the American league pennant. But
not this season.
Back in April Bimelech was
picked as another wonder horse. He
still tops the three-year-olds, but he
isn't any wonder horse. Two de-
feats, including the Kentucky Derby.
have cut into his laurel collection.
With Challedon under repairs.
with Kayak sick, there have been
no top handicap horses. One wins,
and then another. Again no stand
outs.
Some three-year-old, maybe Bim-
elech, will have to hurry to save
the crop.
The golfers have been in the same
fix. Byron Nelson failed in his 1910
defense of the title as Lawson Little
moved in. With the confidence de-
veloped from this victory Little may
set another smoking pace, such as
he put through in the amateur divi-
sion. But he is in a much tougher
league now. Anyway, the ex-ama-
teur star has a great chance to be-
come one of the outstanding figures
of golf.
He has tough title to defend
when you must beat off LOO chal-
lengers in place of one or two.
This, in way, is all the better
for building up public interest.
YarlkS NOtU on Short End
Take up the difference shown in
the American league race. A year
ago we had only the Yankees-prac-
tically losing the rest OF the league.
Now we have four ball clubs with .
chance, and the Yankees have only
an outside chance. Rated to 3 when
the season opened, they are far
from being favorites with the race
about half run. This has trebled in
terest in Cleveland, Detroit and BOs-
ton, as well as other cities.
A race, to the mob, is always more
interesting than a runaway.
Bill McKechnie's Reds represent
the most consistent combination in
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1940-07-25

post. They have the better pitch
ing, day in and day out, to call upon.
Tennis Crop BIighted
Amateur tennis had little left when
Don Bulge retired. With Wimble-
don and the Davis Cup eliminated,
tennis had to take one on the point
of the chin.
The game is still looking for some
personality-such as Mclaughlin,
Bill Johnston, Bill Tilden, Ellsworth
Vines or Bulge. There is no such
party around at this writing. So far
the crop is colorless.
In baseball, the slump of DiMag-
gio, Dickey and others has been
Offset by such pitching stars as
Bob Teller and Buck Newsom.
There is only a slight chance that
any home-run hitter will reach the
so mark. Teller has the best chance
to pick up 30 victories and he may
reach this highly desirable spot.
Bob Teller might easily be base
balls standout for the present year
"a star pitcher hooked up with
leading ball club.
But when you sum up the list the
one outstander-the lone eagle in the
sporting eyrie-is still Joe Louis.
He is champion Of the champs.
And this goes for all the sporting
fields we know today, horse or man,
or man or horse. Not only as
fighter but in the way he has con-
Quoted himself, Louis is practically
all alone.
Only a big upheaval through the
remainder of 1910 can change this
rating or ranking.

Buck Ne,osom Rides Again

No one can say that Louis Norman
("Buck"D Newsom hasn't seen his
share of baseball scenery. In the
last IL years Buck has played with
at least IL different teams in six or
seven leagues, and here he is today
burning up the American with a
varied assortment Of wares.
Buck was born in Huntsville, s.
c., 80 years ago. He had to wander
a long time to reach his peak.
His first and tallest upward lunge
took place two years ago when he
won 20 bah games for the Browns.

next logical match for the merci-
less, coldly calculating heavyweight
king.
The boys who saw Max in his
dressing room last June /, after his
fight with Lou Nova, must find it
hard to believe that he is getting
chance to meet the champ. He
didn't look very good against Nova.
And Nova never was a really good
fighter. Max lasted II rounds that
night, until the referee called tech
nical knockout.
OF course, thaI whole story's his
tory now. The Nova fight was more
than a year ago And the recent
victory over Galento revives memo
ries of happier days-days when he
whipped Ernie Schaff, Max Schmel-
ing and Primo Camera. It's easy
to forget something you'd sooner not
remember. And it is easy enough
to find an alibi for that lone bad
night"
No Finishing Power
But Max didn't look like a cham
pionship threat when he whipped
Galento. True, he gave the fat boy
a terrible beating, but he couldn't
apply the finishing touches. He re-
deemed himself in his own eyes, and
perhaps in those Of his manager, but
he left huge doubt in the minds of
those who saw the performance.
When the fight was stopped by
the referee Tony had been taking
terrific punishment. He could
scarcely walk; his spirit had long
since left his body, and only his
paunchy frame kept him upright.
Galento was fighting as robot, a
silly, meaningless grin on his bruised
face.
Yes, Baer whipped him. But he
didn't have the finishing power to get
a knockout.
Actually, Baer IL farther away
from beating Louis now than he ever
was. His youth has caught up to
him-a youth that was devoted
largely to having . good time. He
bent a convivial elbow too often,
paid too much attention to the fair
sex and gave very little thought to
training rules and regulations.
Baer was 80 years old when Nova
whipped him so soundly. He was
three years younger than that when
he met Joe Louis in New York in
1885. He lasted only four rounds.
Now he wants another crack at a
man who is twice as great fighter
as he was at the time of their first
encounter.
But with the heavyweight list
worn rather thin from stretching to
meet Louis demands, Baer is the
sole veteran Of the old school who
might attract fair gate.
The boxing game is in a poor way,
however, when matchmakers are
forced to dig up self-admitted has
beens to meet the champion. But
as long as the public is willing to
pay for them, promoters will supply
a never-ending series Of farcical
