- Y. Southpaw With “Ailing Arm’ No Little Put Out Over Affair, Williams Learns; Club Executive Makes Habit of Spying on His Players.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer ; NEW YORK, June 19.—The story that Mr. Goofy Gomez, the baseball bowler, is very irate because the Yankees have had two flat feef

tailing him. as ultimatuming.

“They must stop this or trade me,” Mr. Gomez is quoted

It develops the person responsible for this reprehensible procedure is . Ed. Barrow, business manager of the Yankees. When the pitcher developed a pitching weakness, which defied the science of medical men, the unsympathetic Mr. Barrow decided to approach ‘the case from an-

other angle. . Ignoring the constitutional rights ; free: citizenry, : Mr. Barrow d in a ‘couple of sleuths and, in said: “I'm paying this guy $20,000 a year to win ball games for us, and he isn’t winning ‘em. I want you to camp on his coat

ute he’s away from the stadium. Maybe you can crack this _ mystery for us.” : In- due course === Mr. Gomez was Williams called into the office of the heartless executive. 5 “Your arm any better?” “It seems O. K. but I just can't get going.” “Well, I'll tell you what's with you and your arm ., . . . And with that the fiend in human form reached into his desk and pulled out a report which © traced in detail Mr. Gomez's activi- + ties for the past ten days—or rather nights. The report showed the pitcher had been hanging around the Broadway hot spots and getting + home with the milk man. “That's: what's wrong with your arm,” growled Mr. Barrow. “That's why you are blowing up in the sixth and seventh inning. There’s nothing wrong with your arm. It’s vour head. Better guys than you have ‘lost their fast one in those joints. ‘Get wise to yourself.”

LAINLY Mr. Barrow is one of ; those stubborn, unreasonable fellows who feel that if a pitcher is paid big dough he ought to make ? ‘some slight effort to earn it. In the | case of Mr. Gomez it seems down- | ‘right brutal to interfere with his ay pleasures, and tends to: prove at Mr. Barrow has no apprecia‘tion of the finer things of life. This, df course, will come as no surprise to those who know Mr. Barrow. He has never been very considerate of the athletes, especially When they begin to blow ball games under circumstances that are not readily understood. He has a very - vile habit of making it his business to understand, and as a result he is not looked upon as a lovable soul.

Times Special EW YORK, June 19—Prof.

Billy McCarney,’ the old prize fight manager, is the man who walks alone. The professor keeps on insisting the customers are taking Max Schmeling too cheaply in tonight’s fight. He concedes him at least an outside chance. .\ “I'm not so¢sure Joe Louis is as terrific as everybody claims. I've seen him put up some ordinary fights. He has yet to convince me he isn't a front runner. “Louis got discouraged when ‘he couldn’t keep Patsy Perroni on the floor and finished up like a secondrater. If that could happen against a guy like Perroni, why can't it happen against a man like Schmelg? “I'll say this, if Schmeling gets knocked down tonight and gets up and keeps on swinging, give Louis a lot of trouble.” 2. = ” : HE professor neglected to say how many times he expected Max to keep on swinging. At that,

‘he makes an interesting point. More
