I BRADDOCK WEARY OF LAW PALAVER s ‘Champ Eager to Get Down | to Fighting—Sure He Can Whip Louis. BY ALAN GOULD, EW YORK, February 25.—It will be quite all,right with, James J. Braddock when the | lawyers retire from the | heavyweight ring, pull the zippers on their brief cases and permit him to James J. says he is not only bored by nearly two years of inactivity and and a father is more than anxious to | feather the nest that was worn a trifie bare before he shocked the fistic ex- perts by whipping the magnolia man, Max Baer. Braddock wants to fight not once, but twice this year. That's how confi- | dent he is of his chances of beating | Joe Louis, the first Negro to get a shot | at the heavyweight crown since Jack Johnson. Not Taking Joe Lightly. “J OUIS can be hit, and any fighwr‘ who can be hit can be beaten,” says Braddock. ‘I'm not underesti- mating him. He can punch—punch hard with either Fand. He's got to get set for those punches. I don’t expect to let him get set—too often. If and when he beats Louis and col- lects, he hopes, the better part of $500,000 for his share of the Chicago fight profits, Braddock wants to take on Max Schmeling, to remove any question about who's who in the heavyweight industry. “Louis, regardless of the outcome of their fight last year, figures to be tougher than Schmeling,” says Brad- dock. “Joe has a knockout punch in either hand. while Max has nothing dangerous but that right. Points to Louis’ Mistakes. # A SMART hoxer is not going to be nailed by that right the way Louis was. Most fights are won or Jost because of mistakes in the ring. Louis made too many mistakes against Schmeling. “I'll start work in the woods be- fore settling down to any training routine. I'll get plenty of road work. But that doesn't mean I'm going o give Louis a foot race.” Varied Sports College Hockey. Army, 3; Middlebury, 0. Minnesota, 3; Michigan, 1. St. Olaf, 4; St. Thomas, 2. College Swimming.

U BOXING TEAM IN FINAL TONIGHT Fights Miami Here—Little Is Known About Cards’ Adversaries. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S boxing team will toss their final punches of the current fistic campaign tonight, meet- ing an unknown quantity in the mit- ten manipulators of Miami at Catholic University gym at 8:15 o'clock. Victorious over Tennessee, 8-0, in their opening match of the season, the Miamians dropped a 7-1 verdict to the strong Syracuse Club last week. Cardinal followers admittedly are puz- zled over the prowess of the invading team but are confident Catholic will wind up its season with a triumph. Coached by Dempsey.

BAER NOW LOOKS 10 SCRAP ABROAD Pastor Bout Out, Max Will Take on Peterson—Farr Victor in England. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, February 25.—The latest heavyweight fiasco—the failure of New York’s fistic | fathers, in a huffing-and-pufff | ing session, to grant Max Baer a li- | cense to fight Bob Pastor for Madison | Square Garden—found the Califor- nian preparing today for a fistic in- vasion of England. that as a result of the collapse of plans to fight here he would go through with an agreement with British promoters, including Brig. Gen. Critchley, now in New York with a guarantee of 4,500 pounds for Baer to meet the winner of heavyweight title. Thought Pastor Bout Set. “WE CAME here with every assur- | ance the Baer-Pastor match would have official okay,” said Hoff- man. “The original contract stipu- lated it would be null and void unless | Boxing Commission by February 10. I gave the Garden a two-week exten- sion until yesterday, meanwhile ad- vising British promoters I would take Baer abroad if the deal here fell through. “Now they want Baer to go down to another meeting, apologize, and get his license. Apologize for what? “He was there to get the license yes- terday, submitting to an examination and doing everything asked of him. Commissioner Bill Brown.” The Garden’s matchmaker, Jimmy Johnston, attempted to pour oil on the troubled waters by conferring with Brown as well as Hoffman, but got nowhere last night in his effos to patch things up.

Braddock Promises to Make Louis “Burn” From Start Joe Flames When Hit—Sutherland Belies Scotch Gags—Gridders Numerous in Films. BY SCOTTY RESTON, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, February 25. —Joe Louis, struck once, flames like a match, but Champion Jimmy Braddock plans to burn him fast. + .. “I'l be hitting from the first bell,” says Jimmy, and sure as gray hair and coffin nails, that'll start a ruction. Got a complaint in the mail from a gent who says he couldn’t under- stand Joe Gould’s Brooklynites over the radio at the Braddock- Louis signing . . . Evidently the boys didn’t “rehoise.” . . . We dop’'t want to get into the argument between Pittsburgh's Jock Sutherland and Don Harrison, but for personal reasons we‘d like to point out that here's one case where a Scotchman is on record as digging into his own jeans to give the boys a little “fun money.” . New York State Athletic Com- missioner Bill Brown was asked yesterday if Max Baer’s hands were examined and O. K. before the Baer-Louis bout . . . Replied the commissioner: “They were exam- ined all right, but we don’t know whether they were okay, because he didnt use them against During this same commission meeting it 'was recalled that Brown » had described Baer as a bum” ., . We looked up this in the biggest dictionary we could find and we've been wondering ever since if Brown could have meant that Baer is (1) a humming noise or (2) a high- pooped, two-masted craft of the Levant . . . Either way, it's pretty bad. Brown and Baer have clashed before . . . You may remember Brown as the gent who was going to stop the Baer-Primo Carnera fight becayse he said Baer wasn't in condition . . . Baer knocked Car- nera down 11 times, and it was freely suggested after the bout that the doctors examine Brown instead of Da Preem. g » Hollywood notes: Nick Lukats, the former Notre Dame star, is the Paramount lot . senberg of Southern California is an assistant director at 20th Cen- tury . . .

Naturally, that an- | nouncement will win him plenty more BY JOHN LARDNER. he will play no base ball whatever in | of the same kind of publicity. | son's opener in April will find the | Diz in there pitching for the St. Louis ‘Cardlnnb, or some other big league | club, but, meanwhile, his retirement | is good for a latch, if nothing else, |and it may add another wrinkle to the furrowed brow of Mr. Branch Rickey, Mr. Dean’s boss. Without taking the announcement too seriously, Mr. Rickey may re- member that, once, at least, in base ball history, a star player did make good his threat to stay out of the game all year. That was Eddie Roush, the old Cincinnati outfielder. Mr. Roush permitted the season to come and go while he sulked in his tent, in the manner of Achilles, though he consumed much more tobacco in the process than Achilles did. Mr. Roush was dissatisfied with his | hand, says he doesn’t care about sal- |ary one way or another. “I don't care whether they give me | 50 grand ‘or not,” says the Diz. *“I won't play ball this year.” T'S a funny th.ng about Mr. Dean. Of all the trouble-makers that base ball has known, and he ranks very high among them, Dizzy is the most clean-living and virtuous. His personal habits, except when he is larking and horsing around with some 1 of the other gas-house gangsters like | Pepper Martin, are above reproach. He is fully equipped to lecture to a class of Sunday school tots. That wasn't the way with most of the other great “Boolsheviks,” as bad actors are known in bese ball. Rube Waddell, Grover Alexander, Phil Doug- las, Hughie McQuillan, Babe Ruth, Flint Rhem, Irish Meusel—they all loved late hours and bright lights and the tinkle of ice in a glass. Arthur (the Great) Shires had a penchant for slugging people on the chin. Ping Bodie used to disappear among the | table d'hote restaurants of the spa- ghetti belt and eat himself into a state of high exaltation, while detec- tives combed the country for him. Even Rogers Hornsby, a mannerly fellow in private life, was too fond of betting the horses for the peace {of mind of his employers in Chi- | cago—at least, so his employers said. Ruth, before the great reformation set in, was as larkish and unstable a citizen as you could wish to see. He breached the peace in seven different languages. Waddell, though his ad- diction to chasing fire engines was innocent enough, had a further rel- ish for the product of the hop vine and a great capacity for same. ‘Waddell and Bodie were leaders in the field of disappearing. Flint Rhem was close behind them. The boys still talk of Flint's sensational kidnaping. That was during a crucial Brooklyn- St. Louis series in 1830. The Card pitcher was absent from duty for quite a spell, and, when he reap- peared. he told a harrowing tale of abduction and torture. “They kidnaped me,” testified Rhem, “and forced me to drink great quan- tities of liquor at the point of a gun. It was terrible.” The boys still drop a sigh of sym- pathy for Mr. Rhem when, they think of his sufferings in that ordeal. | = | Virtuous Trouble-Maker. A Victim of Impulsiveness. HUFFLIN’ PHIL DOUGLAS, in his happy-go-lucky way, was an- | other eminent disappecrer. Phil was too happy-go-lucky for his own good. | An epic pitcher, hero of the World | Series of 1921 with two victories over Carl Mays, he meant well, but never seemed able to behave as well as he meant. And he was impulsive. Im- pulse once led him to stick his right hand into an electric fan in a sub- way car, in 1917, John J. McGraw used to have the Shuffler shadowed and chaperoned by Jesse Burkett. But Phil got away from Burkett from time to time, and, once, after being fined and suspended for an escape like this, his wounded feel- ings caused him to do the foolish thing | that brought his career to an end. He wrote a bitter and reckless letter to an executive of the rival Cardinal Club, containing some unfortunate propositions. The letter was exposed, TRY-ME| BOTTLING €O., Distributo Lincoin 0113 The odds are 50 to 1 that the sea- | salary.

Will Goose Goslin and Al Sim- mons be able to stand the pace in this year of their peak senility? THBRE was considerable talk dur- ing the Winter of Cochrane moving Greenberg off first base and shifting him to the outfield. Under this ar- rangement Rudy York was to play first. Last week, when Mickey vis- ited Washington on personal busi- ness, he found time to deny this plan. Abolishment of this idea came as| no surprise. Among other American League managers there was no doubt but that Greenberg, as an outfielder, | | would have made a good member of | Congress, or something. Unlike Jimmy Foxx or some of the other first basemen, Hank cannot move fast enough to be an outfielder, in the opinion of most keen observers. Cochrane's decision to keep Hankus Pankus at first base appears to place Mr. York directly behind the eight ball, but Rudy ought to be used to it by now. In previous trials with the Tigers he | failed at first, behind the bat and in | the outfield. Last season, however, he did a good job of hitting in the | American Association and, on the | strength of that and the question mark over Greenberg's head, he prob- | ably will be retained. The question mark connected with Greenberg, of course, is whether the big boy has become too brittle to be counted upon as heavily as of Yore. During his last two full years Greenberg took rank among the fore- most hitters in the majors. Then, in the 1935 world series, his left wrist | was broken in a collision on the base | | paths. The following Spring it was broken again, this time by Jake Pow- ell in Washington. Memories of these | bodily contacts may linger.

(This is the eighth of a series speculating on American League clubs as they prepare for Spring training.) NG RLANDO, Fla., February 25.—Mickey Cochrane leads his Tigers to | be in far better health than it was during 1936, when Hank Greenberg was laid up with a broken wrist, Mickey (himself) Cochrane saw spots and the Yankees before his eyes and Schoolboy Rowe was complaining of a chronically sore arm. sharp contrast to previous expeditions Southward, however, Cochrane’s forth- coming caravan is likely to involve grave problems. In run second to the Yanks last season, the Detroit machine some cogs were were due to show it, and not the least important of several questions to be answered are: Will Greenberg be “runner shy” one-- two first-string posts will be fought for by Goose Goslin, who now is 36 years old; Al Simmons, who is not much younger; Pete Fox, Jo-Jo White and Chet Laabs, a promising rookie. Despite the voluntary retirement of Alvin Crowder, the Tigers are not so bad off for pitching. That is, they aren't compared to other slab staffs. Mickey Has Fingers Crossed. SCHOOLBOY ROWE and Tommy Bridges, of course, will head the curving corps and they figure to win 30 or 40 games between them. After this pair will come Elden Auker and young Jake Wade, a southpaw, who undoubtedly will be given a starting role. Vic Sorrell, Clyde Hatter, Roxie Lawson, Red Phillipc and Joe Sulli- van are the other hurlers seemingly holding the best chances of sticking. Detroit fans had ample ex- cuse last season when the Yanks ended the Tigers’ two-year reign of supremacy. This season, even in 100 per cent health, Detroit is not likely to finish better than second, and if they do 50, it probably will be only by a scant margin. They are a ball club which sustained a couple of direct hits last season and which, while waiting for recovery, may have rusted and grown weak in spots. Mickey goes to camp with his fingers crossed. Bryant of Terps Puts Team First DISPLAY of real spirit and self-sacrifice was shown by Bill Bryant, member of the University of Maryland basket ball squad, last night when the Terps beat the North Carolina State team by a sensational second-half drive. Bryant needed to get into last night's tilt to assure him a letter for the season, and Coach Burton Shipley of the Terps fully intended to use him for a time. However, when the Maryland tossers were in the throes of the rally, Bryant turned to his coach and said: “Ship, forget about send- ing me in; the boys are too hot, and they might cool off if you make a change.” Bryant is a Washington boy and a former Central High athlete.

He is impulsive, too, but his impulse never leads him to do anything more fiend- ish than pop off about his colleagues or skip an exhibition game in favor | of a quiet nap. The Diz is temper- | amental, but righteous. Incidentally, if Dizzy ever gets the | $50,000 he has been asking for—which | he almost certainly won't—he will be the fourth ball player in history to achieve such a wage. Ruth, natu- rally, leads all the rest with his top figure of $80,000 a year. Ty Cobb's pay awith the Athletics in 1927 was estimated at $60,000 or $65,000. Tris Speaker got close to $60,000 from the ‘Washington Club in the same year. Some day, Dizzy Dean may break into the refined and exclusive order of 50-grand boys, along with Cobb, Speaker and Ruth. It may happen if St. Louis trades him to another club. But, meanwhile, the Diz is in a huff, and that's where to forward his mail.
