THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1932. — g 1SIDORE GOLPSTEIN — A TiGER WHO SEEMS LiceLy TO 'STics* HERE'S ANOCTHER SLUGGING PTcHER SIPE OF THE PLATE" - LAST YEAR HE WAS OFTEN YsED To ONCH AT FoRo BEAUMONT // PECRUM Pac— - HE BATS FROM EITHERL | | | In a bus bounding across Filor- ida, Walter Mcnahan, the old heavywoight boxer, one-time cham- pion of California,” and now the director of fisticuffs for the fash- icnable colony of Palm Beach, fell to talking about the big days and big fights. Walter has been around the fighting map somewhat. He trained Jack Jchnson and then Jess Wil-| rd, after fighting a lot of good | himself. For several years| has conducted boxing classes, | among the society folk of Florida's | East Coast, and Dong Island’s ex- treme south shore. He has a like- ly looking young welterweight puncher under his wing in Peter Cl ki, whose ring tag is Pet- er Mike. Jess Willard’s uppercut, we had agreed, was one of the most po-| tent weapons used in the ring— when it landed. “Why, I remember a fight out on the coasi when Big Jess fought n big fellow named Young,” re- called Monahan. “This Young just bounced punches off Willard for cight or nine rounds, meanwhile ducking all those ponderous upper- cuts that Jess started from the fioor. “I guess Willard must have missed 50 uppercuts but the 61st| caught Young in a careless mo- ment, lifted him at least a foot off the floor, all 240 pounds of| him, and dropped him cold. “Even after he was all cut up! and battered at Toledo the day he lost the championship, Willard almost tore Dempsey's with one of those uppercuts. was a terrific blow. “Talk about Carnera being al big fellow, why this Willard tApped: the scales at 290 pounds at one| time, although he somehow got! ¢ff about 50 pounds of this for his comeback in 1923. You will re- member he was topped by Firpo in a match at Boyle’s Thirty Acres. Willard told ‘me afterward he never took such body punches| in his life as Firpo gave him.; Then his legs gave out on him and | -goife was all through.” Mickey Faces Work ‘The Athletics do not seem' great- ly worried about it, but the word ‘has circulated through the major . It v | tenders, head off |- clubs around the circuit, taking itheir cue from the Cardinals, plan to harrass the American league champions by base-running and bunting tactics this year. If so, it will mean a busy son for Mickey Cochrane, throws ‘em to second base, Max Bishop, who tags 'em sea- who and Koenecke Gets Call ‘When the Giants parted with the veteran Fred Leach for cash to the Boston Braves the tipoff was out that John McGeaw is casting the pennant die with Len Koenecke, his $75,000 beauty, in left field. McGraw, when he personally scouted and bought Koenecke, pro- claimed his faith in the ability of the Indianapolis slugger to win a regular job and spring inspection apparently has not altered the old master’s belief. BEAVER-ANTELOPE ‘CLASH POSTPONED The scheduled meeting tonight between the Beavers and the An- telopes that was exepected to be the crucial match of the Eiks' bowling tournament has been post- poned until April 22. Instead the {Beavers .will play the Tigers to- night at 7:15 o'clock, this con- test having been advanced from the 22nd. to the Antelopes’ 20 victories, each team having lost four games. Six games are left on the Beaver schedule, and their rivals have nine yet to play, o every game means a lot to the pennant con- the edge. Muskrats and Ba¥igers will tan- gle in the second match tonight.

Spears, who leaves Oregon this year to coach at the| University of Wisconsin, would like | to see something new added o the offensive department of the gridircn game. He suggesus abolition of the rule |requiring that a forward pass be made mnot leéss than five yards back of the line of scrimmage. This, he said, wouki make the game more open and spectacular and enable coaches to devise a greater offensive threat which that would relieve some of the center- line congestion, the cause of nu- merous injuries because of body contact. ———————— Daily Empire Want Ads Pay —By Pap HOT GAME IS Cleveland Beats Detroit in NEW SCHEME &z FEATURED IN COLD WEATHER Extra Inning; Attend- ance Is Small DETROIT, Mich, April 14 — leveland and Detroit played a torrid eleven inning game here rday afternoon in frigid wea- Cleveland winning 6 to 5, before 12,000 fans, the smallest American League opening day crowd here in 15 years. i Two singles and a wvacrifice fly he eleventh inning produced winning run. i th GAMES YESTERDAY Pacific Coast League Argeles 3; Hollywood 8. amento 18. mor By GEORGE McMANUS ALL RIGHT- MAGGIE- 'M AWAKE - | Associated Press Photo Two action pictures of opening games in the Pacific Coast League which show (top) Dressen, Seattl® third baseman, hitting the first ball out to Seal Stadium’s centertield.
