teams had accomplished the
thing that the Detroit Tigers are
trying to achieve this year-win
three straight remnants.
An in4uiSitive cuSS whose name
doesn't make any difference, but
who we might call John Doe or
Richard Roe, asked me at the
ball park recently to enumerate
the three-time winners, and out
side of the Athletics. Yankees
and Giants, wasn't so quick on
the trigger.
But meanwhile I've consulted
my little baseball bible and can
name them off today with the
snap of my fingers. They are,
therefore:
American League: Detroit, 1907
1909; New York, 1921-1923 and
1926-1928; Philadelphia, 1929-1931.
National League: Chicago. 1880
1882; Boston. 1891-1893; Balti.
more, 18941896; Pittsburgh, 1901
1903; Chicago, 1906-1908; New
York, 1911-1913 and 1921-1924
for four in a row.
Louis Us. Schmeling
When Max Schmeling enters
the 24-foot ring with Joe Louis,
the Detroit Dervisher, at Yankee
Stadium, New York. June 10, he
will be Joe's third known foe who
wasn't scared stiff before the
opening gong sounded.
Say what you will Of Matte
Browns ringmanShip, he never
knew the meaning of the word
fright, except perhaps on an &C.
casion or two when he had to face
the radio microphone. He was
on his feet March 90, 1885, at the
end of his fight with Joe Louis in
Detroit, badly beaten, but unmind-
full of fear.
Pauline Uzcudun, who was K.
Cd by Louis in New York Deem
Der IL, last. wasn't licked before he
entered the ring with Louis as
were Max Baer and Primo Car
nera and King LevinSky.
And all up and down Max
Schmeling's hot and cold career
(you will recall he won the title
from Sharkey flat of his back he
has shown nary" a streak of SAT-
from.
The stolid German will not be
ghostly white as he squares off
against Louis few weeks hence.
Neither viii: he "dog-it" an inch OF
the way. Joe will have to deliver
the finishing punch in order to
eliminate Make. There will be no
appealing glances to the referee to
stop the fight, la Levinsky and
Baer.
In making such a contrast I do
not mean to imply Baer quit, for
he didn't. He was hurt and hurt
bad and knew it was hopeless to
try to go on. i can not say the
same for Levinsky, alas!
A Vest Pocket Office
One of the most compact or
CARNATIONS in baseball is that
comprising the minor league fran
chises of Albany, N. Y; York, Pa,
and Magodan, N. c., which are
the Glass AA, Glass A and Glass D
farms of the Washington team
owned and operated by Joe Cam
bria, of Baltimore.
Neither of the aforementioned
teams have offices at their home
bases, the franchises and player
contracts being in a single filing
cabinet at Cambria's Baltimore
laundry.
In three separate vest pockets
Cambria, who scouts and travels
a great deal, keeps the active and
reserve lists of the three clubs
folded up in tiny wads, and he can
tell you at a glance what players
he has under agreement.
BY certain heiroglyphics, which
strongly suggest laundry mark
ings, opposite their names, Joe
has the players rated as to abil-
ity. The fellow is a walking cor
poration. with subsidiaries, and if
anything ever happens to his vest
there'll simply be no heads or
tails of those three ball clubs af-
! fairs.
