Aword Of Round No Help
To Muddled Fighter

Referee Arthur Donovan stated
after the fight that Louis never
struck Baer after the bell. This
proves that Donovan never heard
the bell, or else his ears and his
eyes were badly mixed up.
Any punch thrown after the bell
rings can do double damage.
In the first place, it usually finds
the party of the second part relaxed
and helpless. In the second place, it
is distinct shock TO his nervous
as well as to his physical system.
Suppose the round is awarded to
the aggressor? What good is that
to the fighter who has had a sec
ton Of his brains scrambled and
who may be rendered totally unfit
for the next two or three rounds?
There are, of course, occasions
when the punch has started Just a
split second before the bell sounds
This can't be helped and this must
be left to the judgment of the ref
cree or the judges.
At least one of the things that
boxing needs is bigger, better, louder
and sharper sounding bells-not with

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Since it is
becoming quite fashionable for
Mats to collapse as frequently and
completely as European govern
mentS. Pitchers Dutch Leonard
and Walter MaSterSon are stylish
specimens at the moment. There
is nothing very laudable about the
reminder of Washington'S throw
ing brigade, of course, but the evil
conduct of Leonard and Master
son has been a particularly dam
aging dose.
That fantastic 14-12 shellacking
the Mats absorbed from st. Louis
here last night may give slight
hint that things aren't quite cor
rect with Washington pitching. AS
the Nationals contested the cellar
spot with the Browns today, Man.
ager Bucky Harris desperately
delved among his relief corps and
camp up with a rookie, Arnold
Anderson, as a starting pitcher.
What Anderson has accomplished
to merit a starting role is not clear.
Harris, though, was assured the
towering right handler hardly could
fail to improve on the perform
ances of some of his recent starters.
Knuckler Mystery Fades.
Leonard, in being belted from
the box on five successive occasions,
hasn't been able to moan about
the Mats pathetic lack of power.
Last year Dutch dropped enough
decisions by one run to spread over
five years, but this season he simply
hasn't had it.
The charm of Leonard's once
feared knuckler seems to have
vanished, for no longer is it a
puzzling pitch. In surviving less
than five innings last night he
represented no mystery to the
Browns, who hammered him for
nine hits in dealing him his sew
enth defeat.
Masterson's skid has been ex-
tremely annoying, for this was sup
posed to be the year the young,
bespectacled right-hander was to
find himself. He has displayed no
improvement over his 1910 FORM
when he won only 2 games and
lost 10.
Masterson's case particularly is
disturbing to Harris, who has fan
cied Walters style from the mo-
ment he viewed him. At times
Walters fast ball sizzles and his
curve breaks sharply, but there
has been nothing consistent about
him. He still hasn't learned to con-
troll the ball. Then, too, the Mats
seem to have been presented a
Trojan horse in Pitcher Vernon
Kennedy. His labor has been brief
in his three starts with the Mats,
and in a relief role last night he
indicated the Browns were ShreWd
dealers in obtaining Catcher Rick
Terrell for him.
Early Breaks Slump.
If the Mats are able to scan any
rays of sunshine from their position
it doubtless centers in the swatting
of Catcher Jake Early and Cecil
Travis, who suddenly snapped a

but the Mats are demonstrating they
can't be hollered into victories.
Harris searched diligently but
fruitlessly for some semblance of
effectiveness among his hurlers last
night, for the Mats were in a hitting
mood and required only slight aid
from their pitching department.
Pull Up in Seventh.
The Mats were getting along very
nicely with So lead entering the
final portion of the fifth inning
Then suddenly. the Browns teed off
on Leonard, Masterson and Bill
Zuber to chase nine runs across
the plate on 10 hits of assorted cali
Der 1t was no novel experience for
the Mats, who allowed nine Phila-
delphia runs in one inning earlier
in the year.
Mats Stage Two Rallies.
The Mats, it developed, weren't
through. They pulled within two
runs of the Browns at 1910 in the
seventh, but Kennedy, who was
Washington fourth pitcher, walked
four men in st. Louis seventh and
then issued a single which pro-
duced a 4-run advantage.
Four Washington singles again
yanked the Mats to the compare
lively exhilarating heights of trail
ing the Browns by only two runs in
the eighth, but George Caster finally
stopped the struggle which ended
only four minutes shy of consuming
three hours. Caster, the Browns
fourth hurler, checked Washington
after Eden Auker. Bob Harris and
Bill Trotter had been blasted freely.
The Mats accumulated 20 hits,
while the Browns piled up 10. There
were almost as many hits as GUS
toners, in fact, for only 3,05S fans
elected to pass the evening at
Sportsman's Park.

Eastern Gains Mound
Edge on Western in
Taking 0pener,7-3
Rookie Spieser Delivers
As Coach Guyon Saves
His Regular SIobmen
By GEORGE HUBER.

A big pitching edge which may be
the decisive factor in the high
school baseball championship play
off belongs to Eastern. Coupled with
q one-game lead over Western in
the three-game title series, that
makes the Ramblers outstanding
favorites to hang up another school,
boy diamond pennant.
Eastern jumped ahead by measur-
ing Western yesterday, 7-3. largely
through the successful workings of
a bit of strategy by Coach Charles
Guyon. He elected to start Chester
Spieser on the mound, pinning the
Ramblers' hopes on an INFESTED
hurler whose only previous appear
ance was an unimpressive one
inning relief stint against Central.
1t was a dangerous move against
the sluggingest crew among District
schoolS-Western has five 300 hit
tiers in its lineup, compared to only
two for Eastern-but it worked.
Ramblers Clout Western Ace.
Chester gave only three hits in
the six innings he worked with
never more than one bingle an
inning. Two of the three runs off
him were unearned. Meanwhile,
the Ramblers were facing Westerns
ace, Charles Hines, and found him
much to their liking. They blasted
him for four runs in the fifth frame
and sent him to the showers in the
next. After that Clarence Kuldell
took oover and gave no hits in three
and two-thirds innings, although a
wild pitch contributed one Eastern
run.
For the second game of the series
on Friday and for the third next
Monday, if necessary, Coach Guyon
has his two top hurlers still prac-
tlcally fresh. Ken beavers did a
three-inning stint after Spieser
withdrew yesterday, but will be in
shape to start Friday, and behind
him is Ken CurleS. another of the
same caliber. Spieser. too. didn't
work very hard yesterday and could
be used if necessary.
Coach Cliff Moore of Western
isn't so we'll stock with hurlers.
Hines was greeted too happily by
Eastern yesterday, leaving only
Kuldell as probable pitcher for
Friday. Billy Grey, Westerns other
pitcher, has dropped school for a
job. leaving the Red Raiders dis
tlnctly short for mound workers.
Homer Scores Three Runs.
Errors contributed to three of
Eastern's runs yesterday, but such
wasn't the case in the fifth inning.
Four runs were tailed on five hits,
one being home run by Jack
Hoffman with two mates aboard.
His blow dropped over the right
field fence by inches and missed
the foul marker by an even smaller
margin.

Louis Involved in Three
After Bell Affoirs

I saw Pancho Villa flatten jim
my Wilde after the bell had sounded
the end of the first round.
Villa claimed he had heard no
bell. Yet the punch he threw
wrecked Wilde and won fight that
should have been awarded to the
little EngliShman.
After Pancho Villas murderous
smash beyond the bell, Wilde never
had chance. The referee might as
well have let Villa use a club.
Strangely enough, Joe Louis has
been involved in three after-the-
bell entanglements. And Louis was
on the sour end of this delayed
barrage twice.
He took good punch from Max
Baer after the gong in their en-
gagement. This was Baer's best
punch.
He was almost annihilated by
Max Schmeling after the bell rang
in their first collision. At that point
Louis had been knocked down. but
he still was getting along with a
stabbing left lab.
The bell rang. Louis dropped
both hands and started for his cor
ner. AS he did so Schmeling
whipped a full right to the jaw,
and Louis crumpled into the grip
of Blackburn, knocked colder than
a herring on ice.

CIomorous Signal Bell
Prize Rings Big Need
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

Why is it that so many half
muff1ed thinkers are used for bells
to sound the end of round? Any
number of scandals or near-scan-
dalS have been started because the
two fighters or the referee failed to
hear the bell in the middle of some
noisy din that usually breaks out
when round closes with whirl of
action.
Why not gong of some descrip-
ton that sends out its message
clear and sharp in a sound that
can't be ignored or overlooked?
I still recall the mixup that came
from faulty bell in the Dempsey
Willard fight at Toledo.
Willard at the time was on the
floor for something like the eighth
time in the first round when the
referee counted him out and award
ed Dempsey the title. But it devel-
open that the dinky bell given
Timekeeper Tony BiddIe had been
sounded before Willard had been
counted out. 1t was a bell that
some keen-eared listener might
have heard two feet away.
Dempsey had to be called back
into the ring and the ring cleared
before the second round could be
started. Here was a bell mishap
that almost caused a riot.
