Roosevelt High Nine
Is Green and Lacks
Tested Pitchers
Three Vet Outfielders
Offer Most Of Punch
Possessed by Squad
By GEORGE HUBER.

Roosevelt Highs baseball team
shapes up as mostly a green outfit
with what batting punch there is
being supplied by a trio of letter
men in the outfield. Biggest handi-
cap is that Coach Herman Littman
has hasn't even one experienced
hurler on his staff.
Robert Downs, one Of last years
leading tossers, still is in school but
the age limit bars him. That and
the fact that three or four good
poys are scholastically ineligible
figures to have the Rough Riders
finishing somewhere in the middle
of the pack.
Many Pitching Aspirants.
IfNhe Riders can get good pitch
ing they might threaten and there
are several promising candidates
Bill Garner and Harry Kidwell
seem to be leading now, with Alex
Baroni also getting consideration
He's a kid brother of Frank CBarreD
Baroni, one of Roosevelt's all-time
players and All-High pitcher in
1884 Other hurting bidders are
George Bell, Kemp Cook, Walter
Landsdale and Charles Howard.
All are new however, and it may
take another season for Roosevelt
to develop good slab crew.
The catching assignment also
must be filled from new talent. Jack
Lart5 appears especially good but
ne has not been given the call over
such candidates as Ken Kennedy,
Bernie Miller, Stan Siloin, Bill
Mann and Stanley Levin.
Coach Littman has two letter men
in the infield Tom Robertson at
third and Frank Ciango at short
but neither is certain of a job. Ray
Koenie is after the second base post
and Tom Conboy is battling for
thirc
Inheld Candidates Plentiful.
Other spots are open, with Carl
Sturgis. Roy Koenig and Jack
KlaUans as leading second base
candidates and Al Bushling. Marvin

Best in the outfield is Les Wick

positions against such candidates
as Dick Koester. Ralph Lloyd, Dave

Ancil Hoffman is as talkative as
a couple of chatty clans, but the
dapper, graying Westerner who
guided Max Baer to the world
heavyweight title managed to find
enough loose syllables today to pre-
dict that Ma&'s kid brother Buddy
has as much chance of wearing the
gilded crown as did his older
brother when he started.
Hes only 26," he began, "and he's
won some good fights coming along
So now when he's beginning to
reach his peak, and looking better
than ever, 1 have to like his chances
Maybe I'm wrong, but he's got a
lot of things in his favor-including
a pretty good punch-that were
against Max. Max was a more
dangerous puncher but Buddy lays
'em in there pretty good, too. Don't
let anybody tell you he can't hit, be
cause he can. Ask Abe Simon. Buddy
belted him out on the same card on
which Louis kayoed Max Schmeling
and he didn't need 13 rounds Tor
any t. k. o. either"
Fights Here, Incidentally.
But this is taking long lead OIL
base without explaining that Buddy
is here to do battle with one Signor
Tony Galento tomorrow night at
Uline Arena. While Tony is getting
along in years he's still tall hurdle
for the Younger member of the Baer
stable and quite possibly could win
the fight. He might even knock out
Buddy.
Sure he could" Hoffman agreed
"but he isn't going to. He'll knock
out anybody he tags solidly with his
left hook, but I don't expect him to
connect with it. He'll try to make
Buddy fight his way if he can, and
if he succeeds we've got a big plate
of roast duck on our hands. But
he won't get away with it. He's
going to fight our way"
Baer, an expansive hulk of per-
sonable protoplasm, looked up at
these words and the serious expires
sion he wore cracked up into q
big grin.

three out of five individual titles
from the first annual District %

the spotlight Taking precedence
over Walsh's display of marksman-

Wilbur Slack, Richard McMahllf,
Johnny Layton and George Stewart
banged out an amazing total of 1,ll2

previous mark by 19 points. Walshs
team, the Washington Pistol Club,
finished second with 1893 with the
aid of a good 290 poured in by the
Nations fourth-ranking pistol shot.
Walsh's three first-place awards
included the grand aggregate title
which is the total of scores in the
other four individual matches, the
slow fire, timed fire, rapid fire and
national course In the slow fire
the Oman ace finished in tie
with DR.. William Cooke with l8lx200,
but DR.. Cooke was awarded the

his shots.
Walsh took the timed fire with 1875
and finished third in the rapid fire
with 1S9, being topped by Robert
Mansel with 1875 and Slack with
1911. His excellent 288X300 gave
Walsh a four point victory in the
national match course shoot and
his score of S54x90O gave him the
aggregate title.

ST. LOUIS. April You'll never
believe this, but Joe Louis takes on
squat Tony Music in the arena to-
morrow highland Joe's managers
are worried.
Only it's neither Music nor the
fight they're worried about.
It's Just how much effect bowling,
the heavyweight champs latest
'playtoy," will have on his ability to
pitch his high, hard one in the ring.
AS for MuSto-well, sir, up to yes
terday John Roxborough, one of the
Bomber's co-pilots, never had seen
the stumpy slugger. For that mat
ter. Joe hasn't known him very long.
Naturally this doesn't make much
difference to Louis. They all appear
alike to him-two hands, two eyes
and a nose.
Employees Different Muscles.
But this bowling-now that's q
'horse from a different garage" "
The alley game follows long line of
relaxations-al the way from golf to
showing horses-which has attracted
Joe's attention and enabled him to
get little exercise.
Up to now, no one cared how
badly he beat the little golf ball, but
Roxborough frankly is skeptical
about taking on tenpins It's not be-
cause he afraid Joe1l let fly with the
hir hoI ,,irp{
mayhem on the pinboy.
But" he explained, you use q
completely different set Of muscles
bowling than you do fighting. And
rolling the bowling ball underhand
may effect Joe's overland punching
power. 1t makes the shoulder move
altogether differently and we're
thinking it might have an effect-a
dragon those muscles"
OF course, Joe isn't going to let a
little thing like that worry him. He
figures if he can't hit those other
guys with his right, he'll do it with
his left. That's how he feels, any
way, about Music, who qualified for
the title shot by (a) working as q
grocery clerk in Blue Island, Ill,
and (b) serving as a puddler in a
steel mill at Harvey, Ill.
Referee Arthur Donovan has been
imported from New York to handle
the tussle.
Tony is short, stumpy gentleman
who appears as though he had spent

groceries and steel on his head. He

There should be no alarm

The public should not be dist
turbed." officials said. "Informa-
ton fr ON Oscar A. Barron,
District Manager Of Priorities
Field Service, Office Of Produc.
ton, Helena, indicates that the
order is temporary. 1t was con.
sidered necessary to put . quick
stop to panicky buying of tires in
Pacific Coast cities when Japan
attacked. There is no evidence
of a stampede to buy tires in
Montana and there is no reason
why automobile owners should DO
So"
While you may not be able to
buy new tires and tubes until
December %. officials said. the
government assures u that a
plan will 60 into effect after that
date to make tires available
when actually needed. There is
no attempt being made to make
it difficult for anyone to get tires
for actual use. There is only an
attempt being made to restrain
boarding.
1T must be remembered that
the o. P. M. Priorities Division
order applies only to new tires"
officials said. 1T does not affect
retreaded or used tires and tubes.
Nor does it affect either new or
used tires and tubes sold with
new or used automobile.
Patriotism, like charity. be-
gins at home. 1t is unpatriotic
to attempt to buy new tire andtub-
es while the ban is in effect. Boot
Logging of tires will call for
serious penalty should it arise.
The ban is temporary. Bookkeeping
never rears its ugly head if buy.
ers refuse to become panicky."
Officials indicated that the Auto
mobile Association will do its ut
most TO carry out the spirit. az
well as the letter of the order.
