Manager O'Doul last night to give
the Seals an 81 victory in Is
innings over the Mission Reds.
In the thirteenth Longacre got
an infield single, and advanced
to second when Joe Vitter threw
wild trying to catch him. Jennings
bunted safely for a single. Then
the pair executed a double steal,
with Longacre coming home with
the run.
The Missions matched that is
their half so it was up to the
youngsters again in the 18th. Jen-
nings and Brooks Holder, another
rookie, slammed singles to get Jen-
nings to third. He scampered home
on Boss long fly with the winning
run.
Beck, who took Babich's place in
mid-game, was the loser, and Shee-

Pierre's fourth chin in the fourth
round, and thereby retained his
heavyweight title. Being no sucker,
George also retained his job as
handyman in the Paris restaurant,
where the pork chops went under
another name but were pork chops
just the same.
Now the LB.U. has displaced
George with Schmeling. What
excuse the frivolous Frenchmen
made to George, l don't know.
because he never has been beaten.
Immediately after hOn0ring
Schmeling the I.B.U. boys pour
ed another pernod and named
Tommy Farr, British champion,
as the only possible contender
for the worlds heavyweight title.
l admit that I have no right to
challenge the judgment of such an
august and muddle- headed body as
the I.B.U., but when they are
naming challengers I don't think
it should overlook an unknown
Negro we have hidden away in
this country, named Joe Louis. You
and the IBU. may never have
heard of him, but personally have
seen him fight and he is hell on
wheels. He has fought a few pri-
vate fights under the secretive
promotion of Mike Jacobs and l
believe he is ready for the big
time.
I have also seen Farr fight. When
I was in London last fall trying
to straighten out the Dukes affairs
I took a look at Farr's dukes
They did not have the bar sinister.
In fact, there was nothing sinister
about them. If Louis couldn't belt
Farr out in three heats, as we say
in Mayfair, then I am an armadillo
sewing basket with ceriSe lining.
However, the IB.U may be right
Maybe Schmeling is the champion
Maybe Farr is the leading conten-
der. Maybe am an armadillo bas-
ket. But don't laugh too heartily
my friends. Maybe you will be the
next heavyweight champion ol
contender.
The LB.U. will get you if vol
