Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablett When you read the big league results you can see how Brooklyn Brook-lyn is leading the league. They have won ten and lost two a-gainst a-gainst the Cubs and eleven and three against Cincinnati. Against Again-st the other five clubs they have j lost 38 and won 31. McGraw was right, to win you have to beat the tail enders. i I Last yw the St. Louis Browns played dead for Cleveland but this year its different. I still like i the Indians to win in the American. Ameri-can. Good solid club. With an-i an-i other young pitcher that is going go-ing great in Garcia. In the National Na-tional it looks like St. Louis has too much pitching plus the fact that Musial has started to hit. That guy in Cleveland that got 1 on that pole and said he wouldn't come down until the Indians were in the lead wasn't so dum"b. He owns the drug store underneath under-neath the pole. His business has increased about five hundred per j cent. About eight or ten clubs in the majors will draw over a million. Cleveland, Yankees and Brooklyn Brook-lyn are over that now. I see Dick Powers is playing shortstop for Magna. Dick quit Helper, they gave him his release and he hooked on with the mill-men. mill-men. Dick is something like Bobo INewsome. He is well traveled Salt Lake, Brigham City, Helper and now Magna. One up on Tate. ' "Nig" has been with Salt Luke, Helper and now American Fork. Jack Roach, the old time trainer, train-er, manager and promoter, ranks the heavyweights in this order-John order-John L. Sullivan, James J. Jefries, Robert Fitzsimmons, Jack Johnson, James J. Corbett, Gene Tunney, Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis. Roach has been connected with the fight game for the past 50 years. Of course he will get a lot of argument. He puts Louis in eighth place because he couldn't could-n't take a punch around the head. He was on the floor in almost every fight, and he never was up against a hitter like Dempsey, Jeffries or Bob Fitzsimmons. For mvself I like Dempsey on top with Jeffries next. They were both fast, dynamite in both hands and they could take a punch. Roach also ranked Gene Tunney as the smartest of them all. He could be right. The guy quit with a couple of million and his wife has twice as much. I see Promoter Jim Downing has matched Rex Layne with a fellow by the name of Thomas from Washington, D. C, for the third of August. Don't know much about Thomas but the boxing box-ing guide has his record. He has , plenty of experience. I wonder if he knows how to fall. Saw if you want an evening of entertainment, go down to the i newly lighted softbail field. Two 1 games going from six until ten, j and plenty of action. See you next we?k. AL j O |
