BAER TO QUIT
THEATER

Speaking as one trouper to
another, Jack Dempsey, the
Manassa man-mauler who came to
town last night and left early this
morning, is all in favor Of dark
houses wherein his protege, Max
Baer, the Livermore larruper is
concerned. Personally the former
champion thinks the theater is
great institution, but declares if a
man Is a mechanic he should
not try to be a surgeon.
Dempsey wants to arrange a
Carnera-Baer match and also dis
courage Baer from continuing his
stage and movie work. The two
don't mix, says Jack, and points
to his own bitter experience.
If Baer is in condition, he'll
take Carnera, declares the man
who should know what's what in
the ring. Should the stage leave
him flabby and out of condition
it will be all Carnera. Dempsey
admits Primo lacks finesse but
says he's big and strong and can
hit and take it and that none but
the fittest can survive" against
him.
When and if the title bout
materializes, Dempsey will bring
it to the Yankee Stadium instead
of the Long Island bowl, property
of the Madison Square Garden.
Baer said last Thursday he ex-
pected the fight to be held in the
stadium in June. Jack said he's
willing to wait until early october,
if necessary, to squeeze out the
Madison Square Garden whose
contract with Carnera expires
September 80.
incidentally, Dempsey doesn't
share the view held by Gene Tun-
ney that Camera will beat Tommy
Loughran if they meet in Miami
He said:
Tommy LOughran is a very
smart boxer. He can't hurt the
Italian, but he is just cute
enough to Outlook him."

BAD TEETH SEEN
REASON FOR
PAUL STALL

Few persons realize under what
conditions Paul Harrison, leading
bowler in the District League, has
been forced to perform the past
few weeks.
Bad teeth. the bugaboo of many
athletes, sneaked up on the elor-
gated duckpin star just when he
was going his best, to slow him
up. Paul was holding 1870 aver
age, the highest ever maintained
over such a long period Of time,
when he threw in a miserable
(for him) set.
Although he was suffering with
a bad shoulder. which the teeth
are blamed for, he refused to
use this as an alibi, saying he
just couldn't hit the headpin.
Again he was forced to roll in
the United States Sweepstakes,
Saturday, with the ailing shoulder
and finished next to last in a
field of IT, most of whom he
could beat under normal condi-
tions.
To Remove Teeth
Today he plans to remedy the
situation by having a handful Of
teeth removed, which X-rays
showed to be in bad shape. A
weeks lay-off has been ordered
for the Arcadia star, and he will
leave the little pins alone for a
week. Which comes as relief
to his friends. who yesterday
heard the discouraged man say
he thought he would have to
leave the game alone for the rest
of the season.

PH|LL|ES, CARDS
WILL BECOME
HOT RIVALS

The appointment Of Jimmy
Wilson as manager Of the PhillieS
means that there is going to be
a feud between the Phils and
the Cards this coming season, for
Frank Frisch is peeved at Wilson
and the new Philly leader is not
going behind doors to say what
he thinks of Frisch and his new
real managerial methods.
In fact, there are likely to be
some real clashes when these
teams meet instead Of the old
fashioned drab games invariably
captured by the Cards.
No Taking Water
Wilson is not going to take
water from Frisch and the Cards
and that stand may please Philly
fans, who like a bit of a wallop
tossed in with their basketball
now and then.
The clash between FriSch and
Wilson is not a manufactured
one to give the PhillieS q new
manager boom in their home
town or to cover the sale Of
Davis to the Cardinals. There
is real animoSity, according to
reports emanating from the
Quaker City, where Wilson has
taken hold of affairs with q
punch that the Quakers had not
known in years.
Wilson opened up the other
day when he got a telegram
from Frank Frisch congratulate
ing him on getting the job as
leader of the Phillies. Wilson
took it as a slap and said that
FriSch was just trying to be
funny. He related:
I'VE were pals for six years.
We were constant companions.
On the day Frisch was ap-
pointed manager he suddenly
changed and announced that
he was going to run the team
az he saw fit.
WANTS CURVES
"LOok here, wilson, he said
to me, 7 want the st. Louis
pitchers to use curve balls.
am tired of that hard high
one that you have been calling
for. want batters to hit at
the curve balls
"SOme of the veteran players
looked at one another. They
could see that FriSch was start
ing off with some Of the stuff
he learned under McGraw.
"Hallahan and Dean said to
me that they were not going to
wear out their arms throwing
curve balls. They told me that
they would pitch as they always
did.
"FriSch came to me when he
saw the pitchers were not toss
ing curve balls as he ordered.
He put the blame on me, and
then to make me look ridiculous
he benched me. Well, I have q
job and / will weigh in with
Mr.. Frisch and his Cards any
old time.
THAT HIGH, FAST 'UN
'T am going to work the
pitchers according to the idea
that had prevailed at st. Louis
before Frisch took charge with
his McGraw ideas of pitching.
That is the old high, fast ones
will be winging in there and the
pitchers will win more games
for the PhillieS than they did
last season.
II will be playing against
FriSch and his men even if am
unable to take part in any other
games. 1 want the Phils to
beat out the Cards, even though
we finish seventh. Unless some
thing unforeseen happens ex.
pect to 60 behind the bat in
100 games, and the first thing
I am going to get out of the
minds of the Phil pitchers is
that bunk about the short right
field wall. The rival players
won't get many chances to hit
at balls that will sail over the
short barrier"
