Paulino's jaw has been the in
vulnerable target of practically
every ring opponent he ever had
but Schmeling thinks he can
crack it and if you don't be-
lieve it, consider the member of
his sparring group who this
week had to pay a visit to his
dentist.
The victim was this same
Heller mentioned above. Mon
day he took such a lacing about
the head, that Tuesday he had
to have a tooth yanked that
Make almost yanked with left
hook which seemed to come
from nowhere. but which landed
right on Heller's jaw.
Meanwhile Joe Jacobs, Schmel-
ing's American manager at
least, has sent out a hurried
call for requirements to fill the
front line trenches of Schmel-
ing's training camp. The shock
troops which haven't deserted
have been laid on the shelf
through one ring accident" or
another and Schmeling has been
asked by Jacobs to pull his
punches or face the alternative
of being without sparring mates.
But Schmeling, like Jack
Dempsey, doesn't seem to know
what it means to hit at half
speed. The fight is less than
two weeks off now, and Schmel-
ing thinks it's time he unloaded
his heavy seige guns against
his playfellows.
All of which bodies fair for
plenty of action week from
next Thursday night when he
meets Pauline Uzcudun at
Yankee Stadium, New York, for
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst's
milk fund show. Meanwhile,
Pauline, snugly tucked away in
the foothills of the Green
mountains at Hoosick, N. Y. is
doing a little humping of SPAR
ring partners of his own accord,
although no word has come out
of those hills to the effect that
he scared any of them out OF
camp.

THIRD BASE
DEFENSE
WEAK
BY Bob Thsyer

= Absent from the lineup OF
thJ Washington Griffmen for
three weeks because OF a
twisted knee, Ossie Bluege,
versatile infielder, may shortly
be substituted for third base
man Buddy Myer.
Though hitting above 800, Myers
recent defensive work has left much
TO be desired. Since Bluege Is con.
sidered one of the smoothest all
around third.sackers in the Dig
time today, his return to the not
corner would occasion little sur
prise.
Starting the season at shortstop
and later shifting to second base,
Ossie's lay-off has provided a break
for Jack Hayes, the Alabama pep
ner not. Lifted from the lineup
previously because of fragile stick
work, Hayes has since established
himself as a second baseman OF
the first water.
With Hayes and Joe Cronin
showing undisputed class, Myer
removal would provide the logical
solution for the return of Bluese,
one of the American Leagues most
valuable infielders.
An air-tight fielder and
dangerous swatsmith, Ossie, un-
til switched to shOrtstOp to
make room for Myer, was gen.
orally considered one Of base
balls blue ribbon hot corner
guardians.
Possibly Bluege's great work at
the third station has spoiled Wash
ingtonians. In any event, it can
safely be said that Myer has sur
fered badly by comparison, and
unless an unexpected turn OF ar
fairs Is brought about, he Will
probably be benched in short or
der.
While coming through with
flashes of brilliance, Buddy, on the
whole, has revealed little other
than a batting punch and fleetness
afoot. Considered one of the
American Leagues leading third
basemen a year ago he has bobbled
his team into several holes recently.
The unexpected brilliance of Joe
Cronin, more than anything else,
is responsible for the present situa-
ton. Proving himself a live pros
pect last season, Jumping joe
this year has uncovered a hidden
punch that has kept him in the
lineup.
Off-color defensively for atime
he has since found himself and is
now considered one of his team's s
most reliable men.

with nothing to do for the first
time in 25 years and is glad of it.
The strain, almost intolerable at
times, of carrying forward the pace
that made him the greatest ball

The constant vigilance over diet
and health no longer is necessary.
He is Ty Cobb, gentleman of leisure
now, and, although he didn't say
so, l gained the impression that
he really is happy for the first
time since fame claimed him as
its own.
Maybe if I had been

az was like an actor who wasn't

all the time. There's no fun in
that: only work, terrible, nerve
racking work"
The writer saw Cobb in his hotel
this morning, some hours before
he was to board ship with his
family for a summers vacation in
France. He arranged the trir last
winter when, no longer identified
with baseball after 25 years, he
feared he couldn't stand inactivity
during the ball season.
II figured l would need safety

myself mellOwed and content, with
out the slightest desire to return.
Don't misunderstand me. Baseball

On June 6, 1925, the games were
held in the Central Stadium under
the auspices of the old Aloysius
Club, which heroically strove to pro-
mote field and track athletics. Dan
Hassett, Yank Robbins. Joe Fitz-
gerald and others of the old Alloy
sius Club, plugged along loyalty,
but their efforts were in vain.
The 1925 games were not, how
ever, without star competitors, for
Bob LeGendre, fresh from setting a
new world record of 25 feet, inches
for the broad jump in the penthalon
in the 1924 Olympic games in Colon
bres Stadium, Paris. was on hand.
Bill Dowding, another ex-George'
town L. track star and likewise
member Of the 1924 Olympic team,
competed.
This afternoon. however, there
will be four prospects for the
1882 u s. Olympic team taking
part in the special 1O0.yard ex-
hibitiOn in the Central Stadium.
They are Claude Bracey, of
Rice Institute, coached by the
veteran Ernie Hiertberg; Regi-
maid "Pete" Bowen, of Pitts
burg University: Dick Rock
away, Of Ohio State University,
and Flash" Farmer. Of North
Carolina University.
These four will draw chief atten-
ton because it is possible that
one of the quartet may establish
a new District record for the 100
yards. Frank Hussey competing
as schoolboy star from Stuyves-
ant IN. " High School, set the
record 81 seconds in the 1924 Cen
trail &C" Club games in the Central
High Stadium. He was pushed that
Afternoon by Charlie Pugh, then

dell. of Tech High and later star

The other events on the sched
ule, nevertheless, will not want Tor
competition as the leading track
sters of the South Atlantic District
will vie for the points. The main
battle for team points will lie be-
tween the Baltimore police team
and Coach Earl Thomsons Naval
Academy aces. Thomson is the
holder of the world record OF the
12O yards high hurdles, making
14.4 seconds on May 20, 1920, while
representing Dartmouth in the
c. 4-A champs at FrankhA Flelo
Philadelphia.

In other words, he loves base
ball. He believes he is through
with it forever.

Even if he could, he wouldn't
come back as an active player, and
there are few ownerships and man.
agements he would find appealing.
Cobb is reputed to be worth mil
lion in his own right and can afford
to be discriminating.
He says his sons won't be base
ball players, either. This attitude,
by the way, is not supercilious.
Cobb doesn't feel that his family is
too good for the game that brought
him riches and fame immortal. He
simply figures that the odds run too
strongly against success.
Nobody is too good for baseball" !"
he adds. Its the greatest game of
them all. But, for the majority, it is
only a game, after all, and not a
career. We have a nation of 123,-
900, 900. The stars of the game num-
ber rot more than so. The odds,
therefore, are all against you, for
only the stars really get all there is
to be gotten out of the game, and
even some of those don't last long
enough to make it worth their while.

"And II they did become stars,
they would only have to go
through the intense, nerve-kill-
ing years that I experienced. l

enemy"
Yes, it would seem that, as he
feels now, Cobb is lost to baseball
for all time. He gave il everything
