. NEW., YORK, .June 21 . Iftl For

ey clash In a 15-round heavyweight
championship bout In Long Island
City tonight. . ,
William : P. Carey, president of
Madison..' Square Garden which Is
promoting the mutch In the now out

Kroas. receipts In the neighborhood of
400.000. Even that figure, stagger

view of -the million-dollar "gates" of
the pernpsey era- ,

the match as a due! of two closely

fraternity supported . him in that
opinion.
Nt-hmeling (lets Odds
The odds continued at 0 to 5 with
Schmeling a favorite although some
betting commissioners were quoting
11 to 10 and tuko your pick. Odd3
against a knockout by cither man
were 3 to 1.
Both Schmeling and Sharkey came
down from their training camps In
upper New York state in excellent
condition, Sharkey has been tne
more Impressive during the training
grind but the experts pointed out
that Schmeling never had looked any
too good in a gymnasium. He needs
real competition to look his best.
The Teutoh has come far since that
June night two years ago wiien
Sharkey battered him around for
three round3 and then fouled him In

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. June 21
"California's crew for California's
Olympics" wasn't Just a slogan to
day. It looked very much like a
prophecy, Instead, aa a result of the
smashing victory of the Golden Bears
over six eastern and one far western
rival last evening In the four-mile
vurMty championship race of the In
tercollegiate regatta.
, So far duplicating their triumphal
naval maneuvers of 1D28, when they
Bwept unbeaten to world champion
ship height In the Olympics, the
1 Californians now turn to the Ameri
can Olympic try-outs, to be held July
7-8-0 on Lake Quinslgawond, and a
prospective battle with Yule, among
others.
There will be a strong fleet assem
bled for the Olympic tests, Includ
ing at least two of the losing boat
loads yesterday, Washington and
Syracuse, as well as, Wisconsin, Co
lumbia's graduate eight and the Penn
A. C, but the situation today point
ed strongly towurd another spectacu
lar duel between California and
Yale, for the right to represent the
United States at Los Angeles. -
Over the Olympic distance of 2000
meters (pproxlmately one mile and a
quarter) California barely turned
back the Ells four years ago. Yale
was the Olympic victor in 1024 so
that each has the Incentive to swing
back on the International seas. Mean
while on the ancient Thamca at New
London, Yale must beat Harvard be
fore raising Ell hopes for the Olym
pics too high. - ,
Over the four-mile route yesterday,
California registered, one of the most
decisive varsity victories witnessed on
old inn n river in a number; of years.
The Beam failed to touch their own
course record, due to a wind that
shifted tip stream, but administered
a pretty sound beating to Cornell's
powerful boatload, as well as Wash
ington, Navy's defending champions
and the highly rated but extremely
disappointed Syracuse eight.
Rusty Gill, star California full
back whose pugilistic career ended
with a knockout, has signed to
make movie football pictures.

a percentage of .100 In the American

club of the old National league won
only 20 games while losing 134. The
Sox might not equal that mark, but
they should have little difficulty
bettering , the next lowest Tecord- of
30 won and 117 lost set by the Phila
delphia Americans in 1916. t. , -; a
By way of provjng they could lose

Collins, the Bostons dropped tbeir
opener to Detroit yesterday, 6 to 4,
McManus became a full-fledged mem
ber of the managers' i association
when he was chased for arguing a
decision. '
The Yankees kept intact their seven
and one-half, game lead over the field
by beating St. Louis, 3 to 1. . Lefty
Gomez held the Browns to three hits
in achieving his 13th victory In 14
