In fact, he improved so much, our corner was unanimous in the some- | what biased opinion that “we wuz robbed.” It seems to be proper con- duct for a second to disagree if the decision goes against your fighter, 50 we disagreed. | Fighters, if Scott is an example, seldom bother to spit over their chin | They gulp water or spirits of am- | monia. swish it around & bit, nod | their heads a trifle and allow it to seconding Scott in his losing argu- ment with Norment Quarles. Our part in the between- round strategy consisted of pull- ing Howard’s trunks out so he could breathe more freely.

Joey, however, stuck on top of him and battered Ray to the floor for a| count of nine. Ingram gamely arose, but Archibald quickly terminated the bout by whipping both fists to the head unmercifully as Ray stood with his hands down, befogged and defense- less.

I.I‘OW'S comeback campaign, which started several weeks ago with a knockout victory over Eddie Mader, advanced t a more definite stage when he chopped a short right to Bandy's jutting jaw.

Lou Gevinson's locally famed south. :aw socks were nullified for six rounds y the boring-in tactics of ‘Johnny Pena, veteran New York . feather- weight, but it was Pena's love of in- xide fighting which proved his down- gall. Gevinson allowed Pena to set the Ppace and fight the battle he had planned.

C. Slapnicka, | club vice president, said today | Feller will return from Milwaukee, | | where his sore right arm has been treated by Dr. L. K. Smith, bone spe- | cialist, and will take an easy workout, Slapnicka said. If he declares his arm-still troubles him he will be sent home to Van Meter, Towa, until next season, the | club official deciared, but if not, he will stay with the Tribe. Slapnicka said he accompanied the young strike- | | out sensation on an unheralded trip to Milwaukee Monday night, where Fel- | ler was registered as “Bob Smith."” Feller has pitched to only one bat- | ter since April 24, when he complained | of an arm injury suffered during the | six-inning chore which marked his | 1937 American League debut.

ETROIT, June 3 -1t became pretty apparent today that “deflating” Buck Newsom is another noble experiment gone haywire. For a while it sounded feasible. Manager Bucky Harris took the opening game assignment from him and it was nearly a full week after the season | started before Newsom pitched. The idea was to impress Buck that he was not the whole show on the Washington ball club. Climaxing a series of off-the-diamond events Hogan charged each other in the dugout at Navin Field yesterday Newsom and Shanty Teammates stepped up and prevented blows from being struck. Harris ordered Newsom off the field and the big pitcher refused to move until told the third time Then he left with reluctance Today Newsom stands completely unmasked for the first 1im in 1935, reputedly for a sum of $40.000 Clark Griffith bought time since He stands not as the blustering, ego-bloated guy the public popularly pictures him, but as a fellow with inferiority complex. His gone and there is a hangdog look on his face and bewilderment in his voice. Pride and a quick (emper sent him into ‘the near battle with Hogan and remorse and a back-to-the- world sensation have been gnawing at his innards ever since It becomes definitely obvious now that Newsom is no guy to deflate, because there is nothing to deflate except an innocent harmless veneer of cockiness. If anything. to get results in the pitching box from Newsom. it looks as if the bosses of the Washington ball club will have to about face and start inflating. Expected Opening Game Honor. BUCK was bewildered when he did | not receive the opening game as- signment this season against Athletics. The year before he pitched e and won a spectacular 1-to-0 victory over the Yankees. before the opener he confidently had expected to start Cascarella got the nod. Buck's bewilderment increased as games went by and he still was not used. He began to talk less and think more and instead of the re- straint making him more determined, | Newsom began to grow less confident. Things began to come to a head last Sunday in Boston when fully half of the Nats were sitting in a hotel lobby waiting for train time. Good-natured digs thrown. Laughs were Trainer Mike Martin began to dig too deeply and personali- ties were involved. Newsom, who did not instigate the comic paging of “Dr. Jensen” (Chat- tanooga trainer sometimes mentioned as Martin's successor), heard the term “counterfeiter” hurled at him. “You haven't got a friend on the club” he was told. “You ought to were being general until be behind a plow, where you belong.” Newsom, Martin Make Up. NEWSOM and Martin since have declared a truce and are on friendly terms now but the words stung both Buck and Mike that night going back to Washington. “I'll never pitch another ball game while he (Martin) is connected with this club,” declared Newsom on the train. He was speaking out of rage, of course, but Newsom that night told intimates that he seriously was con- sidering getting out of base ball for a year. “I hope it's not true, me not having a friend on the club,” he added. “If it is, then I don't care to go on.” ‘The morning brought more rational outlooks. Neither Martin nor New- som meant what they said. As a Landis, Frick, Harridge Panned for All-Star Set-Up Critics Think Fans Should Have Selected Team—Ryder Cup Berths May Go Begging.

Still, in the back of Buck's mind, germs of doubt began to spread The blow-off came yesterday. Going into the seventh inning Newsom held & 7-to-3 lead. He walked the first batter and Walker doubled the man to third base. Harris thumbed New- som out of the game and waved Ed Linke to the box. Buck took it with good grace and sat on the bench. Teammates Prevent Battle. ] INKE walked the first hitter to ‘ face him, filling the bases. Then Goose Goslin hit his home run to tie the score at 7-7, snatching victory from Newsom When the Nats came back to the bench, Hogan is reported to have asked “It looked like you lost your stuff,” Hogan was quoted as saying in a helpfully suggestive tone. Newsom, nerves taunt, snapped back “you attend to vour catching and I'll do my pitching.” More words passed and’they rushed Teammates broke it Buck finally left, as Harris' tone be- came sharper with each of his three commands. Having Linke and Joe Cascarella undo the work he had done failed to sit well with Buck. These first termites of discord that are eating into the Washington club | probably are not to be taken seriously, | but it looks now as if Newsom is due another deal. He definitely is not a guy to be kicked. It's a slap on the back that Buck needs. Without referring to any incident, Newsom himself gave a tip-off last night when a chewing gum concern used his picture and name in adver- tising and somebody asked him what he got out of it. “Nothing,” said Buck. “I didn't know they were going to use me. suppose I could sue or something, but then they could write back and ask why should they pay me when I can't win a ball game. They'd have me there.” % That doesn’t sound like the Newsom who was supposed to be synonymous with base ball braggadocio, does it? Major Leaders By the Associated Press.
