JOE LOUIS TO SET FAST PACE

THAT'S WHAT BLACKBURN

SAYS

A CCORDING to the fistic dope out of Pompton Lakes, N. J., where Joe Louis is training, one valuable lesson was absorbed by the heavyweight king and his entourage watching Henry Armstrong's massacre of Barney Ross last week. Armstrong proved that one way to handle a smart, cagey veteran is to keep right after him, brush past his defenses, pound away at the body and wear him down with a furious pace. . . . Ross was conceded one of the shiftiest and cleverest boxers in the ring, but all his shiftiness and cleverness availed him nothing once Armstrong's rip-roar-ing pace caught up to him. Trainer Jack Blackburn, who has played so important a part in Louis’ spectacular career, freely admits that he picked up several valuable “pointers” watching Arnistrong annihilate Ross. “Of course, Louis isn't the same style of fighter as Armstrong,” Blackburn said, “but the general idea is there. Joe, like Henry, has the youth, speed and stamina. Max Schmeling, like Ross, has lost his youth and speed and relies now on experience and generalship. The German likes to set his own pace and make the other fellow do the work, while Max keeps him at a distance, pegs him with left hands and measures him for rights.

“Last time Joe fought just the way Schmeling wanted him to. This time it will be different. Joe is going to learn from Armstrong. He's going to set a fast pace right from the start, work inside of Schmeling’s defense and batter away at Max's body. -Schmeling isn’t going to stand up long under that pace and pounding. Anyway, that's my opinion.” ” = = u u un ERNON WASHINGTON, St. Paul outfielder who used to play with the Indianapolis Indians and sold by them to the Chicago White Sox, may be through as a ball player. . . . The sympathy of the fans and the league is with Washington, who was injured seriously in a collision with Bob Boken, a teammate, at Toledo Saturday. Washington's shoulder was wrenched and torn. , . . He won the American Association batting championship two years ago and has been well out in front this season. . .. One of the most popular players in the league, he was the Saints’ powerhouse and apparently was headed for a big year. With Washington and Boken shelved in one accident, the jinx hit the Saints again yesterday at Perry Stadium when Leroy Anton, first sacker, became ill on the field and had to leave the game.

» = ” ” un n

ORE than 12,000 fans turned out for the week-end games at Perry Stadium and Leo Miller, general manager, has visions of climbing out of the recession. . . . The paid gate Saturday amounted to 6230 and yesterday it was 6129. Crowds at old Washington Park used to hit 10,000 at Sunday dou-ble-headers but a depression and a recession cut in since the old days and thousands of fans are not as prosperous. Anyway, attendance here is picking up, the Indians are leading the league and the ball club officials are pleased with the gradual increase of interest. Ray Schalk’s team continues to hustle and play a snappy brand of baseball, and the new management feels sure they'll play to capacity once or twice before the season ends.

FFICIALS of the Cincinnati club have sent a limited number of grandstand tickets to Indianapolis for the “On to Cincinnati” baseball party sponsored by the Indianapolis Knights of Columbus in honor of Barney Mike Kelly, Indianapolis, Boston Bees’ coach. The Bees are to meet the Reds in a double-header at Crosley Field next Sunday, and in addition to cheering Barney Kelly the local rooters also will do some shouting for five players with the Bees who formerly played with the hometown Indians. . . . They are Jim Turner, Johnny Cooney, Johnny Riddle, Rabbit Warstler and Bob Kahle. Two special trains are planned out of Indianapolis. . . . For other complete details contact the K. of C. representative at 212 Guaranty Building.

LBY FLETCHER, Boston Bees’ first sacker, was cheated out of a chance to set a new record when the Cubs beat his club in Chicago last Friday. . . . He had 19 putouts in eight innings. . . . The National League record is 21, and had the last inning been played Friday, Fletcher might have topped it. . . . But the Cubs were ahead and didn’t bat in the ninth, so Elby was denied an opportunity to get his name in the record book. Lou Fette of the Bees is a tough luck hurler this season. . .. Every time he starts he runs into stiff opposition. . . . Three of his defeats have been in extra innings, and in one he didn’t allow a run until the 13th inning.

‘Redskins Win Two and Tie

Third Encounter Over Week-End.

It's a hoss race in the American Association nowadays and anything is likely to happen. The first four teams are waging a bitter battle and Toledo, running fourth, is only three games behind Indianapolis, holding down first place by two games over Kansas City. Minneapolis, in third place by two percentage points over Toledo, one game back of the Blues and three behind the Indians. Ray Schalk’s Redskins emerged from the week-end warfare with two victories and a tie and will go to bat against St. Paul tonight in the series final at 8:15. It is a ladies’ night attraction. Lloyd Johnson who worked one inning against Kansas City Saturday, probably will be assigned to the Tribe rubber if his arm feels all right. Otherwise, Manager Schalk will have to gamble with a second stringer. Number Seven for Page

After annexing a rip-roaring T- |

to-6 victory over the Blues Saturday night in which Glenn Chapman hammered home the winning run with a double in the final inning, the Indians took on the Saints yesterday, won the first half of the twin

bill, 7 to 3, and got a 2-to-2 tie out | of she second which was halted after the eighth by the 6 o'clock |

law. Vance Page pitched one day before he was due and held the Aposties to six hits in the matinee opener. He settled down after the third stanza and held the invaders to two safeties in the last six frames. The reliable righthander rolled up six strikeouts and issued no walks as he registered his seventh victory of the season against only one defeat. Glenn Chapman belted a home run over the left field wall in the fifth with Fauseftt on base to give the Indians the lead. Bob Latshaw pounded Vic Frasier's offerings for two doubles and a single and Andy Pilney collected three safe blows,

Receives Fine Support

Great defensive play by Steve Mesner and Latshaw helped keep Page out of hot water in the sixth. Vance received errorless support and this, with his splendid pitching, treated the crowd to some rare entertainment. Shortstop York led the Saints’ at bat with a triple and a pair of singles. Don French and Hugo Glaerner hooked up in a close mound duel in the second game and both received poor support in the scoring innings. The Indians held a lead of 2 to 1 going into the eighth when a bad

throw by Mesner, a sacrifice and an |

error by Vince Sherlock accounted for the Saints’ tieing run. Two singles and a error brought the Indians one marker in the second and Chapman's triple and a wild throwin chalked up a second run for the Tribe in the third. Bejma’s single, Stumpf's double and a long fly by Berger accounted for St. Paul's first tally off French in the fourth. The fielding feature was a shoe top catch by Chapman on Stumpf's line drive in the sixth. | In Saturday night's game both | Kansas City and the Indians em- | ployed three pitchers and Lloyd | Johnson received credit for the | Tribe's victory.

Terry Prophecy That Bruins Would Be Team to Beat

| | Rings True.

| | NEW YORK, June 6 (U.P) —Bil | Terry's preseason prediction that | Chicago was “the club to beat” in | the National League, gained authors ity today as the Cubs assumed the lead, a half-game ahead of Terry's Giants. | It was the first time the Cubs ( have had the privilege of looking | down at the other seven clubs and it climaxed a drive begun on May 17 when they were in third place— | 64 games behind the pace-setting | Giants, | They began their spurt by lick« | ing the New Yorkers two in a row, | then went on to win 13 of their [last 17 starts. This, coupled with | the Giants’ six-game losing streak, turned the trick. And now that Manager Charley Grimm's pitchers have started to click, the Cubs are going to be tough to dislodge. ¥xcept in one instance, a Chicago pitcher has gone the route in the Cubs’ last 14 games.

No. 6 for Carleton

Chicago beat Philadelphia, 7-1, yesterday, both teams getting eight hits. The Cubs bunched theirs to | do all their scoring in two big ine nings. Tex Carleton went the route | for Chicago, scoring his sixth vice | tory. Cincinnati added another game | to New York's losing streak when | Johnny Vandermeer beat them, 4-1, | Hhis three-hit hurling dropped the league champions out of the lead | for the first time since April 27. Tt | was Vandermeer’s fifth win in seven starts and the Reds’ fifth straight | over the Giants. Boston and St. Louis divided a doubleheader. The Cardinals won ‘the opener, 7-6, when Elbert Fletcher's wild throw into the grandstand permitted Pepper Martin to come home from second with the winning run in the ninth. The Bees blasted four pitchers for 14 | hits to win the second, 10-3, behind Mil Shoffner's nine-hit hurling. A 15-hit attack climaxed by a sixe run burst in the sixth inning gave the Dodgers a 10-6 win over Pittse burgh. In the American League, the lead« ing Cleveland Indians increased | their margin to four games when | they nosed Washington 65-4 in 10 innings, The second-place Yankees fell a game farther behind when they were edged 6-6 by St. Louis,

Vernon Kennedy notched his ninth straight victory with a nines | hit performance as the Tigers wal« | loped Boston 10-4, | The White Sox snapped a 10[game losing streak when they beat the Athletics 8-2 in the first game of a double-header, but the A's took the nighteap 7-6 on successive home runs by Bob Johnson and Rookie Sam Chapman in the seventh.
