MOUNDSMEN NOW WANTED
 FOR BROWNS
Vice-Presidents Are Cheap But Pitchers Are
 Hard to Sign

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-The ambi- tious St. Louis Browns consider it a dull day when they don't add a vice president, a director or a scout but, as for moundsmen Manager Roger Hornsby himself says, pitchers of any kind are scarce"
 The team nas but four hopes of bolstering its weak 1886 staff Les Tietje, Howard Mills, Lou Kou- pal and Oral Hildebrand. In the new deal, two of last years hurl- CTS, Leroy Mahaffey and Ivy Paul Andrews, are gone.
 Mahaffey and a bundle of cash went to Seattle for Koupal, 33- year-old veteran who had one of the best earned-run averages in the Pacific Coast League. He won 23 games and lost Il in 1886, giv- ing Hornsby some reason for say ing: T think an experienced man like Koupal will help us.'
 Andrews and Hildebrand were exchanged in the Browns 3-for-3 deal with Cleveland. Hildebrand, with an earned run average of 4.S9 per nine innings, won 10 and lost II las- year, while Andrews, yielding 485 earned runs per game, won ' and lost 12 Their records make the trade pretty much of a stand-off
 Tietje, obtained last year from the Chicago White Sox in a deal for Merritt (Sugar) Cain, devel- oped arthritis and was virtually useless. A long course of treat ments returned him to physical fitness, and the Browns have signed him for 1897.
 Mills, whom the Browns have been jockeying along since they took him from the Navy several years ago, has been called a mys- tery man by Scout Ray Cahill. A lefthander, he won F and lost 6 with San Antonio last season, fin ishing second in the Texas League in strikeouts with l57. In l86 in- nings, he had an earned run aver age of 2.52 per game.
 He may make the grade this year and he may not" said Cahill. If he can move to the Browns

ever a basketball crown rested on hairs breadth 1t did last night in the high school gym when a five minute overtime was called and Douglas eeked out a victory by a one point margin over the Bremen 30-29.
 If there is no mishap when the Eagles play their last game next Tuesday with the DeMolays. they will be the undisputed titleholders, but no such upset is expected from the demoralized Purple and Colds. In downing the Firemen last night the Islanders virtually cIinched the City League title.
 Joe Snow opened the game for the Bremen with a long shot; his team mates dropped a field goal and foul. then a beautiful shot by Tom Mover. high score man for the losers, closed the first period with the Bremen holding a "a lead.
 Gordon Mills, high point man of the game, tossed in number of shots to help raise the Islanders stock in the second quarter. but the Bremen still held a two point lead. The third quarter saw the lead volleyed back and forth, then Art Burke. who had been working at top speed all evening checking the Islanders and grabbing the leather off the blackboard settled the dispute with a field goal that kept the Firemen still in the lead 22-2l. <'
 Jimmy Orme and Tom Mover sank pair of leng field goals at the opening of the final period but they were matched by the less sem sational but just as effective plays of the Islanders. who forced the pace in the fourth quarter. The Bremen were unable to break the 28 point tie before the gun was fired.
 A five minute overtime was called and the score was knotted at 29-all when Niemi made good a free shot which ended the game in favor of the Islanders. 30-29.

Just as Max Schmeling revealed some glaring weaknesses in Joe Louis defense last summer, so did Bob Pastor, in his, runaway fight against the Bomber. bring it out that Louis is far from perfect ir his attack. Claims that the Detroit heavyweight is "big Joe Cans will have to be proved later. By his inability to catch the back |pedaling Pastor in their recent To- round bout, Louis indicated that he still had much to learn about the fight game. A great fighter would have pinned Pastor against the ropes or have cornered him anc blasted him apart. Louis looked the part of an amateur" as he wal
 dubbed by Schmehng, when he awkwardly tried to connect with the fleeing Pastor.
 When Bob failed to lead, Louis was lost. The only way Louis seems able to get in his deadly punching is to draw lead from his opponent and then counter. His amazing swiftness in delivering blows en- ables him to beat the other fellow to the punch. Therein lies the secret of his success. Place him against fighter who will not lead and Joe becomes fumbling, un- certain.
 Misses Moving Targets Joe can punch with killing power Plenty of evidence shows that. But he must be set to deliver those blows Against a moving target, such as Pastor provided, Joe either misses entirely, or his punches are robbed |Of all steam.
 Against Schmeling. and recent fly against Pastor, Louis revealed himself as single track fighter His inability to alter his style made him a setup for Schmeling's right hand smashes. His handlers pleaded with him to raise his left shoulder so that his jaw would not present such an open target for Schmeling, but Joe couldn't get out of his na- tural groove.
 He'd Better Improve A truly great boxer would be able to alter his style to meet sur prise attack. Obviously. Louis can not adjust himself. Jack Blackburn had better teach him before he is tossed in against fellows like Jimmy Braddock.
 A smart boxer-not frightened by the negro's paralyzing punch - can make Louis look ordinary. Pas tor did, and Bob never was rated a smart fighter. All he did was to follow instructions of his handlers and keep moving away from Louis. As long as he did that he was safe. It didn't make it exciting for the customers who paid $16.50 to see Ia fight-but that's another story.
