HINTON GETS
DECISION OVER
RUFUS SEAY
B. Jackson, Jr., Gets.Ref
eree's But Redden Gets
Press Decision Here
Pup Hinton. local fighter ham
mered out a six-round decision
over Rufus Seay, marinD fighter,
at the gym last night in the third
American Legion fight event of
the season.
Seay, a nice boxer, laol.-d the
power to damage Hinton to any
ureat exten!. but put on an excel
lent exhibition. He hit Pug nlcntv.
and showed remarkable abilitv to
keen covered up and to block Hin
ton's punches, but didn't have
power enough to keep Pup: from
boring in. Hinton. disregarding
Seay's punches waded in and ham
mered the marine for six rounds
and the decision.
B. Jackson. Jr.. was awarded
the referee's decision over Arthur
Redden in three rounds but the
press score sheet gave Redden the
better of the fight. He slowed con
siderably in the last round hut
gave Jackson a nice lesson in the
first two, hitting with both hands
and making Brownlow miss con
tinually.
Sunshine Sutherland, the south
paw, took a three-round decision
front Paul Jones, his left-handed
style keeping Jones worried
throughout. Sutherland elosod
Jones' eye in the first with a
round-house left and from then
on had the better of the going,
with the exception of occasional
rallies by Jones.
In the opener George Cibbins,
Jr., took a decision from Joe
Starnes in three rounds. (Jibbins,
who improves with every fight,
had a wide margin the first, and
while Starnes came back in the
last two, Gibbins held him off and
took the referee's nod.
Foster Turbeyville and Gordon
McGraw, both 119 pounds, fought
to a draw. Turbeyville swung

Let me remind you axain—Fast

the Balfour baseball park next
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p. m.
j in the first county league cham
pionship game. It will be the
I "'Little World's Series" for Hen

I opening game. Sec the famous
Bagwell brothers of Fletcher, the
| Phillips boys from Fast Flat

bell of the county league. Jake
Justus with his knuckle ball and
big J. Jackson with his sizzling
fast one.
And there is that All-Star game
at Balfour Wednesday afternoon.
i Don't miss it. Stars from every
[team in the county will be in
I the lineups. Wednesday after
] noon at 3 p. m.
Very few football greats excell
in baseball. Bruised and stiffen
j ed shoulder muscles, stiffened
j kneejoints and various other in
juries prove too big a handicap
in the game that demands speed,
isuppleness, stamirfh and accuracy.
Buck Newsom is winning all
his games in the big show now.
If Rogers Hornsby can pick up
! another pitcher like Buck and a
I couple of smashing hitters this
winter he will give the other
teams in the American league
something to worry about next
year.' 'J* |
Carl HabbelPs screwball isn't
cutting up so promiscuously this
year. The new ball is not so con
ducive to his best deceiver. But
Carl did tret plenty on the old
agate in that all-star game. Per-;
haps he has the happy faculty of
rising to any heights when the
demand is overly urgent. But is
is my opinion that Hubbell will
fail to attain the dizxy honors
this year that were his in 1933.
He will lose a game in the big
series:
• •• . •• : with
. , . , t
Guy Bush uses a screwball, too
—a curve that he copied with
variations from Hubbell's salary
earner. Only Bush is a right
hander and makes ' 'em break
down and awav from left-hand
hitters. Hubtbell's twister darts
down and away from right hand
ers. Young pitchers aspiring to ;
go up would do well to write and
ask these two famous hurlers
how to learn ,to throw a screw
ball.
Wrestlers in Europe must weigh
over 300 pounds to W consider
ed. But Londos could throw a
freight train load of those bi£
babies in one night.
Football season is about here.
What teams will furnish the big
noise this yifear? Princeton, Pitts
burg, Columbia in the east, Duk^.
Tennessee, Alabama in the south,
Southern California, 'California
and Stanford on the Pacific< ;
coast, Michigan, Minnesota, and
Purdue in the near west?'
Max Baer has turned out to be
round-house rights and' lefts to
advantage in the early part of the
fight but McGraw came back nice
ly to earn a draw.
Swede Peterson stopped Hol
man Byers in -the first round. Af
ter an exchange of punches Peter
son caught Byers on the Head with
a left as he came in and swung a
! right to the body that floored By
ers, and his seconds tossed in the
towel. It was several minutes be
fore Byers became normal again
and he was carried from the ring.
Johnny Brock and Pug Cline
fought a smashing four-round bat
tle that had the crowd in an up
roar throughout. Cline battled
Brock fairly evenly but Johnny
bored in continually and inflicted
a lot of punishment.
Homer Wyndham, popular CCC
fighter, took a decision from Son
Peterson. Peterson boxed nicely
but Wyndham carried too much
power and the ability to take any
thing Son offered and came back
for more.

I even talk of fighting:. When one
reads of him at all he gets the
impression that he is reading of
a second Valentino or a Kudy
Vallee. But it must be awful
nice to be a ladies' man in Holly

BRITISH WIN
IN FIRST RACE
Spectacular Event Staged
Yesterday as Yanks,
British Compete
Bv SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE
NEWPORT, R. Sept. 18. —
nrp)—Thomas 0. M. Sopwith's
slim blue sloop, Endeavour, riding
heavy rens like a jockey, rac'l
home yesterday ahead of Harold
S. Vanderhilt's whi'.e ship, Rain
bow, and took to herself the honor
of being: the first challenger for
the America's cup to win a match
since 1920.
She cut across the finish line
two minutes and nine seconds
ahead of the American ship, to re
ceive the wildest acclaim ever giv
en a winner. Vita, her mother ship
first to signal her victory, led the
bedlam of whistles, horns, bombs
and bells that saluted her. Sailors
on battleships stood at attention
and cheered. Her own crew, mad
with delight, danced around their
skipper and the white-costumed
Mrs. Sopwith, a working member
of the afterguard and embraced
the happy pair with crazy joy.
She made the finest marine pic
ture ever seen in the history of
modern yachting as she bounded
home. Her great parachute spinna
ker—the "Annie Oakley" with
which the sporting writers have
had so much fun—billowed out in
front of her like a gigantic mush
room. It was drawing perfectly,
without a wrinkle in it. And when,
in the final phase of the race, she
brought down her parachute and
set her reaching jib, the crew j
worked like inspired men. It was
a vastly different ship from that .
which lolled around the course two
days ago.
The race was nnisnea under j
perfect conditions, and brought a
glorious end to what had promis-1
ed to be a dismal, damp, and dolor
ous day. The spanking 16-knot
breeze that sent them out and j
back along the 30-mile southeast I
course finally drove away the rain
clouds, lifted the m:^t, and gave a i
brilliant sun to the hundreds of'
craft who went to sea with the •
ravoys.
The two big sloops went across ;
the line on almost even terms, but
in the. first jockeying Sopwith
seemed to have lost some weight,
and Vanderbilt took the better
berth. For J5 miles out they foot
ed it,' bound for a little buoy I
thr^e miles this side of an island
appropriately named No Man's,
Land.'
There wa$ the usual tacking
duel. Vanderbilt, who sails a ship
bis coldly and efficiently as he
plays bridge, tried out every trick
in his bag, but Sopwith hung on.
ren 'minutes before they reached
Che half way mark, Rainbow ap- j
t>*rently was leading- Endeabour |
by from eight to 10 lengths. The
yachting experts sat back, as com
fortably as possible in the tum
bling sea, and gravely considered
the race almost over.
Then Endeavour began to pick
up. She closed'in on her towering
rival, arid when they rounded the
Nark there was oniy 2$ seconds
iifference between them.
In addition to gafnihg the hott
er of being the first challenger to
*in a race for the Americas cup,
Endeavour roiled up the first score
for the Royal Yachtu Squadron
since 18*71, when Livonia defeated
Colunlbia. But 6ti that occasion,
Colombia was' disabled, and the
^iace was not a real test of ability.
There was no question in the
minds of observers' but that En
ieavour has now demonstrated i
her superiority when running
down Wind. If she loses the other
races and doesnt fulfill Sopwith's ,
ambition to wrest the cup from '
the Yankee hands that have clung
cm to it for 83 years, it will be
because of other conditions—pos
sibly her enthusiastic but amateur
:rew, who are willing, able and
efficient, but not drilled to the
minute perfection required by the

NEW YORK, Sept. 18. (UP) —
Believed "washed up" by sev«n
major league ctubs in the latter
part of the season, tJeneral Alvin
Crowder, 33-year-old right-hander
obtained by the Detroit Tigers -on !
waivers, was credited yesterday
with smashing the pennant hopes
of the New York Yankees. He
white-washed the New Yorkers 3
to 0 in the opening game of what
was to be a "crucial" series.
The victory placed Mickey
Cochrane'.* Tigers 6 1-2 games in
the lead.
The lagers can lose six of their
remaining 12 games and stiir win
the pennant even though the
Yanks should win their 11, games.
The standings would be:
Detroit 99 55 j .643
New York 98 56 .63(5

M'LARNIN WINS
WELTER TITLE
| a '
Beats Ross in One of the
Ring's Most Sensational
Comebacks
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
BOWL. N. Y.. Sept. 18.—(UP) —
Irish Jimmy McLarnin. scourage
of three divisions ami nemesis of
Hebrew brttlers for the past dec
ade, last nijjht staged one of the
ring's most sensational comebacks
when he smashed back to the wel
terweight throne at the expense of
Barney Ross, the Jewish young
ster, who wrested the title from
him last May.
The west coast Irishman be
came the eighth man in rinn- his
tory to refrain the welter crown
when the two judges disagreed
and Referee Arthur Donovan
awarded him the decision after 15
rounds of the mo«t savage fighting
probably that the 147-pound divi
sion ever knew.
While a disappointingly small
crowd of about 30.000 roared its
mixed approval and disapproval
Ross, the trim, dark-haired Chica
go battler who was the first man
in ring history ever to answer the
bell wearing the light weight and
welter crowns, was relieved of the
latter title.
McLarnin had just finished !
turning a flip-flop jVt the end of
the final round when old Joe,
Humphries, the announcer, grasp
ed the brawny, broad-shouldered
Celt by the arm and raised it
aloft.
Jimmy danced about the ring,
and grizzled Pop Foster, his man
ager, threw his arnis about him.
Jimmy was badly marked, how
ever, for a new champion. His left
eye was closed completely. A gash
near it oozed blood. He was bleed
ing from the nose and mouth.
His victory in this second meet
ing with Ross, which had boen
postponed four times because of
rain, came as a considerable sur
prise to many newspaper men at
the ringside who had given Barney
the better of the count by rounds.
The United Press score sheet cred
ited Ross with 10 rounds, four for
McLarnin, and one even.
The fifth was given to the Uhi
cago sharp shooter because Jimmy
was penalized for a low blow.
From the first gong both fight
ers went at it for blood. Ross took
the aggressive and McLarnin. now
fighting at his natural weight of I
146 1-4 pounds, and enjoying a
six-pound advantage over Barney,
pursued different tactics from
those in the May bout. Instead of
driving continually into the cham
pion he did more waiting, trying
to land hard left uppercuts or
vicious overhead rights to the
chin.
Jimmy allowed the Chicago boy
to do most of the forcing, and
when McLarnin countered, swing
ing his brawny arms like black
thorn shillelaghs, he seemed to be
punching more solidly than in the
May bout. At that time he was
weakened by coming down to 142
pounds against Barney's 137 3-4.
There were no knockdowns, but
Jimmy was driven almost to his
knees in the final round when
Barney landed a hard overhand
right to the button.
Ross, like Jimmy, was consid- [
erably battereu when he climbed
down from the flood-lit ring, in i
the center of the garden's great '
gray saucer upon which a half j
moon peered now and then
through the clouds that earlier in
the day had threatened another
postponement. The weather was
so cool that the boxers entered
the ,ring each wearing two dress- '
iiig' apbes.
