"Black Mike," DisilluSiOned, to Rest on Ranch

Detroit, Aug. 8-(UP)-If Mickey Cochrane ever return ta baseball, he hopes it will not be as manager. He said today, as he prepared to take his family for a vacation in wyoming, that he has lost interest in being a major league pilot.
 If those things can happen to you" he said, then that kind of job is not for me-"
 He referred to his removal as manager of the Detroit Tigers Sat- urday night after his club had dropped four games in faw. Black Mike, leader of the Bengals since 1884, was succeeded by his coach, Del Baker.
 Visiting Briggs stadium yesterday Cochrane packed his uniform, clear ed his desk for his successor and said goodbye to Baker and the Tigers. Then, unhampered by baseball rules, he went over to the dressing room of the Bost Red Sox for a chat with Manager Joe Cronin and mem- bers of his club.
 Hardly
 There has been talk that Mickeyy has his eyes on a job with the Red Sox. It is known that he is we'll liked by Owner Tom Yawkey, and hailing from Massachusetts, Coch- rane Is favorite of Boston fans, It was not likely, however, that Cochrane would succeed Cronin for Joe has kept the Red Sox we'll up in the American League race this season and still has another year to go on the five-year contract he signed in 1885.
 As Mickey shook hands with the ! Tigers he led the league pennants l7934 and 1895 and to the worlds championship in 1885. his eyes were moist. With half-grin, he spoke few words. He said there would be no baseball for him for some time. He plans to leave tomorrow for a ranch near Cody, Wyo.
 In his first day as manager in his own right, Baker, who led the Tigers in the absence of Cochrane in 1886 and last year, saw the Ben- streak yesterday by stopping the Red gals snap their four-game losing Sox in the final game of the series, 2 to 3.
 q am sorry to see Mike go," Baker said.
 He was one of the swellest fellows ever worked with. At the same time, hope can justify the con- l fidence Owner Walter Briggs has placed in me. I'll give lem the best I've got"
 No Changes
 The new manager, veteran of 25 years in baseball, said he would make no radical changes at the out set He indicated he would try things "as they are" for a while and begin thinking ahead toward next season. The Tigers, in second di- vision most of the year. are IT games behind the league-leading New York Yankees and apparently out of the 1888 race.
 Baker came to Detroit after man aging Beaumont. the Tiger farm i club in the Texas league. He is recognized as a great teacher. One of the greatest stars he ever de- veloped was Schoolboy Rowe, the pitcher who helped the Tigers win the flag in 1894 and 1885.

HOUL|HAN AND
 TURCOTTE IN
 RETURN BATTLE
Irish-American Fighters Here Again-Stevens to
 Show on UnderCard

With the first five rows ringside sold and extra seating capacity in- stalled for another bumper crop of boxing fans, Waterbury A.C. officials were figuring on a new attendance record to be set up Thursday night when Dick Turcotte makes his sec- ond bid against Danny Houlihan of Newark, the boy who got of the floor a few weeks back to win the first decision that has been scored over Turcotte since he lost his title to stable-mate Tommy .Ciarlo, a year ago.
 Danny Got Break
 Local fans feel that Turcotte did not get any the best of the decision when the referee declared Houlihan the winner because of third round rally that had the local lad in a bad way. That is why most of them feel that Turcotte will at least out point Houlihan if not stop him ifl- side the three round limit. Since last meeting the fighting French man, Houlihan has defeated the junior national lightweight champ, in Baltimore bout, according to word received here.
 Other Bouts
 Al Stevens, the local heavyweight, groomed by Dave Kelly, will also be seen in action again. He looked good two weeks ago in beating Joe Wal ich in his first ring appearance. Frank Corrigan, Mickey O"Toole and Pat O'Reilly, all Irish-American fighters from Newark will be billed against Billy Perrin of Bristol; Joe Rossi of Naugatuck and another good boy. Joe Stire and Jackie Per- rin are to do their stuff in other preliminary bouts.

DOUBLE CHAMP STEADY } TO 1
 PICK TO CLICK
Armstrong Backers Bet SLIGO to $l,OOO He
 Will Stop Ambers

New York, Aug. 8.-UP)-Pro- motez Mike Jacobs predicted today that at least 10000 persons would pay $l00,OOO or more to see Henry Armstrong, feather -welter champion of the world, go after Lou h..noer's s lightweight crown at the Polo Grounds Wednesday night.
 Conservative estimates, however, pared those figures down to 16,000 or 17,000 and $75,000 to $ao,00o gate. Armstrong is a steady 3-1 favorite, to beat Ambers and be- come the first man in pugilistic his- tory to hold three recognized titles.
 Eddie Armstrongs manager, and Al Jolson, his sponsor, have bet $1 100 to $1,000 that Lou wouldn't go the IS round distance.
 This was a complete reversal of Armstrongs attitude several days ago. He said then that Nobody was knocking out Ambers quick and that he was training to go the full route. Mead said that word from Ambers' camp had caused the change in opinion.
 Friends of mine watched Ambers workout Saturday and Sunday" he said. They tell me that he has tried to change his style. He is trying to be a slugger instead of a jumping jack. He has been rush. ing his sparing partners and punch ing like wild man. He cut his boys up a bit. and that's what he's going to do to Henry.
 He Is going to try to slug 1t out and he'll get knocked out. Before this sudden change in his training had figured he probably would last the distance because would back-pedal, dance about and try to outpoint Armstrong

TODANS SPORTAPARADE .b&#MhB!

 Bronx Zoo, New York, Aug. 8. UP)-Well, folks, it finally has happened
 My sport selections have at last made a monkey out of me, anc here I am in the Bronx Zoo, shar- ing a trapeZe and bunch of bana- mas with dozen or two of the finest chimps and orang- -outans this side of the South American jungles.
 I came up here last night after the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team picked to finish fourth or fifth in the National league, had increased their lead to six and one-half games by taking both ends of a double header from the Giants.
 If you were among the 50,000 GUS toners in the Polo Gro.nds when the latest out was made you know what happened. Without warning ] gave out a cry that would have made Tarzan jump and, stuffing a bag of peanuts in my pocket scrampered out on a rafter, and started swinging all over the place They finally trapped me on top oi the centerfield f1agpole and brought me here. I am not tremendously surprised because for years and years my selections have beer grooming me for young monkey hood. I didn't tell anyone about i' but when Armstrong licked Ross (after I had predicted an easy Wir for Barney) I could scarcely resist temptation to run right out of the bowl and climb a tree. And Wher Louis knocked out Schmeling in one round I spent the remainder Of the night atop a chandelier in my liv- ing room.
 The Pirates, l suppose, were tho final straw. Before the season started I believed all the bad things heard about them, and pickec them to finish no better than fifth Then to see them knock the bal out of the lot and field like magi' clans was just too much. With a! big lead as they now have they are all but cinch to win the pen nant, and so its just as well I start ed getting used to cage now as 1T late September.
 It isn't at all bad here in the zoo The cage has fifteen or twenty-wa. ventilation and the peanuts are To better than you get in the ballparks My cage mates are friendly ant interesting bunch. The chimp tha was teaching me tricks on thu trapeze this morning says he is iron South America. On orang-outar named Pete, who is held in higf respect because he is a nephew O. Gargantua and gets passes to th' circus, said not to believe the chimp though. That he wasn't real chimI at all and wasn't from South Amer ica, but was formerly Mobile sportswriter who picked Alabama tt win the Rose Bowl game this yea by score of 48 to o. Real name 1! Pate, said Pete.
 | Before the keeper assigned me { permanent perch and my own pine apple plate he wanted to know hoV figured the Armstrong Amber fight
 Be careful who you pick" thu keeper said, because 1t might mak' difference in how long you'll b' with us."
 T like Ambers," I said, executing delft double twist on the bars O the cage.
 You like who?"
 "Ambers," repeated. T thinl he'll win a decision"
 "I hope you like 1t here" h. answered sadly, because you'll b. here long, long time"
