equaled only by Billy Gilbert.

Umpire Was Stubborn.

"HE Yanks had made run at the
outset with Combs triple and
Chapman's long fly and then did
not find the plate again until the eighth
inning, when Gehrig poled the ball over
the right-field wall. 1t was plainly a
foul drive, but Umpire Brick Owens
ruled it otherwise. A long and bitter
protest by the Washington Club ensued,
in which Owens was asked to refer the
decision to Van Graflan, umpire sta
toned back of first base when the ball
was hit by Gehrig, but this the umpire
in chief stubbornly refused to do.
The Nationals came right back to tie,
but with Crosetti's walk, Van Atlas sac
rifice and Combs single the Yanks
scored in the ninth, to take the game,
to 2.
Crowder has started only once
against the New Workers this season.
It was in the first game of the May 81
double header in Washington. He was
found for eight hits and five runs be-
fore he was lifted in the seventh in

victory, when the Nationals scored with

a win over the Yanks on the book,

derstand why Sharkey
changed so markedly in the sixth
round.
They saw Sharkey winning in a
gallop-and then suddenly he
was taking a lusty beating, even
before the knockout arrived.
Yet at least part Of the answer is
simple. Every time a 2oo-pounder socks
26o-pounder it takes almost as much
out of the thGmper as 1t takes out Of
the thumped.
I recall talking to Jack Dempsey
about the third round at Toledo, in the
Willard fight, when Dempsey began
firing badly: In that contest Whiard @
outweighe,. Dempsey by something like
IS pounds.
"When you begin punching
that much extra weight" Demp-
sew said, lit takes more out Of
YOU than one might imagine. No
one can hit . solid fellow IS
pounds heavier without getting
tired in a fairly short time.
II know by the end Of the third
round my arms felt too heavy TO lit.
I kept hitting Willard but the steam
was going out. He was groggy nut l.
couldn't knock him down again. You
can punch light bag indefinitely, but
YOU can't punch heavy bag over a
few minutes and have any steam left"
Sharkey had been ripping
steadily at Cameras head and
stomach for fue rounds-tor IS
minutes. Many of these punches
hit nothing but open space, a
number landed on head or body
and seperal Others caught the i'm
| Dnct of Cameras tremendous
! arms, which happened to be as
| hard as oak.
Fifteen minutes of punching a tar
get as big as Camera must have had
Sharkey arm weary before the sixth
round started. This meant that Car
which he promptly did. Sharkey
called on all he had for one smashing
shot in the sixth, but when that failed
he was through
Baer and Carnera.
IN a financial way at least Car
nera is lucky to have an op-
ponent with the drawing
power of Max Baer-especially In
a Camera show.
Sharkey had barely fallen be-
fore the chatter started about
Baer and the new champion
what would happen when they
met.
It will be risking something to put
off this fight until next Summer, be-
| cause several things can happen IN the
course of a year If anything happened
to Baer, Camera would be left high,
t'dry and lonesome, with no one to tight
who could draw out important money:
There is no one but Baer who could
make q Camera match worth putting

The impetus Of these last two
fights will carry on through Sep
tember. It might not be % hot

tween 100000 and $1,o00,0o0, and

Baer might not hit Camera nearly
as often as Sharkey did, but Camera
would get quite q different reaction
