Sports Roundup from New York Aug 10 11 Giants All Star officials
Forty seven officials applied for jobs in the New York Giants College All Star game with many offering to work for free. Tom Thorpe seems set to receive the referee post. George Marshall can run a laundry and sew shirts but cannot drive. Sam Caplin hopes for boxers like Marty, Virginia’s champion middleweight and top swimmer. Columbia and Fordham open their football rivalry early this season with Fordham facing Southern Methodist on October 10 at Polo Grounds while Columbia meets Army across the Harlem River. Joe McCarthy keeps Lefty Gomez busy in the bullpen. George Caster, coast league ace and deputy sheriff in San Bernardino California, is part of the Athletics. Jesse Owens is praised as a triple-threat by football coaches, though he should have training in shot put and weight lifting.
