and these two marks may be reached
before the present generation passes
on into middle athletic age.
Just what the ultimate limit
Il no one knows. I've talked re-
Gently with several veteran track
coaches and they won't even
guess.
Some day there will be a 4-minute
mile and a 9-second 100-yard dash, a
7-foot high jump. When? 1t probably
will be too late for most of US to care
about.
The Long Shot.
Nov that have observed the train
L y ing actions and the general looks
of Jim Braddock and Max Baer, the
query pops up as to how they look
along comparative lines.
The answer is simple enough
Braddock must ride another miracle
before he takes over the title.
He rode one miracle when he got
up from the floor against Corn Griffin
to scramble his way into the chal-
lenger's seat less than year later.
He must ride the bucking
mount Of another miracle TO
win from Baer.
The Livermore larruper has all the
advantage in youth. size. strength.
punching power. reach and general
durability. He isn't any gamer than
Braddock, but he can punch harder
with both hands and take a harder
punch without going down.
Braddock's physical change in the
last year, with the right food under
his belt, has been remarkable. He
looks better today than I have ever
seen him look before. but you can
stretch your imagination to the break
ing point and still not see him win
ming from Baer
On Braddock's side he has every
thing to gain and little to lose and he
will shoot all the works on a long
shot.
But this doesn't lessen the
odds against him. which should
be heavier than any heavy
weight challenger has ever
faced.
Braddock has put on a big job In
coming this far up. but there Is al
ways q limit.
II he can hurdle this last barrier
1t will be the most remarkable heavy
weight achievement in the history Of
the ring.

THINKS WINNING
TALENT ON HAND
Doesn't Even Feel Pitching
Staff Observation-Disclosures
Trade Is Brewing.
BY FRANCIS z. STAN.
THE Nationals, sans outside help,


In many more words that
only thinly veiled his irritation.
President Clark Griffith was intima-
ting an ultimatum to this effect today
as the groggy Griffs opened a three
game series with the Red Sox.
1T isn't a sixth-place ball club
insisted Griffith, "and it hasn't any
business losing seven games in row.
1 honestly think the team, as 1t now
stands. is potentially winning one.
We shouldn't need new pitchers nor
new catcherS to win.
THE Washington club should win
even with Buck Newsom out. And II
it doesn't start soon I certainly should
consider tearing it apart
Griff doesn't agree with many critics
that his hurlhlg staff is inadequate
nor that his catching staff is COM
posed of a trio of minor leaguers. His
statement was partially in answer
For more than an hour yesterday he
was closeted with son-in-law Joe
Cronin, pilot of the Red Sox. but Griff
denied trade or sale was brewing.
He also denied he felt minor league
pitcher must be picked up to AID MS
wobbling curvng corps.
Entire Team Has Lost Fight.
"nF COURSE we are not going 10

or anywhere else" Griffith declared.

1t is just one man. whether he be a
pitcher. catcher, outfielder or inf1elder.
that is needed. The team just seems
to have lost its fight temporarily.
Il didn't tear it down after last
season. I believed the club could
come back and forget the terrible
licking it took. But it didn't 1t seems.
Walter Stewart never seemed TO get
over it Monte Weaver didn't. either.
Bob Burke seems to be ailing from
the same thing. OF our 1884 pitchers
only Earl Whitehill seems to be
fighting.
The pitchers did take beating
last year" Griff admitted. They
worked their heads off, but the team
was so crippled and weak behind
them that they didn't get the runs.
This season the club behind them is
stronger. much stronger. But now
the pitchers are not delivering and
their failures are affecting the entire
team.

The old Bambino was back in the

many dreams-with such pride and
hope-only a few weeks ago.
As we got together to talk things
over there came again the flash OF
the young fellow I travelled north with

on his way to more headlines than

Helped Fuchs, Saws Babe.

1.-THE main thing in a nutshell is
this. Judge Fuchs got all he
could out of me. He wanted to get
rid of me. because he could no longer
pay my salary-s25,000 for three
years. But he didn't know how he
could go about it. Instead of coming
to me and asking me to retire. which
would have done. he starts passing
stories around, trying to force me tn
quit.
Il had my first jam with Fuchs, -

had hot argument and he called It
off. I guess that's what being vice
president meant
Before we started West on the

with me to stay. Fuchs said. If yo'i

he wished me all the luck in the

to be"
There's only one thing the Babe
would like now from the Braves.

said. II guess that's the last one. VI

Charged With wrecking Braves.

II FRANKLY stated that certain
actions of Ruth, while with the
ball club, which I would absolutely
forbid with any other member of the
club, were responsible for the lack of
discipline, and that unless Judge Fuchs
could convince Babe Ruth to retire, I
was unable to get any real discipline
or proper spirit as manifested by the
club prior to the acquisition of Ruth
from the Yankees this Spring"
That set the Babe roaring afresh.
There's no basis for that at ALL" he
shouted. How could he say a thing
like that? Anyway, I'm all washed
up with the outfit and I'm not going to
carry on any more arguments"
When the Babe got home yesterday,
in anything but the triumph that used
to greet him, newspaper men awaited
him as of old.
I'm glad you're here" he said. I'm
going to tell YOU about this thing
right from the bottom. Then I'm not
going to discuss it again. It's bad

A N ASSOCIATED PRESS poll of the

none have anything but an academic

tended vacation. and for all the golf
he's wanted to play in the Summer
time all these years.
He went out with the final blast of
McKechnie. whom he had taken great
pains to defend, ringing in his ears.
Since the Babe announced Sunday he
was through, during the hot words
that whipped back and forth be-

THE SPORTZICHT
Martin Again Putting Pepper in Cards;
Miracle Needed to Get BraddOck Title.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
The Pepper Returns.

The Pepper Returns.
TH1s new base ball season. has
been replete with so many
features that many must be
overlooked.
1t is for this reason that We direct
YOUR attention 70 one John Leonard
Pepper Martin, the wild horse Of the
Usage.
A few years back the same Pepper
Martin ran away with an entire world
series against the Athletics steal
ing the complete show.
After this, accidents and injuries
and one thing and another set him
back and the headlines knew him
no more.
Last season he batted only .2SS.
But 1885 is = different story.
The dashing Pepper came to the
first OF June with batting mark OF
$50, only few notches back of Arky
Vaughan of the Pirates. with a bid
in hand for the batting leadership.
1t is pretty generally accepted that
the Cardinals will be the team that
Bill Terry's Giants must beat, and
SO far the terror of the temple. who
now lives in Oklahoma City. is one
of the main factors in the Cardinal
threat.
A short while pack happened to
mention Johnny Martins name to
Frank Frisch and Dizzy Dean.
Both had the same opinion to
offer-"the best hustler and the
hardest worker on any ball club
in any league"
This black haired, blue-eyed Dutch
Irishman, with the forearms of q dock
worker, isn't easy to interview. His
three main pastimes are base ball,
hunting and fishing, and beyond that
he isn't deeply interested. At the age
of 81 he Is one of the great ball players

Great Shock TO Ruth.
LEW have ridden the headlines for
L 81 years. No other athlete has
ever approached the worldwide &C.
claim and fame Of Ruth. So few can
appreciate the shock that suddenly
comes when all dreams and all illu-
sions suddenly blow up-when one
suddenly feels tired and old and out
of date. bewildered and trifie dazed,
wondering what 1t Is all about.
That is the Babe Of June. 1885. The
proper readjustment will come. when.
as Keats says, Time, that ancient
nurse, rocks me to patience"
Those who rise highest fall the
farthest. but with the right stuff they
come back. And the Babe has the
right stuff. given time to find his way
out and up again. He has too much
on the ball to spend any length Of
time among the discards.
It'll all work out. Babe" I sug-

I'm waiting how about that golf

the Bambino the benefit of the doubt
(he was the last to realize he was

not have left what little base ball

1t isn't Ruth's exodus from base
ball that alone sponsors the thought.
Strangely. his passing from the Braves
is not even the chief reason. Far
younger stars than Ruth who barn
stormed the Orient last Winter in

concerning Winter exhibition ball.
