LOUIS, Feb. 17.—The ambi- tious St. Louis Browns: consider it a dull day when they don’t add a vice president, a director or a scout but, as for moundsmen, Manager Roger Hornsby himself says, “pitcherc of any kind are scarce.” The team has but four hopes of bolstering its weak 1936 stafi— Les Tietje, Howard Mills, Lou Kou- pal and Oral Hildebrand. In the new deal, two of last year’s hurl- ers, Leroy Mahaffey and Ivy Paul Andrews, are gone. Mahaffey and a bundle of cash went to Seattle for Koupal, 33- year-old veteran who had one of the best earned-run averages in the Pacific Coast League. He won 23 games and lost 11 in 1936, giv- ing Hornsby some reason for say- ing: “I think an experienced man like Koupal will help us.” Andrews and Hildebrand were exchanged in the Browns' 3-for-3 deal with Cleveland. Hildebrand, with an earned run average of 4.89 per nine innings, won 10 and lost 11 last year, while Andrews, yielding 4.85 earned runs per game, won 7 and lost 12. Their records make the trade pretty much of a stand-off.

G. Woodward of Billings, Mont., brought his fire to the fire department. Glancing from the window of his 25-ton truck, he saw a reflec- tion of bright red on the snow. The heavily loaded truck and trail- er was on fire. Fire extinguishers and snow he shoveled failed to control the flames. So Woodward drove the truck 20 miles to Livingston, parking at a fire plug on the outskirts of the city. A call brought a fire cart in a hurry and the blaze was extin- guished. |" Woodward estimated damage to the truck at $2,000. His load of merchandise, consisting mostly of chocolates, was almost destroyed. 1936—April 30 at 12:58 p.m. To Cure W histle NENANA | ICE POOL g A | ney w April 10, 1937—Midnight BEEEREE a8 as 288988888488 "o 84 M. |tling notes that irritate Manager Ple Traynor.

Claims that the Detroit heavyweight ‘'is a “big, Joe Gans” will have to be proved later. By his inability to catch the back- pedaling Pastor in their recent 10- round bout, Louis indicated that he still had much to learn about the fight game. A great fighter would have pinned Pastor against the ropes or have cornered him and blasted him apart. Louis looked the part of an “amateur” as he was dubbed by Schmeling, when he awkwardly tried' to connect with the fleeing Pastor. i When Bob failed to lead, Louis was lost. The only way Louis seems able to get in his deadly punching is to draw a lead from his opponent and then counter, His amazing swiftness in delivering blows en- ables him to beat the other fellow to the punch. Therein lies the secret of his success, Place him against a fighter ‘'who will not lead and Joe becomes' fumbling, un- certain. Misses Moving Targets Joe can punch with killing power. Plenty of evidence shows that. But he must be set to.deliver those blows. Against a ‘moving 'target, such as Pastor provided, Joe either misses entirely, or his punches are robbed of all steam. Against , and recent- ly against Pastor, Louis revealed himself as a “single track” fighter. His_ inability to alter his style made him a setup for Schmeling’s right- hand smashes. His handlers pleaded with him to raise his left shoulder so that his jaw would not present such an open target for Schmeling, but Joe couldn’t get out of his na- tural groove. He'd Better Improve A truly great boxer would be able to alter his style to meet a sur- prise attack. Obviously, Louis can- not adjust himself. Jack Blackburn had better teach him before he is tossed in against fellows like Jimmy Braddock. A smart boxer—not frightened by | | | the negro’s paralyzing punch —|* can make Louis look ordinary. Pas- tor did, and Bob never was rated a smart fighter. All he did was to follow instructions of his handlers and keep moving away from Louis. As long as he did that he was safe. It didn't make it exciting for the customers who paid $16.50 to see a fight—but that's another story. T “Alaska” by Lester D. Henderson.
