Traveling Team Expected to
Give Locals Tough Work
out Big Turnout Ex-
. pected to Eye Youngsters
Baseball fans who love to aee a ball
burled to fast that It seems to quiver
as It slams over the plate will have
their ohance tonight when John Mll
Jus, huge Serbian conch of the Mcd
lord Baseball school, takes the mound
at 6 o'clock against the travelling
Convicts club. For 21 years "Jovo"
unleashed his thunderbolt against
auch greats u Ruth, Mousel, Gehrig
and tho rest, and the steam .:tlll re
mains on the apple. Since the star
has not been pitching this year he
will not remain In the game long, but
those who have seen him whistle
them over in practice know the stuff
Is still there.
The game Is expected to be one of
the best here this year, and a big
crowd is anticipated. The high school
field Is In good condition. The Con
victs are mostly young men, and
come here with a long string of vic
tories. They play In striped suits, and
claim to be able to make a baseball
behave as though trained.
The traveling club has a wealth of
good pitchers. Including Merle John
son, southpaw; Walter shearer, right
bander; Al Crowthers, right-handed
chucker who bats left; John Whit
man, right-handed curve bailer, and
Joe Merrltt, southpaw. In a recent
game against Longvlew, Wash, team,
Merrltt hurled a two-hit game aa the
Convicts walloped the northerners
10-2.
Moat of the Convicts have their eye
trained on Coast loague Jobs, and ac
cording to Al Perry, club manager,
most of them have bright futures In
the game. Many of them are heavy
Jiltters, even against fast pitching,
and Interest la strong as to whether
they'll be able to touch MIIJus.

Craft Says Owens Tops
With Germany's Citizens
By BOY CRAFT
Mall Tribune Correspondent at Large.
BERLIN. Germany. August B.lSpl.) Jesse Owens, America's perfect
track machine, has been the biggest thrill In the Olympic Games to date.
as everybody In America already Knows.
I promised to send dick Appiegaw
something about sporta while I waa
here, so the above Is It. You've already
read all about the games In The Mall
Tribune, so there's no use of me
running over the events again, but
It Is worth mentioning that owens
Is the most effortless performer we've
ever seen In action, and probably
comes the closest to hypothetlcsl p
fectlon possible for a human being.
The Germans have taken Jess to
their hearts and the newspapers are
full of Owens pictures and owens
stories. The pictures, fortunately, are
in English but the writing Is all In
German and we can only guess at the
laudatory phrases heaped upon om
big dark performer.
tvi maather durlnz the first four
days of the games has been very bad.
This Is being written on the fifth
day and I have Just S minutes to get
this In the mall that win go j no
York on the Zeppelin Hlndenburg
this afternoon. We saw the Hlnden
burg on opening day, by the way. as
It circled over Berlin and over the
stadium several times, during me
afternoon.
Th Germans have been making n
real showing In the Olympics for the
first time since 1800, so the fir- sre
turnlni out en masse every afternoon.
There hssn't been an empty seat In
the stadium yet and from what i
hear, the ttadlum is sold out every
dav. In Los Angeles In 1832, only the
lg days drsw capacity crowds, but
every day Is a nig aay nere. aim
haa been out every afternoon. The
sailors stay there es-h day and when
the stadium gets word mat Miner
Is coming, his personal flag is run
up. He caught tnem iiat-ioovea uu
day though and got In before tbey
found out he was coming and there
was quite a scramble getting his floe
hoisted.
The crowd still goes wild every time
he arrives and gives Mm many
Hells" and the outstretched nana
business. That Is a very effective ges
ture, by the way, and Is used at each
victory coremony. Whenever a flag
goes up, whether' It's the American
French or German, tne wnoio
crowd stands with right arms out
stretched towards the flag. When It's
the Oerman flag that goes up and
the Oerman anthems are played, they
all pitch In and sing, and lOO.ooo
voices singing their deep, throaty
hymns can give you quite a thrill.
A bunch of us Americans wciuca
the "Star-Spangled Banner" the other
day. but we were pretty weak. Besides
not knowing the words, most oi inem
oouldn't get up that high, and it was
my clear, fine tenor, ringing out over
the stadium that pardon me, my
conscience has lust cracked me back
of the ear and I can't go on. Anyway,
we have decided to let the band get
along without us after this.

They've mode Detroit's Joe Louis a

their ten-round bout at the Yankee
Stadium tonight.
But the experts who have fixed
those odds or agreed that they are

There la the possibility that the
brown bomber may be a bit "punch
shy" after the beating he took at Max
Schmellng'a hands last spring.
With the top price the lowest it

SPINE CRACKERS
A big crowd saw some of tho most
wildly exciting wrestling matches:
ever seen here last night, with two!
opening matches of such blazing fury
that they tamed by comparison what
would have ordlnarllly been consid
ered a fast main event.
Not that the main event could be
considered tame. George Craig, the
Tulsa Blacksmith, forged a name for
himself in that match with Bob
Montgomery, although losing tho
scuffle to two straight Boston crabs.
Tho blacksmith took the first fall in
11 minutes with, an anvil flip, a giz
zard Jarring experience that took the
eyo of the ' crowd. It started as a
straight body lift, and when Mont
gomery came down Craig flipped him
over In a tight flying mare. Pour
were enough for tho fall.
Cherokee Ike, roughhouslng Indian,
had much of tho roughness removed
In the middle event by Joe Hubka,
blonde giant who retaliated to the
Indian's dirt with such enthusiasm
that fans had difficulty In keeping
their peepers focused on the two as
Hubka took the match In straight
falls. In the first round, which saw
no falls, the Indian bit Hubka's
finger several times, possibly under
the Impression It was dust. Angered,
the ex-footballer from Nebraska
heaved him over the top rope onto
the small of his back on the edge of
the apron, and then when Ike lined
himself up for a slingshot back Into
the arena, helped him considerably
by raring back on the top rope.
Cherokee Ike returned to the ring Im
mediately, In a high arc. landing on
his back In the middle 'of the ring.
Three son nen bergs and a somersault
bottoms-up scissors gave Hubka the
firm fall In the second round. Referee
Prlsble stopped the match at the start
of the third when the glassy-eyed
Indian couldnt stand up. -

match came when Glover tried to
