The shift is planned to shake
LeemanS loose on end runs ana
as q pass receiver much more ire
quently than he was able to DO
last season.
Last season, you remember,
Tuffy was the only kicker, the
only passer, and the only ball
carrier who could gain ground for
us. Opposing scouts learned this
early in the campaign and before
three games we're played Leemans
was a marked man.
UncOverS PaSSer
Reinhart, however, has recently
uncovered a great passer and
running back in joey kaufman,
the New York boy, whose play
as a freshman last year was OF
the first water. joey is tough as
a mule, shifty, and brimming
with confidence. His passing abil'
ity may mean that We can turn
Tuffy into a pass receiver for the
first time in his career here.
The pair can alternate at run
ming and passing. taking some of
the burden from Leeman's shoul,
ders, With the added impetus OF
the new plays devised by Rein
hart, G. w. should step out often
sively before long. :,

he's like a kid about his having
waived them out Of his life over
a period of nearly four weeks.
More sparring partners are soon
to arrive because Max has not
been easy on the men he has IN
front of him each day, especially
Tony Cancella who actually fights
Max every working day. Monday
is the only let up, though Labor
Day brought them no respite. Be.
cause of the tremendous influx OF
camp visitors Monday. the regular
rest day was only sparring part
ner's dream and it didn't come un'
til yesterday.
Break for Sparmates
It is the plan now to have
enough Sparring partners in the
chuckline to have them work in
every-other-day relays. In this
way, they will get an opportunity
to lick their wounds while other
haplesS fellows will be in there
taking the bumps.
Lou Fink dropped around to
watch Baer work. He doeSn t
think that Max has given himself
time enough to prepare for Louis
"Three months would have
been better, and he should have
had two or three fights under
his belt besides. Mister Louis is
not a set-up, puShOver or a
weakling. He goes to town when
he hits and this fellow Baer
is easy to tag. / don't think he
will whip Louis. I'm pretty sure
that Louis will knock him out"
said the man who trained Gene
Tunney in this same spot 80
long ago that it has become an
age.
The Baer hands stand up in
splendid fashion under the hard
est kind of usage. Besides the
wood-chopping, the log-Splitting
and the croSS-cut saving, Max
doesn't ease them UP on the husky
sparring partners or the heavy
bag.

BY HYPE IGOE

SPECULATOR, N. Y, Sept. 6.
Max Baer's popperimrlaw thinks
that well of him that he has
wagered $500 that he smacks Joe
Louis out of the heavyweight pic
ture on the night of September
"a. He wants to press his bet
what's more.
Mrs. Mary Ellen Sullivan Baer
informed me this morning that
her dad, who is an Ithacan tile
and brick contractor, had plunked
down half a grand on her hand
some husbands chances, and that
he had written her a letter ask
ing for advice as to adding to his
wager. Of course, Mrs. Baer be-
lieves that Max will win and her
father will be told to bet till the
COWS come home now that he IS
in a betting mood.
Whether or not Papa Jake Baer
will take flyer on his sons aoll'
ity to stamp out the Brown
Bomber is his own secret. He
wouldn't give Max the Satisfac-
ton of knowing that he had that
confidence in his boy. The dads
cue is to everlastingly goad Max
into greater effort in this business
of tuning up for Louis.
How'd 1 do today POp?"
asked Max after one Of his best
workouts to date.
ooh, $780," drawled the
worlds champion steer-Skinner.
"I should have known better
than to look to you for q COM
pliment," said Max somewhat
testify.
GRINS END SPAT
Then before there were any
further words about it, both
grinned.
They like Papa Jake around
the camp because he won't put in
with any "yessing" of Max. The
big fellow has got to show his
dad the real stuff and, when it
is on display, the old man &C
ceptS it as something to have
been expected without fanfare of
any sort. Buddy is the same way
about his brotherly criticism.
They believe in the gaff-the

Kirk Miller D4UUCESs
Now that Goldie is only
matchmaking for Joe Turner
and Turner has the clutch on
all the Monday night fight
dates, the commission slips
the American Legion the
merry go-by and tells them
they were nice boys in 1917
1S, but can't have any Mon
day night fight dates.
But it seems our admins
tration doesn't care much
about former soldiers any
way. Indeed, the war Is
over. C'est la guerre!
How three gentlemen who
have the reputation for being
fairly level headed can sit as q
board and deal out the fight
date pluIns to a lone combina-
tion, is something my childish
sense Of living and letting live
just simply can't comprehend.
Doesn't Add Up
And there's another matter
I can't quite reconcile myself
to, unless I have been misled
by my friend, Joe Turner, who
has been constantly lamenting
the fact that he couldn't make
any money in the fight buSi-
ness and that If his wrestling
profits didn't more than make
up for his fight losses, he
couldn't continue in the boxing
business.
Yet, here we find him, fight
ing for, and receiving all the
Monday night fight assign
ments. Why? So he can stay
in the fight business and con-
tinue to lose money so that
he will have to make that much
more in the wrestling business
to continue in boxing. It seems

red ink.
Why, only last Friday morn
ing, about 10:15 in the Annap-
oils Hotel athletic office of Joe
Turner, his man Friday, George
King, in the presence of two
witnesses, was observing that he
was willing to make a bet that
Joe Turner was the only man
in the fight business who stayed
in it and consistently lost
money!

The Sandlot baseball season
makes another rapid stride to-
wards activity this weekend with
The Washington times., 1935-05-02

May 2.-The GrlffS' roll into the
West this afternoon on their in
vasion of the HinterlandS this
season. They are in fourth place,
half a game behind the Yankees
and despite the hazards Of these
first two weeks of the season are
above the 500 notch. Their mar
gin is not as wide as a barn door
but it will do until something
better comes along.
Moving day, as observed by the
Griffs yesterday, was not COM
plete nor was it a success. Leon
Petit was drilled off the mound
in seven innings, he allowed seven
hits good for six runs, one error
being mixed up in the proceed
ings. Monte Weaver replaced
Petit and received credit for the
victory.
Powell Hitting
jake Powell was not benched,
and since Fred Schultz tore loose
the charley horse in his leg,
Powell will go right on playing
centerfield. This may be all right
too, for the very good reason that
Powell has started to hit. Against
the Yankees Jake clicked for a
cool .585 and socked home run
into the left field stands.
He turned in a couple Of catches
in addition to some of his other
didoes. Harris will be willing to
forgive few bad throws to bases
if Powell will continue to wallop
out five hits every 13 times he
comes to bat.
The Griffs just played out a
forlorn hope yesterday and won.
They we're beaten coming into the
eighth inning. In the ninth with
one out and two on bases the
Yankees called on Gomez. Stone
flied out and the game seemed
over. But Bolton and Powell both
hit, the last named driving in the
winning run.
He was a hero. Dowggawn it!
Y'can't bench a hero, cannyer?
Only Lazzeri was just a pain in
the neck to the Griff pitchers
All the "Walloping Wop" did in
the three games was hit 1868 and
drive in four runs. Out of his
total of four safeties, three were
for extra bases. A homer, triple
and double was the count.
Tony Delivers
Tony was mild enough in the
opening game, getting a single tc
right in three times at bat. He
neither scored nor did he drive ir
any runs. In the second game
however, it was a little different
Tony cracked triple and a homer
and drove in two runs. His double
in the sixth yesterday drove il
two more runs.
Dickey was no bargain, for thai
matter. He drove in four runs or
Tuesday and another one yester
day. The dynamite in thai
Yankee team may not be as dry
as it was when Ruth was on the
club, but when it detonate'
splinters fly far and wide. Still
it wasn't enough yesterday.
EN- ROUTE TO CHICAGO
May Bill Dickey had a mar
row escape from serious injury If
the first inning. With the bases
loaded Petit grazed his skull with
fast one. Rolfe walked home or
the incident.
The gang in Ruthville had &
lot of fun telling George SelkirE
to send his hits nearer to the fou
lines. George went through the
motions in fine style and thu
crowd gave him a big hand.
Powell and Bolton bunchec
singles in the second, but two
we're out and Larry was easy on 6

The Heurich Brewers, cham
pionS of the city as far as week
day leagues are concerned, meet
the Gichner's Iron Works nine
in the Industrial opener at 5
p. M, while S. Kanns Sons faces

Both circuits enjoyed success
full campaigns in 1884. They
vision even more success this
year in that additional teams are
entered, new players are on the
rosters of the teams and new
interest in sandlot baseball rules.
Ceremonies Rule
The usual first-game cere-
monies will take place for both
leagues. The complete programs
haven't been arranged yet, but
supporters can be assured they
will be entertained with plenty of
the usual pomp in addition to the
ball games.
One of the interesting side.
lights of the Industrial opener is
the seriousness with which the
Gichner nine has drilled for one
of those flying startS. The team
firmly believes it will dethrone
the Brewers from their cham
pionShip position-all of which
promises a red-hot race from the
start. Other teams that will at
tempt to squelch the Brewers are
the Washington Coalmen, the
Southwest Market tossers, Cor.
don's Safemen and the Sanitary
Grocers.
NRA diamonders play again
this week. They get into action

Last Saturday, the Blue Eagle

by rifling a single to the outfield

margin. Earl Mattingly or Lefty
