Aug. 7 WV-Abe Greene, president of the. nation al boxing association, has issued a warning against "sure-thing gamblers In boxing. "No one," says Abe, "except the lacey pants or here and there a sin' cere moralist, objects to an In nocent wager on the result of any contest, leastwise a boxing bout. But therein Isn't the dan ger It's in the heavy betted bout in which so much dough is Invested that the sure-thing gambler wants ' to protect his money, unless tney are curbed now, tt may be too late later." LOVE ME, LOVE MY DOG Fritz Howell, the sportswriter who departed from Manhattan to take charge of the (Pi Cleve land office, writes: "My dog, for wnicn i Pt"Q tne gooaiy sum oi $3.00 some 10 years ago, I re trieved from a dog-boarding es tablishment three days ago for $56.50, after having shipped him out here from New York." How. much does the lumber in dustry mean to the railroads and steamship lines which have huge payrolls in Oregon? For every one thousand feet of lumber manufactured and shipped, the transportation lines receive $14.06. That's why it pays you to help Keep Oregon Green.

O'Neill's Detroit Tigers took a safe, if not comfortably plump, five-game lead into Comiskey park last Friday afternoon and limped out last night thankful for a half-game shadow over on rushing Washington. Chisox Tough The White Sox hardly can be called Detroit's jinx team for the two clubs have split exactly even in 20 games with two to go. But, next to Boston, Jimmy JJyKes gang has been we rough est on the Tiger Cats. It all started with Earl Cald well, a supposedly "washed up" oldtimer who probably would be managing a team in the Texas league if things were normal Caldwell's dark magic is at its best under the arcs where he snapped the Tigers" six-game win streak in tne series opener. Orval Grove was next to catch fire at the sight of a Detroit uniform and then Bill Dietrich and Johnny Johnson teamed up on the leaders in a two-man job that was' followed by another slick -yerformance by Thornton ijee, -- ----- - Tigers Win Opener The Tigers finally pulled one out of the unfortunate (for De troit) series by whipping Ed Loiat in the onener of yester day's doubleheader, 6-2, but suc cumbed to the dark-ball special of the veteran Johnny Hum phries in the afterpiece, 7-0. It was Humphries best pitched game of the year and his first shutout. Al Benton earned his 11th vic tory of the season in the first tilt, strengthening his. position as too average hurler in the cir cuit but Zeb Eaton was unequal to the lob in the second.

Burled in seventh position, Luke Sewell's Browns find them selves faced with a tough strug gle to make the first division grade.

Y., Aug. 7 The largest field in recent years is expected to start in the Ham bletonian tomorrow when the rich stake for three-year-old trotters Is renewed over Good Time park's triangular track. The names of 15 or more of the nation's best, led by un beaten Titam Hanover, are slated to be dropped into the entry box by 11 a. m. Eastern War time, today. If as many as 15 face Starter Steve Phillips at 3 p. m., for the first two-outof-three mile heats, the race will be worth in the neighborhood of $48,000. Not since The March ioness won the major share of $53,339 in 1932 has the buggy whip Derby been of such great value. . Rain fell all day yesterday, leaving the track a quagmire. Topping today's opening card of the three-day grand circuit are the $5000 Arthur S. Tompkins Memorial for two-year-old trot ters with 15: starters and the Geers stake j for two-year-old pacers with eight nominees.

On the basis of earlier records this season the Seals should have the edge, having won 13 out of 22 from the Oaks in three series. Skipper Lefty O'Doul will send his star pitcher. Big Bob Joyce, to the mound in quest of victory No. 25 and a winning start for San Francisco. The Acorns, bolstered at several spots by the addition of new men. will use Mitch Chetkovlch on the hill. The circuit-leading Portland Beavers and the second-place Se attle Rainiers will be idle as they travel north for the last encount er of the year between the two clubs. i Portland Leads Portland, eight games in front, virtually wrapped up the title at Hollywood last week and has a chance to knot the string around the championship pack age in a three-week home stand. ; Both the Beavers and Rainiers have 55 games remaining in the last eight weeks of the season. If the front-runners only break even in their remaining contests, Seattle must win 36 and lose 19 to achieve a tie a hotter pace than they have hit all year. Sacramento's Solons, riding an 8-1 win streak over Los Angeles, appear a good bet to finish in third where they are now sta tioned 15 games off the pace but four in front of the Seals and Oaks. They will tangle this week with the sixth-place San wi mi tt an Open It: Cvntinaoas tip luVy fzinniaiuv vouns 4 1 rffe Human, And Olympic Champion Diego Padres, who dropped six out of nine to the Acorns in their last series. The tail-end . Hollywood Stars have only to repeat their per formance of two weeks ago to climb out of the cellar. Two tilts behind Los Angeles, they meet the skidding Angels whom they beat six out of seven between July 24 and 29. On the statistical side, Leo Mo larity, league record-keeper, has released some information on Frank Shone's recent 39-gaine hitting streak. The Portland out fielder began his unbroken string in the second game Me morial Day against Seattle and was halted July 26 by the same club. During this spree he col lected 59 hits in 158 official times at bat. This total included ten doubles, two triples and a home run. Shone drove 13 tallies across the plate and boasted his season's average by 47 percent age points. The Coast league consecutive game hitting record stands at 61, established by Joe DiMaggio of the Seals In 1933.
