best Of shape, and I've found
out some of his little tricks and
he's found out some of mine.
He handles the ball swiftly and
surely, and 1 like the way he
pivOts on ball.
Despite the rain of the past
week, rain that cut down practice
badly, we have had a good oppor-
tunity to watch Larry. There are
lot of thing you're going to like
about him and his rapid fire style
of playing ball.
Fast Charger
Larry is exceptionally fast in
getting the jump on a ball, and
he takes charge Of every hit. If
the ball is a slow roller you'll see
him go tearing in to meet it..
There will be none of that agoniz-
ing waiting and putting one knee
on the ground. He will not lose
double plays because of that fault
which was singular to Cronin.
In fact, Cronin was the only
major league short stop this
writer ever saw who violated all
the tenets of playing his position
by kneeling and waiting for the
ball to come to him.
Larry is fast in taking a ball
and touching second to throw
swiftly to first for a double play,
and he's a streak of light in tag
ging runners. Sure he's going to
make errors. Hans Wagner made
errors, and so did Cotton Turner.
But they were fair country short
stops.
Larry has an arm that permits
him to rove far to his right and
make those throws that delight
crowds. You're going to like him
and his genial personality before
the season is many weeks older.
He already likes Washington and
is ready to do everything he can
for the team.

is to say that Ossie Bluege fell

O'Mahoney's defensive tac-
tics are as unique as his famous

as difficult to lay a hand upon
as a creased pig. He bobs and
weaves and side-steps the while
he looks for an opening. Thus
he tires his antagonist to the
point of evaporation if not eX-
haustion, making him a rather
limp spectacle when he once
gets on the far end of the
"whip.'

naturally limited, as he is on

anderthal man, jumped through
the ropes in the ninth round to
save his game, but helpless bat
tier from further punishment at
the hands of the Italian trog-
Iodyte, Primo Carnera.
Seven long years gone to waste.
1t was in 1923 that Harry, an old
time fighter himself, discovered
the gigantic son of the barber at
the U. S. Military Academy, be-
gan the task of looping a hundred
pounds off Rays $50 and of teach
ing him the science of boxing.
They were long lean years and
an occasional fight did little to put
food in the larder. But Harry
persevered and never was a
youngster so well instructed in
the art of ring warfare as was
Ray, the Imp. Disappointment
followed disappointment until the
golden opportunity arrived last
night.
On Road to Title.
A Knockout would put Ray on
the road to the heavyweight title
and a million dollars. For four
of the first five rounds it ap-
peared that Lenny's dream was to
come true. Through that stretch
he made a sucker of the pituitary
montrosity who was his opponent.
He staggered Primo with beau
tiful rights to the jaw; he made
Primo grunt with straight rights
and an occasional left hook to the
midriff or under the heart.
He seemed on his way to victory
and fame and fortune were just
around the corner. Then, in the
fourth came the break, the turn
ing point of the fight. Primo sent
one downstairs and Ray wilted.
A near-capacity crowd of 16,695
booed Primo heartily, and Referee
Jack Dempsey warned him and
indicated he had taken the round
away from him. But the damage
had been done, and from then on
Ray began to fade.
Through the seventh and eighth
Primo punched Ray from pillar to
post. He hammered him with
clublike rights around the head
and body, but he couldn't even
put down his helpless, defenseless
rival. and the mob ieered,
It was apparent as he came out
for the eighth that Ray was too
tired and spent even to raise his
hands, and after 38 seconds, with
Primo clumsily throwing lefts and
rights, Lenny jumped through the
ropes and stopped the slaughter.
PunchIesS Bozo
Today Primo has been exposed
if any expose was needed, as
a punchless big bozo with an
amazing capacity to take punish
ment around the body but
fragile jaw that time and again
in the early rounds threatened
to betray him.
It was announced that Primo
will meet the winner of the Brad
dock-Lasky fight and nothing
seems more certain that he
will not be the one to get
shot at Max Baer's title.
After the fight, Lenny was raw
