Saturday, March 26, 1938 {Echoes of Sports By HUSTER LAWSOU It looks as if Old Msn Kenosaw Mountain Landis is about to crack down on Branch Rickey. As you know Landis is high commissioner _of organized baseball and is gen* tralty kllTJUTi' the Ozar, that 'Ts what Rickey calls the judge. Any way Judge Landis is thinking about letting about one hundred ball players go as fr^e agents. If he does poor Rickey will be the loser. The high judge declares that the Cardinals have violated ^one of the strickest rules in base- j call, which says that no major league club may have a working or trading agreement with two elubs in the same minor league.1 HW -_rr_ *- - ine question is will Mr. Land iscrack down on "Boss" Rickey oV will the high commissioner ease the hammer down? All eyes are waiting to see. There are five former Duke baseji ball players trying out with the' ~ fhell? plltyirg Athletics. Among) Ace Parker. Parker is used as a utility man around the-Athletics camp. t? **Oae' Walker formerly?of ,th"Detroit Tigers is expected to add the final touch to the slugging de-J partment at the White Sox's camp ^(walker announced that he will make it tough for Mickey Cochrane and the third base-less Tigers. Jack Doyle is at it again. Old Jack "picked the Yanks to repeat and divide the National Tif ague honors for top place with the Giants and the Cubs. How he is replacing Toney Lazzeri? I don't, know, but so far Mr. Doyle has been the top9 hv picking what happens in the future. Bob Feller, "School-boy" Rowe? A question mark is forever behind these two lads names. If Feller can come through Cleveland will *t>e a big problem for the Yapks and the Tigers. While on the make the Yanks hustle". I only " Hope the question mark is. removed favorably for both clubs. I ~ i Mp. Harry Thomas has just about talked himself through the canvas. For the last week or two he has been reminding the boxing world of a particular event. That event is that he, Thomas, knocked Champion-Joe Louis down in a sparring engagement out on the jcoast. Harry is saying that he can repeat what he has done. Stating further that Louis is rot ible to fight when someone hurts him. _?This maybe true?but -why? many fighters sign their death! warrant/before death comes? Some' how all fighters seem to like to smell the smelling salt of Mr. Louis. Even old Max Baer is ask 4ng for more, and to my opinion Baer snould be the last poison to want anymore of Louis, I am still trying to figure out if he really moans what he says.
