TENNIS EXPERTS,

INTO PREDICTIONS
Three Upsets Possible Me*
Lemore Opines on Idle
Day at Forest Hills
By HENRY MrLKMORE
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 4—
(UP)—Driven indoors by a rain
which converted the courts into a
perfectly delightful setting for
young ducks, but made them utter
ly useless for tennis, the critics,
over their ale yesterday, decided
upon the quarter-finalists, seml
finalists, and finalists in the na
tional championships now in prog
ress.
The critics, after much debate,
named the finalists with a deal off
finality. The men’s play today,
(hey said, will see Donald Budge
defeat Johnny Van Ryn, Bryan
Grant outlast Wilbur Hess, Sidney
Wood lick John McDiarmid, Greg
ory Mangln whip Roderich Men
eel, and Wilmer Allison take Gene
Mako, to join Frank Shields, Fred
Uerry and Enrique Maier, who al
ready are safe In the round of
eight. Then, in the quarter-finals,
Budge will beat Grant,Wood con
quer Mangin, Allison rake Maier.
and Perry dust Shields to fill the
round of four. In the semi-finals,
the critics declared, Perry, in a re
enactment of last year’s finals, will
trounce Allison, and Budge will
outlast Wood to go on to the last
round, where he will fall before
Perry.
The writer, while he is no critic
(Unless it’s true that all one has
to do to qualify as a tennis critic
is to lose one’s hat) agrees with
the above reasoning. Certainly he
agrees that Perry will march tri
umphantly to his third successive
title and thus become the first for
eigner ever to retire our national,
trophy. There are several matches,'
however, which may result in an
upset. For example, Allison is no
cinch to take Mako today. The
young Californian has been play
ing brilliantly, and Wilmer, no
longer a spry young thing, is defi
former. Menzel certainly must be
given an equal chance against
Mangin, even though he lacks the
stamina to play first-class tennis
for five sets.
It’s dangerous to put the finger
too firmly on Wood. The New
Yorker is a highly unreliable fel
low. He hasn’t been or* hris game
of late, and even McDlarmid, a
player much below Wood’s class
might easily beat him.
The Women’s semi-flnalist, the
critics agreed, would msot certain
ly be Helen Jacobs and Mrs: Phyl
linj Mulford King in the upper
half, and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fab
yaa and Kay Stammers in the low
ed. We beg to disagree with the
selection in the lower half. It is
our opinion that Carolin Babcock,
once more on the top of her game
(which means she’s the best server
and smasher In women’s tennis)
will oust Miss Stammers in the
quarter-finals. We have fallen for
Miss Stammers’ beauty but not
her game. Outside of her forehand
—and it’s a beauty—she is very
poorly equipped. Miss Babcock's
big weakness lies not in her stroke
equipment, but in her habit of go
ing to pieces in important matches.
The critics said it would be Miss
Jacobs and Mrs. Fabyan in the
final the same as last year. We
agree, but we don't agree that Miss
Jacobs will win.

So Wall Street
Picks Baer, eh?
By DAN PARKER
I WAS TALKING to a chap the other night who had it straight
from someone’s old gent who had it direct from Wall Street that the
smart money is going to be on Max Baer this time and that, therefore,
Maximum Addlepate will beat Joe Louis.
I know a gentleman who also had it straight from Wall Street in
1928 that Goldman Sachs was good stuff to buy and hold for a long
pull. They used to blame everything else on Wall Street but this is the
first time I've heard that the iniquitous lane also controlled the strange
movements in the cauliflower market.
Maybe the gentleman is right. Almost everything's been done
liefore in the pugilistic dodge. However, 1 don’t sec the logic of
the tiling. It implies that Joe Louis lias fought Ills way to a
headline spot just for the sake of doing a Humpty llumpty for
a washed-up tighter who had Ids chance and mulled it.
“Louis is controlled by racket guys,” my informant went on
to tell me. “They’re out for a cleanup this time.”
I heard the same talk before the Louis-Carnera fight. The wise
money was on Priino and Joe was going to lie down for divers reasons.
I don’t know who's behind Louis besides John Roxborough and Julthn
Black. 1 know thta these two hava been identified with the "numbers
game’’ in Detroit and Chicago. I also know that they have managed to
bring Louis to the top without having a single breath of scandal con
nected with him, and that Louis has comported himself with far more
credit than most white fighters.
If Black and Roxborougli sacrificed Louis's career at fills
stage, they would be selling their birthright lor u mess of potugc.
Joe needs only to get by Bucr and he’ll be knocking ut James
J. Bruddock's door. What’s more, Jimmy will have to answer.
There will be no other logical contender und the public wouldn't
stand for an interloper.
No colored fighter has made such progress in a year as Louis.
Nor has the outlook been more roseate for any other man of Joe’s
race since Johnson’s time. By his conduct in and out of the ring, Joe
has won the respect and in many cases, the support, of the white fans.
Now, we are expected to believe thgt he will throw away all this hard
earned advantage just for the sake of building up a white man who
should have ^tended toTiis own building up one evening in June.
In the past, the role of the colored man In the ring was akin to
that of his brethren immortalized in "That's Why, Darkies Are Born.”
“Someone had to pick cotton.
“Someone hud to plant the corn.
“Someone had to slave und be able to sing
“That’s why darkies were born.”
That applied to the Sam Langfords and the Harry Wills. When
they were In their prime, they took the leavin’s at the pugilistic table,
and often they had to stay the force of their punches In order to get
bouts with the white boys. If they wanted to live, they had to let live.
The career of Joe Louis to date has been free from all this. Joe has
insisted on the right of a colored man to tight his way to the top on
his own merits like Paul Itobeson and some of his other blood breth
ren have done in other fields. He has demonstrated that a colored
fighter who has class, conducts himself decently and insists on every
thing in connection with his career being abovt board, ean get to
the top.
It is possible that Baer will beat Louis on his merits, as many
seem to think. However, 1 don’t think so. 1 can't conceive the idea of
Baer, who was unable to tag a slow-moving lighter like Braddock, be
ing able to catch up with a shifty, fast, clever boxer like Louis. Max.
you know, can’t hit you unless you’re a stationary target as was
Camera.
As 1 see it, Louis will work in dose, hook that nicked left
of his to the body where Mux doesn't like it, and utter lie hus
brought Max’s guurd down, let fly at his chin w'lth both liunds.
Mike Cuntwcll, Baer's former trainer, suys Max can’t tuke It
around the body. Mike told me before the Braddock fight (the
result of which he correctly foretold) thut Mux used to lie awake
nights before ills bout witli Camera, thinking or what would
happen to him. Oft’ In the stilly night, us the fellow suys, Mux
would disturb the gloomy silence by waking ip Mike und asking:
“Do you think tills fellow cun hurt me around the body, Mike?”
If Max has any doubts about Louis' ability along those lines, let
me Inform him herewith that Joe's body blows don’t hurt any more
than a cannonball.

LOUIS BEGINNING
DRILLS FOR BAER
Pomptom flakes, N. 3., Sept. 4.—
(UP)—Joe Louis, Detroit hcavy
wclght, begins spurring practice
today for his Sept. 24 battle with
Max Baer, former champion, at
Yankee Stadium.
It will be the Hrst time Louis
has put on the gloves since he stif
fened King Lovlnsky in the iirst
round at Chicago on July 7.
Louis plans to open today with
six round against sparring part

BAER BOXES AND

FOR JOE LOUIS
Ex-Champion Sharpening
Two Different Styles;
Max Very Serious
Speculator, N. Y., Sept. 4.—
When Maximilian Adelbert Baer
meets the Brown Bomber Joe
Louis at the Yankee stadium on
September 24 in the fistic extrava
ganza of the 20th Century Sport
ing club you can be well assured
that the former heavyweight cham
pion will be ready in every way for
his best ring effort.
Max’s training stunts here thus
fa. indicate as much. It js an
assured fact now that the time of
the bout will find Baer in condi
ti i he has seldom before in his
career attained.
However, that is only one phase
of Max’s training preparations. Of
probably as much importance is
the observation that Baer Is suc
ceeding in perfecting a diversified
boxing style designed to meet the
requirements of facing the punch
i. _ prowess and more or less un
known boxing skill of Joe Louis.
Two Styles
Recent boxing sessions at his
Lake 1’leasant arena here have
witness Baer alternating a punch
ing and boxing style. On Thursday
of last week, for example, Baer,
from the opening gong, unleased a
stiff punching onset on three spar
mates in five rounds of boxing. His
hard, accurate punches several
times rocked his mates to their
heels. The following day Baer
elected to employ a strictly box
ing style, jabbing expertly and
evading counters in an impressive
performance.
In both styles Baer displayed the
perfection attributed to great fight
ers. Thus, it would seem that what
ever style he finds it most bene
ficial to resort to Baer will be pre
pared on the night of the 24th.
Baer’s Ancestry
With Papa Jacob Baer’s an
nouncement here a few days ago
of Max’s ancestry controversies
should cease now concerning the
matter. Max, of course, was born
at Omaha, Neb. Papa Jacob’s fath
er was a French-Jew and his
mother of Max was born of an
Ii'sh mother and a Scotch father.
What does that make Max? It
should make him a man with fol
lowers from many nationalities, we
should think.
Oddity note: It was just twenty
years to the day Jack Johnson
knocked out Jim Jeffries, that Max
Baer lost the decision to Paulino
Uzevudun in the same town of
Reno.
Max Baer began boxing bouts
here with Tony Cancela, Lou
Scozza and Ceil Harris as spar
mates.

National Champions Op=
pose Trojans, Septem=
ber 15 in Hat Town
Orangeburgh, N. Y., September
4 — With less than two weeks be
fore they face the Trojans in Dan
bury on Sunday, September 15, the
New York Giants, champions of the
National Football League, are
wasting no time. Coach Steve
Owen staged a long three hour
drill on the first day in camp de
spite a steady downpour. After the
workout he expressed himself as
well satisfied with the bunch of
college recruits the Giants hahve
gathered in the battle to retain
their world’s title.
With 32 players in camp and
several others who are expected to
report when their baseball season
ends this week, the Giants have
the largest squad in years. The
signing of Ed Danawskl and his
presence in camp also raised the
Giant hopes considerably for the
big Fordham luminary played a
great game last fall when he broke
into the pro-circuit.
Borden “In”
Coach Owen is spending a lot of
time looking over the recruits these
days. Among them are several
newcomers from Fordham, Les
Borden, end and captain, and Tony
Sarausky, hard running back. These
two appear capable of sticking as
do the Singer twins of Syracuse,
end and center respectively.
Stuart Clancy, the Branford,

Holy Cross, is making a determined
bid for a permanent backfield post.
Last year Clancy was sharing the
quarterback berth with Harry

Babe Pinelli is a big success In

To-day’s Sports Parade
By HENRY MeLEMORE
(United I'rcss Stuff Correspondent)
New York, Sept. 4—(UP)—Hail
to Haile Selassie!
Hats off, and a low, sweeping urt
sey-curtesy to the conquering lion
of Judah, the king of the kings—
and my pal!
Boys, that Ethiopian rascal has
fixed me up. When he announced
that he had deeded a share of
Ethiopia to Standard Oil, it gave
me the idea for which I’ve been
searching for years. Ever since I
started writing sports I’ve been get
ting in trouble. People are always
getting mad at me for all sorts of
reasons.
I’ll write that a baseball pitcher
didn’t have anything on the ball
and he wants to swing on me. The
same is true of football players,
tennis racquet swingers, poloists,
hockey players, and prize fighters.
And you, my gentle readers, some
times get awfully sore when you
back one of ray selections with
money and the selection runs for
Mrs. Sweeney.
This state of affairs has both
ered me for a long time. An ascetic
by nature, there have been times
I was afraid to walk out of my of
fice, lest some malcontent wham
me on the jaw. Often, after making
a particularly injudicious selection
in a fight, such as Baer over Brad
dock, I have resorted to disguises
to protect myself. Sometimes I’m a
middle-aged mattress renovator,
sometimes I’m a veterinarian spe
cializing in collie croup cases, and
sometimes I’m simply a ferryboat
captain with just a tang of the sea
about me.
But thanks to Haile Selassie, that
man of ideas, those unhappy days
are gone forever. Yesterday, unbe
knownest to anyone except me, I
deed my self to several powerful
corporations. For example I gave
my head and my neck, down to the
bottom of my Adam’s apple, to the
Gulf Refining company, so, any
body who wants to hit me in the
head has first got to beat up every
Gulf filling station attendant in
America.
My body I deede to the Truck
drivers Association of America.
Don’t hit me in the stomach un
less you W’.ant hundreds of raw
boned six-footers to jump from
behind their wheels and start treat
ing you as if you had blocked their
way in traffic. ,
My legs I gave to the marine
corps on a 10-year lease. Make a
pass at me and every leatherneck
this side of China is obligated to
accept the challenge. Say too much
and I wouldn’t bo surprised if you
didn’t have to pull General Smed
ley Butler off of your back.
P'rom now on out, with all this
protection, I’m likely to go so wild
in my predictions that I may even
pick a winner. If I see fit to pick
the St. Louis Browns to rise up and
win the American pennant in the
last two days of the season, I’ll do
it. If I happen to like Baer to win
by a knockout in 10 seconds of the
first round, I’ll say so.
As a matter of fact, I hope I’ll
happen on a sour prediction that’ll
cause certain of my readers to
threaten me with bodily harm. I’d
like nothing better than to see
some of you dear, sweet souls who
wrote me such lovely, comforting

Brooklyn and seven with Boston.
The Giants expect to play a lone
hand or. their last swing Of the
circuit. None of the eastern teams
—Brooklyn, Boston or Philadel
phia—is expected to aid the New
York cause, because thus far this
season those three teams have lost
141 and won only 71 against west
ern opponents. The Giants have
won 42 and lost 30 in competition
with the west.
The only eastern team the Giants
can expect to help are the Phila
delphia Phillies, opening today at
Chicago. The Phils have won four
of seven from the Cubs at Wrigley
field this season.
The Giants, to a man, agree that
the team to beat is St. Louis. They
figure the Cubs, who have played
ore games than the Giants and
Cards, are definitely handicapped
by the fact that they have lost six
more than New York and five more
than St. Louis.
Terry hopes the Giants can stick
ayound the top during the next
three weeks.
The Giants lost an opportunity
to gain on the Cardinals when their
double-header with Philadelphia,
the only National game scheduled,
was rained out yestetrday. Terry,
feeling that these two games may
be necessary to win a pennant, has
applied for rearrangement of the
schedule to permit their being
played late In September.
There were no games in the
American league yesterday. The
only scheduled contest, New York
and Philadelphia, was rained out.
