Wrigley, owner of the Cubs, got him from the Yanks five months ago. Hired as Coach Tony came to the Cubs as ¢ strategist and utility second-base- |man. His experience was supposed to make up for whatever might be burned out of him because he is 35 years old, but if anyone had the idea the Italian veteran was burned out he was mistaken. Shortly after the 1938 season op- ened, Lazzeri had a 375 batting average, had made a dozen hits, in- cluding four homers, and had given the Cubs reliable support at third and shortstop. He is in the pink of | condition and stands ready for any- thing. What difference does it make if he is playing in the American or National league? He insists it is all the same to him, and that goes for the baseballs and for the guys who throw ‘em. “Is there a difference 'between American and National league base- balls?” He repeated the question. “I didn’t know it. You hit 'em all alike.” The reporter touched on the ru- mor the American League “rabbit ball” favors the pitcher and the National League ball, the batter. Just a slight difference in hide thickness and stitching, you see. More Later Tony switched to the left cheek and blinked. “It's all news to me,” he insisted solemnly. “There may be a differ- ence but if there is I haven't found it out — it’s all baseball, wherever it is.” | That looked like the final score, but as a parting shot Tony made one suggestion. ‘TNl tell youX he said, “you might ask me again in another month after we've played a few more teams. I can tell better then | if there is any difference in any- thing,” SALT DEPOSIT FOUND IN UTAH SALT LAKE CITY, May 19—A vast salt deposit near Thompsons in Eastern Utah has been Tiscov-' ered by geologists drilling for oil,| the United States geological survey | reports.

S. R. Grant, retired sugar cane planter from South Africa, believes Alask: scenery is the most “mar- velous” in the world. Grant left his home in Durban, South Africa, in January, summer down there, with his 17-year-old son Robert, who is being given an “op- portunity to see the world and help him make up his mind as to what course he will pursue in life.” The retired Mr. Grant is quite candid about the fact that he is re- tired and has nothing to but but travel. Born on the Dark Continent, Grant saw the future in sugar cane. In 1924 he left his vast fields to see other plantations about the world and to seek ideas for im- provement of his own cane. He went to Java and to the Hawaiian Islands and saw cane there. He returned via Europe and saw far- reaching fields of beet sugar. Result; Planter Grant returned to South Africa and his Zula Land cane with apprehensions of a soon- to-come glutted sugar market. In- stead of improving his cane, he sold | it out—at the top of the market, for next year, “the bottom dropped out of sugar.” Both Grant and his son gre proud of South Africa, but they:hinted they might come back to Alaska scme day “to hunt and fish.” Grant and his son are round- trippers on the Aleutian. e 5.

YER DERN TOOTIN' I DID ---TH' LAZY BONES! 1 SCARED HER STIFF---- MAX CAN'T BE FIRST TO GET HEAVY HONORS By GARDNER SOULE Sports Editor, AP Feature Service Contrary to popular belief, Max Schmeling will not be the first heavyweight champion to regain his title in case he defeats Joe Louis next June 22. To be specific, he will be the fifth to accomplish the feat. For this information we are in- debted to T. W. McNeil, one of our Colorado correspondents. McNeil has checked the records. He has discovered four champs who re- gained titles, namely, William Darts, Jem Ward, William Thompson Ben- digo, and Ben Caunt. Darts was the first. On May 2, 1766, he defeated Tom Juchau for the title in 40 rounds. On June 27, 1769, he lost to “Waterman” Lyons in 45. Then, rather than meet Darts in a return affair, Lyons forfeited the title back to his erstwhile an- tagonist. Bill Darts’ titular claims were disputed by one Peter Corcoran, a 6-foot-7-inch’ Irishman. The boys settled it in Derby week, 1771, at Ep-om, Eng. Corcoran immediate- ly was hailed as another Joe Louis, for he stopped Darts with a single punch. Jem Ward, second two - time titleholder, won the title and a $2,500 bet from Tom Cannon in a 10-rounder July 19, 1825. Then | | Broadway i tired” a Ward lost his recognition to Peter Crawley. who retired (to open a bar). And Ward de- feated the Irish champion, Simon Byrne, for the title on July 12, 1831. Bendigo was the next man to win, lose and -regain the heavy- weight championship. Bendigo's' real name was William Thompson, He regained the title not once, but twice. | Bendigo became champion Feb- ruary 12, 1839, when he beat James Bureke. English deaf mute, in 10 rounds—on a foul. In 1840, Ben- digo fought Ben Caunt, hurt his knee, and forfeited the crown. In 1245, a well man again, Bendigo challenged Caunt and knocked him out near Stoney, Stratford, Eng. in a breezy affair of 93 rounds. In 1850, after having been “re- while, Bendigo knocked out one Thomas Paddock after 49 rounds of fisticuffs. Ben Caunt, whose rise o the ‘itle in 1840 has been noted, was ‘he fourth to regain a lost position at the top of the heap. He lost to Nick Ward in the seventh round of a bout on February 2, 1841. He won from Ward in 35 rounds the next May 11 There are others who might arise from the dusty past to claim having regained championships. The catch, of course, is that from the retirement of James Figg, in 1730, until Paddy Ryan established undisputed claim to the bare knuckle championship in 1880, there was confusion as to who was king of the heavyweights. Figg, a great Englishman, is called the father of modern pugilism, but there are other claimants to that BY THREATENIN'T' GIVE HER NOTE$ ON HOW T' COOK AN' DO HOUSE ‘WORK ! 1 !honor. also. Figg encouraged bo; | to settle arguments with their fists, instead of with weapons of steel, | which was quite a step forward for | those days. The chief rule in Figg's | book was that the men must con- }unue battling until there was a | winner. No rest periods were allowec. | Figg was followed by a motley | array. Men won titles, discarded | them, retired and returned—onl, to befuddle things for a century |and a half. Paddy Ryan emerged in 1880 to become the first Ameri- can to hold the undisputed worli bare-knuckle championship. John L. Sullivan kayoed Ryan Sullivan carried the bare-knucklic title to his_grave. However, on Sep- tember 7, 1892, he lost the first bat- tle for the heavyweight champion- ship under Marquis of Queensbur} rules (they call for gloves) to James J. Corbett. Corbett knocked out Sul- livan in 21 rounds, received a cut of $45,000 to Sullivan’s nothing, and the modern era of boxing, from which the mocern list of champion is dated, was underway. e METHODIST AID MEETS | Members of the Methodist Ladies’ |.=! met yesterday afternoon be- |tween 1:30 and 4 o'clock, in the banquet room of the Methodist | Church.
