still trying, though the tenn

may do it."
In 1887 Snead registered a

gave him q then record 281

It was a heart breaking

OF II In row on the road is held
by the 1916 Giants.
Take on Athletics Next.
Playing at an 1892 clip on the
road, the White Sox couldn't ask
for a more agreeable setup in
their quest of that distinction.
After battling the forlorn Mats,
they'll tangle with the cellar
dwelling Athletics for five games.
Victorious in Is of II games
away from home, the White Sox
haven't dropped a road game since
the Indians whipped them at
Cleveland exactly a month ago.
More important at the moment
though, is Chicago's 31a-game
bulge over the second place
Yankees. The White Sox are hope

about the Battle of the Ancients.
At best only $4,000 cash customers
are expected to shell out about
100000 for the make-or-b -break
fight of the aging contenders.
Louis ruled a 3-to-1 favorite
to win the 15-rounder. but there
wasn't much betting going on.
The 37-year-old Brown Bomber
promised his followers a knockout
victory "inside of six rounds"
| Savold. a 35-year-old reformed
Iplayboy who has had more ups
and downs than a kid on a pogo
stick, is confident he'll do all the
blasting.
"I'll knock him out in five
rounds" said blond Lee.
Interest in Joe COols.
The interest of the public in
Louis fights has cooled with the
waning power Of the Brown Bomb
er's right-hand wallop. The ex-
heavyweight king hasn't hit a
homer with his right since he
fattened Jersey Joe Walcott on
June Is. 1948.
In his five outings since the
Ezzard Charles debacle, Joe
hasn't shown much of an i'm
provement. AS for Savold, he's
been away too long for the fans
to get excited about him.
The one-time bartender and
bouncer has had just two fights in
I212 years, both four-round efforts
in London with Bruce Woodcock,
the British Empire king who had
been heading for oblivion. In the
last one, on June 6. 1850, Lee
stopped Woodcock in four rounds
and won British and Spanish rec
ognition as worlds heavyweight
champion.

There will be no television or
radio broadcast of the event to
compete with the ticket sale. Thea
ters in Washington. Baltimore,
Albany, N. Y; Cleveland and Chi
cago will show the fight on their
movie screens. The telecast will
be piped into these houses through
a closed circuit. You'll have to
lpay, either way, to see the con-
test. At the Polo Grounds it will
cost you from $3.50 to $40.
Louis, dead set on getting a re-
turn crack at Charles this Sep
tember, has trained religiously for
this fight. And from what you
can judge of training workouts,
he has looked better than in a
long time. He's had more snap
in his punches and has un-
corked a couple of combinations
lefts following rights and vice
versa. He hasn't shown much
Of that in the past year.
Trimmed down to around 200
pounds-he weighed 218 for
Charles last September-Louis has
voiced more confidence than in
a long time.

Savold said he'd weigh 100 or
1872 pounds.

If they live up to their promises,
