Rescue Hur|er Berry
Rated Int. League
Most Valuable
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Nomination for the most valuable
player in the international League,
as of July John Berry, the vet
eran fireman" of the Rochester
pitching corps.
There's no way of showing just
how much Berry has had to do with
keeping the Red Wings in the league
lead. but one of the greatest fears
Of Rochester fans when Billy South
worth was moved up to manage the
st. Louis Cards was that he might
take the relief ace with him.
Berry doesn't appear as winning
or losing pitcher often and he
hasn't started a game this season.
But since his first appearance on
the hill May %, he has taken part
in Is OF the 48 games the Red Wings
have played. And often as not it
was to save some faltering finger
who couldn't quite get through the
last inning or two. More exactly,
Fireman John has credit for two
victories and one defeat and has
served without official credit in nine
more winning games and only
three that were lost.

Mox One Of Rings Stor
Neutrality-suspicious.

Max Baer is one of the star might
have-beens of the ring. Powerfully
built, terrific puncher at his best,
equipped with a granite jaw and a
cast iron body, he never had any
real liking for his game and he had,
least of all, no liking for the train
ing grind.
Although thoroughly likable, all
he cared for was the brightest of
the bright lights. He painted the
Primrose Path a far deeper crimson
than it ever had known. He let it
overflow with splaslles of carmine.
He never was willing to pay the
price for ring success Always good
natured, no one could keep him mad
for over few minutes. And no set
of melancholy circumstances could
suppress his Glowing or his wise
cracking
Physically, he was all set up to
be great flghter-but not in
wardly. I've known times when he
had Jack Dempsey almost raving.
Jack sensed the possibilities that
Baer carried, but even Dempsey
never could make him fight when
the mood was missing. AS it was too
often.
For all practical purposes Baer's
fists killed frankie Campbell. Don't
think he couldn't hit. And don't
think he couldn't take it when he
had no other party on for the rest
of the evening.

Up to Beers Mood
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

Special Correspondent of The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2 (NA.NAD.-
The main matter in the Baer-Ga-
lento extravaganza in Jersey City
has no connection whatsoever with
anything pertaining to the artistic
side OF this badly notified existence.
1t will bring you no keen memories
of James j. Corbett or Gene Tun-
hey at their peak.
But 1t can be an entertaining and
boisterous brawl on one condition
that Max Baer decides to keep
swinging until something happens
Among all the libelous cracks you
might chuck at Tony GaIento as
an upllft to the race, no one can &C.
cuse him OF any desire to quit at any
time. No one can say that he shrinks
from body contact, from heel to
head. including both fists.
Unfortunately, the same thing
can't be said about Make Baer, who
has his varying moods. Max can fight
a bit when he wants to, but he is
affilcted by no amending urge to
keep on taking punches that may
happen to ruffie him up.
He never liked the fight game
and he likes it no better today. But
he happened to be equipped by ma
ture with a pair of hard-punching
hands and a tough jaw. Also, no
man ever looked as much like a
heavyweight champion ought to
looks feet 3, 2l5 pounds, lean and
highly impressive in his ring ap-
pearance.

Meanwhile the Yankees were belt
ing Chase freely, producing four
runs in the third inning as doubles
by Charley Keller and Dahlgren and

splurge.
Buddy Rosar's triple and Dahl
gren's long fly produced another run
in the fifth and the Yankees in

two runs on Keller's bunt and antics
Of the Mats. George Selkirk pumped
a home run over the right-f1eld
fence with two out in the eighth
to end New York scoring.
Washington obtained three runs
on five hits in the eighth and scored
once more in the ninth.
The most interesting item on the
field, when the Yankees weren't
romping around. was the Mats new
batting practice cage, sort of
screened garage on wheels which
virtually eliminates the loss of balls.
The affair, with large screen doors
opened down the first and third base
lines, prevents balls from being
sliced into the stands.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

The painful process of losing had
transformed at least few of the
Nationals into irritable individuals
today. More important, the fans
Of the village are becoming grand
stand jockeys, riding Clark Grif11th's
hired hands in merciless fashion for
their numerous miscues.
1t has been some seasons since
the Mats have been hooted as they
were yesterday at Griffith Stadium
in dropping an 8-4 decision to New
York, but, then, too. the map has
been altered extensively since the
club last produced such a sour
exhibition.
Catcher Jake Early. in particular.
has branded himself as target for
future bowling. Jake was the worst
of the Mats. On his first two trips
to the plate, he famed, and in the
seventh inning he dropped a foul
fly off the bat of Babe Dahlgren.
When he swung Justify at two of
Red Rulings pitches on his next
appearance at the plate, the fans
administered a verbal shellacking.
Jake childishly chose to do1 his
cap at that juncture and wave it
derisively at his tormentors, bush
league act which may boomerang to
haunt his immediate future. He's
been classified by the customers in
his home park as a "sorehead,"
situation he isn't likely to relish
when the going gets rough again.
Chase Drops 10th Decision.
Washington was a puerile pack
age, with Zeke Bonura muff1ng an
other foul fly, Cecil Travis commit
ting brace of errors and Charley
Colbert contributing another. Not
serving to restore the Mats good
humor was the fact they were trail
ing, 0-8, before whiting the score
TO more respectable bounds in the
last two innings.
Ken Chase was no sparkling fig
ure on the mound, either. for when
the Yankees weren't hitting him,
he was occupied in hitting the YAM
KEGS, three of them reaching base
through the medium of being
dented by pitched ball.
1t seems Ken has obtained an
ignoble start toward duplicating the
dubious distinction he owned last
year in losing 10 games. With the
season less than half vanished, Ken
has accumulated 10 defeats and the
manner in which he has been hurl-
ing doesn't indicate improvement.
Manager Bucky Harris was to
make his most determined bid for
victory against the Yankees today
when he sent the consistent Dutch
Leonard to the mound. Manager
Joe Mccarthy Of New York was re-
garding the Mats as a soft enough
touch to accomplish some expert
menting, employing Lefty Gomez in

Two Of Modest Clowns
Make Ring "koturol"

Here are two of the maddest
clowns in ring history. On copy
paper, at least, it is a natural.
Max will open his series of facial
contortious at the start OF the first
round. Tony doesn't need any arti-
fetal aid to build up or enliven
his frontispiece.
But while Max is liable to clown
through at least part Of the fight,
Tony will remain serious. His Pc
culiar form of fun-making ends
with the opening gong.
Baer might just as well set aside
certain precautions against Ga
lento's looping left. Tony likes tall
targets for this boomerang attack,
since tall targets give him more
leverage. This looping left is about
as hard a punch as the ring knows
today-when it happens to land.
While rules are supposed to be
rules, there is healthy chance
tonight that the pair involved will
be allowed to make up their own
regulations as they 60 along. Neither
will be permitted to use an ak,
machine gun or cleaver. But such
minor matters as arson, mayhem,
head locks and gouging will be en-
couraged. p.
The raw material is on hand for
a lively evening-an evening that
should be crowded with crude but
Furnishing action if the two main
entries simply let nature take its
primeval course. No other trim
mings are needed.

TO understand just why he should
keep on fighting after it ceases being
fun. To keep on getting punched,
when you can subside at almost any
moment, doesn't make any sense to
his highly pliable nature.
He may switch around and change
his nature against Galento. If he
does, the New Jersey air should be
replete with flying fur, splinters and
