For the first time in the history of the series the visiting team will consist of Scottish crews exclusively. Another precedent will be set when Miss Russell, daughter of William Russell, tends the sheet of her father's boat, Mclita, the first woman to act as crew in these races.

Armstrong, genial mentor of Utah University's habitual Rocky Mountain conference football champion, it looks as if his Indians are in for a tough season. A glimpse at the "giant killer" schedule faced by his Utcs this Fall brings a groan from the man who developed five consecutive conference title winners and tied the sixth year.

It is a record which ranks with the outstanding gridiron achievements of Rocky Mountain football history, and one Armstrong will work hard to uphold this year. An Optimistic Coach Mindful however of the prevailing customs of coaches to see only gloom ahead, Armstrong weakened a little with the remark, "But Utah will have a good ball club." Then he stroked his chin a moment and added "but that does not mean we hope to win all our games." The qualification of what other wise might appear as confidence, he explained, is due to the fact five other Rocky Mountain conferencs teams loom as formidable as his Redskins. Last season the Colorado Aggies and Denver University shared the 1933 laurels with Utah. The Utes meet Colorado College, Brigham Young University, Denver and Oregon on consecutive weekendstough sledding for a team of almost any caliber. Three Regulars Back After that beginning Nov.

10, come Colorado, Colorado Aggies and Utah State, another trio of conference topnotchers. With only three first string vet erans returning from last years team Savich, guard; Kramer, halfback, and Reeve, tackle and one of the weakest sophomore groups ever turned out at Utah Armstrong faces a critical situation. But despite that, his potential first string eleven looks good on paperwith Beckstead and Swan at ends, Pugh teaming with Savich at guard, Roberts at center, Reeve and McKenzie at tackle, Kramer, Pome-roy, Rinaldi, Lunnen, Larson, Cowley, Arnett and Call as backfield candidates. Armstrong's team will be lighter than usual, the potential line weighing only about 180 pounds and the backfield with an average of only 165 or 170 pounds. The Utah coach looks to Denver Colorado Colorado Aggies, Utah State and Brigham Young for keen competition In conference clashes this Fall, and Utah meets all of them, plus Colorado College.

I Fonseca, through motion pictures and talks, is spreading the gospel of baseball throughout the land and doing it so attractively that he has more calls for his appearances than he can satisfy. Traveling among the young folks of schools and colleges. Lew is telling them what the national pastime is all about. His role really is that of instructor of the biggest baseball school ever set up. Great Picture Collection He has collected an exceptionally comprehensive set of moving pictures, showing how famous batters hold the bat, stand at the plate and take a swing at the ball; how star pitchers grip the ball for various deliveries, how they stand on the rubber and deliver the ball, and how variouns fielding leaders patrol their positions.

These pictures are shown to interested groups, usually young men and boys, accompanied by a talk by Fonseca. He has turned out to be a remarkable lecturer, punctuating his remarks with pithy stories concerning the players whose pictures he shows. Winning; Bark Youngsters For some time, says Sporting News, the game's best minds have been pondering how they could win back the interest of the youngsters. It appears that Fonseca is providing one of the solutions. He believes that the game still holds the favor of the younger set and that It only is necessary to stimulate their interest to bring them back to the sandlots, the incubators of the sport.

Lew has proved that he Is well fitted for the task. The enterprise was created at his request and its initial success is a vindication both of his confidence in its results and of his appointment to carry out the job. Mack Doesn't Think Tigers Any Too Strong 3 Victories Over Them by A's Ralber Jars on Connie's Forecast By FRANK REII.

They may make a lot of trouble yet." Cleveland Is the only town In the West which Isn't pulling for the Tigers to win not that the In dians have any love for the Yankees, but they just hate the Tigers more Cleveland won only seven games in 22 with Detroit this year and the thought of It still rankles. one of the local columnists wants to know if there are enough sanitariums in the State of Michigan to take care of the Detroit fans who will go crazy if the Tigers miss out. Newsom Still Pugnacious Buck Newsom, who was even too wild for the Dodgers, still wants to fight Umpire Donnelly Newsom of the Browns would have won his 15th victory of the season if Donnelly had called that Yankee game at the end of the fifth instead of waiting until the sixth when Lou Gehrig poled out his winning home to take matters worse Paul Dean won his loth game on the next day and sent Buck another one of those telegrams that have been flying between the two ever since the season started.

"There isn't much hitting, no base running of any account and most of the action centers around the pitcher who almost always strikes out at least ten men In every game. I wish the same luck for George Sisler's sake but personally I can't go for it."

Their's was a grand battle fought in the rain. Topping gained a lead early. He rounded the turn two up, increased his lead to three up. But the curly-haired Long Islander whittled it down to a single hole and then found himself unable to make a firm bid for a putt to square the match.

Pontiac Handicap Won by Our Count Detroit. Sept. 22 (P) The $2,508 Pontiac Handicap today was an easy victory for Our Count, three-year-old gelded son of the great Reigh Count.

The handicappers generally had picked Fiji to win, but the best the Young Brothers mare could, do was third. Bahamas, which set the pace from the start almost to the stretch, fin ished second two and one-half lengths behind Our Count. Fiji was only three-quarters of a length behind Bahamas at the finish.

Miss Barbara Stoddard, into the final of the Piping Rock Club's invitation mixed foursome tournament yesterday in their semi-finals engagement against the former national women's champion, Glenna Collett Varc, and her husband, Edwin H. Vare. The victors' margin was 3 and 1.

The other finalists are a pair who started slowly, just about managed to qualify but came steadily on to their games. They are the long-hitting Ray Torgeson and the Long Island women's champion, Mrs. George Viebrock. The two Queens Valley players were the stars of the day for, despite rain, muddy going and all that, they managed to reach the turn in 38, a mere three over par, and be five up on Don O'Brien and Mrs. Marion Turpie Lake at that point.

Torgeson and Mrs. Viebrock ultimately won 5 and 4. Lose Only One Hole The Torgerson Viebrock team weren't over par for three holes starting out and these in the heavy going, are among Piping Rock's most difficult. They missed par by only one. the fourth, the seventh and ninth.

Carrying the thin? further the association is looking also for the best of the oldest players. Throughout the country operators of billiard parlors and those who own their own tables for play at home have been asked to co-operate by nominating the candidates of their territory. State competitions will eliminate players who are old enough but not good enough; inter-State matches will determine regional champions, and the two gaffers who survive the punishment to meet in the finals at New York will fight It out for the title of Oldest and Best.

The idei is akin to that out of which developed the seniors' golf championship of Amer- ica. Clyde Storer. president of the National Billiard Association, organizer of the tourney, says the association, is offering local. State and regional prizes to winners in the world series for grandpas. CUnl.

The owners arrived last week. Opposing the pick of England's representatives, will be four Yankee sailors chosen to defend the two championships now held by the United States, after a week or more of eliminations held under the auspices of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club.

(TNXINGHAM HEADS DEFENDING CREW Brigss Cunningham heads the defending crew with his speedy Lucie, undeniably the fastest 6-meter in this country. Robert Meyer's Bob-Kat II, Clarence Smith's Anis and Paul V. Shields' Challenge will round out the U. S. team, with the owners acting as skippers.

The British-American title will be failed for by the two teams. The Seawanhaka Cup is an individual championship and will involve only oen boat and skipper from each side, to be decided upon after the team races. Actually, there should be no competition between the two countries for the former trophy, for the mug was retired by America after winning two of the last three races. The Oyster Bay club reoffered it to perpetuate the series. The Americans are slight favorites to retain both cups this year.

Cunningham isa past master in the art of sailing in the light airs over Long Island Sound. Throughout the season's Yacht Racing Association regattas. Larchmont Race Week and various small races, Cunningham has compiled a good record. The three other boats have also shown up well this year, Shields' Challenge invariably assuming the runner-up position to Lucie. The Scots are not overly confident.

Ronald Teacher struck a note of doubt and hopen when he said, "Do I think we'll win? Well, truthfully, I can't see any reason why we should lose. "Our boats, I believe, are the equal of yours, and our crews are as capable as any other British tram before us. Yet I can't forget that there is something that your Yankee sailors have that we just can't seem to fathom. It's not just luck either." The first race of the series will be held Tuesday afternoon and probably continue for a week, excepting Sunday. The race committee will be headed by Duncan Sterling with Henry Anderson, Clinton H.

Crane, Gherardl Davis. Johnston deForest, Charles E. Frank BromleyS. Stone and Joseph W. Outerbridge lending a hnnd.

In each race the first yacht to finish will receive eight and one quarter points, the second seven, the third six and so on, the eighth boat receiving one point for completing the course. The team scoring the greatest number of points in each race will be the winner of that race and the championship will be decided by the winner of that race and the championship will be decided by the first team to win four races. McNEELY TO RETIRE Earl McNeely, president, manager, owner and pinch-hitter of the Sacramento club, announced he would retire as the Sacs' skipper and would name some one else to pilot the team nexseason. A flock of applicants have already applied for the job, but McNeely will not make a decision until the minor league meeting at Louisville. RI ETHER GETS ALONG Dutch Ruether, manager of the Seattle club, who lirst signed with the Indians at 130 a week and was made manager when George Burns was deposed, without any set sum beine determined as his pay, will receive a contract for 1935 calling for $5,000, it is said.

Rusher not only put new life into the Indians after he took hold, but the new interest displayed in the club, as a consequence, is making it possible for the owners to go ahead with plans for the building of modern home next winter. BROWN LET LOOSE Joe Biown, veteran third ba.se-man, has been released by Toronto. He w.is troubled all year with a sore arm. Joe had been in the International League since 1920, playing with several teams FIVE STEALS FOR HASSETT Burijy Hassett, first baseman of the Norfolk Tars, proved that base stealing, is not a lost art. when he swiped five hassocks in the second game of a double-header with Charlotte.

Daylight gating Tim Nebraska Has Task in Getting Sub for Saner No Easy Joh to Re-place All -America Back in '31 Lineup Lincoln, Neb. George Sauer stepped out of the University of Nebraska an Ail-American fullback but there's no star to step into his spot in the Cornhusker football picture this Fall. Even if Coach Dana X. Bible could take the composite merits of his backfield posibilitie, he till would fall short of having a Sauer, the rampaging 195-pounder who plunged, passed, kicked and tackled his way to a position of national leadership.

Bauer Returns Henry Bauer, who campaigned with Sauer through high school, freshman football and one year of varsity play, is back after a two-year absence from Cornhusker ranks, ansi he may plug the pass ing gap left by the end of Sauer's career. Johnny Williams, who filled Sauer's shoes in the important Iowa game last Fall and helped to hold slippery Joe Laws, big Dick Crayne and company to a single touchdown, might replace Sauer's great defensive work at backing up the line. A shortage of center material, however, may cause Coach Bible to convert Williams into a substitute at the pivot spot. Bid From Francis Sam Francis, Kansas sophomore, who kicks and passes from the port side, will bid for a fullback berth and may be the punter Bible Is seeking to succeed the great kickers headed by Sauer who have performed in scarlet togs the last five years. John Howell, brother of "Blue'' Howell, Nebraska star a few years ago, is another sophomore after the fullback job.

Glenn Skcwes, 170-pound triple- threat back who understudied Sauer the last two years, is another prospect but he lacks the terrific driving power with which Sauer broke away from tacklers in the line or in the open. RAY SCIIALK RE-SIGNED Ray Schalk will be retained as manager of the Buffalo Bisons in 1935, President Frank J. Offermann has announced. The former Chicago White Sox catcher and manager has been pilot of the Bisons since 1032. Standings in National League YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Union, New York.

At least It's the most important question for the average golfer and one has the August issue of The Rotarian to thank for some real attempt to answer It. There's an article by Francis Ouimet, the eminent Bostonian who has won the national amateur and open titles, on "Putting Begins at Home." "Two of the greatest golfers of their time were Chick Evans and Harry Vardon," says Ouimet.

"They were almost perfect from tee to green, but once on the soft grass their troubles began. They had their days when they could do the almost miraculous on the green, but on the whole, they were mediocre putters. Lacked Sound Stroke "Why? My own opinion is that neither Evans nor Vardon developed a sound putting stroke. Frequent discouraging failures deprived them of the essential confidence with the result that they did not stick to one technique but frequently shifted. "It Is not easy, I know, to go along missing holeable putts without making some effort to correct the fault with a new style.

Usually, when asked for a tip, I suggest a change In putters instead of trying an entirely new stroke. It is important to learn the best style at the outset and then have few bad habits to unlearn. "In the actual stroke, the putter should finish low. You do not need to lift the ball, you know, but merely send it along the ground smoothly. Against Conceding "Never concede a putt.

That may not sound like sportsmanlike advice but if every golfer were to adopt it I think the game woyld be the better for it. "After all, it is in the short putts that skill counts most. Everyone holes a putt sometimes from the NEW CLASS LOOP A new Class to oper ate in central Nebraska is being agitated for next season. Among the towns considered for member ship are Grand Island, Kearney, Holdrege, Lexington, Hastings, Eus-tis, Minden ami Ravenna. The league would not operate as has the Nebraska State League, but each club would pay its own way, with no pooling of receipts or of players.

On Oct. 4 the opening gun of the duck season will be fired in New ork State, although Long Islanders will have to wait until Oct. 25 and Jerseyites until Oct. 18 before the first of the 30 days of shooting allowed by the law. The average borough fan who seeks wild waterfowl knows little about the finer points fthe business of Judging the best weather and how to hunt for the birds.

Generally, he relies on a guide, but inasmuch as guides are beyond the pocketbooks of many, the following information may prove helpful in planning your Jaunts this Fall. When the day is right for duck shooting it usually is wrong for any other kind of hunting. If possible pick a stormy day during the seasonal flight and though your teeth chatter and your toes are nearly frozen there will be shooting that day and plenty of it. If you know how to call ducks properly your chance of a sizeable Jf re lmP.rov,ed 100 Percent. But it is a flilticult art which only a comparative few know.

The best imitations of duck calls are those done without an artificial device but to imitate the call of the wild birds Is a talent with which only a few are blessed. For non-diving ducks use the mallard call; for diving ducks or deep water birds use the blueblll. In the first type may be classed mallard, pidgeon, teal gray spoonbill and black ducks. For deep water ducks, redheads, bluebills, broadbills, whistlers and butterballs. It is also well to master the purring call of the redhead.

The blueblll is the most persistcna caller. Listen on some calm day and you will hear this chattery chap talking to every passing bird. Call to attract the bird's attention to the decoys; then modulate your call. Sound travels a long way on STANDING OF THE CLUBS Won Lost Pet. 'O B.
