BILL TIFMR WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, 193S.

The Solons, who had been beaten twenty-one times out of twenty, seven by Los Angeles during the regular season, unloaded a heavy attack that included two home runs and walloped Truck Hannah's champion Angels, 10-6, in. the opener of the President's Cup scries. 4 And the contest was more lopsided than the score would indi- cate, the Angels putting across five runs in the ninth inning to make their defeat look less em- phatic.

PRIM POINDED A small turnout of about 2500 -fans saw Bill Killefer's Solons pound Southpaw Ray Trim to the showers and pile up a 61 lead in the first six innings. Dutch Lieber and Guy Bush followed Trim to the mound and the trio of Angel pitchers was touched for fourteen hits. Tony Frcitas, the Sacs' little Relief at last!

A TOUGH COURSE Granny Rice, just back from the national golf, says' that Pat Abbott was licked mostly by the length of the course which has several 475-yard holes with four-stroke par Tat just couldn't hit 'em far enough When they went into the finals Turnesa was twenty-five strokes worse than par and Abbott was forty-six strokes to the bad which indicates either that the course was too tough or the golf was bad probably a trifle of both but mostly the former One of the wire operators those guys have great memories says this rain reminds him of the time they held a big golf tournament at Garden City and the wind and rain blew the press tent down and six operators started homo in an open car which broke down in the middle of a puddle and left 'em marooned all night Happy thought from Grantland Rice and Ted Hits- ing If the rain keeps up it gives us an excuse to stop off at Minneapolis to see Washington play Minnesota next Saturday. SAYS J. DEMPSEY Over to Jack Dempsey's for a bite to eat and Jack says that he'll be voyaging to the Coast pretty soon He's going all right with his cafes and draws big crowds in the eve-rings when he shows movies of his early fights Remember when Dempsey ployed a couple of straight parts in pictures? He shows those too and says he's going to kill 'em one of these days when he shows himself starring in a serial made back In the early twenties Says he falls over in a fit laughing at it when he shows it privately and he knows the crowd will like it. rOLlTK PUGILISM Dempsey says the fight, game has gone sissy "Nowadays you are supposed to tip your hat any say 'I beg your pahdon'" when you sock your opponent Says the crowds prefer the old rough-house stuff and like pictures of his fight with Firpo best of all He thinks Sailor Hill Boyd may develop into a good heavyweight contender Says that if they can't find anybody tough enough to take Jack Roper out at Hollywood. Red Burman will do it Harry Jeffra, ex-bantamweight boxing king, dropped in and says he thinks he might pick up the featherweight title just abandoned by Henry Armstrong.

Arroyo, had a skull session Tuesday morning, scrimmaged after lunch, and went back to the hotel for another night's rest last evening.

Today they resume firing in their old haunts. BA.HA PLAYS CLICK For. the better part of two hours Howard Jones ran his full squad through heavy drill. Working on defense against Ala-bama plays the varsity was not impressive. The second team did far better.

When the varsity took to packing the ball it was a simple matter to smash down the field sixty yards for a touchdown in seven plays. Offensively the boys are about ready for Alabama. Defensively their tackling must improve or Charley Holm will smash them wide open. Jones started Fisk, Stoecker, Smith, McNeil, Sohn, Gaspar and Stonehraker on the varsity line and Lansdell, Hoffman, Morgan and Peccianti in the backfield. PASS RINGS BELL It took the Spartans, bossed by Sam Barry and skippered by Bob Berryman, twenty minutes to a first down, but all the time Berryman was nicking the varsity line for more gains than seemed right to Mr.

Jones. Finally an end-around brought the initial first down on the 20- yard stripe and then Berryman fired a perfect pass to Snyder for a touchdown. Later Dick Berryman caught some of his younger brother's fire and snorted through center for twenty yards with Messrs. McNeil and Smith trying franti cally to bring him down. When the so-called second string finished its drill Mr.

Three double plays helped Frcitas ease to victory in spite of the barrage of Angel hits. "Boom Paul" Carpenter, the young Angel outfielder, was the big hitter of the day with a double and four singles in five times at bat. Johnny Vereei and Bill James hit homers for Sacramento in the fourth inning when the Solons rapped Prim for four tallies.

SOLONS SCORE After hurling hitlcss ball and fanning three in the first two rounds, Prim started losing hi stuff in the third when, with two away, the Sacs shoved over a run. Frcitas walked and came all the way around as Marshall doubled off the bleacher screen. Killefer's Killers really put on a bombardment in the fourth, -driving over four runs with a quartet of lusty wallops that included homers by Vergez and James. One was out when Vergez poled one over the left field bricks, after which Orenga singled. Cullop doubled down the third base line.

Orengo came in as Cihocki threw out Franks, on a high bouncer. Then came James's smash over the left field, wall to make it 5-0. TWO DOUBLES The Angels broke through" Freitas for a run in the fourth when Russell and English hit1 successive doubles. Cihocki hit-into a double play, so Collins'3 single was wasted. Both Prim and Skipper Hannah were chased out of the ball game in the sixth, which saw the Sacs pick up another tally.

Coach Frank Thomas had planned an after noon workout here but the Argonaut was delayed two hour because of a slight mix-up with' a Texas heifer. Arriving in El Paso at 9 o'clock, Thomas or. dered his players out for an if o'clock practice that lasted al-' most two hours. Hal Hughes, Herky Mosley and Charley Boswell, who later retired for some foot put on their best exhibition ot punting of the year.

Both Mosley and Boswell were. getting more accuracy and dls ly or figuratively, without bene- tit of previous experience. BIC, BRKAK FOR BOYS Scheduling of the post-supper exercises was loudly applauded by the Bruins. It was a real treat for them to flex their muscles and bang into each other in the cool of the night after laboring under a broiling sun ever since practice opened two weeks ago. The squad worked briskly, indicating that they're getting on edge for their meeting with the emissaries from the Big Ten.

The varsities scrimmaged the scrubs for two bours, only Jack Sommers and Mladin Zarublca taking it easy after their yeoman work the day before. Buck Gil-more ran the rebels silly, scoring three touchdowns, two of them on 50-yard runs with intercepted passes. The rest of the nine-touchdown crop was plucked off by Merle Harris and Georgie Crouch Stops Peters Technical Knockout Scored in Seventh at Olympic Auditorium BY JACK SINCFR Nick (the Creek) Tcters, the bad man from the bad lands of Texas, found the glove bug will last niRht.

EVES SWOLLEN If Crouch. Licorice Lightning, had needles In his gloves Peters would have looked like a pin cushion. The gritty Greek, led by Referee Callahan, groped his way back to his corner, his pitifully swollen left eye bearing the sign: "Do Not Open Until Xmns" and his right eye also almost closed tight. The fidgety, jittery Peters, who fights with every nerve in his body, did all the leading from the opening gong to the finish.

But all he was leading to was a graveyard. Nick the Greek gambled everything on a windmill body attack which he hoped would chase the sleek Negro into a shell? but he threw nothing but "snake eyes." CROUCH DEADLY A sculptor with his left hand, the frozen-faced Crouch carved out an edge in every round but the second as he caught Peters Iwiring in with short, jolting left and right uppercuts. Shaking weirdly from side to side, his head and body performing a St. Vitus dance, the nervous Greek clawed viciously to the body but Crouch, counter-punching insolently, pierced him with ripping uppercuts and chopping rights.

as though Spaulding is pretty well satis fied with the conduct of his flashy assortment of backs, but the linemen can still use some practice in his opinion. "Oiu' line isn as tar advanced as some of the other teams," he said. "They're good on defense but they haven been opening up the holes for our backs." This doesn't mean that Bill is, planning a wholesale shake-up two days before the first game. On the contrary, he believes that his linemen will continue to show improvement after they've tucked a game or two under their belts. The starting line-up is pretty well set, with Jack (Big Bertha) Sommers and Joe L.

"This sort of thing establishes a dangerous precedent," Masters declared, adding he felt summer training camps for football players must be outlawed. touchdowns coming up.

Elsey showed his heels and hips to the Engineers in a 51 yard romp after taking a punt. Lyons tossed a flank shot to Elsey for another one this play being good for 10 yards. Walt McCow-en got the last counter when he whipped around end for 3 yards after tossing a pass to McCarthy on the previous play. All in all the Lions looked like a different team than a year ago. Their passing attack was nearly flawless and the hall carriers have speed to break loose.

Blocking was far from perfect and will stand improve Turn to Page 10, Column fi SEABISCUIT THIRD IN MUD NKW YORK. Sept. 20. Charles S. Howard's Seabiscuit making his first start of the year in the East, could do no better than third today as William Woodward's Isolater won the mile and a half of the $3000 Man hattan Handicap over a muddy track at Belmont Park.

Jimmy Stout brought Isolater home a head in front of Walter M. Jefford's Regal Lily to pay 6 to 1. The 'Biscuit, never at his best in muddy trailed by another three lengths while showing the way to Handcuff and Piccolo. Isolater Jumped Into an early lead and held sway past the three-quarter mark while Seabis cuit trailed the field. Regal Lily then took command while the 'Biscuit moved up fast into third place.

Isolater and Regal Lily fought it out to the wire as the West Coast star failed to gain ground in the role of the 6 to-5 favorite.

Unleashing an aerial attack that completely submerged the light Tech grid squad, the Lions added a flock of fleet sophomore ball carriers who ran their opponents blind. SOPHS SHINE The touchdown parade began with a sophomore, triple-threat-er Jack Peck, who ran to one score and passed to two more. Then there was Earl Elsey, a sophomore quarterback who ran to a score and took a pass from Jack Lyons for another.

It was a great night for the Lions. Everything, including the lateral passes the Del Reys have been tolling on for the past week, worked to perfection. The Lions did a little stumb ling in the first half with sloppy ball handling robbing them of scores. But in the third and fourth they really poured It on. Midway in the third stanza Guard Stan Peterlin intercepted a pass and galloped 30 yards to the Tech 4 where Sophomore Bernie Flaherty scored.

'Barely later Tony De Lellis flipped a forward to Wolfie Hughes who lateralled to Tony Natale and there was another six points. That one was good for $3 yards.
