be and here's hoping this Is all in vain,
but there is q strong likelihood that
Washington's field captain is going to
be left out in the cold as far as this
hunk Of glory is concerned.
Rogers Hornsby, for instance,
passed up Myer on his list Of
selections Of American League
Representatives. So did Jimmy
Dykes. They pick Charley
Gehringer Of Detroit.
They pick Gehringer on his reputa-
ton Of being the best second baseman
in the circuit. Maybe he Is.
II Gehringer is the king then surely
Myer is the crown prince. Figures. not

~ ETROTT, June 22.-Do you
think that young Joe Louis
will grind up poor, big Primo
- Camera into fine hamburger
next Tuesday night? So do I.
think that Louis, Notwithstanding
the fact that this will be his first
major fight, will batter and belt the
satchel-footed Primo as mercilessly as
Max Baer did. I think Da Preem win
walk-or be carried-out Of the ring
about the size of Midget Wolgast.
But, If you ever have bet on a race
horse because he wore your lucky
number, or risen from q poker game
and circled your chair to change your
luck, or crossed the street to dodge
black cat-well, don't bet on the fight.
DoNT bet on it because this is the
- year of forgotten men" This
is the year when sports ghosts walk
and talk and win.
Silly, you say? Well, maybe. But
listen.
What was Jimmy Braddock
but q fistic ghost q few days
ago? What was he but q hob
goblin from out Of the past,
about to be slaughtered once
and for all by Max Baer. Today
Jimmy Is the heavyweight
champion Of the world.
What was Mark Koenig until last
Spring but q diamond memory, for
gotten cog In q great Yankee ma
chine? A has-been who once tried
pitching for Detroit In q desperate eff
fort to stick in the big leagues?
Today Bill Terry says Mark Is the
most valuable player in the National
League. He is so good that he plays
second base for the Giants and Hughie
Critz sits on the bench.
What was Grove but name syn
" onomous with pitching deeds Of
days gone by2 Today he has that
fast ball back and surely must be
classed with the slab leaders of the
American League.
There is. Helen Wills Moody, well
under way in comeback campaign
on the courts. There Is Jack Love-
lock, a forgotten man since 1888. He
trimmed Americas greatest milers last
week, Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bon
thron and Gene Venzke.
There IS Head Play, runner
up in the 1888 Kentucky Derby
and winner Of the Preakness.
From out Of oblivion Head Play
has become . money making
5-year-old.
There is Charley Colbert, who acct
dentally shot himself out Of base ball
in 1935-for keeps, it was said. Leo
Durocher sits on the Cardinal bench
these days as Colbert cavorts at short
stop for the world champions.
A ND there Is Walter Hagen, q name
on q golf stick until a few weeks
ago. He had a chance to win the open
going into the last three holes at Oak
mont. He didn't win, but he was q
good third.
Up from nowhere these forgotten
men are swarming, climbing to new
heights and. fortunes. Whatever you
think of Camera and his hstic PROV
ess, don't sell short this year Of forgot
ten men. know I'm not.

Irwin stopped the fight because his
eye was bleeding so badly, but Smith
had surprised the fans by taking the
Jewish battler's heaviest blows and
at times even outboxing his more
widely known opponent.
The big Montanan, who weighed
207 as compared with Lasky's 1877, had
an edge in the first round. LaSky,
finding the range, garnered the Sec
ond and third. The fourth was fairly
even, but it was during this round that
the cut over Lasky's eye was opened.
Smith reopened the cut in the fifth
and had little trouble in outboxing
Lasky, whose vision was blurred by

couldn't be persuaded to take the
business Of throwing the ball over
the plate seriously.
But since son and heir appeared
some 10 days ago 1t seems to be a
different Rowe out there on the hill,
bearing down all the time and that
has made o world Of difference to the
Tigers. He followed UP Q three-hit
ninging performance against the Red
Sox, which might have been dismissed
as natural jubilance, by limiting the
Athletics to six blows and yester-
day by shutting out the league-leading
Yankees with four puny singles to
gain a 7-to-0 triumph.

Shot ut Title Uncertain.
TT HAS been long time since heavy

weight pugiliSm had q so-called
BLACK menace" The last was Harry
wills, the Brown Panther" Of New
Orleans. Harry was well along in
years before his title claims got much
recognition, and he was finally ex-
hibited as not much Of a menace at
all by being decisively beaten in 1926
by Jack Sharkey.
If Louis justifies his rare promise
1t will be interesting to see how his
championship chances develop, par
ticularly as Madison Square Garden
is on record as opposed to giving him
shot at the title now held by James
J. Braddock- This Is not particularly
because Of racial reasons, but because
the Negro now is fighting for . rival
firm Of promoters. Louis, according
to the Garden, refused an offer to
meet Braddock In an elimination

During the week which ended with
