Young Fighter With Braddock

W'imes Special GOLFMORE, Grand Beach, Mich., June 9.—William Godwin Irby. sparring partner for James J. Braddock, is getting his groundwork from (the champion, Manager Jue Gould and Trainer Doc Robb. | With such a foundation, a height of 6 [feet 2 Inches and i184 pounds, the 21-year-old Eufaula, Ala., fellow is expected to go far in boxing circles. He| went to the Loch Sheldrake camp as an amateur with the backing of home-town admirers who id his way to the camp by popular subscription. Irby “covered” the camp for the Eufaula Tribune, and since he was right on the scene he was one of the first writers to report the attack of arthritis that prevented Braddock from meeting Max Schmeling last December.

Started Early

Bill started boxing at Georgia Military ‘Academy in Atlanta. He continued in the sport and also played tackle on the Tulane football team. In Southern amateur bouts he lost only four out of 93 matches and scored 57 knockouts to become amateur heavyweight champion for the region. After his first session in Braddoci’s service he turned professional and since then he has won 12 fights, eight by knockouts and four on decisions. The champion is young Irby’s idol, and about the coming Joe Louis fight, Bill says “Jim is in far better shape than he was at Loch Sheldrake. He should win by a knockout within eight rounds.” Bill will appear on the program June 22, and he, too, will be in great shape.

DETROIT, June 9.—Mickey Cochrane’s tragic accident makes George Tebbetts the first-string catcher of the Detroit Tigers. Detroit’s pennant hopes now rest on the shoulders of the well-built | Tebbetts, who sold himself to the Tigers in backstopping them to second

“Tebbetts is the best prospect since Cochrane,” says Cy Perkins, who caught for the Athletics during Connie Mack's leanest years and who went. to Detroit with Cochrane as coach. Tebbetts is a splendid receiver, which is’ the first requisite of a catcher. The finest backstop is worthless to a club when he is in the dugout with a broken finger. For all their experience, Cochrane and Perkins have perfect hands, and they have taught Tebbetts how to be relaxed at all times, to keep the throwing hand in back of the glove, and to pick the ball out of it with two fingers. Keeping both arms relaxed enables a-catcher to get the ball over his right shoulder and into a throwing position in the quickest possible time. He can throw instantly. when he picks the ball out of the glove with two fingers. You frequently hear a catcher say: “I palmed. the ball and couldn't throw it.” Pitchers like to pitch to Tebbetts. For one of his years the frecklefaced redhead gets a great deal out of them. Accurate Throwing Arm A strong and accurate throwing arm hangs from the 22-year-old Tebbetts’ shoulder. Tebbetts is a college man who thinks and who has caught and

Jean Dubuc beat Paul Kritchel of the Yankees and other scouts to Georgie Tebbetts while he was catching for Nashau, N. H. High School in 1929. The Detroit club heled the youngster through Providence College, which beat Holy Cross to be the Eastern champion in each of the four years it had Tebbetts behind the log.

Indians Meet Champions in Four Battles

Redskins Invade Brewers’ Stronghold; Help Needed On Mound.

Times Special MILWAUKEE, June 9.—The fifthplace Indians are to open a fourgame Series with the champion Brewers at Borchert Field today and will remain in the Cream City through Saturday. It’s the fourth leg of the long road trip and there's still another journey ahead—the long one to Kansas City—before the Tribsters return home to meet Milwaukee at Perry Stadium on Friday night, June 18. | The Thursday and Friday games here will be played at night and the Saturday tilt in the afternoon. Indians and Brewers have met six times this season and the local club has annexed four of the games.

Manager Killefer is expected to use-

Pat McLaughlin on the mound in the series opener and endeavor to move higher in the league standing. Brewers Set for Season The Tribe mound staff is in poor shape at present with a trio of hurlers off stride with sore arms. On the other hand the Brewers are at full strength again and apparently set in all departments for the season. - However, the defending champions are only one-half game ahead of the second-place Toledo Mud Hens. Chief Killefer of the Redskins said he is on the lookout for another pitcher and perhaps am infielder to brace the left side of the diamond. Buck Fausett, a third baseman, is playing shortstop, and Bob Kahle, a rookie, is stationed at the hot corner. Salty Parker, regular shortstop, is riding the bench because of poor stickwork. Cold weather forced the Indians to remain idle in St. Paul yesterday and the team left the Apostle City with two victories and a tie in three tilts played. :
