Phil Brubaker Hardens Hands
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.—Phil Brubaker, the young thee-
logical student whose rise tn the heavyweight ranks was rudely
halted by Jack Sharkey in Boston, is started back up the ladder and
one of these days will be champion.
So believes "Bermondsey Billy” Wells, former British welter,
who is conditioning the west coaster.
"Brubaker is developing his hands. They’ve been his biggest
handicap and they’re really responding," says Wells.
A game behind Chicago, Cleve-
land, Detroit an.l Washington are

hind that trio come Tom Yawkey’s

PHONE SOO
HOUSTON. Tex., Sept. 9 (UP)
—A heated internal row flared In
the ranks of the amateur athletic
union today with J. H. Rafferty,
head of the Gulf Association of the
A. A. U., threatening legal action
against Aery Brundage, national
president.
Rafferty charged Brundage was
attempting to transfer the Nation-
al A. A. U. Convention from Hous-
ton to "his home city of Chicago”.
The conention is scheduled for
Dec. 4, 5 and 0.
The Gulf Association chief said
Brundage’s action was "unpre-
cedented" and accused the latter
of "underhanded” means.
"We will go to the courts for a
restraining order against the
transfer,” Rafferty said.
Rafferty said he had received a
letter signed by Daniel J. Ferris,
New York, secretary treasurer of
the National A. A. U., requesting
a vote by districts on the pro-
posed change before Oct. 10. Raf-
ferty said ho had been pledged
support by A. A. U. officials in
Dallas, New Orleans, Salt Lake
City, Baltimore and Jersey City.
Brundage, according to Raffer-
ty, called a meeting aboard the
liner Manhattan en route to the
Olympic games in Berlin. Seven
members of the executive commit-
tee and 22 members of the board
of governors were present, Raf-
ferty said.
Rafferty quoted-'from Ferrirf
letter.
"It was pointed out by the ma-
jority of those present that the
time taken from business and the
expense involved In attending the
Olympic games would make it
impossible to attend the convention
this year if held in Houston, and
expressed the opinion that because
of the expense and time element
Involved, the convention if held
In Houston would not be repre-
sentative or successful.”
Rafferty said Brundage’s action,
“made without even consulting the
officials of the Texas group, is a
slap in the face of the south.”
"Sportmsen the country over
will grow Indignant when they
learn that the reason offered for
proposing the change from Hous-
ton to Chicago at this late hour is
the statement that the delegates
who have made the junket to Ger-
many and met on the Manhattan
to achieve this underhand end
could not spare the time to journey
as far as Houston.”
NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (UP) —
The professional-coijpge football
argument was right back today
where it started, because the New
York Giants, Eastern pro cham-
pions, triumphed over the college
All-Stars, 12 to 2, before 30,555
spectators at the Polo Grounds
last night.
The experts were just about
getting ready to admit a good
college team can lick a good pro
can lick a good pro team as a re-
sult of the Centennial All-Stars’
7-to-6 victory over the Chicago
Bears Monday night at Dallas and
the 7-7 tie the All-Stars, coached
by Bernie Bierman of Minnesota,
played against the Detroit Lions
at Chicago Inst week, when the
Giants popped up and knocked off
the collegians.
Scoring two touchdowns through
the air in the second and fourth
periods, the Giants registered the
most decisive victory ol the pro-
college series. Until last night ro
team had been able to score more
than 7 points.
Carlisle
Softball Loop
The Magnolia Flying Fillies
were so exhausted last night from
flitting around bases for twenty-
eight runs that they allowed the
Ohio B’s to make two runs In the
sixth for a grand total of two.
After which the atlngless Bees
called it an evening and went
home without contesting the last
inning.
The Ohio A's fared little better
at the hands of the Carlisle Bar-
bers who came from behind a 3-2
deficit in the sixth, scored three
tallies on three hits and a couple
of errors to administer a neat 5-3
trimming. Barber Davis tossed
a four hit ball game while his
aids touched Butler for seven safe
base raps. Ohio played a better
defensive game but was unable to
cash in on frequent Barber errors.
The games last night left The
Mags and Barbers sharing the top
rung of the percentage roost,
neither having lost a game.
Either Prairie Lee or Stanollnd
will break Into the win column
when they meet tonight. Both
have lost two and won none.

the country.
It was brought out during Par-
liament'* debates on the subject
that one of the bigger pools took
in between a half million and a
million dollar* a week. Under the
law, operators are allowed to make
10 per cent Of the gross. This 10
per cent constitutes clear profit,
for overhead expenses do not have
to come out of thl*. It is taken
from the remaining 90 per cent.
What is left, usually about 80 per
eent of the gross, is divided among
the winner*. '
Pools are not exclusive, but aim-
ed at the masses and bets a* small'
a* two pennies are gladly accepted.
As a result, no one is overlooked,
not even children with candy
money.
Pools are of all sorts. Some fur-
nish a list of 50 or more games
with returns depending on the
number of winners checked. Others
list only 10 or 15 games and they
pay oft at a higher rate, as only
the tightest and closest contests
are included. Still others work on
some sort of point system whereby
the picking of home teams is good
for one point, visiting teams two
pointe, ties three pointe. In all
cases ties count as a loss and as
ties are much tnore common in
English football than in the Amer-
ican game, the chances of picking
10 winners from a list containing
as many as 50 games are very
■light.
One outgrowth of the pools Is
football form sheets which are sup-
posed to aid bettors in their selec-
tions. These are sold everywhere
and the English go for them just
as avidly as American race track
suckers for tout Sheets,

NEW YORK, Sept. 9— (UP)—
The Chicago White Sox, regarded
by pre-season forecasters as one of
the weakest clubs in the American
League, was the only team in tho
League today with even a math-
ematical hope of catching the
New York Yankees in the 1936
chase to the pennant.
But that singgle arithmetical
ray of sunshine is in the realm of
miracles. Jimmy Dykes’ galliant
Sox would have to win all tho
rest of their seventeen games
while tho Yanks would have to
lose their remaining 18 for the
Chicagoans to even gain a tie
with the New Yorkers.
With the battle for first place
settled as soon as the Yanks win
a game or Chicago loses one, the
Junior Circuit is transformed into
a four-way battle for second
place between the White Sox, De-
troit Tigers, Cleveland Indians
and Washington Senators, and
the Boston Red Sox cannot yet
be counted entirely out of the
fight for that position.
The White Sox yesterday ob-
literated the Tigers' last mathe-
matical possibility of tying the
Yanks when they defeated the
Bengal*, 7 to 5, which broke the
deadlock for second place in the
only game played.
