Meanwhile, Jack Sharkey ap-
pears to have the same old boast
full nature that characterized him
in his more active days in the ring.
He is quoted as saying that
Schmeling beat him to Louis"
That implies that Sharkey knew
all along that Louis was vulner-
able and that sooner or later he
would meet his Waterloo, even
if it wasn't until Jack got q
crack at him.
The fight world is accustomed
to such utterances from the STEP
child of modern heavyweight
champions, term Sharkey rates
because he has been the divisions
most consistent tn-lnd-outer. the
while he has popped-off about
what he was going to do to his
next foe and on one occasion wind
ing up by standing in his corner,
crying when he lost on foul.
Well, Sharkey may or may not
put up a great fight against
Louis, you never can tell. Change
able as a woman'S mind, in his
ring conduct, Sharkey showed
signed of greatness half a dozen
years ago, often following up with
exhibitions of sheer mediocrity.
Sharkey Is anxious to get over
Louis, because, whether Schmeling
beats Braddock or not, it means
another Sharkey-Schmeling fight.
and Jack always figured he had
Max's number-which is pretty
much the truth.
He did.

The question is, will he have Joe

Kiesel had only one bad inning
(if you want to call it bad, the
eighth, when the Beermen got to
him for two hits and the lone run
scored off his twisting shoots.
Dennis, Nolan's fleet center
fielder, flashed diamonds at the
plate, getting a homer, triple and
single in five tries.
Two games were scheduled in
Section B yesterday, but neither
materialized. The Blue Flames
forfeited to Woodmen of the World
and Shady Grove and Dixie Pigs
decided to cancel their game at
Riverdale. The Grovemen and
Pigs cancelled because neither
have a chance for the second-half
crown and they thought it would
be a waste of time to play the
game.

Series Trips

object Is to name the same lineup
as selected by the board. Besides,
you must place the players in the
correct batting order and &C.
company your selection with q
short letter giving the reasons
why you picked those particular
players.
Sounds easy, doesn't it? Well,
1t Is.
One paper last year conduct
ing the contest received five
teams in which the lineup and
batting order was exactly as
named by the All America Board.
And, what's more, the winner
of the first prize was a 59-year-old
fan from a little town in Arkansas,
who had only witnessed one
major league game in his life.
That brings me to the best tip
I can offer-read the sport pages
of The Washington Times every
day without fail. I am 5000 miles
away, but feel I could pick the
10 best players in the Pacific Coast
League, providing I studied the
California sport pages every day
and, therefore, like the gentleman
from Arkansas, every reader Of
The Washington Times has a
chance to pick the correct Ali
America lineup by careful daily
study Of the box scores, the bat
ting and fielding averages and
the pitching marks published in
The Washington Times.
Another thing I have noticed
in past years-the women fans
give the men good battle, when
it comes to picking all-star teams.
The Ladies Day courtesy extended
by many ball clubs has greatly
increased feminine interest in
baseball and you'd be surprised
to know how the ladies read the
old sport page! In this connec-
ton I was delighted to learn that
the mother Of eight children liv-
ing in st. Louis, Mo, won the first
prize in last years contest, by
naming the correct lineup and
batting order and lady, age IS.
won a prize in another city.
Up in Boston, where more than
100000 fans participated in the
contest, first prize was won by a
15-year-old cripple boy, whom I
since had the pleasure Of meeting.
So you see, here is contest for
young and old and everybody has
a chance on two conditions
you've got to love baseball and
you've got to read the sport pages
every day.
And after all, for anyone who
poses as a real baseball fan, pick
ing the ten best players out of
375, should not require much luck.
The stars on the 16 big league
clubs are all well-known and their
performance is widely advertised,
so that sport page readers are in
formed Of every slump and every
squirt. Remember the three major
requirements Cd pick the correct
ten players, (2) place them in the
correct position and batting order,
and 90 accompany your selection
with a short (about $50 words)
snappy letter telling why you
picked them.
BY next week, when I write my
second article. the early returns
will be coming in and I'll have
some more to say about the con-
test-meanwhile, may the best
fan win.
Now don't DELAY.

taken the comeback trail, spurred
on no doubt by the feeling that if
Schmeling, never quite the fighter
that was Sharkey, can take the
first long leap back into Fistiana's
glare, certainly there is hope for
him
Evidently Louis intends to make
as short work Of Sharkey as pos
sible there under the Klieg lights
Of Yankee Stadium.
This was seen in Joe's training
camp tiffs with his varied assort-
ment of spar mates.
Instead Of taking his training
lightly and nonchalantly as he
did his preparation for Max
Schmeling Louis was flooring his
practice partners in rapid success
sion.
Faces The Facts
His mental attitude is said
to be quite different than it was
in the pre-schmeling days. Louis
is reported to have suddenly be-
come cognizant Of a feeling that
he's got to hurdle Sharkey or
bow out of the fight picture.
Such are the outward appear
anceS.
Too, there are no exterior indi-
cations that Louis is brooding
over his recent ring loss to Max
Schmeling. At % you know, it
isn't the nature of man to crawl
in his shell and become moody
over any kind of setback.
Louis trainers have been watch
ing him closely for any stage of
depression which might make it
self apparent, and have pro-
