" This is Walberg's first year in pro leuronBi pawoau ana me isci mar. ne .is the leading hurler of the Beavers - with four victories and three defeats - Indicate that he has more than made good. The -price demanded for Walberg is not a big one In view of the fact that -v the major league . clubs have parted ; witn larger - sums ior piayers in : mis league, namely the $75,000 paid by the . Tanks for- Jimmy , O'Connell and the $100,000 paid by the White Sox for " Willie -Kamra. The fact that good - southpaw hursers are at ' a premium may result In the deal being closed be fore mid-season, -j, TWO OTHEBS WATCHED - Miller Hugglns of the Yanks Is in need of a good southpaw, in that Frank O'DouLj who? was with the San ; Francisco club ' last year, is . the only 'f portaider on the New York payroll. i-Devine watched Walberg pitch two games this season and he is certainly pleased with the - youngster's style. : I Devine has tipped off a couple of other i players to the New .York scout among 'them being Sammy-Hale and Jimmy Poole. t i iH; .;-! - . - Hale is playing -wonderful ball for - the Beavers this season and if he con , tlnues, to slug the ball as he has been this season, -it 4s almost a certainty that he will get another trial in the "major. When Hale was in the Texas league he was the fielding sensation of that ' circuit, but last year In the - ' Coast league he was .not considered va 'good third sacker. , A correction of one . fault and the issuance of a short . fingered glove greatly improved Hale's fielding. .. . Pitcher Betts of the Philadelphia Nationals, whom the Portland club contemplated purchasing, has . been signed by the Salt Lake club. Betts was up in the Dig snow ior several -1 years. . The Beavers will open their : first . series of the season with the San Fran Cisco club today. , BILL JAMES TOO MITCH FOB SACS J TIGERS WIN 4 TO 0 Sacramento, June 14.

By Lawreaee Perry , Coprriht, 1822. by The Journal) THOSE who seek to compare the June regatta on the Thames river' at New London with, the annual Hudson river boat race at Poughkeepsie in terms of relative importance are doing no in Ignorance of the fact that the two events are not in any way to be compared. The Poughkeepsie regatta is practi cally -an all-comers affair whose tacit design is to. bring forth the champion ship crew of the eountry. The race is held under the auspices of a board of stewards representing Columbia, Penn sylvania, Cornell and Syracuse, but all crews, wherever they may be, are prac tically certain of an invitation if they evince a receptive spirit. The aim is national, and crews of the west coast and ! Middle West are more than welcome.! The affair on the Thames is a fam ily affair between Harvard and Yale,, whose roots go back Into antiquity,, so far as that term may be applied to American intercollegiate sport. There is no taesire to settle a championship issue or to challenge the world for supremacy. j For a period of more than 50 years crews of . the . Crimson and Blue have struggled for victory and out of these annual meetings' has grown a store of tradition, legend and glowing memories that are handed down from generation to generation and. j like a snowball, grow -as they progress. No matter as has been the case this year whether Yale and Harvard have lost all their preliminary races and are rated at the foot rather than at the top of the aquatic colleges, the same colorful throngs give festal! atmosphere to sleepy old New London on regatta day and the same crowded observation trains rumble up and down both sides of the river Thames. In other words, sport for the sheer sake of sport. . Sport with the tang of tradition and the glow of time-honored rivalry. Herein is represented an ideal of American amateur sport that should not be overlooked. 1 It -does not exist broadly in this in tense land of ours, but it does exist at New London and it should be prised by all Americans who see deeply into this matter of competitive athletics and ap preciate that, while victory is desirable and Valuable; there are -other elements Just as essential, if not more so, such as strong and , enduring friendships, common respect and mutual esteem and wholesome rivalry. We criticise' this spirit in the Eng lish, saying that it makes for medioc rity in sport ; that it does not produce world's champions. Perhaps not, but at least it makes for a broad distinc tion of young men with sufficient abil ity to prove worthy contenders and not a group of high strung specialists who blase for a little iwhile in our firm ament and then crush to earth burned out. Youth to Front in Auto Racing " f Uniontown Classic on Friday By Barney Oldfield j j Unirersai Serrice Staff Correspondeat. NEW YORK, June Motor racing fans are turning their eyes to ITnlontown, Penn., where the next championship races wjUl be driven Fri day. ' : : And with the turning of ' attention there eomeg the realization that rac ing, -as all other sports, demands the same virtues. Youth alone possesses these virtues in full and so we have all come to realize-that in auto speed "youth" must be served. The day of the foxy ; veteran is - past. Many thought for years that the winners came from the old tamers who knew all the tricks of the sport. But not so now, since the tremendous advance in motor design, in tires and in all that makes for the sport. All the vet erans left are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall and I . ex pect to see -the few istill racing join Louis Chevrolet.

If there was any doubt; left last winter it has been wiped away by the series of victories by the youngsters this sea son. Indianapolis especially was the "swan song" of the veteran. ; And from now on youth will come more " and more into . its .own - and the vets will gradually fade from what little lime light they mow - occupy. The i youth -Is "-not. afraid of work: Is not afraid to try! new - ideas, and equipment. Youth Is jnot backward in venturing . for the many things . which make success. ? Youth is not hesitant in throwing - aside many things. - to which the old timers cling. 'Youth has stamina to work early and late: to experiment and to re-build. Youth faas the dash and 'spirit J the ' dare-devil quality necessary to racing success. The young are not afraid of anything. Hence this Is the day of the youth. TUe veterans must be - content to pass on what experience has taught and see that youth's new Ideas develop Into winners. w 4 ?.- EUROPE LOSES TOtTXGSTEBS T ' It is an old story in all other lines ot sport.

The posting of 12500 by Harry Wills aa a tfor felt to meet Jack pempeey and the ac ceptance of r -the same by the New York state boxlnar commission makes it as sure, as slow poison " that - the champion will face the black within the period of a year, at the very least. The, New York body Jte Ahe most powerful and even if it went so -far and was so foolish as to declare Demp sey's title void through, his failure to accept the challenge, nobody would con sider thedecision valid. ..They don't fall heir to titles by forfeit In America. 2TO SIDE STEPPING ' ; A stronger and more persuasive force than that presented by the au gust rulings of the New York state boxing commission will prompt Jack Dempsey to accept the inevitable--and the match. It is public opinion. ? Public , opinion will not stand for Dempsey sidestepping the issue now that Wills has come out in the open with a formal challenge supported by real American dollars. . Certain elements may prate that it Is the worst of bad business to give another negro a shot at the heavy weight title. To these, it might be pointed out that one thing worse than that, a great reflection on the dignity and common sense of the white race, would be for Dempsey, the champion, to Ignore a worthy challenger, be he the color of ink. MUST PBOVE IT ' Right now, Dempsey is the recog nized heavyweight champion of.' the world. But the time has come to prove it, and if the proof involves a colored man, it is all the more necessary that the defy be taken up without unseemly delay. The weight ot. public opinion bears down hard on that point and no man, least of all . one who represents the highest in achievement, can afford to ignore the popular voice. That the New York commission seems , willing to waive' in the case of Wills whatever objections It may have entertaired toward mixed bouts here ia plainly indicated by the published statements of William Muldoon, its chairman. . The commission holds that it ' must receive word from Dempsey before it can take any action on the mixed Iut question ; '-that, in other words, the match must be made first before tne commission will make known its mind.

(U. p.) withdrawal of the Japanese from the Davis cup. tennis tournament takes out one of the teams that was consid ered the strongest contender. . Unless some surprising form is shown In the preliminary rounds, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Australia will meet the American cupr noiaers in the challenge round. The quality of competition should not suffer, however, as many critics be lieve that the Australian team, with Gerald E. Patterson back in the har ness, will give the Americans a stiff er test than- the Japanese did last year. : Becausethe nature of the draw .re quires so much traveling there have been more defaults this yeaf than there were last year, in the greatest play In the history, of the cup. Hawaii, Philippines and Canada withdrew previous to the default of the Japanese and. as a result-France, Czecho-SlovaUa, Spain and Italy, Den mark and the British Isles will. enter the second rpund without lifting a racquet, Australia against Belgium and India against Roumania will be the only matches of the first round. , Because of the geographical dis advantages of the blind draw, which were so pronounced this year, it. has been suggested .that the- Davis cup committee of the United States Lawn. Tennis association amend the rules to provide for a seeded draw in the fu ture. However, the association is not In favor of this and has announced that it will continue to observe the blind draw and take the chances.' " V COLORADO STAB WITH SOX Boulder. Colo., June 14. (L N. S.)

What is taken as one of the most definite signs that things are really getting back to normal is found in an nouncement of the General Cigar Co., Inc.. of a real 6-cent cigar.- The Wm. Penn. ' The company Is how putting forth the Wm. Penn by tens of thousands the country over, and it is hard for their workers to keep up with the demand. The price Is 6 : cents straight each, for one or a thou sand, thus giving the utmost value to the man who lays down a nickel for a cigar. The Wm. Penn is avclgar designed to fill the great need of the Amer ican Smoker for a 5 cent cigar fit to smoke. It is a genuine old-time cigar - of the type that made tho nickel a real piece of money, i Long domestic. filler, select binder, and imported wrapper. It Is the kind of a cigar that looks like it is more than worth 6 cents when you see it, and smokes as If it had cost twice the price. "On strictly business principles,", says the General Cigar Co., Inc., "we have no right to price the Wm. Penn at 5 cents. It is at least a year ahead of the times in quality for the price. Both manufacturer and dealer have cut down profit to give the Great American Smoker the biggest bestQuality smoke he ever had for a nicJteL , "The General Cigar Co., Inc., rec ognizes that the smoker will never feel that the world is just right un til he gets a cigar that he likes to smoke for 6 cents. -We have given it to him. Through huge output, and . by anticipating the trend of things, we have been able to put out the Wm. 'Penn. The smoker gets the greatest rvalue a nickel ever bought in a cigar." NOTE There is only one price for a Wm. Penn 6c straight 15 per hundred $50 - per thousand. Please do not ask the dealer to sell for less, lie can not afford to do it.- . . Seavey , rJrfVA.
