Harris May Rebuild Gri ff Machine: Louis-Camera Gate to Set Season Mark
DISGUSTED PILOT'
LOOKING T019$
Second Request for Miles
of Lookouts Expected
to Be Granted.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
ETROIT, Mich., June 22.—
This is far from an official
announcement or even an
authoritative hint, but if the
Washington ball club does not dis
play a startling reversal of form here
is one prediction you can put down
' today for future reference:
That the 1936 Nationals will bear
no more resemblance to the current
Griffmen than did Bucky Harris’ first
pennant winner in 1924.
Anything official to this effect at
this early stage of the pennant race
obviously would not prove helpful to
the Nationals. This prediction repre
sents only an attempt to translate
what appears to be an unmistakable
undercurrent of feeling on the part
of a very disillusioned Stanley Harris.
The Nationals’ boss, who today finds
his club floundering in the second
division and with no immediate pros
pects for a sizable jump, Is known
to be thoroughly disgusted with the
pitching Washington has been getting
this season, especially on this Western
tour, which terminates with a five
game series against the Tigers.
Last Winter Harris climbed up on
the limb, concluding a business club
luncheon thusly.
“Nothing less than the pennant will
satisfy me in 1935.”
Bucky meant it and still does. De
spite the lowly status of the Nationals
at present, he refuses to give up all
hope, but much of it, he admits, has
been’snatched away by his pitching
staff.
Satisfied With Attack.
Vt/TTH the rest of the team the Na
tionals’ boss is quite satisfied,
especially with its hitting ability. But
to get good pitchers a team must part
with good players and, if this sweep
ing change goes through, it is com
paratively safe to say few Washing
ton players will be sure of their jobs
next Fall and Winter.
Alvin Powell’s injury during the
Cleveland series may mark a prema
ture step in this possible tearing
down, building up campaign, Powell
was sent back to Washington last
night to rest his leg which laid him
up with a strangulation of the sciatic
nerve. His departure leaves the club
with four outfielders, Heinie Manush,
Johnny Stone, Fred Schulte and Fred
Sington. The latter pair, on their
performances so far, are something of
unknown quantities and Harris is sus
pected of having little hope that
either will fill the bill.
Bucky has sent a second request to
President Clark Griffith for Outfielder
Dee Miles of Chattanooga, a 22-year
old slugger who is batting .356 in the
Southern Association. This time, it is
expected, his request will be heeded
and that Miles will be wearing a
Washington uniform in the near
future. If so then Sington, who has
not impressed Harris, will be shipped
to Chattanooga, in all probability.
Waivers have been asked on Fred and
not a major league club has put in
a bid for his services.
Newsom’s Job Safe.
TVTO HOPE is held for added pitching
strength, with the exception of
Buck Newsom’s return when his frac
tured kneecap is healed. But next
Winter you can expect a wholesole
shift in the Griff roster unless the
hurlers suddenly stop dishing out base
hits by the carload.
Newsom, incidentally, is believed to
be one of the very few Washington
sl&bmen who will hold their job6.
Harris likes the talkative right-hander
and also is convinced that Earl White
hill, the terrible-tempered portsider,
has two more good years of flinging
in him if he gets the proper support.
The rest Bucky probably would swap
for a cracked bat and a tar-taped
ball.
Powell is one of the regulars certain
to stick with the Nationals. Harris
regards the ex-Takoma Tiger as his
best outfielder right now and predicts
•'eight years of great base ball” for
the speedy youngster. As for Heinie
Manush and Jack Stone, it Is not be
yond the realm of possibility that one
or both will be used to bring Harris
a desired pitcher. If so, then the
1936 outfield probably will be com
posed of Miles, Powell and Clyde
Marion, a 20-year-old fielding wizard
also with Chattanooga.
Infield I« Satisfactory,
rip HE infield has not displeased Boss
Bucky this season, especially
Buddy Myer and Ossie Bluege, but
there is little doubt In the mind of at
least your correspondent that Harris
would be tempted to give you a part
of It to get what he wants for next
season. Here again he can look to
Chattanooga for replacements. The
lookout “farm” has a great third base
prospect In Buddy Lewis, a 19-year
old, and a promising shortstop in
Maxie.
The present catching staff receives
only praise from Bucky, who holds
Clif Bolton’s prowess and promise In
high esteem and regards both Jack
Redmond and Sam Holbrook as good
prospects.
Powell, as a result of the decision
yesterday to send him home, will not
be available for the rest of this Inland
tour, of course, but hope is held for
his return in time to oppose the
Yankees in a series to follow the set
With Detroit.
A steady downpour of rain yester
day in Cleveland assured the Na
tionals of a day of Idleness, and it was
a welcome respite to the pitchers.
Races, movies and Just plain lobby
alttlng helped to pass the time away
until they caught a train for Detroit
last night.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 22.—Bob
Johnson was left as the lone
upholder of the Athletics'
batting supremacy in the
American League today after the rise
of Washington and Cleveland clouters
during the past week had shoved his
teammates out of the picture. His own
batting average wasn't anything like
It was a couple of weeks ago.
During the week which ended with
yesterday’s games he hit safely only
seven times in 25 tripe to the plate,
dropping from .382 to .370. That
made his total lc»s for the past two
weeks 36 points.
Meanwhile George (Mule) Haas, a
former Philadelphian now wearing
Chicago livery, regained his rating as
a 'Tegular” by passing this week’s
minimum of 125 times at bat and
slipped into second place, vacated by
Wally Moses of the A’s.
Myer, Stone High Up.
TJTAAS’ average went to .348, which
1 left him only a point ahead of
Buddy Myer of the Nationals, who
got 15 hits in 28 times up during the
week.
Jack Stone, another National, got
17 hits In 30 times up to make fifth
place in his league just two points
back of Charley Gehringer of the
Tigers.
Arky Vaughan, National League
leader, was kept idle all week by a
Charley horse, but none of his rivals
approached his .400 average. Joe
Med wick just maintained his .356
mark with eight hits in 22 times up
while Pepper Martin dropped one
point to .336.

BT HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR,
Associated Press 8ports Writer.
IF THE Detroit Tigers recapture
the American League pennant
this season it apparently wouldn’t
be amiss for them to vote a share
of the world series proceeds to Lyn
wood Rowe, Jr.
One of the difficulties that beset
Manager Mickey Cochrane this Spring
was that Lynwood Rowe, sr.—the
famous "schoolboy*’—wasn’t pitching
according to last year’s form and
couldn’t be persuaded to take the
business of throwing the ball over
the plate seriously.
But since a son and heir appeared
some 10 days ago it seems to be a
different Rowe out there on the hill,
bearing down all the time and that
has made a world of difference to the
Tigers. He followed up a three-hit
flinging performance against the Red
Sox, which might have been dismissed
as natural Jubilance, by limiting the
Athletics to six blows and yester
day by shutting out the league-leading
Yankees with four puny singles to
gain a 7-to-0 triumph.
Game* Keeps Tigers Up.
'T'HAT victory, despite three straight
A losses to the Yanks, put Detroit
only a game and a half behind the
White Sox and Indians, who wound
up In a virtual tie for second place.
Chicago moved back Into second
place with a 5-to-3 victory over the
Athletics behind young Vernon Ken
nedy’s seven-hit pitching, even though
Jimmie Foxx belted his thirteenth
homer for the A’s.
Cleveland’s game with Washington
was rained out, as was the greater
part of the Boston-St. Louis twin bill.
With Lefty Grove in form and Carl
Reynolds and Mel Almada hitting
homers, the Red Sox pulled out a 3-0
decision In six innings that were
played before the storm struck.
Giants Early Winners.
rPHE Giants, having disposed of the
A st. Louis threat, continued to
make hash of their rivals for the Na
tional League lead by thumping the
Pirates for the second time, 11 to 4,
They settled the game as early as the
second Inning when Mel Ott’s thir
teenth homer, made with two aboard,
climaxed a seven-run rally off Red
Lucas. .»
The Cards took an 8-to-3 beating
from the Phillies on the strength of
Syl Johnson’s slx-hlt elbowing and a
homer by Johnny Verges with the
bases full. As a result, New York’s
lead was stretched seven and one-half
games over the Bucs.
The Cubs continued to Improve their
fourth position by bowling over the
Braves, 11 to 3, with an 18-hit attack
that more than offset homers by Wally
Berger and Prank Hogan off Tex
Carleton’s delivery. Don Brennan of
the Reds, winning his first game of
the season, made the Dodgers look
more than ever like '‘hitless wonders"
when he shut them out with seven hits
to win, 5 to 0, with the aid of Ernie
Lombardi’s circuit swat with two
aboard.

Although Sharkey did not admit

Sharkey, whc won the heavy title

He said he was In the best mental

“Forgotten Men” Surge
in Sports as Best
. Bets Bog Down.
I_BY FKANCIS E. STAN_
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ETROrr, June 32.—Do you
think that young Joe Louis
will grind up poor, big Primo
Camera into fine hamburger
next Tuesday night? So do I.
I think that Louis, notwithstanding
the fact that this will be his first
major fight, will batter and belt the
satchel-footed Primo as mercilessly as
Max Baer did. I think Da Preem will
walk—or be carried—out of the ring
about the size of Midget Wolgast.
But, If you ever have bet on a race
horse because he wore your lucky
number, or risen from a poker game
and circled your chair to change your
luck, or crossed the street to dodge a
black cat—well, don't bet on the fight.
r\ONT bet on it because this is the
year of “forgotten men.” This
is the year when sports ghosts walk
and talk and win.
Silly, you cay? Well, maybe. But
listen.
What was Jimmy Brsddock
bat a fistic ghost a few days
ago? What was he bat a hob
goblin from oat of the past,
about to be slaughtered once
and for all by Max Baer. Today
Jimmy is the heavyweight
champion of the world.
What was Mark Koenig until last
Spring but a diamond memory, a for
gotten cog in a great Yankee ma
chine? A has-been who once tried
pitching for Detroit in a desperate ef
fort to stick in the big leagues?
Today Bill Terry says Mark is the
most valuable player in the National
League. He Is so good that he plays
second base for the Giants and Hughie
Crltz sits on the bench.
TO^HAT was Grove but a name syn
'' onomous with pitching deeds of
days gone by? Today he has that
fast ball back and surely must be
classed with the slab leaders of the
American League.
There Is Helen Wills Moody, well
under way in a comeback campaign
on the courts. There Is Jack Love
lock, a forgotten man since 1933. He
trimmed America’s greatest milers last
week, Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bon
thron and Gene Venzke.
There is Head Play, runner
up in the 1933 Kentucky Derby
and winner of the Preakpess.
From oat of oblivion Head Play
has become a money making
5-year-old.
There is Charley Gelbert, who acci
dentally shot himself out of base ball
in 1935—for keeps, it was said. Leo
Durocher sits on the Cardinal bench
these days as Gelbert cavorts at short
stop for the world champions.
AND there is Walter Hagen, a name
cm a golf stick until a few weeks
ago. He had a chance to win the open
going into the last three holes at Oak
moat. He didn’t win, but he was a
good third.
Up from nowhere these forgotten
men are swarming, climbing to new
heights and fortunes. Whatever you
think of Camera and his fistic prow
ess, don’t sell short this year of forgot
ten men. I know I’m not.
TT is strange, feeling sorry for a
1 guy who earns $10,000 a year as
easily as does Buddy Myer, but one

representatives. So did Jimmy
Dykes. They pick Charley
Gehrlnger of Detroit.
They pick Gehrlnger on his reputa

Myer is the crown prince. Figures, not
opinion, bear this out. These, includ

Cut Over Eye, Lasky Loses
to Smith, Little-Known
Montana Heavy.
By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22—Al
though suffering from a bad cut
over his left eye, Art Lasky,
lanky Jewish heavyweight, to
day had enough eyesight left to watch
his chances of fighting Jim Braddock
for the championship of the world go
glimmering away.
Ford Smith, a comparative un
known from Kalis pell, Mont., was
the villain who
gave Lasky the
cut and knocked
his hopes of meet
ing Braddock in
the new champ’s
first title defense
into the discard.
Smith scored a
technical knock
out in the sixth
round of a 10
round match here
last night.
Lasky was in
the lead when
Referee Toby
Art Lasky.
Irwin (topped the fight because nis
eye was bleeding so badly, but Smith
had surprised the fans by taking the
Jewish battler's heaviest blows and
at times even outboxlng his more
widely known opponent.
The big Montanan, who weighed
207 as compared with Lasky's 197, had
an edge in the first round. Lasky,
finding the range, garnered the sec
ond and third. The fourth was fairly
even, but it was during this round that
the cut over Lasky’s eye was opened.
Smith reopened the cut in the fifth
and had little trouble in outboxlng
Lasky, whose vision was blurred by
the flow of blood.

BOUT WILL DRAW
AROUND WO
Victory for Colored Boy
Over Italian Giant Is
Predicted Generally.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, June 22.—The
famous crack of Bob Fitz
simmons might be para
phrased nowadays to read
“the bigger they are, the harder the
cash customers fall."
Primo Camera, biggest pugilist ever
to wear the heavyweight crown, helped
draw the largest “gate
(428,000, when he lost the title to Max
Baer. The huge Italian will figure in
the biggest money match of the cur
rent fistic season when he squares off
against 21-year-old Joe Louis, sensa
tional Detroit Negro, next Tuesday
night at the Yankee Stadium.
Promoter Mike Jacobs today pre
dicted the bout would draw close to
(400,000 or just about double the size
of the “gate” for the Braddock-Baer
championship match last week.
Louis Seen Ring Marvel.
rjETROIT and other Middle Western
^ light centers which have watched
the remarkably rapid and spectacular
development of Louis as a knocker-out
will be well represented at the ring
side. Special trains will be run from
the bigger Eastern cities, Including
Philadelphia and Boston.
They have been guessing wrong
lately, but veteran fistic experts rarely
have registered so emphatic a vote of
approval as they have for Louis. The
stories from the Negro's training camp
have been mild compared to what ob
servers are saying privately. They
declare he combines the punching
power of Dempsey with the coolness of
Tunney and the sagacity of that
famous old black warrior, Jack John
son.
“It may sound foolish,” said a
writer who has been watching from
a ringside seat for upwards off 30
years, “but this youngster looks to
me to be the fighter of a generation.
He has everything, Including confi
dence, speed and terrific hitting
power. He acts like a man who
knows all the answers and all the
angles of the trade instead of a 21
year-old kid barely a year out of the
amateur ranks.”
Shot at Title Uncertain.
IT HAS been a long time since heavy
A weight pugilism had a so-called
“black menace.” The last was Harry
Wills, the "Brown Panther” of New
Orleans. Harry was well along In
yean before his title claims got much
recognition, and he was finally ex
hibited as not much of a menace at
all by being decisively beaten In f928
by Jack Sharkey.
If Louis justifies his rare promise
It will be Interesting to see how his
championship chances develop, par
ticularly as Madison Square Garden
is on record as opposed to giving him
a shot at the title now held by James
J. Braddock. This is not particularly
because of racial reasons, but because
the Negro now Is fighting for a rival
firm of promoters. Louis, according
to the Garden, refused an offer to
meet Braddock In an elimination
match last Winter.
