My authority for the valor of the Yankee veterans is Joe Gordon, Gor-don, who, while he is only 26 and has been with the Yanks but three years, is one of the veterans who will have to tattle for jobs in spring training camp. En route to the Yankee camp in St. Petersburg, Peters-burg, Joe stopped here long enough to talk a little baseball and play golf with me. "We're going to have a red-hot spring workout, you can bet on that," Joe said. "Mr. Barrow and Joe McCarthy have brought in all the young talent from the minrs, and it is going to be a free-for-all fight for positions. But dont sell us short until the kids prove they can beat us playing baseball. Take Kickey, for example. Bill got off wrong last year and never did get straightened out, hut I'd bet you He'll catch a hundred games and bat over three hundred. And that Crosetti. Tve been alongside him for three years, and he still is the best defensive shortstop in the American league. I roomed with Rolfe last year and I know what gave him a bad year. His tonsils were lad and they bothered his eyes. He used to get up in the morning and could scarcely see. He has had the tonsils out and he'll be all right." Joe made it clear he wasn't knocking the youngsters who were coming up. I asked him about Jerry Priddy, the Kansas City flash who'll be gunning for Joe's second base job, and his sidekick, Phil Rizzuto. the shortstop. "Great ball players. Both of them. I know Priddy well. I play-on play-on a team with him in. Los Angeles An-geles in 1930. He's a great fielder and a good, strong hitter, I'v played against Priddy and Rizzutd in exhibition games. Rizzuto is red-hot." I asked Joe is he though he could keep his job at second base. "I won't swear T will, tout I'm going to give it a full try. I nev er have gone to spring training in better shape. All I hope is the weather will be decent. We had a terrible spring in Florida last year, and even if it sounds like an alibi, that is what cost us our fifth straight pennant. Every man on the club had charleyhorses for the first month of the season. Did he think the Yanks were a cinch this year ? ; "No, I don't. If we get our share of luck we should win , be cause man for man we have the best team in the league. Cleveland is bound to be tough. Give Boston a pitcher or two, and it'll be tough to get. Greenberg alone makes Detroit De-troit tough and there's another club in the league that is going to surprise you. St. Louis. Yes, the Browns."

Louis knocked out Gus Dorazio last night in the second round before be-fore 15,902 ctrfo customers at Convention hall, setting a record for indoor boxing crowds ' in Philadelphia and a similar record for the $57,552. gate, achieved his epctctep,4 When th e Brown Bomber achieved his 14th successful title defense at 1:3 of the second round, he surplsed most experts who had figured that Philadelphia (challenger (chal-lenger would last at least three or four sessions. .But the chajnpion's showing, show-ing, before this kayo was so questionable particularly In the first round that some of the moRt practical man In the fight mob called it "brutal." Even Louis' co-man-managers, Julian Black and John Ro.1m rough, were apolo-grtlc. apolo-grtlc. Louis revealed in this historic first round he no longer had co-ordination of youth. He showed he was off on his timing and judgement of distance, until Dor-azio's Dor-azio's own carelessness in the second session made the challenger challen-ger a ready target that even a novice could have tagged. - Louis tagged him then all right, proving at least the Detroit negro ne-gro still has his lightning punch. Louis hit him with the hardest straight he has thrown since he smacked rugged Paulino to the canvas before . Joe became champion. . , ' Dorazio'8 manager, Joe Martino, said, "Gus got too confident. He left himself wide oprn while coming up from a crouch with left hooks, trying to knock Louis out." And that's the picture in a nutshell. nut-shell. Louis, whose record of 41 knockouts knock-outs in 49 previous professional Uouta stamps - him as the most destructive puncher the heavy weight division ever knew, tried to establish a brand new record for speedy knockouts in a heavyweight heavy-weight chamDionship fight. He tried to put Dorazio away more quickly than the 2:04 of the first round he achieved in his second battle with Max Schmeling. And Louii sould have been geared to accomplish this, or at least approach it. against a mediocre medi-ocre opponent like Dorazio. Because Be-cause never in the history of heavy champions Was a titleholdcr moP carefully nharpened. No previous heavyweight king ever went into the ring with more immediate im-mediate conditioning under his belt. Bomber Joe had been training train-ing almost continuously for three months. He had title fight with Al McCoy and Red Burman under his belt within the last two months. Despite this unprecedented preparation, Louis went Into the ring slightly over-stuffed at 203 Vi pounds, the heaviest he ever weighted for a title defense. When his right smacked into the Philadelphia Italian'- chin Gus wilted forward as if he had baen shot with a big-game gun, and sprawled forward on his face on the canvas. There he remained while referree Irving Kutcher counted him out. When he was revived re-vived in" his corner, he asked, "What happened? Is it really over?" Dorazio, who fought on even terms with the champion in the first round, paved the way for the knockout by carelessly running run-ning into a long left jab after a minute of the second session had elapsed. He came up out of his crouch to swing a left hook that time also. As soon as he recovered his balance, Gus went into another an-other crouch, rising with a left hook. Then the right hit him, ; and the roof fell in. M:ike This '-'3c No Kixk Teat Try It for Relief of Cough and Cold Dicomfort.

SH.R UVEA'S Style Leadership - Young university Cougars do tattle here this weekend against teams that are about as evenly-matched evenly-matched with the B. Y. U. five as any quints could be. Coach Eddie Kimball's rejuvenated rejuven-ated Cougars meet Denver Friday Fri-day and Wyoming Saturday in the Wean's gym. B. Y. U. dropped a 46-5 decision de-cision to Wyoming at Laramie a month ago that Cowboy followers are still talking about. The Cougars Cou-gars led all the way only to see Wyoming come from behind to Take the lead just before the game ended. That the Young U-Denver teams are evenly matched was shown Saturday when the two quints fought to a 31-all tie at the end of the regular game. B. Y. U. won out in the extra period. Coach Kimball sent his cagers through a light drill Monday, sending send-ing the regulars to the showers early, but scrimmage drills begin this evening in preparation for the double lest. Knowing that they have two tough games anead of them, the Cougars are buckling down to hard work and should be at their peak for the contest. As a point or two might decide either game, the "Y" players are expected to get plenty of practice pitching foul tosses. The Cougars have collected more free throws than any other team and have dropped contests because of inability to hit the hoop from the foul line. The first intercollegiate football game was played between Prince ton and Rutgers in 1869. Sweater Sale Values to $4 There Are Only 5 Dozen $40 Values (75 Values |
