With one of the top crowds of the year present at Fontenelle park Sunday, the Brown Parks put on a good show, the Cudahy Rex a bad one. The final score of the first playoff game between the two league winners in the Omaha Amateur Baseball association was 19 -4 for the Browns. You can write your own esti mate of the size of the crowd; it must have been near 10 thousand. The day was sultry enough for good ball, but there was none in the Cudahy team. Lad “The Zephyr” Kozeny walk ed on four straight pitches, then Joe Wurth hit. a long home run to give the Browns a 2-0 lead as the game opened. The Browns got two more runs in the inning, and from then on out the Ak-Sar-Ben league champions coudn’t or wouldn’t field a thing. t-.au ixlers in I vox For some reason Managper G C. Currie of the Rex chose to start Saunders, who pitched little dur ing the regular season. Saunder wasn’t the man for the task. Rosy Walker came on in the second, but t>he Browns’ momentum swept him aside in favor of Wright. Another thing hard to under stand was the 0. A. B. A. officials’ reason in allowing tihe Browns’ extra players for a leisurely series. With three pitchers present, the Browns were given Bill Talbitzer to hurl, Joe Neimic for second base. The Rex, being the only Negro team in town, had no spot from where to draw added talent. “It’s an old custom in the city series,” explained Manager Frank Cerveny of the Browns. Wnrth Leads Attack Eddie Stanek, who pitched the Browtns to the pennant in the Community (which is rated the fastest in town), was playing out field and first base. He’s too busy with the Southwest Iowa tourna ment and the state softball tour nament (Eddie plays with the Oudahys) to pitch in the 0. A. B. A. playoff. Georgpe Janousek sat on the bench. So did Lefty Spur lock. So did Frank Vankat. Cudahy Rex ab. r.

Why all this fuss because Joe j Louis failed to knock out Tommy I Farr of England in 15 rounds at I Yankee stadium a week ago Mon- ( day night? It seems t* me the best thing that could have happened because: (l) It shows the champion is able to step ]5 fast round against a foe who constantly carries the fight to him, when a lot of boys thought the Brown Bomber incap able of lasting that distance at top speed; (2) proves Joe is ine mosi skilful boxer in heavyweight ranks today. Before the bout, Farr was painted as the ablest boxer exist ing, with the best left hand in the business. Louis bested the Welsh man at his own game that of jab bing and blocking. (3) It insures big gates at fu ture fights and places another strong contender alongside Max Schmeling. Now that the experts have been proven wrong again, the public will discount their claims that an an opponent hasn’t got a chance and will pay at the gate to see a bout which might bring into existence a new world champion. There are plenty who are sorry now they didn’t take in the Farr Louis fight. I confess being extremely amus ed at the chargined white sports writers who saw another of their predictions go astray. The boys went way out on the limb, saying the Welshman would be carried out in five rounds and since it did n’t happen, they are trying to take their spite out on Brother Joe.

Time— 2:4!L__ since, of their own own volition, they painted Tx>uis as a super mankiller and made him today's greatest drawing caiu, they there fore have the same right to tear him down. Maybe he champion had an ofi night. After all, Jesse Owens was called the world’s fastest human, but he was out run a few times by Eulace Peacock: Minnesota’s mighty football team had a bad day last fall and Northwestern won during the cross count ry tennis show last winter Fred Perry won one night and Ellsworth Vines the next. In other words, no mere hu man can be sensational every time out. And if you’re the least bit su perstitious, you may recall the Ccb meling bout was postponed and Joe’s foe pulled a surprise; the Farr fray was moved beck and again the opponent amazed them all. • here is no ,'ea» r<;.»: !» why a „)■ liter should be expected to knock out every foe he fares. To repeat barbershop talk, they're lioth meat men. Everybody agreed Farr was practically as tough as a stone lion; if Joe gave him his Sunday punch and Tommv stood up, it’s no reflection on tfhe kick in the Louis mitts for the champion has laid horizontal many pugs who never before knew w*hat it was tc hit the canvas. I can’t forget that on Jack Dempsey, called by some experts the greatest of them all, couldn’t begin to flatten Tommy Gibbons in 15 rounds. This same Dempsey won seven fights in decisions, had four draws and lost four decisions. James Jeffries, another of the real greats, had to be content with a decision in seven figihts and got a draw in two. And Jack Johnson won decisions 35 times, fought five draw and lost five verdicts- What has Joe got to be ashamed of? Furthermore, rentention of the crown should be worth a couple of million dollars more to Joe- He has' the title; his opponents don’t Why should he take unnecessary chances wfrien he can keep the diadem pure Chocolate Victor In Comeback Campaign Havana, Sept. 9—Kid Chocolate, Cuban featherweight, brought his comeback campaign to the home folks Sunday and outpointed Phil Baker, Norwalk, Conn., in a 10 round bout. Chocolate weighed 125%, Baker 134. The bout was the feature one of a show arranged as part of the celebration of the fourtih anniver sary of Colonel Fulgencio Batista’s revolution. -- " -■ -~i v REPEATING HIS OWN HISTORY. iClIO) MACHINE GUM LEFTS ARe PlSfjF, IN THE HEADLINES WITH THE JAPAM~CH/A/A WAR,. ,~ WITH L<S STRAIGHT I//C TORIES OH THE COME HACK TRAlC * HES MORE SERiCUS THAH WHEPHE WAS MAILSp T#E GRBAf&t _ __ __ ©Li?37 IWTERiiATIOMAI. il3?P.O 7T1TC8 LOOKtN'EM FARRS face WASNT FARR ENOUGH AMY PROA) JOf!s LEFT T 9 v x - , OV£*_..... d/mptov t Joe louts GAVE TOMMY FARR A LACING.

First announcements of the match said tihe fight would take place next June, but this was be lieved a move to pop up the lag ging sale of tickets for the Louis Farr bout. That bout was postpon ed on account of rain from August 2fitih to August 30th, giving the British champion a reprieve of four days. Schmeling arrived from Ger many last week to press Ihls de mands for a bout with ^uis. Joe has expressed his willingness to meet him as soon as arrangements can be made. ly by using skill and caution? He is also the first champion to risk his title so soon after winning it, and the first since 1932 not to lose the crwon in his first defense of it. Louis is not to be condemned, but Farr is tx> be praised for the bout. And I go on record now as saying that if Schmeling can ever be lured into the same ring with the Welsh man, my pennies will lie against the German. Max has only one gun a right hand, and Tommy's fights with Bear and Louis show it is al most impossible to sock him with that weapon. He’d decisively out point Schmeling if they ever met, and nobody knows this better than does Herr Maxie. That's why the Teuton will dodge boxing Farr if at all possible, and try to cover up his actions by saying he’ll fight Louis or nobody.
