St. Louis Cardinals
Sale Not Confirmed

Ford Frick said at Lafayette,
Ind, where he was attending a
football dinner, that he knew
"absolutely nothing" about the
reported sale except what he
had read in the newspapers.
With the exception of Pauley,
all the men mentioned as the
purchasers either live in St.
Louis or are former residents
of the city. Hannegan and the
72-year-old Breadon, longtime
owner of, the Cardinals, are
neighbors here.
The Skouras Brothers, two o1
whom were in closed conference
at their New York office, are
owners of nationwide chain
of theaters. They began their
careers in St. Louis. Spyros
Skouras is the president of the
Twentieth Century-Fox, Charlie
heads a chain of theaters on the
west coast, and George operates
an eastern chain.
At Los Angeles, Charlie Skou-
ras declined to comment on the
reports.
Salomon said he is not a mem
ber of the syndicate and that 81
can't tell you a thing about it. -
He replied in the negative when
asked whether he had bought
the Cardinals, but said that sew
eral months ago negotiations
with Breadon chad gone on. -
He did not elaborate.
Breadon gained control of the
Cardinals and became the
clubs president in 1921,a a time
when it was facing serious fl
nancial troubles. Soon thereafter
the Cardinals put into operation
the minor league farm system
envisioned by Branch Ricky
then a power in the clubs front

adopted by other major league
clubs. This was the beginning
of the Cardinals climb from
rags to riches. The club has wor

In answer to questions, Veeck
elaborated on his brief statement
by saying VIRTUALLY a two-year'

was non-cancellable' and il
Boudreau were fired before the
two years expired he would be
paid the contractual salary.
That salary was not disclosed

local sportswriters at up to $780,

The decision to retain Boud-

Both teams start their plays

unbalanced line with its T, and
rolls up the yardage on the

Tileston has been defeated

LOUIS IN PHOENIX
EXHIBITION BOUT
By Nat Low

Joe Louis, Worlds heavyweight
boxing champion, came to Phoenix
last Friday night and demonstrate
ed his fistianic prowess by calmly
mauling two local boxers into
states of staggering insensitivity
though modestly mindful Of the
fact that it would be a breach of
professional boxing ethics to have
flattened his helpless opponets be-
fore a blood-thristy crowd of
PhoenicianS.
Indian Roland Spencer was first
to venture within the roped arena
to oppose the champion. The Indian
kept within close reach of Joe
and attempted to counter-punch
during the first round during which
time Louis staggered him again
and again with jolting left jabs.
Obviously the champ had been
pulling his punches, so the crowd
asked for more. Louis started
riotus laughter in the second Stanza
when he boxed his opponent with
both fists (gloves on of course)
simultaneously on each side of his
head. Finally in the waning
moments, Louis began a lombard
ment of lefts and rights, still half
thrown, which staggered the Indian
mercilessly until the bell haulted
the slaughter.
Jack Baxter, Louis second two
round opponet, who possessed more
of a beer-belly than the champion
himself who apparently is not in
peak condition, decided to exchange
punches with the Brown Bonner.
During the first round, Louis took
a good deal of punishment, at least
as far as Jack was capable, even

permitting Baxter to punch him
fully a dozen times in the mid
section. Louis, however, realizing
that his fans had not been satisfied
with his soft working-over of these
near-amateurs, began to swat his
opponent with rights and lefts
which shook poor Baxter to his
knees. Gamely Jack came back for
more and Louis found it almost
necessary to hold him up after
a few more staggering blows. Both
Louis and Baxter were recipients
of a rousing applause by the thous-
ands of spectators. Indian Roland
Spencer, too, received grand
ovation for his gameness in facing
the champion.
Every match on the card Friday
night featured one or more
Negroes.
Tony Martin, Arizona's heavy
weight, champion, dropped close
ten round decision to Mexico's
heavyweight champion, Ernie
Rios. Perhaps the more evenly
fought match was between two
local fighters, young Archie Cooper
and Noble Johnson. Archie showed
superb fighting talent while
Noble, boxing from crouched
position, time and time again
Showered his rival with a series
of telling blows. The decision,
though questioned by spectators,
was given as a draw.
