KFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS and

: set ' Upon " the shoulder of . George
. "Rube" ' Walberp. . ; the - sensational
southpaw find of the Portland Beavers.
Joe- Devine, who is one of the few
"scouts for . a scout, has- telegraphed
this, offer' 'to. Bob . Conneryv official
Jvory banter of the New York Ameri
cans. - Covnery is en route to - the

.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. ,

Grew Races
Divided Into
Two Classes
. .. , ... ...... . .....
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. Rajf Harroun, Far
Cooper, Eddie Bald, j Gil Anderson,
Eddie RIckenbacker, thyself and others
in retirement soon.- ; j.
HATE BEES' StPKEME :
This year and; last1, year youth : has
ben supreme in motor . racing. . 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 '

By Darts J. Walsh '
International Nen Service Sixirts Editor
NEW YORK. -June 14. 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.
JACK DEMPSEY TO BATTLE
BSESNA5 ON LABOB DAY
Los Angeles, June 14. (U. P.) Jack
Kearns has reached final agreement
for a Jack Dempsey-Bill Brennan fight
for the world heavyweight champion
ship at Michigan City, Mich-, next
Labor day, he announced here Tuesday.
Promoter Floyd FItzslmmons has of
fered Dempsey a flat guarantee" of
3200,000 for a 10-round, no decision
bout, which will mean for the, cham
pion about $83 a, second in the ring.
Kearns returned from Oakland -yesterday
after cancelling Dempsey's
vaudeville contract.
. "Then we may work our way Fast
on a short vaudeville tour, and open
camp at Michigan City about six
weeks before the fight.'
The Yale bowl is having, a drainage
system installed which will do away
with much of the annoyshce due to
wet field in the football games.
j startling- speed creations made abroad
omy w lose race axter race to the
young. Three successive defeats have
been handed to them in Indianapolis
and;, last year an -American youngster
with an American car. won the great
French Grand Prix, breaking - the
hearts of the French. T - ' ,-:
This was Jimmy Muriyi. who won
at-Indianapolis. --
.. The French brought out their, first
straight eight racing cars three years
ago. They were much- the fastest but
lost because ' of the old time pilots.
America adopted the style of motor and
with her youngsters made a clean
sweep last year and this-.
" And so it will be from now on until
the French and Italian designers turn
te their youths for the qualities de
manded of winners. j .
Now and then a veteran may creep

Australian Team
Looks Stronger
With Patterson
YJETw YORK, June 14. (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

THE reported signing of three Syra

organized baseball managers : empha
sizes the fact that never before in his
tory has there been so determined a

Alabama pitcher, has received offers
from various big league- clubs, : includ
ing the Athletics and Yankees. Cleve
land has been on his trait and so has
Chicago.':'"' V" '-- " f' !'"'
Thompson's: case' reads like a- story.
He is the son of a South Carolina
father of small means. The strapping
youth was needed on the farm, but
the father decided to sacrifice himself
in -order that his boy might get an ed
ucation and have his chance in the
world. -
Can you imagine the reception s, the
farmer gave an emissary., of a big
league club when he made a proposi
tion to sign the boy who is just IS
at once? At any rate, the boy did not
sign. It is said that young? Thompson
has been so pestered by . scouts that
after every game he jumps Into a Ford
ear and losea himself. Perhaps some
Southern business man of prominence
who appreciates the stuff that is in this
boy and his father will do a little
scouting on his own hook. - . , . ,

5-CENT CIGAR IS
BACKT0 BETTER
THAN NORMAL
Fond Memories of Smoker
Awaken as He Lays Down
Nickel
New York, May. 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.- . .
