All receipts from the match will go to the underprivileged children's fund.

The quad of stars will include Sam Perry, Joe Burch, Bill Damen, and Scudday Horner. Perry and Burch will match their skill with the clubs against that young Horner and Bill 1 Damen. Each of the performhers hold golfing crowns that mark them as real experts at the game. Perry copped the Southern Amateur title twice and the Alabama State championship crown twice, also, while his partner, Joey Burch, takes his place along with the outstanding pros of the country. The opposition will pit Scudday er, winner of several' invitational tournaments and former P.

G. A. champ, and Bill Damen also a former P. G. A.

title holder and victor in some of the South's toughest circles, against the former aces. Montgomery's Scudday Horner is fresh from a victory over a field of stars who attended the Selma Country Club's Ninth Invitational Tournament and local enthusiasts are welcoming this chance to see the Capitol City lad in action once again. Horner and Selma's own Louis Crisman battled it out in the finals during Scudday's last appearance here, with Louis falling before the brilliant play of his opronent. The match is scheduled for next Sunday and is to get underway promptly at 2:30 p. m.

A small admission fee will be charged for both youngsters and adults. SARRON POUNDS THRONE SEEKER Petey Retains Crown By Mauling Miller About In Bout In Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Sept. Sarron, the world featherweight champion from Birmingham, did everything but score a knockout tonight as he outpointed a former titleholder, Freddie Miller of Cincinnati, to retain his title in a 12- round bout. A crowd of 25,000 saw Sarron floor his opponent twice and gain a decisive victory in the last bout of his long tour of Europe and South Africa. He is scheduled to meet Henry Armstrong, Los Angeles negro, in New York in October to clear up their disputed title claims.

Sarron weighed 129 1-4 pounds and Miller 123 3-4. The Birmingham Bomber nearly ended the bout in the sixth PITCHERS' G. W. L.

4-(AP) There seems to be no one in the National League who wants to take the batting leadership away from Ducky Medwick. For the past three weeks the Cardinal clouter, deep in his worst slump of the season, nas been giving the loop's heavy hitters every opportunity in the world, but apparently none of them hears opportunity knocking. Medwick dropped five more points in his batting average during the week ended with Friday's games, nose-diving to .388, his lowest mark since the early weeks of the campaign. But second place Paul Waner of the Pirates, instead of taking advantage of the chance, slumped even, more than Medwick, dropping nine points to .375. As a result, Ducky Wucky, although losing as far as his average was concerned, actually picked up ground boosting his league lead from nine to 13 points during the seven-day span.

As matters stand now, Medwick's chief headache, as is annually the custom, is coming from, Master Melvin Ott, No. 1 mauler of the New York Giants. Ott, who seems to be giving the pitchers more trouble than any batter in the league these days, took the home run leadership from Medwick during the week, and skyrocketed out in front with a total of 30 to 28 for his slugging rival, The Giant belter poked four into the stands during the week, while Medwick was collecting only one. Otherwise, Medwick held his various leads in the individual departments of play. Trailing Medwick and Waner in the hitting race were Gabby Hartnett, Cubs, with Mize, with Ernie Lombardi, Reds Pinky Whitney, Phillies Billy Herman, Cubs Frank Demaree, Cubs Heinie Manush, Dodgers .337, and Chuck Klein, Phillies who returned to the top ten, with .337.

round when he ripped a right to Miller's stomach. The challenger sagged toward Sarron, who smashed a left cross to the head and floored him for a count of seven. Miller recovered quickly and lashed out at Sarron to start a whirlwind session of slugging which ended only when the referee pried them apart after Miller had failed to hear the bell ending the round. In the twelfth Sarron swung a hard right and sent Miller to the canvas for a count of three, but Freddie bounced up and was trying wildly for a knockout when the fight ended. Although it was a slashing fight all the way, neither suffered any visible damage until the eleventh.

Then Miller landed a hay-maker that drew blood from Sarron's nose and Petey retaliated by opening an ugly cut above Miller's eye. RECORDS Pet.

.000 7 .000 SIGNED SEALE -D and DELIVERED BY FARMER SEALE Throughout the season of the Leafs have always found the Shippers easy pickings in their own backyard, but Thursday and Friday found the Mobilians tougher than ever. Out of two starts the Shippers balked the Gang of Ganzel on both occasions. Kermit Aase and Bill Gould were the victims in the first defeat and Willie Tench, Matt Thernes, and G. William, again, all had a hand in Friday night's loss. But far be it from this agent to get down in the dumps over those two battles when there are two more which loom as real contests.

This afternoon the Leafs and Shippers will tee off in the fourth game of their Shaughnessy dispute to determine which of them will face the Fliers in the finals of the play-off. The game is called for 3 o'clock with the mound choices as uncertain as a ten-cent thermometer. Manager Purtell set off his biggest spark last night when he fired "Red" Barrett against the Leafs and his choice today will more than likely come from Jordan, Doyle, or Skipper Ganzel has Aase and Slayden still fresh with Everette Grossman coming around from Wednesday's victory. The Shippers have only to grab one more game from the Ganzels and they will step up to the bench and get their sentence from "Pop" Kitchens' first place crew. Pensacola shoved the Senator SO far back out of the series that Jack Mealey is still looking for the Jackson city limits.

As for the Leafs, we've gotta, garner a pair of the remaining games or our name will be just as dirty as that of the Solons and our face should be even redder if the Shippers beat us. But if the Port Citians do knock us off today, well, it has been a great season and the skipper, the players, and the three men behind the club deserve a big hand for a fine showing. (Personally, we are good for two more shots at the Ship- What eats! Everbody got their fill out at Frank Houston's yesterday and the fellows really appreciated it. The members of the ball club wish to take this medium to thank the Chamber of Commerce, the fans who bought tickets, and the city at large for the barbecue and everything that went with it. The Leafs have had a most successful season and the outing at the grove was a fine finish We thought that Joe Dotlich covered first better than he did anything, but we were wrong The Leaf ace can certainly get next to food (and barbecue especially) Bob Phillips came out with some "hot stuff" on the teams not facing Ole Miss.

and Miss. State. His column, "On the Roof," gave the set-up in a nutshell and the shell is mighty thin. State is plenty let down over the fact that Alabama didn't renew their grid rivalry. Well, Phillips says that reason for it is that the Tide makes out their schedule far ahead of time.

One thing is certain, they don't make it out so far ahead that they don't know what they're going to have to put in uniform. If the Crimson officials doped out the '37 menu back 1 in the fall of '35 or '36, why didn't they put State on the card. Coach Thomas says he won't have much this year and expects to finish far down the line. the Roof! contends that 'Bama didn't give Miss. State a game because they didn't know she was going to be so strong.

That when the card was made up, State was still a weakling among the conference foes and that almost overnight Sasse brought the boys to win over the Tide and then held them to a 7-0 win. Why Alabama severed relations with the Miss. Maroons is something we would all like to know. Bob Phillips says he knows the inside dope. Why keep it from everybody? He tries' to fish tail out of the Crimson's easy schedule by comparing it with State's, but the fact that the Tiderg launch a on Sept.

25 against Howard is something we all know. Maybe State does have an easy go, but that's no reason they can't have a crack at Alabama, it it? There appeared in this department Friday a discussion of chances to become a Class A club. Plans called for a purchase of the franchise from Mobile owners by the Cardinals. The St. Louis moguls would In turn buy Knoxville's Smokies and move them to the Port City as the Mobile: Shippers, therefore placing Mobile in the Southern Association.

agent pointed out the disadvantages of such a set-up and now comes still another argument against the plan. Clifton C. Ingle, to the Shippers what "Breezy" Steele is to the Leafs, writes this interesting note to John Henry, Mobile Times sports editor. When the Shipper bosses want something done they get Henry on the job COACH HOPEFUL FOR GOOD YEAR DESPITE HOLES Local Gridders Get First Taste Of Hard Work As Week Wanes BY FARMER SEALE The Fighting Tigers, of Selma High School, numbering 53 at present, brought their fourth day of practice to a close Saturday afternoon. Coach Elwyn Ward.

expresses real confidence in his first eleven and is hoping that some hefty reserves will come through in order that the varsity won't have to carry the entire load, but at present the question of second stringers has the head mentor worried. A first team that should stack up with any in the state is making progress at a fast clip. Rear Works Gallopers Running in the rear works are Captain Toughy Duke, Larry Faulk, Leon Walker, and Walter Huffman. Three of these gallopers are big and powerful, while the fourth, Walker, is small, and speedy. Leon saw plenty of action last year as did Huffman and Duke, but Faulk is yet to taste fire.

This, however, would make a large difference with anyone but Larry it won't him in the least. Having performed in scrimmages last year, Faulk will develope rapidly and his power will deal trouble to the opposition all season. Captain Duke is calling the signals and operating from the blocking back position. He carries a lot of power and speed, too. Huffman will more than likely do most of the kicking and passing.

He kicked last year, although Mason took care of most of the punting, and should find his stride soon, The first string line is heavy and, above all, fast. Charlie Lloyd and Claude Campbell are operating at end now and both are rangy and fast. At tackles are Dick Solomon and Vic Clark. These lads saw action in every game last year and need nothing but to get in there and go. Big and fast, they are the tackle solution with out a doubt.

Guards Lockett and Brislin are speedy and big. Brislin weighs 175, while Lockett tips the scales at nearer 150. Lockett is doing the pulling out and Mickey takes care of what is known as short tackle. Tommy Bazzell is doing his usual finework at center. Rangy and weighing close to 160, Tom should find little or no competition this fall as he meets some of the state's best.

Line Reserves Needed Reserve strength in the second string backfield meets with more approval than does the line help. In the four back positions are Abbott, Driggers, Carmack, and Hollingsworth, Carmack has shown up well in his punting for the past week, while Joe Abbott looks mighty good at his running back punts. All last season little Abbott dealt misery to the first and second string backs with his deadly tackling, but this year should find Joe in that varsity backfield: a plenty. Luther Hollingsworth is a freshman, but is shaping up nicely. Driggers is entering his second year of football and besides being a hard worker, he is fast and rugged, But the "trouble spot" of the squad is no reserve lineman.

Blanton and Lamar loom as the second string guards, but after that the material is green. You are last years reremaining, serves. Lawrence, Robinson, and Lilienthal were lost. They, along with Clark and Solomon formed a erack tackle corps. Losing three of five varsity performers doesn't leave much to pick from.

At center, McDonald will get the relief call. A year's experience this season will mark Larry as a real pivot performer for the '38 team. Weighing 185. Mac should see a lot of service. There simply are no experienced tackles after naming Clark and Solomon, Sam Moseley has the size, but no experience, not even a year on the squad.

Hard Work Begun Skipper Ward gave the linemen their first taste of hard work Friday when he sent them through charging paces, But for the most part, the drills have consisted of passing, punting, signal running, and form blocking and tackling. The tough work should get underway the latter part of next week with a scrimmage lurking around in the corners of the Junior High practice field. As soon as Coach Rhordanz appears on the scene the backs will taste a little stiff work in the form of blocking and tackling. The first eleven casts a bright aspect over the season's prospects, while it is hoped the reserves will shape time for the big test that Phillips will present on Sept. GAME FACTS Time-3 o'clock.

Inge, secretary of the Shippers, told the Times sports editor today. 'I'm glad the rumor is spiked," said. "There's is absolutely nothing to it." To keep Mobile in the loop is a great step towards having another successful league in 1938.

That, I'm sure, all the fans want. Odds 'n Ends: Mobile's Shippers and the Leafs resume battle this afternoon at 3 p. m. and it looks as if we're going to need plenty of help. Alex City has lighted her athletic field and the Tigers can look forward to all night games for the '37 season.

Prep schools and high schools of Mobile drew over 300 football hopefuls to their folds. Red Foster says to Auburn fans: "If Auburn had played as tough schedule for ten years past as the Tide has, she could get a set up, too." Skipper Ward put the Bengals on the charging machine Friday and it is really the ticket teaches 'em to charge hard, low, and fast. Orville's head mentor came by the office last week and had more grievances than an old maid with lumbago Only five of last year's team returning their feelings were on the edge because they thought this corner referred to them as "neighbors" who had stirred up the training camp trouble. nothing like that, coach and Orrville will play two games at Rowell Park this year. Maplesville and Carlowville the Fighting Tigers be in Alex City and Dothan, however.

Does Joe Dotlich slay that barbecue? They tell it over by the Capstone that Joe Kilgrow is the only Tide star who really likes the rough stuff Howell and Riley, tis said, only kicked and passed a few and then went in for the day, but the more Joe gets the better he likes He'll carry the biggest part of the scoring the Tide, too touchdowns, extra points (and field goals if there are any). Pensacola exercised her jinz on the Senators Friday night and pulled two runs in the ninth to tie the ball game and send it into extra innings when you beat the Fliers, you've got to beat some unseen forces, too, it seems. A squad of Alex City High's gridders followed Coach Fox over to the Summit, Junior College. Trelle Jones is there, also, and he writes that the prospects of a winning team are bright Jones will probably work at quarter for Coach Fox and stands great chances of going higher after one or two years of junior performance.

SALTER AUBURN, Sept 3-Fate Auburn's 1937 football team rests upon the shoulders of the Tigers 1936 reserves, most of whom saw very little action in games last Coach Jack Meagher's job at Auburn this year is to replace 13 lettermen, including eight starting players, and the second, third and fourth team members last year are the ones he is having to look to for replacements, No outstanding aspirants graduated from the 1936 first-year ranks, although five of the bona fide rookies have considerable potential class and probably will see lots of service their initial campaign as varsity performers. Only starters back to form the backbone of Coach Meagher's fourth -edition at the Plains are End Oscar Burtord and Halfbacks Jimmie Fenton and Billy Hitchcock. They will be the Tigers 1937 key men. Antley Favored Center Now being favored at the pivot spot is Captain Lester Antley, Captain Walter Gilbert's able understudy last year, Antley did not see a vast amount of action in clashes as a junior, but he has played enough to make a capable successor to the two-time all-Southern ace. Understudying the Plainsmen leader will be Malvern Morgan, a holdover.

All of the chief guard candidates save Sophomore Walter Chandler, a bright prospect from Columbus, are reserve carryovers, Ralph Sivell and Fred Gillam are the ones at present and their rivals are Milton Howell, Carth Thorpe, Vernon Burns, Everette Smith and Chandler. Howell was converted from an end and 1. Thorpe and Burns are extackles. How well these switches work out will determine Auburn's guard strength. Ahead in the tackle race are Bo Russell and Freddie Holman, two who were valuable second team performers in '36.

George Wolff and Bill Nichols are next in line and they also were members of the 1936 varsity squad. Running opposite Buford on the tentative first eleven is Rex Kissick, a fine pass receiver. McKissick also reserve graduate. Also in the flank flock is Frank Hamm, who earned his monogram last season understudying one of the two starters on the wings. Three Field Generals Stepping in to guide the Tigers in their 10 battles this season will be one of three reserve graduates, Marion Walker, Osmo Smith or Julian Fowler, Walker received the ranking nod in Spring training, but early workouts this month forecast that Smith and Fowler are going to be very much in the fight.

John Davis and Loyd Foster also are field generals with varsity squad experience under their belts. Relieving Hitchcock and Fenton at halfbacks will be George Kenmore, who has stepped up from last year's plebe ranks, and Speck Kelly, Ralph 0'Gwynne, Geter Cantrell, Tommie Edwards, Bill Mims and Bill Ellis, all of whom played freshman football two or more seasons ago, Speedsters Kelly, who can negotiate the century in 10 flat on the cinders, and 0'Gwynne are lettermen and are being groomed for service in a pony combination, Three of the first four fullback aspirants received varsity equipment last year. Dutch Heath was Wilton Kilgore's first assistant and he is now the No. 1 replacement for the departed Wadley star. Most of Heath's competition will be provided by Pelham Sitz and Kermit Weaver.

Sitz played a little as A soph in 1936, but Weaver, a junior in his studies, has not been baptised in a gruelling varsity combat. It, however, likely will not be any longer than the Tigers initial conflict with Birmingham-Southern in Montgomery, Friday night, September 24, before, Weaver breaks into major football, He has the "goods" if he deliver consistently in the Fall like he did in the Spring maneuvers a few months back, A majority of the reserves holdovers in the limelight as traveling squad members this season have not yet tasted competition in the fast Southeastern Conference and this indicates that the Bengals will be pretty strong the next compaigng if they make the grade this Fall and continue to. develop 9.8 they should, What is worrying Skipper Meagher, and his topflight assistants, however, is not the 1938 and 1939 seasons but the season that will be opened in less than three weeks.
