POMPTON LAKES, N. J., June 17.—You aren’t around this camp very long before you get one very definite impression and that is Joe Louis entertains an enthusiastic dislike for Max Schmeling, his opponent of next Wednesday night. It is an old dodge in the beak busting business to stress the fierce enmity one fighter holds for another and mostly it is fictional. Stories of grudge fights, like stories of gem thefts in Hollywood, can usually be speedily dismissed as triple distilled hoakum. But in this case the bitter feeling the young Negro sullenly manifests against the German challenger seems genuine enough. This apparent anger does not stem so much from the humiliation he was forced to endure by the knockout as from allied incidents. The German, in a magazine piece which appeared after the fight, accused Louis of trying to win on a foul when he saw his chances of winning otherwise were hopeless. And on his arrival here some weeks back the German said, in effect, Louis was afraid of him, which amounted to calling him yellow. The young Negro has never offered the slightest alibi for his defeat at the hands of Schmeling. He freely and frankly admits he took a thorough hiding and under the conditions deserved to. What he resents is the charge he is a foul fighter and a frightened fighter. Louis’ anger figures to play a vital part in the fight. It will either win the fight for him or lose it. The only thing you can induce him to say about the situation is that “I waited a long time for him.” This is true. He had nothing to do with the runaround Schmeling received from Jim Braddock last year. » = ® » ” ” HE fact is, Louis wanted Schmeling, not Braddock, despite the lure of the championship. And all the time he was in training for Braddock he was talking about Schmeling. To him Braddock was just a stepping stone and one that offered no serious considerations. An hour after the fight he was being congratulated on winning hampionship. . . . “I ain't whipped that Schmeling yet,” he well wishers. By this statement he agreed with the large he had no right to be hailed as the champion until ned up the score with the German. Since that night he waiting patiently for the chance, and all the time his itterness was expanding. Now the chance is at hand. This bitterness was openly reflected in Louis’ recent boast he would knock out Schmeling in two rounds. It was the first time had made such a boast with respect to an opponent in two vears, or just before he entered the ring against Schmeling. He became chastened after that knockout and refused to predict even a routine victory for himself But now he tells the world he will batter the German to the Or In (wo rounds. This can mean only one thing, that his plan daign is already laid out, that it consists solely and simply f g into Schmeling from the bell, throwing rights and lefts, hoping to reduce him to a shattered hulk as quickly as possible. This is the way enraged men have fought from the days of the stone age.

He won't be fighting in any mad rage. If he clips Louis early he won't rush in wildly for a quick finish. He'll just bide his time and wait for another opening and clip him again, and again. That's the way the German coin collector fought the last time. For the most part s the way he always has fought. There is no reason to suspect he will fight any differently this time. Patience is his middle name. Louis may belt him out early with the furious sweep of his attack, but if he doesn’t, well— You are likely to see a repetition of the first fight, with Schmeling carefully, cautiously searching for openings and making full use of them. And if Louis’ early charges fail to bring success—granted this is the way he is going to fight—his confidence isn't likely to grow higher. On the contrary i may melt rapidly :

Tising Impressive in Debut, Holding Kansas City to Four Hits.

Times Special MILWAUKEE, June 17—The Indianapolis Indians arrived here today for the opening of a threegame series starting tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Redskins were in a happy franie of mind after taking two out of two from the Kansas City Blues and were bent on keeping up the good work and strengthening their hold on first place. The Kansas City threat disposed of for the time being at least the Tribesmen now were considered to have a good chance of getting into the All-Star game. The team in first place on the morning of July 5 is to play a picked team from the other American Association clubs on July 14 if the leader is an Eastern club and July 15 if the leader is a Western Club. The Redskins scored seven runs in two big innings, the third and

Hemsley Back in Action and Bob Feller Accounts For Victory.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June 17.—The Cleveland Indians, their worst slump of the season broken, dug in today in an attempt to beat back the chal-

Prior to | this two-game streak Cleveland had dropped five in a row as the Yanks moved up with a rush. But things are looking up for Cleveland with rollicking Rollie Hemsley back on the job to catch Bullet Bob Feller. Hemsley, out for three weeks with a broken finger, returned to action yesterday and Feller was able to go the route for the first time since May 30. Feller allowed eight scattered hits, fanned seven and walked four. It was his seventh triumph. That the Indians mean business about holding their lead was dem-

Jack Tising, recently acquired from Louisville, made his 1938 start as a Tribesman and turned in an impressive performance, holding Kansas City to four hits, one a homer by Eddie Miller which accounted for the Blues second marker in the seventh. The Tribe garnered 14 hits off

Fifth Straight Now Goal of Kingan’s

The Kingan baseball club will seek its fifth straight victory when it meets the original Indianapolis A. B. Cs at Perry Stadium next Thursday night. They chalked up their fourth consecutive victory last night by defeating the Louisville Black Colonels, 7 to 5, at Perry Stadium. Grabbing an early lead with two runs in the first and third innings, the Packers stayed in front throughout. Charlie Uhlir, outfielder, and Louie Coto, second baseman, each got two hits for Kingan's.

The defeat trimmed the Giants’ lead to 1': games over the idle Cubs. In the only other National League game the Phillies, behind Claude Passeau’s six-hit pitching, won from the Cardinals, 3-2.
