BOXING SHOW WILL ASSURE MUCH MILK BY DAVIS J. WALSH (1. N. N. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, May 11.—Twenty-four hours away from what is undoubtedly the most attractive boxing card ever arranged here or elsewhere, New York has risen to the Milk Fund show to the extent of $300,000 worth of tickets sold, with many more to come. A sellout will mean a crowd of nearly 70,000 and gross receipts totalling $450,000 and if the weather remains favorable these figures will be reached long before the first bout goes on at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. As a result, many milk bottles will stand on destroying doorsteps and the status of the Principal heavyweight contenders will be determined beyond all argument. It is a worthy charity and a worthy shbw. The customers, for example, paid $1,600,000 to see Dempsey give Carpentier a nasty punch on the chest at Jersey City. They will see 50 rounds of boxing tomorrow between all of the championship contenders, with the exception of Tom Gibbons, and the most they can pay is $450,000 at prices ranging from $1 to $20, an extremely moderate charge, considering undernourished children are the beneficiaries and Jess Willard, Floyd Johnson, Luis Firpo, Jack MacAuillfee, 11, Fred Fulton, Jack Renault and other fistic headliners the attraction. The return of Willard to the ways of the fist should be sufficient unto itself to insure a capacity house, regardless of Johnson's recent improvement and the fast that McAuliffe has suddenly begun to make his trainers indicate an uncomfortable afternoon for the noble Firpo. Rumors have gone beyond the point of giving the customers a meal and are promising a feast.

Rumors have gone beyond the point of giving the customers a meal and are promising a feast. Long before the finalists have entered the rung, Fulton will try his chin against Renault's punch with the issue in grave doubt. "Tiny" Jim Herman, the Omaha giant, will sock Al Reich or vice versa, and Harry Drake and Joe McCann, will pedal four rounds. That means 50 rounds of action, provided one or two of the contestants do not become uncoath which is altogether likely. Odds on the principals of the feature houts have held firm; in spite of the improved chances of Johnson and McAuliffe, the short enders. Doyle, Broadway's most betting commissioner, is holding $1300 of Willard money against $1,000 on Johnson, and holds several sizable wagers that say Firpo will beat McAuliffe at odds of 2½ to 1. He also holds a freak bet of $300 to $100 against Willard, Firpo and McCann winning their bouts. Betting activity and ticket sales determine public interest in all sporting events and in these essential particulars the Milk Fund Show is scoring more heavily than any local feature since the Dempsey-Carpentier afair. A barrage of hits which sent two pitchers to the showers gave the Yanks an easy victory over the Indians, 13 to 4. The Athletics hammer four Brown pitchers for a 10 to 7 win. Tobin hit two homers and a double but they went for naught. Studebaker WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE ALMOST IMMEDIATE DELIVERY ON ALL MODELS Harry D. Riley STUDEBAKER DISTRIBUTOR 151 SO. LOS ANGELES ST.

The majority of players, particularly those who are in the major circuits, try to out guess the pitcher. But Hornsby has a different and far simpler system. "It may be all right to try to outguess the pitcher," says Hornsby, "but that isn't what I do." "I just go up there and swing at the ball when it comes over. I don't try to figure whether he is going to throw a fast one, a slow one, a curve, high or low. I just walt and see what comes up, and if I think I can hit it right I take a cut at it. That all there is to batting, in my opinion." "If you try to outguess a pitcher you invariably get the worst of it if almost sure in your own mind the pitcher is going to give you a fast one and you get a curve, see what happens. You're set for a speedy one, and when the curve comes you swing too soon and probably miss it altogether." "On the other hand, if you have an open mind you are ready for anything and you can't get crossed." Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, sees in baseball pools the greatest current menace to the game. The commissioner, strong in his likes and dislikes, has a tremendous hatred for pools in all forms. The judge made an unqualified statement one night this spring in Florida, that he would do all in his power to wipe them out of existence. With clenched fists, he declared they were making the younger generation inveterate gamblers. His drive against them began in Chicago recently when nine were arrested as distributors of the pools. A representative of the commissioner's office sat in the courtroom during the preliminary hearing and Landis intends following the cases to the end, in order to secure convictions. "Gambling in the baseball parks could be summarily stopped if the laws furnished any real punishment." declared the judge recently. "In Boston, last summer, we obtained many arrests, but the penalties inflicted were so small that they had no effect. But gambling in all forms must be eradicated from baseball, and I intend doing my part in eliminating it from the game." Gene Sarazen, disgusted with his poor showing on the winter exhibition trip and subsequent championships in the south, is working hard to remake his game before entering the British open at Troon. One thing must be said for the little champion, he is an indefatigable worker—in fact, he owes his success to hours of tedious practice that soon would have become odious to the most enthusiastic player. Sarazen teamed with Jock Hutchison during the winter and he is rebuilding his play according to lines set down by the sagacious Scot Sarazen's first move was to convert his wooden play into a flat swing, with a slight break. On the other hand, he is playing his irons with a slight fade to the right so the ball will hold to the slippery English greens. He also is earning a drag shot to be used in place of the stoppun. The champion will put in a long practice session at Lido, Inwood and the national to battle the wind and weather in preparation for anything he may encounter in the British islands.

LAST U.S. GOLFER, OUIMET, DEFEATED (By International News Service) DEAL, England, May 11 — Francis Oulmet, last survivor of the American team in the British amateur golf championship, was beaten in the semi-final round today by Roger Wethered, star of the British forces. The score was 2 up and 1 to play, Wethered out-shooting the American entry consistently after the seventh hole. Oulmet went on to semi-final by defeating Cyril Tolley, British champion of another year, 4 up and 2 to play. It was a case of Oulmet, the technician, vs. Tolley, the indomitable, and the shot maker prevailed over match player in a manner that left no doubt as to which was the better golfer. The semi-finals: Wethered, England, defeated Oulmet, Boston, 2 and 1. Harris, England, defeated Grant, Anglicized-American 5 and 4. RICHFIELD TAKES ON FAST L.A.

ANAHEIM VETERANS MEET EL SEGUNDO Anaheim veterans will have some stiff competition Sunday in their first American Legion League Sunday. The fast El Segundo American Legion team, rated as one of the fastest semi-pro teams in the south, will give the local vets their first baptism of fire since the armistice. Since Anaheim Elks are taking a vacation, the legion game will be played on the local high school field. With the El Segundo outfit comes Happy Wentz, a former Sells-Floto clown, who as a comedian is warranted to give each and every fan his money's worth. His stunt of wrestling with himself is known from the west to east coast. Captain Red Altnow is much pleased with the new talent that has been trying out of late. Reeves, who tried out last Sunday, will be seen in left field again. He is an old time baseballer from the midwest. A triple and a single in the sixth inning gave the Reds a 4 to 0 victory over the Braves. URS ed with a collection LECT FROM ROWNUPS. STORE Anaheim, Calif. And many others, Leonards & Co.
