Louis Predicts He'll
Win in 10 Rounds;
Baer Confident
In Great Shape, Buddy
Ayers All He Needs
Is One Good Punch

Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
and Challenger Buddy Baer rested
from their training chores today
each confident of kayo victory
tomorrow night in their 15-round
title fight at Griffith Stadium.
"Baer is as tough as any one I've
fought Louis said. But ah ought
to knock him out in less than 10
rounds. Buddy is big an can punch,
they tell me, so it ought to be a
good fight"
Wants Only One Punch.
This windy statement from the
usually clamlike titleholder drew a
reply from the challenger. who is
sued statement from the leafy
bower of his Olney (Md) training
site.
I'm in better shape than ever. I
feel sharp and ready and all I
want is one crack at Louis with my
right. If I get it I'll win the title"
Along the betting bourse Louis
ruled a l0-l to l00-l choice to de-
fend successfully his crown the
18th time, but there is little wa
gering. If any shekels are posted
the bets likely are on the number
of rounds Baer lasts. and from
Jack Doyle's New York headquar-
ters comes information that the
price is 212 to l that Baer doesn't
answer the bell for the sixth round.

modelled into a fight arena by a
squad of Mike Jacobs hirelings I'M
mediately after today's Washington

will be available for 5000 spectators,
although Jacobs does not anticipate

The Royals regained the run

st. Louis Attack;
Yonks Move Up
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Associated PRESS Sports writer.
The st. Louis Cardinals. carving
with as much deHcacy as so many
carpenters, have completed A Sc.
rious operation for the removal o.
excess wind from the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
A few stitches remain TO be ta-
ken. but there is no chance that the
patient will recover in St. Louis. be-
cause even victory in todays final
game Of the Western trip wouldn't
save Brooklyn from returning to the
banks of the GoWanus Canal in Sec
ond place in the National League.
The Cardinals dubbed the Dodg-
ers into their fifth straight defeat
yesterday. 93, with vicious l3-hit
assault. The chief slasher was
young outfielder named Herman
Coaker Triplett, who once failed to
meet the dubious standards of the
Chicago Cubs and passed to the
Cardinals through the American
Association.
Coaker ClOutS for Cards.
Coaker treated the Cardinals to a
home run, single with the bases
loaded and an eXtraneOus double
and single. Meanwhile Harry Gum
bert, whom the Redbirds acquired
last week from the New York
Giants. kept nine Brooklyn hits sat-
isfactorily scattered to go the route
and attain his second victory in St.
Louis uniform.
The Dodgers packed their hopes in
a rookie southpaw, Kemp Wicker.
who pitched 8l8 scoreless innings
against the Cardinals in relief two
weeks ago, but it was futile trust.
After Triplett homered off him in
the fourth he walked three men,
and two of them scored. and the
next inning he was batted out.
While the Cardinals were empha-
sizing their intention of controlling
the senior circuit, Bob Feller pitched
the Cleveland Indians TO a 4-to-O
victory over Washington and Sc
curity in the American League.
As Snap Chisox Streak.
The five-game winning streak of
the second place Chicago White SoX
was snapped by the Philadelphia
Athletics. whose IS victory was
their fourth IN row. The game in
cluded six home runs and tUo-run
roundtripper by Wally Moses In the
ninth settled the issue.
The New York Yankees knocked
/ the Detroit Tigers out of third place
with l0-inning 5-4 victory
achieved on a tWo-run rally that
tied the score in the ninth and Red
Rolfe's triple scoring the winning
run in the tenth. The Yanks made

By BURTON HAWKINS.

One OF baseball'S grim snorting
feuds rapidly is developing between
Cleveland and Washington clubs.
Thus far it has been confined to a
few instances of ruff1ed dignity
threats and counter-cursing, but it
owns punching possibilities.
Not since 1887, when Buddy Myer
and Bill Werber. then with the
Athletics. exchanged wallops at
third base to touch off a general
melee. have the Mats enjoyed eX-
element along that line. Now,
though. the Nationals seem to have
cultivated a studied dislike of the
Indians, and the feeling is mutual.
Everything was comparatively
pleasant until chunky Roy Wealth
erly cut one of Shortstop Cecil
Travis fingers while sliding into
second base at Cleveland recently.
That ignited i'll feeling, and tenn
perS hardly were Soothed yesterday
at Griffith Stadium as the Mats
absorbed a 40 licking from the
Indians in stirring thinning
battle.
Weatherly ducked a ball precari-
ouSly close to his head in the third
inning. Whether it was Intentional
or a slip never will be settled, but
those who employ their imagina-
tions are inclined to feel Pitcher
Ken Chase thought the Indians
outfielder required little busting
at that point
Heath, Chase Tiff.
In the sixth inning Chase threw
one inside to Outflelder jeff Heath
who promptly took three or four
steps toward the pitching mound
and then apparently thought better
of it. He stopped, but Chase hastily
strolled in from the mound to meet
him, Umpire Eddie Rommel avert
ing trouble by stepping between
them.
You knock-kneed blankety-
blank" hollered Heath. 'I'll ram
your teeth down your throat"
Listen, bum" countered Chase
that pitch got away from me, but
if you give me any more of that
lip I will fire a couple at your
head"
Then, in running out a bunt in
the tenth inning, Chase parked his
spikes on the heel of First Base
man Beau Bell, who glowered furi-
ously at 20 PAGES until Chase apollo
gized. That strictly was accidental
and Ken was prompt with an apol-
ogy, but of such stuff are tiffing
episodes manufactured.
