Braddock Eyes
Comeback Trail
AS Funds w ne
BY ROBERT McSHANE

7 IMMY BRADDOCK, Cinderella
- man of the heavyweight ranks,
has decided to come out of retire
ment. This despite his withdrawal
from active competition several
months ago.
BraddOck has a good reason for
taking his gloves off the wall. It's
the same reason that prompted
Tony Canzoneri, Benny Leonard,
and the many others to get back
into the ring after their best fighting
days were over. He's short of
funds.
Joe Gould, Braddock's manager,
forced his retirement in the first
place. Gould intended to see to it
that his man quit before he absorbed
too much punishment. He didn't
want Jim changed from a likable
young man to a punch-drunk vet
eran of too many ring wars.
So Jim quit the ring and started
in the saloon business. Braddock's
Inn wasn't very much of a success.
In fact, it went down for the count
and $4,000. The 32-year-old former
heavyweight champ again ran into
financial troubles. That, of course,
couldn't be foreseen. Gould's inten-
tions were highly laudable.
Don't feel too sorry for Jim. Be-
ing broke isn't new experience to
him. When his fighting went bad a

Expensive Carcass

A MAJORITY of horse races on

ing races-in which any starting
horse must be offered for sale at
sum which is stated before the race.
An illustration: A $4,000 claiming
race is one in which any starting
horse may be purchased (claimeO
for $4,000. Claims are deposited,
together with a check, at least Is
minutes before post time.
Any horseman, of course, is happy
who can put over a fast deal on a
rival. Recently at New York's ia
maica racetrack, Milo Shield, vet
eran, entered a two-year-old gelding
named Staff Sergeant in a $1,000
claiming race. Never world beat
er, Staff Sergeant fell dead near the
end of the race.
The owner of the then defunct ami
NAL strolled to the racing secre7
tary's Office. He was told that a
rival horseman had put in claim
for Staff Sergeant. Shields received
the S1,500. The unfortunate buyer
received the carcass, and was
forced to pay for its removal from

Rockies Big Year

EfsToSooOh VIA ~ O0oO1y NC 4CAA4S1AA-
bered for one thing at least-the
surprisingly large number of rockies
who survived prelin1in mary weddings
and managed to carve place for
themselves early in their baseball
careers. N
Take the case of young, brash Ted
Williams, Red Sox freshman out
fielder. Recently he stood at the
plate, facing Bob Harris, Tiger
pitcher. The count was 80 against
him, when Rudy York, catcher,
chanted: "Well, here she comes
the old 80 pitch. I s'pose you're
gonna hit it,"
Williams didn't even turn around
when he replied:
"I'm gonna take cut at it, and
I always tell the truth"
York didn't believe that even the
greenest rookie would swing at a
80 pitch. A lot of clubs would slap
a fine on player who was sucker
enough to bite on it.
But Rookie Williams leaned hard,
and far into the distant stands the
ball sailed for a three-run, game
winning homer, his second of the
game.
Williams, to say the least, is one
of the seasons freshman finds. But
there are others who are just as
invaluable to their teams. Even the
world champion New York Yankees
came up with three exceptional
finds in Catcher Buddy Roser and
Outfelders Charlie Keller and Joe
Gallagher.
In addition to Williams, the Red
SOx look with pride on Jim Tabor,
third baseman, and Woodrow Rich,
pitcher. Both Williams and Tabor
went south with Boston this year as
sured of their jobs. Manager Joe
Cronin had traded off Ben Chapman
and Pinky Higgins to make room
for them. Rich has consistently
looked good ON the mound.
Eddie Miller, fielding demon for
merly from Kansas City, does much
to bolster Casey Stengeps Bees.
Miller has been rated by Charlie
Colbert, former Cardinal star, as
the finest shortstop he ever saw in
action. With Miller the Bees have
one of the smoothest functioning in
fields in the country.
In 1887 Manager Jim Dykes of the
Chicago White Sox tried to get
Manuel SalvO from San Diego. He
wasn't successful, but this year Bill
Terry brought the tall, poker-faced
Italian to the Giants. Both Carl
Hubbell and Hal Schum acher are as
yet unknown quantities in this years
race, and SalvO has stepped into a
starting job and has managed to
hold it.
1t isn't all luck that this excep-
;tional crop of rockies hove over the
horizon this year. It's the result of
the far-fung chain-store systems I'M
der which big leagues groom pros
pective material. And it's success
couldn't be more strongly evidenced
than by the success of today's fresh
men.
Of course many of them won't last
it just isn't in the cards for the
majority of them to follow in the
footsteps of Ruth, Gehrig and other
baseball inmortals. But large
number of them can and will dem
onstrate enough playing ability to
remain on some big league roster.
Quite a few first-year men have al
ready intrenched themselves in
steady position, and a good many
more are giving the old guard more
than a run for their money.

few years ago he went to work on
the docks as stevedOre. Times
grew steadily worse and James was
forced to add his name to the gov
eminent relief rolls. That was the
bottom of things for him.
He didn't stay at the bottom long.
Through a combination of circum-
stances he was tossed into the ring
on June ID, 1885, with Max Baer,
heavyweight champion who never
deserved the title. The former
ight-heavyweight, whom everyone
thought was completely washed up,
was too smart for Baer. He won
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship and crossed his name off the
relief rolls.
No. l Sports Upset
Unquestionably this was one of
the most remarkable reversals in
the history Of boxing. Braddock
didn't stay at the top very long, and
was knocked out by Joe Louis on
June 20, 1887. Experts gave Brad
dock credit for being at the peak
of his career, regardless of the
fights outcome. He later proved it
by beating Tommy Farr.
Braddock made a lot of money,
spent a large part of it, and lost a
great deal more. -Four years after
he was considered to be washed up,
Braddock is attempting a come
back in the game which made him
famous.
The former champ is playing a
smart game. His attempt is being
made in England, where second-rate
fighters, at least judged by Ameri-
can standards, are as numerous,
and fully as agile, as old-age pen
sion advocates.
Jimmy is canny, ringwise fight
er, and he can hit. He has a good
chance to wade through the British
heavyweights to get a chance at
Tommy Farr again for the cham
pionship of the British empire.

German Embassy Pilot to Try

a soaring pilot, will make the flight

Molotoff Leaves Way Open
For Strong Peace Front

MOSCOW, June l CP).-The latest
proposal by Britain and France for
a pact of mutual assistance with
Soviet Russia has been weighed in
the Bolshevist balance and found
wanting
Prenlier-Foreign Minister Viaches-
laff Molotoff made this clear in his
first speech on foreign policy to the
Supreme Soviet, Parliament, last
night.
At the same time he reiterated the
Soviet Unions belief in a common
front of all peaceful nations-pro-
vided it be an effective front.
He left open the way for further
negotiations with Britain and
France. Negotiations begun in April
on the measures necessary for COM
batting aggression" are mot yet
ended" he said.
He acknowledged that Britain and
France now were agreeable to an
understanding ION the basis of reci-
procity in the event of direct attack
by aggressors" he declared this was
a step forward but "hedged around
by such reservations that it might
prove "a fictitious step forward"
Objects to Baltic Stand.
The Premier, who took over the
foreign ministry with the with
drawal of Maxim Litvinoff, ex-
pressed the heart and core of foreign
policy thus:
1--WE stand for peace and for pre-
venting further development of ag-
gression. But we must remember
Comrade Stalin's precept to be eau
tious and not allow our country to
be drawn into conflict by war
mongers."
Specifically Molotoff objected to
the British-French proposals be-
cause they said nothing about as
sistance to the three countries on
the northwestern borders of the U.

and Finland

possible" to assure his success.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority
now is considering the establish
ment Of at least one Federally spon-
sored glider school in connection
with its national civil pilot training
program, and RiedePs flight may
have considerable bearing on its
decision, it was indicated.
Although the C. A. A. was pre-
pared to grant waiver of existing
regulations to permit the German
pilot to use an airplane for launch
ing his sailplane, Mr.. Riedel at the
last moment decided to use an au-
tomobile for tow launchings.
This will be the first attempt tc
make a soaring flight across the
United States although Comdl
Frank M. Hawk few across the
country in glider towed behind ar
airplane some years ago. Mr.. Rel
del's effort is regarded as one o1
the most difficult yet undertaken by
a soaring pilot. After he leaves the
Rocky Mountain area on his way
East, the flight for hundreds of miles
will depend on his finding suitable
