The PAYOFF.
Ripper Steadies Chicago Infeld-Auge Galan Cant Stand Pressme-Giants Rely on Air.Tight Defense

the catches in center all right. but ran himself ragged in doing so.
 Galan doesn't seem to be able to stand pressure.
 The spark of the sag-gathering array of 1895 as leadoff man. Galan slumped frightfully when installed in the No. 3 position in the batting order. where he was expected to drive in runs. The crowd got on him.
 Even Grimm, never too quick to see mistakes, eventually gets around to rectifying them. SO Galan once more sets the tempo of the Cubs as leadoff man, where he belongs.
 The Cubs never were more than five games out of first place while everything that possibly could have happened to them was transpiring during the first month.
 With what should be their full quota of tough luck out of their systems, only Giant. Cardinal. and Pirate optimists can see how the men of Wrigley Field can miss.
 
 Giants Play Elm Close to Vest
 The Cubs still are inclined to view the Giants as their chief opposition.
 Seldom has club banked so heavily on defense as the Polo Grounders.
 The screwball of Carl Hubbell, the sinker of Hal Schumacher, and the curves of Slick Castleman and Harry Gumbert are all thrown low to Gus Mancuso, the niftiest low ball catcher in the dodge.
 This sets up double plays, and there are Dick Bartell and Burgess whitehead to make them.
 It also minimizes the curse of home runs, especially at the Polo Grounds, where the Giants play half of their games and where cir- cult clouts are cheap.
 The Giants have the greatest throwing outfield in baseball in Mel Ott, Joe Moore, and Jimmy Ripple. the latter the less rifie-like of the lot.
 Critics closest to the Giants say that Wally Berger is not a true Polo Grounder because he can't throw up to standard. Hank Leiber. out since early May as the result of being beaned by Bob Teller in an exhibition game, was a real Giant thrower.
 But Berger supplies right-handed punch, and the Giants were sick of Joking at and losing by one-yun margin to left-landed pitchers who took delight in facing five left- handed hitters la 6 row.

LOU|S' APATHY CALLED VIRTUE
 IN MIND STUDY
Psychologist Says Fighter Never Will Be a Night
 Club Champion
By FILLER KRIEGHBAUM


 United Press Staff Correspondent) Ernest Y. Williams of the Howard University School of Medicine has taken Joe Louis apart-psychologi- cally-and predicts that he will be a good" champion because he isn't the type who steps out" at night.
 The assistant professor of neur- ology and psychology at the negro university believes that Louis would accept the responsibilities of being in the public eye because his emo- tional makeup is such that he will not try to show off now that he is champion.
 The same traits that will help to make him a good" champion are those which helped him to climb to boxing success, Dr. Williams said. He explained that Joe was the vagotonic type of individual or the one that Is phlegmatic and hard to arouse.
 To explain his point, the professor said that Louis was reported to have slept almost up to the time of the fight. Likewise, he said that Louis packers had to supply the drive to keep him going and had to build up his interest in wanting to win each fight.
 Louis Extreme Type
 In contrast, he said, some boxers are all needles and pins" just be- fore a bout and for them to sleep, as Louis did, would be impossible. These individuals belong to the sympathectonic type, pr. William said, and their reactions are entirely opposite from the phelegmatic inc divduals.
 Because Louis belongs to this phlegmatic type, Dr. williams pre- dicted that he will be content to follow his former manner of life, which was more or less routine, inc stead of setting out to show the night club world how . champion could go through his paceS.
 Louis, the professor explained stays in the background except when there is fighting to do done then he struts his stun. Joe is SC unable to break away from his typt that he is not a good radio speaker and lacks glamour except during ring performances.
 Another Word For Color
 Dr. Williams said that in the ring Louis fights in the most dramatic manner. In this he is like Dempsey because both champions had what Dr. Williams called neuromusculal coordination. In baseball, Babe Ruth exemplified the same quality This perfect and almost instinc- tive timing, whether in the prize ring or on the baseball diamond gives the crowd thrill because fl all happens SO suddenly. There il no chance to see the mental proc. esses before the action or even tho various parts. There Is . sort oi explosion and homer has beer blasted out of the ball park or q mighty right has fioored the boxers rival.
 Dr. Williams believes that Loli; as a new and vital individual vii. prove c boost to boxing. Louis championship will be regarded bS some negroes as a ''vindicaticn" = if he upholds the highest tradi. tions of the crown. Dr. Wiliiax1ai believes he will do this because fortunately. Louis isn't the type t< ] step out. ss

 Chattanooga.-Bill (Raw Meat) Rodgers is so good that he can't hold down a steady job.
 Rodgers, called Raw Meat because he eats uncooked meat, started the season as manager of Sanford, c Washington National farm in the Florida State League. He got of to a good start and had Sanford we'll out in front when he was transferred to Charlotte, another Senatorial farm which was stum- bling in the lower regions of the Sally Legue.
 Raw Meat lifted the Charlotte club from seventh to third and wes apparently well on the way to first place when he was suddenly drafted for duty as manager of the fiound- ering Chattanooga Lookouts, Wash ington farm in the Southern League.
 He accomplished immediate re- suits. The day he arrived the LookoutS won double -header and moved from eighth to seventh place.

AMERICAN STARS
 CHOICE TO WIN SPECIAL GAME
Terry lon the Pan" for Some National League
 Selections
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

(UMtted Press Se9M CORfe0pOn0eme)
 Washington, July 6-(Up)-There was Hull in the pennant races to- day as the rival major leagues gathered their strongest forces for tomoErow's fifth annual all-star game at 0rinath stadium.
 A capacity crowd of 32,000. persons was expected. Among the specta- tors will Do President Roosevelt. The nations No. pitcher pro- nounced his arm in shape to toss out the first ball. All-star games of the past have brought out many heated arguments but this years battle leads all. A stormy debate has been in progress ever sonce the g players were sec lected by the two managers for the rival teams. It centers around Will liam Harold Terry, pilot of the Ma tional leaguers.
 Lone Walf Terry
 This game is really a battle of wits between Terry and the Ameri- can league. Terry hand-picked his squad, without seriously consulting other National league managers. One Ynanager, when asked if Terry had asked him about his opinions, replied:
 "Yeh, I guess Terry asked me about July s"
 But right or wrong Terry is out to win.
 I'm going to play this one to win it," said Terry, who failed in 1884 as pilot oft he National leaguers. T picked the players going the best right now and I'm satisfied with my selection"
 The big argument over Terry's picks concerned third base, where he named Arky Vaughan, Pittsburgh Shortstop, instead of Pinky Whitney of the Phils who is batting .36l, or Stan Hack, Cubs, who is acknowl- edged as the best third baseman in the National league. Sighting of several Brooklyn players also caused anguish.
 Even with Terry's high-powered squad-and it really carries punch ss well as gilt-edge pitching-the American league, managed by Joe Mccarthy of the Tanks, is the bet ting favorite. Jack Doyle quotes the American league a 7-10 favorite. The American league has won three out of the four games played, with the National league winning its first skirmish last year at Boston, 4-3.
 The probable pitching ltneups will be:
 National League Van Mungo, Brooklyn; Dizzy Dean, St. Louis, and Carl Hubbell, New York.
 American League-Lefty Gomez, New York: Tommy Bridges, Detroit, and Mel Harder, Cleveland.

New York, July z.-Chicago Cubs threat to do something they should have accomplished in each of the last three seasons-win the National league pennant-is something in the way of proof that first base remains Q key position on Q baseball club.
 Charley Grimm credits Jimmy Collins with having a great deal to do with the Bruins reformation.
 The reason is that the Ripper steadied the infield.
 Young Phil Cavarretta was in- ept at handling poor throws. Billy Herman, Billy Jurges, and Stanley Hack never were positive what would happen on hurried throws. The result was that they did not complete as many tight plays as they should have.
 Now. after fielding the ball, or pivoting on a double play, they simply fire away, knowing that Col hns will pick up or get his hands on the pellet some way.
 Grimm has about given up on Cavarreta. Small hands handicap the boy wonder of 1885 in the field, and he no longer looks like a major league hitter. He failed dismally after 6 promising start in the out- field this spring.
 Trained observers who have watched the Cubs daily suspect that Cavarretta would have fared bet- ter had he been given bit of guid- ance by Herman.
 Herman let the youngster go 1t alone, but the instant Hack was shifted to first base, the shouted instructions of the second baseman could be heard in the upper tiers of the stands.
 Everything Has Happened to Cubs
 Although he has not batted as consistently or as hard as he did when he topped the loop in extra base hits as a Cardinal in 1884, Col- lins has strengthened the Cubs att tack.
 In addition to that, he is one of the finest team men in the game. and has dispelled the dissatisfaction that existed while Grimm was try- ing to make something of Cayarreta.
 Joe Marty's arrival as a center welder bolstered the Cubs no lite Ne, not only because they needed a niddle man in the outfield, but be-
 aHBe little Augie Galan regained M AAride in left field.
 CAian never has learned to play hitters, and a left fielder either does CT he doesn't' Galan made

Lee Wiley has stepped forward to confound the theorists who claim that our modern swing stems from the native dance music of Africa. Miss Wiley, whose mother is . Cherokee Indian, believes that the American Indian and his tribal music were the source of swing. She points out that there are four beats to each bar of Indian music just as there are in the bars of the more modern compositions. Also, notes Miss Wiley, the present dancing modes have evolved from the square
