Principals to be announced later
With the matching of the last preliminary boys. Match
maker Plant announced everything in readiness for the five
vent card Thursday night which features Ted Fox and Wil
lie Gordon in a ten round engagement.
Fans who were disappointed when the scheduled first
meeting between the two was called off last December when
Fox developed a case of flu, will
have their innings Thursday eve
ning, for each of the principals has
decided to end the match as quick
ly as possible. This condition should
result In a thumping good scrap.
Final workouts were held Wednes
day afternoon, with the main event
ers entirely satisfied as to their con
dition. Benny Pelz, defeated by Fox In
his last appearance here is expected
to challenge the winner ol Thursday
night's main event. Pelz has been
working In Salem breaking up iron
and is keeping in first class condi
tion.
A great many fans are predicting
that the six round engagement ol
Art Akers and Charley O'Leary will
be as good as the main event. Akers
would like to break into the fistic
limelight. He has been showing a
lot of speed In his workouts and
cays he is in much better condition
than he was when he met Hanson
of Portland a few weeks ago. He
was brought in from the hay field
that evening and was not able to
do himself Justice.
Having been beaten by one of the
Ambrose brothers, Jackie Woods Is
going to try the other one and sec
If he has better luck. Jackie lost a
decision to Floyd Ambrose on the
last card, but having expressed
himself as anxious to meet the other
twin, Matchmaker Plant decided to
accommodate him.

Like most other marks In this
i fast-moving era of sport, the half-
Br.'le running record likely will fall
under the flying feet of some new
Mercury but the two men most
capable of knocking It off quickly.
Douglas O. A. Lowe of England and
Uyod Hahn of Nebraska, apparent
ly have hung up their 'piked shoes
lor good.
It took ft dozen years tor Ted
Meredith's old record of 1:521-5 to
fee lowered to 1:511-5 by the gal
loping German, Otto Peltier. Hahn
ran the "880" In 1 :51 3-5 on a bank
ed Indoor track year and a half
ago but unfortunately Indoor per
formances have no official stand
ing In the blue-book of Interna
tional records. -Lowe
seemed capable of a world's
record last summer. He made a
(how of Hahn, as well at Peltier at
Amsterdam In the Olympic 800
meter finals, setting a new record.
Shortly afterward, at Stamford
Bridge, on terrifically hot after
noon and after one hard race, Lowe
reeled off his ha'f-mile leg of a
relay In elate to 1:50. He hid the
id of a running start but he wasn't
extended. Had he b--n given the
chance for an official try that day.
it seemed Lowe might easily have
cut two seconds off the record.
There have been few greater com
petitors or more graceful strtders
than black-haired Douglas towe of
Oxford. He liked to run, "for the
port of it,' but he prefers now to
concentrate on the more serious
bus.ness of becoming an English
barrister while Hahn turns to
farming. .
Relief pitchers seldom make good
tartlng pitchers. Some time ago
I asked Bucky Harris In reason
tor this. Bucky handled one of the
best relief men of them all, Firpo
Mai-berry, who helped Washington
win pennants In 1924 and 1925.
"There must be tomethlng psy
chological about it or else It is like
the fellows who pr'fer attending to
other people's troubles than to their

Cubs Defeat Giants In
Spite Loss Of Grimm;
Browns Beat Leaders
By The Associated Press '
Just by way of proving that tliey were not downhearted
at the temporary loss of Charley Grimm, the Cubs slapped
three Giant pitchers for 14 blows at the Polo grounds Wed
nesday to win by 9 to 2 as the Pirates submitted to their
daily cuffing by the furious Phillies 10 to 8. The net result
of these proceedings was to Increase 1
the margin of Mr. McCarthy s
Bruins to 10 and one-half games,
a tidy margin even with the regular
first baseman nursing a fractured
left wrist.
Physicians and surgeons an
nounced that Grimm's fracture,
even though on his throwing arm,
might not keep the regular first
sacker out for more than three or
four weeks.
McCarthy placed young Clarence
Blair, the Little Rock recruit. In
temporary charge of first base, but
dispatched a hurry call for Charlie
Tolson, optioned to Los Angelea by
the Cubs last spring. He la not
considering Chicken Hawks of
Reading, and denies he ever
thought of seeking George Staler of
Boston in one of those "waiver"
deala which some clubs know how
to engineer late In August.
The Athletics surnrl-d American
league circles by dropping a series
to the Browns Wednesday through
the medium of losing the final
game by 7 to 5, but the Yankees
permitted the White Sox to win by
4 to 3, leaving the standing of the
first two clubs unchanged. The A'
