Ward CHICAGO. July I Should the Tiger fielders wear steel helmets? And suits of chain mall? Those were the questions Acting Manager Del Baker wss asking himself tonight after watching his wandering collection of halt, lame and blind athletes bow to the White Sox. 15 to 8. in the final game of the series. The victory enabled the Sox to clinch the series, two games to one, but did not drop the Tigers into fourth place.

The thoughtful Ked Sox saved Ihem that humiliation by losing to the Cliffs at Washington. Baker began to think of steel helmets snd armor after watching four of his heroic slsbmen slammed for a total of 20 base hits which Included a home run by Minter Hayes snd four other blows of various types by Jamea J. Dykes. The Round Manager cast off his whiskeit snd the weight of 41 years todsy to plsy his first game of the season. Mike Jacobs Plans in One of New NEW YORK.

Selkirk fell hard in making a running ahoetop catch of Jack Rothrot k's fly in the seventh and was tsken to a hospital with an Injured right shoulder. It wss feared that he msy hsve fractured his collar bone.

The Ysnks clustered their runs In three innings, getting two In the first and five each In the fifth and eighth.

"I hsve cabled him to be ready to sail in two weeks. In the meantime my attorney. Sol Strauss, now on his way to Europe; will see Farr and his manager and have contracts signed." Fair's acceptance of the Louis fight means he definitely is not going through with his proposed bout with Schmeling in London gate for his end or a flat guar-Sept. 1. This bout was to have been advertised as for the world heavyweight championship.

While Jacobs and his assistants were keeping the wires to London busy, Joe Jacobs, Schmeling American manager, received a cable from Der Schlager saying thst Sept. 1 had been selected as the date for the sit bout and for Jacobs to sail for England no later than Aug. 1. Jacobs professed to be as much In the dark as anyone else as to the reason for Max apparent lack of interest in another ahot at the heavyweight title. "All I know is what I read in the cables," Joe said.

A September title bout here will not causa Louis to abandon his plsnned Invasion of England next month. Nrgotiationa are now under way for him to go to London and fight either Jack Doyle, Foord or Len Harvey. "Sure, he'll go over and pick up mat 7o.oou guarantee," said Di fector General Mike Jacobs.

Makes No Difference to Joe Whether It's Farr or Maxie Informed that Tommy Farr, heavyweight champion of the British Empire, had accepted terms to meet Joe Louis in New Yovk, in September, John Rox-borough, co-manager of the new heavyweight titleholder, remarked, "That's fine.

It doesn't make any difference to Joe who they get for him Just so long as he can fight in September. "Naturally, we would have preferred Max Schmeling. Joe would rather meet Max than any one else. But all Joe is Interested in st the moment is a September fight snd it might just as well be Fsrr as snyone else." Ten Gridders Lost to Michigan Team ANN ARBOR. July 1 Harry Kipke'a 1937 victorious grid hopes sustained a jolting right cross to the chin today when it was learned that 10 promising 1937 candidates definitely were lost through ineligibility and 12 others were in summer school seeking to rehabilitate scholastic standing.

Lost to the 1937 Wolverine cause are Fabian. Muskegon Heights; Goldberg, Middleton, N. Lyons, Joe Woods, Chicago; Zielinskl, Bay City; Cash, Elmhurst, 111., Slawlnski. Saginaw, and Bowers, Pontiac. Tops among these casualties is John Jordan, of Evanston, highly rated center.

Phillips, of Bradford, and Piotrowski, of Manistee, along with Norm Nickerson, Ed Christy and Norm Pu nicker and others, are struggling in summer school for marks necessary to enable them to play in 1937. mo) TO asm By Charles P. Ward I CHICAGO. July 1 Perhape it will be juit as ell if Michael Sitrausa Jacobs postpones the meeting between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling for another year or so. For if the films of the Louis-Braddock fight give an accurals picturs of what went on in the Battle of Comiskey Park, Brother lxuis.

for all of his world title, still is somewhat less than the super-fighter the word painters nea made him out to be. The ISchlager may Schlag him again if he doesn't watch out. Louis today isn't as good a heavyweight as Tony Canzonsri was a lightweight. He came up too faU There are some trick if Ms trade that he failed to learn. Because of his great natural ability he may be able to get along without them.

But he would be i greater fighter if he knew them, and he never will attain all of his possibilities unless he lesrns them. Right now you are not so certain thst Louis knows enough to cope with a crafty, game old socker like Herr Schmeling. You say these things In all kindness to Louis and you feel that you have the right to do so. After II, you were the first to hail Louis as a great fight prospect, and you did it before any of the other members of the profession knew that such a person as Joe Louis existed. You still want to see him become the fighter he can become.

Defense of Bomber Still Only Fair THE fight films reveal that Louis has developed a fair defense against a right-hand shot to ha hiskers. But it is only fair. Sometimes when Braddock swung his right. Louis blocked It with his left which he still held a little too low for the comfort of his own followers. But most of the time Poe contented himself with ducking Jsmes' swing.

This Is a very interesting trick, but its use is fraught with dangerous possibilities. If you don't duck In time or don't duck far enough, your seconds msy hsve to send a aearchlng party out into the cheaper seats to see if they can find your head. It is doubtful that Louis will ever develop a real defense against a right-hand punch. This is because of his build, for a jesting nature made Joe in such a way that his greatest asset is at the same time his greatest weakness. Louis' greatest asset is his punch.

His long, sloping shoulders ensble him to deliver a terrific blow without apparent effort. But these long, sloping shoulders ulso make it difficult for him to block a right-hand punch like many of the good Journeymen prize fighters blocked that sort of blow. His long, sloping shoulders and his rather long neck. Good ring mechanics like Signor Canzonerl, for Instance, will block a right hand with an apparently careless flick of the shoulilers. They hunch up their left shoulder until it is in front of their chin and then get ready to let go the murderous counter.

Ivouia can't do that any more than a giraffe can. His neck is too long and his shoulders too low. He will have to learn to hold up his left hand as a matter of pro tectlon. And that will take some the sting out of his left hook a favored punch. Joe Never Wat Known at a Speed Demon THE fight pictures reveal that Louis still is slow on his feet.

But he always was slow on his feet and probably will have to get along without good footwork. That is not an impossibility for a heavy. weight. No fighter is perfect, and alow footedness will have to be accepted as an imperfection in the splendid fighting machine that is jirotner Louis. The films also reveal that Joe has not yet acquired the ring poise "in cnampton should hsve.

Es peciauy a champion who gets tunked on the mandible. When Braddock knocked him down, he did not behave like a man who was about to become the heavyweight champion of the world. He behaved like a schoolboy amateur more like a schoolboy amateur than the Joe Louis who walked down the aisle at the Forest A. C. four years ago.

Anywsy, he will going ahead with Fair." The Welshman, recent conqueror Barclay Beats Princeton Ace Reaches Semifinal in College Meet OAKMONT. July Louisiana's lanky aces, Paul Leslie snd Fred Haas, strode magnificently into the semifinals of the National Intercollegiate golf championship today along ttth Michigan Bill Barclay and Tu- lane's Vincent D'Antoni. Only the presence of Michigan's athlete keeps the semifinals from being an all Southeastern Con ference affair or even a scrap for Louisiana State honors. For Leslie and Haas, today's round wss just a breeze, but the others had to work for their leads.

Leslie overwhelmed John Hobart, of Illinois. 9 snd 8. with a brilliant third-nine stretch, snd Haas hipped Harvey Johnson, of Georgetown, 7 and 5. Barclay, conqueror of Medalist Willie Turnesa yesterday, finally outlasted Princeton's Jim Marks, and 1. In a match that was square through 32 holes.

D'An toni, Southeast' em Conference champion, merely capitalized on the late errors of Stan- ey Holditrh of Georgia Tech, to in by 4 and 3. Leslie, runner-up in last year's I ntercollegiate to Chuck Koc- Rarclay tiKt Michigan star from Detroit, couldn't handle Hobart's even par golf for six holes and was two down. Then the tide turned his way. He won the next three and was 1 up st the ninth. He never trailed thereafter.

A pair of quarterbacks put on the day's best battle. Barclay, who directs Michigan's gridders, wss slightly ahead most of the way on Marks, who has called signals st Princeton, but saw his lead vanish and had to rally to win. A bad start led to Marks' downfall. He ran into three sixes at the outset and was three down. He caught Barclay at the fourteenth but let him get away and finish the morning round 2 up.

Then Marks spurted to catch him again, sank a 25-foot putt for a birdie four and turned into the last nine 1 up. The Flint golfer squared it on the thirty-first and went ahead for good on the twenty-third, where Marks poked an iron into the woods and took a seven. Barclay also won the thirty-fourth when Marks found the rough and the Westerner equaled Marks' par four to win on the thirty-fifth. In tomorrow's 36-hole competition, Barclay meets Leslie and D'Antoni faces Haas. Marv Owen on Coast SAN JOSE, July 1 (A.

Marvin Owen, Detroit in-fielder recovering here from a fractured hand, said today that he expects to rejoin the American League club within three weeks. Pi 2vj i. i Adamick Stops Erjavec Again Fight Ended in Third by Hard Rights By W. W. Edgar Johnny Erjavec, the Duluth heavyweight, stands ready to give anybody an argument If they try to tell him that lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

Little more than a month ago, Johnny encountered Jimmy Adamick in the Olympia ring and was knocked down seven times before the bout was stopped in the ninth round. Sitting in his dressing room a few minutes later, he vowed that the Midland Mauler couldn't do tt again. "No sir," said Johnny, "he managed to catch me with a lucky punch In the first round. But he'd never do anything like that again." And Johnny meant It.

Meanwhile, despite Rosemeyer's peak speed of more than 161 miles sn hour on the straightaway, Rudolf Caracciola, of Germany, driving a Mercedes, moved to the head of the official list of qualified stars by completing his 30. mile test In 20 minutes, 58 01 seconds for an average of 85.850. His fastest lap of 86.362 miles per hour hung up a course record and served wsrning notice on the meteoric auto unions.

Rosemeyer's sverage of Wednesday for his qualification test was with a fastest Inp of 85.886. Caracciola was clocked at 155.8 on the straightaway during his test and, during sn esrlicr prsctice spin, at 158.7. Rex Mays, the Californian who will drive a Sealfast Special of Italian construction, moved up Into third place among the qualifiers with a new three-lap trial that improved his average to 84.054. Along Gasoline Alley, the Yankees are still backing Mays because of his superior ability In getting through the sharp corners. Caracciola's 30-mile trial, however, was a msrvel of consistency.

Knocking off 130 to 155 miles consistently on the straightaway, Caracciola was never below 85 miles an hour on any lap.

George Gill nd School Boy Rowe were the victims of the White Sox on slaught, but Lawson was the only one of the four who looked really bad. He relieved the Baron in the third inning and was drilled for 10 hits before he tottered off to take an early shower in the sixth. The Baroa Is Unlucky Poffenberger was touched for four hits and the same number of runs before Baker told him to call it a day after two men were gone in the third. But the Baron was the victim of bad luck as well as poor support. Two of the blows made off him were scratchy affairs.

He might have tottered through with a better break from the Fickle Jade. Gill worked only one-third of an inning and the Sox didn't have much time to treat him cruelly or barbarously. Rowe, who pitched the Isst two, wss touched for five hits and three runs In the seventh sn inning which marked his first appearance on the mound since May 31. But after getting on to the knack of pitching again the Schoolboy did better. He retired the Rox without difficulty In the last inning and may be ready for regular duty after a few more relief efforts.

Walker's Injury Uncertain The Tigers suffered another casualty today, Gerald Walker go ing out of the game with a pulled leg muscle In the fourth. It is possible that he will be lost to the American League team for the All-Star game at Washington July 7, but that will not be known def Inltely for a day or two, Trainer Denny Carroll said after the game. Vemon Kennedy started on the mound for the White Sox and continued the victory with the aid of Clinton Brown who rushed to his assistance in the seventh in ning when Ver non threstened to blow sn 11 run lead. The Tigers scored six runs in the Inning to the grest diagnst of the 6.500 loyal hits Sox fans attendance. but when the session ended they were still well behind.

The Tigers lost their only chance to win Croslln in this session, when Brown struck out both Gos-lin and Pinch Hitter Clif Bolton with the bases filled. The Tigers went behind In the third inning when the Sox scored their four runs off Poffenberger and never got close enough to the Sox after that to shout, "Hello." They got a run in the fifth but the White Sox got four in the same session, two of them as the result of Hayes' second homer of the season. The Chicagoans scored four more runs in the sixth, and after the Tigers scored six in the seventh, struck back for three more runs in the same session. The Tigers acquired their other marker in the ninth. Baron inds Trouble The Baron shut out the Sox with a bunted hit in the first two innings, but got into trouble hi the third after Radcliff scrstched a single through the box.

After Kreevich grounded to the box, Dixie Walker tripled past Fox, scoring Radcliff. The Baron then filled the bases by walking Bonura and Appling. After Hayes scored Dixie Walker with a fly to Gerald, Dykea doubled to left, scoring Bonura and Appling and sending Poffenberger to the showers. Law-son then ended the inning by getting Sewell on a liner to Goslin. A home run by Rudy York gave the Tigers a run in the fifth inning, but the Sox soon made up for that.

In the home fifth Appling singled and, after stealing second, scored on Hayea' homer into the left field stands. Singles by Dykes and Sewell, a sacrifice hit and a fielder's choice and a double play gave the Sox two more runs in the same session. The Chicago runs in the sixth were the result of singles by Bonura. Dykes and Sewell. a tnpie bv Kennedy and a single bv Radcliff.
