BRADDOCK IS
EASY WINNER
Heavyweight Tournament
Almost Ruined By
Lasky’s Defeat
NEW YORK. March 23—<*»►—The
apparent winner of Madison Square
Gardens heavyweight elimination
tournament. James J. Braddock of
Jersey City, awoke Saturday and
wondered Just where he would go
from here.
A 3 to 1 outsider in the betting
despite his reputation for fistic
insets. Braddock gave Art Lasky.
Minneapolis youngster, an artistic
beating Friday night in a 15-round
bout that threatened to bring the
tournament to an abrupt and in
decisive finish.
Not many hours before Braddock
completed his conquest of Lasky,
Prirrio Camera, the only other win
ner the tournament developed, an
nounced he was breaking loose from
the Garden to sign for a 15-round
bout with Joe Louis, sensational
negro from Detroit, in the Yankee
Stadium June 19 under the pro
motorial auspices of Mike Jacobs.
Primo's managers indicated they
were upset by reports that the win
ner of the elimination tournament
wouldn’t get a shot at Max Baer’s
title at all—that Max Schmellng
already has been lined up for a
Baer fight in the Garden’s Long
Iaalnd bowl in June.
Jimmy Johnston. Garden fight
director, insisted he had an oral
agreement with Camera's mana
gers that big Pnmo would remain in
the eliminations and said he still
hoped to get Camera and Braddock
together in « week or two.
Braddock fought a slugging match
against Lasky and the middle west
erner never really got himself un
trarked.
All of Lasky’s advantage tn
weight—it was just short of 15
pounds—did him no good at all tn
the face of Braddock'* aggressive
attack, a right-hand drumfire for
which Lasky had no adequate de
fense.
Braddock's decisive victory brought
an ovation from the crowd of 10,145
customer* who paid 522.426.04 as
the gat e
Braddock weight 182 1-4 pounds;
Lasky 197.
Number 554
ALEX MORRISON says:
It’s so easy to see the other
fellow's faults that we find it dif
ficult to believe that he can't see
them himself.
For example: It's correct to
hold the club firmly with the left
little fingers. Realizing this, many
players try to do it while still
pressing the left thurrtb against
the shaft. They haven't learned
that this thumb pressure makes it
impossible to hold firmly with the
■ttle fingers. Yet, they'll stub
bornly insist that they are main
taining s tight grip with the little
Angers.
Even the casual observer can
aee that these fingers let go by the
time the top of the backswing is
peached. The thumb pressure
•gainst the shaft must be re
moved before the proper grip with
the left hand can be maintained. *

Phils Out of Running But
They’ll Make Lots Noise
WINTER HAVEN. Fla.. March 13.
UP)—The Phillie* may not be going
anywhere m particular this season
but there is no inferiority complex,
on that account, in the rank* of a
peppery band of athlete* presided
over by fighting Jimmy Wilson
In his more optimistic moments
Manager Wilson considers the Phils
have a chance to finish as high as
fourth in the coming National lea
gue race. Jimmy is among the
smartest handlers of pitching talent
in the major leagues but he will
need to be a miracle-worker to get
the club out of the second division
It finished seventh last year.
Wilson thinks he got all the bet
tar of the winter's trading with the
New York Giants, wheieby he part
ed with Dick Bartell and George
Davis in exchange for John Collins.
(Blordyi Ryan. Johnny Verges.
George Watkins and at least $50,000
in cash.
Ryan's record cannot compare
with Bartell's at shortstop or as a
hitter but Blondv ha* unquenchable
spirit and the knack of achieving
results that do not show in the
"little red book "
Fight for Third
Verge* has a fight on his hands
with Buckv Walters for the third
base jobs. So far Walters has had
the edge but the band-box park &
the Phillies may help Verge* revive
his slugging habits. Johnny has ex
perimented at second base but Lou
Chiozza, a sophomore star, is def
initely slated for this job. with
Dolph Camilli, a long range bats
man. holding down first base.
The short right field fence should
be a boon to Watkins. George thinks
he should hit upwards of 20 home
runs in the Philhe park, for he is
a natural pull hitter. He will patrol
center field, with Ethan Allen mov
ing over to left and Johnny Moore
handling the carom shots in right
field.
While hopefully casting about foi
adequate replacements, Wilson is
developing a ‘fire ball" pitching
staff. The Phils are concentrating
on pitching speed to help check op
posing hitters.
New Hurler*
The Phils came up with two pitch
ing sensations last year m Curtis
□avis, drafted from the Coast lea
gue. and Euel Moore. Indian right
hander purchased from Baltimore !
Davis won 19 games and finished
third to Dizzy Dean and Carl Hub- |
bell in effectiveness. Moore, the
veteran Sylvester Johnson and
•Fidgety Phil’’ Collins will do tn*
heavy duty but Wilson expects to
surprise the league with one or two
newcomers.
Fin:e he is short of left-handers,
unless Roy Hanson makes a come
cack. Wilson is working carefully
with Johnny Pezzulo. a former
“farm-hand" of the Giants, who
von 16 game* with Richmond last
year and features a pretzel windup.
Wilson and his great young back
stop. Al Todd, each played in 91
games last year but the Elmira
iN.Y.i boy hit .318 to his manager's!
292 and probably will do more than
half the receiving this season.

At first sight, America named the Silver Streak
Pontiac the most beautiful thing on wheels. But
even that high praise tells only half of Pontiac's
story. Get in, dri»e, and you'll discover that this
low-priced car is eren better than it looks. It's an
unusually safe car with solid steel “Turret-Top'*
Bodies hy Fisher and triple-sealed hydraulic brakes.
It’s a marvel on the rood—smooth, lively, easy to
handle and easy on gas and oil. And, as such super
fine features as silver-alloy bearings and a completely
scaled chassis prove, Pontiac asks no odds of any
ear at any price when it comes to quality and depend
ability. A look, a ride and you'll decide—the car
makes the price phenomenal.
