Al Singer Has No Trouble With Denver Collegian Chicago, Ills, Oct. 15--Al Singer, newly crowned lightweight champion, engaging in his first lightweight match since knocking out Sammy Mandell in one round, last July, casily defeated, Eddie Mack, the Den- ver Collegian, in_a ten round, one- sided matoh in the Chicago Stadium last night. A crowd of 10,000 spectators wat- ched Singer chase Mack around the ring from the opening bell until the finish, Singer won nine of the ten rounds, with Mack showing only a flash in the fifth. In all other rounds Mack was in full retreat, and when Singer did catch up with him he grabbed and held on for dear life. Mack, a tall, straight boxer, at least a head taller than the world's champion, confined his offensive ef- forts to a light jab and a frightened right cross which he let go as Sing- er came booming in on him. For the most part, however, he was busy run- ning backwards around the ring, try- ing to escape from Singer's two-fist- ed attack to the head and body.

It gppears that mountain was made out of a mole fll and that the champion acted according to the rules. After leay- ing or being hurled from the ring by Freedy Meyers he ignored the referee's orders to return, as he knew that he should be allowed ten seconds and he alleges that the arbiter ruled in favor of a fall for Meyers after a delay of only a few seconds. Mrs. O.S. Hill and Glenna Collett Both Victorious ' Los Angeles Country Club, Lok Angeles, Calif, Oct. 15.--Led by the brilliant defending champion, Glenna Collett, and the Tmperturb- able Mrs. O. 8. Hill of Kansas City, medaligg, favorites, with one exception, stroked their way to victories yesterday in first-round matches of the 1930 women's na- tional amateur golf championship. The upset, unexpected, but nevertheless not as spectacular as the rankings of the participants would indicate, saw Miss Edith Quier of Reading, Pa., member of this year's international cup team, defeated by Mrs. Brent Potter of San Jose, Calif, two up. Mrs. Potter, =a veteran cam- paigner, never has engaged in a major tournament before, but among her golfing souvenirs is a Northern California titlé, and this year she reached the runner-up station in the State championship She outsteadied her younger op- ponent throughout, and was two up at the turn. Mrs. Potter had a 41 for the first nine to 43.for Miss Quier. Miss Collétt's Fine Play Miss Collett, seeking her third successive title and fifth all-time championship, set an unbeatable pace to eliminate Mrs. Harry Grossman of Los Angeles, 6 and 4. The New York star, seasoned by long competition, snatched the first four holes before her rival could gain her bearings, Marty Gold Takes Win from Goodrich Toronto, Oct, 15. --Experience, as represented by Marty Gold of Phil- adelphia, beat Ambition, the role filled by Johnny Gooderich, in the final bout of the Shamrock A.C. box- ing show at the Arena Gardens last evening. The Quaker City veter- an hit too hard and knew a little too much for the Toledo lad who as was the case the previous 'week against Willie Davies, nevertheless gave a very good account of him- self. / A knockdown for the count 'of nine, scored by Gold in the second round, and his good boxing in the last two rounds in which Goodrich tired somewhat, entitled the win- ner to the verdict. Goodrich out- hit him at times, but was unable to maintain the advantage at such times as he held.it.. While the ac- tion ®as inclined to slow mlittle in the closing rounds, the bout was strenuously contested and quite sat- isfactory. Loser Makes (Good Showing That Gooderich acquitted himself very creditably none can deny. He boxed a man who has a punch as hard as that possessed by any other fiyweight with the possible excep- tion of Belanger when he is at his best. The former Toledo boy was subjected to some solid blows, but he stood up under all but the one that floored lim and did no back: ing away. Going Into the sixth round the men were on practically even terms. The boxing work in the sixth session produced no ad- vantage for either, ad it was Gold's work in thé last two rounds that entitl@l him to the decision.

They reported to Coach Rodden tonight, feeling none the injuries received on the Western trip, and it is safe to say that the 20-year-old find, Dave Sprague, will also be in the line-up. "Sprague was present tonight when practice started, but did not get info uni: form on advice of the club doctor. Sprague also suffered a leg Injury last Saturday that had given him considegable pain. THRIFT, COURAGE BUSINESS NEEDS Stable Prosperity Will Fol low Cessation of Reck- less Spending New Orleans, Oct. 15.--Prosper- ity is 'not just around the corner" and only the pioneer qualities of courage, character and thrift will bring about a stable prosperity, de- clared Eugene Black, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlan- ta, in an address before 600 dele- gates to the convention of the In- vestment Bankers Association of America, y "Cease living on credit in an at- mosphere of lfxuries," Black ad- vised, "If the mortgages on all the farms in America were paid, there wouldn't be any farm problem, and it business had a secondary reserve, s the banks have, there would be [minty little business problem." In attacking the problem of de- pression, the United Statés should consider itself a part of the world at large, and not an isolated entity, he said. ; The world today is trying to re- cover from the waste of man-power that lies in Flanders flelds. America is faced with world-wide depression and cannot remain isolated and North Bay J rs, Protest B. C. I. 5-4 Victory North Bay, 'Oct. 15.--Disregard of the rules by the umpire are men- tioned by the management of the Black Cats as the Buason for pro- testing the gamg last Saturday at Brantford, in which the Black Cats, . . Northern Ontario . junfor cham- pions, met defeat by Brantford by 6~--4 in a 13-Innings game, It was the first of the finals for the O.A. S.A, junior championship. The pro- test was announced last night, and had been regularly forwarded to Major G. C, McArthur, Guelph, Presi dent of the assoriation. The North Bay team is scheduled to meet Brantford here on Saturday. The claims of the locals are bas- ed on the allegation that the Brant. ford catcher was guilty of bat "tip- ping" several times, and it fs clajm- ed that Rule 39, Section 3, which provides that the batter becomes a base-runner if the catcher inter- feres with his bat, was not enforced at any time. Affidavits of players handicapped by tipping and of wit- nesses who saw it, have accompani- ed the protest. When the attention of the um- pire was culled to the offense after the catcher had been guilty of it twice in the second inning, the um- pire at the plate is said to have told the manager of 'the locAls that the North Bay boys were standing too far back of the plate, and that the batters' box only extended five in- ches back of the heel of the plate. The umpire is said to have refused to consult the rule book, in which Rule No. 1 states that the batter's box 'extends back three feet behind-~ the centre line of the Home plate. The locals feel that this disregard of the rules placed the affected bat- ters under a handicap. T0 GIVE STRANGE HEALTH THEORY A LENGTHY TEST Sun Rays, y Vegetable Diet, Among Suggestions of Wealthy Man St. Louis.--A Swiss villa has been sclected and plans have been com- pleted for a practical test of a theory to lengthen life held by Park G. Hammer, wealthy, retired paint man- ufacturer of St. Louis, it was an- nouriced by Hammer, The retired manufacturer, ex- pounded his long-life theories in =» book published more than a year ago, predicting the expectancy of life could be lengthened by ten active years or more if people did not walk erect, sun-rays at many periods dur- ing the day, subsisted on a vegetable dict, and lived in the nude. Hammer has just returned from Paris, where he aroused much come ment by advertising for Russian em- igres to enter a colony for his re- proposed experiments in diet, pos- ture and exercise as a means of re- building the body and prolonging life. Paris and London newspapers dub bed him "Mr. Methuselah." He says he had taken as his colla- borator and co-subject with himsel in the experiment, gDr. Paul Gregori- evitch Kouthakoff, a Russian bacter- iologist now employed in a labora- tory at Nice. Dr. Kouchakoff's wife, formerly Miss Daisy MacGregor Murray, daughter of the late Sir Robert and Lady Murray of Scotland, and her sister, Miss Helen Mary Murray, wiil also take the body rebuilding course, Hammer said. Hammer will be 67 next Christmas, Dr. Kouchakoff is 49 and the women are younger. Hammer explained he has ledsed a villa at Montreux, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Leman, known also as Lake Geneva. A course of preliminary laboratory experiments will precede the start of the experi- ment itself. Hammer, long a student of diet and physiology had no med- ical or scientific degree. Hammer said that the actual test would get under way within .a year, The St. Louisian said he interview- ed more than 100 Russians, men and women who answered his advertise: ments, for volunteers in an experi- mental colony, Most of them, he said he believed, would have carried out his programme and followed his orders if he had engaged them, but now Dr. Kouchakoff will direct tha experiment and handle details, The plan set forth in Hammer's book was for a tropical colony where the candidates for rejuvenation would sleep face downward on a log, eat in the same position, and swim m the turf from 70 minutes daily, at the beginning, to 12 hours daily at the end. The course would last 192 days. No clothing would be worn, no visit- ors received and . the entire time would be devoted to the course. Fresh cocoanut and assorted fruits were to be the diet with the ratio of 'cocanut decreasing until it should become the sole food. . \Changes have been made in the plan as a result of Dr. Kouchakoff's association with the experiment, Hammer said. yi. "Dr. Kouchakoff has convinced me the Swiss Lake region, in the matter of air and sunshine, is to be preferred to the seashore ; instead of swimming, the application of ultra- violet rays to the body while face downward on a log, or artificial bol. ster, will serve the same purpose. Dr, Kouchakoff thinks, as 1 do, that un cooked vegetables and fruits will be the best food" \ BE aI "If I'm not home from the party at 10 o'clock, don't wait for me. Wife--"No, Ill not wait for you, If you're' not home, I'll go for you work out her business problems." He arrived home at 10 o'clock.

Win From St. Mike's Toronto, Oct. 15--The University of Toronto junior football team com- pletely subdued St. Michael's College in the first game of a four game series, winning 37 to 0, on the back campus yesterday afternoon. The winner of the series plays the East- ern champions for the Intercollegi- ate junior title and judging from the form that the Blue and White show- ed yesterday, they appear to be the team to take the trip. However, the Saints have been: practising but a short time and. their condition was much inferior to that of the 'win- ners and they weakened noticeably in the second half. , The half time score was 6 to 0 for the University of Torontd squad, but from then on the Irish were unable to stave off the smashing attack of the freshmen. The Blue and White put the Saints on the defensive from the start and several plunges enabled Leachman to kick a' field goal. Twice the U. of T. twelve tried to make a major score on the third down but the Irish line held. Finally, Leach- man returned a kick and forced a rouge. Two kicks of St, Michaels blocked and an attelpted placement boot by Leachman went for a single. After a brilliant run of 40 yard by Patterson, Oillie added another. Boston's National League Team Gets New Material Boston, Oct, 15.--The Boston National League Baseball Club yes- terday announced the acquisition of Wesley Schulmerick, classy Los An- geles outfielder, and William Mec- Afee, Chicago Cub. pitching recruit, in a deal which sent Pitcher Bob Smith of the Braves to Chicago and OutfielderyJimmy Walsh to the Paci- fic Coast Club, In bringing Schulmerick and Me- Afee to Boston, the club is continu- ing its policy of obtaining likely youngsters, said Edward Cunning- ham, Secretary.

Thebaud, pride of Glouces- ter's fishing fleet, last night found themselves in much the same plight as another famous skipper of song and story. The skipper, so an old sea chant- ey goes, whistled at length but in vain for a breeze, and "a seal heard his whistle and loudly did call, 'Roll up your white canvas, jib topsail and all'." Captain Pine, some time ago in- vited: Captain Angus Walters down form the Maritime Provinces to sail a race. Captain Angus drove Blue- nose down from Nova Scotia before a spanking breeze in a little over thirty hours from Halifax--nice sailing for a fishing schooner after more than nine years on the banks, Only One Race Sailed . The schooners actually sailed a race last Thursday and Thebaud led Bluenose home handily. Since then, however, the skippers have been consistently rolling up their "jib, topsail and all" and taking their able, handsome ladies back to port because they lacked a breeze in which to sail a respectable fishere man's race, SHOOTING RABBIT, LAD KILLS CHUM Belleville Boy Fatally Injur. ed, Companion Is Not * Held Belleville, Oct.15--Jack Jollie of 18 Murney Street died last night in the General Hospital as a result of a gunshot wound in the head.
