Musial's Bat Winning Weapon For Cardinals New York, June 23 U St. Louis' Cardinals today laid claim to the most lethal weapon in base, ball a 36-inch piece of hickory autographed "Stanley Musial."

REMEMBER: "RIGHT'S RIGHT AT EDDIES" EDDIE'S SALES AN SERVICE 390 Greenwood Chrysler Plymouth Telephone 64 Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (United I'rm SporU Writer) New York. June 23 HP) Joe Louis was about ready to prove today that crime does decidedly pay Arnold Crime, that is, alias Arnold Cream, alias Jersey Joe Walcott. For at about 10:26 come Wed nesday's post meridian or some time during the seventh round Fearless Fraley feels that the champ Is going to lower the boom on the bike racing king of Cam den, N. J. Thus will Walcott become the tenth member In good standing of the Louis double feature dis play. And, like the nine others, he'll find that the second time around is the quickest , Banks on Louis This despite the fact that Louis' hands now are alleged to have slightly less authority than the hind hooves ot a mountain can ary. Old Fearless is banking on Alabama Joe being more stub born than the mule. Louis seemes primed to prove that a fall goeth before pride. He fell down badly the last time, taking a' split decision, and now he has to resurrect his morale. That pride of his has to be satis- ilea ana you u see sometnine akin to the old Louts this trip. On top of which, the Brown Bomber is fighting for a future meal ticket. So, maybe not this time in the near future, Louis plans to retire. If he loses the title he winds up as just another heavyweight. But that "retired undefeated heavyweight cham pion" will pay off for years and he wants the designation badly. Then,, too, the ; pair of Joes . haven't endeared themselves to each other as their respective marching, crowded and oratorical societies whiled away the past six montns witii mvectives. Walcott has made it tough on himself. The fugitive from hit and run charges has caricatured Louis as a has been. And he also took some liberties with the memory ot Jack Blackburn, the late trainer who was to Louis as a father. - , u ; Claims Blackburn Walcott insisted . that " Black' buriU who alwavs called Louis "Chappie," originally 1 took him under his wing and gave him that nickname. Which probably makes Walcott the original Brown Bomber, in his own eyes. He coppers the bet by saying that while he was having a bout with some germs, Blackburn tied on to his new "Chappie" the man named Joe Louis". Louis was terribly fond of old Jack. And he wasn't overjoyed to hear Walcott's claims. Remembpr.. tno... that nnhnriv ever has accused Louis of being a rni ueta Kappa ol clout. Some- umes xnose strange, new styles bother him. But by the time a curtain call rolls around, it al ways has seeped through the Louis cranium and retribution sets in.
