S.M.U. COACH
SINGS BLUES

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 81. UP
Matty Bell, coach of the Southern
Methodist Mustangs, was singing
the blues today, in sharp contrast to
his customary cheerfulness.
Responsible for his attitude was
yesterdays scrimmage, in which
half of the S. M. U. team tried to
solve Stanford plays as demon
strated by the other half. The re-
suit, said Matty, was terrible.
THE boys apparently think they
are still on that vacation we gave
them at the close of the regular
season." he remarked after watch
ing an hour of rough scrimmage.
Stanford will beat us by 40 points
in the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena

fore New Years day.

FRED CLOUTS ST.
FOR 16 CONTESTS
Forced to Action in Spite
. of Slump, He Justifies
Managers Faith.
BY FRANCIS e. STAN,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK. June 26-"Nobody
can be that bad and play ball in the
big leagues" quoth Bucky Harris a
couple of weeks ago as the Nationals
sped Westward. "Ill shame the big
guy into hitting by playing him"
The big guy" he was talking about
was Fred Schultz. Actually, he was
not batting his weight at the time.
Unquestionably he was the least valu-
able ball player of any note on the
Washington club.
Today the Griffs were back in the
East and Schultz, "shamed" or other
wise, once again holds rank as one of
the Nationals most valuable per-
formers.
Overshadowed by the consistently
brilliant performances of Capt. Buddy
Meyer and the sensational spurts of
Johnny Stone, the big outfielder new
ertheless has recaptured place high
in the esteem of Boss Bucky during
the Western swing just ended.
Perhaps it was Harris confidence
In him that snapped Schultz out of
one of the worst slumps of his major
league career. Even when Fred was
standing at the plate with his bat
frozen on his shoulder Bucky stead
fastly sent him back into the game
against southpaw pitching. He main
tanned faith in the gardener whose
work in 1888 was a big factor in the
winning of the American League PEN

Joe Is All Business.
PRIMO in This fight had just what he
had a year ago against Baer-
courage, a great deal of beef, and no
business in the ring. I think Louis
gave him a worse licking than Baer
did. There were only three knock
downs this time as opposed to IL
tumbles last year. But sitter his third
encounter with the Louis duke, Primo
just couldn't continue. He clung to
the hemoen border of the ring like q
mussel and looked pleadingly at Ref
cree Arthur Donovan.
One point on which Louis attack
ranked above Baer's was its stubborn,
catlike consistency. Joe didn't pause
to hitch up his trunks or lamp the
blond in seat SD. He kept after
Primo every minute.
At the end of the main bout, which
was an artistic and financial success,
Brother Louis announced that the big
leagues were softer than the minors.
"I'll fight anybody. because can't
help being champion ncw," said JOS
eph. The voters were with him.
