The Red Peppers were sent through a hard scrimmage in Tuesday's rain although the varsity lineup was riddled somewhat by absentees and minor hurts which" are being rested up and given chances to recuperate before the Red Bird encounter. Reinforcing of the Red Pepper defense to fit the slashing attack which Columbus features this year, and a polishing of the Red Pepper attack are the major items on the bill of fare this week. The Akronites scored 26 points against Barberton last Friday but half of these were due to intercepting of Barberton passes.

Crandall just enrolled at East this fall and has had some difficulty juggling his schedule so that he might Join the Oriental grid team. Columbus Gritlders Battle Welch A. C. With Gerald Ball and Al Spayne out of the varsity backfield during this week's practice sessions, Sammy Kay and Albie Davis, newcomers, are being given opportunities to show their stuff. It is likely that a couple changes will be made in the forward wall and one of these may be at center where Bruce Dando, veteran, is showing signs of outgrowing his place on the team.

Glenn Switzer, blocking halfback, has turned in his suit, unable to keep down to weight without extraordinary means. The Red PeD-per coaches will not permit starvation diets or steam baths to be used to hold the boys below the league weight limits. THERE Is plenty of interest in the Columbus game. The advance seat sale promises to set an early season record. Columbus gave the Red Peppers a great fight last year, bowing by only 8-0, with the touchdown not coming until the final minutes of This year the Red Birds are entirely veteran, with only two last-year players missing from their squad.

The outfit is unscored upon and has rolled up 49 points in two games. To facilitate the sale of tickets for the Friday battle and to eliminate the crush at the gates as much as possible, advance ticket sale is being conducted at the Mayflower hotel. Hub Cigar Store, Central Hardware, Hamilton Cigar Store, Rossett's Athletic Goods Store and Sun Radio as well as at the Beacon Journal office. Earl Cornmesser Joins Local Team For Sunday Tilt With Packards Columbus Packards will provide the opposition for the Welch A. C.

when the local gridmen make their second start of the season Sunday afternoon at League park. The Packards last year won the heavyweight championship of the Capitol City and their lineup includes both former college and high school stars. The change back to afternoon games was made because of cool weather that has been ideal for football. Another local high school product was added to the Welch A. C.

squad Monday night when Earl Cornmesser former Central high and Ohio Northern star reported to Coach Bill Klein for a tryout. Cornmesser has been playing at Ohio Northern but because of work here he is not returning to school. A Junior last year Cornmesser was rated All-Ohio center by many sport scribes. He is an expert passer and a good blocker on the offense while his tackling on the defense drew him favorable comment in the Northern-Army game last year. Bill Tayman has been regular center for the last two seasons and is an experienced semi-pro player.

Beacon Journal Sporta Editor IF YOU were one of those wondering what Sally Rand would do when the World's Fair comes to an end, please worry no more. A brand new field has been opened up for our unusual entertainers. It is football. I don't know whether Sally of fan dance fame would qualify for the title of "morale builder" on one of the Big Ten squads, as Kenneth Rasmussen of Cleveland has done down at Ohio State, but these big universities certainly are smart enough to think up some other name for her if that one doesn't fit. Rasmussen, sophomore, has been attached to the Ohio State squad as singing waiter, or depression chaser, or whatever you want to call it.

He is supposed to play the piano, sing, tell good stories and radiate sunshine for the tired Buckeyes when they come off the field. He goes into his act when the boys gather 'round after practice. It is some kind of psychological experiment, the university points out. SOMEBODY down there at Columbus has been seeing too many college movies. Most any day now we may expect the Ohio State move to be trumped by the addition of a ballet and chorus to some rival grid outfit.

At that it wouldn't be so bad to sit on the 50-yard line and watch a group of Follies eligibles go through kicking exercises before and between halves of a Wolverine-Buckeye classic. THE GIANTS took a 12-3 shellacking at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday and won the National league pennant. This being one of the most topsy-turvy of all sports years, that is about the way one would expect this National league race to end. Having apparently lost the punch to score victories of their own, the Giants had to wait until late Tuesday afternoon for the Pirates to lose to the Phillies, 3-2, in the second game of a dou-bleheader and thus drop themselves out of contending position.

The Giants now can lose their nine remaining games and finish with 89 wins, 64 losses and a mark of Pittsburgh's 89 wins, 63 losses and .578 mark, providing the Pirates win all their remaining games. ONE MUST take off his hat to the Giants. They were a sixth place team at the finish of last season. They had a new and young manager without previous managerial experience. Yet Bill Terry traded, bought and sold players during the winter until he had the team he wanted.

This outfit has fought for him ail season and with a spirit that would do justice to a college outfit. Spirit, and good pitching won for the Giants. Hal Schumacher, Bud Parmelee, Fred Fitzsimmons and Carl Hubbell made up the regular mound staff. The surprising development of Parmelee and Schumacher played a tremendous part in the Giants' pennant fight. BUT spirit was the big thing.

Terry, the leading hitter, was injured for a while but the club carried on. Blondy Ryan, the sensational young shortstop, was injured fof a while and the club went into a minor slump. It snapped out of it upon receipt of a telegram from Ryan in which the youngster said tersely "They can't beat us. Am coming," or words to that effect, as he left to join the team in thewest to play despite a bad spike wound. Later in the season Johnny Vergez, star third sacker, went to the hospital, out of play for the remainder of the campaign.

And Travis Jackson went into action at the hot corner, despite his bad legs, and filled the post to satisfaction. Despite torrid competition from the Pirates, Cubs, Cardinals and for a while, the Braves, the Giants never gave up first place after June 10 and were never below third place at any time during the campaign. And that is quite a record for a young manager with a green outfit which was rated for seventh place at the outset of the campaign. GOOD OLD Equipoise will never have the chance to lead the list of money winners of the turf. The announcement today that Ekky will be retired after one more race set for Sept.

strikes a sorrowful chord in the makeup of race enthusiasts. Equipoise has earned $320,970 thus far against $328.1 fij for Gallant Fox, $332,250 for the great Australian gelding, Thar Lap. and $376,744 for Sun Beau, the leader of them all. The Havre De Grace handicap, Equipoise's last race, will be worth about $20,000 to the winner and Ekky, if triumphant, could move into second place on the list. Equipoise ran his first race on April 7, 1930.

He earned $156,835 that year. He went wrong on the morning of the Kentucky Derby of 1931, so it is said, and did not start. He made only $3,000 in three starts that year. Last season he won $107,375 and he has won $53,760 thus far this season. His largest puree was $50,3110, won when he defeated Twenty Grand and Mate in deep mud in the Pimlico Futurity in 1930.

YOU CAN'T BLUFF these Blul'fton High school hoys. The Bluffton High grid team lost 4o Lima last Saturday the fourth loss in four years and yesterday the entire squad went on strike, turned in its uniforms and accused Lawrence White, jipw ennch, of inefficiency. The players were called before the school board and so was White. The players said they would not play as long as White held his job. White said the team lost because the boys wouldn't cooperate with him.

AN ENTRANT charges that a group of men doped him and other swimmers in the recent Toronto 15-mile swim and then threatened his life because he "knew too much" about their activities. Federal operators make more wholesale arrests at various racing plants, charging that swipes, touts, gamblers and trainers doped certain horses. Tommy Lougliran is threatened that unless he pays $10,000 at once he will never get to fight Jack Sharkey, or anybody else. Tennis is being torn apart and shown up in a crooked light with grave charges of our so-called amateur players being members of a well-paid professional ring. Football is being candled and findings are that players are posing as amateurs and playing as professionals.

Golf is being kept under constant suspicion since the news leaked out that many players and some club officials are deliberately falsifying their scores, Baseball is not above suspicion since the scandal of 1919 and as time for the World Series approaches, there are more and more stories about alleged baseball crookedness. Box seats the only reserved scats at the games can be purchased only at the Beacon Journal business office. Telephone reservations will be made but the tickets must be claimed by noon Friday. Holders of box seat tickets will not have to go to the park hours before game time in order to get seats. In the event all box seats ar sold for this classic, special chait seats will be placed on the track in front of the grandstand.

ttr jgf jf Jt AM Gorilla Given Fourth Ranking Iii List Of Middleweight Pugs n. B. A. Ranks isrouoiiard ASK TO SEE Macks Beat Tigers First; Neglects Ben Jeby, Marcel Thil By JAMES W. SCHLEMMER NOT that it makes much difference but the National Boxing association yesterday issued its new rankings lor the year and placed Gorilla Jones fourth among the middleweights.

Jones is the former Akron fighter who followed his manager, Suey Welch, to California to hide out for a year after his fake fight with Ben Jcby at Cleveland last April. Jones and Welch are banned until next April 22 in N. B. A. territory.

But he's In the fold now, and Smith made it known that he is golnj; to utilize Crandall with the flirt striniccrs by putting- him to work with the varsity backs in the scrimmage Tuesday. Making room for Crandall in the lineup. Smith shifted Little, starting fullback in the Ashland game, to a guard position. Little will drop back into the backfield to handle the East punting. Another backfield change made by Smith Tuesday and which probably will hold up was the placing of Walker at quarterback to replace Augustine.

Augustine handled the signal calling In the Ashland game none too satisfactorily in Smith's estimation, and it is believed by the insertion of Walker as signal barker the East ball toting attack will be strengthened considerably. Teaming up with Walker and Crandall in the backfield will be McCombs and Stager, both of whom participated in the Ashland fray. Kcsselring, Oriental right end, who injured his back In the Ashland contest, will be shifted to left nd and William Hicks and Jim Appleby will fight it out for Kessel-ring's right flank position. Another change likely in the East lineup will see Jack Mostyn, veteran center of last season, removed from the pivot post. About thrw years aeo Rodyen Krhenz and Mike Krlno were battling- for a center position on the Fast line, and now their brothers, Tommy Srhrnz and Alex Krino are in 'the same boat, both waging a fight to replace Mostyn at center.

Smith lays the blame for the defeat at Ashland chiefly on the fact that his warriors failed to block efiectivcly, and with this in mind he is stressing blocking in the practice skirmishes this week. East was originally scheduled to play Akron university Reserves at Seiberling field Saturday afternoon, but this game may be cancelled, according to athletic officials. Either Milkrsburg or Sandusky high school may replace the Zipper reserves for the Saturday engagement. Both schools have been in communication with East, asking to play here Saturday, and a definite announcement on the game will be forthcrming Thursday. A schedule of five games is being drafted for Cy Woolcock's East reserves with the opener tentatively scheduled with Canton McKinley as a pieliniiiiHiy to the game Sept.

30. Other games will be carded with reserve teams of Akron high schools and will be played prior to regular varsity clashes. MARION NIX was back at his regular quartcr'oacking berth ns Central high pigskin carriers were sent through an intensive drill by Coach Andy Porosky Tuesday. Nix, fully ree'vered from ivy poisoning, is ready to play regularly with the Wildcats and will call signals in the Central-Canton McKin-ley encounter Saturday. No other change in the Central backfield is contemplated by Porosky.

Monzo and Ramsay will remain at halves and Joe Zemla at fullback. Salhany is on the Central invalid list with a sore ankle, but is expected to be ready for the Canton game. Salhany's place at right tackle was taken by Rowles in the Tuesday practice. Cantcn will present a veteran aggregation to match the Central gridders who have 10 lcttermen on their team. Coach Jimmy Aiken's bovs, however, will outweigh the Wildcats, the Canton line tipping the scales at 177 as compared to a'oout 153 for the Centralites while the McKinley backfield averages 168, 10 pounds heavier than that of Central.

Jcby never was a champion except in the eyes of New York state commissioners and Thil never can be a middlweight again without taking off a couple arms. The recognition given Brouillard by the N. B. A. shows that closer harmony is prevailing between the N.
