Skits and

By Fred Zimmerman
Capital Journal Sports Editor
What does an umpire do on his
day off? Does he sneak off Into the
woods bv himself ana engage in
little elf pity concerning his lot?
Not so. At least there is one member
of the hardy profession who doesn t
He la Frisco Edwards of the Western
International league. "Frisco" had
an off 'day Sunday and came to
Salem for a visit with Mrs. Edwards.
But before the day was over Frisco
had a front seat in the Albany park
watching the Oaks and the Portland
Babes engage In State league
game. Wouldn't be a bit surprised
that Edwards enjoyed whatever rib'
bing the umps at the Albany game
had to absorb during the afternoon
Messrs Weisgerber and Elliott
surely realize by this time that
there la something to "working"
a baseball game besides calling
balls and strikes and making a
decision on a close play at first
now and then. A thorough know
ledge of the rules Is certainly
Important and it might not be
a bad Idea to put the budding
umpires through a course of In
struction (If anybody can be
found who knows more about it
than they do, to act as Instruct
ors). The play which drew last
night's protest from the Eagles
was obvious to spectators and
players alike, Insofar as the act
itself was concerned. Playing
over half of the scheduled games
might result In building up the
bank account but such a pro
cedure most assuredly would
not be conducive to sweet tem
pers. Might be a good Idea to let the
protested games ride a bit and then
have a "protest night" when every
body would get everything off his
chest. All games could be re-played
and settled provided additional pro
tests weTe not lodged with Mr. Ma
ple and his associates; the fans could
hurl their choicest compliments at
the umpires and maybe a pop bottle
or two. With the mill race close at
hand It would be an easy matter to
cool off any fan or player who be
came too hot. Some plan could be
worked out whereby a portion of
the receipts could go toward estab
lishing a fund for umpires who per
haps would break down under the
strain of trying to think.
Well, the die Is east, the fat la
In the fire or whatever you want
to term it Hank McLemore, the
porta prognostlcator who bears
the reputation of never having
picked anything light, comes
right out and nominates Max
Srhmellng to beat Joe Louis
Wednesday night. Therefore we
stlrk with our original guess
(that's the right word) the ne
gro to retain his heavyweight
title. However, the situation Is
rather complicated In view of
the fact that 60 pereent of the
"experts" are baking Louis. That
large a number of guessers never
has been on the right side and
there Is the faint suspicion they
haven't Improved In recent
months. Then, too, McLemore
can't go on forever calling them
wrong; he's bound to hit It soon
er or later. (The above mlrht be
considered a neat bit of hedging).
Dudley Lee finally got the sack
Inability to get hits is the reason for
the release of the Portland lnfielder
who has been a popular player with
the Beaver fans. But baseball is a
business and if you can't produce
Lees admirers wish him better luck
with other connections.

New York. June 31 m Max
Schmeling, bronied and ready after
five weeks of hard training In the
mountains, comes Into town today
for the crucial fight of his long ca
reer, tomorrow night's lS-round tus
sle with heavyweight champion Joe
Louis at the Yankee stadium.
It will be a far different entry from
that of two years ago when the Ger
man schlager came In for his first
bout with the wonder negro. The
fight experts on that occasion
thought they heard the tumbrils
rolling through the streets, and the
odds were 6-to-l and up that
Schmeling was a goner.
This time he comes as the proud,
confident conqueror, certain that by
midnight tomorrow he will be hailed
to the four corners of the earth as
the first man ever to regain the hea
vyweight title. He knocked the young
negro out in the 12th round of their
first meeting, and he means to do It
again before an expected throng of
75,000, and a (900.000 "house."
Again the weight of expett opinion
is against the 32-year old German,
but only In a slight degree by com
parison with the 1938 fight, when
Max was almost alone in predicting
his victory.
Schmeling is making the five-hour
trip from Speculator by automobile
and train, arriving here at 10 to
night.
Louis, unless he changes his plans,
will not motor In from Pompton
Lakes until he goes to the commis
sion office for the official weigh-In
at noon tomorrow. He has done no
active training since his final spar
ring session last Sunday.
For once, there are no reports that
either fighter has Injured a hand in
training, or Is in any way off his
feed. Dr. William Walker of the box
ing commission, has pronounced the
pair In perfect condition, and he
doubtless will renew his pledge at
tomorrows ceremonies.
Gamblers still are offering at
tractive odds. That is, they will pay
$9 against your 15 if you fancy
Schmeling. If, however, you like
Louis, then it becomes necessary to
post $10 to win by a knockout, as a
surprising number of experts do,

Hard Lack Lou Fette
Loses' 13 Frame Battle
(Br tht Associated Press)
If you look far enough down in the National league
pitching records, you'll find the name of Lou Fette of the Bos
ton Bees, and figures to show he has won only one game and
lost eight. Right beside the namew
you can Imagine a big black Jinx.
Lou was one of those oldsters who
won 20 games for a second-division
Boston club last year. This season
he has been making up for that
surprising showing by getting all the
bad breaks.
In the normal course of events.
Fette would have had a victory yes

have returned to third place In the
standing.
The Reds were officially moved
ahead of Chicago's Cubs yesterday
when league president Ford Frlck
altered his original ruling on the
protested game against St. Louis
May 14. Instead of letting the game
stand as a Cardinal victory until It
is replayed In August, Frlck decided
to call It a tie game for record pur
poses and thus Cincinnati moved a
few points ahead of Chicago In the
percentages.
The Reds remained there when
Ival Goodman's triple off Johnny
Lannlng, Fette's successor, broke up
yesterday's game. The Cubs, mean
time, were knocking off the Brook
lyn Dodgers 6-1 behind Bill Lee's
seven-hit flinging to keep pace. The
only other game yesterday returned
the New York Yankees to second In
the American league by a three
point margin over the Boston Red
Sox as they conquered St. Louis 8-4
In the replay of Sunday's tie.
Although Fette wasn't charged
with yesterday's loss, the game was
a fine sample of the sort of thing
that has been happening to him. In
the nine Innings Lou pitched, he
gave only five hits and one walk,
but that pass cost him the victory.
Lonnie Frey drew It, took third on
an error by Debs Garms and scored
after Goodman's fly.
Lipscomb and
Becker Clash
There has been quite an effort
made In recent days to build up
a real feud between George Beck
er, one of the claimants of the
many middleweight championships,
and Jack Lipscomb, who will square
away for tonight's main wrestling
event at the armory. As a conse
quence, the match may be expected
to be as torrid as the prevailing
weather. Lipscomb knows all of the
tricks of a first class grappling
showman, while Becker is just as
proficient in the art of causing the
fans' blood pressure to mount to
the bursting point.
The support card for tonight's
entertainment Is considered top
notch, with Gordon Schaeffer of
Kentucky and George Wagner com
ing together In the 45-mlnute spe
cial event. The curtain raiser at
8:30 features Sailor Moran and
