Indian ball club, so Walter johnson
passes out from the list of big league
managers.
Walter johnson always has been
one of the shyest and most retiring of
big league stars. He has been one OF
the finest characters In base balls ex-
tended list. But he never was quite
able to prove managerial ability that
compared to his great pitching, which
still holds the record for shutouts and
strikeouts-the final answer to pitch
ing effectiveness.
johnson never was lucky manager.
Accidents and illness cut heavily into
his playing strength. Early in the
Spring Cleveland was rated on a par
with the Tigers in playing strength,
with a combination of strong pitching
and hard hitting. But the spark was
missing. and rough luck did the rest.
Steve O'Neil will be given his chance
the remainder of the season, but the
talk of Babe Ruth for the job con-
tinueS. No one has yet proved that
the Babe can't run a ball club, and
the Babe still thinks he can on mod
ern lines of speed and hustle He may
yet get his chance before 1886 opens
up its Spring campaign.
But the Big Train Is headed for the
yards-and he isn't the only leader
who will be headed for the guillotine
this season.
Here at least was one arm that car
ried more speed than any other
pitcher ever knew.

DIZZY DEAN PAIRS
: FERRELL'S FEATS
Homer Wins Game, Nets
18th Victory, to Match Yves
as League Leader.
BY ANDY CLARKE,


~ IZZY DEAN, having peeked
over the fence to observe the
j feats of Yves Terrell In the
49, American League, whaled out
a tenth inning home run yesterday to
give the Cards 6-3 victory over Gin
cinnati.
The mighty sock added another
pitching victory to the record Of the
fractions twirler, running his total to
Is, highest in the National League.
Terrell leads the American League
with 10.
1t was on July 81 that Terrell rode
the ball out of the field to save Lefty
Groves six-game winning streak. The
next day, against st. Louis. he again
homered in the ninth to win for the
Red Sox. .
1t Is not unlikely that Dizzy was
thinking of those feats yesterday. He
went to the mound in the seventh and
ningS.
With the score tied at 3-3 in the
tenth, Bill Delaney got a lucky
double, Charley Colbert was passed
and Leo Durocher sacrificed. Dean
stepped to the plate and the ball
sailed into the left brandstand.
Zachary Beats Giants.
THE Brooklyn Dodgers shaved full
= game of the Giants lead as Tom
Zachary coaxed another victory from
his aged arm. The Giants got II hits
but only one run. The final score was
81.
The victory, combined with the
Chicago Cubs 81 victory over Pitts
burgh, cut the Giants margin to three
games. Roy Henshaw was on the
mound for the Cubs. but it took a
brace of errors on freak play to turn
the trick.
Bill urges got single in the third
and then Henshaw, trying to bunt,
popped one into the hands of Birkofer
The pitcher, apparently intending 70
trap urges and get both runners. in
tentionally dropped the ball. then got
confused and threw wild to first.
BY the time Suhr got 1t, urges was
nearing third. Suhr threw to the left
field boxes, and urges scored.
The Boston Braves defeated The
Phillies 40 behind the three nit
pitching of Bob Smith. For seven end
one-third inings the Braves did not
allow a single ri1anseto reach first.
Dolph Camili dispeued the dream of
q perfect game with q clean single.
In the only American League game,
Washington beat the Athletics, liza.

The pre-battle set-up was almost a
carbon copy of the Dempsey Firpo
drama of flying fists and tumbling
bodies, except that no heavyweight
championship prize will be at stake
tonight.
Louis, cool and deliberate, was the
better strategist and boxer, like the
Manassa Mauler of old, but before
him he had a man like Firpo, who
didn't know what danger meant, q
man who could smash his iron fist
through a Pinch board, take a blow

the pro-Levinskys had a suspicion
that Louis packed too many bombs
for the pride of Chicago's Maxwell
street, but they wanted to find out
and all the boxing world wanted to
know-if Louis could take what Levin
sky has to hand out and still come
back and give what he's got.
Both principals, great oratoricai

A Bit Lacking In Tact.

THE Kings worst vice is tactleSsness.
You recall that he was matched
with Max Baer last Winter during
Max's so-called exhibition tour. The
fight was supposed to be an exhibit
ton, but the King didn't know what
Of. He thought maybe 1t was an ex-
hibition Of strength and skill. So he
promised his constituents that he
would murder Baer and bring the
title back to Maxwell street on sill
yer herring-dish.
Mr.. Baer was notified of this au-
dacious proposal and straightway
stated his own case.
eff Levinsky gets tough,
will take a punch at him." said
Max. eff he lands his punch,
and I miss mine, he can have
the title"
Well. history tells you that Levinsky
did get tough. He nudged the champ
a bit too freely with his right, and
Max responded by slapping the King
fish into the land of nod. Perhaps
that was the last good punch that Max
Baer will ever throw. He certainly
lost the hang Of the thing imme-
diately after his bout with Levinsky.
You know the rest of the KingflSh's
public and private woes. He Is trou-
bled with an appetite for fish and a
sister who can lick him at catch
weights. In the matter of English
speech. he suffers from a severe slice
and an occasional hook. All this does
not make the King a bad guy. II
makes him an interesting and colorful
character, in addition to his niceness
It will be sad to have to speak OF
the King in the past tense-"The King
was this" and 1.-The King was that
But if he stops too many of Louis
punches. he is apt to become extremely
nonresident as a fighter. And don't
see how he is going to duck them.

You may recall the story Of the
mouse trap maker-where a man in
the woods or the wilderness making
the best mouse-trap would soon have
a beaten path running to his door.
Chicago is neither woods nor will
derness, but one of the great sporting
centers of the world. And in place Of
making the best mouSe-trap. it seems
that Joe Louis is supposed to make the
best left hooks, right crosses, left
labs and what it takes in general to
pin an opponents ears fiat against
the human skull.
On form, past and present.
Kingfish Levinsky doesn't rate
more than q spectral chance
against Detroit's young bomber.
But thousands are willing to paw
important cash to see a fighter rated
rs another Sam Langford"-a killer
and stylist combined - thrown
against fighter who at least is will
ing to fight.
The public at large still is more
than willing to buy the best mouse
trap or to pay to see talent and skill
we'll above the maSs-eSpecially when
such talent is equipped with destruc-
tive force.
It must be admitted that so far
Louis hasn't been tested sufficiently
to prove his place along the top row
of the passing years.
But he has shown that he Is at
least a high-class boxer with a cool
head who can hurt anybody with
either hand-that he is much faster
than the run of the heavyweight field
and that so far he has shown more
than any young fighter in the his
tory of boxing. You can't ask much
more than that.

again is TO take his regular turn as a

has pitched only ne-third of an in
ming since he was hit on the heed by
a line drive in New York nearly two
weeks ago, is to be sent against the

urday.
In announcing Linke as starter,
Manager Bucky Harris also declared
that unless complications arise or too
many double-headers force a change.
Rookie Whitley Hayes will see most of
his action in relief roles hereafter.
The demotion Of Hayes comes as
no great surprise. In view Of the
youngsters last two failures as q
starter. Against the Red Sox recently
he failed to finish the first inning
and against the Yanks he was no bet
ter, Harris pulling him from the box
after he walked the first batter in the
second frame.
Hayes probably needs more expe-
Renee" declares Bucky. He is too
cratic right now to be a regular
starter. AS a matter of fact the best

picked up Lnke's game after Ed was

But Levinsky fights Joe Louis a

THE Kingish does not dislike the

of him in this capacity was about a
week before his fight with Art Lasky

exercise, the king stepped out to shake
a dog with the beauty and chivalry
of Chicago's Maxwell street. On the
dance floor he encountered Lasky's

Ruth's Retirement Hurt.


MARS STALLS proposal, which
A'A Adams regards as sound, calls
for his group to assume control OF
the Braves and provide the club with
new working capital. The holders
of the l4,200 shares of Braves stock,
$500 of which are controlled by
Adams, either would sell them at a
pegged price within five years or
exchange them for the management
corporations issues.
An examination of the Braves books
revealed the surprising information
that the club showed $4,000 profit
on July /, despite its failures afield.
Most of the black ink entries, how
ever. were due to Babe Ruth's draw
ing powers.
With the home-run slugger in the
lineup the Braves attracted huge
crowds. Attendance fell of to almost
nothing, however, when the aged Babe
withdrew after q dispute with Fuchs.
