Continued from First Sport Page)
and you could name others by the
score.
You've read of Babe Adams Of
the Pirates and thrilled to the tale
of his victories over the Detroit
Tigers in 1909. But Babe Adams
was turned back to the minors for
seasoning, and then came on to
win everlasting glory on the dia-
mond. He was a real pitcher.
And since you might like to hear
of a few of baseball'S immortals,
there was a pitcher named Nor
decai Brown; sure, Three Fin
gered" Brown of the Chicago
Cubs. Well, before the Cubs took
him and developed him, the St
Louis Cardinals owned him. Now
when the Cards let the miner go,
they just passed up a gold mine.
Matty Was Rival
"Three Fingered" Brown had a
great rival in the old days when
baseball was a rugged, round and
ready sport. His name was Christy
MathewSon. Sure, pitched for the
Giants, and made the unmatched
record OF three Shutout victories
in the world series of 1905.
When Matty reported to the
Giants, he was shipped off to
Norfolk, and then, upon being re-
called, was informed by Horace
Fogel that since he'd never make
a pitcher, he'd better learn how
to play first base. You see, Matty
was a real good hitter, and Fogel
didn't want to waste visible abil-
ity while developing latent ability.
One of these days a story is
going to be written about Bob
Teller that will set forth all of
his virtues. He is just a kid
with a world of stuff. If he
isn't exploited to the limit-he's
close to it noW-he should come
on and star. He has the arm
and the stuff. What he needs
is experience, and only time will
give MIN that.
No Comfort
Not even the champions are
free from worries and woes.
Johnny Broaca, highlander of
the Yankees stands suspended
today and fined $500 for alleged
desertlon Of the club.
Well, if Broaca did desert, he
did not give comfort to the
enemy. The only way he could
do that is by remaining with the
team and pitching.
Broaca is a strong willed sort
OF kid. He refused to pitch an
exhibition game while at Yale
and got into some sort of
trouble. But he did get a
diploma at Yale, and that is
even more important than a
pitching record.

if my man williams can beat
Steele tonight, it's going to
take a hell of an argument to
convince me the Hobo amt the
champ"
From that point on it developed
that the Hobo has been doing
roadwork until his neck ached =
/ the old roadwork by which the
FitzsimmonSes and CorbettS and
DempseyS, to say nothing OF
KetchellS and LeonardS used lay
such great store; the old roadwork
which, if you please. has come to
be almost lost art in modern
training methods.
Slept On Roof
It also developed that Groves
and williams have been beating
the heat by taking their cots and
sleeping on the roof of Groves
house-having, as Harry said, no
fancy training camp where his
fighter might be lulled to sleep of
nights by the rustling of leaves
before a sylvan breeze.
And Hobos diet, which previ-
ously has given him trouble, has
been solved this time, assures his
manager, who becomes warmed to
his subject by now, not so much
by himself as by Mrs. Groves, who
has been doing the cooking for
Hobo Williams so he might come
up to his biggest opportunity nour-
iShed to a nice nut-brown.
And in the gymnasium, Groves
has seen that Williams had the
proper rations in the way Of spar
ring partners.
Good Spar Mates
There have been Matte Brown.
the heavyweight, to furnish rugged
competition; Mickey Flanagan for
sharp boxing and Ell Brookman
and Billy Bullock for speed.
"ShuckS," says Groves, "bring
him on. 1 don't think Steel is
any rOugher than Matte Brown.
II don't think he's any better
a puncher than Eddie Nader
nor any cutter than Ken Overlin,
and certainly Williams has held
his own with three of these in
real fights and taken everything
Brown and Overlin had in the
gym"
"Naw, don't sell my man
short tonight" concluded Harry,
"'cause he's got a style all his
own and is a tough man in any
ring!"

BY the Associated Press
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion approved today a $4,000 900 pas
senger fare increase for Western rail-
roads. The increase will become ef-
fective in 10 days.

fected by the increase are Union Pa
cific, Northern Pacific, Minneapolis,

CREECH JURY GETS
CASE LATE TODAY
Hears Closing Arguments
in Harlan Mine Boss
Perjury Trial.

Describing Ted Creech as "a liar
who tells the truth only when it slips
out" Assistant United States Attor-
ney David A. Pine today asked Dis
trict Court jury to find the Harlan
County (Ky) coal mine superintendent
guilty of perjury.
Creech was indicted on a complaint
that he testified falsely before the La
Toilette Civil Liberties Committee
when that body was investigating
labor conditions in Harlan County last
April.
In making his closing plea to the
jury, Mr.. Pine attacked the veracity
OF defense witnesses as well as that of
the defendant.
Defense Attorney William E. Ieahv
replied in similar vein. assailing the
principal prosecution witness. Richard
G. Tackett. as a confessed perjurer
who would rather lie than tell the
truth"
Referring to a conversation between
Tackett and himself at the Senate
Office Building on April Is, Creech
told the Senate committee Tackett
told him "he came up here, got drunk,
and messed himself up" Tackett
denied making such a statement. and
this discrepancy in testimony resulted
IN the perjury charge against the de-
fendant.
The case will be submitted to the
jury this afternoon by Trial Justice
Joseph w. Cox.
