Latent Ability May Put
Cleveland in Race After
Bad Start Win H in
18 Starts Present Series
By Hugh fl. Fulletron, Jr.
(Associated Press Sports Writer.)
It is rather late In the season for
the Cleveland Indians to start going
'somewhere In the American league
what with their being 94 games out
of first place and a full game behind
the second place Philadelphia Ath
letics, but the results of their recent
tour of the eastern sector indicate
that they still may make some prog
ress. The Indians, playing the road, out
shone all rivals in both circuits In
the Intersect lonal series which winds
up Thursday, and with a few good
breaks at home in the next week or
two, they stand a good chance of
getting into the fight.
Three to Play.
Three lntersectlonal games remain
before the final records for the series
can be compiled, but Cleveland's rec
ord of 14 victories to four defeats
can't be beaten. The best other rec
ords so far as the New York Yankees'
13 victories and five defeats, the 13-7
records of the Philadelphia Athletics
and Pittsburgh Pirates, both of whom
can be improved Thursday, and the
Chicago Cubs' 11-7 mark. And all
of these teams played on their home
V grounds.
The Rdmen topped their tour
Wednesday by trouncing the Boston
Bed Sox, 8 to 1. as Mel Harder gave
only seven hits for his fourth tri
umph of the trip.
Leaders Unshaken.
The two teams still ahead of Cleve
land, the New York Yankees and the
Athletics, didn't yield an inch Wed
nesday. Johnny Allen gave the Yanks
some more first-class flinging and
they made It five straight over the
Chicago Whit Sox, 7 to 2.
The Athletics pounded out an 8 to
5 victory over the St. Iouls Browns
for their sixth consecutive victory,
and the Browns' eleventh defeat.
Washington salvaged a game out of
the Detroit series after losing three
and going Into the second division.
The Senators bunched three of their
nine hits with a couple of walks and
a useful fly in the sixth inning to
score all their runs in a 4-1 triumph.
Chuck Klein was the leading fig
ure In the National league program.
His bat led the way to a 6 to 2 vic
tory. Eddie Holley aided considerably
with five-hit pitching.
The Boston Braves, who had a day
off, bracketed with Cincinnati, were
the only ones to profit much bv
Pittsburgh's defeat. The second place
Chicago Cubs took a 9-1 beating from
the New York Giants and remained
two games behind and as far ahead
of Boston.

SAN FRANCISCO. " July 31. (AP)
Out of a bombardment of leather
gloves, America's prospective Olympic
boxing team took on a more defi
nite shape today while on the back
trail of preliminaries last night were
counted two nstlonal A. A. U. cham
pions and an Intercollegiate title
bolder In the scattering of former
contenders.
In an evening of six hours of
steady battling, which saw the pick
of the country's amateurs start out
in quest of eight places on the team,
three such outstanding favorites as
Dennis Flynn, of New Orleans, Rich
ard Carter and A. B. Werthelmer of
Buffalo, N. Y were tumbled Into the
discard. Flynn lost on a second
round technical knockout to Ray
Bohannon of the TJ. 8. Navy.
Carter, husky little negro, who
holds the 136-pound A. A. TJ. title.
and Werthelmer, intercollegiate king
In the same division, saw their
chances skid away through defests
by opponents they figured to beat,
Holman Williams, another dusky per
former, from Detroit, took Carter's
:ieasure and Werthelmer, a Syracuse
university student, was eliminated
by Fred Lynch of the Multnomah
A. C, Portland, Ore.
Other national tltleholders waled
through their first round matches
without difficulty.
The far west brought through the
largest delegation with 10 winners
In the 38 -bout program.
While upending of the three cham
plons overshadowed all other bouts,
another unexpected reversal saw Fen-
ton Gentry of Chattanooga, a Uni
versity of Virginia 173 pounder, de
feated by W. R. Hechler of Salt
Lake City. Hechler landed punches
on a two for one basis.

today in preparation for a return
to the world after seven years and
three months in prison.

dleweight champions lp of foe world
arrived from a prison road camp
last night, unguarded. He was to

short trip to the office of State Pa
role Agent Ed Whyta in San Fran
cisco. There he was to meet two
sisters from Los Angeles and to re
ceive the parole papers which will

FLUKEY KNOCKOUT
Ring generalship saved Leo Lomskl,
"the Aberdeen Assassin," from de
feat or a draw, last night at the
Armory, In a bitter battle with
Jack McCarthy of San Francisco.
Floored for a count of nine In
the first round and slapped to his
knees In the second and third.
Lomskl rushed across the ring, as
the bell sounded for the fourth
canto, and sent a crushing left to
McCarthy's Jaw. The younger foe
sprawled on the canvas, and was
counted out. McCarthy was listen
ing to some advice from a second,
when Lomskl sprang hi ruse. The
advice was never used.
McCarthy had a clear lead In the
first and second rounds, and plas'
tered Lomskl's head and mid -sect ion
with resounding whacks. In the
third Lomskl solved his style of
battle, and the 'Frisco Irishman
started to miss. Then came the
climax.
Lomskl gave good protection to
his bum eye, but had the other one
socked almost to the closing point.
It was a thrilling exhibition of
science and slugging, and the fight
ing heart of McCarthy left him a
favorite with the crowd, In defeat
It was the best fight staged In this
city In years, and a re-match will
probably be the bill for the next
card. A large crowd saw the fracas

WHITE OWL CIGARS
if you enjoy a good cigar, read this frank statement of facts
Ihe executives of the General Cigar Co.,
Inc., early in 1931 met to consider what
was the most important step the company
had ever been asked to take.
It was proposed to reduce the price of
the White Owl cigar, which for fourteen
years had sold at 7 cents, and up, to 5 cents.
The price reduction was to be made
without decreasing the size of the cigar, or
changing the tobacco in it. In blunt terms,
the proposal meant selling at 5 cents the
identical cigar which was then being bought
by millions at a higher price.
1 1 1
Tb speak frankly, there were misgivings
among the executives of the company
justifiable and logical misgivings.
The White Owl was a long invincible
shape. It was a long filler cigar ; not made of
scraps and broken leaves, typical of over
size 5-cent cigars.
Furthermore; the tobacco in it was the
most expensive long filler leaf that this
country grows.
To market the White Owl exactly as it
was, at 5 cents, seemed a manufacturing
impossibility.
To reduce the size, or take anything out
of the quality of the cigar, was' not for a
minute considered.
If this were done, White Owl would be
come merely another 5-cent cigar, trading
for a limited time on the name, popularity,
and prestige it enjoyed at higher prices.
111
In the face of facts and figures of produc
tion which said "No", the executives con
tinued to study the proposal because the
underlying principle of the General Cigar
Co., Inc., argued for. the reduction.
Giving the consumer the utmost which
can be delivered at a price, and still make
a profit for dealer, distributor, and manu
facturer is the basic policy of the company.
Its progress and its success have been
written in adherence to this principle.
After days of analysis of costs of produc
tion, and a far-seeing forecast of results, the
executives decided to reduce White Owl to
5 cents, and still manufacture it exactly as
it was being made.
No economy in buying tobacco aided
them. White Owl long filler tobacco had
been purchased two and three years before
they took this critical step.
But costs of production, of merchandis
ing, and of distributing, were cut by many
ingenious efficiencies.
The margins of profit of manufacturer
and distributor were narrowed. The dealer
was to pay more for White Owl than
standard 5-cent brands. All were to net
less on the sale of one cigar, and gain in
creased profit through the rapid turnover
of multiplied sales.
But basing the decision most of all on vast
output, the executives of the General Cigar
Co., Inc., in June, 1931, ordered the reduc
tion of White Owl to 5 cents.
A HE mathematical results of White Owl
at 5 cents were amazing. Within a month
it broke all cigar records for rapid
increase of consumption. In one year
the White Owls smoked have passed the
425,000,000 mark.
Smokers who smoked White Owl at
higher prices at once knew it for unmatched
smoking value. Smokers of higher priced
cigars, turning to it as a real economy,
found no let-down in smoking satisfaction.
Smokers of standard 5-cent brands flocked
to its generous size and fine appearance.
Better tobacco will tell, and White Owl
told quickly to discriminating smokers. In
turn the world saw it in the vast consump
tion of White Owls.
HeRE and there a skeptic could not believe
that it was the same 7-cent White Owl
being sold at 5 cents, and his skepticism
was not bo surprising.
Though the cigar looked the same, and
smoked the same, some men could not but
distrust a value which seemed impossible.
All the time the guarantee of the General
Cigar Co., Inc., backed up their statement
that it was the same identical White Owl.
Doubt cannot stand up in the face of qual
ity. White Owl at 5 cents established itself
at the cigar case as the same cigar which
sold 14 years at 7 cents, and up.
If one seeks the secret of how the General
Cigar Co., Inc., can manufacture a cigar
and sell it at 5 cents, which sold for 14 years
at higher prices, the answer lies in organ
ized production and vast output. It is
explained by the fact that manufacturer,
distributor, and dealer all net smaller
profit on the sale of one cigar.
In the last analysis, the consumers,
through their spontaneous co-operative buy
ing, make themselves the beneficiaries of
White Owl's price and vast consumption.
OMOKE White Owl because it is top value
in a 5-cent cigar, but never expect your
dealer to sell it for less than a nickel.
Ke cannot afford it. He pays more for
White Owl than for ordinary 5-cent cigars.
It is sold without premiums or prize con
tests. Big buyer or little buyer, the dealer
should get a full nickel for White Owl. The
price to the consumer is all in the cigar.
Purchase a few of this unique 5-cent cigar,
and smoke out the truth of White Owl.
