Victory Snatched From Slipping Brooklyn Robins By Hugh 8. Fullerton, Jr. 1' (Associated Press Sports Writer.) 1 ' A season or two ago Sunny Jim jjottomley was the slugging Idol of St. Louis random. A brilliant tint baseman and an effective bitter, be bad things almost his own way with pht" erowds. Then he went Into an almost total eclipse as a slip In his batting was followed this season with tbe rise of the Rochester recruit, Jim Collins, and "Sunny Jim" became a bench-warmer. ,. But Bottomley la back on the lob now, and be apparently means to Bold, It.. He didn't get Into action until week ago when Collins was art, "us since then he has been playing with all his old dash and bitting Harder than ever. - L. r v ' ftoed Yesterday. "Snnny Jim" yesterday, to help the Cardinals take a double victory over the Brooklyn Robins, hit a home-run and two singles In the first and added triple in the second. Aided by this clouting, the Cardinals won the open er 6 to D as Jess Balnea turned In an li-hlt shutout, then pounded out an to 8 triumph In the second, al though Johnny Frederick hit two homers and Lefty O'Doul one. j , The double victory enabled the Cards to remain eight and a half games ahead of the Chicago Cubs, yrho went Into second place by win ning two from the Phillies. The Cubs had to go 10 Innings before they hammered Sheriff Blake from the mound with five runs, to win (he -.first game 7 to 8, hut the sec ond was easy as they plied up 18 hits to win, 13-1.

He hit another four-welter In the sec ond game while Bill Walker held the Pirates to three hits for a 8 to 0 rrumph. - The Mew York Yankees and Cleve land Indians supplied the American league program with some comedy, JMt-.tiiey. each managed to gain a half game on Philadelphia and Wash tngtoo by splitting a twin hill.

By Alan Gould ' (Associated Press Sports Editor) The Violent spirit of Italian soccer football followers, writes indrus Berdlng from Rome, has produced the unusual situation of forcing the big teams to play on neutral grounds, for their own protection, Instead of on the home fields. "Many football players have been Injured by the crowds, many spectators who cheered the op posing team have been beaten, and their automobiles out, gashed and slashed," be declares. "Players of visiting teams are learning to .run like mad the moment the referee blows his final whistle and beat the crowds to ths exits.' "Italian crowds seldom. If ever, cheer a good play by an oppos ing player." . OLD RIVALRIES IN EARLY GRID TILTS LISTED ON COAST BUOBNB, Ore -(AP) Some of the most colorful competition In Pa cific coast grid play this season will oome at the start of the conference schedule. One of the outstanding games will be the renewal of the rivalry between Doo Spears' Oregon and Jimmy Phe lan's Washington teams at Seattle October 10. The friendly feud, which began when Spears, Minnesota coach, and Pheian, Purdue mentor, were trans ferred to the coast last year. Spears, with a veteran combination, won a 7 to 0 victory over Phelan's Inex perienced lineup. But this season Spears, minus hts tars, Xltzmlller and Chrlstensen, faces an even chance of giving his ancient rival revenge.

(AP)' The comeback campaign of "Doc" Snell, lightweight, was halted here last night by Sammy Santos, Manila, when the latter won the decision over the veteran slugger In a six round boxing bout. Snell weighed 136!4 and Santos 139. Santos stole Snell's wild swinging offensive and battered Doc with wicked right wallops and bruising left body blows. Snell appeared slow and tired and showed his old fighting form only once when he won t,he fifth with a two-fisted slugging at tack that cut Santos over the right eye. The Manila boy won the first, second and sixth .rounds while the third and fourth were even. Wesley Ketchell, Portland south paw, toyed with Bob Robinson, Oak land, negro light heavyweight, until both boxers were Instructed In the third by the deferee to start fighting and Ketchell proceeded to knock the Callfornlan down. After taking two counts of nine In the third of the scheduled six round semi-final the referee awarded Ketchell a technical knockout. 1 (- SALEM, Aug. 13.

ACTIVE TRAINING FOR '32 OLYMPICS MEXICO CITY ( AP) The fa mous running Tarahumara Indians of the remote Sierra Madre moun tains of the state ot Chihuahua are preparing to compete In the Olympic long-distance events at Los Angeles next year. Sports writers, however, believe the Tarahumaraa will not make much of a showing, because all the Olympic distances, even the mara thon are too short for the famous Indians. The belief la that the Indians' great endurance and stamina will not offset their lack of experience In the Olymnla events and that the 36 miles of ths marathon Is entirely too short a distance for a runner who Is accustomed to run 100, 300 and 300-mlle races. Famous for centuries for their long-distance running ability the Tarahumaraa live remotely from the rest of Mexico and seldom have been seen In the United Btatcs. Running Is a passion with the tribe, and visitors tell of seeing teams of neighboring villages run barefoot over stony moutnaln trails for two days and nights In competition. Their last appearance In the United States was In 1037 when trams ot men and women runners competed In the Texas relays, run ning from San Antonio to Austin, and In the Kansas relays, running from Kansas City and Topcka to Lawrence.

ALAN rtOI JLD ASSOCIATED PRESS SPORTS EDTO The somewhat sudden and belated discovery of the seriousness of Max Schmellng's eye Injury serves the double purpose of keeping the Ger man heavyweight title sale for an other year and of furnishing Prlmo Camera s backers with fresh ballyhoo material, for $he coming push-over season. It appears quite obvious that Schmellng's manager had no Inten tion o! proceeding with the contract to fight Carnara this September, Just as there was no idea a year ago of permitting Max to meet Jack Shar key In a return title match three months after the unsatisfactory cli max to their first light. Schmellng has proved himself better fighter and more capable champion, as a result of nis knock out victory over Young Strlbllng. He may be able to beat Sharkey, too, in a return fight, but why bo In any hurry to demonstrate this at some personal and financial risk? Camera, presumably, still will be the big mystery man In 1932, just as he remained In 1930 and 1931 at the expense of the credulous cash customers. Sharkey wil remain bel ligerent. Sch moling, on hla return to the United States, will pick tho best and most profitable spot for his next title defense. Anti-Champions Mew York's boxing commissioners have a. novel policy or, perhaps, no policy at all. when it comes to deal ing with champions and champion ships. The "Three Musketeers" of the met ropolitan rings, for example, created the junior lightweight or 130-pound title, strictly for the benefit of a few local warriors, Including Johnny Dun dee. ' It escaped somehow to the custody of Tod Morgan of .Seattle, but when he lost his synthetic championship on a knockout to Benny Bass at Madison Square Garden, the commission forth with threw it out. Kid Chocolate, by knocking out Bass Irt Philadel phia, therefore. Is the Junior light weight champion everywhere but In New York. No middleweight or heavyweight champion is recognized n New York, either. Mickey Walker wasn't per mlttcd to fight In New York until he served notice he no longer wanted the 160-pound honors. The case of Max Schmellng Is mora complicated, for it was New York that first raised the banner for the Ger man, following his victory on a foul over Sharkey. Subsequently, the' commissioners decided they had made a mistake. They withdrew recognition of Schmel lng, who Is nevertheless accepted elsewhere as the hoavywelght title-holder. Sports Writer Blues "Night baseball." writes Stuart X. Stephenson In the Montgomery Ad vertscr, "Is guilty of working a hard ship on the sports departments and tying up the composing rooms of newspapers. H is . . . providing a sport for many workmen who could not otherwise enjoy their favorite pastime . . . but the new Interest Is waning. Also, night baseball Is working a hardship on the athlete. The lights are not good for his eyes. "Naturally, moguls want night base ball. It has increased attendance. They also want good, crisp stories of the games. They are not getting them. Sport writers get sleepy and they certainly cannot write jam-up stuff while rushing to beat a dead line. . . . Unless night baseball is limited to some extent the press must partially sever its relations with the sport." MANILA, Aug. 13.

This Gi syGO'L Q & Ja KEELER ..... I ST ' Just before , the recent sectional qualifying tests for the approaching national amateur golf championship It appeared to me that especially formidable prospects for the Chicago tournament were Philip Perkins, Johnny Goodman and Don Moe. Moe did not make- the grade, and I am surprised and grieved. His ex perience shows up with an almost shocking clarity a weakness In the new sectional system of qualification. Of course It is always wise to sus pect a weakness In any new plan or new mechanism. Or any new golf prodigy for that matter. It takes time and experience and changing situations and circumstances, to es tablish sterling worth. It didn't take a lot of time, how ever, to show up a sterling fault In the new regional system of qualifi cation for the national amateur championship. That Is, It took only one time. The Method The number of qualifiers In any one section or district Is based on the number of entrants. In this re cent test, the proportion was ap proximately one out of three, Twelve entrants, four qualifiers. Fifty entrants, 16 . qualifiers. T,hat way. - The total entry list as compared with 150 the, numbers of players who can be handled properly In the qualifying rounds at the champion ship course established the propori tlon. I think the requirement for entry was a handicap of not worse than four strokes. So It came about (there being great many four-handicap players In nearly every district now) Viat In the northwest, centered on Seattle, there was a small and extremely select entry list; while about Detroit, Just as an example, there was a very large entry list, not so select. At Detroit, one entrant qualified with a score of 164, or a couple of cards of 82, whllo at Seattle Don Moe, with 149, was left out.
