WKESTLING
“Something new was added”
when Joe Dusek, Nebraska
“rassler” and Orville “Bad
Boy” Brown tangled at Kansas
City last week in that the
strangle hold was the only hold
barred. Some naive promotor
must have thought that the
phonies might hurt each other,
and thereby further complicate
the manpower situation. How-
ever. if Joe is anywhere as
rough as his older brothers
were and they specialized in
nothing but wide open tactics,
said restriction was probably
necessary.
IÍOCKEY
Cleveland, Ohio.—A record
mob of 12,171 howling hockey
fans witnessed the Barons in a
tie game with Buffalo in the
Ameriean Hockey League at
the Arena.
BOWLING
Bowling instructors contend
that failure to master the back
swing is the real reason for
many low scores. The peak of
the backswing should be reach-
ed on the next to last step of
the delivery, and the ball comes
forward as the last step is tak-
en on the left foot. Moreover,
the back of the hand should be
up, thus avoiding twisting the
wrist and a consequent strain
on the hand during the deli-
very. It might be mentioned
that there is no more effective
way to clear out the spectators
in a bowling alley than to have
the bowler let the ball sail out
of his hand in the wrong di-
rection in the midst of a high-
powered backswing.
BASEBALL
Lou Boudreau, manager of
Cleveland’s entry in the Ame-
rican League, says “The Indi-
ans are the team to beat.” You
are not kiddink, Lou!’ At least,
the other teams in the league
seem to do just that more oft-
en than not. Each spring the
Indians stack up on paper as
the strongest team in the Loop
and then crack wide open at
the seams in the heat of the
pennant race, accordingly be-
coming fully occupied in keep-
ing out of the second division.

a decade ago may return to the
Tribe. Joe’s legs were suppos-
edly washed up a few years
back when he slipped out of the
majors, but perhaps he has dis-
covered the Fountain cf Youth

ched for so vainly in centuries
past .... Cullenbine, acquired
from the Yanks in the Weat-
herly trade, is slated for right

BOXING

er, student of boxing styles, and
manager of several champions,
America
Says....
A crack German pilot was
captured in a fox-hole in
which he had taken refuge aft

ace in the hole for us — and
one Iess for Rommel.
maintains that John L. SuIIi-
van, “the Boston Strong Boy”
would have beaten Joe Louis
or any other modern chámpion
of the past few decades. John
L. was the alleged originator of
the well-known statement “I
can lick anybody at the bar,”
which statement has also be-
come the famous last words of
so many who have tried to copy
the old boy, in speech at least.
The only difference was that
Sullivan could always back up
his words.......He was a fnir
ly good boxer, terrifically
strong, a bull-like aggressor, a
mauling wrestler, and a most
powerful puncher. Johnston con
tends that the ruggedness of

John L. would be far too much
for the admitted skill, and
hard-hitting abiliíy of Louis,
and as he has seen them all
come and go he probably
knows whereof he speaks. Sul-

the most colorful and scintil-
lating figure the ring has ever
known.
