Louehran Refuses to Be Counted Out
Tommy Slated for June 20

phian, and it gals him considerably.
He never will get another chance at
Sharkey. The fans have not for
gotten the abrupt ending to their
last fight, when Loughran went
down from a blow high up on the
temple, took short count and then
got up, cropping his way along the
ropes with his back turned to his
rival.
Hamas was little more than a
promising youngster, with a few
good bouts under his belt, when he
was sent in for a boxing lesson
against the clever Loughran. He
put everything into his initial
charge, Just as he used to do on the
foot ball field, and hammered away
until Loughran dropped.
A clever boxer is the last to con-
cede that he has nothing left in his
legs or that he has lost his sharp
ness of eye and ability to pick of
blows. When several blows get past
his guard he is practically dumb
founded, and before he can realize
his failings he is lost. That has
happened to Loughran and it is apt
to happen again any time he takes
an opponent lightly.

then he got it with breadbasket catch.
Coleman had just tripled before Jimmy
stepped to the plate.
A sore right arm, the result Of blow
by a pitched ball sustained Saturday,
forced Mickey Cochrane's retirement
yesterday after five innings of work be-
hind the bat for the AS. Ed Madjeskt
assumed the catching task.
Manush waited until the sixth inning
to make it Is consecutive games with
safeties. He did it by rifiing q single

CCHULTE did lot Of sprinting for
- his home run after polling the ball
to the angle back of right center
in the fifth frame, although the relay
to the plate was so poor he might have
saved his .underpinning a trif1e. His
smash sent the leather directly into
the bend of the fence at the deepest
point of the Washington outfield.
Sunday is no day for the AS this
year. They haven't won a game on the
first day of the week in this campaign
and they have played nine. The Ma
tionals have licked the AS In three Sun

All quiet at the ball yard today, but

again tomorrow. After that, nothing
more in Griffith Stadium until July s
when the Indians will breeze in to start

through Saturday. Both won five and
lost two and were the only. clubs to be
placed on the right side OF the ledger.
Greensboro dropped four OF its seven

three of eight. WinSton-S Salem was on
the losing end four times in seven.
Swapping its losing streak, which nao

.GETSFLy|NG START
AS SP|L0T, HOWEVER
Pirates Back in Race With
Double Win From Cards.
Yanks Draw 10000.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press sports Writer.
THE Cleveland Indians have
made their start for a new
deal in the American
League struggle but in
their first game under Walter
Johnson's management they failed
to show any signs of overcoming
their one conspicuous weakness
lack Of hitting power.
The Indians won their first game for
the Big Train" yesterday, but while
the bats of the other American League
clubs were booming out a thunder Of
base hits and home runs, they collected
only five safeties and had to 20 10 in
nings to beat the seventh place st.
Louis Browns, to O. In the tenth Mel
Harder loaded the bases and was re-
lleved by Oral Hildebrand, who retired
the side and a few minutes later won
MS own game with single that brought
in Joe Vosmik with the only run.
WEAK as this performance was, 1t
w let the Indians only a half game
behind the fourth-place Philadel-
phia Athletics and one game behind the
chicago White Sox, who went into third
place by splitting a double-header with
Detroit while the AS lost slugfest to
washington, 13 to 6. The five-hit pitch
ing Of Milton CASTOR and AL Simmons
slugging gave the Pale Hose the opener.
81, but they tossed away the second,
5-3, giving the Tigers four runs by er-
rors. The Senators smashed out 10 hits
on four Philadelphia pitchers while the
AS best return gesture was Jimmie
Foxx's fourteenth homer of the season.
The league leading New York Yam
KEGS and the last-place Boston Red Sox
divided a bargain bill before 10000
fans. Home runs were featured in both
games. The Yanks tied the first game
with three late homers, including Lou
Gehr1g'S thirteenth and won 8 to Y
when Roy johnson muffed a f1y. Smead
Jolley's homer with one on in the sixth
and last inning gave the Red Sox an
11-9 triumph in the second clash.
A COMEBACK" rush BY the Pitts

spot OF the National League pro
gram. The Pirates took two games
from the second-place st. Louis Car
dinals, winning the first lit with A 10

pitching.
The league leading New York Giants
meanwhile took rs trimming from
the Phillies, who scored six runs against
Hal Schumacher in the fourth inning.
After going down 5-4 In the opening
slugfest when Cincinnati scored four

M the batting championship
Y of the American League
find its way to Chicago this
year to help repay Lou Comiskey
for the risk he took in purchasing
Al Simmons and Mule Haas, out
fielders, from the Philadelphia
Athletics, along with Jimmy
Dykes, third baseman?
The Chicago club owner already sees
real results from the deal, for the
White Sox are no longer referred to as
hopeless trailers. They are not first
in the league, it is true, and are not
likely to be first with the Yankees
making runaway race at present, but
they are respectfully good. In fact, they
have spiritedly held their own against
all the clubs of the league since the
start of the season.
Early in the season Simmons was
- bemoaning the fact that he was
not making any hits. He had a lit
tie streak when, as often as he tried to
hit the ball safely. the contrary sphere
would land squarely in the hands of a
fielder.
His batting percentage under such
annoying treatment did not 60 up, and
Al expressed his deep disgust that such
things could happen. He wondered,
and some others wondered also, If the
time was coming when he would say
good-by to dreams Of leading the
league batters once more and would be
rated with the has-beenS.
CIMMONS for time couldn't connect
- with the ball right. The fast ones
and there is many fast one pitched
to the batters of the American League
he popped up and the slow ones he
didn't hit with any effectiveness. But
he kept on hitting at the ball, no mat
ter how elusive it seemed, and by and
by things began to grow brighter and
business in his particular line began to
pick up 1t picked up so much that he
is now leading the league hitters.
The leader a year ago was Jimmy
Foxx of the Athletics. Funny about
Foxx. This year, try as he will. he
can't get up among the first five bat
ters, and the league as whole isn't
batting as hard as it did year ago.
Foxx's figures then were t'lst little
short Of 400. This year Sni-nons is
quite a few points below Foxx's level.

SET-UPS FOR BAER
WOULD Be FOOLISH
Might Dim Glory and Spoil
Him as Attraction in
Championship Bout.
BY FAIRPLAY.

N YEW YORK, June 12.-Max
nj Baer will meet the winner
| Y of the Jack Sharkey-Primo
Carnera fight unless he is
foolish enough to meet several set
ups and thus dims the glory that
is his. The Californian's amazing
victory over Max Schmeling has
placed him at the top of the heap.
Students of the game now are try
ing to figure out what Baer's chances
would be against either Sharkey or
Carnera. The latter's style is too set to
expect anything new from him. The
big fellow bores in or steps around and
rams out ham of gloved fist. 1t is
a jarring blow and his long reach which
permits him to hold his opponent safe.
He does not strike a heavy blow but is
considerably stronger than Baer in the
clinches.
DAER'S crab-like crouch and his
ID ability to strike out from this pc
culiar position would annoy the
none too smart Carnera considerably.
His terrific right to the heart would
slow Primo down to walk.
Sharkey would be different story
altogether. Jack uses his noodle and it
works at top speed until a brain-storm
upsets him. and then anything is liable
to happen.
The champion has been away from
active service since he won the title
from Schmeling last June. How he will
fare against Camera on June % is
problematic at this time. 1t will be
some time before he meets Baer, should
he win over the italian, and at his age
it is certain he will have slid back to
some extent. Jack has seen the best
come and go and realizes his number
will be "up" soon.
DAER has time in which to iron out
- some of the glaring faults he
showed against Schmeling. Tricks
such as back-handing, spinning his man
into the ropes, holding with one hand
around the neck and clubbing behind
the ear with the other and butting are
not good form. He may not get away
with it the next time out. It is up to
him to overcome these habits and get
down to real fighting if he expects to
hold the crowd that is roofing for him.
Max is going on tour with Jack
Dempsey. Just as soon as this trip is
over, the big fellow would be wise to
cut out the bright lights and apply
himself to the task he has set for him
self-winning the world title. If he
would work with several rough sparring
mates every month, he would step into
the ring against either Carnera or
Sharkey better equipped than he was
when he defeated Schmeling.
