RED SOX

The worlds champion New York
Yankees have no monopoly on slug
ging fonors in the American League
this season. The Detroit Tigers
have been hitting at .320 clip, and
yesterday the Athletics went on a
terrific batting spree against the
Red Sox.
The Mackmen maulers gave Ruth,
Gehrig g. Co. a mark to shoot
at. by polling out 20 hits, including
three home. runs, and scoring "a
runs. A batting bee in the sixth
inning netted 10 runs. The Mack.
men almost equalled the modern
hase.hit record of 81. held by the
Giants, and the modern run record
OF 27, held by Cleveland.
Jimmy fFOxx and Al Simmons
each contributed five hits, FOxx
getting two. hOmers aHd SIM
mons one. Manager CarriSan.
Of the SOx. called upon 81 play
ers in an effort to stem the tide.
The Sox scored six runs.
Meanwhile. the league-leadins st.
Louis Browns chalked up their
eleventh VICTORY OF the season Oy
defeating Cleveland, 4 to 3, General
Alvin Crowder registering his fourth
win of the year. It was the Browns
fourth consecutive triumph and
Cleveland's fifth straight defeat.
The first intersectional contest Of
the. year will be played today when
the, Phillies entertain the Cubs, the
other East VS.. West clashes being
held over until tomorrow and Satur-
day.
The Cubs and Reds battled
r thirteen innings to 4.tO-4 tie in
Cincy yesterday after the Pork.
willie outfit had scored two runs
in the ninth to tie the score.
Hack Wilson hit his fourth
= homer, and Bush and Root
pitched against Luque, Ash and
Rixey.
The only other game played was
another 13-inning tie contest between
the Cardinals and the Pirates. The
Pirates, like the Reds, tied the score
in ntnth-inning rally.

'What's the use Of fighting
my way to the top? 1t didn't
get me an: thing, did t?"

And so Johnny never trained in
the ways of earlier days. In fact,
he trained largely on nice fatten-
ing food. The result quickly showed
in his ring work. Once the most
consistent performer among the
. h .vies, Risko became the most IN
consistent. He lost oftener than
he won, but, because ] had great
chin and one of those oaken stom-
achs. he wasn't being bowted over
not until he met Max Schmeling.
Risko didn't think much OF
Schmeling. AS a result, he ducked
real training for that fight. Like
all other ringmen, he hated the
ordeal of tuning up. And so he
climbed into the ring against the
German in no condition to travel
10 rounds at top speed.
Schmeling set the pace--and 1t
was a fast one. For six rounds
Risko more than held his own.
Then fat ana fIabDy and winded, he
blew up. He thought that he could
weather. any storm that Schmelfng
might brew up during the next four
rounds. But in that he was wrong.
The youthful German carried the
fight to the tired Risko with plenty
of fury, and, as result, he drove
the weary Cleyelander around the
ring, broke down his resistance and
then scored a. knockout victory. 1t
was a great triumph for Schmeling.
But it also was the best lesson that
Risko ever learned. It taught him
that condition is vital for ring
doms successes.
Risk6, seeking comeback i.
chance, finally got a match with
Otto Won Pofat, whe was a sen.

But nothing like that happened.
Risko gave Won ,.Porat a beating,
winning all the way. And while the
fistic world was buzzing in surprise
over the result. big Johnny of
Cleveland. was snorting:
Surprise? Huh? No surprise
about it! l trained for that one
that's all"'
And now Risko, who has learned
the value of training and the utter
folly of loafing between fights. is
hoping that Max Schmeling comes
back and agrees to fight him again.
II so, you can bet 1000 to 1. with
absolute safety, that Risko would

trained for any other in his life"

The best spoon shot ever saw was
made by Johnny Farrell on the seven
tenth hole at La GORGE last year. John
was playing superb golf, but so were
several others in the big field, particu-
larly Bobby Cruickshank.
Farrell needed pair of fours to win,
or five and four to tie. He had
good. long shot to we'll trapped green
on the seventeenth. If he failed to
hold the green he might conceivably
land in the sand. and lose stroke or
more. But he took the chance and
played bold and beautiful spoon shot
right to the carpet.
Holding shot like that requires per-
lection. Farrell made the shot exactly
right. and got the necessary four. He
added another four ON the home hole
to get 63-one of the finest rounds
ever made anywhere-and to beat out
Cruickshank, who was coming like
house on fire. q
Yes, sir, the spoon is great club.
1t is one of the handiest ever made,
though the opportunities afforded 1t are
not nearly as numerous as the mashie
and iron get.

in nine cases out of ten try to steer the
shot away from the trouble.
You never see Jones do this, but
he is one of the few who step up
and give the ball ride, even where
the championship might depend on
single shot. The importance of
the occasion doesn't change his
stroke. 1t doesn't make him tighten
up and suddenly get conservative or
make him attempt to play one safe"
In the affair at Miami Beach last
week Stribling understood that this was
about his last chance at any title. He
had the backing of his Southern
friends. He knew how much big money
waited for him, In case he won. But
when he hit the stretch against Sharkey
he couldn't make himself tear and fight.
And when it came to the last round he
was at his worst. One big rally here
might have pulled him through, or at
least earned a draw. All he needed
was K. o. Christner's ring spirit for the
last two rounds, and nothing could
have stopped him. But old styles and
old habits have way Of taking charge
when the pressure gets heavy, and in
the big majority of cases the competitor
will revert to his faults under this brand
of fire. 1t is easy enough to correct
faults when there is nothing at stake,
or. as Don Marquis once said. Mind is
to matter-when there is moth
ing the matter"

HAS THREE OFFERS,
EX-CHAMP|ON SAYS
Garden Proposition Among
Lines of Activity Jack
viii Consider.

BY the Associated Press.
n n IAMI, Fla, March 6.-JacA
M Dempsey left Miami and
wv Miami Beach last night fot
4 New York, not as former
heavyweight champion, but in
his role of successful promoter Of ths
recent battle between Jack Sharkey and
Young Stribling.
Il don't know what I'll do yet" he
said. IT have three things before me,
but I cannot say yet what the next step
will be-"
One of the three lines of activity
facing Dempsey is understood to be a
berth with the Garden Corporation as
promoter.
He has an offer from Humbert
FugaZy, former rival of Tex Richard,
for a partnership in two-man firm OF
promoters.
The third opportunity for continued
association with the business side OF
fighting, he said, is proposition to go
in with Floyd Fitzsimmons of Detroit
in the development of world cham
pionship lightweight fight between
Sammy Mandell, champion, and Ray
Miller, Michigan youth, who has forged
to the upper part Of the list in his class.
And then, of course, Dempsey may
decide to don the gloves again.
I'D like to get in there at least once
more" he said, but 1 can't decide
whether it's more exciting to win a
fight than to promote one successfully"
Jack said he had made an offer to
Pauline Uzcudum, Spanish battler, for
a bout with Sharkey, the former having
asked for a guarantee of 100000.
He plans to attend the Madison
Square Garden show in Boston Friday
night, he said. With him was Estelle
Taylor, his wife.
