The Smallwood-Green battle headlines a card of five bouts at the Millvale Bowl. Smallwood's chief claim to distinction is a decision over Vince Dundee, former middleweight champion.

However, knowing of Vince's in and out performances against boxers from the hinterlands, local cauliflower fans will withhold judgment on the new middleweight contender until he shows against Green. To defeat Dundee, Smaliwood must possess a certain amount of ring craft. That he will need it tonight goes without savinsr. Green is practically a washout a hovpr but he does posses a lethal wallop in eitner hand. His T.

N. T. maulies have put him within a breath of a title Shot On numerous nrrasintis But he has always failed to capi-j talize those murderous punches of Smaliwood stands to gain little from tonight's bout, as does Green. If he beats the Homestead Dynamiter, it will be nothing more than several others have done. If Green wins it will not put him much closer to a crack at Yarosz' title than he has been before.

Green is out with avowed intention of eliminating this latest aspirant to the middleweight crown and at the same time force himself into the title picture from which he has been more or less eliminated. Smaliwood is out to prove that his victory over Dundee was no fluke and that he warrants consideration when an opponent is selected for Yarosz' title defense. So it may turn out to be a pretty fair bit of scrapping at that. A fine supporting card has been arranged by Promoter Jake Mintz that should produce some sterling fistic action. In the eight-round semi-final Carl i jT i of the golfer, but I am an arm hitter.

I make the most of my wrist motion. I stand and swing something like Hornsby, but my feet are kept closer together. I hold the bat rather loosely, but at the moment of impact, I grip the handle like a vise, as all sluggers do. Slumps are mental. The timing of the man in the slump merely is off.

The slump is prolonged because the man worries about it, and experiments. Slumps usually are brought about by the man over-striding. This causes him to start his swing late, with the result that he either misses or gets little power. Hit the ball where it is pitched and always aim to hit is straight through the pitcher's box. The various types of pitches then will have you hitting to all fields.

If you are a right-handed hitter and the pitch is on the inside, you naturally will pull the ball into left-field. If the ball is on the outside, the chances are that you'll poke it into right field.

lor The Press.) PHILADELPHIA, July 8 Good hitters have been manufactured, but the better ones are born. The best advice that I can give a youngster is to be himself at bat. The easiest way to do anything is the natural way. The secret of hitting in any sport baseball, boxing, golf, or polo is timing. Power is derived from the hands, wrists, and shoulders, but it is timing that brings this power to its maximum at the moment of impact.

Even a little fellow will sting the ball if he meets it just right, but the fellow who clears the fences, and hits hard all the time, must have a good deal of strength. While he is not exactly small, Paul Waner of the Pirates is something of an exception, for the heavy hitters year afteryear have been large men such as Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Lou Gehrig, and Al Simmons. Not only that, but they were and are unusually strong even for their size. It doesn't require any great imagination to see why they hit so hard. I started to play ball when I was 12 years old, and always have been a hard hitter.

Even when I was a kid I was strong for my, size. Batting came natural to me. If course, I improved a good deal. Uses Lighter Bat I attribute my bogging down In 1931 to the fact that I was using a 40-ounce bat, like that used by Ruth. I have been swinging a 37-ounce mace since the start of the 1932 season.

I can swing it harder and faster, and by swing it faster I have more time to look at the ball. Ruth had the true body swing -Great Golf Jones' 60 -Foot Putt Features Open in 1929 The 12-foot putt that Bobby Jones sank cn the final hole to tie Al Espinosa, generally is credited with being the shot that won the 1929 National Open at Winged Foot. However, recalling Jones' shots played in the first round, when he scored a 69, we find a putt that was just as important. It occurred on the 517-yard, par 5 fifth hole, and resulted in an eagle three after Jones had hit a brassie second 60 feet past the pin. Had Lady Luck not favored the Atlantan here, he would have finished the first round in a tie with Espinosa, taking a 70, and the final putt on the final round would have been in vain.

There then would have been no need of the playoff the next day, in which Bobby overwhelmed Al. At the height of his career, Jones without doubt was the best putter among competing golfers. It was his club called Calamity Jane that won many tournaments. WHEN PUTYiN cose NEA When swinging his putter, Jones takes a comfortable stance, with the feet close together. He stands naturally, and bends just enough to reach the ball with the club.

In the backswing, the club is taken to the rear with the left hand. If the right is used too much in bringing the club back, the putter is lifted, and a long, smooth, unhurried stroke is impossible.

Sandlot Results BASEBALL Battle By PAUL KURTZ There's more zip in the old City Sandlot Baseball League these days. The return of the youthful, speedy Dormont-Mt. Lebanon team is the major reason. Sandlot patrons were enthused over the smartness of the City League magnates when they finally decided to again include the Dor-monters in their competition for the second-half campaign. They knew something was direly needed to restore that interest and scrap which made the circuit such an attraction in years past.

And what teams should now be battling for supremacy but those "grudge-matchers' Buchs and Dor mont. The Mbunties just couldn't swing into a consistent winning stride during the first half when the hitters weren't connecting at the right time, and the fielders were committing their bobbles at crucial moments. But the Buchs have returned to greatly improved form with their moundsmen still flashing ability and the batsmen blossoming into better hitting strides. The Mounties, eager to comeback after starting so unimpressively, have stepped ahead with three straight conquests to be the only undefeated club in the loop. Along Came Carnegie Similarly, the Dormonters, who had just about cracked the Pittsburgh Independent League wide open by their winning maneuvers, continued their excellent work in copping their first two games in City rivalry.

Just as the Suburban-its were expectant of being on an even basis with the Mounties along came the rejuvenated Carnegie tossers to burst the Dormont bubble. It's no secret that the Dormonters withdrew from the City loop in mid-term last year because of their views concerning the eligibility of "Rhiney" Kress who had left the Suburbanites and then joined the Buch aggregation. There was a breach of difference between these formidable rivals which was not bridged until a few weeks ago when it was deemed advisable to have the Dormonters back in the family. Featuring tonight's City League schedule of three matches will be the first appearance of the remodeled Dormont team against the Buchs at Olympia Park, Mt. Washington, while Mellons grapple with Houstons at Frick Park and Carnegie is at home with Swissvale.

When the Dormonters trot out again on Olympia diamond, they will be without Billy Fuchs, their manager, who eecorted a party of friends to the major league's All- star game at Cleveland this afternoon. In the Crarton-Ingram Church League tonight, Crafton Presbys will clash with Crafton Methodists, first-half champions. The all-star Bellevue-North Side Trader team will battle the North Side Jednota club at Oliver High Field. One game is slated in the North Hills League with Glenshaw visiting St. Anthonys at Troy Hill Playground.

The third annual game between all-star baseball teams representing tha Eastern and Western Sections of the Negro National League at Comiskey Park, Chicago, on Aug. 11 is expected to set a new attendance record. Two years ago when the first match was staged, 20,000 fans attended. Last year there were 25,000 in the stands and the sponsors are confident nearly 35,000 will attend the classic early next month. The original promoters of this annual clash, W.

A. Greenlee, R. A. Cole and Thomas T. Wilson, are contributing their allotted monetary shares toward a fund to be set for emergencies affecting players and owners.

The players, too, will assist in helping this movement so organized baseball among Negroes can succeed. Enrolled In West Group Players from the Pittsburgh Craw-fords, Homestead Grays, Nashville-Columbus Elite Giants and American Giants of Chicago will represent the Western Section. In the Eastern Division, the pastimers will be chosen from the Philadelphia Stars, last year's champions; Newark Dodgers, Brooklyn Eagles and New York Cubans. Voting upon players, Chairman Greenlee maintains, must be confined to league members and closes Aug. 3.

Those players ranking high include Radcliffe, Wells and Stearns of Chicago; Snow and the Wright brothers, along with Willis, Porter and Griffin of Nashville-Columbus; J. Bell, Bankhead, Gibson, Patterson, "Satchell" Paige, Hunter and Matlock of the Crawfords; and Benjamin, Leonard, Carlisle and Brown of the Homestead Grays in the Western circuit. (Advertisement There have been excellent dead left or right-field hitters. Stuffy Mclnnis of the old Athletics was a dead left-field hitter. Hal Ttrosky of the Indians is a dead right-field hitter.

Learn to Pull Ball But it's difficult to compile a .360 average, when a defense can be built against you. When the defense is set against you, it is wise to deliberately pull the ball in the opposite direction. It frequently is unwise to attempt to teach a youngster to do this, however. It might cause him to stand or swing unnaturally, when naturalness is his strongest asset. Follow curves.

The defense expects right-handed hitters to swat a curve ball toward right field. When you get so you can do it you can cross the opposing players and catch them leaning the other way by deliberately pulling the ball toward left field. I quit trying to get the pitcher in the hole following the rather poor season I experienced in 1931. Prior to that I had been advised to hit only fast balls. It was poor advice.

When the count was three and one or something like that I'd take good pitches. Now I hit everything that comes over the plat fast ones, slow ones, nothing balls, and whatnot. Too many good balls sail by while you are looking for a cripple. Knowing that I'll hit any ball that is over the rubber, pitchers bear down against me at all times. This frequently results in a base on balls as they try to put too much stuff on theb all.

Power hitters have keen batting eyes, perfect timing, end great strength. NEXT: Bill Terry tells how he manages the New York Giants. (Continued from Preceding- Page) of negative votes and those aren't the only positions under fire. Arky Vaughan of the Pirates will be at shortstop and Paul Waner will get a chance in right field before the sun goes down. There's a fellow named Lloyd Waner who is doing: right well in center field this year but he isn't to be on the field.

Pittsburgh would have had a third man in Cy Blanton if it hadn't been for his appendix acting- up and rendering: him hors de combat. I think the crowd will get its biggest thrill watching Dizzy Dean, who, in spite of his poppings off, will start, according to Frisch. The Diz has shown an inability to smile when they part his hair this season and will be interesting to see what he does out there today. Whatever it is, it will be interesting to see, will be out of the ordinary, and if the young fellar steps on the parapet with the idea that this would be a pretty good time to show the Ohio folks something, the Americans will have a plate full of smoke to hit. Mr.

Cochrane will attest to this and it is one of the reasons why the National League is on the long end of the betting. New Boat Head NEW YORK, July 8 Paul B. S. Sawyer, a Yale junior, was elected commodore of the Eastern Intercollegiate Outboard Association.

Temple Gridders Play Ten Games PHILADELPHIA, July 8 Temple University has scheduled a football game on Friday, Sept. 20, in Temple Stadium with St. Joseph's College. The addtional game gives Pop Warner's Temple eleven 10 games this season. By ROBERT C.

DOWSON United Press Staff Writer LONDON, July 8 Experts last night conceded America excellent chances in the approaching Davis Cup and Wightman Cup matches, while the tennis world still discussed enthusiastically Mrs. Helen Wills Moody's thrilling victory over Helen Jacobs in the grand finale of the Wimbledon championships, By VOLNEY WALSH Like the milk you forget to put In the icebox the.se hot nights, the Pirate pitching staff is becoming very sour, it reached a new low in sourness yesterday when the Cubs smashed out a 13-1 victory bet ore a crowd that became very disgusted indeed with the turn of events at Forbes Field. Big Jim Weaver, Ralph Birkofer and some of the other boys on Pie Traynor's limited staff of eight have been knocked out more times than Phil Scott. It's been so long since Big Jim has had a good game in his system that most of the customers have lost trace of the date. That Appendix Again This sad state of affairs can he blamed on Cy Blanton's appendix since that seems as good a thing as any on which to place the blame.

While Blanton was hospitaling for two weeks, the Pirate pitchers were overworked. Six of them worked their heads off and the recent exhibitions may be the reaction just setting in. For two years now the Pirates have had pitching staffs that folded up in July and August. Blanton, Weaver and Bush were expected to put an end to that sort of thing. But here it is July again and the Pirate pitchers as sour as last July and the July before that and the July before that.

The two days of rest the All-Star game provides may help straighten things out before the Giants arrive for a four-game series Wednesday. Tomorrow, however, the Pirates will tune up for the Giants with an exhibition game at Clearfield. Blanton Knocked Out Even Blanton felt the sting of the Cub bats yesterday and was driven off the mound for his seventh loss of the season. It was a dandy ball game for three innings with Blanton and Bill Lee exchanging courtesies on the mound. In the second inning, Arky Vaughan stretched a single into a double, raced to third on a fly to Klein and home on a fly to Lindstrom, his base-running giving Blanton a 1-0 lead.

Then Blanton suddenly fell apart in the fourth. He fanned Hack. Then Hartnett got a double when Lloyd Waner failed in an effort to make a shoestring catch. Blanton next split one of Freddie Lind-strom's fingers with a pitch and from that moment on was in distress. Klein was retired, but Cy walked English, which was a terrible mistake and sure evidence that he didn't have control.

Jurges, who get four hits, slashed a single to center, scoring two, and Pitcher Lee whacked a double into left, scoring two more. All this happened after two were out. Biff Parade Starts Exit Blanton and enter the string of relief workers. They started with Mace Brown, who gave four runs; Birkofer, who yielded three, and Weaver, who was touched for two. Lee allowed only seven hits.

It was the first complete game he had pitched in his last eight starts. The Bucs kayoed him in the first inning the last time they faced him. It also was the Cubs' eighth victory in 11 starts against the Pirates. Phil Cavarretta, Cub first sacker, was ill and Hack did a nice job of substituting for him. Slow Music! CHICAGO An.

here tonight. There's a new champion in the O'Loughlin family today. He is Dr. John O'Loughlin and he succeeds Dr. Dave O'Loughlin as Allegheny County tennis singles champion.

In the all-O'Loughlin final of the men's singles competition in the county tournament on the Westinghouse Club courts yesterday, Dr. John defeated Dr. Dave, A. I if i '3 I VI I By LESTER BIEDERMAN Press Staff Writer CLEVELAND, July 8 If you care to believe all you hear from I those who say they know what's going on in the fight racket then Teddy Yarosz will make the first defense of his middleweight title against Babe Risko and win, lose or draw, the Monaca boy will get plenty of sugar for his share. That's what they're shouting here as Pittsburgh Sportsmens Enter- i prises, stands by ready to throw on their fight card tonignt at tne Municipal SUdium.

Five 10-round-ers are on t're program. Babe Risko, the only fellow who ever knocked out Yarosz, is in the headline attraction paired with Cleveland's popular Paul Pirrone. The winner is supposed to meet Yarosz with the latter's title at stake. And this is the way it's to go, say the boys who claim to have an ear to the ground. Risko Picked to Win Risko is to reverse a previous defeat at the hands of Pirrone and climb into the driver's seat as far as challenger number one is concerned for Yarosz opponent.

Yarosz will get a guarantee of $25,000 for his end. If he loses the championship to Risko then Babe's mob will fork over $10,000 more to appease Ted's mind and pocketbook. Whether the middleweight championship will be staged in Pittsburgh is still to be settled. Ray Foutts, who is on the scene here with his titleholder, openly demands a guarantee of $35,000 with a privilege of per cent. Sport-menis Enterprises, flatly refuse to do any bargaining with Foutts under those terms.

In fact they haven't even approached Foutts about Ted defending his crown, knowing what Yarosz manager is asking and probably won't care to talk turkey until Foutts comes down quite a bit in his demands. Pirrone could certainly put the kibosh on this whole mess by beating Risko this evening. In Cleveland they're betting 2-1 that Punching Paul does it. In that event Pirrone might figure in a scrap for the crown against Yarosz in Cleveland, providing fat Eddie Mead, Pirrone's manager, can dig up a money man. Plan Title Bout Here Labor Day will find Sportmens Enterprise promoting some kind of a title battle at Forbes Field and if it isn't Yarsoz and Risko it will be John Henry Lewis and Bob Olin.

John Henry, who now makes his home in Pittsburgh and is under the management of Gus Greenlee, is rated the best light heavyweight in the world. He meets Lou Poster of Pottstown, tonight in another ten rounder and is doped to knock out his foe, thus furthering his claims for the title. The other three ten rounders 'on the card tonight find Eddie Simms of Cleveland opposing Lew Tendler's heavyweight, Al Ettore, from Philadelphia; Steve Halaiko and Cleto Locatelli squaring off in a lightweight match, and Frankie Bat-taglia, scourge of the middleweight division because of his list of kayoes, fighting Lou Halper, a particular Cleveland favorite. The bouts are scheduled to begin at eight o'clock Cleveland time and Tony Wakeman will be a the microphone for KQV. 8, 1935 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION YESTERDAY'S UESLXTS Milwankee OOO OOO OOO ft' 5 3 Columbus 30O 201 OOi ft lO 1 Batteries Pnlli.

Minor Leagues' Summaries Mrs. Moody's brilliant showing in capturing her seventh Wimbledon title is expected to assure her handling a singles assignment on the Wightman Cup team which opposes a sextette of stellar British women players at Forest Hills, N. August 16-17. And despite the most disastrous showing of United States men players at Wimbledon since 1926, the American Davis Cup squad is generally rated strong enough to beat either Germany or Czechoslovakia in the inner-zone final and give defending England stiff opposition in the challenge round. Mrs.

Moody, who expects to remain in England for a week or so, may provide the additional strength that will topple the British Wight-man Cuppers, particularly since the withdrawal of England's No. 1 player, Miss Dorothy Round. However, British enthusiasts believe the presence of Miss Katherine Stammers in the singles, and Miss Freda James and Miss Stammers in doubles, will form a keystone of menacing strength on the English team. Misses James and Stammers won the Wimbledon doubles title. Although none of the American Davis Cuppers gained a Wimbledon title, the unexpectedly impressive play of young Donald Budge in singles and the strength of Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn in the doubles was encouraging.

Wilbur Coen Wins In Western Tennis CHICAGO, July 8 Wilbur Coen, Kansas Citj yesterday won a straight sets victory in the final round of the men's singles of the Western tennis tournament, defeating John McDiarmid, Chicago, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.

Last year it was just the other way around. In another all-O'Loughlin final, Dr.

Dave defeated Dr. John. Yesterday's five sets to settle the championship were hard, long, drawn-out affairs that taxed the endurance of both players on a sultry, sun-swept afternoon. Dr. Dave weakened in the last two sets to allow his brother to forge ahead.

In the women's singles finale, also played yesterday, a parallel case arose as Mrs. Jean Artzberger, runner-up last year, defeated Dolly Harris, favorite and defending champion, for the singles crown, 6-1, 6-4. Not satisfied with one championship, Mrs. Artzberger then teamed with Bobby Madden, the University of Pittsburgh sensation, to win the mixed doubles title. Odette Doug-ereau and William J.

Clardy teamed to sto pthe Artzberger-Madden duo, but failed to the tune of 6-3, 6-4. The men's doubles finals will be played next Friday. Dr. David O'Loughlin will team with Dr. John to oppose Bobby Grier and Paul Massey.

The O'Loughlins are the defending champions. The match was originally scheduled for Independence Day but was rained out. Charles Lockhart and Sam Harbison won the Allegheny Country Club tennis championship yesterday when they defeated David Gilmore and Charles A. Woods, 3-6. 6-2, 6-1, 8-6, in doubles competition.

Even my heart hurt.

A friend suggested Adlerika. The first dose I took brought me relief. Now I eat as I wish, sleep fine and better." Mrs. Jas. Filler never felt CONSTIPATED 30 YEARS "For thirty years 1 had chronic consti- fation.

Sometimes did not. go for four or five days. I also had awful gas bloating, headaches and pains in the back. Adlerika helped right away. Now.

I eat sausage, bananas. pie, any- thine I want and never felt bet- ter. I sleep soundly all night and Mrs. M. Annapolis, Md.

If You Toss in Bed and Can't Rest or Sleep If You Are Always Bloated and Short of Breath, Due to GAS, Read This. If you want to really GET RID OF GAS and terrible bloating, don't expect to do it by just doctoring your stomach with harsh, irritating alkalies and "gas tablets." Most GAS is lodged in the upper bowel and is due to old, decayed, poisonous matter in the constipated bowels, that are loaded with ill causing bacteria. Even slight constipation allows intestinal bacteria to multiply into millions causing food decay and GAS. But if your constipation is of long standing, enormous quantities of dangerous bacteria accumulate. Then your digestion is upset.

Gas often presses heart and lungs, making life miserable. You can't eat. You can't sleep. Your head aches. Your back aches.

Your complexion is sallow and pimply. Your breath is foul. You are a sick, grouchy, wretched, unhappy person. YOUR SYSTEM IS POISONED. Thousands of suffering men and women have found In Adlerika the quick, scientific way to rid their systems of harmful bacteria.

Adlerika, acting in combination with natural digestive juices, rids you of OAS and cleans foul poisons out of BOTH upper and lower bowels. In one clinical test Adlerika lowered the bacteria count in waste matter from 4,000,000 to only 167,000. Dr. H. L.

Shonb of New York City, who conducted the test, says: "In addition to intestinal Adlerika greatly reduces bacteria and colon bacilli." If your favorite laxative is worn out and no longer effective, give your stomach and bowels a real cleansing with Adlerika. Get rid of harmful bacteria quickly, safely, scientifically. Adlerika never gripes is not habit forming, entirely safe. Recommended by all druggists and drug departments.
