The Babe Ruth Contest does not

above. But your contest editor
does hold the peculiar thought the
contest will make real baseball

after all, baseball skill, judgment
and knowledge are brought into
the picture.
The contest is 48 hours old now.
And the mailman's load of letters
is becoming heavier and heavier.
The contest closes September 5.
Once again, your editor wants to
remind you that date is not so far
off and it is his suggestion to
send in your teams as quickly as
possible.
The prize is indeed something
to shoot for. The two contestants
coming nearest to the Ruth selec-
lions will be declared the winner.

Louis Confident
He'll Win Title
BY LAYTON CARVER

BY LAYTON CARVER
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-"I'm
sure now I'll be the heavy
weight champion just as quick
as / can get a shot at the
title" Joe Louis said, and this
time he was the grinning
Brown Bomber again, the flaw
less fighting machine which
leaves opponents bleeding and
helpless.
He was stretched out on a
table, half doing under the ten
der ministrations of Jack Black
burn, his trainer.
Nearby in another dressing
room Jack Sharkey was trying to
shake off the daze of four knock
downs and a three-round knock
out which brought Louis back
into the forefront of contenders
for the title at Yankee Stadium
last night. Said Louis:
"Sharkey is smart and he was
game tonight, but just as soon
as the first round was over l
knew I would take him in the
next or in the third at the latest.
HE missed me with one good
punch, right hand that
whistled past my chin. He
didn't hurt me at any time, al
though his jabS Stung.
"The punch I landed in the
second round for the first knock
down was one Of the hardest 1
have ever let gO-and that won
the fight"
Gloom pervaded SharkeyS quar-
tiers, as the former champion
slipped on his clothes, snarling
with customary vigor and enthuSi-
asm at photographers, refusing to
smile or pose and leaving it to
them to get him catch-as-catch
can.
The old sailors right eye was
decorated with mouse. His lips
were swollen and he was crest
fallen, no longer the cocky vet
eran who would do a better job
than Schmeling did.
He shook his head and
mumbled:
81 must have made a mistake,
and 1 guess I got clipped.

but there are several bitches in
the way of it.
The primary hitch-at the mo-

Age SLOWS
Sharkey
To Walk
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Times Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Aug.
19.-Streaking out of
his corner with slither-
ing left jolts to Jack
Sharkey's a m axe d
countenance, the re-
vived Joe Louis, again
wide awake and alert,
regained several rungs
of the pugilistic ladder
when he handily dis
posed of the agate
eyed sailor in some
thing less than eight
full minutes of fight
ing.
The old white whiskered
man in flowing robes and
with an hour glass in his hand
had slowed Sharkey down to
q walk.
The second round, after
Louis had established his bear
ings, as well as the / minute
and 2 seconds of the third
which the fight lasted, was a
veritable shambles, insofar as
Sharkey was concerned.
In these two brief spasms he
was down thrice for the count
of nine, and he needed every
split second respite of each
count in order to rise again to
face his assailant.
To the everlasting credit of the
Boston bartender, it must be re-
corded in the interest of fairness
that he stayed in there and took
his beating.
Sh0rkey Takes His Medicine
Never once did he show an
ounce of fear or reticence at tax
ing his medicine. and, my friends,
his potionS were coming in rapid
succession from a relentless an
tagonist who was in there fight
ing for his very pugilistic exist
ence.
Briefly, in so far as Sharkey
was concerned, the spirit was
willing but the flesh was weak.
You can write reams around
this short struggle for heavy
weight supremacy. But you must
inevitably come back to the SIM
pie statement that the load was
too much for the 35-year-old for
mer champion to tote.
After the first foray in the
initial round, when Sharkey land
ed with a left, paying compound
interest therefor a moment later
when Louis hammered bin to the
ropes and kept him there with
a rain of lefts and rights to the
head, it was apparent that Shar-
kew had no defense against the
raging, persistent colored youth,
who seemed tuned to the instant
and anxious to vindicate himself
for his slow, colorless fight of
two months previous.
In thus delivering himself,
Louis, in a large measure, justi-
fled the faith that the camp fol-
lowers in both this and his pre-
vious battle reposed in him in

Y Joined the honored legion OF
men who have come back.
Rhodes was traded to the Athletics
by the Red Sox last Winter in the
deal that brought Jimmy Foxx to
Boston. He had won only 2 games
and lost 10 while toiling for the Bos-
ton team and he was believed to be
in the Autumn of his career.
Under the patriarchial hand OF
Connie Mack, however, Dusty has be-
come one Of the most effective pitch
ers In the American League. He has
won four games while losing two thus
far and in one Of those losing games
he allowed but FIVE hits. He turned
in his classiest performance yesterday
when he held the third-place Cleve-
land Indians to three safeties and
blanked them, 40.
Rhodes feat was the best pitching
job turned in on a day that saw
Robert Moses Grove hold the Detroit
Tigers to five hits as the Red Sox
won 81, and Carl Hubbell give the
same number of bingles to the Chi
cago Cubs as the Giants won. SO.
Grove Again in Form.
IT WAS the second time this sea-
= son that Grove had held the
Tigers to fve hits and it gave the
rangy lefthander six wins against a
single defeat. Eden Auker, the los
ing twirler, allowed only seven hits
in the eight innings he worked.
Hubbells pitching gave the Giants
their fourth straight victory since
coming back from their disastrous
Western tour, and it notched the fiftf
straight defeat against the men OF
Charley Grimm. For the NTH time ir
six starts, Lon Warneke failed u
finish his game, being relieved by Roy
