Jumping into a 3-1 lead in the first innings mainly on the strength of Freddie Bradley's three base wallop with two on. the win- ners were never headed. They add- ed another trio of runs in the sec- ond on five more hits and gamer- ed their remaining counters in the third and fifth. The Holy ReCvm- er's other run came in the sixfi.

With the exception of the first two frames the game was closely contested throiighout. Ernie Robin. portside ace of the Falcons. was in great form. After allowing two hits and one run in the first in- ning Robin settled down and in the remaining five frames was nicked for only two more hits- He struck out five batters. It was fine pitching and well deservinr i’ a win.

"Puddy" Connors was on the mound for the losers. Wobbly in the first two frames, he yielded six hits and this combined with some erratic support, chalked up six runs against him. But like his opponent he was near invincible the remainder of the game.

Scottish Teams A ll Set For Soccer. Season

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

GLASGOW. August ll-Scottish soccer clubs are optimistic regard- ing the 1935-36 season which opens Saturday. Economic condtions have continued to improve since the be- ginning of the year when better at- tendances were reflected in the balance sheets of the various clubs. Directors hope for bigger "gates" than for many years.

Glasgow Rangers, Champlcns and cup-holders. who meet Arbroth. new comers to first division foot- ball, 0n Saturday at Ibrax Park, have made practically no change in their personnel. On their record of lasty ear they will again play a big part in the coming campaign.

CELTTC STRENGTHENED

Celtic, rival of Rangers for years, has dissapoinicd its supporters for some time and this year presents a revamped tea-m.

There will be little change in ‘hi? Heart of Midlothion team but Ar- broth has been strengthened by the signing of J. A. Johnson, Heart's international half-back who will operate alongside Colin McNab, the old Dundee player.

With a fine balance sheet Hamil- ton Acsdemicals, like the Rangers, will persent their cup-final line-up, but Motherwell will show changes. Kiimarnock expects to get first class service from last year's side and Queen of ‘the South has brought back J. G. Dell. inside for- ward transferred to Preston North End two years ago.

TAKES 0N JUNIORS

Transferring William Miller and R. Donnelly, Patrick ‘rhistle cleared its bank overdraft and will have junior players replacing the two stars. Third Lanark return to the Upper Circle with high hopes.

Queen's Park has lost T. H. Bremner to Motherwell and W. Lyon to Celtic while H. Souter. Glasgow University find of last season has resigned. Clyde. as usual. has been confining its activities t0 Junior clubs and Aberdeen. Hiber- nians and Dundee have signed few new payers.

All Airdrieonian players have signed for the coming season with the exception of W. Thompson. capable left-half. Albion Rovers have several players on the sick list. Dunfermline has retained the play- ers who avoided relegation so {en- sationally early this year. St. John- stone has settled on its team with the exception of the centre-forward position. _

Louis NotYet Rated Among Ring Greats

‘(By Edward .I. Neih

(Associated Press Sports writ"; (A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK. Aug. ll-Still dam“ by the tan lightning of Joe Louis, the fight clans started drifting back to Broadway from Chicago m. day with only one voice holding out against the greatness of the negro warrior. It was the voice of the loser m the Jomotional war that has been providing a. bong-up semi-final to all the big heavyweight duels of the season. it was the voice of James J. Johnston, match-maker at Madison Square Garden. whose m, in the season's heavyweight man. oeuvrinl. Max Baer. now has moved over i0 the side of the enemy. Mike Jacobs and the 20th Century Sport,- ing Club, for the privilege of samp- ling Louis leather next month

Yet To Win Spurs

I don't say he may not be a great fighter." dhlilled Johnston, "but hes still got to do more ihsn whip s. panic-stricken Primo Car- ners. and a frightened-silly King Levinsky for me before I start bracketing him with Dempsey. Fits- simrnons, Jeffries and Corbett." With the Louis-Baer match wait- ing only Mike Jacobs’ arrival for the official posting of the site as the Polo Grounds. the date Sept. 26. Johnston was busy building up interest in the situation for his opposition.

He refused lo discuss well ground- ed reports that when the time comes the Garden and the 30th Century Club will gently pool that: interests for the sake of promoting next summer a 310001100 heal‘?- weight title match between Jimmy Braddock and Louis. The Garden has Braddock as completely tied In as Jacobs has Louis.

Beer's Attitude Mysterious

"Furthermore," said Johnstm, "don't be betting that Baer will fight Louis anymore than you would that Schmellng will come over here. It's might mysterious the way Beer's sore hands healed over- night. I1 his hands weren't hurt against Braddock. then it was hi! courage that wasn't so good. And if his courage wasn't good against Braddock, he'll die just thinking of mills."
