Ant ln real enjoyment. up more handicap to club fortunes. 'Club Fortunes Imperiled Unless Times Take Brace IT IS useless to deny the obvious.

Club fortunes are imperilled because of the lack of interest in baseball, due to the inability of the populace to get its avid hands on the coin. Baseball is the national sport and as such is, bound to be splendidly patronized, if people can get their paws on the old mazvlma. You cannot support a championship club on the proceeds taken at the gates thus far. It is silly to deny this fact, because suchi a thing is as plain as the trunk on an elephant, white or otherwise. Last year the Athletics sauntered into the red at a gallop.

Connie who his neither the inclination nor the reason to lie, says that his club dropped $150,000 in 1932. It was this reason largely that -compelled-the sale of Haas and Dykes to the White Sox. Along with that is the fact that the prospects- of-success in a financial way do not impend largely in 1933. The Phillies had even a worse streak ot luck. Not only was attendance in the dumps, but a bankj failure in the Quaker City tied up I some.

$35,000 which the Phils had in that-institution that went boom. I'm also informed that it was money loaned by "'the league, which has since been repaid, that really permitted the Phillies to coast along through last year. Whether or not this! is tumor or truth is something that none save those officially connected with the National League may know. Sunday baseball is as modern as the electric light. It is fought, of course, not by the ordinary churchman, but by those institutional activities which do not fail to bring a suitable salary to such Sabbatarians.

I'm willing to be a prophet. I'm willing to state that after Sunday baseball has seen its third performance, everybody, will take the game on that day as an prdinary affair. Inside, of two months everybody will be reconciled" to Sunday baseball, few will 'ever recall or care "to remember that there was a recent, time when Iowa Python Squeezes Foe- man Into Submission in Less Than 53 Minutes KAMPFER WINS IN DEBUT By TOM BVAN-Courier-Post Sports Editor rea Face" Grubmier, iowa python whose Wa brought him as much fame as those of a Follies beauty, will meet Jim olJU recognized in many states as world's heavyweight wrestling champion, in a title bout here at the Convention Hall next Monday iiigm. nor to the start of Grubmier's match with Joe Cox. of Toledo at Civic Center mat mart last night, it was announced! thatthe winner would clash with Londos next Monday night.

Grubmieif beat Cox in straight falls before a crowd of 3000, thereby earning the right to face the chesty Greek titleholder in a championship match. Although Joe Savoldi. erstwhile Notre Dame football star, was declared, the winner over Londos in a recent match at Chicago, Savoldi winning a one fall bout, Londos claims to the title wre, upheld by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission last week. Londos and his manager, Ed White, hollered "mur der" after Savoldi was awarded the fall over "Jeemey" and hastened eastward to plead their cause before the Keystone state commission as Londos won his crown by defeating Dick Shikat in a championship bout at the Phillies Ball Park. Londos Title at Stake The Pennsylvania solbns strung along with Londos and White, and gave Savoldi 60 days to meet Londos in a' championship battle, therefore.

Londos' title will be at stake when he faces Grubmier here next Monday night. "Grubby," in bad with Camden fans as a i result his off-color methods against Karl i Davis last week, regained lost prestige in his tussle with Cox, who conceded the first fall in 43 minutes, 32 seconds, and who also conceded the second fall in eight minutes, four seconds after suffering excruciating pain from two perfect figure four body scissors applied by the Iowa boa constrictor. I Cox, usually a clean, clever work man, apparently was out tosWin tho match at all costs in order to cut in on a lucrative match with Londos. Joe startled the crowd at the outset by kneeing, punching and using strangle holds and continued employ ing off-color tactics despite repeated warnings on the part of Referee Bob Jones. Grubmier eventually was forced to adopt the same tactics or else stand in danger off losing and both were guilty of continually over-; stepping the rules after about five minutes had elapsed.

Cox Has "Grubby" In Bad Shape It was a bitter battle, with both giving their utmost to win. Cox had Grubmier on the verge of going under at the 15-minute mark. With about 10 minutes gone, Grubmier twice threw Cox outside the ring to suffer hard falls to the floor, and Cox climbed back after each fall ap parently none the' worse for wear. Just so soon as he had regained tne ring, Cox swung into one of the most vicious and most spectacular attacks ever witnessed here. 'The Ohioan flung Grubmier out onto the floor and when "Grubby" regained tne ring, he took the worst thumping he ever re ceived in Camden.

Cox subjected the Iowa needle to eight straight body" slams and four of the crashes packed such power that Grubmier barely averted a fall in each instance. However, Sir Fred- ward managed to squirm loose after his shoulders were on the mat for an instant to finally obtain his pet finishing hold and win in straight falls. Loser Game In Both Falls Although Cox lost and he used "dirty" tactics in a futile effort to win, the Ohioan gave a great and game exhibition before conceding both falls. Cox held out for four minutes be fore losing the first fall and regained his feet four times. He also held out for two minutes before conceding the second fall and was up twice ber fore he finally had to say "Uncle." In addition, Joe had Grubmier tied into knots with three successive toeholds a few minutes Grubmier won the first fall.

only eluded the first two holds by crawling outside the ropes, but broke the last hold legitimately to get his first opening to clamp on an effective figure four body scissors. All in all, it was a stirring struggle and it took almost asi -much out of Grubmier as the winner as it did out Of Cox, the loser. The latter weighed 210 pounds against 205 for the Iowa toothpick. Kampfer Pins Bliackstock Hans Kampfer, 225, of Germany, Graeco-Rpman champion of Europe, made his 1 first appearance here in the semi-final and finished Marshall Blackstoek, 220, of Memphis, in 18 minutes and 39 seconds with three successive body slams, Blackstoek punched, kneed and used strangle holds in a futile effort to weaken who, however, was just as strong- at the finish as he was at the start. Just before he Blackstoek, Kampfer permitted the Tennessian to floor: him with a back drop, then thrice dashed Blackstoek to the mat to flatten him with a body press to win.

In a fast, interesting struggle, Joe Kleckner, 210, of Moorestown, and "Babe" Caddock, 200, of New York, battled to a draw in the third bout of 30 minutes. Kleckner several times resorted to offcolor tactics while Caddock wrestled cleanly throughout. Neither, however, held a lead at the finish and a draw was fair to', both grapplers. Making- his debut in -the second bout, Joe Cof field, 205, of -Kansas City, had piled up a commending lead over George McLeod, 207, of Providence, R. I.

'till the latter scored an unexpected fall in 20 minutes and 27 seconds, with a body press. McLeod dropped Coffield on his back by using both feet to the chest, Cof field's head and shoulders strik-. ing the mat with a crash. McLeod then used a body i press to pin his dazed foeman who was still out, when he arose, tangled with Referee Jones, McLeod coming to Jones' Rescue to pull Coffield off the official. George Knight, 140, Of Poland, won the referee's decision over Ben Haines, 134.

of Riverside, in the opening boutf of 15 minutes. With another second to go, Knight would have scored a fall as he had Haines shoulders pinned to the mat with an arm lock and body press for two sec- onds before the bell rang. LOCAL MAT RESULTS Fred Grubmier, 205, Iowa, won In straight falls over Joe Cox, 210, Toledo, winning first fall with body scissors in 43 minutes, 32 seconds, and second fall with body sclssoroa ln 8 minutes, 4 seconds. Hans Kampfer, 225, Germany, pinned Marshall Blackstoek, 220, Memphis, with body press. Time 18 minutes, 39 seconds, Joe Kleckner, 210, Moorestown, drew with "Babe" Caddock, New York, In 80 minutes.

C0HDOVMO RATES Former Georgetown Football Star Makes Grade as First-flight Grappler Youth is having its fling in the wrestling game these days and many promising youngsters have fought their way into the select circle of first-fllghters. One of the younger element who is regarded by many critics as a potential champion, is Sam Cordoyano of Washington, D. C. Cordovano was a star lineman at the University of Georgetown, and has been line coach of Columbia University's football eleven for the past two years. Cordovano, who meets Jack Mc- Arthur of Canada, another gridiron warrior, who formerly played with the New York Giants, of the Nation al Professional Football League and who also has made a name for himself in the soccer field, 'in the semifinal here at the 114th Infantry Armory on Thursday night.

It will mark Sam's third match here in four weeks and the dapper Italian already has become a big favorite. About two years ago, Cordovano met Carlos Henriques, of Spain, here at the Convention Hall, I and the two staged a sensational draw. Cordovano came back to Camden several weeks- ago to wrestle Cy Williams, of New York, at the Haddon avenue battleground, -and Cordovano used a kangaroo kick, one of the newest wrinkles in the wrestling game, to polish off the New Yorker. Last week, Sam clashed with Dr. Freddy Meyers, of Chicago, an off-color performer and earned a draw after 30 minutes of torrid grappling arid punching.

I However, Cordovano faces his greatest test here in going to the canvas with McArthur. The Canadian, a graduate of Holy Cross University, weighs in the neighborhood of 240 pounds, and is reported to be a hard man to take off his feet. Jack has lust returned from an invasion of the West Coast and is saido be in tiptop shape consequently, the combat, which is a finish match, one fall to win, should develop into a thrilling contest. Another pair of youngsters, both sensational artists, come together in the feature tiff, which is another finish match, one fall to determine the winner. Paul Boesch, of Long Beach, L.

and Karl of Poland, are the matmen in question and their meeting is certainj to attract a capacity crowd. Three 30-minute time-limit bouts, all to be decided by one fall, complete the. program. Andy Brown, Brooklyn "toughboy" comes back after a long absence to clash with Len Hacaluso, ex-Colgate University moleskin star, in the third joust; Howard Cantonwine, of Iiowa, takes on Mike Chaplin, of New York, in the second tiff, while Charley Leahman, of Texas, meets Leo Papi-anof of Greece, in the opener.

NIT IS NATIONAL OPEN GOLF Entries- 50 Under Last Year as Deadline for Filing Approaches By DAVIS J. WALSH I. N. 8. Sports Editor New York, May 2.

Unless upward of 500 additional entries get in under the wire between sunrise and the dead line at 6 o'clock tonight, the National Open Golf Championship 0- 1934 will play to something slightly better than 50 percent of its normal man-power. This Is not Idle surmise. It Is based on actual figures, available at the headquarters of the United States Golf Association where it Is guardedly admitted at this time that life is not a bowl of Indian relish. The figures are succinct but enlightening. This morning there were, roughly speaking, 525 entries on the line.

By nightfall, the total may go up to an approximate 600, possibly a few more, probably quite a few les.s. Last year the total entry was 1012. The inference, therefore, Is reasonr ably clear that the national open championship in golf is, for the time being, pretty much like the ruffle, the bustle and the Yale football team. It isn't what it used to be. Of the big tournament names, however, only three are missing.

They are- T. Philip Perkins, the reformed Englishman who placed third la3t yeiar; Densmore Shute, the new hand at Llanerch outside Philadelphia, and Mortie Dutra, brother of Olin. They may make it In one of the late mails. Even If they don't, the tournament can't go far wrong in general quality. Gene Sarazen, two-way champion of America and England, -is entered.

Likewise Walter Hagen, a champion of both countries several times over; Billy Burke, the 1931 winner; Leo Dlegel, Bobby Cruickshank, who 10 years ago almost beat Jones and MacDonald Smith, Harry Cooper and Craig Wood. Also Johnny Farrell and Tommy Armour, former champions; Wiffy, Cox, Paul Ed Dudley, Henry Ciuci, Johnny Goodman, -the amateur; Joe Kirkwood, Lacey, Charley Guest and Olin Dutra, the G. A. champion. Nor to forget Tom Creavy, P.

G. A cnampion in jod Macuonaia, George von Elm, Herman Barron and Johnny Fischer, intercollegiate champion and semi-finalist in the last amateur. Many of those named automatically qualified last year for the championship' proper at North Shore, just oiutside Chicago, starting June 8. The others must stand trial with the ordinary commoners in the sectional qualifying rounds on May 15, scheduled this time for 21 cities, the added sJite being Nashville, Term. The remaining districts chosen are Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Cleve land, Detroit, St.

Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Los An geles, San Francisco, Portland, Ore. Omaha, Dayton, and Buffalo. In other words, they have the tournaments and now all they need is somebody to play in them. The Golf Association is willing to be broad minded.

It will take entries by mail, wire, hand, wife -or sweetheart. It won't bicker with any jmedium, except maybe mental tele- patny, wnere Deing technical disaa Vantages. One cannot send the necessary check by mental telepathy. In fact, they still have Ponzi in jail tfor that. WRESTLING IS RESTORED IB ILLINOIS COMMISSION Chicago, May 2.
