The game was delayed for a short time in the fourth inning because of a shower. When play was resumed in the fifth inning, with the score 8 to 2 in favor of the Yankees and further rain threatening, the New York players did everything to get put out and thereby complete the required 4 1-2 innings, while the Red Sox did everything to delay the play and avoid defeat, according to President Harridge. h- rr PHILADELPHIA, Aug.

18. (JP) Mickey Walker, the Rumson, N. bulldog, made good tonight in his second comeback start by knocking out Lou roster, of Pottstown, in the second round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Arena.

Walker opened the session by buckling Poster's knees with a pair of stiff right hands.

Then he whipped the left over and the Pottstown battler- fell face forward, not moving as Referee Tommy O'Keefe tolled' the count.

Aug. 12. (JP) Whatever chance promoter Bill O'Brien had in luring Bryan "Bitay" Grant into his professional pack vanished today when the tiny Atlanta tennis star paid a return visit to Newport casino, shrine of American tennis. Grant, holder of the national rlay court title and, yesterday's eastern grass court victor at Rye, N. was mulling over O'Brien's offer of a bonus and a (200 a week salary for a nine months tour when he stepped onto this sacred turf, where the first national championship was decided 54 years ago.

He was so impressed by the casino and its glorious memories that he decided to reject O'Brien's offer and continue in amateur tennis for another year, at least. After making that decision Grant, who got his fine assortment of grav strokes under full control only a few days ago, then made his start in the 19th casino Invitation tournament by defeating Herbert L. Bowman of New York, 6-3, 6-3, in a second-round match, to uphold his fourth place seeding. The draw was topped by Prank Shields, the vacationing Hollywood film actor, who bowed to Grant at Rye. Shields headed the advance into the third round with a 7-2, 7-6 win over Lawrence Nelson of Los and was followed by all of the other stars who arrived here in time for the opening matches.

Five Davis cup players, representing fouf nations, were in the draw and all of them with success, which was unearned in the cases of Don Budge and Gen Mako. the young United States internationalists, and Enrique Maier of Spain. They were fortunate enough to move along on default but Roderick Menel of Czechoslovakia and Ouy Cheng of China were called upon to play. The Czech, ranked seventh on 4 Wallis Myers' world list. defeated Wilbur Hess of Fort Worth, the new intercollegiate champion, 7-5, 6-1, and Cheng qualified for third round play by eliminating Ogden Got-let of Newport, 6-1, 6-2.

Opinion Of Olympics (Note: The following first-hand analysis of the Olympic games outlook, now involved in considerable controversy, represents the views of an American sport editor. Bill Henry Los Angeles, who has just returned from Germany. Henry was technical director of the 1932 Olympics) By BILL HENRY (Written especially for the Associated Press) NEW YORK. Aug. 12.

(JP) Returning from Europe where everything seems to indicate the greatest success in history for the 1936 Olympic games I find It pretty difficult to adjust myself to the perfectly contrary opinion held by a large group of people in the United States. Everywhere else in the world feverish preparations are going ahead for participation In the 1936 Olympic games. The largest number of nations in Olympic history. 48 has entered. The popular demand for admission tickets, evidenced by an advance sale In the hundreds of thousands of dollars, a year In advance of the games, is obviously an indication of their financial success.

Certainly no country has ever prepared as lavishly or as thoroughly as has Germany whose plans, now nearin? completion, ere staggering in their scope. All this despite the fact that surrounding Germany on every hand tare nations which are hereditary enemies of Germany. In the light of the terrific excite-ment evidenced by some people in the United States which has. comparatively speaking, very little of this natural antagonism, the whole situation doesn't seem to make sense. The answer, of coarse, Is very simple.

Other nations recognize that political, racial and religious questions do not belong in discussion involving the Olympic games. The gentlemen charged with the responsibility of preserving the ideals of the Olympic games, the international Olympic committee, represent a wide variety of nations and are not only sealous champions of the Olympic ideals but are quite representative of world thought. As far as this immediate celebration of the games Is concerned the absence of America simply would result in loss of American athletic prestige. ANYTHING FOR A LIFT TURLOCK. Aug.

BOSTON BRAVES DETROIT, Aug. 12. (JF) Joe Louis, who says it was "just one of those things" when he missed calling his knockouts of Primo Camera and King Levinsky by one round each, is going into training before telling the world when he believes he'll put Maxie Baer away next month but the "brown bomber" is none the less confident he can turn that trick. "If I can hit him, I'll kayo him and I know I can hit him," Louis drawled today, announcing that he would start training for the Baer scrap about August 20 at a site not yet determined. "It will be my toughest fight yet," continued the 21-year-old Negro heavyweight sensation.

"But I'll take him." Joe flashed one of his rare grins when reminded he was off slightly in his previous kayo predictions. He'd said he would stop Camera in the fifth, but finished him in the sixth. He put Levinsky away in the first when he said he would win in the second. "It's kind of hard to tell, buf I try to be close," said Joe, realizing perhaps that the "boys" on Detroit's east side are reported to be making bets on the round in which "their J6e" will stop his next opponent. "I'm going to go into training before I say what round I'll stop Baer.

I know he's good, and I hope his hands are in shape so there'll be no excuses. If they ain't in. shape, it's his fault. I can't feel sorry for Baer if he ain't right, and I'll start that fight like I start all of them try to finish it as soon as possible. But it's hard to tell when it'll end you get one punch in and first thing you know it's over.

"I know Baer-says I ain't met nobody good enough to see if I can take it. But that's what they all been saying. I knock out one man and they just say it about the But I think I can take it all right.

Aug. 12. (JP) The amateur standing of Jesse Owens, Ohio State track and field star, remained unchanged tonight. The northeastern Ohio Association of the Amateur Athletic Union at a special meeting today discussed acceptance by Owens of $159 from the state of Ohio as salary for services as honorary page in the legislature. Lou N.

Bloom, president of the district A. A. issued a statement saying the board of directors was not I in possession of sufficient facts to (come to a decision, i Since it was discovered from the state auditor's books that Owens re ceived $159 since the legislature adjourned June 9 as an "honorary" page, Ohio State athletic officialrand others have said the receipt of this money in no way jeopardizes his amateur standing because his work for the legislature has no connection with athletics. They contend that other amateur athletes draw salaries on jobs which enable them to get their educations. Owens said he conferred with athletic officials in Columbus before he took the legislature money to determine if they thought it would jeopardize his amateur standing, Owens said he was advised to take it.

The local A. A. U. body nas indicated it would call Owens before it when it gets sufficient facts, in order that its investigation may be full and impartial.

Vote NRA Code On Cos. Doing Govt. Business (Continued from Pagra I) While the Walsh bill, which was passed without a record vote, seeks to set up NRA standards of hours and pay within the scope of government dealings with industry, the President was given wide authority to modify the requirement or to exempt industry entirely. Specifically the bill required that employes of any oragnization contracting to furnish supplies or services to the government or to any agency using federal funds "will be paid not less than such minimum rates of pay and employed not to exceed such maximum hours as shall be designated specifically or by reference in the invitation to bid." The invitation also would require a statement of the employer "that no person under 16 years of age and no convict labor" has been employed. Federal Reserve Banks or other such Institutions were exempt from application of the measure through a provision stating the act "shall not apply to loans to financial institutions where the funds are commingled with the funds mt the borrower and used for general business purposes."
