McKechnie Content to Laud
Wander Nicer, Mccormick,
Craft for Climb.
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK. June 22.-There may
be dancing in the streets Of Cincinnati
and mass cheering by the experts, but
Deacon Bill McKecknie, the wise and
wary manager of the econd-place
Reds, isn't even thinking about the
National League pennant. Q
Sure the club Is improved" said
Bill yesterday just after his boys had
cuffed the Giants around 6 to 2, and
sliced the New York league lead to a
game and a half, you can't add a
pitcher like Johnny Wander Nicer, a
first baseman like Buck Mccormick
and an outfielder like Harry Craft to a
club and expect 1t to slump. They are
real ballplayers.
Not Even Thinking Pennant.
But I'm not thinking pennant. We
want the club up in the fight and I
don't think We can miss that. And in
a wide open race anything can hap
pen. Oh. we'll be up there, but I don't
want the boys too confident"
Which seemed to indicate the deacon
isn't SO far from pennant thoughts at
that. Where did he think his team
had improved most?
We'll. I'm high on Mccormick.
don't see how he can miss the first
base job in the all-star game. Hitting
like go and playing a swell game in
the field. He's god now and he'll be
better"
About the Reds outfield, peopled by
the speedy Craft. the equally fast
Dusty Cooke and two hard hftters,
1val Goodman and Wally Berger.
You fellows don't give that Craft
his due" said Bill with some heat, "he
can go and get 'em and he's starting
to hit the apple. I'm glad to have
Berger playing for me. too. He always
hit well for me in Boston and I think
he'll do as we'll. here Goodman and
Cooke have both improved tremen-
dously, too"
No Wander Nicer Hocuspocus.
Nov don't ask me about Wander
Meer." continued the deacon. Hes
just fine young pitcher at the start
Of an unusually bright career. I don't
know about any hocuspocus that made
him into great pitcher
The boys in the dugouts were saying
that Ernie Lombardi was ripping
down the fences on his way back.
Where's he been?" inquired Bill.
Seems to me he's always been a
pretty valuable citizen. He's hitting
and he's catching. Don't forget he
handled both those no-hit games of
Wander Meers like a master and
picked couple of guys off base"

(Jun0 22, 1030.)

With the Maryland trout season
closing in little more than q week, It
1t time to look back and see what
happened. Nothing much. Trout fish
ing recently in the Free State has
been nothing to brag about. About
10000 fish were stocked by the State
and dividing that up among the a.
600 license holders gives something less
than four fish per angler.
OF course, every one with a license
does not go trout fishing, and there
are native fish already in the streams
to bring up the total number of trout
caught, but in spite of that Maryland
cannot take its place along with the
other States, notably Pennsylvania in
the East, which count their stockings
in millions.
Pennsylvania has taken q
lead in the matter Of benefits to
anglers which Maryland and
Virginia, too, would do we'll to
follow.
The Spring Greek project near Belle
fonte is case in point. Two miles Of
trout water located nearly in the CEN
ter Of the State have been improved
and made into model stream. This
stretch Of water is heavily stocked
with legal and above legal fish. Each
license holder in the State is allowed
total of five days on Spring Creek.
Fishing Is Controlled.
Artificial flies with barbless hooks
only may be used and this means no
spinners. Fishing is not permitted at
night or on Sunday. Ten trout a day
may be caught, but only two may be
killed and kept. Those are the prin-
cipal rules. And how have they been
accepted and how do they work.
Thousands of anglers fished
Spring Creek this season, doing
it for the sport rather than the
total kill, and still plenty of fish
remain.
1t offers some Of the best public fish,
ing in the East and easily is one OF the
most heavily fished, yet the fish do
not desert to the other unprotected
parts Of the stream because they are
provided with a clean home and
plenty Of food near Bellefonte.

FIGHTS THAT MADE HsToRY-12
LOUIS Conquered by Schme|ing>
Blasts Braddock k in Title Fiqht
BY DILLON GRAHAM,

Associated Press Feature Service Writer.
Joe Louis, a Merge whose terrific
punching produced long string of
quick knockouts and made him one
of the sensations of boxing history,
blasted James j. Braddock senseless to
win the championship in June, 1887.
Only three years out Of the amateur
ranks, Louis blazed fast trail to the
title. So easily did he remove his
foes with devastating blows that
legend of invincibility was built around
him. Here was a super fighter and
many of his opponents were frightened
into defeat before they stepped into
the ring He bowled over two former
champions, Primo Carnera and Max
Baer, but lost to another, Max Schme-
ling, before he beat Braddock.
The champion, former New Jersey
dock-hand with game Irish heart
and fair punch of his own. had no
fear, moved out to trade wallops with
the Brown Bomber and had Louis on
the floor in the first round. And S.
600 in the Chicago White Sox ball
yard voiced the only cheer they had
cause to give Jim during the fight
The slow, comparatively aged Brad
dock, ring rusty after two years of
idleneSs, was no match for the faster
Negro who carried such power in both
fists.
Braddock floored Louis with short
right uppercut and Joe landed on all
fours. The Negro was up without a
count and unloosed a savage assault.
For seven rounds he pummeled Brad
dock. drawing blood from his mouth
and nose, cutting him badly But he
couldn't drop Jim Braddock was weary

CINCINNATI ROUTS
HUBBELL TO GAIN

BY BILL BONI.


Instead of the subway series" that
seemed 50 likely when the big league
firing started in April, this falls big
show Of baseball may be an all-Ohio
proposition
The Cleveland Indians who ham,

Just a game and half behind the
National League-leading Giants and
can jump that gap by taking the two
remaining games of their series with
Terry's Terriers.
It's not such a long shot, either
The Giants. struggling along minus
Lead-off Man Joe Moore and with a
revamped lineup, have dropped their
last three starts. The Reds. on the
other hand, are riding a streak in
which they have lost only 3 out Of
IA games and have zoomed out of the
second division into second place.
Weaver Outpitches Hubbell.
They weren't fooling when they
teed off on Hubbell, either. The
southpaw screwballer, making his
third unsuccessful attempt for his
20oth big league victory, was belted
for a pair of homers and three runs
in the third. and four hits and three
more runs in the seventh. Five OF
the Reds seven safeties off the Hub
went for extra bases. including
four batter and triple by Ival
Goodman.
Meanwhile Big Jim Weaver was
balancing the heavy artillery with
some fancy four-hit pitching, When
he threatened to lose control OF the
situation, Bucky Walters took charge
and didn't allow hit the rest of the
way.
But the Reds harsh treatment Of
Hubbell and the Indians l4-hit as
saMt on Yankee Red Rufflng wasn't
all of the days fireworks.
In Detroit Frank CPinky) Higgins
wrote a new chapter into baseball's
book of big league records and at the

The buffers" tourney will
bring the major cup season to
an end for the spring months.
The girls will take up again in Sep
tember and to dismiss it all with the
remark that the season has been a
success would be not only trite but in
adequate. Even Mrs Ralph w. Payne,
president of the Womens Association,
to whom much of the credit for the
concentrated organization work must
go, is surprised by the interest shown
by the feminine golfers this year. Il
don't know just how many are on our
list now, but it must be well over
600," she says We had we'll over
500 handicap cards last year and the
growth this year has been tremen-
dous''
Back around 1884, when Elizabeth
c. Harris. one of the more prominent
feminine barristers of the town, head
ed the women's links organization, she
looked at couple Of perspiring gals
struggling up the hill at the eight
eenth at Congressional and remarked:
There is the backbone of our organi-
zation. And what do they get? They
don't win prizes. but they play in our
tournaments religiously, turning in
scores that look like the national debt,
and all they get is exercise I'm going
to see that something is done for
them"
Out of that thought came the
buffers tourney, limited to
women with handicaps of 16 or
more. with a special fight for
the lower handicap gals. who
cannot figure in the main
award.
How popular this affair is you can
figure by looking at the entry list
elsewhere in The Star today You'll
see names in that buffers tourney
list you won't see in any other affair
dominated by the Browns, the Dett-
weilers and the Meckleys.
Fifth Major Tourney.
But the most remarkable phase of
it all is the spectacular growth of the
feminine links organization. The
coming tourney will be the fifth major
cup affair this year. In between,
they've had the Maryland and District
championships, a couple of inter-
city team matches and just to keep
them from dying of ennui they've
gone through rigorous schedule Of
club team matches.
The wonder is they have time
to get a marcel, and to fix hub
by's dinner-if they do.
Maybe, now that it's all about to
end for the early season. the bubbles
will be glad of it all But the gals
won't. They like it, and want more
