NEII AMorlatrt Prmi Bnorta Writer. NEW YORK. June 18. (AP) What kind of fellow really Is this James J. Braddock. messenger boy. printer's devtl. longshoreman, prize fighter, now heavyweight champion of the world? Take a cross-section of all the big, even-tempered, slow-spoken, honest, faithful fnmtly men you know, that's one picture of the 20 year old Irish man who dazed the fistic world by whlDPlmr Max Bner In Madison Square Oarden's bowl on Long Island. Think of someone you know, some one with a big wide open face, clear eyes, not particularly smart but bulldog In his devotion to his wife and three youngsters, always having a tough time making a go of It. but jiever quitting and too proud to ask favors he can't repay. That's another picture of him. Always Olves Best. You can almost tell all these things Just from looking at him In a prlee ring. He has fought with broken hands, broken ribs, even a broken collar bone once, with deeply cut eyes, actually weak from the lach of nourishing food. Yet he never has failed to fight to the limit of his etrongth and ability, which hasn't been much at times, plodding slowly along, pumping with his left hand, belting with a real good right, taking any amount of punishment without .Inching. He's the faithful copy of what poli ticians like to regard as the "finest type of American citizen." unassum ing, uncomplaining. His favorite drink Is lager beer. He prefers steak to corn beef and cabbage, but he's eaten hash, and liked it, most of his life. My favorite picture of him outside of a prize ring came In the lush days of 1929, when everyone had money and Madison Square Garden's 600 millionaires, headed by Bill Carey, were trying to spend as much as possible of it by promoting a mon ster field day for the sporting people In conjunction with Jack Sharkey's heavyweight tussle with Bill amb ling. 1 1 iiri Money Then. Braddock, lean and quiet, weighing only 170 pounds, was down there with his manager, little but loud Joe Gould. They had lots of money then, Braddock some (80,000 In stocks and interests In taxi companies In New Jersey. Braddock was about to fight Tommy Lough ran for the light heavyweluht championship of the world. He was one of pugilism's big shots. Oould and I had a date to play golf one morning.

With never a thought that there was anything unusual in the picture, the prize fighter ploughed the 18 holes behind the writer, sweating around In the underbrush looking for lost balls, toting the heavy bag lie grinned but never said a word until Oould, at the 19th, reluctantly settled for his lonses. "If Joe don't give up golf I'll have to learn to fight twice a night," he sugKested. The ten year friendship of the fighter and manager nearly ended right there.

PITTSBURGH PITCHER ESCAPES APPENDICITIS PHILADELPHIA, June la. fAP) There will be no operation for ap pendicitis performed on Dnrrell (Cyj Blnnton, sensatlonnl Pittsburgh rook ie pitcher. Blanton, rushed to a hos pital yesterday, showed much im provement today. He Is expected to leave the hospital in a few days and will return to Ptttsbureh for a short rest before rejoining the team. Little did Samuel McLaughlin Parks dream that he was guiding his son. Samuel. Jr., toward the national open championship when he urged the boy to devote his spare time to golf when he finished his hlrh school athletic career. The elder Parka felt that his son waa hardly husky enough to take part in the more strenuous sports like baseball and football. And. tco. young Samuel had mown a cer tain aptitude for golf, being well above the average In his own circle. Sampel Parka, Jr., developed his game rapidly after he enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, where he not only made the varsity in 1020. '30 and '31 but captained the squad as well. His Intercollegiate career on the links waa a brilliant one for he suffered only four defeats In the three years. In 1932 Parks took over the Job of professional at the Summit Golf club of Unlontown. Pa., and the following year transferred to the South Hill County club of Pittsburgh, where he is still connected. Prior to his , amazing victory at Oakmont. over one of the greatest fields every assembled for a national open, the youthful Pittsburgh pro could boast only one tournament victory and that an unimportant one day affair over a little nine-hole Hills Country club of Pittsburgh. Only 300-Breaker. To make it further- embarrassing to the golfing experts. Parka waa the only contestant to break 3001 His total of 299 strokes for the four rounds waa two shots better than the card turned In by the lon-hltting Jimmy Thompson of Long Beach. Cal. Parks frankly admitted that he felt he enjoyed a psychological advantage over the other competitors at Oak mont because of hl familiarity with the hazards of the course. Knowing the layout well was an advantage but at the aame time of no value unless he was capable of playing his shots so as to avoid the pitfalls. The new champion's short game, particu larly around the greens, waa an Im portant factor In his victory march. Hogen Gets Glory. Wallrr Haven's magnificent bid for the open title afforded one of the big thrill at Oakmont. The veteran's hopes of winning his first United States open championship since 1919 were washed away in the rain that pelted him as he started on the final nine holes. Needing & 33 to win. he fnltered In the storm and took a 30,. to bring his total up to 302. Even so, winning third place earned the grand veteran plenty of glory. It was Hagen's fine third round that put him back In the running when appeared that he waa des tined to drop far behind with many of the other golfing great who found Onkmont's terrors too much for ttwm. Finishing in the rain. Just as he did on the final round, he banged out a par 73 after having found plenty of trouble in the sand trap and bunk ers al 011,5 the route. Time after time he saved strokes with well-nigh mir aculous recoveries. HOW THEY STAND. By New York . Pittsburgh St. Louis . Chicago Brooklyn ... the Associated Press National W.

When Troeh arrived" at the lake, however, he found a report there that showed that mama bear was not al- : ways In such a peaceful frame of j mind. A ranger stationed at the park i told him that the same mother and cubs had been seen last week by an- I other carload of tourists, who had stopped to watch the antics of the cubs. Believing the little bears look- : ed hungry, they rolled down a win- dow to oss out part of their lunch. Mrs. Bruin, eyeing this action sus- I plciously. leaped onto the side of the i car. believing she waa shielding her ; brood from harm, and clawed with j one powerful forearm through the open window, raking the arm of the driver, Troeh related. The Injury was not serious, but serves as a warning I to those who are apt to get too close i to an anxious mother bear.

Tel. 448 TWiairw-Vf" i"-rwfartrrra aa IIeAT on the inside created by friction is the main cause of blowouts. Firestone Tires arc different on the inside they are built with the patented extra process of Gum-Dipping that soaks every cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber, preventing internal friction and heat. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped. Firestone performonce records again emphasize the undisputed evidence that I'ireslone I ires are not only blowout-proof, but give greatest protection against skidding. There are three questions and answers thai will solve the problem of what tires lo buy: QUESTION 1 "Will the treed sive me the greatest traction and protection against tkicidins?" ANSWER Recent tests by a leading University show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 1 5 quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive yeors Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a skid means death. This is undisputed evidence that Firestone gives ear owners greatest protection against skidding. QUESTION 3 "Are they blowout-proof?" ANSWER Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have the rpost amazing records (or being blowout- Unlv.riilyl.ttf.ho' tone lir.f Itoo fart 5 lo tifc quick... IUnl. Fi.., IS proof ol any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, every one ol the 33 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. Not one of the 33 diivers had any tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles at 127.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high at 1 20 , without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known. QUESTION 3 "Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy7" ANSWER Firestone High Speed Tires not only give you more than 50 longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile due to the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher shoulders and a wider, flatter contour. This rugged tread is held securely to the Gum Dipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread, a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of longer wear and freater economy of Firestone High Speed ires.
