Veeck Pulls Everything
But Score Out of Hat
St. Louis, Aug 21 (U.B
What next, Bill Veeck?
After pulling a midget out
of a birthday cake to pinch
hit, shooting off aerial bombs,
organizing an eight - piece
piece band out of his players,
and putting acrobats on all
the bases, there wasn't much
left for the new St. Louis
Browns' owner to surprise
folks with today.
The curly-haired Veeck did
all that, and then some, yes
terday In a weird, laugh
jammed celebration of the
American league's 50th anni
versary. Things got so hilarious
that the largest Sportsmans
park crowd of the season
18,396 fans hardly minded
that the Browns lost both
games of a doubleheader to
the Tigers, 5 to 2, and 6 to 2.
While the aerial bombs ex
ploded at regular Intervals
between the games, the eight
piece band played at homo
plate, a hand-balancer per
formed at first base. Trampo
line artists leaped through
their act at second and a jug
gler worked at third, and old
fashioned cars and cycles
were paraded. Max Patkin,
the comedian - contortionist
coach, staged a jlttcr-bug
dance.
A huge, seven-foot birth
day cake was carried onto the
field as the band played "Hap
py Birthday." Out of the cake
popped a three foot-seven
Inch midget decked out In a
Browns' uniform with the
fraction "" on his back.
He was introduced as the
last of the real "Brownies"
and presented to Manager
Znck Taylor.
Taylor made immediate use
of the midget, sending him up
to the plato as a plnch-hltter
for lead-off man Frank San
der in the first inning of the
second game. As ho strutted

New ork, Aug. 21 U.R)Just
when they were needed most,
the Cleveland Indians' long-silent
bats began thundering to
day in a drive to break up the
American league pennant race.
That's what manager Al Lo
pez has been praying for a long
time now that the Tribe hit
ters would start to carry their
share of the pennant load along
with the "big four" pitching
staff of Bob Feller, Mike Garcia,
Early Wynn, and Bob Lemon.
Until now, the Cleveland
story has been a pitching
story, for the Tribe ranks only
as the sixth best hitting team
in the loop.
But last night the Indians
opened an 18-game home
stand that they regard as the
"golden opportunity" to take
charge of the pennant chase.
Lopez and Co. figure that they
have a chance to open a com

Maxim Eager
Title and His
By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Press Sports Writer)
Summit, N. J., Aug. 21 U.K
Light heavyweight champion
Joey Maxim was grimly eager
today for the Wednesday night
bout in which he'll defend both
ills title and his self esteem.
This," explained the hand
some boxing master from Cleve
land as he wound up training
for his title defense against
mauling Bob Murphy, "is the
key fight of my career."
For the first time, Joey is aim
ing at a knockout. And he has
picked himself a real tough
cooklo in Murphy, favored of the
blood-thirsty gallery gods.
There are two reasons for
Maxim's about face. First, al
though he is only 29, age al
ready Is robbing him of those
once-lightning reflexes. Second,
his May loss to Ezzard Charles
when Joey blew his shot at the
heavyweight crown.
Until then, Joey had been
fairly content. You can't be
completely satisfied when box
ing is your trade and you are
known ns a "fancy Dan," a swift
stepping artful craftsman but a
"powder puff puncher.
Giuseppe Berardlnelli, which
is Maxim's real name, was born
in Cleveland and all he ever
wanted to do was to be a boxer.
He started at 12 and at 17 won
the Golden Gloves middleweight
championship. At 19 he turned
professional and then had his
clouting coroer checked by a
three-year hitch in the army.
Back In the ring, he fought
often. His chief stock in trade
was a rapled-like loft jab and
a pair of limber lens. Eventually

BUI B evens will attempt to

record, and the fans themselves
will try for another all-time

Sevens will be shooting lor his

to break the record. .
That figure might well be

Johnny Price, undisputedly the
greatest acrobat in baseball his
tory, scheduled to perform his
bag of tricks prior to the game.
The Price act gets underway
at 8 o'clock. In previous appear

the light heavyweight crown
from the Britisher.
Maxim was happy then, but
still not completely satisfied.
When you get that close In the
fight racket you want the big
one, the heavyweight crown. So
he got his shot at it, against
Charles, and failed.
Since then the barbs tossed
at his punching ability have
started stinging. And Joey ad
mits that he has reached the
age where he can't much longer
be a "fancy Dan" and stay at
the top.
"At 29, I can't expect to keep
up the fast pace I did once,"
Maxim admitted. "So I've start
ed to change my style. I still
have a good defense, but rve got
to do some punching and
punch pretty good.
"I have to convince myself
I can do it," he said, and added,
significantly, "as well as con
vince everybody else."
Always an exceptional de
fensive boxer, aside from a
slightly flattened nose Maxim
carries virtually no marks of
his many bouts. But the marks
are on the inside.
Joey hasn't yet given up the
Idea that he still can win the
heavyweight title. He's proud of
his boxing ability but he detests
the appellation "Fancy Dan."
So he is out to keep himself
front and center in the popular
pursuit of old Jersey Joe Wal
cott, whose days as heavyweight
king are numbered by his years.
And Maxim also wants the
crowd in his corner if he gets
the big shot once again. That's
why he'll turn puncher against
Murphy at Madison Square Gar

Matthews Tangles
With Basora in
Portland Aug. 22
Portland, Aug. 21 W) Harry
"Kid" Matthews tonight will try
to add Jese Basora to a long list
of boxing victims including Irish
Bob Murphy, Joey Maxim's foe
in tomorrow night's light heavy
weight title fight in New York.
Matthews, 28, of Seattle and
Emmett, Ida., and Basora, a
Puerto Rican from New York,
are billed in a National Boxing
Club 10-round main event.
Matthews will be after his
seventh straight knockout since
a decision over Murphy in Madi
son Square Garden last March.
Later charges by Jack Hurley,
Matthews' manager, led to de
mands by three senators for a
congressional investigation of the
International Boxing Club,
which signed Murphy instead of
Matthews for the bout with
Maxim.
Basora comes to the northwest
with a record of 83 wins, in
cluding 44 knockouts, in 103
fights.
