TIMES’ TOSSERS TAME TIGERS NEWSPAPER WORKERS NIP RIVER TEAM BY 18-14 SCORE Composed of an imposing array of softbal ltalent, the Daily Ttimes team yesterday took the Saannah River Tigers for a rids in their sec ond meeting. The Times team came out on the long end of the score, 18 16. Headed by J. Downs, who spanked the ball Into deep center on two consecutive trips to the platter for home runs, the newspaper boys were never headed and appeared to get runs whenever needed. Playing loos ball, the Times aggreg ation needed their hits to offset their playing on the field. Barnes, elongated hurler for the winning club, was given poor supvort, but manged to keep the old fort boys In the hole when the game got tough. Defensive ball was clearly demonstrated by the Adonis of the News team, Melvin Lee, who besides being manager for the News team, is general utility man.

By WALTER JOHNS JOE DI MAGGIO—YANKEES FOR $75,000 YOU ought to be able to pick up a pretty good gall player. The Yanks are said to have paid that much dough for Joe (Dead Pan) Di Maggio, and ir return they have what everyone says is the prize beauty of the 1936 crop of bushers. Behold Bustl er Joe Di Maggio! An outfielder, young, a heavy right handed hitter and a fan favorite these are assets of this 21-year-old San Francisco boy, whose .399 hit ting average for the Seals In 193 ended his playing days < the hope) with the coast league and made him eligible for a major league uni form. ..... INJURE DELAYS HIM New Yorkers who marveled at the feats of Babe Ruth should find solace at least in Di Maggio. The coast rookie has lived up to glowing advance notices in spring training and was to break into the regular lineup as soon as an injured foot, scorched hi an electric heat-beating machine, was healed. Joe was four years in the Holly wood league. He went to the Seals in 1932 from high school. He started as a shortstop, but a great throwing arm and his ability to nab fly balls relegated him (or promoted as you will) to the outer sticks. In the out field he stuck for four years, hitting .340 in 1933, playing little in 1934 1 because of a knee injury in an auto- THAN, I PHONE 6183 —EARLY PLEASE WILL THE SPECTER SCARE SCHMELING, TOO? ••• *** * * * * * * BOXING WRITERS WILL WATCH HIS CAMP FOR SIGNS OF HOBGOBLINS THAT FRIGHTENED BAER, CARNERA MAX SCHMELI By BILL BRAUCHER Central Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 12— Fighters’ training camp activities usually are dull things to write about, but Max Scnmelling’s camp will be different. As a rule the beak-buster brushing up for a championship event has his work cut out for him. He saves a little girl lost in the woods, rescues a boatful of boxing writers from drowning (more’s the pity), perfects a devastating secret punch, tells the world that he has a blueprint of his opponent’s style. The scribes sit around suffering hotfoots administer ed by Pete Reilly and talking about such things as the time when Gene Tunney bawled them all out for writ ing him down instead of up. But Max Schmeling's camp proml ises variety. Those who go to his camp will becarrying with them one big ques tion, a question they will ask Schmel ing only with their eyes. The question is: ‘Max, are you afraid?” Until now the heart of the Black Uhlan has shown no weakness. I spent weeks watching him train for HIGH SWIMMERS PRIME FOR RIVALS ATLANTA SCHOOL’S MER MEN COME SAVANNAH THIS MONTH Savannah High school will stage its last swimming meet of the •season whe nit meets the strong Boy's High school from Atlanta some time in the latter part of the month. Coached by Sam William of the Y. the locals went to Atlana last week, and copped third place in the GIAA meet which was featured by the record smashing performance of John McKenna and Sonny Bragg of the Bluejackets in the breast stroke and diving events. With Boy’s High strength in the free style events, Savannah hopes to make up for their weakness in these events by taking first place in the breast, diving and back stroke events. The meet appears to be a toss-up to sports observers with the winner not being more than 5 points in the lead when the final results are tabulated. The exact date for the meet not being known at this time, it is under stood that it will be held in the last week of the month, no meet in At lanta as a return engagement being contemplated by the Jackets. Ellis, Neuberger, McKenna, Bragg, Weeks, Weil, Sonyer and others will take the burden of the meet on their shoulders for the last scholastic meet for the Jackets. Press.)

Camera was a man with courage and some confidence in his own des troying powers. His managers built up that belief by giving him pushovers in his early fights until the tall Ital ian began to think he must be in vincible. The feeling fled from him, though, when lie met Louis, and his blood turned to water before he ever swung a punch at the leering shadow there in the ring with him. His eyes, his demeanor, his pale lips told the story as he sat in his corner before the first round. HOW THEY STAND NATIONAL LEAGUE Boston. 2; Brooklyn, 1. New York, 13; Philadelphia, 12.

Joe has worked only one day in his life. When you talk about baseball, however, he's right there for that is play for him. Joe is six feet one inch tall, weighs 187 pounds and is the fourth oldest in a family of nine. His brother, Vince, older than Joe, formerly with Hollywood (now the San Diego Mis sions) is a pretty fair ball player and is due for promotion. GOOD FOR LIFE iat paralyzed Baer and Levinsky sei Levinsky died a thousand deaths in his dressing room. His fear was pathetically obvious as he was es corted to the ring by men who feared he would collape before the opening gong. The Chicago fish peddler went through the mot-~ns, but there was no hope in him. He had a date with destruction. It got under Max Baer’s skin, too. As the match with Louis drew near, the men covering his training camp at Speculator saw the shadow coming behind him. Joe Louis was all over the camp. It was almost as if Baer expected the Brown Bomber to leap out at him from behind a tree or strangle him as he slept. On the day of the fight Baer was a quaking wreck. Uzudun was not suspected of it—at first. But as the fight began to loom nearer Joe Louis took on all the reality of death in the Basque's up set mind. Paulino had no more hope when he went to the ring to face Louis than Hauptmann had when he walked the last few steps to the chair. You might say rigor mortis already had set in.

Louis very much like a person whe has something distasteful to do and wants to get it ovai with. He swung a couple of punenes that missed by yards. 1 One of the few men who did not fear Louis was Patsy Perroni of Clever land and Boston. And in that fight, I think, lies the hope for any man who finds himself facing a fight with Louis. Perroni was in there to fight. There was*no geezer in the Italian boy. Louis knocked him down, but he got up and fought back the best he knew how. It is significant that Louis did not knock him out. Neither did Louis knock out Natie Brown, a young man with the heart of a lion, who stayed 10 rounds with the Bomber in Detroit. During the next few weeks the dark-browed battler from the Rhine land will be subjected to the most searching examination he ever has taken. He is getting ready to meet Joe Louis. Fear of Louis has caused the spines of a dozen gladiators to crumble and has sapped their strength. To end this on a happy note, Max Schmeliing may be different! GOLF FACTS A VOIP SPGEADHO6 LINGERS IN GRIPPING sd Number 923 ALEX MORRISON says: The easiest fault to recognize is a tight hold with the right hand, a hold which often finds the player gripping the club in the palm. Perhaps the least effective of all remedies is the player’s at tempt to keep the strong hand from grasping too tightly. In try ing to lighten the grip with this hand he’ll invariably loosen his fingers by separating them as shown in the accompanying illus tration. This separation doesn’t serve to lighten the grip one bit, in fact it adds to the tension in the right wrist and forearm. If you are among those who have lapsed into this fault, check it now by keeping all of your fingers close together. This goes for the fingers of the left as well as for the right hand. The main idea about the hands is to get* them to work in harmony, to work together as one. Obviously the closer your fingers and the closer you keep the hands the nearer you come to this goal. -.

Only four games were played in both leagues yesterday. in the American league, the Detroit Tigers beat the Indians, 8 to 3, and the White Sox downed the Br owns, 19 to 6. In the National league, the Boston Bees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers, 2 to 1 and the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Nation als in a 13 to 12 slugfest. The Phillies smashed out five home runs yesterady against the New York Giants. The Giants’ ace rightfielder Mel Ott, got himself one. Therein lies a story. The Phils’ fourbaggers were run of the mine smashes. Ott’s was of the payoff variety. The Phils were leading the Giants 12 to 10, with two down in the first half of the ninth. Boss Bill Terry and Mark Koenig were on base. Up stepped Ott. Wham, and over the right. field wall went one of Pitcher Claude Passeau's fireballs. Ott’s wal lop won the game, 13 to 12, and boosted the Giants into a third place tie with the idle Chicago Cubs. The homer wasn’t Ott’s only mighty deed. The veteran outfielder smash ed in eight runs all told with his home, a double and a single. In ad dition. he scored three other tallies. Yesterday’s scores: AMERICAN LEAGUE R. H.

Little Petey Sarron, the Birming ham buzz saw, is the new owner of the featherweight crown. Sarron took the championship title from Freddie Miller in a fast 15-round bout which was the first championship fight ever staged in the nation’s capital. Miller, the 9 to 5 favorite, piled up an early lead but faded in the clos ing rounds. The champ barely weath ered the unlucky 13th, when Sar ron pounded him into the ropes with a flurry of leather. It was the fourth time the two midget battlers had met. To commemorate the fourth cen tenary of the discovery of Brazil this stamp was issued in 1900.
