"HIS is the way Maxwell portions

Tuesday:

horizontal position on his bed. He
is almost always in bed by this time
6:45 a.m.-MaX is awakened, usually
in playful way.
a.m.-At this hour the Megaphone
takes to the road. dressed in Gypsy
costume. He is paced for five miles
by Ed Wynn, Jack Pearl and Man
ager Ancll hoffman. Three of the
entries are scratched every morning.

Tigers Aided BY YankS.

TINE Tiger advance was aided by
the failure of the New York
Yankee, erstwhile leaders, to get
more than an even break with the
Boston Red Sox.
The Yanks Slugged Nose Grove and
Henry johnson for 25 hits and a 15-to-
3 triumph in the opener. but Boston
came back to win the second. to 4.
The Sox drove Red Ruffing cut in the
eighth and continued against Burleigh
Grimes, who was cooled off when
shower halted the proceedings in the
midst of four-run rally.
In much the same way the Chicago
Cubs helped out the Giants by going
l3 long innings to defeat the st.
Louis Cardinals, II to 6. Twelve in
nings of battling wound up when
Frank Frisch, Cardinal manager, was
chased for an argument with Umpire
Rigler. In the thirteenth the Cubs
landed on Tex Carleton and Jim Lind
sey and doubled their score with five
hits. The defeat dropped st. Louis
full game behind the Giants.
Pittsburgh improved its fourth-place
considerably by taking two games from
the Cincinnati Reds. to l and to /,
behind the fine hurting of Bill Swift
and Ralph Birkofer.
In the other games the Phillies made
it four victories in a row by taking
"goofy" 12-to-4 decision from Brook
lyn, slugging out all their runs in
three big innings, and the Browns
turned back Chicago White Sox, 3 to 2.
when a pair of Chicago errors in the
fourth gave st. Louis all its runs.

Strikes Out in ANNOYANCE.

2:45 pm-Along about this time,
Max is getting tired of the company
of his sparring partners and does his
best to make the feeling mutual. He
lands several good blows.
400 pm.-Now, after the usual
shower, change of clothes, and mild
raillery, Max is escorted to his bed
and resumes the horizontal position.
500 p.m.-The dinner bell rings, to
coin a figure of speech. Our pugllist
goes four quick rounds with slice
of steak and punches the light and
heavy milk bottles.
600 pm-This being Tuesday, Max
does no broadcasting of public sort.
He plays leap frog, drop the handker-
chief and musical chairs with his
sparring mates, reads the editorial
pages of the newspapers, and tapers
off with a chapter of Kant, Glbbon,
Voltaire, or Thornton w. Burgess.
900 pm-At this time, Max climbs
back into bed and dreams that Dyna-
mite Jackson's left hand has become a
permanent part of his own face,
somewhere between the nose and the
right maXillary.
This slight sketch of a day in the
life of a Livermore Larruper should,
if have fulfilled my purpose, makes
it clear that Baer is not underesti-
mating his opponent in the title fight.
The best thing about the camp is the
spirit of boyish camaraderie which
you stumble over at every turn. AS
long as Max Baer and Buddy, his
clean -limbed brother, can make life a
thing of tears, laughter and whole
some entertainment for those about
them, they will command the respect
of every growing boy in America and
keep the fight game high in the
public esteem.

Several Flaws Check Griffs.

TT HASN'T been unsteady pitching
altogether that has hampered the
Nationals, at that. Other flaws
in their play has tended to hold them
back
There has been glaring weakness
in the middle line of defense. Neither
Cronin nor Myer has f1elded up to
the form of past seasons and this has
hurt no little.
Then the failure of Cronin to hit in
accustomed form has been a blow to
the Washington cause. Joe has been
driving in runs for his club, true, but
packing the punch he did the past
four seasons the Nationals now would
have many more games in the won
column. Much is gone from a club
when a hitter with 1906 career
average drops to .222.
Perhaps the Nationals greatest
handicap this season. however, has
been the lack of a catcher possessing
the power to drive runs across and
the base-running ability to score with
reasonable frequency. When that foul
from Joe Vosmik's bat crippled Luke
Sewells finger down in New Orleans
in March. the Washington ball club
took it on the chin.
In the almost one-third of a season
the Nationals have played Sewells
batting has been sorely missed. Moe
Berg and Eddie Phillips have done
we'll behind the bat. Both are good
receivers. But when it comes to
swinging the bat neither compares to
the Sewell of last season.

Max has contributed to popular
superstition by looking vey bad in
his training sessions to date. Certain
persons, whose cauliflower ears show
them to be in MaX's confidence. will
tell you that the Megahpone doesn't
care much about fighting and plans
to make his bread and jam as an
actor and radio stooge from this time
forward.
Rumors like that don't do the box
office bit of good. A month ago, the
heavyweight title tiff was expected to
be a sellout, in spite of the generous
price being charged for a close view
Of the dance floor. Now, however, you
could take the wrinkles of care around
Madison Square Garden. place them
end to end and manufacture a daisy
chain u feet longer than the one they
use at Vassar. The advance sale is
very SLOW
l feel it to be the duty Of every
public minded citizen who has had a
look at Maxwell in training to report
his findings. Once the public gets an
idea Of how the Megaphone spends
his day, hour for hour, the public Will
perceive the Stiffness of the rumors
that he is loafing on the job.

SeweIl's Punch Telling.

CEWELL hit just .264 last year, but
y what a help he was to his club
Much more than Berg this sea-
son, and Berg now has a batting
average of 265. And much. much
more than Phillips with his 200.
Sewell drove across 81 runs last
season. He scored 65 That was
driving in run and scoring a run
on an average of about every two
games. This season neither Berg nor
Phillips has done anything to COM
pare with Luke's 1888 performance.
Berg has averaged driving across
one run in every five of his games
He has scored about once in every
six. Phillips has sent across a tally
in something like every three of his
games. But he has scored about once
in every dozen. That's enough to hold
back the Nationals.
Perhaps when the Nationals get
back from Boston to round out the
remainder of the month at home and
Sewell returns to the game-he is ex-
pected to do so next week-there will
come general pickup.
The sooner it comes the better. The
way this pennant race is jumbled, a
sudden squirt by the Nationals could
easily put them in command OF the
situation.

ASoOI4cbcd COS oPOI % "IitCA
TT IS a base ball custom to
say that a pitcher who al
lows only one hit has just
L missed the hall of fame"
a place reserved for the no-hit
hurlers. Bob Weiland, the big
SOuthpaW who went to the
Cleveland Indians in the deal
with Boston for Wes Ferrell, has
missed more than that-he not
only pitched a one-hit game, he
lost it.
Weiland gave the Detroit Tigers just
one single in yesterdays mound duel
with Lyn Rowe. 1t came off Charley
Gehringer's bat in the sixth after
Goose Goslin and Gerald Walker had
drawn walks and drove in the first
run of the game. A force-out brought
Walker home with the second The
final count was to l after Weiland
had been lifted for pinch hitter in
the eighth and Mel Harder finished.
The Indians only satisfaction was
that he halted Goslin's hitting streak
after 20 consecutive games.
Detroit's triumph. the tenth in 13
games, carried the Tigers into first
place and presented a brand-new pair
of league leaders to the fans. At the
