bout where "fouls don't count."
The fans honed for something- bet
ter than Sharkey's battle two years

title to Germany. It appeared that
BO.IXK) of tbem would turn out for
tonight's affair, paying from $2 to
$23 for the privilege.
They'll be packed into the New
Long island sports stadium.
For Schmeling. the show will be
his second defense of his title; for
Sharkey, It is ballyhooed as a last

Sharkey always has been a ques
tion mark. There Is no middle
course, He Is either very good or
very bad. If he is right tonight,
the "German Dempsey" may lose
the most coveted of all ring titles.
No Cheese Champ
Schmeling is as confident aa Shar
key, anxious to convince fans he fa
not a "cheese champion." He prov
ed that to a few when he knocked
out William Stribling, Jr., last sum
mer. But there are many who hold
that Scbmeline is champion because
he was fouled.
The German Is a slight favorite,

With the margin separating the

ing changes may occur this week in
the Pacific Coast league standings.
San Francisco, rounding into pen

Portland Beavers in a series at Port
land this week. The Seals drew the
spotlight last week by winning five
of their seven gomes with the league
leading Hollywood Stars. They have
a chance to move from third into sec

games from the second place Beavers.
Hollywood is host this week to
Oakland with little Importance at

in poor form last week, losing five

US BIG EVENT
POUliHKKEPSIK. N. Y .Tune 21.
(U.R) California's great varsity crew
today was established as America s
probable representative in tlm Olym
nic iramrs nt Los Ancles as result of
its great victory in the Pouabkeepsie
regatta.
Conch Ky Kbright's second "wonder
crew" spread-enL'led the field of eight
in yesterday's 3(itli annual classic, and
became odds-ou favorites to win the
Olympic assignment in eliminations at
Worcester, Mass., next month.
An ordinary victory would not have
made the t. olden Bears favorites to
rate the Olympic. Yesterday, how
ever, California was the winner, not
only after the four-mile grind from
Krum F.lbow to Blue point, but had
helf a commanding lead after the
first mile and increased it almost at
will.
Real Place Scrap
The real battle yesterday was the
fight for second place between Cor
nell's Big Ked crew and the Huskies
of the University of Washington.
Both their crews knew, after two
miles, that nt least two California
oarsmen would have to break orms or
legs to keep the Benrs from winning.
So Cornell and Washington settled
down to one of the grandest scraps
fr place position in Poughkecpsie
history. And Cornell won it.
Coach Jim Wra.v's lJig Red eight
was a none-too-good sixth at one and
a half miles. Washington was in sec- j
ond place, two lengths behind Cali
fornia. The two-mile mark reached,
Cornell had pushed up into fourth :
place place with Washington, rowing:
a steady 30, holding firmly to second. :
At two and one-half miles Wash
ington was still second but scarcely
half a dozen feet separated the Husk
ies from Cornell. Here the Ithacnns
jacked up their bent, captured second
place, as they passed the three mile
mark and with an ever-Increasing
stroke held thnt position to tho end. :
Syracuse took fifth, slightly behind
Navy and Columbia's little regarded '
crew finished sixth. Pennsylvania was j
seventh, and Massachusetts Tech, 25
lengths behind California, in eighth
and last place.
If California had been pressed It
might have approximated the record
time of IS minutes, 35 and 4-5 sec
onds made by the Bears in 1028.
California's time yesterday was 10:55.

By HOST C It A FT
Gayle Talbot, Associated Press
sports writer, points out that the
Boston Jted IS ox stand a fine chance
of cracking the all-time American
league mark for games lost in a sea
son. Willi the k UHOii well uust the
one-third post, the Sx have won just
11 contests aguinst -17 defeats for a
percentage of ,I!HJ in the American j
league. Back in 1-S1HJ a Cleveland
cluti of the old National league won
only 20 games while losing 134. The
ox might not equal Hint niiiru, nut
they should have little difficulty bet
tering the next lowest record of 3(t
won and Hi lost set by the Philadel
phia Americans in IDltt.
It's too bad the Boston funs haven't
the same sense of humor possessed
bv the students and alumui of little
Hobart college. Hobart lost 25
straight football games and won na
tional recognition by so doing. Finally
winnint? the twentv-sixth came, the
college put on a ceklratiou that
lasted for three days. Think what
a celebration Boston could stage when
and if the Sox win a game.
Somebody has suggested to
Chappie King, Townle manager,
that he stage a baseball throw
ing contest for the fans in one -of
the home games. Chappie is
thinking of putting on such a con
test. All ball' players will be
barred and the fans will be in
vited to come down out of the
stands and compete with eaoh
other for prizes. Sounds like an
interesting proposition and cer
tainly he jhould encounter no
difficulty getting people to turn
out for It.
"We don't get the type of men In
the east that the coast universities
depend on for athletic supremacy,"
said Busty Callow, Pennsylvania
crew coach, on a visit to his old home
in Washington n couple of years ago.
The showing of his Peiiu team in
Monday's Poughkeepsie Begat tit seems
to benr that out. The University of
Pennsylvania is a wealthy school, and
Callow's athletes, for the most part,
lead a comparatively soft life. This
tells on them when it comes to con
ditioning for a four-mile race. "
Rusty was born near Slielton.
Wash., in the same neck of the
woods in which this department first
saw the light of day. We used to
throw rocka at the Callow boys on
their way to school, though we were
at that time of very tender age, and
they would repay that pleasantry by
offering us oil-day-suckers flavored
with red pepper.
Rusty turned Into one of the .
greatest oarsmen Washington
ever turned out and his record
as coach was equally brilliant.
Going east to take over the Penn
crew, he found conditions dif
ferent, however. Whereas on the
coast, most of the athletes work
during the summer In the logging
camps, on the roads, or on other
hard jobs, the Penn athlete
spends his summer In travel or
in a s u mm or camp.
This, you understand. Is no indict
ment of the eastern athlete. It's just
his good fortune. But his muscles
are not conditioned to tho hard grind
and he finds It a bit difficult to com
nnfte with the huskv Washington.
Oregon or California boy when ft
comes to the type of sport exem
plified by the four-mile crew race.
Superb conditioning that's the
secret of the const athlete's suc
cess, and it's usually due to the fnct
thnt he has to work for a living and
keep in shnne whether he likes it or
not. But his luckier and wealthier
eastern brother is "out of luck" when
it comes to playing agninst him.

-A STATEMENT BY THE GILLETTE SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY
IN its recent confession the Gillette Safety
Razor Company told you that, under the
stress of introducing a new razor and blade,
uniformity had suffered; and told you how our
efforts to correct the trouble had resulted in the
development of a far superior product
Several readers have asked us how we can
make the bold, positive statement that today's
Gillette blades are .the sharpest, smoothest
shaving blades we have ever produced. This
is a fair question, and here is our reply: A
marvelous new testing machine, recendy devel
oped, scientifically proves that these blades have
never before been approached in keenness.
fact We know we are right and can prove it
Further than this everyone knows that a razor
blade must be able to bend without cracking
when tightened in the holder. This requires
steel of a certain temper not suitable for a keen
cutting edge. The problem is to permit flexing
and yet have a hard edge that can be ground
and stropped for proper shaving performance.
Gillette has achieved the solution of this prob
lem in the manufacture of its slotted blades
These blades are made by a special tem
pering process that makes the edges exception
ally hard, while the center, of a different temper,
flexes easily.
We cannot discuss the nature
machine because it is
being patented. But we
can tell you that it meas
ures microscopic dimen
' sions with unfailing
accuracy revealing
with mathemabc exact
ness, actual degrees of
razor blade sharpness.
So when we state that
today's Gillette blades
are the sharpest we have
ever made we are bas
ing our assertion upon
or details of this We urge you to
The Gillette Blue Super-Blade
The $2 Kroman De Lure blade has been
withdrawn from production. We offer the
Blue Super-Blade as its successor. This sen
sational blade is far superior to the Kroman
and costs considerably less. You pay only
a few cents more than for the regular blade
and get unmatched shaving comfort Its
extraordinary shaving performance will
convince you that the Blue Blade it the
sharpest ever produced. A blue color
has been applied to the blade for easy
identification. It is contained in a blue
package. Cellophane wrapped.
try today's Gillette blades-
the regular blade in the
familiar green package
or the BLUE SUPER
BLADE in its blue
package, Cellophane
wrapped. Do so without
risking a cent If you
don't agree they are the
sharpest, smoothest
shaving blades you
have ever used, return
the package and your
dealer will refund your
money.
