The element which
holds main interest in
the August 18 meeting
of Joe Louis and Jack
. Sharkey has to do with
the effect of Schmeling' s
right-hnd smashes upon
Louis bearing in the ring.
What did those jarring rights
do to Joseph Barrow Louis con-
fidence?
Will he be more cautious in
his maneuvers than he was,
say, against Carnera, Baer, or
Pauline?
Such are the main questions pre-
sented from the Joe Louis aspect.
From the Sharkey angle, there
are equally as interesting angles
Is it too late, at "a, for Sharkey
to start a comeback against serl'
Gus competition. Even in the face
of Louis showing against Schmel-
ing, you've still got to take Joe
seriously, you know.
One IN TIDerfV-EiQhf
What sin is it for a fighter to
drop one fight in %?
None, say, and for that reason
Louis is still an uncommonly good
scrapper in my book. I'm turning
my back on no one with so Splen-
did a record as Joe'S over the
two years, dating from July 4,
1884.
Is it too much Of a step for Shar-
key to take to Louis from the Un-
known Winstons, the Tony Shuc.
COS and the Philip Brubakers, The
easy prey of Sharkey's boxing
, prowess in recent months?
Sharkey has been mirored in
pen and picture as a doddering
old man who has no right forsak-
ing the coziness of his Boston beer
bar for the resined ring at the age
of "a.
Such critics may be mistaken
In taking that attitude.
Fitz Fought at IL
There have heen examples of
fighters making creditable show
ings in the ring at much more
advanced years than Sharkey's.
For instance, Ruby Robert Fitz'
/. simmons won the world heavy
weight championship in Carson
City, New, over Jim Corbett
when the sandy-complexioned and
freckled fighter was IS years OF
age.
That is about the exact age
of Sharkey, incidentally. as many
scott at the age the record
books claim for Sailor Jack. The
man may actually be as old as
81, but even that doesn't make
him too old to fight if the case
OF Fitzsimmons is to be followed
through to the end of his fight
ing days.
Eventually FitzsimmonS lost the
title to Jim Jeffries, but he was
far from being through as a
fighter.
. Fitz kept breezing along in the
ring until he was Al years old,
when he lost to Bill Lang, back
yonder IL a ring down in Fitz'S
beloved Australia.
~ Granddaddy of 'En1 All
Fighting at such an age. Fitz
was popularity called the grand,
daddy of the whole brigade OF
boxers of his day.
And there have been fighters,
down through the corridors of
ring history, who were active at
q far greater age than Fitz' At.
There was an American-born
Negro. Bill Richmond, who, though
he never fought in this country
made a name for himself abroad
He was born in 1853 in Rich
mond, N. Y, whence he got his
name and followed the British
troops back to England on the
heels of the American Revolution

that the conferees had finally decided

This would have brought in an es-

self-respect and self-reliance-a peace
which upholds the Christian virtues
and defies the threat Of rapacious
greed-a peace that will mean con-
tinued happiness and freedom for God

Gen. Macarthur outlined the de-
fense plan in this manner:
The chief of staff is in direct con-
troll Of the military establishment,
under immediate supervision of the
President. The chief Is assisted by a
general staff and by the chiefs of
several services and bureaus. Among
his assistants is the provost marshal,
who is in charge of all national police
work and of registering and inducing
individuals into military service.
The army itself Is to consist of q
regular force and reserve, predomi-
nantly land units, but which will be

an air force and marine division, the
latter to be known as the of shore pa
troll Essential harbor defense units
will be maintained.
Reserve Corps Planned.
The reserve corps will be organized
under plan requiring military train
ing "as duty to the state" Gen Mac
Arthur continued. Elementary mill
tary instruction will be q by-product
Of public school education and will be
given on Sundays and holidays to
young men not attending school.
''The length of the principal train
ing period" he said, "is limited, for
the average trainee, to five and one
half months"
Gen. Macarthur said the plan
completely negatives any possibility
of employing the army in aggressive
action" The regular force will oper-
ate the training system for individuals,
ENSURE continuous availability of q
reasonably strong and highly trained
military force" I" and perform the
police work hitherto carried out by the
constabulary.
Forty thousand reserves are to be
trained each year.
The defense system will entail q To-

Arthur reported.

Delbhiniums Defy Nature
Super Flowers of Maryland Attorney
Amaze Him With Antics.
BY a Stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan correspondent OF Inc star.
EDGEMOOR, Nd, June 19.-Ama-
teur horticulturists shook their heads
in ama0ement today and then gazed
again at the delphiniums In the gar
den Of 10 v. Morgan, well-known at
torney and civic leader.
Scores Of freakish flowers, resem-
bling the ordinary species only in
beauty and general appearance, have
climbed to astounding. heights and
taken other surprisingly abnormal
twists.
Not only Morgan's friends and
neighbors are bewildered, but the at
torney himself admitted establishment
at the turn things have taken.
Here's Why.
There are many reasons
The average delphinium usually
grows to a height of 6 or 2 feet. Nor
gan's stand 8. while the king of them
all majestically rears its head 2 feet
higher.
Ordinarily the spike. or long bloom,
atop the flower is between q foot and
a foot and half in length. Those Of
Morgan's flowers are upwards of q
yard long.
Generally the bloom is blue Nor
gan's range from this hue to blue with
pink centers, and the cClors of the
tallest flower is even gorgeous shade
of lavender.
The stalks of ordinary Gelphiniums
are about one-sixteenth Of an inch in
diameter. Morgan's are about a half
inch.
Single blooms are the rule. Those
in the attorneys garden boast double,
even triple blooms.
More Reasons.
And that's not all
The flower Is said rarely TO thrive
In any climate other than that Of New
England, and seldom to live in the
shade.
Morgan's flowers, fringed by tower
ing trees, rarely are struck by the
suns rays.
The attorney, who lives at $500
Moorland lane, is at loss to explain
his success.
"I just planted them and there they
are" he said.
Delphiniums bloom thrice yearly as
a rule. but some of Morgan's friends
are of the opinion his flowers are
freaks that will expend their entire
life in one bloom.
Morgan's flowers already have
proven the fallacy of this theory. how
ever. The 8-foot plants bloomed three
times in 1885, and are out again. The

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, June 10 (R.-
Astronomers in many parts Of the
world reported the discovery today Of
nova, or new star, which has nared
into sudden brilliance far away in

obServatories made hurried computa-

scientists said early studies indicated
it was moving a thousand kilometers

The star appeared in the Milky

To the naked eye, it seemed of me-

magnitude. The first report to reach

finish in the first division.
What about the Griffs in all of
this?
Well, the boys lost their fifth
consecutive game yesterday, and
they looked something worse than
pathetic in losing it. Buck New
som, the warm breeze of Harris
vile, pitched. With customary OPP
timism the Warm Breeze predicted
q shut-out victory. But something
must have gone wrong. You see,
after Red KreSS blasted one into
the leftfield bleachers with a man
on first, NewSom had a three-run
lead.
Perhaps this writer is inclined
to be Obdurate, but we contend
that an ace pitcher should hold a
three-run lead. And to quote from
the Mr.. Bucky Harris concurring
opinion, "he should hold it for
couple of minutes, anyway"
NeWSom was out of the lead, out

The big Maryland apple
knocker. part of the baseball team
which Connie Mack sent to the
Boston Red Sox, is off to a
promising start toward recaptur-
ing the title he held in 1882 and
1888, and today he leads the
parade with a total Of eight, or
an average a little better than
one in every three games played.
That pace probably would leave
Foxx shy Of the Babes high of so
in 1927 and perhaps cen below
his own So in 1882, but it should
be good enough to let him finish
in front.
He found the range twice yes
terday against the Browns. He
accounted for four runs in Bos-
tons 9 to 6 victory. Foxx's homers
enabled Yves Terrell to score the
victory although Soundly smacked

sparkling fielding to keep pace,
a mere half game behind the
Boston club. Bill Dickey raped
out pair of homers to bring
his total for the season to six
and to enable the YankS to win
in a struggle from the Detroit
Tigers. whipped twice in a row.
The score of 6 to 5 demonstrates
the value of Dickey'S two long
ones into the bleachers.
Cleveland remained close be-
hind the YankS, defeating the
Athletics, 4 to 3, on a wild pitch
by Rookie Lee Ross in the ninth.

Coach Moore
Finds Roster
Complete

BY GARRETT WATERS


The foregoing did not actually
happen. But, transcribed in play
let form, it is the writer's concep.
ton of what easily could occur in
an athletic department of any
school, particularly a high school,
at advisory time.
The characters are Cliff Moore,
coach of the Western High School
baseball team, and his secretary.
The latter is included to make it
real "big time" Coach Moore and
Western High are used to give the
play local color, also because the
Western nine is involved in a dia-
Ynond clash with Roosevelt today
at the Roosevelt stadium at $3.50
p. m.
THE CURTAIN RISES
Coach Moore, sitting at his
desk, heaves a deep sigh with
an expression of genuine con-
Germ. Advisory returns" are
coming in thick and fast.)
COACH MOORE (fingering
pencil thOughtfully)-"HOw
many sections have been heard
FROM, secretary"
SECRETARY dts q girl. A
romantic tOuch)-"AlmOst every
one"
COACH MOORE-"WelI, we
ought to know the worst, short
ly."
sECRETARY-"Yes. we
ought"
(The checking ends. Moore
and his secretary jumps up sud-
denly and dance a jig around
the room.)
COACH MOORE-"WhOOpee,
every man on the squad passed
his grades. The fact OverwhelmS
mel"
UNCERTAINTIES, SIR"
COACH MOORE-"Can't fig.
ure it out, but it's true. Now,
the team can battle the best Of
'em."
Seriously, situation like West
ern now enjoys is encouraging to
say the least. It is q boost to the
morale of any high school team
to have every man on its roster
eligible, since it does away with
patching up presentable lineups
for games ahead.
Today, Coach Moore has all on
deck ready to give the Rough
Riders the toughest sort of battle
from Lee KuShman, ace pitcher,
to Francis Clearly, midget" first
base coach.
