Says Joe

Williams|

POMPTON LAKES, N. J., Sept. 20.—As we sat under the trees out here in the rolling Jersey hills talking with Lou Nova and try“ing to study the heavyweight challenger today we reached this conclusion: He's :going to beat Joe Louis or get himself murdered trying. Here is a strong, superbly conF'Aditioned, strong minded, ambitious’ young man who thoroughly be-' lieves in himself. Nova is never going to earn any important money unless he earns it with his fists. He is not essentially gifted in any other specialty. He knows this and that’s why he eyes the championship with a resolution that borders on the fanatical. To reach this goal he must pass Louis, Thus Louis stands as a barrier to Nova’s one chance for conspicuous success in

life. “I must beat him and I will,” Nova tells you, and as he speaks you think you can read an authentic confidence in his blue eyes. “What makes you think you'll beat him?” you ask. Nova laughs pleasantly. “You know I'm supposed to be eccentric so you won't be surprised when I say I have worked it out mathematically.”

‘A 10 Per Cent Edge

" The young man with the hair ‘brush pompadour and neanderthal forehead then proceeds to tell you that while Louis hits harder, he (Nova) takes a punch better. e «eo “I'll say Louis hits 10 per: cént. better than I do and I take a punch 20 per cent better than he does. That gives me 10 per <ent on the winning side.” Nova had smiled at his reputfation as an eccentric . . . “That comes from all the publicity about the cosmic punch and the dynamic

Bh stance. I think it’s possible to get

the maximum out of human force and basically that’s the source from which these things spring. I know definitely I have improved my foot work and added leverage to my punching. I did this by applying the principle of human dynamics to the needs of boxing. In short, I have attained perfect ‘balance—though to hear some of the writers talk it would seem I'm completely unbalanced.” ‘Nova reveals a professional respect for Louis which may or may not be significant. “Louis never had to work for balance or rhythm. He had everything from the start. He couldn’t miss being a great fighter and he was certainly all of that.” .

Thinks Joe Worries

“What pattern do you think the fight will take?” you ask, being pleasantly relieved to get away from such awesome mysteries as the cosmic punch and the dynamic stance. “How can I say for sure?” he shrugs. “Personally I've got them worried. There was a piece ‘in a newspaper yesterday quoting Louis’ trainer to the effect ‘I wolldn’t last three rounds. That isn’t - typical of the Louis camp. In the past the attitude has been just the opposite, Louis expected a hard, tough fight, etc. Boasting I won't last three rounds is. I think, their way of trying to get me mad, edgy and maybe frightened. But”—here he shrigs again —'it could be the other way round, It isn’t impossible that I ‘might win in three, or even one round.” We go over Louis’ fights of the past several months and ask if the challenger doesn’t think the * champion has slipped. “No, I must look upon him as being better than ever. At least as great as ever. For me to look upon him in any other way would be dangerous psychology, a mood that could betray me into carelessness and a silly sort of confidence. I'll go into the ring feeling I must beat the same Louis that Schmeling beat—and the same one he failed to beat.” We ask how many times he has seen the Brown Bomber in action ‘and the answer is four or five, iincluding the more recent fights with Buddy Baer and Billy Conn . . “and you still don’t think ‘he has slipped?” we press. It’s the Same, Joe

“No,” he replies firmly. “But in his more recent fights I saw the same things I saw in the ones before, little things that he does and doesn’t do which add to my confidence -and make me feel sure if I fight my fight I can win. And you can be sure I'll fight my fight.” We sit there wondering how we can word what we want to

next without offending the sous | Eme

man because he is a nice, amiable, intelligent fellow. You saw Max Baer hit him with round house rights and you saw Tony Galento -hit him with everything but the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia one night. That was when you found ‘yourself wondering out loud and shuddering: “What would hap‘pen if this poor guy ever got in there with Louis?” We are just about to give it to him as diplo.matically as we can when he re“marks: - “Louis has never met an ath‘Jete before. Even Schmeling, who “knocked him out, wasn’t an athJete. I'm a fine athlete and I hope you won't think I'm boast- . ing. I played baseball, football, basketball. I was a track man In football I played fullback. Even - then I was a 200-pounder. But 1 broke away quite often for 40 "and 50-yard runs for touchdowns. Just for the heck of it I'd like

Johnny Mize . . . out indefinitely. :

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 20 (U.P.). —That shoulder injury to Johnny Mize, St. Louis first baseman, may ‘turn out to have been the turning point in the National League race in event the Cardinals lose. The

the rival pitchers and busts in the runs. Mize hurt his shoulder trying to make a play at first and will be out for an indefinite time.

It also is about the last straw for the Cardinals in the matter on injuries. At various times during the season Brown, Hopp, Walker Cooper, Mort Cooper, Crespi, Slaughter and Moore have ‘been forced out of the line-up. At least one smart baseball man says the Cards would have won the pennant a week ago if they had been able to put their first string lineup onthe field Shrotehou; the season, pA

Even MacPhail Present | For Investigation

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20

for the. National League pen-

jant.

‘Latest developments which made life anything but a path of roses for the “beloved Bums,” were: 1, Unfinished - business in the “Pittsburgh incident,” which resulted from a feud with Umpire Geor rkurth. 2. 8¢ Mager Leo Durocher’s back-alley Battle with a sports writer. 3. Shaving of their lead to onehalf game by the Cards, and 4. A double-header today with the last place, but troublesome,

Phillies.

President Larry MacPhdil, Durocher, several members of the team, League President Ford Frick and Bill Klem, supervisor of the league’s umpires, held a long conference last night concerning the Pittsburgh trouble but no official decision was announced. Durocher was fined $150 by Frick after his altercation with Magerkurth at Pittsburgh, The incident developed when Magerkurth called a balk on Pitcher Hugh Casey to give Pittsburgh the tying run in the eighth inning of a game at Forbes

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (U. P.).— President Ford Frick of the National League today fined five Brooklyn Dodger players $25 each for “violent and profane” language used in their altercation with Umpire George Magerkurth- under the stands of Forbes Field after the Dodger-Pirate game in Pitts-. burgh Thursday. Whit Wyatt, Joe Medwick, Dolph Camilli, Herman Franks and Pete Coscarart were ordered by telegrams this morning from Frick’s office to pay $25 fines within five days: x

Field. Casey then tossed three wild pitches and Magerkurth reprimanded him. Durocher protested and was evicted from the game. Pittsburgh won the game and, according to reports, Magerkurth was “roughed” by several Brooklyn players while leaving the field. MacPhail, Frick and Klem came here to investigate the matter thoroughly. . “I intend to investigate reports given me by Durocher and my ball players that Magerkurth used profane language and that he had been abusive in the early innings of the game,” MacPhail said. ““If 1 find these reports to be true,

1I*most certainly am going to make a protest.”

It was: after last night's private conference - that Durocher tangled with. Ted Meier,” Associated Press sports writer. Meier, it was said, FeDealedly: questioned’ him concerng against: the Phils and sought to quote: that the Dodgers would win all seven games. ] “Don’t print that because I didn’t say it and won’t,” Durocher finally exclaimed heatedly. “You're not. talking to Magerkurth,” Meier Feartely told him after an exchange of hot words. A short session ensued in an alley

between the 173-pound Durocher and Meier, who weighs 230, and after||

they were separated, Meier complimented the battling Dodger manager on his “good left.” Both men finally shook hands and the Dodgers called it a day—albeit a busy one.

[Fines—Oh Me,

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 20 (U. P.).] —Lean Lon Warneke was expected to start on the mound today for St. Louis when the Cardinals meet the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a four-game set vitally important to their National League pennant chances. ‘With the loss of Johnny Mize through a shoulder injury partially offset by Terry Moore's return to batting form, the Cards defeated the Cubs, 3 to 1, behind Harry Gumbert yesterday and climbed to within two percentage poi of the Brooklyn Dodgers. ¢

Against Cubs

Moore, who had hit little in his few appearances since he was beaned last month, went to centerfield when Johnny Hopp took over first base in place of Mize. Moore’s two doubles were the main factors in all three Cardinal runs. Claude Passeau starts for Chicago today.

Pace Card Harriers

Tom Haynes and Delbert Kleis of Southport finished one-two to pace the Cardinal cross-country team to a 21- 30 victory over Tech yesterday.

NEW: YORK, Sept. 20 (U.

{P.).—Brooklyn citizens left _ {for Philadelphia today by air, auto, train and thumb to pro-

vide a background of bedlam for what they “foivently” hoped would be the last mad dash of their embattled Bums,

{the Dodgers, to the National t League pennant.

Barbershop and billiard hall estimates indicated that at least 10,000 Greater New York residents would view the current five-game series in Philadelphia. Such a gallery would constitute practically a home setting for the Bums. While the Dodgers and all other major league teams were idle yesterday, the Cardinals crept within a half-game of the Dodgers. They defeated the Cubs in the opener of a four-game series, 3 to 1, with Harry Gumbert setting the Bruins down on seven hits. : It was Gumbert’s fifth straight victory and 11th of the season against . six defeats. Centerfielder Terry Moore's two long doubles aided Gumbert. Moore had played only a few games since being felled by a beaner last month and it was feared he had become plate-shy. The American League champions, the Yankees, were cheered by the apparently fast recovery of Charley Keller, slugging outfielder, from a chipped ankle, Keller discarded his cast and

then told Manager Joe McCarthy he felt he would be ready for the World

Series.
