Bivins Aims at Louis or Conn
As He Fights Henry onight

Eddie Kleinman, manager OF
Jimmy Bivins, sounded off today in
the direction of Billy Conn and Joe
Louis with an offer aimed at get
ting either of those top heavy
weights into the same ring with
Bivins. Kleinman offers guar
antee of $4,000 and says he will
donate his end of the purse to
charity.
A Bivins-Conn or Bivins-Louls
bout, however, appears impossible
to make at the moment, because
Mike Jacobs, who runs American
boxirg, has other plans. Jacobs is
building up a Conn and Louis en-
gaeement for next June and he
hardly would risk either man
against Bivins. In the opinion OF
most boxing authorities, including
Jacobs, Cleveland Jimmy probably
could whip both of them.
Meanwhile, Bivins got set today
for his scheduled 10-round brawl
with Yancey Henry, powerful local
heavyweight, tonight in Uline Arena.

DETROIT, Sept. 26,-This is the
time of year, in the autumn, when
it is customary to try to compare
the teams which will compete In
the World Series. The more teams
to be compared, why the merrier,
and who's going to complain about
a few bad guesses when its over.
The writer's guess is that the
Detroit Tigers, If they somehow
scramble through safely in the
American League this week, will
have the best pitcher in the World
Series next week, namely Hal New
houser, a curly haired left-hander,
who was brought up in Detroit.
Neither the Chicago Cubs, VINO
appear almost certain to win in the
National League, nor the st. Louis
Cardinals, who never cease being
threat, have a single f1ipper quite
to compare with Newhouser.
NeWhouser is lengthy south
paw who can throw a ball like a
bullet when he wishes, or who can
chop off an outside corner with a
curve that whistles. Some think
he is as good a pitcher as Bobby
Feller Of Cleveland, though most
of those who think that happen
to live in Detroit.

Jap-American Proves
Idol Of Mat Fans

It's a queer twist of the war that
the most popular wrestler in the
weekly shows at Turner's Arena is
of Japanese descent. Duke Keo-
muka, an American of Japanese an
cestry, has an excellent record in
the United States Maritime Service,
but few of the fans know that.
In a game where the contestants
are booed more frequently than
cheered, Keomuka always wins the
plaudits of the crowd. For one
thing, he is a clean, scientific grap-
pier of undoubted skill. And once
when he threw a burlier opponent
out of the ring, The Duke climbed
out and helped him back with an
apology. That made history in the
wrestling business.
Keomuka is appearing at the W
street arena tonight in a team
match when he will pair with Jimm!
Atlas against Abe Stein and Dale
Clark. First time he appeared here

caution of calling an extra detail

Tigers would have been heavy. De-
troit would have to bag three of
four games to finish ahead.
But with the Tigers needing only
one more win in four games to tie,
well-the Mats realized there was
nothing more they could do about it.
And the Tigers, with Hal Newhouser,
Dizzy Trout and all their other
pitchers getting a break with the
Tigers having six days in which to
play the four games, could do plenty
So the Mats letdown was nothing

With little more than time on
their hands. Washington's Mats
were awaiting this afternoon's
baseball reports from Detroit. What
happened in the home of the
league-leading Tigers was to deter
mine the immediate future of Clark
Grif1th's second-place club.
Should the Tigers lick Cleve-
lands Indians twice, the Mats will
pack up and leave for their homes
Should rain again prevent play in
Detroit as it did yesterday, the
Mats still will pack up and go.
But should the Tigers lose one or
both games, the Mats will gather
at the ball park tomorrow morn
ing and board a bus for the Balm
bridge Naval Station, where they
would drill daily through Saturday
at least.
That would be done because the
Mats won't be out of the running
for the American League champion
ship until the Tigers take two more
games. And including today's dou-
ble-header, the Tigers had four to
play.
Stage Snappy Drill.
Manager Os Bluege mustered his
forces at the ball yard yesterday
and he reports they went through
a rousing practice. The hitters hit,
the pitchers pitched and also did
quite a lot of running around the
outfield.
Could be that the Tigers won't
be able to snap out of the slump
that has cost them four games OF
their last five, and Bluege wants
his pitchers at top form for an
emergency. No pitcher is better
than his legs. He hurts with his
arms, but must have his legs sound
to keep him going.
Another item of particular i'm

CHICAGO, Sept 26.-The pace
