Mechanic Dies, Stapp
Hurt in Auto Crash
AT indianapolis
Accident in Tire Test
Occurs With Machine

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 21.-A
spectacular crackup in a tire test
brought death to Lawson Harris, 80
Indianapolis mechanic, and injury
to Babe Stapp, "a, Los Angeles race
driver, on the same track where both
had competed in the annual 500
mile automobile race here.
They were on their eighth time
around the az mile Indianapolis
Motor Speedway yesterday when
their racing car crashed at 116
miles an hour into the wall on the
southwest turn.
Onlookers in pits and paddock
said an axle or tie-rod had broken
near the left front wheel and
thrown the car out of control. No
immediate examination of the racer
was made.
Harris, thrown out and his head
smashed, died later in a hospital
Stapp, also taken to the hospital
had bruises and face cuts.
Otto J. Wolfer of Los Angeles,
directing the tests for the Firestone
Tire & Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio
said the two had been doing trials
three weeks.
Mike Boyle Of Chicago owned the
car.
Harris, a riding mechanic 10
years, was with Louis Meyer OF
Huntington Park. Calf, only three
time winner of the 500-mile race
when Meyer won in 1888 and 1896

DETROIT, Sept. 21.-A crushing
right to the jaw sent little Boo
Pastor to his knees. dazed and help
less, in the 18th round at Briggs
Stadium last night. and Champion
Joe Louis had snuffed out one more
fighter who made the mistake of
facing him the second time.
The blow so numbed Pastors
senses that he didn't hear as the
gray-haired referee, Sam Hennes-
sey, tolled 10. They had to lift
him to his tired legs, and he
mumbled apologetically: II didn't
see the punch. l didn't see it
coming at all
1t must have been a deeply satis-
flying victory for the big vacant
faced Negro, who was defending
his title for the first time before
cheering home folks" great
number of them of his own race.
Joe looked as nearly happy as he
ever looks.
Champ Denies He Was Weary.
He had knocked the New York
Jewish boy down five times in the
first two rounds, and then, after
what he described as a breathing
spell" had dropped him with a single
blow, clean and neat. 1t was what
he had dreamed of doing ever
since the night 80 months ago
that Pastor had danced around and
taunted him in Madison Square
Garden.
Some of the experts were saying
after the fight that Joe wasn't the
Brown Bomber of old, else he
never would have let Pastor get
away from him temporarily after
he had slugged him to the canvas
repeatedly at the outset of the
battle. They thought the Champs
legs looked tired and that he was
befuddled in the eighth, ninth and
tenth rounds, all of which Pastor
won. But Joe laughed at that.
Il knew 1 was in there for a
20-round fight" he said in the usual
Louis dialect, which sometimes is
exaggerated. II wasn't in any
hurry at all after I hit him so
much there at the start. But when
I sat down at the end of the
tenth I felt strong and fresh, so I
told "Chappie" (Jack Blackburn,
his traineD that I would get him
the next round. Didn't I, Chappie?"
"Thass right" said Blackburn,
solemnly. y.
Pastor Would Swap Punches.
1t wasn't a particularly brutal
fight. Pastor, who Aeighed 1873 and
spotted Louis II pouhds, came out
of it with a cash on his left eyelid
and slightly bruised. face. Louis
had a mouse under his let-eye.
Pastor got in some pretty good
licks, first and last Once, in the
eighth round, he stood Louis up
against the ropes and whaled him
right smartly. In fact. long after
the scrap was over. he kept insist

ston: Il can punch with that guy,

| That seemed to have been Bob's
major mistake. Some time in the
last 30 months he must have got it
into his head that he could punch
with Louis. He began trying to do
it right in the first round, even
while his advisers were screaming
themselves black in the face for
him to box and stay away. They
realized, even if Bob didn't, that
he was fooling with dynamite.

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 21.-The
Newark Bears, seeking to even the
final round of the Governors Cup
series at two games all, was to send
Lefthander Max Macon against the
Rochester Red Wings today.
Macon's job has been cut out for
him A duplicate of the three hit
pitching turned in by Hank Borowy
and Norman Branch last night would
suit the Bears.
Rochester failed to advance a man
to third base, losing, S to 0, after
winning six straight play-off games,
four of them against Buffalo in the
semiflnals.
The Bears, behind 2 to 0 in the
series, pounced on Ken Raffens-
berger for four runs in the first in
ming and collected nine hits before
the game was called because of rain
in the eighth.
Borowy, former Fordham Univer-
sity star, allowed two hits in six in
nings, retiring because of a blistered
forefinger on his pitching hand
Branch yielded the third hit and
famed four.

DETROIT, Sept. 21.-The
Messrs. Conn, Comiskey, ct al,
can step right up and start form
ing a line to the left. As Max
Schmeling once said, "He is no
more the same Joe Louis" Only
this time it's so. The Brown
Bomber stuff is out. Louis is on
the skids. Personally, I won't be
surprised if Tony Galento half
kills him in Chicago next June.
All you can say for Pastor is
that he Is a good. game country
fighter. He's not championship
caliber and never will be. Louis
had four made-to-order chances
to polish off Pastor right quick
last night, but couldn't follow
through. The only reason Pastor
lasted II rounds is that, as Herr
Schmeling said, HE IL no more

If you're trifle weary of chatter
concerning Maginot and Siegfried
barriers or if the little woman won't
drop the subject of that letter that
wasn't mailed, examine the pitching
records of Joe Krakauskas and Ken
Chase and go daffy in another direc-
ton.
There have been indications that
this year of steady hurting have aid
ed both Krakky and Ken, but there
have been other significant signs
they may be no more polished than
the same raw recruits who were
endangering the lives of spectators
with errant heaves two years ago.
On occasions these alternately
brilliant and pathetic southpaWs
have appeared well on the road to
consistently clever pitching. Then,
just about the time you've picked
out a piece along that line, they
explode with horrible conclusion.
It's all very confusing,
The records of the Mats lefties are
somewhat similar Krakky has won
II games and dropped II, while Ken
has won 10 tits and lost 18. Sprin-
kled throughout the season are
downright sensational mound per-
formances. but they've been over
shadowed by streaks of mediocrity.
Krakky Hot and Cold.
Earlier this month, for instance,
Krakky travelled nine innings and
allowed the Athletics only three hits
to capture 6-1 decision. Later he
fired for six innings in relief role
against the Yankees and yielded only
one safety. But in his other three
September appearances he has been
slightly less than satisfactory.
Chase's case is fashioned like
Krakky's In the last month Ken has
allowed only 46 hits in 70 innings,
yet has won only three games while
losing four. Over that stretch have
been a 4-hitter, three Shutters. a
6-hitter in nine innings. another
6-hitter in II innings and 9-hitter
In II innings.
Manager Buckv Harris confesses
he is perplexed. He can't afford to
give up on them because they've
shown too much promise. Still, he
hasn't learned to relax when he
