futures opened lower to 2 higher.
Bombay prices pointed downward

better. Although a fair amount of
selling came from foreign accounts,
good support was furnished by trade
sources, New Orleans and local pro-
fessionals.
Prices moved in narrow limits after
the opening call. Selling of nearby
positions by spot interests and
few Southern offerings were well
taken. BY midmorning the list was
unchanged to / lower; March (old,,

Narrow markets abroad and an
ticipation of the holiday here tomor-

in the country. The biggest COM
pliment you could pay the big fell
low from the Coast was not to
tell him he was a grand fighter
but to pat him on the back for
being a prince of good fellows. :.
While he had the title Max would
put in an eighteen-hour day trying
to think up new and impractical
gags that would give some of the

the world about the madcap lar

when Baer met Louis on his first

were filmed. In the first, Baer was
the growing, grimacing clown. In
the second he was the grOvelling,

But now the goof has earned
himself another crack at the I'll
tie held by Joe Louis. In the three
years that have gone by, Louis
has added score of kayos to his
tally sheet and still remains the
same, unperturbed, unruffled, me-
thodical puncher. Baer has put on
weight and has grown older. If
he has regained his youthful cour-
age he has an excellent fighting
chance because the night he top
pied Tony Galento he proved once
again that he still has his punch.

DuC III Baer beat GalentO, it's our
impression he can take care of a
flock of Pastors, GOdOys ct al.
Mind you, we once said Baer
would beat Louis but that was
years ago when we thought Baer's
punch would Outmaneuver his buff
fOOnery, but we've eaten our
words ten times ever since.
The first time we saw Make
Baer in the ring in New York
City ended in tragedy for the man
he fought. So lethal were the Cal
ifornian's blows that Makes op-
ponent landed in the hospital and
died as a result of the terrific
pummellings he had received at
the hands of the Livermore fight
er. It was also the first time that
New York was treated to the
sight of Mogen Dovid emblaz-
oned on the trunks of a heavy
weight fighter.
From then on it was all hay.
The press gave him a build-up or
dinarily reserved for the Dutch
Schultz mob, Babe Ruth, and Red
Grange. The fans gave him their
undivided allegiance, for even
then Make was fighter-the on
ly real one on a horizon darkened
by the shadow of champion Pri-
mo Carnera-gargantuan fugitive
from an Italian circus. =.
Make gave them everything. He
modelled himself after another
Make : an even goofier guy
known as Slapsie Make Rosen-
bloom-and made the Broadway
night clubs his training camp as
well as his leisure activity.
Of course, Make appeared i'm
the neWsreels punching a heavy
sand bag and skipping rope, but
that was for local consumption in
the family papers. His managers
took care of two things-that the
larruper from the Coast didn't for
get how to hit or lose his punch.
Unfortunately, Make hit the big
town when a bunch of mobsters
had taken over control of the Pri-
mo Camera interests and so Max
lie had to wait for a chance at the
heavyweight title until the mob
sters had MIXED Camera clean.
To refresh your memory, this was
in the days of Kingfish Levinsky
(ah! there was lallapalooka!)
Jack Sharkey, Max Schmeling,
Walter Neusel and Tommy Lough-
ran were still around. Joe Louis
was still Joe Barrow in the ma

PITTSBURGH, Sept. THE re-
vamped Pittsburgh Steelers, OPEN
ing the National Pro Football
League season here tomorrow against
the Chicago Cardinals, vow ftn be
a different story this year"
The outlook is promising, as the
club has practically made itself
over. Taking new name (they
were the Pirates), starting Coach
Walt Kiesling on his first full season
here, sprucing up their morale and
hiring a flock of new players, the
Steelers are now ready to go to
town.
They promise to show scoring
punch, featuring such backs as Billy
Patterson, former Baylor passing
ace; Merlyn Condit, ex-Carnegie
Tech speedster who sparked the
Eastern college all-stars to victory
at New York this week, and Boyd
Brumbaugh, the teams leading
ground gamer.
The Steelers will be out to avenge
a 100 defeat at the hands of the
Cardinals last year, which started
the Pittsburghers on long string
of disasters.
The game will mark the return
of Jimmy Councilman as head coach
of the Cards. Councilman returned
to the pro game after plotting WASH
ington University of st. Louis to
the Missouri Valley Conference title
last season.

With only two players who won't
be with them for their first Ma
tional League game next Sunday,
the Redskins shove off at noon today
for Boston where, on Tuesday night,
they will meet the Eastern College
All-Stars. surprise conquerors of the
New York Giants.
Announcing the release of two
ends, the Veteran Johnny Spirida
and the Rookie Willard (Bolo)
Perdue from Duke, Coach Ray
Flaherty yesterday pruned his squad
to 35 players, just two over the
league limit of 80.
Perdue, however, was claimed late
yesterday via the waiver route by
the New York Giants and left last
night for the Eastern champs
training camp at Orangeburg, N. Y
Incidentally, the Redskins have
been notified that Ernie Lain. the
old Rice fullback who was released
at Spokane, has been picked up by
the Chicago Cardinals. He was to
report to them today for their first
league game at Pittsburgh against
the Steelers but hardly is expected
to see action with his new team
mates.
Flaherty's action in dropping
Perdue and Spirida means that Hay
ward SANDY Sanford, another re-
cruit from Alabama, has been ac-
cepted as the fifth Indian end to
team with Wayne Millner, Charley
Malone, Bob Masterson and Bob
McChesney.
Slow to Get Going.
Although slow in impreSSing at
the start, Sanford has come along
rapidly in the last fortnight. At
215 pounds, he is second only to
Masterson as the heaviest flank
man now wearing the Burgundy and
his possibilities as field goal kicker
are too potent to neglect. During
his sophomore year at 'Bama, two
field goals gave the Tide ct vic
tories over both Tennessee and
L. S. U. and although they stand as
his only 3-pointers in college, he Is
regarded as Bo Russell's first aide
de-boot.
Most promising about Sanford,
however, is the way he travels like
a halfback once he has caught a
pass. In both intrasquad games he
bowled over a couple Of tacklers
before he was downed. All in all, he
shapes up as a valuable man to have
around.
Spirida, although a punter. will
not be missed especially with the

Sachon, Moutenot, Hank Brostek

Schulman, incidentally, is hobbling
with a bad knee and Murnane and
Boyle are arguing about whose going

CastigIia Shines at G. U.
Jack Hagerty was neither disap-
pointed nor elated by Georgetowns
play. ne OlOf1 expect an dWIu IOt
of the boys, so when their timing
spoiled several running plays he
didn't worry too much about it.
Jack Doolan, the boy who is ex-
pected to be jor running threat,
lived up to advance notices, twice
breaking a way for long runs.
Doolan needs polish-the old varsity
shine-and he lacks experience. but
if he continues to improve he'll be
heard from.
AS pleased as Hagerty was with
Doolan's work he was even more
elated by Jim Castiglia' S plunging at
fullback. Castiglia's tremendous
driving power was much in evidence
as he waded through the trenches
for consistent gains and he seemed
ready and anxious for his biggest
year at the Hilltop. Heretofore Jim
has been a terrific disappointment
for some unknown reason. Yester-
day, however, he was another
Nagurski. 1t may be a good omen.

grade last year, Spirida twice had
failed as a halfback, being converted
into an end during the 1899 sea-
son.
Perdue, whose block of a Pitt punt
put Duke in the 1889 Rose Bowl
game, simply was adjudged too small
for the Redskins. Although stand
ing only 5-feet-10. the young man
had plenty of fire and on several oc-
casions dealt out bloody noses in
training camp scrimmages with his
rough-and-tumble play and probably
will make the Giants an ideal end.
Too much opposition here was the
reason he got the gate.

combination up in Boston with

Justice, Malone and Millner ready
to handle Baugh's heaves.
