
Cleveland, and the Athletics picked
up a technical advantage of half a
game by defeating Detroit, 8 to 4.
The Mackmen margin now is eight
and one-half contests.
More important to Connie Mack
than this paper advantage of hav
ing won a game which the Yankees
yet nave to play was the showing
of George Walberg, who in recent
games had threatened to enter a
slump. Walberg gave the Bengals
nine hits, but so scattered these
that the afternoon was an Athletic
walk-over.
Washington opened its stay in St.
Louis by winning a wild 10 to 3
decision. Seven Washington runs in
the seventh decided the issue.
The veteran Red Faber shaded
Danny McFayden in a fine pitching
battle at Chicago, and the White
