Southpaw Buga boo Again Trailing Griffs: Schmeling in Fine Trim and Confident
MIS MAY SHARE
I LEFT WITH MANUSH
Heinie’s Weakness Against
| Portsiders Costly in Twin
Defeat by Browns.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
ST. LOUIS, June 13—That
left-handed pitching buga
boo which harassed the
Nationals so much last year
has bobbed up again and its re
appearance may cause Manager
(Johnson to make an outfield
change when a southpaw toils
lor the opposition.
The portsidc-swinging Hcinie Ma
nush, hitting lightly as he is against
the left-handers, may give way to the
right-hand batting Dave Harris in left
field hereafter when a forkhander
flings for the other side.
With their batting order still top
heavy with left-handers, despite the
employment of Carl Reynolds in right,
the Nationals continue to be easy prey
as a rule for southpaws, and of the
four left-hand swingers in the line-up
-—Myer, Manush, West and Judge—
I.Ianush thus far has been the easiest
picking for th? left-hand pitchers.
Manager Johnson has not definitely
determined to alternate Manush with
•Harris in the line-up according to the
(kind of hurling the Nationals face, but
(he is giving the matter serious con
sideration after yesterday's double de
feat by southpaw slabmen.
In the two games Manush drove the
ball by the infield but once in eight
batting turns, and then it was an or
dinary loft to the outfield. Harris
*s a pinch-batter had two shots at the
left-handers—he fanned once, but he
also cracked a smart double.
Alternating Manush with Harris as
the pitching of the opposition goes
might bolster greatly an offense that
heeds bolstering aplenty.
MADE desperate by the situation
here, Johnson is to send his vet
eran ace of the mound, AI Crow
der, against the Browns in the final
game of the series tomorrow after
noon. The Washington pilot had in
tended to start his new slabman, Al
Thomas, purchased Saturday from the
White Sox, into action tomorrow.
fThomas, though, talking with Johnson
ever the phone from Chicago yester
day. said it would not be convenient
Sor him to report to his new club until
tomorrow morning. He had not been
notified of his transfer by the Chicago
authorities until Saturday afternoon,
and declared he was compelled to re
main in the Windy City through to
day to clear up some business affairs.
That put it up to Crowder or Monte
Weaver to take the hill tomorrow, and
Johnson decided he had better go after
an even break in the set of four tilts
with his veterans. Weaver, therefore,
will be saved for the start of the series
In Detroit on Wednesday.
! A FTER ending a string of losses to
the Browns this season that had
extended to four games with a vic
tory Saturday, the Nationals yesterday
resumed their evil habit of losing all
their power when facing a St. Louis
outfit and dropped a brace of tussles.
The scores were 6 to 3 and 4 to 0 and
the Johnson band was trimmed that
much, too.
Those recently exchanged pitchers,
Carl Fischer and Dick Coffman, hooked
up in the first encounter, With re
markable ease Fischer pinned back the
ears of his former teammates, while
Coffman was a mark for his old club
and took his licking in four innings.
That let Frank Ragland finish on the
hill for the Nationals.
In the second set-to left-handers
were mound rivals at the outset, Walter
Stewart, who seems bent upon making
the Nationals eat out of his hand as he
did back in 1930, breezed along smooth
ly. but Bobby Burke had his troubles
from the start and after seven rounds
called it a day. Fred Marberry finished.
FISCHER not only limited the Na
tionals to seven well-scattered hits,
but he also got two of the six safe
ties Coffman yielded, and the second of
Carl's wallops brought about Dick's un
doing.
It was a wild throw bv Johnny Kerr
that paved the way to the first-frame
run the Browns made without a hit, but
five good smacks figured in the scoring
of four St. Louis markers in the fourth
session.
Mellilo singled and took third when
Bengough hit for a base after Storti
fanned. A long fly by Levey got Mellilo
home. Then Fischer, who had singled
in the second round, instead of becom
ing the third out, as a pitcher generally
is supposed to do, rammed a double to
the right-field corner.
That started the Browns’ party.
Schulte tripled to drive over two tallies,
and Burns got an infield hit to send
over the fourth run of the inning.
So far as the Nationals were con
cerned the game was over then and
there, but the Browns picked up an
other run oil Ragland in the fifth. Then
Goslin lofted the ball to the roof of the
right-field pavilion for a homer.
Not until two were out in the sixth
did the Nationals find the plate. Then
they did so w ith Judge's single, Fischer's
balk and Kerr's two-bagger. In the
eighth West hit for a base and Reyn
olds followed with a homer socked into
the left-field bleachers for the last
tallying of the fray.
FISCHER had his fast ball working
as well as at any time this year.
He also displayed fine control. As
Fischer pitched, he certainly deserved
the victory. Coffman was somewhat off
In control. But had he been more
careful when hurling to his mound
rival he might have scored a win.
Dick’s failure to get away with his first
game for his new club did not lessen
Johnson’s confidence in the slabman.
He looks for Dick to ring up many vic
tories before the end of the campaign.
As well as Fischer did in the first
game, his work was not nearly so good
as that of Stewart in the second. Wal
ter allowed but three hits, all singles,
and pitched to just 30 batters. Not a
National passed first base.
Against such pitching, Burke in his
seven innings on the hill gave up 10
hits, seven of the extra base variety.
Burns' homer, hit over the right field
stand in the first frame, was one of the
long clouts. Levey’s double, a sacrifice
and a single were good for a tally in
the third. In the seventh. Stewart's
double, Schulte's single, a wild pitch
and a two-bagger by Bums meant two
markers for the Browns. In the eighth
the Browns got but one single and one
pass off Marberry.
NO game today and the Nationals
are glad of it...Warm here and
gptting warmer.. .Right after to
morrow's engagement the Johnson band
will hustle to a suburban siding to grab
a train for Detroit.. .Cronin's thumb
has about healed and the shortstop
may get into the final tussle here...
Kingdon crashed the line-up yesterday
In the first game.. .Batted for Maple in
the ninth inning and grounded to the
third baseman.. .Five and a half games
back of the Yanks, but still in second
place.

Babe Drives in Six Tallies
With Two Homers and a
Double—Tigers Nip A’s.
By the Associated Press.
George Herman ruth per
sonally conducted the New
York Yankees to a 13-5 victory’
over Cleveland yesterday, hit
ting his nineteenth and twentieth hom
ers and a double to drive in six runs.
The Detroit Tigers did some high
powered batting in the fifth and seventh
frames to tumble the Philadelphia Ath
letics, 8-6, despite Jimmie Foxx's twenty
second homer.
Pete Jablonowski, former Cleveland
hurler, made his first start for the Bos
ton Red Sox and was the victim of his
teammates' errors, bowing, 4-1, to the
Chicago White Sox.
In the National League the Chicago
Cubs stretched their lead to a game and
a half by winning a wild 13-inning bat
tle from the Boston Braves, 5-3. The
Cubs won out on doubles by Jurges and
Herman and a single by Moore. Guy
Bush went the route for the leaders
and allowed only 10 hits. Art Shires’ !
homer in the seventh sent the game
into extra innings.
One of a large group of St. Louis
Cardinal graduates, Flint Rhem, pitched
the Phillies to an easy 6-1 victory over
the Cincinnati Reds. Making his first
start in Philly regalia, Rhem allowed
only six hits, and never was in danger
after his teammates presented him
with a three-run lead in the fifth.
The other two National League games
were rained out.

ECONOMIC FAVORITE
IN AMERICAN DERBY
Withdrawal of Burgoo King
Makes Saturday’s Race
Wide Open Affair.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 13.—'The with
drawal of Burgoo King, leader
of the season’s 3-year-olds, has
made the $50,000 added Ameri
can Derby, Saturday’s climax of the
Washington Park Racing season, an
other of those wide open affairs.
The King, victorious in the Ken
tucky Derby and the Preakness, was
about to be shipped from New York
to make a try for the rich prize, but
bowed a tendon in training, and prob
ably will not race again this season.
With Burgoo King out, the field prob
ably will be larger and as many as 20
thoroughbreds may line up for the
mile and a quarter test for fame and
gold. Economic, from the J. H. Lou
cheim Stable, second to the King in
the Kentucky Derby and winner of the
Ohio Derby, already has been made the
choice, but the backing will be spread
around by Saturday.
The Prospective Field.
The prospective field, out of an orig
inal list of 125, today shaped "up as
; follows: W. R. Coe's Osculator, William
Woodward's Faireno, Mrs. J. H. Whit
■ ney’s Stepenfetchit, Mad Pursuit from
the stables of Walter J. Salmon, W. M.
Jeffords Boatswain, winner of the
Withers' Mile; C. V. Whitney's Top
Flight, Marmion, Adobe Post, Our
Fancy, Cathop, On Post, Gusto, Sun
] m"lus, George D. Widener’s Evening,
Big Beau, Minton, Prince Hot Spur, I
Siy and Springsteel.
All except Top Flight and Faireno
; were at Washington Park or on the
I way today, and only Top Flight was
: considered an extremely doubtful
I starter.
Six of the candidates were scheduled
to go today in the Niles Center Purse,
feature of the day's racing. Two East
erners, Mad Pursuit and Sunmclus, were
named overnight, with four Westerners,
Adobe Post, Our Fancy, Big Beau and
Prince Hot Spur, making up the rest
of the band.
With the aid of the Republican Na
tional Convention crowds, the attend
ance is expected to reach 50,000 or more.

DIXIE PIGS AIMING
TO CINCH PENNANT
Need Only Three More Wins
in Industrial Loop—Ram
Wrecks Heavy Card.
DIXIE PIGS, leading the Indus
trial League with seven vic
tories in nine games, today
will go after, weather permit
ting, the first of three victories which
will sew up the first series flag for
them.
With the regular schedule finished,
but with several postponed games fac
ing each of the five teams, the Dixies
need only three wins to put the first
series pennant out of reach of the sec
ond-place Washington Terminal team.
Today the leaders were to oppose Big
Print Shop at 5:15 o’clock on the
Ellipse. It is possible the Dixies will
clinch the title without playing all of
their postponed games, a s' tomorrow
Washington Terminal will tackle the
Construct ioneers and on Wednesday the
Gulf Refiners. Losses would dispel any
hopes held by the runners-up.
Rain yesterday washed out the entire
sancilot schedule, league and independ
ent. but the sandlotters aren't kicking.
The weather man has been good to the
boys on Sundays so far.
The same Capital City League sched
ule will be followed next Sunday.
Jim McNamara will reorganize the
Jewish Community Center nine again
and send it into action for the first time
next Sunday. He is seeking players and
games. Call Decatur 3030 in both
instances.
Congress Heights has scheduled the
Metropolitan Police nine for Wednesday
at 5 o'clock on the Congress Heights
diamond.

Ruth Is Clouting
At a Record Pace
NEW YORK, June 13—Babe
Ruth draws the crowds, socks
the apple, winks at Father
Time and drives steadily ahead to
ward his best home run year In the
major leagues.
Consult the figures. In the six
games the Yankees have played
since leaving New York he has hit
.360. Four of the nine drives he
has made in 25 times at bat have
been home runs, and of home runs
he now has 20 for the season.
Two of them were made in yes
terday’s game with the Indians.
By a curious coincidence he hit his
nineteenth and twentieth home
runs in the fifty-second game of the
season, just as he did five years ago,
when he was on his way to his rec
ord of 60 homers for a season.
Only in the matter of days is he
shy of that record, for it was on
June 11, 1927, that he hit a brace
of homers to boost his string to 20.

Shadows of the Past
BY I. C. BRENNER.
TOMMY RYAN.
IT has been said for Tommy Ryan
by men who should know that he
was the greatest fighter for his
weight boxing has known.
Certainly he was a wily scrapper
and a great hitter, and as welter
weight champion stood pre-eminent
in a day of great fighters.
Ryan still stands out. for in his
old age he is in clover. Tommy saved
his money when he had it, and he
made wise investments, so that to
day he lives out in Hollywood and
hasn’t a care in the world. Tommy
likes to talk about the old days and
the old fights, but he hates to talk
about himself.
It was on July 26. 1894, at Minne
apolis. that Ryan took the welter
championship by beating Billy Smith
in 20 rounds. Tommy and Smith
met again, at Coney Island. N. Y.. on
May 27. 1895, but the police inter- .
fered in the eighteenth round and it
was called a draw.
In 1896 Kid McCoy stopped Ryan
in 15 rounds and took the title. It is
one of the richest dramas of the
ring—that storv of the match—how
McCoy pretended to be down and
out in health and lured Ryan into
doing little training.
Tommy laughs at it himself as he
sits in California's sunshine.

Marty to Quit His Stalling
Gallagher Aims Hereafter to Prove Crowd Pleaser bv Reallv
Fighting in Ring.
BY TOM DOERER.
Martin william Galla
gher, Foggy Bottom's
skip-stop fighting man,
threatens to take his
back away from the wall.
That’s interesting—and encour
aging. Marty has been a defen
sive fighter so long the cash cus
tomers were beginning to feel the
big boy was part of the wall. For
nearly six years Gallagher has
been assuming a defensive role,
and many times against fighters
who were so inferior that the bat
tles actually appeared silly.
Now he's going to go on the offense,
going out there tinder the lights to
carry the message of maul to the other
young man. There is nothing much
left for Marty to do if he wants to
curry the appreciation of the paying
patrons, who. after all. decide who does
and who does not stay in the ring game.
Marty wants ring work — and
that's the incentive which may spur
him into changing his ring tech
nique. Heretofore, Marty seemed to
care but slightly whether he got a
task or did not. The ring game is
spotted with the names of young
men who would have been great
fighters had they had an incentive
to fight. But Marty’s roll, they say.
is down to the size of a Wall Street
broker's. So he must do something
about the anemic wad.
Jack Dempsey was a great fighter
when he was a hungry one. Jack Shar
key is not a great scrapper because he
does not need the coin. Schmeling,
Tunney, Willard. Johnson, all of the
heavies, were good only when their stom
achs were empty. A contented fighter
is a poor one, as a rule. He lacks in
centive.
Marty does not have a very clear
idea of why he chose a defensive at
titude in the game. He tells me he
is not punch shy, likes to fight and
wants to stay in the ring game to
make money. In the gym he is an
aggressive offensive fighter, surpris
ing those who, seeing him in the
practice stunts, go to watch him in
the ring.
"I don't know why I stick to the style
of ring work which they tell me is riot
popular with the fans,” said Marty. “It‘
is not because of fear or lack of inter
est in fighting. I suppose I picked that
technique up along the route and
thought it was the way to lick my op
ponents.”
Marty was told that the fans were
losing interest in his scraps because
he failed to take advantage of many
opportunities to whip rivals. It was
explained that the fans were for him.

Schmeling Says He Will Let
Sharkey Set the Early Pace
And Then Go on to Beat Him
BY MAX SCHMELING,
Heavyweight Champion of the World.
Kingston, n. y„ June 13.—This
Is the last week of training for
my fight with Jack Sharkey,
and I have been fortunate In
coming thrcugh the grind without the
slightest scratch. I'm knocking wood
as I write this, not because I’m super
stitious, but—you never can tell.
I have been boxing with some strong
men, all big fellows, and they have
brought me into the pink of fighting
condition. I have not even had a bloody
nose. That is amazing when you consider
that we have been throwing punches
for several weeks.
I wear a headgear when I’m sparring,
because Joe Jacobs, my manager, in
sists on it. There always is the risk of
getting a cut on the ear or a gash on
the head when we go Into close quar
ters. James J. Jeffries got a cauliflower
ear while training for a fight. The same
thing has happened to other fighters.
From now uptil I finish training, 1
want to get in as much glove-work as
possible. I expect a lofiger fight than
most of my friends a*e anticipating.
They tell me I will make Sharkey
"fold up” before the fight has gone very
far. That's just guesswork.
I never have been one to go in and
put all I have In the first few rounds—
the method and style that Jack Demp
sey made so popular. There's too much
risk in that. Either you get you man,
or you get yourself.
By that I mean if you don't bring
your opponent down, you burn up all
your energy, and then the other fellow
gets his innings. You have to be lucky
with your punches in order to win all
your fights that way.
My style is safer and surer. It proves
which is the master. There is not so
much left to chance.
That doesn’t mean I do not intend to
do my very best right from the start.
From what I know of Sharkey's style
and his temperament, he will start
with all he has and try to win with
every punch. That is all right for him.
I shall meet him in the manner which
suits the moment.
I have been asked to tell how I in
tend to fight Sharkey. The truth is, I
do not know. I don’t know how he will
fight me. If he chooses to make it a
slugging match, I will adapt myself. If
he chooses to box, then I’ll have to do
something different.
I expect a hard flight and a fast one.
I shall be prepared for that kind of a
fight and intend to make It that.

| fighter, but lacks interest in the
game.
“I’m interested in winning.” said
Marty, “but I guess I'm not fired up
enough when I get into the ring. I
know the customers want tearing-in
fighters. And I know that I'm not
Betting anywhere letting the other fel
low carry the scrap to me. I'm going
to start in with my next fight to let
the other fellow have it. I'm going
to bt an offensive fighter to please the
customers. I want more ring engage
ments.”
Just how aggressive Marty is go
ing to be in the future may be seen
in his next fight, Wednesday night.
If he has the inventive to win he
will carry the fight to Bob Tow.
But if Marty can’t shake off his old
attitude. Tow will crowd him around
the ring, and the big fellow from
Foggy Bottom will appear as slug
gish as ever.
Marty Gallagher, standing up there
under the lights on Wednesday night
fit Twin City, is going to be on trial.
Marty knows it. The promoters know
1 it. Unless he can show a will to win,
throw aside his monotonous cautious
ness. give and take at long range, his
chances of future ring work become
dimmer.
But if the boy from the Gas House
district opens up and stalks his rival,
chances are that both Marty and
the ring pastime in this section will
prosper.
Boxing in any locality is boomed by
the presence of a good local heavy.
And Marty can be a good one if he
will fight.

MAX IS RATED WAY
ABOVE 11 FORM
Writer Avers Sharkey Made
Big Error in Not Winning
Two Years Ago.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
Kingston, n. y„ June 13.—
The first thought on seeing
Max Schmeling in hLs
Kingston camp was this—
that Sharkey may have made a
big mistake in not winning two
years ago when he had the jump
of Max before the foul arrived in
the fourth round. The tanned,
black-haired German has come a
long way since Endicott and 1930.
He was not quite sure of himself
at Endicott. He was much slower.
He was much cruder.
The Schmeling that stepped out upon
the open porch at his Kingston cottage,
set upon a woodland upland, was some
thing entirely different. Both mental
ly and physically he has found an as
surance and an adjustment, which
seem to go with the title and the cham»
pionship when one Is 26.
Twenty-six is almost the perfect ag*
for competitive sport, since it combine*
youth, stamnia, development and ex
perience.
Schmeling Iras a quick, attractive
smile, which catches your attention im
mediately. It Is made more effective
by the contrast of a dark, tanned face
and white, even teeth—and there is
both sincerity and cordiality in this
quick smile.
“T don’t think I have seen any one
1 in better condition than you seem
to be," I said.
“Why not?" he answered. “There are
two reasons for this. One is that my
business is fighting. That is my profes
sion and my living. I have sense enough
to know that I can't practice my pro
fession in poor condition. The other
reason is that I happen to like the sim
ple sort of life that makes condition.
I like to be outdoors. I like to hunt,
play golf and other games. I’ve never
cared to smoke or drink. I don't like
big parties or crowds. I happen to like
the sort of life that keeps one physi
cally and mentally in shape. I can't
understand any athlete not keeping
physically fit. it is the big part of his
game. If he isn't willing to keep in
shape, why bother about playing in the
upper flights?"
"Gene Sarazen proved what condition
means," I suggested. "He went into
hard, keen training for the British open
six w eeks ago. He put himself in shape
to get away to a flying start, with
enough left to stand up under the pres
sure of the last charge where so many
break. In only fair condition, he would
never have held up so well that last
day."
"I read about his training for this
championship." Schmeling said, and I
was very much interested to see how it
would work Out in golf. It certainly
worked. It nearly always does."
"Hew is your golf game now?” I
asked.
"When you saw me at Endicott two
years ago." Schmeling answered. "I was
shooting from 101 to 105 or a 106. Now
I am in between 85 and 90—say
around 88."
THE defending heavyweight cham
pion has a natural aptitude for
sport. He picks up almost any new
game quickly. He is lean and lithe,
with an extremely supple body. In
fact he has the body suppleness of
an acrobat.
He has the natural knack or instinct
needed to reach the main funda
mentals. hooked to a somewhat serious
and a studious type of mind.
Schmeling has an unusually keen
mind. He js a close observer of details,
and once he gets the correct mental
picture he has the Teutonic thorough
ness required to develop the working
plan. It was this combination which
brought him so much improvement for
the Stribling fight a year ago. Work
and study—in training and on exhibi
tion tours. He has moved forward in
his development through the last year.
"Why shouldn't I improve from "year
to year?” he asked. “I am only 26
now. I had a lot to learn when I
first came over. I had a lot to learn
when I met Sharkey. I have had two
years of schooling and work since we
met before, and I know I will be far
better next week than I was in our
first meeting."
SOME one remarked that Sharkey's
hands had taken quite a beating in
the sailor's nine-year career.
Schmeling immediately thrust out two
big. brown hands, with fingers extended
in a straight line. They were both in
perfect shape, with only one slight
thumb scar. He showed how he had
saved his hands by punching on a
straight line, as far as the hand was
concerned, without any bend or bow In
the wrist.
“Why have you never tried any road
work?” I asked. "Sharkey runs 6 or 7
miles a day.”
“I don’t need it,” he said, "and I've
never liked it. I walk a lot, play golf,
shadow’ box, and get all the leg exer
cise I need with my sparring partners.
I wasn't tired in the slightest after 15
rounds against Stribling on a hot night
I felt just about as fresh at the finish
as I did at the start.”
"He beat me to the dressing room
after the fight.” a camp aide remarked,
“and T ran all the way. He wasn’t
even breathing hard after that run.”
It. might be noted here that Schmel
ing’s hands are big and strong, thick
and durable looking.
T ASKED about his diet.
1 "I don't diet at all,” he said. "I
just eat plain, simple foods—meats
and vegetables. I eat three times a
dav and I eat all I want. I work
this off in my training and then put
it on again. I'm arcund 191 Dounds
now and I'll fight at 189 or 190. My
weight changes very little at any time
It hasn’t changed over a pound or two
in the last three years. I don't sit
around much. I like to keep moving ”
