!, champion. Sentiment rather
than knowledge made some bet
on Jeffries against johnson at
Reno. The very dogs in the
street knew that Jess Willard was
to beat Jack Johnson at Havana
in April of 1915.
Just go back in your fight lore
bit. How many gave the 1.-the
and scientific James j. Corbett a
chance to beat the ferocious John
l.. Sullivan. Sullivan was a top
heavy favorite. But the next day
all hands knew that John Barley
corn had really licked him, with
Corbett's rapid fire blows con.
tr1buting cause.
Five years later Corbett fought
Bob Fitzsimmons at Carson City,
and the Cornishman, middle
weight, weighing 1854 pounds on
the day Of the fight, was a de-
cided short-ender. But he laid
Corbett mid the sweet peas.
Crowd Laughed
After Jeffries' stumbling, awful
debut in New York, he was
matched to fight the great Fitz-
simmons, and the crowd laughed
as it made Fftz favorite. But Fitz
was knocked out in II rounds at
Coney Island.
Dempsey was a short-ender at
Toledo, and Tunney was the same
at Philadelphia. Dempsey was on
the short end at Chicago, where
he actually knocked out Tunney,
but stammering Dave Barry would
not, or could not, count. Tunney
was declared victor.
And so, when you come right
down to it, upsets are the COM
mon thing in fights. For that
reason, perhaps, the public pays
ridiculous prices to spend a night
looking at nothing and comes
away muttering:
"Well, whadda va think of
that?"

work of the pitchers as pitchers.
That would be the charitable and
the decent thing to do. We
merely state that the White Sox
made II runs and 20 hits in the
game, and that Al Simmons
again hit home run with the
bases loaded. The Griffs feasted
on the efforts of three Sox hurl-
ers, getting Is runs on II hits.
Sparkling Plays
Yes sir, there were q runs on
81 hits in the afternoon, and
there were dozen sparkling
plays that cut off hits in the
making. Simmons cracked line
drives that Cecil Travis and Ossie
Bluege caught, and each should
have been a hit. Powell robbed
Haas and Hopkins. Simm on S
played the dickens with a sock
by Jack Stone.
AS the teams went into the fifth
inning, the Griffs led by a score
of 10 to 4, and we all sat back
rejoicing over the fact that Rus
sell was going to win an easy vic
tory. Before the end of the
eighth inning Russell was out Of
the ball game, Beane had pitched
a home run ball to Simmons and
the score was tied.
Fortunately there was no weak
Linke in the Griff chain Of hit
tiers, and the rotund boy was about
to win the game. And, brothers,
let it be said late rather than
never, that the victory was impor-
tant. Had the Griffs lost they
would have slipped back into sew
enth place, for the Athletics beat
Cleveland and were all packed up
and ready to move into the sixth
place apartment.
Hitting Day
The day was given over to hit
ting, and once more Buddy Myer
found tn range of the fence, crack
ing one into the right field stands
with Bluege on base in the fourth.
It may be said in passing that
just twice this year have the
Griffs hit home runs with more
than one man on base. On April
30 Powell hit a looper at Yankee
Stadium with two on, and Linke
duplicated that feat yesterday.
Our total run production
through the medium of four-base
clouts for the year is 10. Al SIM
mons, in five games, with three
home runs produced II runs.
Twice he hit with the sacks load
ed and once with two on. Luke
Sewell had a great time in the
series UP there on the lake front.
He batted .444 for the five games
before limping out Of action With

but Shores newfound form
makes him a dangerous person
age to the MontroSe poobah. In

Tom Markey exhibited his best
fore-court tennis in a couple of
seasons yesterday when he elm
mated Hugh Lynch, the Prince

fought matches Of the tournment,
4-6, 60, SO.
Once Marley struck his stride
he completely smothered Lynch's
attempts to pass him at the net,
whipping back Scorching place

which was q revelation.
Gains First Set
Lynch's forehand drive, his best
weapon, gained the first set for
him as Markey was tuning up his

was outclaSSed. Markey plays the

The grand old man Of the New
York State Athletic Commission
saw Braddock win a fight in
Madison Square Garden some
years ago, and went to his dress
ing room to shake hands with
him.
"YOu will be heavyweight
champion of the world some
day if you stick to the game"
said MuldOOn.
AS the fortunes of Braddock
rose and fell the prophecy of Null
doom was laughed off or for
gotten. But now it is recalled
by the few who heard the Old
Roman utter his words.
The probabilities are that Brad
docks reign over the heavyweight
class will be short. He holds the
title all right, but there are sew
eral heavyweights who might be
favoriteS over him if they stepped
into the ring tonight.
Louis Would Be Choice
Joe Louis, the Brown Blaster
of Detroit, is one who would be
a public choice over Braddock.
The best advice to Braddock is
to gather the golden harvest
while he may, for he will go down
in history as the man who won
the worst heavyweight champion
ship fight in the world.
What happened to Max Baer
between his fight with Primo
Camera and Thursday night can
only be conjectured. He must
have burned his vitality at a
pace that few suspected. Some
of his predictions are known,
and. therefore, nothing that
might happen to him will sur
prise those in the inner circles.
But a guy who was S to l or
better in the betting should have
fought a better fight.
Once again the axiom of the
turf is proved:
''Never let price scare you
or encourage YOU"
You'd naturally fight shy of a
5 to / shot in fight. If you
knew that S to / shot couldn't
punch you know you wouldn't bet
on him.
But with one or two memorable
exceptions. the boxing clan has
been surprised at the defeat of a

LOSES
TOUGH TILT AS
STARTER
By HOMER METZ

NEW YORK, June Is U.N.S)
Boxing Jimmy Braddock got off
the relief rolls but baseball's Leon
Chagnon failed.
Chagnon, a relief pitcher
throughout most of his major
league career, hadn't started a
ball game since July %, 1888, until
yesterday, when Bill Terry assign
ed him to start for the New York
Giants against the Cincinnati
Reds.
When the smoke of battle
cleared away it was found that
Chagnon had dropped a 2-to-O de-
ciSion to Paul Derringer. The
former Cardinal Highlander held
the Giants to four scattered sim
giles and in the pinches was vir-
tually unhittable. Chagnon yield
ed only half as many hits, but he
had the misfortune to throw a
home-run ball to Gilly Campbell
with one man on the basepaths in
the second.
Clark Wins
Another excellently pitched ball
game was the Pittsburgh Pirates
Brooklyn Dodgers clash, which the
Pirates won, 1-to-0. Bill Swift and
William Watson Clark were the
opposing pitchers. Clark, sup
posedly a has-been when the sea-
son began, held the Pirates to three
his, while Swift allowed the
Dodgers only five. Clark pitched
one of the best games of his long
career and deserved to win. A
two-bagger by Swift and single
by Jensen brought about Clark
downfall.
The st. Louis Cardinals and the
Boston Braves split a double
header. The Braves took the first
game, 5-to-4, betting three St.
Louis pitchers, Walker, Haines
and Housser rather freely, but the
Cardinals triumphed, 8 to Z in
the nightcap behind the eccentric
Dizzy Dean.
YankS Score
The New York Yanks had to go
Is innings to score a 4-to-3 victory
over the St. Louis Browns. Jimmy
Deshong and Pat Malone divided
the pitching for the Yanks, while
Sugar Cain hurled for the Browns.
Two homerS by Bill Werber,
third basement, helped the Boston
Red SoX triumph by a score of
10-to9 over the Detroit Tigers.
Lefty Grove. who relieved Henry
johnson in the eighth inning, got
credit for the Red Sox win.
The Philadelphia Athletics took
advantage of Monte Pearson's
lack of control and downed the
Cleveland Indians, S to 4.

was theirs when they frs t
started out, that aim to make a
name for themselves as soon as
possible.
Thus far the Cabmen have won
nine games. They have played
II. Listed among their victims
have been the Germantown (Md.)
st. Elizabeth, H. B. Leary, jr., Ross
Jewellers, Anacostia Eagles and
the CCC Camp, of Beltsville, mines.
NOyes Is Star
The most recent triumph was
over the last named. In this con.
test. Pitcher Johnny Noyes starred.
This lad stalked to the mound as
q relief man in the fourth inning
and held the CCC Campmen to
three hits for the remainder of
the day. The Cabmen finally won
in the tenth inning, II to 10.
Besides Noyes, Herb Carson,
right-hander, and Lefty Lenox,
Stocky southpaw, threw 'em plate
ward for the Cabmen. Charlie
Leonard handles the shoots of
these fellows, having been recently
signed. Before Leonard became a
member of the team Ed Simmons
was the catcher. Now Simmons
has been shifted to third base.
The remainder of the infield
comprises Obie OBryen, at short;
Bill Bealder, at second and Bud
Long, first Sacker. The latter is
the top batsman Of the team.
Tucker Can Hit
Tucker, Iadda and Allen form
the outfield trio. These players
can hit and field more than we'll.
The Cabmen's next appearance
on the diamond comes tomorrow
when the Leonardtown A. c. is
met at Leonardtown, Md. Mana
ger Sullivan states that more at.
tractive games are ahead, includ-
ing engagements with Fredericks-
burg at Fredericksburg, Va, and

BRADDOCK' Swim
GIVES GR|FFS
NEW HOPE
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June IS.
Down in the Missouri valley
where the heat rolls off the mud
brown Mississippi in Shimmering
waves, the Griffs hope to put
themselves in a winning stride.
"Braddock did it; why can
we?" is the question. Well, why
doncher answer the guys?
That game yesterday lacked
artistry, but it helped a lot.
AL Simmons wasn't fit company
for a grizzly bear in the third in
ming. He lined into a double play,
Bluege to Myer. Haas on second
base was just bad luck to Sim
mons, for AL lined into a two-way
killing, Travis to Myer, in the
first inning. He felt better after
his home run with the sacks
loaded in the eighth.
CIOuts Two Doubles
Haas clouted two doubles In his
first two trips to the plate, and
that comes close to being par on
any course.
Speaking of par, Nick Down
the Middle" Altrock had an 81
on the No. 4 course at Olympia
Fields yesterday. This is one of
the finest and at the same time
fairest courses in the Middle
West.
Cliff Bolton should have had
a triple on his sock over Sim
mons head in the third yester-
day. Kerr almost developed a
sore arm waving Bolton to run.
But a double was all Cliff wanted,
for he stopped at second.
Bluege had two hits and a pass
in his first three times at bat,
which is pretty. good days
work in any mans country. The
way Bluege is going right now he
merits a place on that all-star
team. But, of course, he won't
be picked.
Bottoms comedy muff of Hop
kins' foul in the fourth should
have been preserved in the moving
pictures. The ball missed Cliffs
head and landed close to his feet.
Old reliable Buddy Myer rammed
his third home run of the season
into the right field stands. When
things are to be done just send
Myer to the scene of action. He
gets results.
According to the latest official
bulletins, Muddy Ruel has been
assigned to coaching duty with
the White Sox. Muddy was one
of the most popular catchers
Washington ever had, and GER
tainly one of the best.
Russell is still frothing over the
