I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU LOOK SO WORRIED / WHAT'S HAPPENED 2 GIT PREPARED FER A PURTY PAINFUL SHOCK,, RIGHT SMACK ONTO OUR PRIZE PETUNIA BED YER PAW WUZ DOIN' SOME MENDIN' AN' ROLLED OFF TH' ROOF :--- OH,DEAR:-- GIVES DOPE ON MAN T0 BEAT LOUIS Fighter Mll;r Have "Fol-| low - Through” to Down Champion By DILLON GRAHAM | AP Feature Service Sports Writer NEW YORK, July 11.—Tony Gal-| ento proved that the chap whol beats Joe Louis must have a shock- | proof jaw, a game heart, “umph’ in his fists and a follow-through. Tough Tony had all but the| follow-through and he came close to dethroning the dusky destroyer. But Louis should continue as top man until a guy comes along with all of those prerequisites. Galento and Jim Braddock and Jorge Bres- cia and Natie Mann have shown that one or two or three of these qualities are not enough. | All these scrappers have dem-| onstrated that Joe can be hit. And‘ that Joe doesn't take a punch any too well. He backs away uncer- tainly and the superman becomes with either of them. He may find it hard to catch Pastor. And Nova is a very courageous gent who says he’s willing to trade wallops with Joe. Maybe he can win. But it's our guess that Lou doesn’t carry heavy enough artillery and that he’s too easy to hit. Our best long-shet tip for the next champion is a preliminary boy from Paterson, N. J—Pat Comis- key. Pat has a murderous punch. He hits harder than Louis does. Not as fast yet, or as often, but, gauged by single punches, his blows carry more steam than Joe s. \ He needs another year of ex-| perience. He must develop his left.| He must learn to handle himself | better. But keep your eye on Pat.| Joe will really be a rattled colored boy if Pat should hit him, say, in| the middle of 1941.

He said ‘Kill the Umbire’ plain as da By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Sports Writer | NEW YORK, July 10 Saddle my horse, Fotheringill, .hat I mey spread the alarm. Our basebal: fans must be informed of this menace to their constitutional rights. The old American custom of lazying away an afternoon at the ball park, munching peanuts, gurgling pop and calling the um- pire a bum is being threatened. The modern-day mania for speed has caught up with baseball in its hundredth year. Streamlined base- ball wants to do a repaint job on the doddering old codger, Streamlined baseball is the brain child of Frank S. Wright, the Uni- versity of Florida's director of He has a 10-point pro- gram directed toward speeding up the game by eliminating all lost motion. No longer will we be able to waste three hours at the ball game. This new streamlined version can be run off in 90 minutes or less. It'll be dangerous to tilt the pop bottle for a swallow: Some bloke may knock a home before you have time to focus your peepers on the diamond again. We'll have to use the touch sys- tem for shelling peanuts: Some guy will swipe second while we're looking down to place our thumbg in an interlocking grip on the shell. We must be alert and on our toes all the time or the game will pass right by us and we’ll have to ask a fellow at the exit gate who won. Here are the ten rules that will revolutionize baseball if Wright has his way: 1. Managers must stay in the dugout. No longer will we thrill to the brisk, angry dash of a Jimmy Dykes or a Casey Stengel from the bench to hand the arbiter a verbal lashing because of a bonehead, eyes-shut decision. Think of that: We'll have to learn to yell “you bum, you” with- out any cue from the pilots. 2. The ball must be returned di- rectly to the picther. and the “that’s the old pepper, gang” throwing of the ball around the infield after a put out will go the way of the dodo bird. 3. & 4. There are penalties for stalling. No longer can a pitcher count the house, watch a skywriter scribble his song or put his thumb marks all over the ball. No longer can a batter take his own sweet | {ime arranging his stance at the plate or knocking imaginary dirt| from his spikes. The ump will call “one ball” on | the tosser who stalls. Hell yell| “one strike” on the hitter who hes- | 5. & 6. A team must keep a| first waddling romp to back-up base on infield hits wil That'll add a few years to the lifel of such sprinters as Ernie Lom-| bardi and Babe Phelps. | 7. Quick pitches will be legal. 8. & 9. Infielders will be al-| owed one handling of the ball at| the start of an inning and pitch- ers two warm-up tosses. 10. Pinch runners will flit in and | cut of a game. They’ll be stationed | in the first base coaching box and | will be allowed to run for the pitchers and catchers who reach tirst base. This will give the of-| fensive team an added scoring | threat and will take some of the burden off the battery mates. I've warned you. If you don't like it sit right down and write Wright.
