Bob Burke went to the firing line | fgainst the Harrismen and though his mates staked him to a two-run lead at | Whitlow Wratt’s expense right off the reel. the o nder was so unsteady at the outset that the home side off- set that Washington advantage and went it two better, Later the Nation- als nicked Wyatt for a tie, but Burke took another peppering and Johnson's oufit could do nothing worth while to the pitching of Tommy Bridges, who hurled after the third round. The Nationals got eight hits, but the ‘Tigers got 14. All but one of the enemy’s hits were gleaned off Burke. For three innings Weaver filled a re- lief role and did so well Johnson's men got three of their hits off Wyatt be- fore the heat drove him to cover. Jack Stone was the big noise of the ‘Tiger attack. In five trips to the plate he collected four safeties. Cne was a homer lifted into the bleachers, one was & double and two were singles. But for Joe Cronin the Nationals wouldn't have done much in a scoring way. With a double, a single and a | hard infield drive that resuited in his erasure, Joc drove acros: of his club’s five tallies. He did more than his share, but outside of Heinie Man- | ush, who smote three singles in four times at bat and was on each time | Cronin did the run-producing bludgeon- | ing, the other Natlonals were quite | subdued.

Y., June 20. —It's all over but the clouting! Yesterday I finished active training for my fight with Jack Sharkey. and I await the signal that will start the battle for the heavy- weight championship, which I will take into the ring with me in the new Madison Square Garden bowl tomorrow night. I will bring it out with me when I leave the ring. When we leave this camp we will g0 to the home of a friend of Joe Jacobs on Long Island, where I shall remain until time to weigh in at the boxing commission at 2 o'clock Tuesday. After that I shall rest until the time for the fight. I will weigh about 191 pcunds. Perhaps I will even be a pound lower than that. I am perfectly satisfled with my condition. I have come through without mishap and feel great. I haven't 8 worry on my mind. I have repeated this so often it prob- ably will sound as if I'm just saying it to hear myself talk. But every- body asks abcut this, so I might as well repeat it, '.hnugh it seems funny to me to keep saying it about a healthy man. 1 was careful, more careful than usual, in my last workout. Chester Matan, two rounds; Lou Barba, two rounds, and Dick Onken, one round, making five in all. Perhaps some pecple have won- dered why I haven't boxed 15 rounds at any one time in my training. My answer to that is it hasn't been necessary. I know I can travel 15 rounds without tiring, and even 20 or more, if necessary. ‘The purpose of these sparring bouts is to accustom me to certain ccnditions. I get my timing and judgment of distance by this means. It is like swinging a golf club. Once you have it pretty well suited to you, you can keep your hand in just by practicing the swing a few times every day. I have my hand in now and I am satisfied that the kind of fight that will ensue will find me ready. ‘When I enter the ring I will fight my fight. I have not shown what I intend to do in these training bouts. I shall not have to be careful. If I get a cut eye, that won't matter; a ‘bloody nose, a split lip, a caulifiower ear, a few busted teeth, none of these things will be serious during the bate age that may result in the winning of the battle after it is over. A general does not count his losses during a battle. The thing is to win at whatever cost, and then afterward he checks up the cost. Victory bought cheaply is rarely worth much I don’t care how dearly I pay for mine. I have the price, no matter what it may be, And I shall not be stingy with my forces. ‘There will be no change in mv routine of living, except that where I worked in these latter days, I will rest. I shall do plenty of resting. and this may bring my weight up a couple of pounds between now and the time for going into the ring. I am not a big eater at any time, and therefore shall make no changes whatsoever in my diet. I never do. I slept in my usual manner last night, and will do the same thing tonight. Of this I am certain. I do not get excited easily, and change of living quarters never affects me. I can sleep anywhere when I want to sleep. In my next article I shall tell you exactly how I think the fight will be waged Of course, this will be mere guessvork on my part, but at least I can tell you wha§ will be done by me if certain conditions arise.
