Max SchmeHng Resumes Training Today
JOE JACOBS
SAYS CHAMP
IN SHAPE

KINGSTON, N. Y, June 16.
Max Schmeling was to resume
boxing today. The heavyweight
champion rested yesterday for the
second consecutive day, and his
workout in preparation for his tilt
with Jack Sharkey in New York
Tuesday was confined to the golf
course.
The champion planned to box
this afternoon and following
another rest tomorrow will return
to the practice ring again on Sat
urday and Sunday. He will break
CAM on Monday.
Satisfied With Condition
Manager Joe Jacobs said today
he was we'll satisfied with Schme-
ling's condition. He indicated the
champion was taking things easily
so as not to be a trifle over
trained. Jacobs pointed out that
the German had been training
longer and harder for the Sharkey
fight than for any bout in his
ring career.
Visitors flocked to the cham
pion's camp today and workmen
were rushed to the scene adding
temporary benches to the outdoor
stadium to accommodate the
crowds expected over the week
end.
Expects to Garry Fight
Jacobs remained confident of
MaX's ability and predicted he
would win against Sharkey. He
said he was in better physical
condition than he had ever been,
and that he would surprise some
fans by wading into Sharkey at
the outset. carrying the fight to
the challenger.

GIANTS REACH.
FOURTH PLACE

The New York Giants and St.
Louis Browns were providing the
chief fireworks today as the
standing of the clubs in the big
League races continued to change.
Beating the Cubs yesterday 6
to 3 for their sixth straight tri-
umph over the Western clubs, the
Giants finally had reached the
500 mark today and rested in
fourth place, half a game behind
Pittsburgh in the National League
scramble.
The Browns, the giant-killerS
of the American League, who had
Just finished running Washington,
knocked off the Athletics, 9 to 8,
with a 2-run rally in the ninth.
Roy Mahaffey went haywire in
the ninth, loading the bases and
then forcing in the winning run
by hitting a batSman.
Two grand old veterans and
former buddies, Sam Jones, OF
the White Sox, and Herb Pen
mock, of the Yankees, hooked up
in a brilliant pitching duel, Jones
getting a 2 to l verdict when
Iyn Larry made another of his
costly errors. Gehrig's fourteenth
homer was New York's only score.
Babe Herman, former Dodger,
spread gloom in Brooklyn by
smacking a homer, triple and
double as the Reds beat the
Dodgers, S to l, behind gilt-edged
pitching by Red Lucas. PETS
triple in the eighth gave Pitts
burgh a 5-to-2 decision over the
Braves. The Phillies outslug-
ged the Cardinals, 7 to 4, in a
game held to six innings by
rain.

ACE
SETS PACE
OUT WEST
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich, June 16.-Al-
though the Griffmen have not
been going so exceedingly we'll Of
late, there is among their fold
one who has kept up a continual
steady performance. And that in.
dividual is none other than Heinie
Manush, the big Dutchman.
Heinie has been delivering IN
excellent manner, not only on this
Western trip, but throughout this
season, and his value to Manager
Johnson was clearly demonstrated
recently when he was forced on
the sidelines because of a charley
horse.
Couldn't Get Going
Last year, Manush was a flop.
He couldn't get going at any time
no matter how hard he tried
with the result he naturally was
of little use to his team at bat.
The outfielder's comeback, if it
can be called that. proves another
of those cases in baseball where a
player just has an off year every
SO often.
ManuSh has experienced what
could be called, but two other
bad years in his career. These
were in 1924 and 1927 as a De
troit Tiger. The first mentioned
season was his worst as Heine
could only compile a .289 aver
age. In 1927 his mark was ,299.
Last year it was .307. In normal
fettle Heinie is a true $50 bats
man.
He has shown this by his heavy
stick work during the other years
of his career. And the way he's
going this season there's every in
dication that he'll finish up
around this mark if not over it,
The outfielder collected four Of
his teams eleven hits yesterday
in the first game against the De-
troit Tigers. One was his tenth
homer of the season-a clout
that travelled into the right field
| bleachers. This sock put the
GriffS in the lead, 2 to /, at the
time as it came with General
CroWder on first base.
May Force Change
The bringing into action Of
Tommy Thomas, newly acquired
pitcher from the White Sox,
during yesterdays game as a re-
lief hurler, might have a ten
dency to alter Manager John
sons pitching plans for the re
mainder of this series.
1t was his plan to use Thomas
in the final contest Of the set
Sunday. But now no doubt Frof.
Monte Weaver will be given the
call. Lefty Lloyd was due TO hurl
today, with Dick Coffman, the
former Brownie, tomorrow.

ShGrkey 4 Pounds
Lighter by Means of
Hot Indoor Workout

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, June
16.-Jack Sharkey was almost
five pounds lighter today. After
working indoors with the mer-
curry climbing higher every min
ute. Jack dropped his weight
from above 206 pounds to 202.
The challenger, rapidly reach
ing the peak of condition, went
through four sizzling rounds yes
terday. He pummeled his spar
ring mates from the tap of the
opening gong, using mostly rights,
although lefts on the chins of
his foes proved effective.
TOrrid Mixing
Joe Sekyra, the Ohio boy, got
one of Sharkey's lefts flush on
the button, and while he was
gasping the Boston sailor moved
in close, shooting a volley Of
rights and lefts to the body.
They fought fiercely in the sec
ond round, Sekyra returning blow
for blow.
Sharkey then paced two rounds
against Charley Anderson, Chi
cago heavyweight, and ended his
drilling with five rounds of gym
work.
Says Sharkey In Shape
Jimmy Bronson, who was a
training camp adviser and chief
second for Gene Tuney in the
retired champions two famous
encounters with Jack Dempsey
saw the Bostonian work.
"He is as close to perfect as
I have ever seen him." said
Bronson. He could not be in
better condition and his box
ing is splendid"
The Washington times., 1932-06-16
Wishy- Washy Days

One of the reasons their
sport has fallen to such low
estate is that too many diSap-
pointments have resulted from
the more important heavy
= weight fights of the last few
years and people have grown
tired of paying fancy prices for
bouts which progress unsatis-
factorily and have similar end
tngs.
For this coming fight, those
who have visited the training
camps say each fighter plans a
procedure he has never fol
lowed before. Sharkey is said
to have at last gained control
of his emotions. That means
he will not literally go loco in
the ring to pull some silly stunt
that ! schoolboy would know
enough to avoid.
~ In behalf of Schmeling, it is
said he hits harder than he
ever did before, and that ne
may have the scent of a knock
out in his nostrils when he
. takes the canvas against Shar-
key. Heretofore, Schmeling has
been more of a slow, method
cal worker, preferring to whit
tie his opponent down inch by
inch.
How true all of this is we
shall see within very few
days now, and in the mean
time there is some speculation
rampant as to the likely win
ner. Fight fans are asking them
selves, and each other, which
scrapper is the best bet. We
don't know whether we can
give them much guidance in
this respect or not.

WANTS
SCALP Of FOE

Chief White Feather, the Indian
wrestler, seeks the scalp of Fred
Grobmier, the tall Iowa reed whom
he encounters in the headline
match of an all-star card at the
Clark Griffith Stadium tonight.
The chief has no intense hatred
for Grobmier. none more than
for any other opponent, as the
Redskin treats 'em all harshly.
But the chief wants to get even
with local fans for their unklnd
words, and nothing could be
Sweeter than tearing apart Grob-
mier, their idol.
The. chief, however, must steer
clear of Grobmier's torturOus
"hook scissors" that cut down
every opponent here but Jim Lon
COS. Grobmier must also be on
his guard lest the Indian clamps
on his vicious chin lock-"
Another match that should
prove popular with the specta
tors tonight is the duel between
Rudy .DuSeK ana jim MCMlllen,
which should rival the Grobmier
White Feather tussle in rough
ness. Rudy will probably start
the fuss with his elbow punches
and then Big Jim will counter
with flying tackles and fists.
That revolving mailman. Berto
Asserati, mixes wiC:l a compa-
triot, Ronato Gardini, the Italian
wonder, in another contest that
should be highly entertaining.
George Kotsonaros and Frank
BrunoWicz will hook up in a 30
minute preliminary, while a bout
involving Jim Corrigan and Jack
zarnas opens the show. at $50
o'clock.

Couldn't Risk a Dime

. Having seen Jack Sharkey.
who. by all normal means of cal
culation, should be able to take
his younger opporent, do so
many queer things in the ring
we often feel if we were a
wagering man, we wouldn't RISK
a dime on him. Even against
Mickey walker last summer, 1t
appeared that Sharkey lowered
over the Toy Bulldog, yet ne
either couldn't or wouldn't drop
the tough little Rumson scrap
per.
Then, too, his wars against
Stribling and Scott so far from
proved him great man that
. it is difficult indeed to asSo-
ciate him with the worlds
heavyweight ch m pi o n Sh lp
! at which he will be shooting
Tuesday.
The best fight we ever saw
Sharkey put up was against
this very Schmeling. whom he
is so soon to meet. and we
should say that if he can come
into the ring in as good condi-
ton and with as much determi-
nation as he did at their last
.face-off, he ought to win going
away.
Meanwhile Schmeling is
couple of years older. He has
the benefit of the Stribling
fight under his belt. He has
grown somewhat. of course, as
young men of his age are wont
to, and as they say, he is punch
ing much harder. At this writ
ing one would think that Shar-
key should win, yet if the pock-
-etbook is closest to the heart,
how safe do you think your
bankroll would be on a man
of Jacks past performances?

first game of the series, 7 to
Joe, despite his ailing thumb,
was sent up to bat for Ossie
Bluege in the ninth inning with
three on base and a hit needed
to bring his team back into the
game again. The peppery short
stop delivered. Picking out Elon
Hogsett's first pitch plateWard,
Cronin lined a single to left field
which sent two runners Scamper-
ing across the plate.
That the Griffs lost the game
in the end because Roy Spencer,
next up, struck out, is not Joe'S
fault. He came through as OF old
for Manager johnson and made
walter and everybody else wish
that he was ready to take his
place again in the daily lineup.
Can't Field
He may try to play today, but
it is uncertain, because that
thumb might mean permanent
injury. 1t doesn't hurt Joe TO
bat. but in fielding, every touch
of the ball in his glove pains the
injured digit.
The Griffs, no doubt, will be
different team when Cronln
finally returns. With ManuSn
hitting we'll. the team most
certainly would have some sort
of an attack again.
However Joe will get back into
the game only when all danger
of hurting himself is gone.
In regard to yesterdays game,
the old familiar lacking of pitch
ing and hitting lost for the
Griffs. Manush hit all right, but
Heine could not do it all, While
Crowder had another of his
famous bad innings which turned
the ball game from a possible
easy GriFf victory to a Tiger
success.
Had Plenty Chances
At that the Griffs should have
won hands down, because OF so
many chances to score plenty OF
runs. In the fourth inning the
bases were filled with no score
resulting, while in the sixth the
sacks were again loaded With
only one run being scored.
Tommy Thomas, in his debut
as a Griffman, retired the side
when relieving CroWder in the
sixth, but ran into trouble in the
seventh, when the Tigers scored
the runs which later proved to
be the margin. Whitley Wyatt
was the Tiger hurler until two
were out in the ninth. Elon Hog
sett relieved. and after getting
nicked for a single off CronlnS
bat which scored two runs, set
tied down to strike out Spencer
ending the game.
Earl Webb. the former Red SoX
outfielder. made himself solid
with Tiger fans by socking out
pair of doubles, both of which
figured in the scoring. Manush
and Reynolds got homers Tor the
Griffs, Manush's coming with
Crowder on base in the fifth.
