The V A Y OFF

Louis can take a punch too well, but fighting the kind of a fight that he turned in against Brad dock he won't be required to take too many punches.
 And not even Joe Grimm could stand up under as many rights as Schmeling pumped against Louis dental work.
 Liked Getting Up
 Louis declared that the biggest thing he got out of the fight was getting up to win after being knock ed down.
 i've always wanted to do that, " he beamed.
 And a new confidence in his ability to withstand resounding whack on the whiskers must have come to him when he arose from the deck in that first round.
 Also new confidence in his ability to stretch an opponent with a single punch must have come to him when he finally polished off BraddOck.
 The right cross to the chin that ended the Cinderella Man actually knocked the feet out from under him. He didn't move muscle, and hi shead wasn't clear for 15 min- utes.
 I chucked dejected Louis under the chin as he stood with his head down in the dressing room after the Schmeling smelling.
 Get that head up," I said to him. Why, you're going to be champion"
 You were right. MT. Harry smiled Louis, as he was being smothered by reporters and cam eramen in the White Sox dressing room the other night.
 Yes, am quite sure that Joe Louis got vastly more out of the Schmeling scrap than a pasting.

SOFTER BASES
 FOR
 BASEBALL GAME
Hartford Inventor Had Comfort of Poor Players
 in Mind for Long Time
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN Limited Press Staff Correspondent

1 BY FREDEhACA C. OlHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, June 25.-(UP).- What this country long has needed is an upholstered first base to ease the weary bodies of baseball play CTS.
 It also has needed padded second bases, down. filled third bases and, especially, inner-spring home plates, because if ever baseballer wants a place to rest it's after he's gall loped from first to second to third to home, with balls whizzing around his head, spiked shoes impeding his progress, and nothing to lure him on but an extra hard place on which to fall.
 These four great American needs, becoming progressively greater, with each lap around the diamond, were satisfied today by Herbert E.. Orefice of Hartford, Conn. With rare understanding of what goes on inside a baseball players head, he provided the first real improvement in 30 years of baseball history. :.
 MT. Orefice is the inventor of patent number ,775-the up- holStered baseball base!
 1 The big trouble with baseball all these years has been that the home team never made enough runs. Even when it won. the score could have been bigger. There was reason for this phenomenon and Mir. Orefice. single-handed, discovered it.
 He found the answer, which had eluded many a baseball maglate since the turn of the century-m the ubiquitous sand bag, which has no sand in it, but something harder.
 Wherever the great American game was played, Mr. Orefice learsl-- ed that there was d Sandless sand bag on first base, ditto on second. another on third, and slab of hard rubber on the home plate.
 The batters, he observed, nearly always struck out. but once in a while they'd hit the ball and run like all-get~out to first base, where they'd fall down and bruise them selves on that sand bag. Many a time MT. Orefice observed that a player never reached first base. He was scared of that bag of whatever it-is.
 A few sturdy ones, unmindful Of cuts and contusions, progressed on to second base for another tussle with a sand bag. Occasionally a I player would limp al lthe way to third base, where the third bag turned him into a limp caricature of a man.
 There he would wait for the dash to home, and in his mind would be a vision of himself sliding, face first, across that chunk of hard rubber. That was no happy prospect for a man who already was a physical wreck. It accounted for a lot of runs that never showed on the score board.
 To his laboratory went MT. Ore- | flee and from it he emerged soon thereafter with the worlds first cushioned baseball base. It can be anchored securely to the ground, so that no comfort-loving baseball fan will swipe it for use as a pil- low at home.
 This upholstered base is square, soft, springy, downy, and of tex ture soothing to the human frame. It is designed to make stumbling over first pleasure, bouncing into second joy, skidding onto third dream. and sliding home a positive delight.

EXPERTS EXPECT
 PHOTO FINISH OF BOAT RACE
Yale and Harvard Crews Very Even in Class;
 Varsity Race at 7:l5
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New London, Conn.,, June 25-- This old whaling town was knee deep in tradition today. Yale and Harvard will paddle down the river Thames tonight in the 18th renewal of their time-honored boat race the oldest intercollegiate sporting event in America.
 A crowd of some 60,000 will at tend the regatta, inaugurated in 1852, for the social as well as the sporting event in America.
 It is annually one of the ritziest, richest sporting crowds this coun- try produces. Billions of dollars worth of yachts, cruisers and pleas ure craft anchor on the blue waters of the Thames, and on them are representatives of Americas richest families.
 The regatta gets under way at 10 a. m. (edt) when the freshmen row tw miles. Thitry minutes later the junior varsities will row a two-mile race. After that there will be long wait until the varsity race at 7:15 D. m. Between races there will be ample time for afternoon tea and other social amenities.
 All races will be rowed upstream. The weather forecast is for over cast skies.
 For change the eight-oared var sity race may turn out to be the years maritime high spot. The eX- pertS expect photo finish" Any nothing like Washington's "rout' at Pourhkeepsie is in prospect.
 The records indicate one of the closest races ill Yale Harvard his ory.
 Yale-undefeated Defeated Cor nell by six seconds, Princeton by two seconds and Pennsylvania by six seconds. Best time trial, 20:06, (doWn- stream.
 Harvard-Lost only to Navy sec- ond to Washington at Poughkeep- sic. Defeated Cornell by six sec onds, Princeton by three seconds, and Pennsylvania by two seconds Best time trials, 20:08 (down stream).
 Tom Bolles, the Harvard coach who is in his first year at Cam bridge after three successful sea- sons coaching the Washington freshmen, expects a nip and tuck race.
 Harvard has a good crew and so has Yale" he said.
 Ed Leader, Yale coach since 1922 and also a former Washington man, won't say anything. When the scribes call on him he's either sleeping or resting.
 The crowd will be the largest in 10 years. The two observation trains comprise 57 cars in comparison to the 15-car train at Poughkeepsie.
 Among the distinguished specta- tors will be Ethel Du Pont, engaged to Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., son of the president. He would be rowing in the Harvard varsity according to Coach Bolles, except for the siege of sinus that laid him low last winter

USE OF JARLETT MAY BE BASIS
 OF COMPLAINT
Errors, Arguments and Free-fOr-AII OVerShOW
 Baseball Play
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

In one of the worlds worst ex- hibitionS of the national paStime, North End Thomas club won their way into a full game lead in the City Amateur League by a 6 to 5 decision over the Sacred Hearts last evening at Hamilton park. Mickey Fills error, one of three made by the Hearts let in the winning run in the ninth inning, but not before half dozen arguments, one of them of ten minutes duration before the first ball was pitched, and topped of by a jolly free for all, had the fans, players, umpires and police on edge throughout the long, drawn-out struggle which was a half hour late in starting and just beat darkness by an eyelash.
 And may be it's not over yet. An after the game angle developed from Manager Ray Tram of the Sacred Hearts who may protest the use by the Tommies of Al Jarlett, the Holy Cross pitcher signed by the Boston Red Sox last Wednes- day, and supposedly ineligible to play in the City Amateur League, under its rules and regulations-or something.
 TOmmies Best
 Unquestionable is the fact that the Thomas club deserved to win, for they outhit, outplayed and were quite superior in all departments of the game with the possible ex- ception of arguments, an early 40 lead keeping them very respectful and temporarily unworried. The Hearts played grammar school base ball of grade B type, while the Tom mics needed Jarlett's pitching in the worst way, after Mandy Green was knocked out in four run rally which put the defending champions one run up until the eighth inning, when the Tommies tied the count and then won out in the ninth on sharp hit by Jasilunas to Fill, Shaw scoring when the Heart Short- stop juggled the ball badly.
 Short Work
 Walter Malns, the starting pitch CT for the Hearts lasted less than three innings when left handed Charley keeley came Ill and was doing a grand job despite miserable support, including boot at second base by imported Bobby Tucker that allowed two runs to score
 Aside from Jarlett's pitching the field work of Johnny Devito was a great help to the Tommies, while Bill Flanagan's centerfield catches kept the Hearts in the ball game while Everett Murphy turned in catching and hitting job that was one of the few bright spots the Hearts showed, taking himself out in the ninth inning when a run ner reached first base. Keeley was charged with the loss, which was tough one against him under the conditions.
 The teams meet again Sunday in the feature game.

CongratS to Jim Phalen of Mill Plain for win ming the hundred gallons of gaso- line. Also to the school kids for winning the Parochial League championship. Ray Hughes is
 looking forward to his promotion tc center field, now that he has made the grade in right. It does seem unfair to class good player like he is with the rest of the right fielders. Mike German was s-o-o-o-o tired the other night that he had to rest on third base. :. Vim Coates is the most improved ball player in the league. !. Wednesday night he dropped only 5. Bill Donovan, Russ Bolger, and Mike Germia have been added to the strikeout club roster. :. Jackie Slavin will certainly have to learn to throw them over to first base. Elmer YoungquiSt has grown two inches reaching for the high ones that Jackie toSSeS. :. Jimmie Sheehan has played every position on Ray Wrenn's team; Jimmie claims he can boot them just as well on third base as he can in center field. Since the league passed the new rule barring spitballers, Tommie Leonard has been switched from the mound to second base. Robbie Miller and Red Delahanty both play with the Robins in the Washington Park Community League, but they use assumed names so the rest of the teams in that league won't realize where the Robins get all their classy material. .
