BROOKLYN EAGLE, MONDAY, AUG. 25, 1941 15 Sanford Assembles Powerful Polo Four LOUIS SCARED? NOVA THINKS SO Carlin to Claim Title if Joe Seeks Further Postponement By JACK MAI10N Is Joe Louis afraid of Lou Nova? That was the No. 1 topic of conversation In the more exclusive cabanas along hot-air Jacobs' Beach today following the sudden ten-day postponement of the Nova-Louis 29, washed in with the tide last Guest, Rathborne, Oliver To Play With Hurricanes By GEORGE E. COLEMAN Laddie Sanford popped out of the scramble for polo players at Westbury, L. with a fine club to represent his Hurricane stable In the National Open championship.

The polo-playing carpet king should have plenty to say About who Is going to win the Fall classic. He starts off his team with himself, a five-goal player, and he has played not only this Summer but also last Winter in Florida. So he's in perfect shape, ready to ride with the best of the high-goalers. The No. 2 position is something of a problem.

Aug. 25 The Echo Bay Yacht Club held Its first Sunday race of the season SCHROEDER GOOD LONG-SHOT BET ft'" dx 7 a 1: A THE OLD MASTER AT WORK It's Bobby Jones himself shown in action during the Ryder Cup challenge round competition ot Detroit yesterday, to blast one out of a sand trap. Bradley Confesses Indians Are Mystery The consensus of the sidewalk swamlls was that Louis realizes he's in for the toughest opposition he's encountered in-18 title defenses and is wise in asking for more time to train.

Most of the geniuses pooh-poohed the Idea that the Bomber was afraid of Lou but many agreed there might be something to the theory. These latter refugees from their landlord's glare did not think Joe was afraid of being injured by Nova. As they saw it Joe was afraid his terrific early season campaign (six fights In six months this year); his recent six weeks of strenuous golfing and equally strenuous legal battling (contesting his wife's suit for divorce) took too much out of the champion. They recalled Joe did a bit too much golfing before the first Schmeling fight in 1936 and that was the one in which he took his worst beating and suffered the only knockout of his professional career. Add to all this the several thousand explanations of just how much the champion has gone over the hill and you'll understand why these pugilistic prophets feel Joe actually believes his time has come.

Nova will lay off training, except for light exercises this week. He was surprised when Carlen told him about the postponement but took it casually enough. "Well, the 10 days won't make any difference in the result," was all he said. Is Lou right? Or is Louis making a smart, move to save the crown that he's worn so perfectly these last four years? Yeah we'd like lo know too. Bears Show J.

C. Rivals Exit Gale The Newark Bears pushed the Jersey City Giants right out of the International League's playoff picture yesterday by defeating their inter-city rivals, 40 and 42. The Rochester Red Wings slammed across two wins over the Buffalo Bisons. 92 and 83 to increase their fourth-place margin to six games over the Giants, Tommy Byrne held the little Giants to five hits for his eighth win of the season in the first game as Ken Sears featured the Bears' 12-hit barrage with a third inning homer" with none on. Johnny Lin-dll allowed four hits in winning his 21st victory in the nightcap.

Hal Feldman gave up nine hits to the Bears including four-baggers by Corbett and Mack. A 14-hit batting rampage, featured by five runs in the third nelped Hank Gornicki score his 12th win for Rochester. He allowed two hits. The Wings scored in all but two Innings but needed three pitchers to subdue the Bisons in the nightcap. Montreal blanked Syracuse, 20, but dropped 5' games behind the leading Bears.

Southpaw Charley Flowers allowed nine hits.

19 to Sept. Saturday. Mr. Nova and his Mr. Ray Carlen think so very strongly.

So strongly in fact, that Carlen has announced to the world that, unless Louis can go through with the brawl on the 29th, he will claim the heavyweight title and call on the public to back him up. Carlen, a soft-spoken gentleman, has been very long-suffering in this affaire Louis. He has remained on the sidelines while Joe belted over tils bums of the month and thought Nova rated a June fight with the bomber. When Billy Conn got the shot, Ray agreed to wait till September. Now he claims Louis has no other way to escape Lou so he is "trying to run out." "I positively won't stand for any more delay," said Carlen today.

"We've done everything they've asked and have waited long enough. I am convinced Louis and his managers know their time has come and do not want to risk the title against Nova." "Except for a weather postponement or some serious injury to Louis, I will not stand for another postponement. No, not a day or a week or anything else. If they try to run out again, I'll claim the title and ask the Boxing Commission and the general public to support me'." Think Joe's Stalling Along the beach where premature, reports that the fight was off caused several of the citizens to drop their racing forms, there was much talk, today, of the effect of the postponement on the fighters. ARMSTRONG DOESN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF COCHRANE San Francisco, Aug.

25 (INS) Henry Armstrong, the only three-weight tltlist in pugilistic history, snorted today when asked for his opinion of Freddie Cochrane, the new welterweight champion. "I've seen him fight," said Armstrong, "and I still can't understand how he beat Fritzie Zivic. It must be like the writers say: Zivic wasn't mentally primed and was planning to take Cochrane in stride. "Fritzie ought to kiss him off quick in a return match, but I'd like to get a crack at Cochrane first. I'd lick him, too." After the terrific lacing he took from Zivic last January, Armstrong said he had thought seriously about quitting the ring.

"But what is there for me to do?" he asked. "My business is fighting Things got so dull after a few months that I began working here and there as a referee." U.S.O. to Benefit From Trotting Card Roosevelt Raceway swings Into the third week of its late Summer harness race meeting tonight, with two outstanding feature events scheduled during the next six nights of competition at the Westbury (L. Oval. The first of these specials will be staged Wednesday as part of a gala benefit program for the United Service Organizations, which will receive 50 percent of the night's gate receipts.

The second will be raced on Saturday. The benefit program for men in the nation's armed forces will be featured by a special stake which has been named the U. S. O. This race, a two-dash event for 13 class pacers, calling for brushes over the six-furlong and one-mile routes and carrying a purse of $1,200, has attracted a large field.

Saturday's feature will bp the Hillside, a two-dash event for all age 10 class trotters. This race calls for heats of six furlong and a mile and carries a purse of $1,200, Segura Tops Bowden In Hispano Net Final Francisco Segura, champion of Ecuador, won the men's singles in the annual Hispano Tennis Club invitation tournament yesterday by defeating Frank Bowden of Npw York, 63, 75. 63, on the Hispano Club courts. Segura and Arthur Cano. Bolivia, took the doubles honors by default from Joe Fish-bach, Bronx, and Lester Hirsch-field, Yonkers.

In the mixed doubles final. Mrs. Norma Taubele Barber of New York and Manuel Romero of Hispano defeated Countess Natasha of this city and Cano, 6 0. 63. Spitfire Triumphs East Hampton, L.

Aug. 25 Paul Shields, with Spitfire, won the final race In the Star Class elimination series of the Peconic-Gardiners Bay fleet yesterday off the Devon Y. C. for his third straight. Spitfire and Qorham Godwin's Ardin will represent the fleet In he Atlantic foast wish to have one of the greatest defensemen playing up front.

Yet, Winston Guest, who played his first polo of the year Saturday, will most likely hold down the job. Rathborne at Back The question that immediately followed the answer to the No. 2 role was "Why not have Winston at No. but when it was learned that there was George Oliver, the Texan who led the Pelicans to the Meadow Brook Club's 20 goal championship thete's little hesitation there. Oliver did the best pivot-playing of the season in that tournament.

But then, the question Is: ''Why not put Guest at back? He played noma, of his best polo there." The reply to that )s, "Code Rathborne Is at back." So there It is the team that promises to be the troublemaker of the tournament the Hurricanes: Sanford, Oliver, and Rathborne, a 26-goal four. Guest, a 200-pounder when In polo condition, Is a little heavier. Thus, Saturday he was slow getting about the field but the high-goalers remember that the ntne-goaler can get in shape quicker than any other rider in Westbury. He did It the last two seasons when he started exactly as he is doing now taking a short vacation from helping England win the war. His full name Is Winston Frederick Churchill Guest and he comes by it truthfully, being related to the Churchill family English by birth and American by adoption.

Yesterday, Sanford turned in a good-playing game at Bostwick Field but was slow just once, and that was his team's undoing. Stewart Iglehart saw he could go into a scramble and come out with the ball or a foul called for his team. He moved in and Umpire Bill Gaylord blew for a No. 1 penalty, an automatic point and then made good on a 40-yard foul shot, giving his Westbury four the edge in a 6-to-4 triumph over Sanford's Long Island quartet. However, Iglehart' all-around play deserved the victory.

He tcored all his team's goals six. In an open test match on Cochran Field. Aknusti Pete Bostwick and the three Gerrys, Eddie, Ebby and Henry downed Gulf Stream Mike Phipps, Walter Hayden, Tom Mather and Alan Corey 7 to 5. Bridal Notes Francis Gibbs of Locust Valley, ii. owner and rider of Little Squire, the grey pony that won the 1939 National Juniper championship, turned in the sportsmanship Plav of the month's horse show activities.

Competing In the Scurry, at the Kast Hamptoi Show Saturday, Little Squire and Gibbs placed sec ond to Billy Steinkraus up on Salmo. The judge in scoring the knockdowns chalked ud a front knockdown as three faults instead of four, giving Steinkraus the edge by one fault to win the class, a trophy and $25. Following the pinning of the ribbons the error was called to the Judges' attention and the riders were called to judge off. But Gibbs decided that Steinkraus was not at fault and there would be no returning the ribbons or jumping off. Camp, Mrs.

Norman K. Toerge's Locust Valley foxrhaser, came through with the hunter title with Nancy Redmond doing the riding. Nancy is Mrs, Camp's niece and after Camp, being ridden by Liz Hyland, Just about, the No. 1 girl rider of the show ring. It was tough assignment but the lass did well.

HEROES AND GOATS HESOE White, Cardinal rookie southpaw, who beat Dodgers inNpener of doublehead-er in crucial National League series, and Whitlow Wyatt who pitched and batted the Dodgers to a nightcap win and an even split for the day; Merrill May who doubled in the winning run to give the lowly Phillirs a night-rap decision over the Cubs and a clean sweep of the doublchcader: Danny Litwhilrr who homered twice for the rhils; Bob Swift whose squeeze play bunt in the tenth with the bases loaded enabled the Browns to beat Washington and move Into sixth place of the American League. GOAT Highbie, whom the Dodgers had relied on to win the opener against St. Louis and who the Cards shelled to the showers In the third-Inning with none out; Claude Passeau who went in as a Cub reliefer in the last inning and let the Phillies score their winning run in the night-rap; Carvel Rowell, Boston Braves' second baseman, who committed three errors against the Plate I yesterday with a fine turnout of 80 yachts, a sizeable fleet for a Sunday at this time of year. As the fleet assembled off Exe cution Light, a dead calm prevailed, 'but as the starting time for the first clash to go approached, a light breeze from the southeast came in Just hard enough to give the craft steerage way. Arthur Schwartz, in charge of the regatta committee, sent the fleet away over reversed courses and as the fleet was half way on its course, the wind shifted into the south, giving the skippers and crews plenty of windward work.

Lady Shows Way Two local yachts repeated their victories of Saturday to make it two in a row Bobkat, Freeman Meinertz of Brooklyn and Great Neck and Romeyn Everdell's Bolt, sailing from Port Washington. Bobkat, sailed by Mrs. Mary Meinertz Sundays, took the measure of a baker's dozen in the Atlantic Class and gained on the class In the Noyes Trophy series, which goes to the yacht attaining the highest point score in the Sunday races held in the Atlantic Class. Mrs. Meinertz had Bobkat off to a perfectly timed start and gained on the rest of her competitors almost immediately after the start to lead all around the course.

Bobkat had an advantage of more than two minutes over Rhapsody, sailed by Bobby Mos-bacher of the Knickerbocker Yacht Club of Port Washington. Jay Lukens, a clubmate of the Mrinterz family, finished in third place with Hera. From First to 12th Everdell had an even easier time In taking the Star Class event with Bolt He was off in the lead at the gun and lengthened his lead as he sailed over a seven-mile course to scamper over the finish line with more than five minutes to spare over the second boat, Beaver, skippered by the veteran C. E. Turney.

Adrian Islein 2d of Port Washington was third with his Ace 2d. From a first place on Saturday to a 12th place yesterday was the fate of Phil Mallory in the International Class, an event won by Egbert Moxham Jr. of Manhasset Bay with his Maid of Honour. Mox ham whipped the tar out of the scrappy skippers In the Internationals when he was home with a two-minute lead over Magnus Konow in Frolic. Albert Marx beat Arthur Knapp for third place by a whisker.

Marx sailed Alberta, while Knapp was at the helm of George Esselborn's Myth. Other winners included Frederick Bakers Comeback in the Sound Interclub Class; Class Woodcock. James Benfield; Over-niter Class, Chee Chee, Fred Hor-ton; "110" Class. Falna, William Hornldge Shamrock Class, Shrimp, Carl Dietz; Snipe Class, Princess II, John Nicholson; National Claw, Piatt Wiggins Handicap Class, Division V. Stuart Jay's Valkyrie, and Herbert Ellis' Skipper in Handicap Class, division VI.

British Tars Beaten By Prague Booters The Prague soccer team of the National League defeated a picked team from the British Royal Navy, 32, at Steinway Oval, Astoria, yesterday before 2,000 persons. All the goals were scored in the first half. After 10 minutes of play. Wool-ley of the Navy accidentally put the ball through his own goal in clearing a hot drive from Masaryk. Pavlacck increased the lead for Prague afrr 25 minutes and immediately ahmvard Clench cut the margin.

Adamcek scored the third Prague goal, but just before IirU-time Btrkett netted a beauty for the Britons. St. Finbar's Captures C. Y. O.

25 (U P) If you want a long shot winner in the approaching national singles championships at Forest Hills take Ted Schroedcr. He's ranked tenth nationally and at 20 still quite a distance from his physical and tennis peak bui, currently he's the hottest rac-queteer in the business. There were few among the of 3.000 swank Longwood Cricket Club fans yesterday who would doubt that statement after watching the agile Stamford senior share his second straight national doubles title with blond partner Jack Kramer, another 20-year-ok! California n. Schroeder end Kramer, beaten but once in nine tournaments, retained their crown and completed domination of the doubles ranks by trouncing the third-seeded duo of Gardnar Mulloy, Coral Gables, and Wayne Sabin, Reno, 97, 64, 62. The 155-pound Schroeder, competing with three players, all of whom rank or have been ranked higher, was the soundest all-round performer on the court.

He smashed lightning forehand shots at or through his more experienced rivals and his service returns often appeared swifter than the original drives. Deadly accurate with both forehand and backhand, except, during several brief slumps, Schroeder scored 34 points on placements, six more than his opponents' combined total. Though broken once his service was a trifle more consistent than that of his slugging partner and far better than either Mulloy's or Sabin's. Schroeder's display was even more polished than Saturday when he made former national singles champ Bobby Riggs look like a champ and Gene Mako like a pension candidate in a semi-final Self-admittedly, Schroeder's major weakness is inability to keep his game in high gear. He's sure-fire destruction now and his victory over the present champion, Don McNeill, at Seabright may give him poise and confidence enough to topple McNeill from the throne.

Tennis history was created by Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke of New York who shared two titles to boosL her national championship total to 34. She won her women's title with 23-year-old Margaret Osborne of San Francisco by beating second-seeded Pauline Betz of Los Angeles and Dorothy Bundy of San'a Monica, 36, 61, 64. Then she teamed with Kramer in the mixed doubles and they rallied to edge Riggs and Miss Betz, 46, 64, 64. Mrs.

Cooke has won the women's championship with five partners including Alice Marble, who turned professional efter sharing it with her four years in a row. Mulloy drew some consolation when he and his father copped the fathcr-and-sons event by whipping the William Clothiers of Philadelphia, 75, 62. Buffalo Pair Clean Up In Polish Net Play Gus Franczyk and Gertrude Ras- zeja, both from Buffalo, dominated the finals in the Polish-Ameican national tennis championships yes terday at the Boulevard Gardens courts in Woodside, Queens. The former defeated Harry Maciejcw-iski of Jersey City, 64. 63.

4, for the men's title and Miss Ra'zeja turned back Ann Banik of the local Polish-American T. 75, 61, for the women's crown. The champions then captured the mixed doubles laurels by beating Miss Banik and Alvin Kolankicwicz, New York, 62, 63. Golankicwlcz and Maciejewiski gained the men's doubles honors, defeating Al Sza-wiewicz and Ed Murawski, Philadelphia, 62, 75. 36.

Having taken the State title in the same event Saturday. Priano barely defeated Robert Mosard of the St. George Dragon Club in 1:03 3. Favored to take the 100-meter backstroke too, the Flatbush swimmer was upset by Arthur Campbell of the Dragons by a small margin. Miss Ruth Stevenson of the Shel-ton Dolphins took the women's 100-meter freestyle championship in 1:15.1 and Miss Barbara Earing of the Dragons annexed the 100-meter backstroke title in 1 :24.

Miss Helene Rains of the Women's Swimming Association was credited with a new American short-course record for the 300-meter individual medley. Since this was the first time trial at this distance.

Bradley Isn't alone in asking the answer. Everybody from big-wig to bootblack wants to know. Bradley simply has given up guessing. He said: "As far as I'm concerned, the Indians this year are a total mystery. Until I make up my mind about their faults I can't go ahead with many plans for next season." Whatever the reason, it is generally agreed the anemic Redskins are the biggest bust of the campaign, having collapsed not silently nor gracefully but with a dizzy, resounding bang.

Selected in many pre-season prognosticatioas to win the American League the team started with a vim and vigor and, even in early June, possessed a ten-game lead. The Tribe now, of course, is on the fringe of second division, trailing the pace-making New York Yankees by 18 games. What's wrong? Have Defeatist Altitude At la.t count the Indians were suffering from 116 ailments found by local diagnosticians. Here are a mere half dozen of the alleged maladies: 1 The team has acquired a defeatist attitude. 2 The management persists In Hialeah'42 Program Lists Two Changes Sara tosa Springs, N.

buying castoffs from other clubs, such as Ben Chapman, Clint Brown, Larry Rosenthal, Chubby Dean and Gee Walker. 3 Bradley doesn't pay his players more than coffee and cake wages. 4 The club has a one-man pitching staff Rapid Robert Feller. 5 Indian managers lack aggVes-sivehess. 6 Indian managers are too aggressive.

All of this hardly proves anything, there being an answer to each argument. The team's personnel has changed too much since 1920 when Cleveland won its first and last pennant to become imbued with defeatism. The Tribe has fared no worse with castoffs than other clubs, and the Redskins are among the best paid players in the business. There are other flingers on the roster beside Feller. Few will deny that Tribal managers, of which there have been six since Tris Speaker stepped down in 1927, have been sound baseball men.

Why, then, the collapse? Cyril Slapnicka, general manager of Bradley's property, snapped this answer: "If anything Is wrong the reasons are physical. We have accident'-and sickness, too." Manager Roger Peckinpaugh chimed in with this explanation: "We simply haven't been getting any hitting. That fact probably covers all our sins." All explanations notwithstanding, the Indians have fallen apart at the seams, and the Yanks have passed them by in a rush.
