Hitless Wonders Hope They
Will Repeat Initial Victory

ST. Louis. Oct. 5--AP-They are
calling the St. Louis Browns the
hitless wonders today because they
copped the opening game OF the
first All-St. Louis World Series, 2-l,
on two hits and a team batting
average of .O69 but Manager Luke
Sewell will take three more OF the
same with no squawks.
In an effort to make it two
straight over the Cardinals today,
Sewell named right handler Nelson
Potter, his top winner with a 1877
win mark. TO oppose Billy South
worths prize lefthander Max
Lanier. who won II and lost IL in
the National.
After the Brownies took the
opener. the series odds fell TO ,
to 10 and take your choice.
Although Lanier lost his last
seven starts in the dying days OF
the regular season, and was sent
home with a sore arm during the
last eastern trip, the chunky Caro-
lima southpaw can be the toughest
in the league when he's right.
Whether he will be right today is
Billy the Kids biggest worry.
Potter was expected to be Sew
ellis first game choice but he pass
ed him for Denny Galehouse and
saw his judgment justified yester-
day when the crafty curve-baller
sprinkled seven Red Bird hits and
held a shutout up to the ninth in
ming.
Although Mort Cooper-Blix Don
nelly. who teamed up TO gain the
unenyiable distinction OF losing the
first two-hitter in series history,
outshone Galehouse in sheer bril-
lance. il was the former Youngs-
town defense worker who had II in
the plnches. Denny pulled out Of
tight spots in the second and third
with vital strikeouts OF Mort Coop
er and Whitley Kurowski and bore
down to retire the side after Marty
Marion had scored the only Red
Bird run.
A crowd OF 33,242 that paid S149,.
26S into the kitty, thrilled to
George Lefty" McQuinn's fourth
inning home run clout atop the
right field pavilion following Gene
Moore's single to right. That was
all the American League hitting
and all the scoring but It was
enough to send the customers home
chuckling about how their "Cinde-
rella Kids" had upset the Cardinal
"Supernen".
Even the first sacker's wallop
wouldn't have been enough il
Moore hadn't banged a single into
right field a few seconds earlier.
When the pressure was on, Gale
house was superb. After Marion
smacked the first OF two doubles In
the second and Emil Verban singl-
ed, he struck out Mort Cooper. Fol

WESTERN MICHIGAN
TO LACK lINEMEN

Kalamazoo. Mich, Oct 5-AP-
Two OF Western Michigan's regular
linemen will be missing from the
starting lineup when the Broncos
play their last home game against
Central Michigan here Saturday,
but Ray (Red) Louthen is expected
TO be back at his quarterback post.
Louthen has been troubled with in
juries most OF the season. Coach
John Gill said neither End Cliff
Keddie nor Charlie Kalbfleisch,
veteran tackle, would be ready for
starting roles. Gill devoted yester
days entire workout 10 a scrim-
mage against Central's plays. The
Broncos concentrated on defense
against Jack Harbaugh OF Petos-
key and Ken Smith of Detroit, who
in leading the Chippewas' attack
pace the scoring among state collie
giate teams with a combined total
OF sc points this season.

"Im only about 10 pounds over my

IT don't think I'm out of condi-

Anxious for some sort of action

tonight when he referees the third
of a series Of wrestling bouts at
which he will appear during the
next few weeks in various American
cities.
Now on furlough, Louis decided
on the refereeing tour as a means

MONTGOMERY AT
1877 STOP Ike
WILLIAMS IN II
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press STAN Correspondent
Philadelphia, Jan. 26. (UPl-
Former Champion Bob Montgomery,
Philadelphia BLACK Battling Mel
son." protected his right to another
shot at the lightweight crown last
night by ending Young Ike Williams
sensational winning streak at SO
consecutive victories with a 12-round
knockout before a sell-out crowd of
14,807 in Convention Hall.
After mounted police had ordered
more than $500 late-comers away
from the doors, Montgomery turned
on the juice" before the second
largest indoor crowd in Philadelphia
boxing history and gave the greatest
performance of his career.
Down Three Times
Montgomery, superior throughout,
ended the lop-sided battle in drama
tic fashion, hitting the young Tren-
ton, N. j., Negro with such an ex-
plosive straight right to the chin
that Williams was catapulated half
through the ropes and lay draped
over the lower strand with his chin
almost touching the ring bell. as
Referee Bernie Sestor counted him
out.
Williams was counted out at 2:49
of the 18th and final scheduled
around, on his third trip to the
vancas in that session. Although
there were no knockdownS in the
preceding IL rounds, Williams hit
the deck three times in the 18th.
A right hook midway in the session
put him down for the count of
eight. A left hook f1oored him so
that he barely regained his feet at
10. Then came the end-all right to
the whiskers.
Montgomery, with his persistent
bobbing- land weaving barrages to
head and body had his younger and
smaller opponent on rubber legs in
the third, fourth, sixth and eighth
rounds. But Trenton Ike refused to
go down.
Big Weight Edge
Williams, in suffering his first
Knockout in AZ professional fights,
never had a chance against his
heavier, stronger and more expert
enced opponent. The 20-year-old
Trentonite was out of his class. He
was lost at close quarters and his
crawfish, edging-in style left him
wide open constantly for left hooks
to body or head.
Montgomery, who looked like a
man fighting boy, took full adj
vantage of his experience and his
weight advantage of five and one
half pounds to bull his man about
the ring, preventing him from get
ting set for the sharp-punching
flurries that had kayoed 10 previous
Williams opponents.
Montgomery had to win to assure
himself another shot at the light
weight crown against Champion
Beau Jack at New York. In mid
March Montgomery weighed 1877
Williams 131 IL, the gate was $751;
1928.
