CHICAGO, June 5 (C.P.A).—Amehi- can League teams are growing younger while those of the National are be- coming older, according to the vital statistics on the players of the two majors.

FULLERTON, Jr. Associated Press Sports Writer. AN HOWLEY, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, has become one of the leading expeflmen'— ers of the National League as well as one of its leading traders, and he has prospects of good results if he can mold the material he now has into a co-ordinated base ball team. The Reds, as they are now, seem have everything but the ability to mlke their hits count. They got plenty of blows, 84 of them, in their last 7 games, and frequently have good pitching to go with them, but still '.hey lose the close decisions and games in which they have the edge in hitting. Howley shook up his line-up again yesterday, putting Pat Crawford in the line-up and making Bob Meusel lead off. The result was good enough to produce 14 solid hits, but not a victory. Thelr opponents, the New York Gl.lnu got but 12 blows, but 6 of them in succession from the first six b‘t‘- men in the opening inning and started the Giants off to a 6-1 lead and an 8-to-5 victory, Pete Donohue continued the act that the former Reds who now wear Giant uniforms have been stag- s0 long that he wu at the plate ‘when he finally d to run for it.

This was the second successive time Seibold had been driven from the mound after starting the year by pitch- ing nine full games.

HE Hamburg Hammerer is knocking at'the door of the world heavyweight cham- plonship and only Jack Sharkey bars the way. ‘What will be the outcome of Max Schmeling’s fight with the talkative sallor at the Yankee Stadium the night of June 12? The wave of popular opinion seems to be sweep- ing along in Sharkey's favor, dis- posing of the German’s chances with the query “who did he ever beat?” and going on and on about the Boston Gob's class, incentives to wln superiority and so forth. rllht. Hasn't Max Schmeling, some good reasons to want to wm this fight? No wife and chil- dren, to be sure, but a mother and a fatherland that has never yet had a world heavyweight champion. And money! Ah, yes! Maxie would ike those American dollars. Sharkey .hl.s plenty of money, but not Maxie. Max Schmeling Kas it on Sharkey in three things, as I see it, and they are very important ones. They are munch and the ability to adapt If to his opponent’s style of fighting. ‘Max has youth on his side, —By Feg Murray and many believe that Sharkey is two or three years past his prime. The German is 24, while Sharkey is 27. Those three years may not make much difference, or they may make plenty. ‘That Max can punch harder than the Gob was proven decisively in their bouts with tough Rubbery Jawn Risko. Shnkey lost to the Clevelander in a close fight, never once flooring his opponent, while Schmeling knocked Risko down four times and scored a technical knock- out. Against Paulino, whom Sharkey never considered it convenient to fight, the German scored a decisive victory, leaving no doubt in the minds of those who witnessed the bout that the Basque could not have continued for another two rounds. And the way Max has been K. Oing his sparring partners at Endicott speaks well for the power and ac curacy of Big Bertha. But Maxle has good left, too. He upset the speedy Joe Sekyra with it, and the human punching bags who have been aiding him to get into condition will attest its deadli- ness. Schmeling is a smart fighter, who doesn’t forget what he has been taught, once the btule gets under- way, and he's sure to spring some- thing new the night of June 12. Pick-Ups From the Sandlots By Francis E. Stan REDDY CAUDLE of the Navy Yard team is one of those “un- sung heroes” of the sandlots. ‘There are several of these play- ers who are invaluable to their clubs, yet whose names are never on the tongues of sandlot followers. Caudle is one of those quiet players who just goes along, getting hits when hits are needed, scoring runs when runs are needed, and what an outfielder that boy is! In short, he is the kind of ballplayer that every sandlot man- ager prays for. It is Fred's flelding that stands out. ‘When a fly ball goes in the vicinity of center fleld, unfortunate indeed is the batter who hit it.

Y., June 5.— Max Sigfrid Adolph Otto Schmeling is an engaging young man without a com- plex, inhibition or sign of unruly temperament to his lengthy name. As he sits in the living room of his well guarded cottage, playing over and over German phono- graph records, he doesn't even talk a good fight. Yet just one week from tonight in the Yankee Stadium, this 24-year-old Teuton, who has ‘scaled the heavyweight heights in two short years, will battle Jack Sharkey for the highest pnu fistiana has to offer. He will fight the*best he knows how, cannily, carefully, evenly, but at a ter- rific pace, and if his best is not enough —well, he is still 24 years old and life even in a fistic sense still leads long be- fore him. Max may lose to a better man. He frankly -d.mlu that may hap- pen, but he doesn’t think that man is Sharkey. Colored an Indian brown by the sun in his outdoor workouts, the young Ger- man is a picture of superb condition as he lolls in his easy chair, happy to talk of fights in his halting English literally sprinkled with German p! when the subject gets compuclud and Lhouthu come too fast. His high cheek bones, sha; black eyebrows, deep color and animation leave an indelible im- pression of Jack Dempsey when the old man-mauler weighed 187 pounds and was eager to tear the world apart with his iron fists. How Max Sees. “I hope T beat Sharkey,” he sald with a smile and a wave of both hands. --x do not know. No one contest for ringdom’s highest ltlkes !hh state- ment covers the entire situation. By “chance,” which he g:ono\mcu “shenks,” Schmeling means the opening or situa- tion that will ;m him the upper hand and pave the to victory. The breaks may come his way—or they may go to Sharkey. “If Sharkey wins, I congratulate him. ‘The same way I would wnmmlute my- self if I win,” But why should I lose?” he asked. , yes? He “sh-rkey is ood boxer, with left hand, no: well, mlybo it make him discouraged if he unb hit me with his best punch. That is important. “I do not know how I fight Sharkey. In my training camp I have 20 spar- 1 fight them all. 'fl‘hl:{ tter Wi & y say I can’t hit a good boxer with my right hand. They say he will defend against my right all the time with his Jeft and I never can hit him. That is fooli “He must punch at me sometime, no? When he punches at me he moves his hands, ves? When he does that he leaves an opening, nicht wahr? Then I can punch, Then I will hurt Sharkey. und | Maybe my shenks come then.

Gus was outweighed by 25 pounds and he looked like a pigmy alongside of the fiery Pole. Stasiak treated Sonnen- berg, who is ized wp fhe world champion in some States and just an- other wrestler in others, prettty roughly for the first 45 minutes of the match, but then Stanley received a jolt in the nature of a six-foot drop from the ring. Stanley didn't like this so much, but it suited the former Dartmouth colle- glan perfectly, for it took him only about & minute after his mammoth op- panent had climbed back into the ring to butt him to the matt and win the first fall. Stanley was in ill humor to begin with, and the loss of the first fall didn’t help matters any, so _he came into the nng for the second bout with one of those looks that only a wrestler can make. He lit into the former grid star and tossed Champion Gus all Ovei place. Then Gus catapulted him. self into Stanley’s midsection and th® fight was over. The time of the second fall was 1 minute and 30 seconds. ‘Bobby Mainford, using a fiying crotdlf; threw Tom Clayton in 15!2 minutes in the first preliminary. Mario Giglio continued his winning ways when he tossed Ivan Pimbo with a flying mave after nine minutes of fast grappling, while Harry Mamus and Cyclone Reiss fought to a 30-minute draw.
