THE SPORTZIGHT
Unworried Louis Yawns at Fight Talk.
Hasn't Weakness, Blackburn Declares.
BY GRANTLAND RICE

That's right" Jack answered.
Speed. If you haven't got speed, you
haven't much else you can use. Not
against a good man. I'd come pretty
close to saying that speed was about
the best thing Joe has. mean speed
Of body and speed of hands. He may
look slow on his feet shuf1lin' in, but
he amt. Maybe quickness is better
word. He has cat quickness. No waste
ehort-no waste motion-and sudden
ly something happens. But Joe's in
no hurry about 1t. He takes his time.
But don't give him an opening"
How about sneak punch?"
Sure that can happen. But that's
up to Joe. He's got two hands, same
as the other fellow. And he's mighty
quick on that trick stuff"
Then, as far as you can see, he has
no weakness?" I suggested.
"If he has," Blackburn said,
"then he's fooled me. He's held
out on his trainer.
And been watching him close
just to find some weakness before it
might be too late. I've seen most of
the good ones 60 by. Joes the top

sleepy, apparently uninterested, who,
in the last II months, has come from
nowhere to "a consecutive victories
and $4,000 cash, with another $780,
600 waiting around next weeks corner.
And all Louis wanted to talk about
was base ball. Mention that, and a

he answered, after the manner
Of one half sitting a yawn.
IAN I know Is I'm ready now.
And Max won't have to look

As Louis moves around or walks
away, you notice his effortless loose
ness, which apparently never tightens
up until striking time is at hand.
You can almost hear the orchestra
playing Lazy Bones" as he yawns
again and heads away for another
nap-his sleeping count ranging
around - hours day, or night.
II Louis has the slightest worry
about next Tuesdays outcome. he can
take his place as one of the worlds
greatest actors. Neither he nor
Blackburn thinks there is the slight

happen-the same being Max Baer

A'A in the nightcap of yesterdays
victorious double-header against the
White Sox wrought no miracle, but
1t was highly pleasing to Harris.
Johnny handled his four chances in
perfect fashion and slugged double
in three trips to the plate.
In fact, with farmhands scattered
all over the field, the Nationals re-
sembled the Chattanooga club, but
they played in big-league style to
gain an even break in the Chicago
series by 5-to-4 and 3-to-1 victories.
The big hero of the opener, how
ever, was Buck Newsom, who not
only pitched but batted the Griffs
to victory. Overcoming a 80 deficit,
Washington held 4-to-3 lead going
into the ninth, when the Sox showed
across the tying run. The Nationals
promptly came back in their half
of the ninth, however, when Ossie
Bluege doubled with one down and
Newsom singled the veteran across to
break up the game.
In the nightcap Eddie Linke,
former Chattanooga, pitched one of
his better games to beat Vernon Ken
needy and Johnny Salveson. Again
the Sox held a lead, l to o, in the
second, but the Griffs overcame the
margin in the fourth and added q
final run in the sixth. Buddy Lewis,
making his debut at third base, sin
gled across Johnny Stone for one of
the runs.

TINE pennant-hungry Cubs have
gobpled up another record on
their way toward the National
League title. just about wreck
ing the hopes Of the Giants.
The Cubs routed the Giants, is to 3,
yesterday for their fifteenth straight
triumph, holding their 21s-game
margin over the second-place Cardinals
and putting the Giants So games to
the rear.
The victory gave them not only the
longest winning streak In either circuit
this season but the longest In the
National League since Brooklyn hit
the 15-mark in 1924.
Charley Grimm's clouting crew
locked good enough to go on almost
Indefinitely without a loss. Trailing

inning they battered Clydell Castle

runs in the one frame and sewed I'D

Charley Root, who pitched steadily
all the way, whitfield three Giants In
the fifth. In the next frame the Cubs
made three straight errors to load the
bases, then retired the side without a
run.

who may be the biggest surprise OF
all
II the boys name doesn't mean
anything right of. it isn't surprising.
OF all the Washington rockies, Mi
halle was the least touted.
Bobby Estallella has color, bowed
legs and % home runs in the minors.
Buddy Lewis, at 1s, has possibilities
of eventually becoming great player.
Unblushing diamond veterans have
tagged Red Marion the best defensive
outfielder to come up since Speaker.
Mihalic was "just good ball player"
from the Southern Association.
But Johnny, most polished OF all
the recruits, probably stands the best
chance Of wearing National uniform
next season.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-09-19

CHANGING plans overnight, Harris
installed Mihalic on shortstop yes
terday. though he had never per-
formed at that post, and today Buckv
declared that Johnny will pe at that
position for the rest Of the season,
which amounts to 10 more games.
The move is not expected to be
preview of Washington'S regular short
stop next year, although such devel-
opment is not impossible. Specializing,
one senses the reason for the expert
ment as step toward discovering the
capabilities of the stocky Slav in an
other position besides second base.
Unlike Lewis, Marion, Dee Miles and
other recruits, Mihalic reports to the
Griffs with two strikes on him as far
as winning a regular post Is con-
cerned. He is second baseman and
one of the best in the Southern Asso-
citation. Harris believes he could do
a major league job at second. but, I'M
fortunately for Mihalic, a pretty good
man already is playing the keystone
sack for the Griffs-Buddy Myer.
Resembles Right Man Anyway.
T Unless Myer is one of the several
Nationals to be traded this Win
ter-and such deal would come as
tremendous surprise-Mihalic seems
doomed for a utility role. But even
that would be step upward.
Strangely enough, Mlhalic bears
strong resemblance at a distance to
Myer, the man who seemingly will
keep him off second base in the big
show. He Is about the same height
and weight of Buddy and the SINH
larity never is more pronounced than
when he is batting. Mihalic, unlike
Myer, is a right-handed batter. but
he has the crouch of Buddy and a
similar swing.
Mihalic has been knocking around
in pro base ball for quite spell,
considering that he will not be %
years old until next November. Three
seasons ago he led the Central League
second basemen. Then he went to
Chattanooga to become one of the
best infielders in the Southern Asso-
citation. He was a 800 batter this
season,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-09-19

He probably will be heard from
a-plenty in the next few weeks. so the
correct spelling Of the Cubs kid first
baseman is Phil Cavarretta. Two RS
and two is.

N.Y.V|CEPROBER
SET To SWING
BIC STICK

NEW YORK, July GN.s).
It's too bad Teddy Roosevelt isn't
alive; too bad for Teddy's sake,
because there's a man in our
midst who is going to swing the
big Stick" in a manner that
would have delighted the late
Presidents heart.
Thomas E. Dewey, former United
States Attorney, is going to swing
the big stick and, though he may
not end vice and racketeering and
organized crime, he undoubtedly
will put a crimp in them, and some
of the social parasites who live by
them in Jail.
Mr.. Dewey, who has been APP
pointed special prosecutor by Dis
trict Attorney William C. Dodge
at the insiStence of Governor
Lehman, is that kind of man;
when he starts a drive against
crime, somebody goes to prison.
His record so far is full of big
somebodies, not little fellows, who
went to prison and of whose guilt
there wasn't any doubt by the time
he sent them there.
Goes II Training"
At the moment, Mr. Dewey is in
training for his new job, that will
begin about July 20 and which, he
says, is going to be "a 24-hour-a-
day job"
He started training by working
nearly "a hours day in dispos
ing Of affairs in his private law
practice and in surrounding him
self with about 20 lawyers who
will help him dig into the cess
pool of organized crime, vice and
rackets.
Mr.. Dewey isn't a fireworks
prosecutor. That is, he doesn't
go up in a blaze of light and
glory and come down as an ex-
ploded rocket. They are saying
in this town that he inherited
the mantle of Samuel Seabury,
but his methods will be far diff
counsel to the HolStadter Com
counsel to the Hofstadter COM
mittee.
This is necessitated by the diff
ference in the Investigations. Mr..
Seabury had merely to present
a prima facie case of inefficiency
and corruption in public office,
but Mr.. Dewey must develop
cases that will stand the test of
cross-examination before juries.
For that reason there will be
20 public hearings in the Dewey
investigation. Consequently there
won't be so much wireworks.
But it is a reasonable assumption
that when he gets through pre-
Senting his cases to grand juries
that the ensuing noise will make
the roar of cannon sound thin in
comparison.
Unusual Record
The record of this man, son of
a weekly newspaper publisher,
who was born at OwoSso, Mich,
il 1902, and who edited the paper
as a youth, is proof positive that
he's going to swing the big stick
and that criminal skulls are going
to be cracked.
He hadn't been out of the Uni
versity of Michigan, where he was
leader of the glee club and tele-
graph editor of the student paper,
eight years before he convicted
Waxey Gordon for income tax
eyasions and indicted Dutch
Schultz, two of New York's hood
lums heretofore immune from the
laws processes.
The list of those that he since
has indicted and prosecuted is too
long to print, but if the under
world kept blue book the names
of those to whom Thomas E.
Dewey has been nemesis all would
be included in it.
