T INDIANAPOLIS. February 3.-The
Spring training season soon will be
here for a half million youthful
L base ball players, and there isn't a
professional in the lot.
The boys will begin shining bats and
oiling gloves for the beginning of the
American Legion'S annual junior base
ball tournament.
American Legion officials. expecting
the largest tournament in history, said
these half-million boys will form 80, 00O
teams in more than 10000 communi-

course, has no business stick
ing his nose into such affairs
i as the Madison Square Garden
Twentieth Century Club wrangle,
but, somehow, it doesn't seem to be
as serious as 1t sounds.
Because Mike Jacobs Of the Twen-
tieth Century outfit deftly whisked Jim
Braddock from under their noses and
contrived to sign him for title bout
with Joe Louis in Chicago. the Garden
folks threaten to seek a redress in
court. After all, they have Brad
docks signature on a contract and 1t
calls for him to meet Max Schmeling
in June.
But the court proceedings, II
any, are likely to mold only
sort of q semi official bludgeon,
in the end.
Braddock versus Joe Louis is the hot
match now and Jimmy Johnston of
the Garden knows it as well as any
body. The gate probably will zoom
over the half million mark by plenty.
Braddock versus Schmeling runs risk
of winding up in a financial headache
and the Garden probably knows this,
too.
Jacobs seems to have won the last
round from Johnston, but the dope
now Is that it was no convincing
victory.
With the New York Boxing Com
mission and the courts on his side,
they say that Johnston stands a good
chance of effecting compromise with
the Twentieth Century and cutting
in" on the Louis receipts.
THE Jacobs-Johnston feud runs to
the amusing side now and then.
For a while Jacobs seemed to have
Johnston and the Garden hanging on
the ropes. Then Johnston invited
Louis to fight his Bob Pastor, third
rate "house fighter" and when the
match was made Jimmy bawled that
Louis was a bum and Pastor would
prove it.
He did. Pastor. Furthermore. proved
they both were buns. But Johnston
was happy. He seemed to have

degrees classier than Pastor. If he wins

It seems strange that it took more

with Dempsey and Fitz and Jef1ries.

be knocked goofy with punch high
on his face, that he doesn't know
what to do when his opponent won't
fight the way he wants him to fight,
and that, maybe, his resistance to
punches to the body is not too good.

Managers Often Misled.

VOU never really know a player
- until he is in your team. Fans
realize how carefully we catalogue
batting, strong and weak points of
opponents; how We study their pitch
ers and so on. But just as you often
find you know little of the man who
lives down the street, a manager with
a new man may find unf1attering
things he never suspected when that
PLAYER was in the opposite dugout.
Anyway, a manager often finds that
all the dope has gone wrong and by
midseason he has to confess he was
misled.
That's why, from years Of observa-
tion, insist it's folly to raise your
voice in Winter and loudly declare o.
team has been trimmed.
Remember, club owner doesn't 60
into a deal blindly His business Is
to know player values. But do you
know his purpose in a specific dealP
He does. And that may justify what
apparently appears like sacrificing
player the public rates a star.
How often in recent years have
clubs In both leagues paid fabulous
prices for big names that turned out
as failures? You must remember
some, so don't be too sure any deal is
one-sided.
Don't get the idea Cleveland and
st. Louis didn't know what they were
doing. Cleveland is an efficiently
operated club and its head didn't
suddenly decide in Midwinter to wreck
q club that was a pennant prospect.
