Indianapolis hockey fans can expect some new faces on the
Capitols’ roster next season as produce a first division. team.
First will be the new player-coach, Ott Heller, who has spent his entire professional career with the New York Ranger organiza-
tion, Heller flew here yesterday ger Dick Miller and Detroit Coach Tommy Ivan to, be introduced at a press conference in the Indianapolis Athletic Club, Since Heller is new to the Detroit organization, Ivan made all the disclosures concerning next year's prospects. New Rookies He estimates that 75 per cent of last year's Cap team will return for next season and that a new crop of rookie defensemen, a goalie and a wing will be added. The new rookies probably will include Benny Woit and Frank Melong, defenseman, Goalie Terry SBawchuk and Right Wing Fred Glover. Woit was an amateur last year. The others will be promoted from the United States League. The prize package could be S8awchuk, a 19-year-old lad who had four sbutouts last season. It's rather certain that he will replace Red Almas, who has been placed on the National League

It is rumored that Hugh Millar may retire from hockey, but, according to Ivan, many hockey players change their minds in September. Heller, who played defense 15
Branca’s Black Book Bane of NL Batters
By CARL LUNDQUIST, United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, June 26—There aren't any interesting telephone numbers in Ralph Branca's “little black book,” but what he has in it about National League batters would be juicy gossip at any
pitchers’ tea party.
Branca, the fast-flinging right-handed ace of the Brooklyn pitching staff, has the weaknesses of every opposing batter cata-
logued. and, what is more important, he can throw them what they can’t hit. ~ etn He demonstrated that anew last night when he rifled his way to a 3-to-2 triumph over the Cardinals at Brooklyn, winning his seventh straight game and his ninth of the season against five defeats. Thought Washed Up What makes his mark remarkable was that just a few weeks ago he was considered “all washed up” because the brain that went with his arm had been traded to Boston. The brain belonged to Eddie Stanky, the pep-
_ Perhead second baseman who
was his roommate last season. And it was true that Stanky gave him valuable tips, told him how to pitch to certain batters, and kept his morale from lagging. When Stanky went to the Braves the wise guys said Bran¢a couldn't make it on his own and it looked for a time as if they were right as he dropped five out of his first seven games, getting batted out three straight times at the start of the season. But Branca, often called the Bob Feller of the National League cause of his fast ball, kept imProving, even when Dodger fortunes reached low ebb. Last

Spahn Coasts to Win ° The Braves again went a game-and-a-half ahead of the second Place Cardinals by rapping out a 12-hit, 12-to-3 victory over the Pifates at Boston. Warren Spahn Coasted to his sixth victory as Jim sell, Tommy Holmes and AlVin Dark hit homers and Spahn himself got two doubles.

Dick Miller, general manager of the Caps, who announced yesterday the appointment of Heller as player-coach of the Caps for the 1948-49 season, lends an aftentive ear to the discussion.

Returns Home : Heller, who was the oldest active player in the American League last year with New Haven, left town by plane yesterday afternoon for Kitchener, Ontario, where he is spending the off-season in the shipping department of a beverage distribution house. Miller announced that the hockey club will open its season here, Oct. 14, against Buffalo and that arrangements are being made for the team to participate in an open clinic the night before! to instruct local fans in the “blue line” regulations. Ivan is expecting at least 150 players to report to the Detroit's two training camps in September at Sault St. Marie, Mich, and
best pick of the two camps then will assemble in Detroit, Sept. 30, for final training. The Capitols’ management believés it has found the answer to

over the Chicago Cubs. Dick Sisaer's double and a single by Del Ennis put over the marginal run for the Phils. Hal Newhouser was tagged for homers by Joe DiMaggio and Johnny Lindell but was otherwise invincible as the Tigers topped the Yankees, 4 to 2, at Detroit. Pat Mullin led Detroit with a double and two singles. The Athletics regained second place when Joe Coleman turned in an eight-hit, 4 to 1 victory over the White Sox and gave himself the runs he needed with a tworun double in the second. It was Coleman’s eighth victory and. he missed a shutout only because Pat Seerey homered. : Washington retarded Cleveland, 3 to 2 when Pitcher Bob Lemon's wild throw on a double play ball enabled Pitcher Early Wynn of the Senators to drive in the tying and winning runs with his third single. It was Lemon’s sixth defeat against 10 victories.
Pitcher Bryan Stephens picked an opportune time to get his first hit of the season, a grand slam double which gave him a 9 to 6 triumph as the Browns topped the Red Sox at St. Louis. Vern Stephens batted in five of Boston runs with a homer and single and Les Moss got a threerun homer for St. Louis.

Round after round had been about the same, except that in some there was less action than in others. In one, the sixth, actually only one punch was thrown. A Walcott right had raised a grostesque knob on Louis’ shoulder.
8 . 9 MEANWHILE, the chorus of boos grew in intensity and seeming anger and time after time as the dreary spectacle of futility inched along, the referee demanded an increased show of vigor. We were to learn later that Walcott complained the referee had directed his remarks solely at him, but it seemed to me he included the champion as well, If not he certainly should have. Now the 10th round had passed and it seemed almost certain the fight would go to the limit and the boxing writers were checking over their score sheets to see how the farce stood at that stage. Although there were rounds so completely divorced from action, only a person with a lurid imagination could possibly figure which fighter was entitled to the advantage. I had both the cham-

Like all others who had tried it, Walcott wound up biting the dust, If Louis is sincere in retiring— and his real friends should see that he stays retired, because he is only a fraction of the fighter he used to be—the heavyweight division will find itself without a leader. That happened when Tunney stepped down. Jack Sharkey of Boston was, thanks to a political maneuver, accepted as the American heavyweight champion and then began a long run of mediocrities, . Fellows like Carnera, Baer, Schmeling and Braddock. It wasn't until Louis came along that the division had a champion it could be proud.of. And, I might add, the whole sports world as well,

» " ” NOW THERE is the bell for the 11th and Walcott, who has not fought nearly as well—surely not as spectacularly—even though it was only in spots, as he did in the first fight—began to crowd the champion. He was landing jabs and short rights and it looked as if he was hurting to us and beginning to take command of the fight. They were against the ropes on the third base side of the “Yankee Stadium diamond. The fans who had been blistering the ears of the two 34-year-old fighters just moments before began to yell and scream in that primitive, jungle, hysterical way that usually greets an explosive situation in the ring. { They must have been urging Walcott on because it was he who was scoring.
” w . THEN CAME that grand smashing finale. In a twinkling Louis had taken the play away from his dancing, prancing tormentor and was battering him with sharp, crushing, revengeful blows to the head. The change had come just as swiftly as it had in an earlier fight with Billy Conn and probably was traceable to the same mistake. Conn had moved in for the kill. ' So had Walcott. It turns out Louis does not kill easy. A torrent of blows had rained, down on Walcott’s ball-like head and pretty soon he was spinning along the canvas like a large black spool. The referee was) counting over him as he struggled to fight his way out of a mental| fog and a physical torture that was to stay with him until the final knell. At that moment he was on all fours scrambling frantically, conviusively, like a fantastic sand crab. t
