New Stances Promise to Help

pelling three mates across the plate.
The immediate returns of Harris
suggestions admittedly may be mis-
leading, but in contrast with what
Case and Bloodworth previously had
been committing at the plate those
initial displays were heartening.
Bloodworth entered the game with
a string of 81 consecutive hitless
trips to the plate. while Case had
collected only two hits in his last
80 times at bat

today. found the Mats a bit more
enthused about meeting them.
Those II hits that ratified off Wash
ington bats yesterday served as
tonic.
Cleveland was to employ Al Smith
against Sid Hudson in the series
opener today, with Al Milnar likely
to hurl for the Indions tomorrow
and Bob Feller on Sunday. Feller
has had no easy time of it with
Washington this season, twice hook
ing up with Ken Chase in neat
pitching duels. Feller won the first
argument, 81. and took the second,
40, in IL innings.
Not the least fascinating subject
to Harris as, the Mats squared of
with the Indians was the topic OF
George Archies transformation into
third baseman. AS Leonard
blanked the Browns, Archie was
handling five chances admirably
and creating the impression ne

The squirming. tossing and en-
forced thinking Of one of Manager
Bucky Harris recently frequent
sleepless nights seem to have solv-
ed the mystery of prolonged batting
slumps by Outfielder George Case
and Second Baseman Jimmy Blood
worth. He concocted altered batting
stances for both and early results
are encouraging.
Il didn't get much sleep We'd

was thinking about Case and Blood
worth and how to bring them out of
their slumps. Maybe yesterdays
results merely were flashes in the
pan, but at least George and Jimmy
looked better than they have all
season. They figured to, with the
advantages of their changed STAN
ces.
George will face the pitcher more
now" continues Bucky. That's the
way he batted when he first came
up, then he tried to punch hits
into right field with little luck and
his batting style became mixture.
With the 'wide-open' stance he's
using now he should get more body
into his swing and meet the ball
better.

"Bloodworth was straddling too
much-his feet were spread too far
apart. told him to bring those feet
closer together-that even if he
didn't get more hits he'd at least
look better and probably feel more
comfortable. Maybe it won't be the
remedy, but both George and Jimmy
are popped up over the idea"
Harris carried his plan into con-

Nova 10 Battle
Louis for Title
In September
Champ to Enjoy Good
Loot; Declares Conn
Great Fighter
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer,

NEW YORK, June 20.-Barring
the unforeseen, Joe Louis will make
the next defense of his heavyweight
championship here in September
against Lou Nova, the California
husky who recently forced Max
Baer to quit for the second time.
They wrangled' about it all day
yesterday in Promoter Mike Jacobs
office, with Mike trying to talk
Nova into fighting Abe Simon first,
but Nova's manager, Ray Carlen,
was obdurate.
One thing is certain: Louis in
tends to loaf with all his might
during the next two months. His
13th-round victory over Billy Conn
Wednesday night left him worn out
and tired of fighting. The champ
has been in almost constant train
ing for the past seven months.
Admiration for Conn Sincere.
Joe admits he made an almost
fatal mistake in not laying of train
ing for a couple Of days last week
like his trainer wanted him to-"
said Julian Black, a co-manager.
Joe says he knows now how he'll
| feel when he loses the title. He
still can't quit talking about how
a little fellow like Conn can take
punishment
/ Joe's admiration for Conn is sin
/ cere. The big Negro was over in
/ Billy's corner to congratulate the
| game little man almost before they
had finished bringing Billy around
with smelling salts. Billy's man
ager, Johnny Ray, though near to
crying, told Louis: Il didn't think
YOU could do it, Joe. You're a great
/ fighter" Joe said: Thanks. Johnny.
Billy is a great fighter, too"
All these things we're told as the
fight crowd hashed over the battle,
1t was agreed generally that Ray
had proved himself almost as great
a hero as his fighter by refusing TO
lay the blame on Billy for trying
to slug with Louis and getting
knocked out when sensible discre-
ton would have won the title.
Joe's Pilots Demand New Foe.
1T was what wanted him to do. -
Johnny insisted stoutly. L wouldn t
have wanted him TO win dancing
around. 1t would have been tinse!
I told him to fight the way he
wanted"
Everybody within earshot knew
Johnny was lying gallantly, that he
had implored his hot-headed fight
er to play it smart right to the end.

LUBR1CATING THE ToNsILs

LUBRICATING THE TONSILS
 A preacher sixty-seven years old talked before a large audience for two hours and kept clear voice throughout the lecture without once having taken a sip of water. When questioned he said that many years ago a doctor had endeavored to shrink his large tonsils with the electric cautery (which should not be confused with diathermy, for the diathermy instrument or applicator is not hot at all, whereas the electric cautery instrument or applicator is red or white hot), but after a few seances the doctor had succumbed to some illness, so the preacher never had any further treatment.
 This is not to imply that the elec- decentralization is good treatment fo renlarged tonsils. What it does imply is that 1t is generally best not to remove the tonsils complete ly. In the case of the preacher, for instance, 1t was evident that the lubricators of the tonsils and throat, mucous follicles or glands lying just above and just below the ton- sils, were not destroyed by the cautery. These mucous glands se- crete sufficient mucus to lubricate tonsils and throat and prevent dry- ness. hoarseness and irritation from developing after short period of speaking or singing.
 Sometimes doctors whose knowl- edge is not very broad betray their belief that 1t is important to re- move all of the tonsil and that if any portion of tonsil tissue is left in the throat the treatment has failed. This is a childish and un- scientific notion. Tn the ill-advised effort to "get all of the tonsil" many a half-baked throat specialist or surgeon has damaged the pa- tient's throat unnecessarily.
 There is sound reason in remov- ing enlarged tonsils when the pa- tient suffers from. obstruction of breathing or from obstruction of the custodian tubes (deafness, middle ear. trouble). There is no reason at all for removing tonsils that are merely large, if the pa- tient has no such obstruction of breathing or tendency to ear trou- ble or deafness. Doctor too often forget that large tonsils are 1la- tural or normal in childhood, and that the size of the tonsils natural ly varies from season to season or

 If you are going to give mother picture of yourself for moth- CTS Day, you might as well learn something about putting on pam chromatic makeup which gives the skin a full, Satiny finish and, in ad- dition. can be used to conceal minor defects. A photograph that doesn't flatter you slightly simply won't please your mother, who considers you better looking than you really are anyway.
 A new panchromatic makeup kit, designed primarily for camera fans who want to encourage their sub iects to wear cosmetics that make them more photogenic and for the long suffering girl who has to pose great deal for camera addict husband, contains a wide variety of professioral-looking items. Among them are foundations, including one for high lighting and another for casting shadows where shadows are needed, an eyebrow pencil, lip rouge and 8 brush with which to apply it, three shades of powder and an easily understood chart.
 MAKING FEATURES
 LOOK SMALLER
 Experts in Hollywood studios point out that in making up for the camera the tendency of the amateur is to use too much makeup. They also emphasize the importance of cleaning face and throat and remov- ing every trace of street makeup be- fore applying darker cosmetics which look. better before the camera.
 Keep in mind that dark grease paint or foundation film is used to make features smaller. Blended on the tip of the nose, dark foundation makes the long nose seem shorter; on eyelidS 1t makes bulging eyes ap- pear less protuberant; along the chin line 1t reduces the apparent size of the jawbone.
 Extremely light foundation film Is used to achieve just the opposite ef- feet. It is to be blended into sunken temples, across the receding fore- head, on cheek bones that are not prominent enough to be interesting. MASCARA MAKES
 EYES LARGER
 Unless your eyes are too large for your face anyway, by all means brush the lashes with mascara and subtly outline the brows with pen- ell. Lipstick should be applied with brush, in the best movie star man. ner, and powder should be pressed into the film, allowed to set for a moment or two, then the excess brushed off with powder brush, or a fluffy piece of cotton.
