ELLENvVILLE N. Y., Sept. 30.— Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis - will make his next defense of the title against Lou Nova of California at © ‘Madison | Square ‘Garden in January,

A This was: learned definitely to-

where Fred Apostoli is training for|

Monday ‘night's middleweight tilt with Ceferino .

Despite Nova’s peel poor |

‘showing at Philadelphia two weeks ago, when he was stopped in the 14th round by Tony Galento, it seems that promoter Mike Jacobs and manager Ray Carlen still have confidence in Lou. At Mountain Camp After recovering from the bloody Galento beating, Nova left Thursday for his home in Los Angeles. He will rest there for a month, and then go to a camp in the Sierras -to begin one of the most strenuous preparations ever undertaken by any contender. Carlen will remain in the East until after the World Series. From an unimpeachable source it was learned that Carlen accepted the Louis‘ bout only after a stormy session with Nova in a New York hotel. Carlen gave collegiate Lou the bawling out of his life and threatened -to sell his contract unless Nova agreed to train and fight strictly according to instructions. Carlen accused his fighter of disregarding instructions completely while conditioning for the Maxie Baer and Galento scraps and of operating “like a dunce” in both bouts. Begs for Chance The manager accused Nova of developing an extreme case of Ahe “big head”; he said Lou was lucky Baer didn’t knock him out, and that the Galento beating was the best thing that ever happened to him. Nova frankly admitted that he was guilty on all counts. He promised complete obedience in the future, and begged Carlen to take the Louis fight so he couid redeem himself,

Howe Runners Win Over Boys’ School

Howe's cross-country runners defeated the Indiana Boys’ School's harriers, 23 to 32, yesterday afternoon at Plainfield, Although B. Crousore of the Boys’ School won first, Howe followed with Jack Whited, Robert Alexander and Floyd Bicknell, taking second, third and fourth places, [respectively. Other of Howe's first five to cross the finish line were Bob Schneider and Robert Winter. | The leading runners beside Crousore for the home team were Lint, Ratlif and Johnson.

had been knocked down he called for the same play again, and this time these two made contact on a heave that was good for 12 yards,

and the ball was on the Butler 24. A line punch gained a yard, and then Jim Snyder, Bobcat left alfback, went around left end ‘on a reverse and scotted across the goal line. | Snyder’s kick for the exira point was good, making the score 7 to 0 in favor of Chio University and Butler's rooters were beginning to be subject to elegant aquamarine and indigo moods that matched the weather, Since the Butler defense had seemed so flimsy thus far some of the faint hearted in the stadium began to express the hope that the Bulldogs would be able to keep Ohio University from running up an outlandish. score.

Loyal Rooters Confident

But these kinds of people would have counseled John Paul Jones to use caution, and the tru€ blown-in-the-pop-bottle Bulldog fans still were waiting confidently for the turn of fortune that was to come. Aftr the next kickoff, however, Frank Celarek, Bulldog right halfback, put a chill even in these hardy believers when he fumbled on the Butler 37 and Ohio University’s right tackle, Burnice Crabtree, recovered. On powerful line thrusts and spinners Janiak punched down to the Butler 19," and ‘then Harding saved the day for the Blue and White by intercepting Risaliti’s pass, enabling Kreag to kick out of danger. The quarter ended without further scoring. In the second period an Ohio University drive finally came unglued and Butler took possession on downs on the Blue and White 38. Harding led the locals to their initial first down of the game, but Capt. Bob Connor had a pass intercepted by Snyder who was dropped on the Ohio University’s 30. Again the invaders started a drive and again they were foiled by the Butler line. The rest of the action was comparatively mild.

Crawford Gets Going

Early in the third quarter Crawford made the first of his two valuable contributions to the Butler cause when he blocked Risaliti’s punt and recovered in on the Bobcats’ 33. On the next play Abts took the ball over for a touchdown standing up, and the Ohio University boys couldn’t have been any more fooled by this spinner if someone had turned out the lights. The Butler blocking was so good that once Abts half-way turned his head as he galloped along to see his foes stretched out onthe ground. Connor, who had been taken out earlier, came back in to hold the ball for Harding, but the latter’s kick from placement was wide of the mark. Then came the fourth quarter and the rain. Starting from their own 46, Ohio University made three first downs in a row to go down to the Butler 14, but the Bobcats lost possession on downs, with the Bull-

dogs going on the offensive cn their seven. Abts got off a nice kick that went out of bounds on the visitors’

Here was Crawford's second chance. Charging in fast he blocked the kick and scooped up the ball and was almost away, but Risaliti caught him from behind on the Ohio University 22. A reverse from Connor to Celarek made seven yards, and -Harding passed over the goal line to Vic Lanahan who juggled the ball on the tips of his fingers but finally dropped it.

Bottle of Wine as Bonus Figured In Making Walters a Star Pitcher

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 30,—We don’t suppose - immy Wilson will mind if we tell the story now. It's how he finally persuaded Bucky Walters to try his hand at pitching—the same Bucky Walters who won 27 games for the champion Reds this season. Wilson was managing | the Phillies at the time. This was in ’34. It was announced that the Phillies had purchased a run-of-mine infielder from the Red Sox at approximately the draft price, a fellow named Walters, who had been up and down since ’31. He wasn’t any great shakes as a fielder or: a hitter, either, but he could rifle the ball across the infield. In any event, he would do all right with the Phillies. This gave Wilson two third sackers. Previously he had made a deal with the Giants for Johnny Vergez. ‘Two third basemen are a luxury on any team. On a team like the Phillies it Tehresents wanton extravagance. Discovers a Sinker

“I used to warm Walters up every day before the game,” said Wilson, “partly because we were friends but mostly because of necessity. When you are the manager the players don’t like to be seen with you too much, they are afraid they might be suspected of patronizing.

avout Walters I hadn't known. 1 found he threw a hard ball that dipped. A sinker, as we call it in the dugout. It was as good a sinker as I ever saw. Like every manager I needed ‘pitchers. “Well, I started working on Walters to take up pitching. I didn’t need him at third. Nothing doing! Walters had started out as an infielder and he was going to keep on being one. “I did manage to get him into a couple of games that year but the results were more discouraging than otherwise. I think he pitched about seven innings all told.” The scene shifts to Orlando, Fla., in the spring of ’35. The Phillies, as usual had just had their brains knocked out in an exhibition game. Wilson still needed pitchers and he couldrit get his mind off Walters’ superb sinker ball and what a pitcher he’d make if he'd only get off third base.

Huddles With Coaches

That night he went into a huddle with his two coaches, Dick Spalding

roadhouse on the outskirts of Orlando. Wilson told his coaches to get six bottles of wine, take ‘em to the roadhouse, and: invite Walters there to dinner. He'd drop in later. When Wilson arrived the coaches, following the manager's instructions, were working on Walters who,

in turn, was nibbling thoughtfully at the grape,

and Hans ZLobert. There's a nice

Wilson, dripping with innocence,

pulled up a chair ,.. “What are you muggs talking about? New ways we can blow games?” The two conspirators blandly explained how they were trying to prevent Walters from wasting his life as an obscure infielder when he had the makings of one of the finest pitchers in baseball.

>A Counter Offer

“Any chance for the manager to have a bit of that fluid,” asked Wilson disinterestedly. The coaches continued to work on Walters. Finally Wilson put down his glass and said. “What's the use of talking to him, If he’s satisfied to be a bush leaguer, that’s his privilege, isn’t it?” “Is that so!” snapped Walters. “I will tell you what I'll do, Wilson. I'll pitch for you on this basis. Every game I win you must give me a bottle of wine as a bonus.” Walters was in 24 games that season, won nine and lost nine. He forgot al labout the wine bonus. When the season was over Wilson tried to get him a bonus of $900— $100 for each victory-2but was forced to compromise on $250. As coach of the Reds, Wilson has been with Walters all season, and now he looks back with happy memories to that eventful Hight in the Orlando roadhouse when the three cheerful schemers

The Yanks are not quite the mur-

derous hitters of other years, but they still are not exactly soft

touches at the plate either. Individually, the Reds can claim hitting superiority at only two positions and collectively they are swamped

by the wide’ distribution of power

lurking in the Yankee batting or= der. To" emphasize. the Yanks’ superi-

ority on the attack over the Reds;

it is only necessary to look at the season’s figures. The Yanks made only 66 hits more than the Reds, yet they scored 198 more runs. In

extra base power the Reds can]

match the ‘Yanks for doubles and triples, but when it comes to homers the National League champions look puny. 164 Home Runs

The Yanks have blasted out 164 homers to the Reds’ 98 and therein lies one of the vital reasons why the American League kings ‘are 3-1 betting favorites. Every man in the Yankee batting order is a potential home run threat while the Reds can [offer only McCormick, Berger and Lombardi as long-dis-tance hitters. DiMaggio, Gordon, Selkirk and Dickey are the power hitters in the Yankee array. DiMaggio has 30 homers, Gordon 28, Selkirk 21 and Dickey 23.| Leading home run hitter of the Reds is Lombardi with 20.

In other, extra base blows the Reds have a slight advantage, having hit/ 263 doubles to New York’s 259 and 59 triples’ to the Yanks’ 55. In driving in runs the

TES’ have the advantage, 893 tof 02

Position by position the only two Cincinnati | players who can be picked as more dangerous hitters are Frank McCormick at first over Babe Dahlgren and Billy Myers at short over | Frank Crosetti.

Red Star Has Power

McCormick is the big gun in the|

Reds’ attack. He leads the National League in runs batted in, with 127, one more than Yanks’ top man, DiMaggio. but McCormick has played in 35 more games than DiMaggio. ‘Myers is batting .41 ‘points. more: than Crosetti, .275 to
