Hank Greenberg and Jimmy
Foxx are well known for their run
producing activities. But there
are lots of players who did not
top the lists by any manner of
means. Now what is their value
to the team.
Points Out Position
Bill Starr, the young catcher of
the Griffs, is a youth of ideas in
1t is the contention that
the man who hits $50 for a club
is not necessarily a better hitter
than a man who hits $40 sounds
strange, perhaps, but Starr is pre-
pared to defend his position in the
matter. The difference between
a $50 hitter and $40 hitter is
four hits per hundred times at
bat, Starr said this morning.
"NOw that isn't much. Well,
suppose that $50 hitter is one
of those fellows who clOut with
two out and no one on base, but
pops up with the bases loaded.
Now, take that other hitter who
hits $40 and hits when the
bases are loaded. He's the bet
ter hitter, as 1 see it. 1 think
that more attention should be
paid by baseball fans to the runs
batted in by a ball player. In

Max Schmeling was to take his
final workout today for his
fight with Joe Louis Thursday
night. After boxing five rounds
with his Sparring partners he
will hang up his gloves until he
enters the ring at the Yankee
Stadium against the Brown

Present plans call for Schmel-
ing to remain in camp here
until Thursday morning, instead
of leaving for New York tomor-
row night, as originally Sched-
uled.

dicted he'll tip the scale at
eight 201 or 2O2 by fight time.
This will be Louis heaviest

fact, the league officials should
take more interest in the rum
producers.
"ZOnes might be established"
Starr continued. For instance,
if p man came to bat with a
runner on first and two out, the
chance of him driving in a run
would be rather remote. But
if he came to bat with man
on third and no one out, he
should be fined if he fails to
produce the run. A man on Sec
Ond, we'll say, would be in the
norma, scoring zone. If you fail
to score men from second, you
would not be such a great hitter
in the pinches.

study all the hitters, but have

pictures or no pictures, I'm
gOin' to fIatten him just as quick
as l can"
This is Joe Louis reply to the
insinuation that he might carry"
Max Schmeling along for few
rounds to increase the value of the
moving pictures of which he will
get 80 per cent.
It is one of two inSinuations
which seem able to stir Joe from
his almost inhuman placidity, the
other being the suggestion that
he might not be able to take" it.
The writer put both suggestions
squarely up to Joe while Trainer
Jack Blackburn was bandaging his
hands before lacing on the gloves
for his semifinal workout.
LET me tell you something"
said Joe Indignantly, 81 amt
never carried nobody and l
amt going to start lOw.
81 got plenty of money right
now and I'll get more for this
fight. If the pictures make me
some more, that's fine. But if
they don't, it don't make no diff
ference. If / can stop him with
one punch, Pm going to-"
This seemed to bode no good for
Max. He didn't, by any chance,
have any personal feelings against
Max did he?
JUST BUSINESS
ooh, no, 1 have no feelings
about any Of the boys fight,
but 1 was a little peeved about
some of those remarks Max
Baer made before our fight.
and that Matte Brown SOrta got
my goat sticking his head out
side the ropes instead of fight
ing like he Oughta."
Then he never carried any
grudge into the ring?
'NOpe, why should 1? It's
just business with me-"
Well, suppoSing Max should
knock him down, what then?
"AII right" said Joe, what
of it? l could get up, couldn't
1? 1 was flattened seven times
in my first amateur fight and
got up every time. Where do
they get that stuff that / can't
take it?"
Let me tell you something
else. An amateur has to take
more beating than a pro because
he don't know anything. 1 bet I
took more when / was boxing
for medals than 1 ever will have
to take fighting for dough. 1
took 10 times more punishment
in my first amateur fight than
took in all my professional
fights put together" -. ... -.
Did Joe get any particular salts
faction or thrill out of fIattening
an opponent? Joe pondered this
one a minute, then grinned and
replied:
WANTS TO WIN
'T don't know just what to
tell you about that, but 1 guess
when 1 knock out a man 1 may
be feeling like Hank Green
berg does when he knocks q
homer for the Tigers. You
know, he amt got nothing
against the pitcher and he don't
want to hurt him none, but he
does want to win the ball game.
Well, that's about the way it is
with me in the fights. The
quicker 1 knock 'em out, the less
they have to take"

What about the other camps

Say" answered Joe, II don't

Whatever the other fellow

AtPOweH
Trade
By KIRK MILLER

10. - Ball players are
breathing a bit easier
now that the fatal
June Is trading and
shifting date is over.
The impression here is that
Washington didn't help itself
a great deal in the Jake
Powell-Ben Chapman trade.
However, the public generally
does not know the underlying
principles beneath the switch
involving the New York and
Washington clubs.
Before left Washington for
these parts and the Schmeling-
Louis fight, found considerable
indignation in the minds of Wash
ington fans over the shipment of
a local boy, with his future in
front of him, in exchange for
Chapman, who they fear might
not have much left, but who, of
course, might merely need a
change of scenery in order to
stage a startling comeback. He is
only %, however, and shouldn't
be near through.
The fact remains, in so far as
Washington fandom is concerned,
that Powell was a favorite there
and had been since away back
yonder in the days when he starred
for the champion Takoma Tigers
under the deft management of
our own Garrett Waters, who
then, as now, was power in anna
teur baseball circles of Washing
ton.
A Ruthless Factor
But, in the trade, exchange, and
barter of ball players, sentiment is
out. 1t must be said in truth
Powell has NOT been very tract
able employe of the Washington
ball club. He has never cult
waited the ability to keep his mind
in such state that he would have
to share it with nothing but base
ball.
Clark Griffith has always been
student of the baseball school
which holds that man cannot
play his best baseball if he is Wor
ried about eXtraneouS matters.
AS far back as last winter,
Powell had worries over which he
had no control-a very sick little
daughter.
The expense of the child's illness
was naturally a drain on his re-
sources. Yet, his employer told me
no later than January that Powell
had contracted other non-essential
obligations, which one possessed of
a better balance in and control of
his personal life would have
avoided at that particular mo-
ment.
He'll Get His
Too, Powell is getting the rep
utation around the circuit as
being dirty ball player. Both
the Detroit Tigers and Chicago
White Sox are laying" for him,
it is said, in view of the Green
berg and Bonura Incidents. It is
thought that sooner or later he
will get his" Griff didn't want
the liability of an injured Powell
in his lap. He has had more than
his share of injured ball players
during the past two seasons.
Also, Powell has been cata-
logued by Bucky Harris as the
champion Screw-loose player of
the league, and Bucky doesn't
crave that particular type.
The case of Alvin Powell, an ad-
mitted star on a club that also
hoasted such drawing personalities
as Red Kress, Buddy Lewis, Buck
NeWSom, Buddy Myer and that
Evergreen of Baseball, OSSie
Bluege, being traded in the height
of his career, has famous paral-
lei, in so far as the Washington
club was concerned.

You Can't Kick
Treasury Tells
Employees

Do Federal employees have the
right to complain to their Con
gressmen about working condi-
tions, pay and promotions?
A warning mo" came yester.
day from Joseph Lawrence, ad.
ministrator Of the Treasury De
partment tax and penalties unit
An equally emphatic Yes"
came from two Members of Con-
gress-Senator William H. King,
of Utah, and Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers, of Massachusetts,;
King said:. S
Il am sure there are injus-
tices in Federal departments,
and that employees should be
free to report them to Members
of Congress"
Mrs. Rogers said:
"This is just another instance
Of playing with fear"
The hullaballoo seemed odd,
since a Civil Service Commission
rule in effect for years has-on
paper-forbidden Federal empoyes
to solicit congressional influence
for promotions.
