Knowledge of Rivals9 Styles Makes Hennessey Likely Louis-Pastor Referee

The
Sportlight
Pastor Figured Tough
Opponent for Louis
By GRANTLAND RICE,
Bpeclal Correspondent ot The Star.
DETROIT, Sept. 18 (N.A.N.A.).—
If Bob Pastor runs from Joe Louis
again on Wednesday night, Joe
can't say he wasn't warned, because
that's what everybody expects Pastor
to do. As a matter of fact, Joe
couldn’t say he wasn't warned the
first time, although. Judging by the
manner in which he reacted to
Bob s flitting and dodgings, he was
amazed completely—taken sorely by
surprise. Yet, if Joe didn't know
what Bob was going to do, he was
almost alone in his ignorance.
Louis and Pastor were pawns in
s. bigger fight that night—a fight
for prestige in New York between
Mike Jacobs and Jimmv Johnston,
with Jacobs back of Louis and. of
course. Johnston manipulating Pas
tor. Johnston's idea was not only
to beat Jacobs—through Louis—but
to anger and humiliate him. and he
succeeded to some extent. The boo
ing crowd in the Garden made fun
of Louis and scoffed at Jacobs, and
the fact that Louis got the decision
was a source of small satisfaction
to Jacobs. After the fight, he vowed
that Johnston never again would
profit by a match of his making—
that Jimmy and Pastor were out
forever, so far as he was concerned.
Bob Fights Woy Into Spot
That Forces Recognition
However, the scenes and the cir
cumstances change swiftly in box
ing. Friends part, enemies make up
their quarrels, and sometimes it
is difficult to tell who are friends
and who are enemies—especially
when there is a lot of money in
volved.
Louis went on, after that first
Pastor fight, to win the heavyweight
championship and then went swing
ing down the line of his challengers,
knocking them off. Pastor, cam
paigning around the country, fought
himself into a spot where Louis had
to listen to his demands for a match.
This time Pastor can run again
—but only for so long. In their first
fight he gained his objective by
bobbing and scooting through 10
rounds—he lasted the limit and
made Louis appear very futile. But
this time the title is on the line
and Bob can t win it by conducting
a strictly defensive fight. He prob
ably plans to make Louis chase him
for a while and then, when Joe
begins to tire, to stop feeling and
dart in on him, swinging for the
chin.
This should be a better fight than
the first one. It poses two ques
tions as the men come to the end
of their training and look to the
ring: How long can Pastor elude the
champion—and what chance will he
have with him when the skirmish
ing is over and they finally start
swapping blows at close range?
20-Round Route Too Long
For Joe, Say Tacticians
Ring tacticians agree that Louis'
managers maae a misiase m tun
senting to a 20-round fight, because
Joe isn't gaited for the route, they
say, and Pastor is. That may be
true. Joes underpinning is the
weakest part of his fighting equip
ment. He isn't fast on his feet,
sometimes gets them crossed and
has been knocked down a couple of
times in major engagements—once
by Braddock and again by Galento—
because he was off balance. Nobody
knows yet whether, if necessary, he
can go 20 rounds and finish strong.
The only time has has gone as many
as 15 rounds was against Tommy
Farr and he was a tired young man
that night.
Moreover, the Farr fight was eas
ier bn his legs than this fight with
Pastor is likely to be. He didn't
have to chase Tommy. Tommy
moved right into him at the first
bell and kept moving in that direc
tion all through the fight, and all
Joe had to do was to shuffle around
while he belted Tommy with both
hands.
The few who are picking Pastor
to win base their predictions on the
chance that Louis cannot maintain
a pursuit for 15 rounds or so with
out tiring badly, thus laying him
self wide open to grave damage in
five rounds of concentrated punch
ing by Pastor.
Throws Out Postor's Bad
Fights Doping This One
Those who do not like Pastor's
chance at all point to many fights
Bob has made with second and third
rate opponents. They point out that
he barely scraped through to beat
the ring-torn Freddy Fiducia, had
to get up from five knockdowns to
get a draw with Eddie Simms—who
was a one-round knockout victim of
Louis—and actually was beaten by
Gus Dorazio. who scarcely has
beaten anybody since and has been
beaten by preliminary fighters in
New York.
This is all true and yet—although
I'm still stringing with Louis—I do
not rate Pastor off these fights. I
know he can fight better than he did
on those occasions, when there was
nothing at stake and he had no in
centive to fight. I believe he is fast,
game, strong and a pretty good
puncher and that he honestly be
lieves he can beat Louis.
This is a do-or-die shot for him
ana ne Miuwa it—miuwo mat, u uc
blows this chance against Louis, he
never will get another one. His
other qualities, plus an eagerness to
win amounting almost to despera
tion. make him a worthy opponent
for Louis.
As I say, I expect Louis to win,
but. on style and past performances,
I do not look for an easy victory for
the champion.

Interest in Detroit
Keener in Arbiter
Than in Odds
Champ Expected to Be
1-6 Choice Over Man
He Outpointed in '37
By SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
DETROIT, Sept. 18 —For one rea
son or another—either that Joe
Louis is too top-heavy a favorite
or Bob Pastor is too dangerous a
question mark to fool around with—
there wasn't enough betting today
on Wednesday's heavyweight cham
pionpionship bout to cover a thin
dime.
Whether this timidity was the
fault of the odds-layer or the bettor,
the “price'' for the tussle was largely
“rumor.-’ It ranged, on the one
hand, from the possibility that the
former New York University foot
baller would be either one of the
shortest-priced punchers ever to
I tangle with the Brown Bomber, to
I the other extreme which made
riOQrlnan .Tnp a 1-tO-R shot tO knock
Bom's ears down sometime along
the scheduled 20-round route.
No Rush to Back Opinions.
In either case, the betting was
about as active as a dish of cold
tripe. The boys and girls were
falling all over themselves keeping
their "mad money’’ in their pocket
books.
The chances were that the cham
pion, rated off his comparatively
recent short and sweet sleep-produc
.ing victories over Max Schmeling,
John Henry Lewis. Jack Roper and
Tony Galento. would enter the ring
at something better than l-to-6 fav
orite over the one-time collegian
who went 10 rounds with him back
in 1937.
Of more interest at the moment
was the discussion over which of
three refereeing possibilities would
be the third man in the ring when
the gong goes off at 10 p.m. Wednes
day in Briggs Stadium, with a crowd
of some 50,000 sitting in on the
party.
Those mentioned most promi
nently are Slim McClelland, veteran
of 32 years of ring "arbitrating";
Sam Hennessey, who has been do
ing the job for two decades, and
Clarence Rosen, well-known here
as a boxer and referee.
Hennessey Likely Referee.
McClelland was the third man in
Louis' victories over Natie Brown and
Patsy Perroni, and, oddly enough,
both of these bouts went the route.
Hennessey knows the ring manner
isms of both fighters well. He worked
most of Louis' amateur fights here
abouts and also took care of the more
recent bout in which Bob Pastor
soundly whipped Roscoe Toles to
become an A-No. 1 drawing card in
this city.
Usually informed fellows felt Hen
nessey, acquainted with both prin
cipals, would be more likely to get
the call.
This motor city, incidentally, has
gone for the fight whole hog. Even
Promoter Mike Jacobs was all
around town distributing the “glee
fulest" smiles about the parade to
the box office.
He said today his most conserva
tive estimates put the probable gate
at the $500,000 mark, with a crowd
of 50.000 or more on hand for the
festivities.
Fighters in Fine Fettle.
Pastor again took it easy today,
while Louis got in his last training
: ucks. ruuy recovered irom me
cold which put him to bed with a
; temperature last Thursday and Fri
day, the champion boxed four rounds
1 then put his training togs back in
the mothballs.
State Athletic Commission physi
: cians examined both boxers and
| couldn't find anything wrong that
: a big steak dinner wouldn't cure.
| Louis expected to go into the ring
at 200 or 201 pounds. Pastor, heavier
than for his famous "battle of the
bicycle" with Louis in Madison
Square Garden, will weigh about 187.
Failure in Links Final
Hits Billows' Faith
In Luck Charms
Linen Cap He Borrowed
From Yates Also Let
Down Its Owner
;
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Sept. 18—The na
j tional amateur golf title match
; all but shattered the faith of Ray
Billows, 25-year-old Poughkeepsie,
N. Y„ golfer, in good luck charms.
Billows had what he thought was
a good luck charm when he met
Marvin (Bud) Ward, 26, of Spo
kane, Wash., in Saturday's cham
pionship battle, but it didn't help
him much.
Ward won the match and the title,
7 and 5, climaxing a week of bril
liant play over the 7,022-yara Nortn
Shore Country Club course.
Returns Charm to Yates.
So after the match Billows re
turned to Charley Yates of Atlanta,
Ga„ the white linen cap he had
worn as a charm. It was the same
cap that Yates wore when he won
the British amateur title in 1938.
But it didn't seem to work for either
of them here at North Shore.
Yates lost to Edwin Kingsley of
Salt Lake City in the second round.
Kingsley later fell before Ward, one
of six Victims of the long-knocking
■Westerner, who seemed to play best
when the going was tough.
Back to the Millstone.
It was Billows’ second trip
through the tournament to the title
round. Two years ago the young
printing and lithographing sales
man fell in the finals before Johnny
Goodman of Omaha, who also elimi
nated Ward in that tournament.
Both of these young fellows, who
play golf for fun, planned to get
back to work right away. Ward
flew back to the Pacific'Coast and
Billows went to Racine, Wis„ his
former home, to visit relatives until
Wednesday when he will return to
Poughkeepsie.

SANDLOT CHAMPS REPEAT—Winning the National Amateur Baseba'll Federation title for the
second year in a row was the feat achieved by the Detroit team with a 14-12 victory over Bir
mingham in the deciding game yesterday. Here Manager Tony Dugray of the victors is
receiving the trophy from Clark Griffith as his teammates look on. —A. P. Photo.

Detroit Wins Sandlot
Title, Federation in
Financial Soup
Attendance Not Enough
To Pay Expenses of
National Tourney
The party over, officials of the
National Amateur Baseball Federa
tion tourney today faced the un
pleasant prospect of paying the bill
and that, it appears, may be no easy
task.
Officials had hoped expenses would
be met by a eratifving turnout of
customers at Griffith Stadium, the
only place where admission was
charged. Hardly enough fans turned
out. however, to pay for the umpires
and balls.
Teams traveled here and returned
at their own expense, but while ihey
were here the federation was liable
for their expenses. This included
cabs to and from playing fields, food
and hotel bills, and it seems that
'much money wasn't taken in at the
gate.
Anyway. Detroit successfully de
defended its crown, remaining unde
feated as it squashed Jordon Park
of Birmingham. 14-12. in a hectic
game yesterday at Griffith Stadium.
The game was played as a prelimi
nary to the Washington-Detroit
Johnny Stone day program.
Detroit was forced to employ six
pitchers to squelch Birmingham,
which blew leads of four and five
1 runs.

Boxing Skill Makes
La Salle Favorite
Over Mamakos
Plugging Capital Greek
Outrated by Tonight's
Foe on Records
Steve Mamakos’ bid for a higher
rating in the welterweight division
is expected to fall a trifle short
of the mark tonight when the ath
letic Athenian shuffles out to meet
Kenny La Salle in a 10-round bout
at Griffith Stadium. The match
features a well-balanced program
that will introduce a few new faces
to District ring fans.
On the same card is Mamakos’
! stablemate and a newcomer to the
147-pound class, Lou Gevinson, a
southpaw, who is stepping up into
the heavier class after a disastrous
, fling in the lightweight division.
Gevinson tackles Nat Kadin, a
Canadian of mediocre ability, in a
10-round semifinal, and is expected
i to dust off the visitor without too
1 much difficulty.
Fine Rerord Backs La Salle.
Boasting an impressive record of
i 13B victories in 148 fights, studded
with some 80-odd knockouts. La
Salle is regarded along Rue de la
Cauliflower as just a little too much
for Mamakos, who is a trifle short
on boxing skill. For sheer durabil
ity, the Greek boy can go with
the best of them, but La Salle also
boasts a sizeable reputation as a
skilled ring general, and this is ex
pected to be Steve's downfall.
La Salle's record shows victories
over Glen Lee—when that worthy
was a welter; Steve Haliko, Fritzie
Zivic and a few other top-notchers,
which is evidence of his ability. He
wrapped mem wnen iney naa some
thing on the ball, not after they
were washed up and getting by on
their reputation. Kenny, as you may
gather, is no youngster himself, but
has enough left on the old frame
to earn recognition as the fifth best
man in his division today.
Odds Against Mamakos.
It is this No. 5 berth that Mama
kos is gunning for. Rated ninth—
a loss of several notches, Steve can
replace La Salle if he gets over the
Houston hustler tonight. He is. as
usual, in A-l condition for the test,
and anxious to improve his fistic
fortunes with a decisive victory, but
the odds are 6-5 against him.
Other bouts include a six-rounder
between A1 Gilbert and Danny Mur
phy. and four-rounders involving
Bobby Seigel and Lou Silverberg and
Joe Lipps and Wild Man Marino.
The first bout is scheduled for 8:30
o'clock.
printing champion Joe Balestri the
top man, has 4012 points, and has
one match to play. Accounts and
1 Deposits of Treasury, which won the
! title last year,( has wound up its
; | schedule with 41 points won. So
1 G. P. O. needs only to win a single
■ point against W. P. A. tomorrow to
■ clinch the title in Section 2. The
Accounts and Deposits boys were not
1 able through part of the season to
1 muster their strongest team, but G.
P. O. ploughed steadily along, win
ning almost as they pleased.
Already the Government golfers
i are talking about a shorter season,
i with fewer teams in the list. Some
favor a 3-section league, with six

1 be completed in two months instead
of five The details will be worked

Straight Off the Tee
By WALTER McCALLUM.
With more than half a dozen
women’s club championships to be
decided this week the men are busy
on the golf courses around the Capi
tal settling their club titles. Within
a month nearly a dozen club cham
pionships will be decided by the male
golfers. And the scrap is tough. A
club champ rates pretty high among
his fellow golfers. He’s a marked
man every time he starts.
So far only two club titles have
been decided this year. Chevy
Chase and Washington played their
club tourneys in the spring, with
Page Hufty and Ralph S. Fowler
the winners. But at all the other
clubs the top golfers either are in
the thick of the fight or are getting
ready for the title tournaments.
Here are the 1938 champions of
clubs whose titles have not yet
been decided this year: Woodmont,
Dr. Milton Harris: Columbia, Tommy
Webb, jr.; Manor, Harry G. Pitt;
Beaver Dam, Martin F. McCarthy;
Indian Spring, Buddy Sharkey
(beaten this year); Congressional,
Claude Rippy (will not defend);
Argyle, Orval Kaul (out of the
city); Army Navy. Ralph Bogart;
Capital, Billy Houghton; Kenwood,
John O. Bergelin.
Nineteen-year-old Ralph Bogart,
who has been the hot number in the
Indian Spring club championship,
draws a rugged customer in the
opening round of the Army Navy
Club title tourney, which he wull de
fend. Ralph belongs to both clubs,
was medalist in the Indian Spring
championship with a 68. and shot
a 67 Saturday to win his first match
Ralph runs smack into Comdr. Wil
liam S. Popham in the first round
of the service club championship.
Parks Wins Medal.

Collier played with Webb and got ar
earful of the football game.
"Did it bother your golf?” I askec
Webb. "Not a bit.” he said. “W<

Another Pass Due Baugh
On Book, Espey Holds
A stickler for details. General
l Manager Espey of the Redskins to
j day prepared to forward a protest
. to National League headquarters
[ concerning statistics on yesterday's
[ game with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Espey contends the official scorer
failed to credit Sammy Baugh with
the full number of passes com
pleted and subsequent total yardage
gained.
According to the Skins’ business
agent, Baugh was not given credit
for a pass with which Chuck New
. ton of the Eagles interfered. Un
der league rules, he pointed out, the
. pass is regarded as completed, and
| the thrower should be credited with
, the yardage gained on the play.
