THAT IS GREAT
LAUGH IN CINCY
BY JOHN FRYE
AP Feature Service

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Aug. 21.--
It's all cut and dried here now, the
Reds are in and the only question
is. do we win the first World
Series game with Walters or Der
ringer, or should we let Gene
Thompson do it?"
Speak NOT of Pittsburgh, where
there are tickets still available for
the series they didn't play That
means nothing to Joe Fan-in-the-
street, who knows only that the
Queen City of the West has sprout-
ed a crop of 20-year wonders.
Speak NOT of linking the TEEN
the Reds front office has spoken
of that day after day and no one
pays, any attention. Joe Fan-in-
the-street only knows that he has
waited 20 long years for a team
like this, 20 long years since Pat
Moran brought home the bacon.
Speak not Of the letdown If
anything goes wrong, for If you
do you're liable to have an aw-
full time putting yourself to-
gether again. A doubling Thorn
as in a year like this lives
hunted life here.
Speak NOT of slumps, for during
the Reds worst hitting slump this
year they passed the man in the
moon in the standings.
Pitchers Off, Hitters On
Speak NOT of firing pitchers, for
when Cincinnati pitchers tire Gin
cinnati batters rage and rain hits
all over the landscapes of eight
cities.
= Speak NOT of injuries, for with
smuggling wal Goodman out most
of July and Ernie lombard out part
of it, the Reds won % and lost but

his third 10-round engagement
IT have fought many 10 round
ers since that fight says Pastor.
Bob also points to his inexperi-
ence in 1887 and claims to have
improved 100 percent"
Also, Pastor will carry more
weight into the ring this time. In
his first bout with Louis the ex-
New York University footballer
weighed l79 pounds. His fighting
weight now is around 100, which
means he will be outweighed by
not more than 10 or IL pounds.
-Four Punches and Okay
I'm that first fight Joe hit me
solidly four times and 1 took the
punches in good shape" Pastor
says. That's more than most of
Louis opponents have been able
to do and majority OF them we're
groggy after one punch"
Pastor did his preliminary train
ing at Saratoga, NJ Y, and APP
peared August 20 at his Michigan
camp. Louis is following custom
and is at his camp at Stevensville,
Mich.
Like Pastor, he will move to, a
camp near Detroit at once.
Meanwhile, plans for converting
Briggs Stadium. the home of the
Detroit Tigers. into a boxing arena
have been completed by Lionel
Levy, architect for Promoter Mi
chael Strauss Jacobs. The park viii
seat 10000 for the fight.

ELkS MOVE
into FIRST
PLACE TIE
Russell Lets Moose Down
with Two Hits in Sum
day Encounter

Just a few minutes Sufficed, last
evening, for the rampant Elks ball
team to blast the Moose nine out of
any further chance at the second
half Channel League title.
Enenberg and Bell, leading off for
the Elks in the last of the first
chukker, accounted for the first OF
three Purple markers and left the
Paps behind the eight ball all
through seven shutout innings as
the B. P. o. Els moved into tie
for the lead with the Douglas Island
ers
just too wild for the Moose clout-
ers to toe-in against him, but not
quite too wild to put them in there
in the clutches, Red Russell proved
too much pitcher for the Black Sox,
holding them to a pair of safeties
through the battle. On two occas-
ions, lack of control led Russell to
move some Moose into scoring posi-
ton, but they never were able to
work far enough around to count.
Moose Blow Chance
The Moose blew their big OPP
portunity in the abbreviated Sun
day contest when a double-steal at
tempt fizzled, and with two down
Kelly Blake was nipped between
third and the home station.
Opening with a three-bagger, Ell
lenberg crossed with the first Elk
run almost Immediately afterward,
counting on Bells in field out.
Though scoreless in the second in
ming, the Elks hit Moose Hurler
Lefty Smith with freedom and gus
to and belted him to the bench in
the third when Bob Waldron spank
ed high outside cripple over the
fence with Ellenberg clompin g
around the paths ahead of him.
Roy Sogaard then took over the
mound for the Moose fr o m the
fourth frame on and the Paps were
no longer annoyed by Elk runners
on the bases.
The game was called with few
hours notice owing to the rift in
the weather.

20 GROUNDS
GIVEN 0KAY
That Is indication Between
Tough Guy and
Pastor
by DALE STAFFORD
AP Feature Service

DETROIT. Aug. 10. - Anything
can happen in horse race-or in
boxing and it may be that the
customers who put out from 50 to
$27.50 to watch Heavyweight Cham
pion Joe Louis fight Bob Pastor
September 20 will get more action
for their money than any ring
crowd in IS years.
The championship fight, Detroit's
first by the way, is scheduled for
20 rounds, the first title 50 OF this
length to be arranged since Jack
Dempsey won the title from big
jess Willard at Toledo in 1919.
That fight ended at the close of
the third round so the 20-rouad
feature was no bargain.
The last heavyweight champion
ship to last more than Is rounds
was the bout at Havana on April
S, 1915, in which Willard lifted the
title from Jack Johnson by a
knockout in the Goth.
They Aren't Worried
Both Louis and Pastor are UNI
impressed by the 20-round phase.
Il don't care if it's 20 rounds or
SO because I'll set my own limit
this time" says Joe, who is still
peeved because Pastor stayed the
full 10 rounds with him on Janu-
airy 81 1887.
I'm in shape all the time and
although I've never gone 20 rounds
know that l can" says Pastor,
who isn't visibly afraid of h e
champion.
Pastor may be like the proverbial
gent who whistled in the graveyard
but he talks great fight and his
reasoning does not sound illogical.
First, Pastor points to the fact
that when he met Louis the first
time he had engaged in only %
fights and was appearing in only

Grafton. said a conference with P.
w. A. officials developed the follow
ing plans: First, dismissal of IS
September Is, another IS on Novem-
Der Is. third group on February
and a final group May Is; or, sec
ond, layoff of all $50 as of April /,
1910.
Staff Efficiency Kept.
The federation membership favor
ed the second plan because it gave
the men added notice to seek other
employment and because the eff
cheney of the staff would be main
tained, since the department would
not have to revamp its technical
staff.
The Executive Committe of the
federation decided, however, to con-
fer with P. w. A. officials, probably
Monday, on other possible courses
of action.
1t was explained today that rules
OF seniority no doubt will play a
guiding part in the "furloughing"
after September /, and individual
efflclency also will be taken into con-
slderatlon. There are large num-
Der OF war veterans on the Nation
wide P. w. A. force, men who have
a privileged status under the law.
1t was probable that these would be
passed over, at least during the in
ltial stage OF reduction, provided
their work records are satisfactory.
