the best English vocabulary in the
fight game, and Jimmy Bronson, his
American manager, reports that he
has added criticism" and original
ity" to initiative" frequency" and
mental telepathy" in his repertoire
of large words.
The Westphalian is not a great
fighter. He hasn't shown anything
like knockout punch In his perform
ances over here. He is not very adept
at ducking and lodging. But he's
got a lot of courage and eagerness,
and he throws punches all night long
with both hands. A good many Of
them land. They don't have the
lethal effect of a cobra's kiss, but they
worry and damage the target to no
small extent.
This country may not be hotbed
of Nazi sympathizers, but there is
room for Herr Neusel here If he can
dispose Of Schmeling in an effective
manner. That's what Herr Neusel
intends to do. With a guarantee of
neutrality from Chancellor Hitler and
all the congressman, he can cut loose
and settle his grudge to the mutual
profit of himself, Herr Damski, Mr..
Bronson, and the third Reich.

But no bunch of polo players ever
has worked harder than this Eastern
outfit. No small part of this Is due
to the knowledge that every position
on the team had at least two well
matched candidates. This will mean
a well conditioned roundup and a
well conditioned set of ponies, which
also have been on the job.
A year ago, the East felt fairly sure
of winning. Now, the East under
stands that only the finest polo it has
to offer will carry anything like an

These will be helpful factors, but
it is no easy job to send 30 or even

" ARL WHITEHILL stands today
- the leading pitcher Of q for
lorn hope and does so to no
mean extent through his abil-
ity to bafie the best ball club the
American League has put forth this
season.
The left-hander yesterday ran to
an even dozen his victories for the
Nationals in their sorry season, and
his 7-to-5 win over the Tigers was the
third scored by him in conflict with
his former club, that looms a certain
pennant victor.
Rallying after an Indifferent start
in the campaign, Whitehill improved
steadily and today is beyond question
the Nationals outstanding slabman
in ability as wen as on record.
His winning percentage on the
pitching hill runs LOG points ahead Of
his clubs in the championship chase.
That certainly leaves no room for
argument.
Whitehill has against his dozen VIC
tories nine defeats. Six Of those de-
featS the Earl suffered prior to July !.
Two Of the three lickings he has had
since that date were due not to any
poor pitching by him, but to the
woeful weakness of the Washington
club at bat. In those two hckings
Whitehill yielded but i've runs.
