By BILL CoRUM

he can't pitch for them by the
time he is 6, he won't be worth
keeping.
So my plan is to farm Rob-
ert out with the Dodgers. II
he makes good, Tom Yawkey
is almost sure to buy him for
the Red Sox. He bought Lefty
Grove, didn't he? That'll put
= Robert in Boston and with Har-
ward so close at hand, If he
doesn't get a good education it
will be his own fault. We
fathers have to look ahead these
days, eh, Steve?
But what I was going to say
about Hamas was that he not
only should be fighting in the
United States, but also fighting
frequently in the United States.
am afraid that in adopting
the NRA fight code, as drawn
up by that two-fisted scrapper,
Gen. Hugh Johnson, our pres
ent-day pugilists have misunder-
stood some Of the terms. In
stead of a five-day week, they
must think NRA provides for a
five-fight lifetime.
Hamas, I believe, has made
just one fight since he whipped
this same Max Schmeling in
Philadelphia many moons ago.
The more recent fight was
close and thrilling battle with
Art Lasky in the Garden, which
was fine as far as it went. 1t
simply didn't go far enough.
Must Fight Oftener
I mean that isn't enough
fighting for an ambitious, col.
lege trained young man. who
hopes to go somewhere in the
profound profession of Scram-
bling ears. Steve didn't play
one game of football a year for
the dear old Nittany Lions of
State College. did he?
Americans Should Rally
And he didn't get paid for
playing football, either, did he?
At least, we'll presume he didn't.
So, I say again, that of all
our current crop of heavies,
Steve should realize most keenly
the Importance of being earnest
and keeping in action. I know
that he and Harvey had some
argument with the Garden. That
was their business. 1t doesn't
matter to me whether Hamas
fights for the Fiftieth Street
emporium. or for the Ridgewood
Grove. or in Chicago, Detroit.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, or
Kankakee.
What does seem important is
that American fighters and
American managers should rally
around the business from which
they live, and strive to save it
from foundering completely be.
fore it is too late.
The fight folks, not particular
ly the amiable HamaS and the
equally amiable Uncle Charley
Harvey. seem unable to have
even a minor disagreement with
out sharpening up their crap.
shooting raZorS and attempting
to cut off their noses to spite
their faces.
