New Heavyweight Champ Is
Cross-Section of Devoted
Bulldog Type-Lager Beer
His Favorite Beverage
By EDWAHD J. 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. Braddock came
along to watch. There was only one
caddy available. Jimmy never Imi
tated.
Til lug your sticks." he aald.
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.

The situation was really laughable,
and the Troehs stayed and watched
until the whole group wandered Into
the woods, the mother bear proudly
leading the way and the little balls
of fur wobbling Importantly after her.
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.
The bears at the park are perfectly
tame and harmless If unmolested,
those familiar with them at the park
have stated, but It is never safe to
alarm or frighten them suddenly in
any way. Neither Is It safe to ap-

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-

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.
