AS heavyweight ringster judgment

caliber than he met and kayoed last
night at Portner's Arena in Italian
Jack Herman of New York.
Herman, much more deserving of
the terrible" appelation than Ga
lento, proved just what the doctor
ordered for any guy wanting to win
fight without drawing deep
breath. His not-very-spry legs began
wabbling before the echo of the first
bell had died off in the blue stogie
smoke, and in exactly a minute he
was reposing on the canvas for a
nine count. At the end of 4 minutes
and SIS seconds of actual ring work
he was on the canvas for keeps.
At the outset it was evident it was
only question of time. Galento ma
neuvered Herman into position and
let him have it with short, wicked

TINE small crowd sought the exits
as the bell sounded for the
second round and nobody was
mistaken. Herman, who couldn't
have shadow-boxed the 10 sched-
uled round, wabbled out after a few
preliminary gestures Galento sunk
home another right. The aged New
Workers. seconds still were working
on him as the last of the crowd left
the arena.
The improving Mike Groves, kid
brother Of Trainer Harry Groves,
whipped out a decision over Baby
Charles Of Alexandria in a fast
featherweight six-rounder. Charles
was floored in the first but got UP
without a count and was singing
'em at the end.
AL Parks of Baltimore won a de-
cision over Porky Saab, Birmingham

Big Threat in 5OO-Mile Auto Grind

T INDIANAPOLIS, May 2s.-If
automobile racing is strictly q
young mans game, there are
a lot of old boys in it who
have been fooling themselves
and the race-going pubnc-for
q good many years.
Some of the speed demons here
preparing for the 500-mile race to

40-year mark and have no inten-
ton of hanging up their goggles.
Phil (Red) Shafer of Des

Leon Duray of Los Angeles, who
threatens to make comeback in
the racing game after a year of
retirement, will be 40 his next
birthday. He holds both the 21a
and 10 mile records for the local
course.
The old boys of the roaring
road, who have seen top speed for
racers actually doubled in their
racing hfetimes, may not be so
reckless as the youngsters, but
they are threats as long as their
cars hold together.
Shafer and Duray have been
racing in the Indianapolis speed
way classic since 1922. Neither
ever has won, but each has taken
away his share of the 100000
annual purse divided among the
first 10 finishers.

Smaller Man Confident.

THE betting remained at even
i money despite the belief Of
many well-informed critics that
McLarnin would carry too much
weight and hits too hard for Ross
The Chicagoan does not expect to
scale more than 1877 pounds by fight
time and thus will have to give away
about 10 pounds to McLarnin. Jimmy
must make 145 pounds at noon Mon
day but he will pick up two, perhaps
three, pounds before he enters the
ring, about 8:45 pm, Eastern stand
ard time.
But If the experts figure Ross can
not concede so much weight and hope
to win, the lightweight champion
himself Is confident.
I'm in the best condition of my
career" he said. II haven't sign of
excuse. McLarnin can't beat me-"

Cliff Rushes to Front.

Cliff Rushes to Front.
NNE factor in the Browns success
" is the play of young Horland
Cliff at third base. Hornsby
said earlier in the Spring that the
recruit from San Antonio would
develop into a star. But not even
Hornsby expected the kid to come
so rapidly. Under Rogers instruc-
ton, Cliff has become a 800 batter
and he'll back water from very few
as a fielder.
Then there is Ray Pepper. a big.
fast outielder, who was q Cardinal
chattel for several years. The Car
dinals held Pepper was not o big
league hitter, but Hornsby thought
differently and today the man is
batting more than 800 for the
Browns and a good percentage of
his punches are for extra bases.
Credit Hornsby for Peppers develop
ment. for Rogers is one man who
knows batting and how to teach it.
One of Hornsby's first moves when
he took over the Browns was to buy
Catcher Rollie Hemsley from Cincin-
natl. The National League knew
Hemsley for good catcher, but q
hard guy to keep on the reservation,
and he was headed for the minors
when Hornsby hooked him. Hemsley
not only is behaving for Hornsby, but
he also is among the leading Aneri-
can League hitters with a percentage
of around 400; which indicates to
me the man is getting plenty Of sleep.
Revives Pitching Staff.
THE old Texan has wrought a
similar improvement in his
pitching staff. Buck" Newsom,
a wild fast-ball pitcher from the
Pacific Coast League. has been tanned
sufficiently to locate the plate and is
winning games. Blaeholder, Hadley,
Coffman, Andrews and Wells also are
giving some good exhibitions of pitch
ing and the Browns have become
anything but pushovers.
st. Louis stands to get better bat
ting as the season progresses, for Sam
West has not hit his stride and both
Burns and Melillo are somewhat below
their normal pace. Furthermore,
the team will gain in confidence as
it goes along. The Browns were gen.
orally picked to finish eighth in the
American League race, but the proph-
cts were wrong on that guess. They
may not finish in the first division.
but Hornsby is going to get them out
of the cellar and that's all he prom
ised for this season.
The American League wasn't very
enthusiastic over Hornsby when Phil
Ball hired him last Summer, but
right now he's aces with all the club
owners. He's bringing the fans back
to the Browns and the entire league
Is beneftting in the pocket. Which,
after all, is more important to the
club owners than what a gent does
with his spare time.

Whitehill Fades Quickly.

1--WE innings was as much as any
/ of the other regulars went in
the training period and it isn't
reasonable to expect pitchers who
have been attuned to five-inning terms
only to carry on at top speed beyond
such a span at the outset of the
championship chase.
They'll probably need two or three
weeks OF gradually increased work
while the season is on before the Ma
tionals will have a really dependable
curving corps.
Earl Whitehill. last year one of
the finest left-handers in the circuit
certainly petered out quickly yester-
day after going over the flve-lnning
route to which he had accustomed
himself in the training period. In the
first five frames, the Earl gave up
nothing more than a single and three
passes. But he lost everything in the
way of pitching cunning in the sixth.
Then the first four of the Red Sox
to step to the plate fell upon him
for singles and before Russell, who
was hurried to the relief of the fading
fork handler, could get three out the
home side had hung up four runs.
That> left the Nationals only one to
the good and in none too nice a
plight, what with the one pitcher
Manager Cronin had insisted was in
the best form of all blasted from the
box.
From then on it was tough tussle
all around and there is likely to be
many more such grueling contests
for the champs until their hurlers
round into the form that under Or
binary circumstances would permit
them to go a route. The pitchers
are going to feel that lack of long
service under fire in training. some
thing that could not we'll have been
avoided because of the brevity of the
Nationals exhibition schedule this
Spring.
