caught the town Senators with the
lower portion of their pitching staff
showing Ust night at Waters field,
got a pair of well-pitched games
themselves and downed the locals
in both ends of the doubleheader,
6-3 and 5-3. Thus the big nine
game week at home with the top
two W1L clubs started out on the
wrong foot. The double los
dropped the Solons into a fourth
place tie with Victoria and the
wins hiked the Tiger' leading
margin to three games over second
place Bremerton.
Two more of these important
struggles tonight, starting at 6:30
o'clock, and it will be Lefty Kenny

Wwidburn Paul Halter, who was

Although their pitching and

did give the wee gathering of 946
an example of their league-leading
defensive ability. Both Al
Spaeter and Mel Nunes, who seem
bent on proving they're tops at
their trade with the leather In the
WIL, turned in some dandy plays.
So did Danny Perlmutter, Tiger

Frankie Parker, who is strong

Fine opportunity for some of you

Tided by the Junior school which
was Inaugurated last Friday by

Bomber Still Sucker
For Right Hand Punch
POMPTON LAKES, N. J., June lS-lTVFor man who says he
"expects to win quick," Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis still is
shockingly easy to hit with a straight right hand.
This chink in the Brown Bomber's armor was quite evident
today as he went four rounds with assorted sparmates in prepara
tion for his title defense against Jersey Joe Walcott at Yankee stadium
June 23. Dick Hagan, an ex-Golden Glove heavyweight champ from
Chicago, scored consistently with a right shot to the head before
Tiger Roy Taylor, a 180-pounder from New York, put on a cagy
imitation of Walcott. Promoter Mike Jacobs was an interested spec
tator. The champ definitely will continue work through Monday with
four more scheduled boxing sessions. He will spar again Thursday,
Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Louis boxed one round each with Hagan. Taylor, Shamus
O'Brien and McKinley English after undergoing a preliminary physi
cal examination by Dr. Vincent Nardiello, the New York commission
physician. He was pronounced "much improved'' over his condition
before the first Walcott fight last December.
In an interview before the workout, Louis again blamed his poor
December fight on drying out to take off weight. He assured some
40 reporters that he would not repeat the error. Before the drill he
said he weighed 215, a weight he hopes to hold until ring time.

'Sugar' Needs
Kayo Victory
CHICAGO, June 15-;p-Sugar
Ray Robinson, knockout winner
over 58 of his 88 foes in an eight
year career, figures he also must
flatten Challenger Bernard Docu
sen Thursday night, or kiss good
bye to his welterweight crown and
a shot at Tony Zale.
Robinson, a 6 to 1 favorite at the
moment, said today he believed
that if the 21-year-old Docusen
used his dancing-master tactics for
the 15-round route at Cominsky
park, the decision could go against
him. Prime motive in Robinsn's
rigorous preparation for his third,
and perhaps last defense of his
welter crown, obviously is a
chance at Zale's newly-acquired
middleweight crown. A knockout
triumph would start a steam-roller
movement for a Robinson-Zale
bout which conceivably could lure
a record middleweight gate.
Head Wallops
Busy Walcott
GRENLOCH, N. J.. June IS-iTPV-Jersey
oe Walcott boxed four brisk
rounds today, concentrating on
throwing punches to the head, as
he sharpened up for his world
championship fight uno 23 against
Joe Louis in Yankee stadium.
Only three more hard workouts
remain before he will move into a
quiet hotel in New York to await
what he firmly believes is his big
chance to win the heavyweight
championship from Louis.
Throughout Walcott showed the
same fancy dance steps, and con
tinuous bobbing and weaving that
so baffled Louis when they met
last December. Although obviously
not working at top speed, Walcott
moved effortlessly around the ring,
threw hard blows when he felt like
it, and at all times was the master
of the situation.
Walcott's emphasis on lefts to
the head indicated he reliance on
this weapon against the champion.
If Louis has a vulnerable spot, it is
his head.
Walcott now weighs 196'2
pounds and aims at entering the
ring at from 193 to 195.
