Although Bob's batting average
remains about five or ten points

emily one of the most dangerous

was among the first two or three
batterS in home runs for the Ma

up in the runs batted in depart

While he used to sport one OF

he was transferred by Pirate Boss

Mamie Seamon, successor to the
late Jack Blackburn as Joe Louis
trainer, says he has what he has
always dreamed of, the greatest
heavyweight fighter in the world
but may not be able to train him
You see, Louis is in The army

Uncle mikc Jacobs has pulled
every string available ard has
talked TO all the war department
officials but they all seem to
think that Louis will have enough
fighting i'm the ranks 10 hold him
for a while without entering the
ring.
Scamon has been with Louis since
1887, when the champ was getting
ready to do battle with Tommy Farr
of Wales. Seamon had been on
the w. p. A. roles for quite while
when he was picked up by Black
burn, friend of his for ma ny years.
Since then Seamon has helped
Blackburn condition the Bomber Tor

When Blackburn was dying on a
hospital bed in Chicago, Seamon was

Abe Simon for Chappie." Chappie,
as Blackburn was known to Louis,
had much faith in Seamon and
would have approved his appoint
ment as trainer.
But now all that the new
trainer can do is wait and hope
that the army will relax its regu-
latiOns enough to let Louis meet
Conn or some other worthy chal-
1enger.
Seamon has Louis training pro-
gram all planned already. For two
weeks he will allow him to do moth
ing but relax and loosen up the
muscles that have become tight
from riding horseback. After that
will come about four weeks of box
ing and drills. Six weeks in all is
all that he thinks is necessary to
get Louis in fighting trim.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. II CUP)
Reaffirming their intention to dis-
cuss only prosaic matters such as
size of travelling squads and scout
ing agreements, graduate managers
of the 10 Pacific coast conference
schools convened here today.
But the managers were sitting on
two powder kegs that threatened TO
disrupt the orderly agenda and LEAD
to one of those dog -eat-dog, knock
down -drag-out family fights which
often distinguished Pee sessions in
pre-war days.
The question of freshman par
ticipation in varsity sports, al
though it was decided in the mega
tive at the spring meeting in Port
land, undoubtedly will explode any
dreams the managers have of cas-
ing through routine matters as fast
as possible.
Then, if that problem doesn't get
the lads too groggy, they'll have
to figure out. what they're going
to do about arranging games for
the Nays prc-flight school at ST.
Marys college. At present the Navy
has definite engagements with only
two conference SChoOls-California
and Oregon-and more than a few
dates will have to be shifted around
if the fledgling pilots are to get
crack at the other institutions. This
condition has arisen from the
granting of full membership to
the former orphans - Idaho and
Montana. If that tWitch in the eyes
Of certain graduate managers is
interpreted correctly the Vandals
and Grizzlies might come out OF this
meeting without their shirts and
revert to their old status of diving
for the crumbs from the conference
table.

Three former champions

The former titlists who gained
the right for another try at the

of San Antonio, Tex, the 1910

San Gabriel, Cal, cup winner in
1927 and 1923.
TOP-RANKING
Mrs. Mann, one of the nations
top-ranked stars for a decade and
a former Curtis cup member, prov
ed she was at the peak of her
form when she won the qualifying
medal from a field of 176 compe-

The Omaha star toured the long
Sunset Ridge layout in even par

Mrs. Mann was a co-medaliSt in
