again.
But the thing that will make
things complete will be the
sound of Heine's hits clicking off
that big brown bat of his. Then,
and only then, will opposing pitch
ers fear the stalking to the plate
of the two sock doctors of the
Griffmen again, for they are
truly the punchers of the team,
there's no doubt about that.
This turn of affairs and it
wouldn't matter whether the
Griffmen started winning con.
sistently again or not. That is,
for a short period at least.
The Washington times., 1931-07-09

Joe slammed the ball every time
he stepped to the plate, some
thing he has not been doing re-
Gently, and in five trips all told
he smacked out two hot singles.
Sparkles Afield, Too
His second one-baser drove over
two of the Griffmen's three runs
in the sixth. Hitting like this
and peppery Joe should soon be
seen as the Cronin of old, if looks
mean anything.
Frisco played a nice game afield
also to bring out the only bright
bit of the Griffmen'S showing for
the afternoon.
He handled six chances nicely
and looked particularly good
backing up Bluege in the fifth
inning, taking FOxx'S grOunder
in deep short and throwing him
out after it had passed OSSie at
a mile-a-minute clip.
With Cronin back in form both
as a hitter and a fielder, there is
only one more thing necessary to
get the Griffmen out of the cer-
tain depths they're in at the
present. And that is the return
to socking fettle of Hetne Manush,
the jolly left-fielder.
Manush is in terrible batting
slump right now. It's worse than
it was on the Western trip, which
is bad, very bad.
Manush Could Help
Heine doesn't know what's
wrong with himself, so earnestly
has he tried to hit safely recently.
His light clouting has hurt the
teams offense no little and it
has had its telling effect when
the losing showing of the GriffS
of recent date is brought out.
Lefty Grove had Manush eX-
ceptionally bothered during yes
terday's game. Heine's most dis
astrous effort was striking out
with the bases full in the fourth
inning.
The return of ManuSh'S hit
ting form will be big help, II
ever he can return. Signs of
Cronin coming to life certainly

I5-ROUND 60
WILL FAVOR
SCHMEL|NG

NEW YORK, July 9.-For the
first time since the pre-Sullivan
era, neither principal will be an
American when the next heavy
weight championship bout is
fought in September.
BY choosing Primo Carnera as
Max Schmeling's next opponent,
Joe Jacobs, the Germans man
ager, merely carried out his origi-
nal program, agreed upon when
Schmeling and Stribling signed
last January, to Sidetrack JACK
Sharkey, the American champion,
until next summer.
Jacobs figures that Schmeling
is coming and Sharkey is going,
and that the Black Uhlan will
have a better chance of beating
the Bostonian next summer than
this fall. BY the same token,
Camera is improving steadily,
and will not be as tough in
September as he might be next
year with a few more hard fights
under his belt.
Realizing that Der MOxie Is
a stretch runner of the ring,
a man who fights his best Sfter
the tenth round, Jacobs in
sisted that the Carnera bout
be scheduled for Is rounds in
stead of 10. This stipulation
led to considerable speculation
today as to the site of the
fight, with as many as 10 cities,
including London, Paris and
Berlin, under consideration.
Jacobs likes Jersey City, Chi
cago, Philadelphia or New York.
OF the four, Jersey City appears
the logical choice. The Illinois
and Pennsylvania legislatures re-
Gently failed to pass bills permit
ting 15-round bouts in those
States, which would seem to
eliminate Chicago and Phila-
delphia.
Reinstatement Possible
Schmeling cannot fight in New
York unless Jack Sharkey is his
OF course if Mickey
Walker should beat Sharkey in
week from next |
Wednesday, a development that
would be highly pleasing to
schmeling, Carnera, and the pro-
Make could be reinstated
here.
The one drawback to Jersey
City is that the Madison Square
Garden Corporation of Illinois
would have to shell out 100000
for the erection of an outdoor
arena, unless the State furnishes
an outdoor stadium of sufficient
size at a reasonable rental. On
the other hand, the promoters
hope the bout will draw $500, 900,
which would enable them to spend
100000 for an arena and still
realize . handsome profit.
Schmeling will get the usual
37H per cent of the receipts
and Carnera the challenger'S
end Of 1917 per cent. Both
will share in the radio and
movies receipts.
In announcing that the bout
had been closed, William B.
SAKE, president of the Illinois
corporation, merely stated that it
would be staged ''in the early
fall" Under the original con-
tracts signed last January, Sep
tember was fixed as the date.
The German, who sailed Tues
day for a vacation at home, will
be instructed by his manager to
return here the first week of next
month to prepare for Carnera.
