Old Paulio Wachtel. whose spitter
stood Texas league batsmen on their
heads for season after season when
he wore the Panther spangles, came
back from the baseball graveyard
yesterday to kick the Dallas Steers
off of the pedestal they had occu
pied for almost a month.
The big dutchman. prize bust of i
the year and almost unanimously
declared to be through, proved
there still are some tricks in his
ancient right arm by holding the
Mavs to seven scattered hits and
defeating them. 4 to 1. He threw
open the gate to the Spudders. who
trounced the Indians. 10 to 6. and
moved into the coveted leadership.
While the Buffs have been noth
ing more than an occasional source
of Irritation to the six other club:

Stock's henchmen. Wachtel* tri
umph yesterday gave the Bisons a j
sweep of their three games on the
Dallas lot and five victories out of •
their last six starts against the Herd
Buffs vs. Spuds
There Is one bit of consolation
available to the Steers. Those ob
noxious Buffs were in Wichita Falls
today, and it might be they can con
tinue their mad career against the
new leaders. San Antonio, become
somewhat docile on the road, sup
plies opposition for Dallas The
next three days. It is possible the
two clubs will stage a battle for the
first half crown, if there is a first
half, right down to the tape, with
Shreveport, perhaps, mixing in the
festivities
By taking their third straight
from the backsliding Beaumonters.

within a game and a half of the top

Simmons’ Hitting
Recalls Razzing*
In Texas League
SHREVEPORT. La.. June 27—W
—The vicious hitting of Al Simmons.
Athletic outfielder, in the recent se
ries with the Yankees has recalled
to Shreveport fans the predictions
of many “experts” back in 1923 that
Al would never make a gTeat big
league hitter.
While plaving with the Snorts
that year Simmons was one of the
i most awkward batters in the circuit.
He came In for constant kidding
from fans all over the league for
his habit of swinging wiwh tits “*oo;
in the bucket." It was in San An
tonio that Al was being ridden par
ticularly hard one afternoon.
“All right." he retorted to a ring
leader of the razz brigade, “you had
better take n good look ar me Youti
have to come up to the big leagues
to see me next year.”

Athletics to Open
Series With Yanks
101-2 Games Ahead
‘By The Associated Press.*
The lead of the Athletics seems to
grow almost by magic, but National
league contenders continue to butt
their heads against one another
While the Pirates were losing and
the Giants w'innmg in John Heyd
! ler s circuit yesterday .the Mackmen
were cleaning up their fourth
straight from the defenseless Red
' Sox and th? Yankees were dividing
a pair at Washington.
These antics combined to place
the Athletics ten and one half games
in advance of the champions, which
; is no fit state of affairs if you ask
the business managers. The leaders
and the runners-up are to open a
I three game series against each oth
er in Philadelphia today: and sing
ers of the ballyhoo arc pressed hard
to discover anything the least bit
crucial about it.
One hcpeful note, for the charn
I pions. stood out in their even break
at Griffith Stadium Herr Pennock
pitched his second complete game
of the season in winning the
opener by 7 toi 0. Just when the
Yanks were gloating over their good
i luck. Washington won the second
game. 4 to 3.
The Athletics varied their pro
gram somewhat by playing a dose
one with the Red Sox. The Boston
ese. as a matter of fact, outhit the
Macks. 11 to 8. but the leaders
cashed in on runs 6 to 5.
Vance Loses
The Browns defeated Cleveland
1 by 6 to 2. and entered a virtual tie
with the Yankees for second place
The White Sox rallied In the ninth
I to defeat the Tigers at Detroit by
5 to 3.
The Giants finally pulled one
came from the Brooklyn fire, after
the Robins had taken three in the
series, the pulling was done by 3 to
2 in eleven innings at the expense
: of Dazzy Vance.
A five run assault upon Rcmy
Kremer in the sixth enabled the
Reds to defeat the Pirates by 6 to
4. and since the Cubs and the Card
! *nals were no scheduled to play, all
first division hands gained on the
: Buccaneers.
The Phillies snaoped further out
of their recent doldrums, taking two
1 eames from the Braves. 6 to 0 and
15 to 2.
SPORTS TALK
Speaking of modified murder— i
Tonight Maxie Schmelmg and
Paulino Uzcudun will scramble ears
in the Yankee stadium in an effort
to clear up the muddled, champ
ionless heavyweight ranks. Don't
foregt The Herald's fight oarty. A
leather-lunged announcer will bel
low punch-bv-punch returns haii
off the wire for your benefit.

This fight will have little sig

Paulino would net trv to Impress
the fans with his high intellect and
appreciation of high arts nor do

heiress but despite these good
noints. Paulino is a colorless per
former. He Is a willing mixer and
oerhaps the best “catcher.’’ as the
bovs sav. In the heavyweight rart'o.
"Catching” punches, however, is
not considered the best of form in
champions. The chamn is the lad
who tosses the devastating blows—
not the one who takes them
• • *
Maxie and P^ulic look a great

• • •
Looks are as far as the similar

nin has been bumping along the top
floor of fMicuffery for several
'ears. He Is no stranger In the
United States and thp fans have a
rretty fair idpa of what to exn°ct
from him. Maxie. on the other
hand has flashed into nromln^nce
within the la't six months and "has
fnueht only four times in the Unit
ed States.
• • •
Paulino Is past 30. The Black
Uhlan Is cnlv 23. Here Is a
means of comparison between the
two: Johnnr Risko. Cleveland’s
rubber-muscled baker bov.
trounced t'zcudun in 1927;
Schmeling’s chief claim to fame
, Is his recent knock-out victory
over Risko.
• • •
Althoug the Gachupln has
knocked out Phil Scott. Harry
Wills. Romero Rojas and several
others, he has never demonstrat
ed a punch similar to the one with
which Maxie sent Risko down to
sniff the resin. But. to straddle
the fence a little, it might also be
said that Uzcudun has never been
knocked out. Maxie has. "Gypsy”
Daniels, who speaks with a limey
accent, laid the Teutonic Terror
like the well known carpet. That
was In Maxie’s earlier days when
i he was a pugilistic neophyte.
• • •
The Black Uhlan learns quick
ly. He certainly knows his phfen
—pfhen—pfen.
He certainly knows his coins.
The greatest Teutonic hope since
Kaiser Bill has leaped from a
prelim boy to a pugilistic capital
ist commanding hundreds of
thousands for fifteen short ses
. slons of toil within four bouts.
For smacking over Joe Monte
l Maxie’s first opponent in the
States I he obtained a paltry
51.000. In his second bout, he
slapped over Joe Sekvra for a
consideration of 50.100. Then
came a little song and dance with
Pietro forri for which he got
hardly, enough lo mention. His
next American brawl, staged with
Risko, nr ted him a purse of 513,
000. He will get 5200.000 for the
bout tonight.

Winnerof Tonight’s
U zcudun-Schmeling
Tiff May Be Champ
Bjr ED WARP J. NEIL
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK. June 27 —*/Pi—A
heavyweight man of destiny may
rise tonight in the ring at the
Yankee Stadium in answer to the
call of the fight faithful for an
other world champion.
A mantle of greatness has hov
ered over Max Schmeiing . young
belting beauty from Germany, ever
since he caught up with Johnny
Risko. lashed out twice with his
right hand and shattered the Cleve
land rubber man'*' reputation for
durability Tonight a bigger and
better trained Schmeimg will at
tempt to do the same thing in
fifteen rounds to Paulino Urrudun
The squat man from the Basque
country, almost as broad as he is
tall and hitherto punch proof as
a block of steel will furnish the
final test of Sohrneling's ability be
fore a crowd of about 45.000 in the
American league ball yard. The
faithful are exoected to pay more
than $soo,OCO to sit in cn the ex
periment. with most of the proceeds
donated to the milk fund for needy
children
Can Max Make It?
In his sensational rise to the
front ianks of the heavyweight con
tenders. the German bomber has
displayed all the punching power,
skill and ferocity that goes to make
a chamoion. His knifing right hand
bounced Risko to the floor and
kept him there, something no other
heavyweight of the present era had
been able to do.
But in his short American cam
paign one test has been lacking. At
no time has Der Maxie been hit
solid!*' and hurt. At no time has
he been belted in the body until
th» skin blotched and then turned
purple. Max has vet to stand that
test before the critical eves of the
faithful and come back to weather
the storm
Of all the contenders for the
heavyweight crown Gene Tunney
re’inquished last summer. Paulino
•■eems most fitted to bring out all
the strength and possible weakness
in Sehmelinq’s fighting equipment.
1 He has a body as staunch as the
oaken timbers he once hewed in th«
snow Pyrenees, experience, unlimit
ed courage, and a rushing, rough
house attack that never falters nc
matter how fearful the shelling
about his own head
Winner May be Champ
The burly basque, a most diffi
cult target as he plunges into close
quarters with his arms folded across
his Jaw. has yet to face an oppon
ent who could hit him hard and
cleanly enough to halt him more
than momentarily Both are In
perfect condition after a full
month of work in open air train
ing camps Only in height and age
will there be any material differ
ence in their physical proportions.
Schmelinc has trained to enter the
ring at 18? pounds and Paulino at
190
The winner of tonight's fracas,
first of the nia >or outdoor shews, is
to meet Jack Sharkey, the Boston
Ar. in another heavyweight festival
here In September Unless Jack
Dempsev returns to the glove wars
for another fling at his own crown,
the victor in SeotemDer probably
will be accepted as the new world
champicn.
