For the nustling championship OF

and grit has blossomed into one OF

outfielders.
With "5 fer 5" perfect day at

to the National league batting lead
ership with a percentage Of .425
Arnoviehs usty hitting helped the
Phillies beat the Pirates, 7-3.
There Is no more determined
player in baseball than Arnovich.
Hustling for a last-place club
through i54 game schedule isn't
often done. but Arnoyich has never
pulled up since he joined the PhilS
in 1896 Alnovich makes few
mistakes but nobody yet has caught
him failing to try every minute
he's on The ball field.
Arnoyichs hitting and hustling
is one of the main reasons why
the Phillies. despite the fact that
they are tied with the Pirates for
seventh place. are only 81 games
from the National league lead.
They've won 10 out of % and every
time they come home in front
everybody wonders how they do it.

Rv HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, May l8. eUP)-
Even if Mr.. Chamberlain and his
umbrella have to be pressed into
service, those two weary plodderS
of the comeback trail, Make Baer
and Jimmy Braddock, must be ap-
peased before their feud develops
into fight.
Right now Baer and Braddock
are digging deep into their almost
limitless supply of unsayory cpl
thets and hurting same at one an
other with an abandon neither ever
showed with his fists.
Up at Ferndale, where Baer is
training for his fight with Lou
Nova, visitors stick close TO their
rooms lest they be struck by fly
ing "bum!" or a ricocheting rat
and in his mountain faStness Brad
dock is tinting the hills a deeper
blue with the choice Of words he
uses in reply TO Baer.
Everyone is desperately afraid
that these harsh words will lead TO
something more and that Baer and
Braddock, in fit of madness, will
start fighting This must not be
allowed to happen. This country
suffered through one fight between
Make and Jimmy and while that
was four full years ago, it was not
sufficiently recovered to undergo
another. There have been worse
fights. perhaps but no one has ever
been bold enough TO step forward
and claim he saw one of them.
For fifteen rounds Make and
Jimmy went through a routine that
was a cross between a Viennese
waltz without music and two ell
derly butterfly collectors gathering
specimens. Not a blow of sufficient
force to bruise a spiders web was
struck. I have heard that the mo-
ton picture film of this fight has
been placed in the worlds fair

time capsule to prove to the citi-
zens of 5000 years hence that we
of 1885 we're a quiet, peace-loving
folk who frowned on the mildeSt
sort of brutality.
The feud between Make and
Jimmy is a rather silly thing. 1t
started when Braddock voluntarily
joined Nova's camp for the purpose
of acquainting the California
youngster with Baers style. Baer
branded this as unfair, why don't
know Certainly his style of fight
ing, if it can be called that is no
secret 1t has been used in bar
rooms and on street corners since
the invention of alcoholic spirits
and highway intersections. Make
fights exactly as the first cave
man must have fought. He en-
ploys about as much deceit as there
is in wooden leg.
If Braddock had not volunteered
to point out Baer's tactics to Nova
the Californian could have gained
the same information by locking
himself in a phone booth and slam
ming and butting and kicking his
way out. Because that is the way
Baer fights. That is, when his op-
ponent is man he doesn't fear
Put him in there against a fellow
he knows can knock his head off
with punch louis for example)
and his style is reminiscent of a
turtle. He crawls in the shell form
ed by his arms and shoulders and,
making few if any aggressive ges-
lures, waits for the worst to happen.
But he isn't afraid of Nova. He
considers him a young punk and
knows he can't hit very hard. AS
a result, he will charge into Lou.
And that's why Baer, none too
young, none too spry, stands a
good chance TO win. He's heller
when he isn't afraid, and not timid
about throwing that cobblestone
that serves him for a right hand.
