Lou Gehrig Increases His Batting Lead In American League's Scramble New Net Stars Rise In California, Of Course Qram MEDWICK IS STILL ATOP OTHER LOOP BROWNIES, REDS CLIMB IN LEAGUES Youth Starts Serving BOXING AND WRESTLING KNOWN 5000 YEARS AGO BOY AND GIRL TO CARRY ON WEST'S TIME-WORN REIGN Newcomers Are Frank Kovacs, 17-Year Old Oakland Ace, and Miss Patricia Canning, Alameda Maiden, Only 15' I Tl i i Jr 1 I ssssH Frank Kovacs, above, and Patricia Canning, inset, are newest tennis stars to bloom on California's tennis courts. Kovacs, 17, went to finals of men's state championship, and is hailed as a coming great Miss Canning, only 15, went to quarter-finals of women's tournament.

Mike Jacobs Talks Million-Dollar Gate for Braddock-Louis Bout, But Experts See At Most, $800,000. he lost in straight sets, winning only three games. "I'm positive that heU win the national championship before long. He can't fall," is Murio's comment. The youngster is being coached by George Hudson, painstaking professional of the Berkeley Tennis Club.

George is confident that he's coaching the successor to Don Budge's American "He's the greatest prospect I've ever iseen," says Hudson. "He's going to be a sensation back east. I don't want to bring him along too fast or dull his edge by too much tournament play and so I'm going to let him compete in only a few selected tournaments. He's got plenty of time yet." New Queen Rising, Too Kovacs, however, is not the only young tennis star coming along to carry on California's dynasty of the courts. Along with the new king- to-be, a new queen-to-be has been born.

She is Patricia Canning of Alameda, Calif. Patricia is only 15, but after winning the junior girls' championship she walked across the road, entered the womens tournament and went all the way to the quarter-finals before being eliminated. And now the experts are saying that she is next in line in that long string of California women stars May Sutton, Hazel Hotchkiss, Mary K. Browne, Helen Wills Moody, Helen Jacobs and the present queen, Alice Marble. Thus, with Miss Canning and young Kovacs coming along, and no other precincts being heard from, it would appear that California will continue to be the capital of the tennis world.

It's only natural, too. The. boys and girls out there have every reason to be the best. Not only do they have the ideal weather, but they have the inspiration provided by their champions of yesterday. Don't the young men of Gloucester become fishermen? Well, for the very same reason the young people of California become tennis stars.

BRESSI'S TEAM TAKES OPENER Bressi'S Meat Market team made its debut In the Kulpmont WPA Recreation League last night by taking over the Sugar Bowlers by a score of 8 to 4. Both teams were handicapped by a wet slippery field making fielding and base running a difficult task. Hard hitting featured for both teams but Bressi's bunched more hits than the Bowlers. Featuring for Bressi's was Cain with his hit ting and fielding and for the Sa gon Bowlers, Dallas with his pitch ing, having seven strikeouts, and Macheskie with his hitting, having three hits out of four trips to the platter.

Take, for instance, Ray Matulewicz, Kount Carmel boy who twice won national intercollegiate boxing championships for the Southern 6chool.

And how about "Chubby" Dean and Wayne Ambler who went right from the college campus to the Philadelphia Athletics? MAYBE IT'S SO Wayne Ambler, Just a recent In field addition to Connie Mack's flock, has been termed "a second Eddie Collins." That's saying quite a lot. especially coming so early in the youngster's professional career. Maybe, it's so and, maybe, it's only a little press agentry. You take your choice. BEST HE SAW Everything said and done, Duke is developing likely-looking ball players.

Jack Coombs, one of the greatest of all-time major league pitchers who now coaches the sport at the Durham university, believes his 1937 team was the best college outfit he ever saw. He is in a position to know what's what because he's been around quite a bit. EVERYTHING SET 1 AH rumors about Chet Rogowicz pot going to Pottsville High School fiext term in a teaching-coaching role have been dispelled. The molder of basketball champions, who signed couple of months ago with the Crimson at a nice salary, has sent in his resignation to Newport Township, making everything okey-dokey ill around. JUST SO-SO Walter Farquhar, veteran sports editor of the Pottsville Journal, is so-so about the new national inter-scholastic football rules to be played by Pennsylvania high schools teams this year instead of the intercol legiate standards.

He sees a new avenue to. develop a team's attack but, at the same time, he bemoans the lack of uniformity with the college game! which, you know, quite a few boys take up after finishing high school.

Coming Title Fight Really Is Odd Scrap No Scandals, Kidnaping or Shootings Linked With Tuesday's Bout By Henry McLemore (United Press Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, June 19. (U.R) With the world's heavyweight championship fight only a few days away, the experts are frankly banted. They are borrowing the words of the late, great Tex Rickard, muttering, "I never seed nothing like it." And the chances are they never did. Here we are on what might be called the very eve of the meeting between Joe Louis and Jim Braddock and there hasn't been a single scandal.

Nobody has called any names. There have been no sinister rumors. There have been no tales of kidnaping, shootings, rescues in the lake, secret training tactics, poisonings, gangster influence or what is sometimes called, in a facetious vein, of course, "the fix." In other words this is, to all outward appearances, going to be an up-and-up fight between Louis and Braddock for the world's heavyweight championship. No one seems to find the situation in the least disconcerting except the experts, 500 strong and gathered in Chicago's liquid loop. One report has it that Comiskey Park, where the fight will be held, has been sold out for days.

The official estimate a week ago placed the money in the bank at $600,000, but today the figure was still Yet another report has it that there are plenty of choice seats available. A few facts, however, have been attested. Both warriors rested today, building strength and character for the coming encounter. The champion Braddock played what he calls golf, but which one of his sparring partners calls "digging." Louis was even more relaxed with the fight only three days off. He spent most of his waking hours, which constitute about ten per cent of the day, playing the mouth organ.

They will both work tomor row. Both have dedicated Monday to thinking. On Tuesday the champion and the challenger will weigh in at high noon and fight, If all goes according to schedule, that evening. The only sure thing about this fight is that it will set some sort of all-time low for betting. There doesn't seem to be a Braddock dime in even at 2 to 1.

Sammy Wolf and Babe Barron, the local Jack Doyles, have $25,000 to place on Louis at those odds and haven't even had a phone call. Anyway you look at it the fight is very baffling to the assembled ex perts, who are so confused that they can't even pick the winner. And when you get an expert who doesn't know the winner of a fight, you ve really got something. TWO GAMES SLATED TOMORROW IN LOOP The Atlas Fire Company and Pizzoli's club are scheduled to battle tomorrow in the Atlas Softball League at 2:00 p. m.

In another game, Mashy's and the Owls outfit will clash at 3:15 p. m. Both encounters scheduled for yesterday were postponed due to wet grounds. ATLAS LEAGUE CALLS MEETING OF LEADERS The Atlas Softball League will hold an important meeting tomorrow evening at 6:30 p. m.

Gehrig improved his average from .380 to 394 and leads his nearest rival, Cecil Travis, Washington shortstop, by 16 points whereas last week he enjoyed a single point advantage over Hank Greenberg, Detroit. Beau Bell, St. Louis, held third place with .371. Joe Medwick, St.

Louis Cardinals' outfielder, continued to set the pace in the National League, with an average of .416, three points higher than a week ago. Arky Vaughan, Pittsburgh, held second place but slipped from .381 to .378. Buck Jordan, Cincinnati, held third place with a mark of .375. Lou Gehrig Monte Pearson, Yankees, and Johnny Allen, Cleveland, who were traded for each other last year, share the American League pitching lead each with 4 victories and no defeats.

At least 40,000 failed to get as much as a glimpse of even a fraction of the late Dave Barry's long count the night Jack Dempsey nailed Gene Tunney at Soldiers' Field. But what is vastly more important to Jacobs is the large difference between the 25 per cent the park commissioners demanded for Soldiers' Field and the $22,000 flat for which the promoters obtained the use of Comiskey Park.

Based on a gross of $800,000, the fee makes the rental about 3H per cent. A complete sellouWould mean a gross approximately $1,250,000, with the tariff at $27.50, $16.50, $11, $6, and $3.50. No Referee Squabble Because the Illinois board backed Braddock so well in his runout on Schmeling Gould says there will be no squabble in regard to the referee. There may be legal entanglements as the result of Braddock taking the powder in New York, but Jacobs can be depended upon to see that the Irishman gets his swag. And Braddock, not so long ago on relief, will go down in history as having drawn down the healthiest percentage ever paida fighting man.

St. Louis and Cincinnati Now On Way Out of Cellars In Majors By George Kirksey (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June 19. OJ.R) Eighth, place in the two major leagues may have new tennants by sundown. The present occupants, the St. Louis Borwns and the Cincinnati Reds, have served notice that they're moving out of the cellar.

Charley Dres-sen's Reds were virtually 'tied for seventh place in the National League today only a difference in the matter of games played keeping them in 5 last place. The Browns are only 'i half a game be low seventh place in the American presscn League. A few days ago a rumor buzzed around baseball circles that Rogers Hornsby was on his way out as manager of the Browns. What little truth there is in the report may be squelched with the Browns record of late. They have won eight out of their last 10 games.

St. Louis clipped its third straight victory yesterday by de feating Washington, 6-0, behind Oral Hildebrand'f two-hit pitching. Al Simmons. Washington, and Billy Knicker bocker, St. Louis, were banished after a free-for-all fight when Sim mons charged that Hildebrand "bean" him.

Hornsby attempted to Cincinnati scored its third by spotting triumph in four starts the Giants three runs and defeating Carl Hubbell 5-3. Augie Galan's triple with the bases loaded in the ninth enabled the Chicago Cubs to score three runs and defeat the Phillies, 8-7. Clyde Shoun, working in a relief role, received credit for his sixth triumph. The Cubs made 15 hits off four Philly pitchers. The victory gave the Cubs a full game lead over the Giants.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Boston Bees, 5-2, and climbed within a game and a half of the Giants. Van Mungo lost a heart-breaking game to Pittsburgh when Jimmy Bucher's wild throw with two men on and two out in the eighth sent Brooklyn down to a 6-4 defeat. The score was tied 4-4 when Bucher made his costly error and the two winning runs came home. John Winsett had hit a homer in the Dodger eighth to tie the score.

Catcher Al Todd, Pirates, hit a triple, double, and single to lead the Pirates' 10-hit offense. In the only other American League game the Boston Red Sox scored their fifth straight by nosing out Cleveland, 5-4, and moved over the Indians into fourth place. Yesterday's hero: Take your pick Augie Galan's triple which gave the Cubs three runs in the ninth and victory; Oral Hildebrand's two-hit pitching for the Browns against Washington; Lee Grissom, Red's southpaw, who spotted Carl Hubbel 3 runs and then beat him; Dominic Dallesandro, whose pinch-hit single in the eighth drove home the run which gave the Red Sox their fifth straight triumph. BOYS' LEAGUE SET TO GO WITH EIGHT CLUBS A boys'. baseball league has Anally been rounded out here with the ad mittance of eight teams.

The loop is made up of the Sons of Legion, Panthers, Rangers, Camp-town Cubs, Cardinals, Birdeye Nine, Polish Cadets nd Diamondtown Olubs will begin play next week with all games slated to get underway at 2:30 p.m. The schedule for the first week was announced as follows: Wednesday, June 23 Panthers vs. Sons of Legion, Legion Field.

First he makes a nest and carries each newly spawned raaby to it and then spends his time fighting off the mother to prevent her from eating the youngsters alive. A new star Is beginning to blink high up in the tennis firmament and, of course, he's a Californlan.

His name is Frank Kovacs and the boys out there in the land where real estate lots that aren't littered with moving picture studios are leveled into tennis courts are saying that its a name you.il be hearing a lot from now on. The slim, 17-year-old, Oakland lad with the Hungarian blood is headed, sure as shooting, for the national championship inside three, four years, they say. In fact, the experts are thinking that Kovacs will go farther than any of the great California net stars of yesterday and today farther than ired-headed Maurice Me-Loughlin, little Bill Johnston, Lindley Murray, Johnny Doeg, Lester Stoefen, Ellsworth Vines and Don Budge. The critics believe this even though Kovacs was beaten in the finals of the California State Championship tournament at Berkeley, his first big test. Dick Bennett of the University of California tennis team defeated him in five sets.

Observers, however, were delighted! with young Kovacs fcrm and strokes and debited the loss to his inexperience and immaturity. You see, he hasn't finished growing and tired naturally. After winning the first two sets quite easily, 3-6, 2-6, he dropped the next three, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. Pop Fuller Praises Him Pop Fuller, the wise old fellow who coached Mrs. Helen Wills Moody and Helen Jacobs to cham pionships, says that Kovacs is the best player of his age in America today "He can't miss winning the National Junior championship this year," says Pop, who usually is as right as the dictionary.

John Murio, former California state champion, says Kovacs is better at 17 years of age than Don Budge, America's present No. 1 racquetear, was at the same stage of his career. Murio should be a good Judge. He opposed Budge, when the red-head was 17, in various tournaments around the state and generally held his own. Against Kovacs in this year's state tourney NET STARS IN BIG TOURNEY Tomorrow being an open date in the schedules of the Lehigh District and tennis leagues, quite a few of the net stars will compete, in the Lehigh Valley District Tennis Association's men's singles cham pionship tournament which starts today at the Bethlehem tennis Club in Bethlehem.

A new event on the Pennsylvania tennis calendar, the tournament has attracted the best players in the Lehigh district and bids fair to be come an outstanding success.

By Harry Grayson Sports Editor, NEA Service CHICAGO, June 19.

(U.R) James J. Braddock didn't ask for a benefit three years ago when he did jani tor work to keep a roof over the heads of his wife and three young children and trudged New Jersey wharves seeking work as a long-shoring extra. Braddock should never again need a benefit after he defends the world heavyweight championship against Joe Louis- at Comiskey Park, June 22. And if Jersey Jim gets over the Brown Bomber and moves into a scrap with Max Schmeling in September, he'll practically be in the same class with Andy Mellon. Joe Gould took his good time making a satisfactory financial deal for the titleholder, but closed an excellent one when he got around to it.

Braddock isn't getting any guarantee, as you may have suspected, but he's collecting 50 per cent of the net, which expert prog-nosticators of pugilistic plunder say will be something like $325,000. Braddock collects something like $65,000 additional before he lashes himself into battle for picture and radio rights, $10,000 for training at Golfmore, Grand Beach, etc. The Family Fighter should come out of his current venture with nearly $400,000, which Is all they figured a battle with Max Schmel-1 ing would draw. Jacobs Cleans Up Mike Jacobs, the old Broadway ticket scalper, still talks of a million, but trained observers say the show will do well to gross $800,000. Federal and state tax totals 20 per cent.

Jacobs is giving the principals 67 per cent and making plenty of accounts, which shows what a promoter can do when operating on his own. Louis' drag is 17 per cent. Joe Foley merely is the local front man, and Sheldon Clark and none of the other Chicago bigwigs are mixed up in the staging of the production. There is a wide variation in advance sale estimates. Gould tells you that there already is $500,000 in the damper.

Jacobs, who should know, sets the figure at $400,000. A more likely gueS Is $300,000. Gould and Jacobs obviously base their totals on blocks of ducats many of them huge that have been consigned to agencies and individuals. For instance, a raft of choice sets have been placed at the disposal of Joe Triner, handsome chairman of the Illinois Boxing Commission, to supply the needs of influential poli tical powers who no doubt will wind up going through on Annie Oakleys, anyway. $22,000 Flat for Park Jacobs made a good deal when he turned down spacious Soldiers' Field at a 25 per cent rental and moved his extravaganza Into Comiskey Park.

ROY HEMMING IS STATE AMATEUR i'ARGET CHAMP Roy Hemming of Reading held the Pennsylvania State Amateur Target Championship today after smashing 200 straight targets in the 47th annual state contest at Sha- mokin. Hemming, a former New York-Pennsylvania League pitcher, broke a deadlock of four marksmen, tied at 199, to succeed Steve M.

Crothers, of Chestnut Hill. The shoot was held in the face of a heavy down-poor. Tied for second were Crothers, Walter S. Beaver, of Berwyn, North American Targets Champion, Otis S. Sked, of Wilkes-Barre, and Alex C.

Schwartz. Crothers, who will defend his amateur handicap and all around championships in the closing events of the contest today won the shoot-off with 150 clays. E. H. Storr, Harrisburg, won the professional championship with 194 targets over the defending titlist, J.

M. Hawkins, also of Harrisburg, who cracked 191. Mrs. Fred Hess, of Philadelphia, retained the women's amateur title with a score of 187, bettering last year's record by 10 targets.
