But they are not so clever afield. Defen- sively they rank last in the circuit. Nor are they particularly fast afoot. What runs they get they generally have to pound around the bases. But how they can pound! Great Batting Array. Excepting the batterymen, the Tigers are putting on the fleld a regular line- up in which all players but Harry Rice and Heinie Schuble are .300 hitters. Rice, who holds forth in center field, ‘was smiting the ball at only a measly .200 clip at last report. Schuble, new shortstop, was in the low .200’s. Look to the infleld for good hitters. There's Dale Alexander, at first base, with an average in the .340's; Charley Geh- ringer, at second base, with a mark in the .330's, and Marty McManus, a trifie aged but still agile, at third base, sock- ing nearly .320. ' Roy Johnson, a new- comer, playing left fleld, is a hitter of the .340 class, and the lumbering Harry Heilmann is clouting around .330.

OS ANGELES, June 4.—Jack Dempsey, former world heavyweight boxing cham- pion} was called upcn today to make up his mind whether tc return to the boxing ring. Gene Normile, manager of the ex- champion at the time of the first Tun- ney fight, stood sponsor for a meeting this afternoon between Dempsey and two officials of the Agua Caliente Cor- poration, which has amusement con- cesslon privileges a that little town just south of the Mexican border.

EW YORK, June 4—In spite of anything that reserve boards may do, pugilistic stock is going plenty of activity in caulifiower common. News has commenced to drift in from the camps where the Basque and the German are training for the next battle of the century, June 27. It is reliably re] templating the purchase of one of avenue, and may even send for Grover Whalen, the New York police commissioner, to work out scme scheme for one-way roads and rules which will prevent cruising taxis and forbid parking cars nearer than the outskirts of Troy, as is done in rted that Hoosick Falls is con- the traffic towers used in Fifth Manhattan during theater hours. Hoosick Falls is said to have been absolutely tied up on Sunday with motcrists endeavoring to get an eye-full of Paulino’s camp and the birthplace of W. F. Carey. The chief of police, Mooney, had a cramp in his arm from holding up his hand to check the stream of cars long enough so that citizens and cows could cross the road. Paulipo is staying on the estate of Hans Ehmler, in Hoosick Falls, but is a welcome visitor at other places. A profitable formula for his entertain- ment has been worked out. When he calls, his host takes him out in_the wood lot, hands him an ax. and begs him to make himself perfectly at home. | As a result, the host is sure of a sup- ply of kindling for the Winter and the climate of Hoosick Falls takes Winter seriously. When not cutting wood, Senor Uzcudun is permitted to milk the cows, thus adding to the local milk fund. Some of the cows stand for this patiently, while others have no sense of humor. Max Boxes and Golfs. | Meanwhile, Max Schmeling has been | knotking over sparring partners and plowing up the golf links at Lakewood. It is more fun to see Max hit a spar- ring mate than a golf ball, but not half so humorous. Herr Schmeling left camp long enough to attend a banquet at Buffalo. It might be thought that this was none too good for the waistline, but as a general rule little weight is taken on at banquets. What a guest | of honor gains through eating, he loses | during the speeches. But the training camps are not the only places affected by the coming bout. Madison Square Garden is beginning to do a brisk business at the ticket win- dows. Contrary to the general rule, the more moderate priced tickets have been the first demanded in quantity. Here is a bout which rouses interest in | practically all nationalities. | .. The German and Dutch quarters in this city are buying tickets because of Max Schmeling. Paulino’s following is even more numerous. It comes from those associated with every country . where Spanish is spoken. Uzcudun is not-alone the pride of the Basque coun- | try and Spain. The Argentine, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Cuba, Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Vene- | zuela, Colombia, Eeuador,. Brazil, Bo- | livia, Paraguay and Uruguay are pull- ing for him. Many a man who never | saw a heavyweight bout before is buy- ; ing tickets for this encounter. \ i Regulars Get in Line. With the fight still weeks away, the i regulars also have begun to send in | their orders. I saw Eddie Eagan, former Yale and Olympic boxing champion, yesterday place an order for several dozen tickets for friends. The famous 600 millionaires are commencing to provide for their parties. If Schmeling wins this bout follow- ers of boxing will take the view that a new and bright star has appeared in discovering congestion in the chest, told him to remain at home for three or four days at least. Sammy Byrd will patrol right field | for the Yanks while Ruth is recuper- ating. 8. Ruth missed his first game in more fans here are likely to be most inter- ested in Alexander, Johnson and Schu- ble, rookies, who gained regular berths slouch of a ball club. Any club that hits as the Tigers can hit is difficult to overcome. That these things contributed to the | downfall of Dempsey and the loss of his title was admitted by many when the ghost of the orice famous Manassa mauler mauled and pitched all over the | rain-soaked canvas in Philadelphia. | Arthur Bulow, Schmeling'’s original | Klein.

Manager Walter Johnson's charges had no trouble getting on the sunway, but they certainly found it difficult to get around. They tapped Sam Gray, right-hand mce of the St. Louis staff, for 10 hits, and Gray kicked in with five free tickets to first base. But the Nationals ed a telling punch when scoring thances came their way. It was an uphill game for the John- son bunch. Garland Braxton was off to a poor start, and it was made worse by Buddy Myer's manhandling of a throw from Muddy Ruel in the first inning. But for this error the Browns probably would not have made as many as four runs with four hits in the open- ing session. But they did, and pro- ceeded to get another in the second inning with a hit and a pass off Gar- land, and these runs proved enough for victory. After Braxton left, Lloyd Brown pitched six good rounds, ylelding but two safeties and three passes. He gave ‘way to a pinch batter in the eighth, so Paul Hopkins hurled the ninth, and was nicked for a brace of hits and a tally. ‘The Nationals got back a run in the first inning, thanks to two passes given by Gray and a wild chuck by Shortstop Kress. Rice's single, Goslin's two-bag- ger and Cronin’s sacrifice fly accounted for a marker in the third, and in the sixth singles by Judge, Hayes and Brown produced a score. Starting the ninth, Rice singled and went to third when Goslin hit for a base. West's boist to Manush let Rice count and the Goose go to second, but Cronin_lofted out and Judge swung for a third strike. Gray was simply too good for the Nationals in the pinches. Rice and Hayes liked Gray's hurling. Each helped himself to three hits. Goslin had a .667 day at bat with a double and a single. He walked twice. Cronin’s consecutive game hitting streak ended at 15 games. He visit the plate five times and the only help he gave his club was in the form of a sacrifice hoist, A fine running catch by Rice was needed to retire Melillo in the eighth Sam sprinted far to his rtlh: o far inning. and back before he got in the path the liner.

Although he had played regu larly since the start of the present sea- | son, his batting has not been up to the | usual Ruthian standard and slipped off alarmingly before he went out of ac- tion. Part of the batting slump, at least, is attributed to his poor physical condition. On May 13, the day before the ‘Yankees ended their Western tour, Ruth reached his high-water mark of the year with a batting average of .368. His hitting fell off during the next two weeks to the low level of .288 and re- mained just above the .300 mark up to the time the cold forced him from the game. In his specialty of home runs he failed to keep up with his local rival, Lou Gehrig, getting but 10 so far. ‘The cold epidemic also has reached Bob Meusel, regular left flelder, who is confined to his home with a light at- tack of pleurisy. Reports today that Ruth had been taken to the hospital led to stories that his iliness was some- what more serious. = W B 3 t Washington. St. L. at Wi 1) N Chitcawo. at No G Chiicaeo at N Tork.

Schmeling will be put to a severe test when he faces Paulino later in the month and he must be in good shape if he expects to weather the storm of blows Paulino can be depended upon to send his way. Word continues to reach this city that all is not going well in the man- agement of Schmeling’s training quar- ters. That there is a rift in the opin- ions of Joe Jacobs and Prof. Bill Mc- Carney cannot be denied. Each man has his own opinion as to the value of good sparring. partners and it is said that harsh words have passed between the partners. This has been denied by Jacobs and a hush has been placed on all conferences between the pair. Jacobs a well meaning and at times temperamental fellow, knows the value of McCarney's opinions and has agreed to let the professor map out the plans for the training sessions. This has re- sulted in a better grade of punch ab- sorbers and Schmeling can be depended upon to do his share by working hard and faithfully up to the eve of the im- portant contest. the pugilistic sky. Interest will be in- tense. If Paulino wins he may not get ‘ill the credit due him. Some will in- sist that Schmeling was an overrated fighter and that little Paul merely proves it. But if either wins decisively he will be a good drawing card for an Autumn bout with Jack Sharkey. The Garden must exercise its option on Sharkey's services some time in July. In case Paulino was Jack's opponent, this match probably would be held here in September. If Schmeling proves to be the man, there will be further com- plications. The New York Commission has recognized Bulow's manager, and Bulow as Schmeling’s manager, and Bulow has signed a couple of contracts, neither of which is with the Garden. For this reason, Sharkey and Schmeling might be matched somewhere outside New York; perhaps in Miami; perhaps elsewhere. Whatever Dempsey may do, he cer- tainly is not in the picture for any Autumn bout. It would take Dempsey the better part of a year to get ready to fight ain. And the only thing which would make him reconsider his retirement would be very important money. (Copyright. 1929. by the No rth American Newspaper Alliance.)
