FORCING TACTICS
CALLED MISTAKE
Should Have Used Methods
Employed by Schme|ing,
Jack Is Convinced.
BY JACK DEMPSEY.

HICAGO, Juno 23.-Two years
of idleness beat James J.
Braddock out of his heavy
~ weight championship Of the
world here last night. The lion-hearted
Irish American carried on for seven
and fraction rounds before his layoff
caught up with him, and he went
down and out after one minute and
ten seconds OF battling in the eighth
round. Braddock, in my opinion,
made the mistake OF carrying the
fight to Louis right from the start.
Instead of making Louis fight his
kind of fight, he fought Joe's way
and the result was inevitable.
It was apparent at the end Of the
sixth round that Braddock was fading,
and that the long period of rustine
was beginning to show its effect on
his pep and speed.
For five rounds Braddock acquitted
himself we'll. Louis, it must be said,
fought much better fight than any
Of workouts gave evidence Of He
was not the sucker for a right-hand
punch that he appeared to be in
training, nor that he was in the fight
with Max Schmeling.
He fought cool, heady fight and
he deserves credit for it.
Error In Strategy.
PRADDOCK tried = terrific right
hand smack to the jaw right
OF the bat when the fight opened,
but he missed It, Had he been lucky
with that punch, the result might
have been different.
But there are no alibis. Braddock
did the best he could, and he was
not good enough.
I think he made big mistake in
the style of fighting he elected to try.
He should have done more like
Schmeling did. He should have kept
away from Louis in the early rounds,
instead of going in and making leads.
He knew that, think, but he is too
much the fighter to wait long with
out taking punch at his opponent
Braddock showed that he could
take Joe's Sunday punches and still
keep on fighting. He took some SOCK
dodgers in several rounds. and while
he was badly shaken at times he
never once let up in his attempt to
carry the fight to Louis.
In the first round it looked for 4
time as if old jim was going to du-
plicate Schmeling's stunt and get
Louis. They had exchanged some
good wallops, with Joe having the
better of it, when all of a sudden
Braddock landed a right to Joes chin
and Louis Topped back on his
launches. 1t looked like a clean
knockdown. When he scrambled to
his feet he looked a bit wobbly, and
Jim went tearing into him with q
vengeance, as If he thought he could
put an end to 1t right there. But Joe
covered up pretty well. although he
did take few good welts and handed
out few on his own account.

"Oh, I'm so happy" said Mr..
Brooks, embracing a daughter, Mrs.

children who was not at the f,aht
"Joe's right hand was all right this
time"
Reaction to the lights result v,s
comparatively calm. Fifty-two motor

He Can Take 1t.

plenty OF action, but the big fea-
ture Of it was Braddocks ability to
take Louis punches on the jaw, flush
on the old potato, mind you, and still
keep coming in for more.
Although Braddock was badly
beaten, his left eye busted and sWol-
len and his mouth gashed open on
the left side, he was not licked when
he was revived and went to his
dressing room. Through his ghastly
looking mouth Jim declared that he
would like another chance at Louis.
Il needed this fight" he told me.
Il needed it just as you needed that
Tommy Gibbons fight to prep you
tor Firpo. I thought the layoff
wouldn't bother me, but at the end of
the fifth round I began to feel tired
and I knew that couldn't 60 on at
top speed for Is rounds. That's why
went out there in the sixth and
seventh round and cut loose. I knew
I had to gamble for a knockout, and
couldn't score one unless I went in
and took chance. I had to throw
some punches while was still strong
enough. but just couldn't get him.
It can get another crack at him

don't know whether Jims right
or not. but l do know just how he
felt in that fifth round I've ex-
perienced the same feeling myself.

jump on you by laying idle.
Knockdown Provides Thrill.

Of him didn't. Those unknown
qualities" wrote about in a previous
article, his ability to carry on at top
speed for is rounds and his stamina,
were pretty good. I guess they were
as good as could be expected.
There was nothing particularly bril-
liant about the fight. The spectacular
thing, aside from the knockout, was
the knockdown of Louis in that first
round. 1t gave everybody big thrill,
4Ol ~ 1OOACu DIS IL dUuOCk ndQ
turned the tide, which had begun to
flow against him, in his own favor.
But Louis stood up and Braddocks
big chance was gone.
They were very evenly matched in
every other way. Jim weighed 1877
pounds and Louis weighed only a
quarter Of q pound more. But Joe
had the accuracy and the timing
much better than Jim did, and that
told the story.
Braddock's explanation Of why he
fought the way he did is all right
for the periods after the fifth round
but 1t doesn't explain why he fought
the way he did in the earlier rounds
Braddock was out good and proper
It took some time to bring him around.
That's the way 1t is when a fellows
vitality has been exhausted. He
fought himself out, and then he
couldn't stand up under Joe'S bonn
bardment any longer. His resistance
broke down, and with 1t went Jim's
luck.
I strung along with Braddock be-
cause I thought his heart and his
luck would carry him through. Also
I thought he would fight Louis the
way he did Baer. But Jimmy did
not disgrace himself. He put up
fght, and he went down fighting.
He's still good man in my book.
Now Joe Louis Is heavyweight
champion Of the world. I wish him
good luck and success. hope, and
I belieYe. he will wear the title grace
fully and decently.

Even Getting Breaks Now.
THE business OF beating the Indians
is taken seriously by the Mats.
In the first place they have some

Tribe now Is only four games ahead
OF Washington. Once they get out
Of sixth place the Griffs will fnd that
most OF the other clubs are so closely
punched that moving higher Is
matter of only winning three or four
straight games.
Speaking Of winning streaks, the
Mats firmly believe they are nursing
one now that Is destined to grow
They are overdue to have q streak for
one thing, and then luck is with
them these days. Any manager would
rather have a lucky club than q good
one and Harris is no exception. Dur
ing the first seven weeks Of the season
every break went against the Griffs,
as always happens in the case OF
loser 1t is winning team that gets
the breaks and Washington is getting
them now.
In the first inning against White
hill yesterday, for instance, the Mats
made five straight hits before an out
was registered and only one Of these
was well-hit ball. That was single
by Hill, opening the game. Buddy
Lewis beat out a bunt, Joe Kuhel
looped q single to left, Johnny Stone
was safe on q dribbler to Trosky at
first base and Sington drove in two
runs with broken bat liner to center.
Feller Also Hit In Win.
THIS uprising netted 80 lead that
never was lost. In the fourth
frame the Grif1s chased Whitehill
with another three-run inning and
they nicked Ivy Andrews for another
run. Then some new fun was
scheduled.
Bob Feller, the 18-year- -old fireball
sensation, relieved to make his first
appearance since May 18, when he
pitched to one batter in Boston. The
Mats greeted him as they sometimes
do lesser pitchers and drummed up
four runs in two innings. Feller was
no bargain and his support even less
So
Bob was not as fast as he has been,
which may be due entirely to his lay
of, but his control was good and he
had no complaints to make after his
brief turn in the box His arm Is
believed to be fully cured of the sore
ness that threatened to put him on
the shelf for the whole season.

terrific hitting wasn't being matched
by anybody else, except Johnny Stone,
and the pitching was pretty sour.
There were flaws showing in the in
field and people were yelling, Look

Browns.
Then they lost Simmons, and in
stead Of kerplunking to the bottom OF

No. 3 yesterday, for 1t was chalked
up at the expense Of Earl Whitehill,
an old teammate who twice had
beaten Bucky Harris forces this year.
1t may be recalled that just about
this time last year the Mats first drew
recognition as potential flrst-divi-
sion club. They were f1oundering
when they suddenly struck a winning
stride, and when the supposedly sig
niflcant 4th Of July rolled around
they were in second place.

In that outf1eld, nor at bat, but he has
one thing in common with Al, it ap-

across runs.
Last year the big fellow played
something like Is games near the end
Of the season, and he drove across 20
or 80 runs. The day after Simmons
was forced out Fred tripled TO drive
across the winning margin against
the Browns and Monte Weaver won a
2-to-1 game. Yesterday, as the Mats
buried the Indians, IL to 2, Fred drove
across flve runs on two well-placed
hits. This ability to drive home run
ners probably is what will keep Fred
die in the majors.
