Walker Washed Up, But Won't Admit 1t;
Sure Club Bouts Won't Make Him Punchy.
BY JOHN LARDNER-

"a YEW YORK, August 5.-Mickey
N Walker is fat and "a and
1 other night he tried to come
back against a shuffiing Swede named
John Anderson. The Swede jolted
Mickey in the stomach in the first
round, and from then on little Mike
had nothing but gameneSs to work
with. He took a bad beating.
The fight isn't worth discussing, but
Mickey Walker is. He's been called
the greatest fighter. next to Dempsey,
of the last decade. He was the great
est middleweight since Ketchel and
the greatest welterweight since-well,
name your own name.
When a fighter like Mickey
comes to the end of his career
he deserves something more
than a biackout.
Mike wasRtalking about life in gen.
eral before this fight with Anderson.
He admitted he was through with class
A pugilism. But he thought he had a
couple more fights in his system and
he wanted the cash. He has very few
assets now besides his wide, handsome
house in New Jersey and his dogs and
stable.
Didn't Expect to Be Whirlwind.
WHAT if you lose this fight,
w Mickey?"
Mickey rubbed his chest and rumi-
mated
We'll" he said, It'll look like I'm
out for good. I don't expect to be no
whirlwind in this fight, after 10 months
of loafng, but got to make fair
show anyway to satisfy myself and
the boys that are figuring to give me
fights"
will you quit if you drop this one?"
"Why, don't see why I should
lose it." Mickey said. I'm in good
shape" He clapped his diaphragm.
I'm pretty hard, in there.
But win or lose, I figure to
60 on fighting for while more.
1t can't do no harm. amt
gonna get punchy in these short
club fights"
This was before Mickey took that
beating from the shuff1ing Swede. It
was a wicked beating. But fighters are
funny, and money is tight, and
Mickey may go right on taking pun
ishment. After each licking he will
tell the boys that there's no danger
of him getting punchy, because he
knows how to take care Of himself
in that ring. 1t will be a grim but
logical finish for Mickey's career.
For Mickey is the prize fighter Of
the story books-colorful, happy-go-
lucky, reckless, improvident-making
big dough and blowing it-a party guy
who loved crowds and laughter-who
bought polo ponies and rainbow
wardrobe-who loved to fight-who
fought them big and small-whose
scrapes got in the newspapers-who
sometimes trained on booze - who
came up out of nowhere and is slip
ping back to nowhere now.

He was knocked down for the count

1919, when Mickey was just starting
and Paul Pirrone did it 10 months

been Mickey's last 1t spelled his

any moral from his career until he

nearly every ball club was big, happy

The Cubs have come a long way in

league, landing in second place and
giving the Giants plenty to worry

Walter Prai1eS Successor.
EOUR days ago johnson celebrated
the tWenty-eighth anniversary OF
his sta in big league base ball. His
entire career as a professional player
was with the Washington Senators.
He played his last game in 1927. then
managed the Newark, N. j.. Interna-
tional League team.
For four years Johnson managed
the Senators. On June 10, 1888, he
took the helm of the Cleveland team
and that year the Indians finished in
fourth place. Last year they wound
up third in the race.
Injuries and sickness have been
great -7dicap this year." johnson
said, but the boys have made a great
fight under adverse conditions, and
this young club some day will make
a great team.
Steve O'Neill, my successor, has

with ma y of the players on the pres
ent team will be of great help to him
in his undertaking.

She has thrown base ball 3l5 feet,
which is up to the standard of the

Kneecap Not Healed.

r MISTAKEN, however, is Harris
~ opinion that Newson is all the
hurler he is cracked up to be except,
possibly, by Bashful Buck himself.
Not only his arm is short of being
okay yet," declares Harris, but his
knee hasn't completely healed. You'd
never know it on the field but that
kneecap still is swollen and sore and
weak. He can't walk Up the dugout
steps naturally, yet. Instead of lift
ing up his left leg, he drags it around.
Having a swollen left knee makes a
difference, too, because that's the leg
that must bear the weight of a right
handed pitcher when he delivers the
ball"
The pre-game road" work, Harris
explained. is designed to help
strengthen the knee. That, and plenty
of starting and relief work, soon will
put NewSom in shape to start paying
bigger dividends on Grifith'S $4,000

potatoes for Blushing Buck
The answer was provided indirectly
today, not by Griffith, but by Man
ager Bucky Harris. after Newsom was
ordered to see more of ball parks by
running around 'em before games.
THE fellow isn't in shape yet" de-
clared Harris. He is in the middle of
training camp and by that I mean
Buck is just starting all over again to
get in condition. When a pitcher
breaks kneecap and is out more than
five weeks he's got to start anew and
Newsom isn't any different from any
other pitcher in this respect"
Recent Poor Efforts Discounted.
NEWSOM'S hopes of winning 20
games-an eXtravagant predic-
ton, in the first place, considering his
six defeats and no wins with the
Browns prior to joining the GriffS-
definitely were blasted when Earl
Averill broke his kneecap on May %.
Even Bashful Buck himself ad-
mitted then that winning 20 games
was a prohibitive task so he modeStly
cut his figure to IS victories. Even
that goal, to put it mildly. is prohibi-
tive now. He needs 10 more triumphs
and there are only Sc games to be
played by the Griffs. Thus, if he takes
his regular turn every four days, Buck
will hurl approximately IA more tits
and can lose no more than four.
To judge by his work since rejoin-
ing the club on July 7, Buck will not

out good deal of his poorer perform
anceS since his injury.

Then he had Cleveland and Me-
Harder beaten, apparently, until
Averills line drive struck his knee in
the third inning Even then Buck
was ahead, to 2, going into the
eighth, when he weakened from pain
and lost a 5-4 decision.
Five weeks and one day later Buck
was on the slab facing the Yanks, los
ing an 11-to-1 decision which, OF
course, must be thrown out. He was
as Harris claims even now, starting
all over again. His third defeat came
while serving in a relief role. When
Buddy Myer kicked a grounder, the
Tigers whipped Buck, Z to 6.
