YORK, May 9.—1 am sitting in the back room sipping my akro soup and minding my own business when a gentleman ups to me and asks: “Who’s the best right hand hitter you ever saw?” I do not like to put myself on record right off for fear that the good Dr. Wirt will fetch me into court as a poisonous double-cross combination, Tugwell to Kerensky to Stalin, and so I mumble that Harry Heilmann wasn’t so bad. “Heilmann? What was his weight.?” Now sports writers are supposed to know a lot of intimate things about the chaps they write about, but I have never made it a practice to keep in mind the exact poundage of the athletes on account I do not regard the information as being vitally important, or exciting. “Well, who'd he fight? Who'd he fight?" snapped the gentleman, vexed at my none too subtle attempt to lead with hem and trump with haw. mm* m m m THE imperious attitude aroused my flaming Corsican spirit and I let the gentleman have both barrels. I became dogmatic. I became so dogmatic that I snapped and growled and frothed at the mouth. I practically became mad dogmatic. “Say, if you must know, Heilmann was the greatest right-hand hitter I ever saw and I don’t believe he ever had a fight in his life. There was no part of the hoodlum about him." Well, it developed we were not playing in the same league. Thp gentleman was talking about right-hand hitters in the prize ring and I was under the impression he was talking about right-hand hitters in baseball. It was just an honest mistake, and up to then I hadn’t been able to appreciate Mr. Insull's pathetic position. I wasn’t so sure who was the best right-hand hitter in the prize ring. Ritchie had a nice right hand. Dempsey, too. Carpentier made it his ace. Kilbane could pour it in. But for the most part ail the great fighters I had seen relied mainly on left hands. m m m m m m THE gentleman interrupted to state he had in mind heavyweifhts only and before I could answer—which was both fortunate and enlightening for me—he said the choice would have to be made among three men— Johnson. Willard and Camera. “Now name your choice!” he demanded. (Everybody says the life of a sports writer is softer than a left-hand pitcher's brain and probably it is, but there are times when a sports writer would like to be left alone with his musings on the mysteries of life, the influence of Ibsen on the modern drama and what baseball will do when Ruth is gone. But are these precious moments ever his own? No! Always there is somebody with a problem involving A and B or old subscriber and constant reader, or a strange gentleman who weaves into the backroom demanding to know who is the best right-hand hitter in the prize ring.) You can stand only so much of this and then you drop your graciousness and become sternly authoritative. “Now let me tell you something —You begin. But you don’t get very far. “No, let me tell you something,” the weaving gentleman insists. •‘Johnson was the greatest right-hand hitter, Willard was the next and Camera the next-er" (words like that are born in such moments). “And what's more, they were all right-hand upper-cutters. Did you ever stop to think of that?” m m m ana THE truth is I hadn't. The gentleman, of course, was right. Equally interesting, it seemed to me. was the fact that all three of them became world champions and. further, all three of them belonged to the outsize or giant class. Johnson. Willard and Camera represent the three largest physical specimens the heavyweight championship class ever knew. There must be something more than a poetic coincidence that these three giants, specializing in right uppercuts, became titleholders. It must be that the giants can do more damage with the right uppercut than with any other punch. If that is so, why?

JIMMY DYKES IS NEW WHITE SOX PILOT

Veteran Infielder Succeeds Fonseca After Club Loses 11 of 15 Games This Season Student of Connie Mack Plans Lineup Changes, Predicts Chicagoans Will Stage Comeback; Waivers on Ousted Leader. By United Preen * WASHINGTON, May 9.—Louis Comiskey. who has spent a couple of hundred thousand dollars trying to get tie White Sox out of the American League cellar, called on Jimmy Dykes, student of Connie Mack, today to bring his ball club badk to life. The chubby and youthful White Sox owner dismissed Lew Fonseca, who managed the Sox lor two years and fifteen games of the present season. In Fonseca’s place, Comiskey elevated Dykes, who came to the Sox along with A1 Simmons and Mule Haas in a SIOO,OOO deal with the Athletics in 1933. The poor showing of the Sox in the face of Comiskey’s heavy purchases of new talent was the direct reason for Fonseca’s dismissal. Comiskey had banked heavily on the Simmons-Dykes-Haas deal and other purchases to lift his club into the pennant contending class.

U. S. Walker Cup Captain Selects Two-Ball Team Ouimet Paired With Dunlop, Goodman With Little for British Play. By United Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 9. —Captain Francis Ouimet of the United States Walker cup team has paired his players with an eye to balance and stability for the twoday international foursome matches with the British opening Friday. Results of these four two-ball matches are of utmost importance for a cup victory. Despite the supposed superiority of the British in foursome play, America has paved the way for every cup victory, except in 1923, with triumphs in twoball competition. The Americans will be paired as follows: Ouimet and George Dunlap Jr., United States amateur champion; Johnny Goodman, United States open champion, and W. Lawson Little, long driving Californian; Jack Westland and Gus Moreland, and H. Chandler Egan and Max Marston. Johnny Fischer, the young Cincinnatian, will be saved for Saturday's singles because of his lack of experience over the two-ball route. When he enters the singles it is expected that Marston will be the bench-warmer. The foursomes and the following eight singles matches are over thirty-six holes. Popular Welters Collide at Hall Double Windup to Feature Friday Mat Bill A return meeting between Duke Rupenthall, popular Milwaukee welterweight, and Jack Domar, Austin, Tex., veteran, shares the spotlight with a scrap involving “Lord" Patrick Lansdowne Finnegan, British welterweight ace, and Bobby Novak, Columbus, 0., veteran, on the weekly program of lighter weight wrestling at Tomlinson hall Friday night. Only an opening preliminary remains to be lined up to complete the card, and Promoter Jimmie McLemore expected to line this up Wednesday. In the first scrap between Rupenthall and Domar, the latter was disqualified for rough tactics after an even battle. Rupenthall and Finnegan battled to a ninety-minute draw' here recently and are rated among the most capable and most popular welterweights to show' here this season. Novak rates close to this trio on the strength of his lone previous local appearance, when he flashed class to down Jack : (Shanghai) Parker.

Prodigal Joe Mat Victor

Savoldrs Drop-Kicking Upsets Slagel in Feature Event at Armory Before Capacity Crowd.

THE Prodical Son,” a thrilling two-act melodrama, played to a capacity house at the Armory last night, with Joe Savoldi, erstwhile Notre Dame gridiron hero, in the role of the returning prodigal, ably supported by Sol Slagel as the fatted calf who was butchered imucn to the delight of the aforementioned capacity house). Banned from this state many months ago, Jumping Joe returned to his lofty pinnacle of wrestling popularity here by drop-kicking the roly-poly Kansan into submission, first in thirty-one, minutes and again twenty-two minutes later.

During his “exile,” Joe the Jumper picked up many tricks of the trade and last night was a far more polished grappler than on previous appearances here. Since Slugger Sol is one of the top men in the Indianapolis “Public Mat Enemy’’ list, his defeat brought great gobs of glee from the 3.500 customers who were stacked into the arena. It was a rough and tuble tussle all the way. Siagel enlivening the action with punching that brought grunts from Savoldi und boos from the crowd, and Jumping Joe returning the compliments with gusto, Sol doing the grunting this time and the crowd going into its cheering routine. Joe treated the customers to a new one when he backed Siagel into a corner, locked his legs between the two top ropes and left Sol hanging there, spread out like a hurdler who forgot to land. Now that Jumping Joe. the people’s choice, has whipped that nasty old Siagel man, Indianapolis fans have another job all cut out for him. Next on the line is Frank Speer. If Lloyd Carter, Hercules A. C. matchmaker, can get the big Georgian in the same ring with Joe, the S. R. O. sign would go up at the Armory again Speer tacked uj* another victory last night, but only in the opinion i

better than sixth, only one place bettfer than in the first year of Fonseca’s regime. And this year the club has lost nine straight games up to today and eleven out of fifteen games played. Last night came the decision which had been pending for some time. “Dykes will succeed Fonseca,” Comiskey announced. "It’s for the good of the club.” What Comiskey did not say was that he had accompanied the club on the road trip east for the first time since he succeeded his father as owner five years ago, in order to get first hand knowledge of W'hythe Sox were losing so many ball games. Wavers Are Asked Waivers are being asked on Fonseca, who is returning to Chicago today. If w'aived, Fonseca will be declared a free agent to enable him to bargain for another big league berth. Dykes has been seen as a possible White Sox manager ever since he first was traded to the club. However, it had been thought when Fonseca was signed to a one-year contract last fall that no change would be made during the present season. Dykes was enthusiastic over possibilities of developing the Sox and plans to make some early changes in the team lineup and batting order. And he wants new and better pitchers, if they can be found. Will Play Third Base Dykes said he was positive the club could be lifted out of eighth place, which it now occupies. “We’ve got plenty of good players,” he said. “Os course, we aren’t going to turn into a pennant contender overnight, but I know w'e can do a lot better than we have been doing.” Dykes will continue to play third base. Fonseca had nothing to say about the dismissal. He had been w'ith the White Sox since 1931, coming from Cleveland in a trade for Willie Kamm. He succeeded Donie Bush as manager in the winter of 1932. He began as a playing manager but this spring retired to coach the club from the dugout due to an injury. Dykes is a strong and consistent hitter and rated the best third baseman in the league. He played for Mack for fourteen years and is schooled thoroughly in the veteran Athletics leader’s baseball strategy. It was believed likely some other changes might follow his appointment.

of Referee Heze Clark. That makes it official, however. Speers* opponent was Matros Kirelenko, husky Russian. Matros was out in front during most of the bout, then Speers broke loose with some heavy slugging and hair-pulling. Despite repeated warnings by Clark, Speers continued to bombard the Russian’s chin and face until Kirelenko. bleeding from the mouth, tumbled to the mat. When Clark raised the Georgian’s hand in victory the crowd went wild. The irrepressible Clark, usually right, muffed one this time. Speers should have been disqualified. The time was twenty-seven minutes. In the opening tussle, Dorva Roche, 229, New Orleans, tossed Hans Bauer, 212, Germany, in twelve minutes with a flying tackle.

Maxie on Gold Standard Baer ‘Delighted’ by Reports He’ll Mary Blond Jean Harlow; ‘Love at First Sight,’ He Says.

By United Press M EW YORK, May 9.—Reports that he would marry blond Jean Har“V ~ he admits with pride, came into his life like a bombshell, delighted Maxie Baer, the heavyweight adonis, but there was no confirmation today that his delight was shared by the actress Maxie, whose manager said 1!

that’s nothing new, Maxie falls for all the blonds,” said it was “perfectly swell” that rumors of an engagement had been circulated since Jean admitted her decision to cut loose from her present husband, Hal G. Rosson. “That means she must be thinking about me,” he said modestly. “If we do get married, the date is up to Jean. • I could do worse, couldn’t I?” Maxie gave his interview with becoming blushes. “She’s the grandest girl I ever met,” he said. “It was love at first ajght—as far as i was concerned. I think we’d get along fine. I need a smart, polished running mate like her.” As he talked, Maxie glanced at a flashing slave bracelet on his left wrist. “Naw,” he said, “that wasn’t from Jean. A New York dame gimme it.” m a m MAXIE was suspended by the New York athletic commission yesterday for failure to appear before that body to discuss the June heavyweight championship battle with Primo Camera. The fistic moguls, however, said they would meet again Friday, and that if Maxie could offer a satisfactory alibi for not appearing yesterday he would be reinstated.

Dykes to Ask Old Connie for Managerial Pointers BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 9—Notes from a big league press box: Jimmy Dvkes new manager of the Chicago White Sox, is the hardest hustler in base.ball He learned the major league game in sixteen years under Connie Mack, master manager of the Athletics. One of his first moves in a campaign to strengthen his team will be to confer with Mack in Phila delphia tomorrow morning. ua

Dykes has been as loyal to Lew Fonseca, whom he succeeded today, as a manager could wish. Since he came from the Athletics in the winter of 1932 he has worked for the team all the time. When the Phillies pounded Lon Warneke, Cubs’ star, off the mound the other day with a five-run barrage in the third inning, something went wrong with Warneke’s arm. He suddenly lost everything he had on the ball and was rapped for five straight hits. The next day he tried out his arm and' it was all right again. Linus Frey, Brooklyn third baseman. is one of the few bookkeepers and stenographers in the majors. Emil Leonard, Brooklyn rookie pitcher, is the only Belgian in big league baseball. Jimmy Jordan, Brooklyn shortstop, is the only player who ever hit a home run in his first official time at bat in the big show. The White Sox with eleven collegians top the other American League clubs in former college players. The Yankees and Tigers come next with ten each. Moe Berg, Washington catcher, * is baseball’s most educated player, having attended Princeton, Columbia and the University of Paris (France) he speaks eight languages. Lou Chiozza, Phillies’ third baseman, is the son of a former Italian consul. He’s one of the tallest thirdsackers in the majors. Pronounce his name “Kee-o-zo.” After going through an eightgame batting slump during which his batting average dwindled to .280, Chuck Klein is hitting the ball lustily again. He has made two singles, two doubles and a home run in his last five trips to the plate. His batting average is now .315.

Tennis Queen May Never Play Again, Cup Star Reveals Helen Wills Moody Still Handicapped by Injury. By United Press NEW YORK, May 9.—-Helen Wills Moody probably will not be able to play any tournament tennis this year because of her back injury and may be permanently out of top rank competition, according to Alice Marble, San Francisco, who will sail tonight for Europe with other members of the Wightman Cup team. Miss Marble, second ranking member of the team, said Mrs. Moody had been unable to play any tennis during the winter because of the injury to her fifth lumbar vertebra, which forced her out of the Wightman Cup matches here iast year and forced her default to Helen Jacobs in the national women’s finals. This injury, coupled with the psychological handicaps Mrs. Moody would face in a comeback attempt, mitigate against her ever regaining the women's tennis erbwn.

Indians Clash With Brewers in Night Fray Lights Go On at Stadium This Evening; Tribe Moves Up. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sports Editor Indianapolis baseball fans will get their first peek at the 1924 Milwaukee Brewers and also their first 1934 glimpse of night baseball tonight when Allan Sothoron brings his Cream City crew to Perry stadium to engage the Indians. Action will begin at 8:15, and it will be the first of a three-game series Workmen brushed off the lighting towers yesterday and adjusted the lamps that will flood the field with artificial daylight. Perry stadium has one of the best lighting systems in the country and the ball players are expected to display as much class and hustle as in other years when night games were the vogue. Weather permitting, nocturnal contests will be staged here every night except on Sunday during the Indians' home schedule. Blues Follow Brewers After Friday, the Brewers will move on and the Kansas City Blues will open with Red Killefer’s Tribesmen on Saturday night. The Indians’ night arrangements list Mondays and Fridays as “ladies’ night.” On other nights, and on Sunday, grandstand admission for women will be 50 cents and 85 cents in the boxes. The Indians were idle yesterday, and sc were the Minneapolis Millers, St. Paul Saints and Louisville Colonels. The four clubs performed in double headers last Sunday and used yesterday’s tilts to supply the bargain attractions. Owing to the defeat of Kansas City by Columbus yesterday the Hoosiers slipped into third place, ahead of the Kawtown pastimes. Louisville is second and the Mauling Millers are parading out in front. The Colonels threaten to spring an upset in the league and apparently have a stronger team than many experts estimated before the current campaign got under way. Bruno Betzel, Louisville pilot, is happy to be listed as the dark horse entry. Wingard Changes Uniforms In a Milwaukee uniform at Perry stadium tonight will be Ernie Wingard. the Indians’ former first sacker. He was sold to the Brewers on Monday and is slated to supplant the veteran Dudley Branom at first base for Manager Sothoron’s club. The Brewers are leaded down with new faces this season. The club directors made wholesale changes over winter. Their chief sluggers are Sullivan, Kloza, Webb and Gullic. Judge K. M. Landis, baseball commissioner, has ordered a change in the stipulations of the LouisvillePhiladelphia Athletics deal involving players Radcliff, Detore and Erickson. In the original agreement, the Colonels received outfielder Ray Radcliff and infielder George Detore, with $15,000 to follow on Oct. 1 and catcher Hank Erickson to join the Athletics in the spring of 1935. Valuable Deal for Colonels Judge Landis ruled that the Athletics could only obtain an option on Erickson and that the $15,000 must be paid to Louisville by Sept. 1, if the Mackmen wished to exercise the option. The Colonels have decided to keep Radcliff and Detore and, unles Connie Mack forks over the fifteen “grand" by Sept. 1, they also will have Erickson. Experts around the American Association are wondering what kind of gas the Colonels used to hypnotize the Athletics. Erickson does not measure up to the value of $15,000 in cash plus two players of the caliber of Radcliff and Detore. Radcliff hit .364 with St. Paul last year and Detore batted .352 for Toledo. Erickson’s average with Louisville was .298. It is said the Athletics closed the transaction for Erickson last fall when they were making arrangements to sell Mickey Cochrane to Detroit.

Chances in Net Play Slight, Says Vet. By United Press PITTSBURGH, May 9.—William T. (Big Bill) Tilden, whose tennis game kept the Davis Cup in the United States from 1920 to 1927, would not give two cents for our chances this year, he indicated in an interview here. Furthermore, Tilden would not bet much more than that on the Americans in the inter-zone finals. “The United States can’t possibly win this year,” said Tilden. “I believe they will not even win the inter-zone finals.” Tilden was loud in his praise of Sidney Wood, whom he called “the only player on the team.” He was confident of the good management, also, of R. Norris Williams of Philadelphia, but for the other members of the team he had less praise. CAVALCADE iYTnTeRED Derby Winner to Compete at Chicago on June 2.
