Coleman hadn't started g game since Aug. 2S when he was batted out in the first inning and yesterday'* defeat was his fifth straight. Mack was criticised for using him when It was staff ace Lou Brissde'* turn to pitch.

He said he would use him against the Yankees again next week The Tiger.* got their slx.runs on . ibfeiFwalk* and three hit*, inelud [ Ing two run doubles by Johnny Groth and Myron Ginsberg.

Sept. 22. i —(l’l*l—At the peak of training. ■ Exxard Charles wa* so sharp today that his "form" menaced Jpe Louis in their heavyweight title fight at I Yankee stadium. Wednesday night.

No longer was lie content to back-track and • counter. ■ in every round with his i four sparmate* he wa* surprising i Jy aggressive. And he nailed his - mate*, glulust a-i often with straight - rights to head or body, as with his ■ more dep< ndable left jabs and left hook.*. Although Exxard insisted. “I am training tor a.!5-round fight." hl* 1 concentration on right-hand 1 smashes and his savage bunds of 1 hooks to the head five or six thrown with blinding speed indicated he was preparing to knock out the ex-champion. When the sparring was finished, comanager Jake Mint* declared exultantly: “he's hit his peak He'* ready to take ixiuis right now. And we want to keep him that way. So. he'll spar four round* or less on Saturday and the same on Sunday. Maybe he won't box at all on Monday And certainly not hin Tues, day." Before the. workout.
