BASQUE BATTLER
IN GREAT FETTLE
Pauline viii Take 1t Easy
Until Bout Thursday
With German.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

T OOSIACK FALLS, N. Y, June
II 22.-Paulino Uzcudun, matched
to fight Max Schmeling, the
Il i German Jack Dempsey, In the
final spasms of the heavyweight
elimination contest to decide Gene Tun-
ney's successor, has had his days OF
hard work and is convinced that he
has reached the best possible physical
peak.
Next Thursday. the night of the fight.
he expects to step into the ring in as
fine shape as any fighter ever faced an
opponent. The days from now until
then viii be spent largely in resting up.
He will have setting-up exercises. of
course, and the usual round Of dieting,
light road work and lodging newspaper
men. But nothing else.
These last few days before the tight
will be spent mostly with his loyal
since the start of his training ordeal.
Basque songs and little sentimentalities
reminiscent Of his native Pyrenees is
the prescription laid down by his doc
tors.
Basques are loyal. That goes without
saying, Of course. Even so, however,
the fact that Fortunio Bonanova, Met
ropolitan opera singer, will forsake his
vacation to sing for Pauline, his coun-
OLyuIdH, AS IuIJilcI pIOOl LIIdt Tile CHUTE
native colony in the United States Is
behind the mountaineer.
Bonanova has composed o paean for
Pauline paean of battle, Of strife, of
man against man, which will resurrect
the native ache in Uzcudun's breast for
something to conquer.
The writer mentions these facts be-
cause they will have lot to do with
the ultimate outcome of the fight. They
may be insignificant in themselves, but
remember that mental hazards have q
lot to do with fights, and when the
total is figured you will find that they
outscore all other angles.
That Pauline has superb confidence
in his ability to outscore, II not stop,
his opponent Is manifest in his plan to
fly to the fight. Last week Pauline had
his first airplane ride and liked 1t so
well that he has decided to ny from
this camp to New York.

TRANSFER RUMOR
ST|RS CINCINNATI
Plan to Turn Reds Over to
Another City Denied by
Prexy Heydler.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Nc1NNAT1 is indignant at the
suggestion In current rumor
that the Reds are to be trans
~ ferred to another city.
President John A. Heydler Of
the National League also scouts the
idea. In his opinion, Cincinnati Is as
well qualified to take care of itself as
any club in major league base ball.
There have been rumors that the
Cincinnati owners were willing to shift
the financial burden elsewhere. 1t
would be necessary to ind some city TO
which the Cincinnati club could be
transferred before that little event could
formally take place. Cincinnati is one
of the oldest cities in base ball. Its
immediate population within the walls
has not increased, as in some other cities,
but for deep-seated enthusiasm there is
no city able to boast a larger clientele.
The great trouble has been a steady
decline of winning skill on the part Of
the players. There are fans in Cincin-
natl who hold that Manager Hendricks
has been trustful of players who have
not shown that they are progressive and
that he has overestimated the skill OF
his men.
Too much reliance upon players who
do not show that they have good, all
around base ball skill has wrecked man.
ayers in the past and will wreck them
as long as there Is professional base ball
The Reds were q capital fielding team
in 1928, supplemented by pitching that
was as good as any In the National
League while it lasted. 1t didn't last
Cincinnati could not bat well enough
to stick In first place, and that, COM
bined with injuries, which will take the
starch out of any base ball team, set
the Reds back.
Hendricks figured they would be as
good this year with the injured players
topside once more. And that was where
he lost. He did not give enough
thought to the wear and tear on the
team and possibly did not take into
calculation that three or four Of his
players probably were at top form in
1928 and never likely to get back tc
the skill they were showing at thai
time.

Pauline has slipped some since he
fought George Godfrey. Certainly ne

Won Porat Hurt Him.
Take his match with Otto Won Porat
as an example. Won Porat IL great
hitter, but he can be hustled and
crowded out Of a decision. Pauline
crowded him. and Otto didn't loosen
until the closing rounds. Then he hurt
the BASQUE very badly. Had he started
punching earlier, Won Porat might have
won.
Pauline couldn't stop big Bill Hartwell
or Jack Renault in later bouts. Con-
sidering the fact that Pauline Is rated
az n very stiff hitter, this is no recon-
mendation for him. AS a matter OF
fact, the only tough fellows Pauline has
stopped are Phil Scott, Jack Humbeck
and Harry Wills. I rate them tough
for different reasons. Humbeck always
was n punching bag, but no one had
put him out before the Basque did.
Scott Is fast and clever, but goes down
easily. Wills, of course. was so er1or-
mously big that the Spaniardis knock
out over him was the fanciest Joo OF
his life.
Flouts Killer Stuff.
Schmeling we can rate only on his
American appearances. He has knocked
out Joe Monte, Pietro CORR and Johnny
Risko, and he beat Joe Sekyra pretty
badly. UnqueStionably, Max has I'M
proved. He proved his speed against
Sekyra, who Is q very fast man, for ne

Jim Corbett, Gene Tunney, jess Wfllard2
They were good enough to win the

There won't be any display OF box

ter fighter will win. Pauline has slipped
q little, but whether he has gone back
enough to make him victim OF the

Feeding the Athletes.

IT seems that the Yale athletic au-
L thorities are leaning over backward
In the matter of the purity of their
amateurism. Members of the Yale
rowing squad have been notified that
they must pay their own board at the
training table at Gales Ferry, where the
young men who are to pull for Old Ell
are now in training
OF course, If these young men
were not in training TO sweep the
Thames. II possible, they would not
be fed at the expense of the uni
versity. But 1t seems that the crews,
half in earnest and half in jest, have
protested at paying board and even
have intimated that II they have to
pay for the nutritious but unappe-
tizing food that is served at the
training table they might go on
strike.
This might be slightly wrong ethi
cally, but it is quite human. In thu
good old days, when women and chill
dren could cross the Canadian border
without being in danger of being pottec
by prohibition agents, they had some
quaint customs for athletes in training
at Yale. In those days when foot bal
player went stale they would give hin
tickets calling for beakers Of ale a
Morry's. These tickets were paid fol
7ut Of the athletic fund.
One old Yale man, q member Of
the foot ball squad Of the time, told
me that he insisted on his ale tickets
when he went stale, which was fire.
quently. He had an ample enough
allowance TO buy kegs Of ale daily.
but he took a delight in having his
ale at the expense Of the Yale
athletic fund. From what I know
of him the ale at Morrv's did him
good and always remedied the con-
ditions which made him stale.
But now it would seem that ticket
for the athletes ale at Morry's woul,
not only be unestical but quite Illegal

OF course, on the other pages OF The
newspaper they do not look at the COM
mencement exercises in the same tragic
light. In fact, they make brave show
of pretending that commencement GER
emonies are gay and gala affairs. There
Is heightened when the newspapers pub
lish photographs of the recipients OF
honorary degrees In cap and gown.
These always are good for some inno-
cent merriment.
I do not know but what the sports
writer's are right. 1t Is tragic matter,
when you come to think of It In q GER
tain light, to see q good running back
field step out into cold unronnantic
world to sell bonds or something Just
as good. You can imagine the gloom
at South Bend, Ind, when the Four
Horsemen of Notre Dame shed the
foot ball uniforms for the last time and
donned the caps and gowns.
From this point of view, there is
only one good feature about gradu-
atoms. They furnish alibis for the
f1ard-pressed foot ball coach. He
can say, I'VE might have had an
other great team this year II it had
not been for the graduations." It
seems that the only use of gradua-
tons Is to furnish casualty lists in
athletics.
There does not seem to be any prac-
tical way Of correcting this annual
tragedy. Even If good back or line
man, fired with the spirit Of dying for
the dear old alma mater, should decide
to do his best not to graduate and sue
coed In this self-sacrificing endeavor, it
would be OF no avail. He not only
would be put in the dumbbell class,
but he would be barred from playing
on the foot ball team anyhow, under
the three year rule.
Unless the Carnegie Foundation for
the Investigation of Teaching. the As
ISOLATION of American College Professors
or some other discerning committee can
find way we shall have to remain
reconciled to graduations. Only the
sports pages should not take them over
tragically, and the news pages should
treat them with less levity-and, above
all things-refrain from publishing
those comic pictures of the recipients
of honorary degrees.
