Air Raid Study
On Cub Program
liBWB ipjHHMP
—In .a few days there will ap-
pear on the shelves of your-
neighborhood book store a new
volume bearing a blue and white
jacket and the title, “Lou Geh-
rig, the quiet hero.” If you neg-
lect to buy It and read It you
miss something that Is clean and
fine and brave.
It is not an ordinary sport
book. It is not concerned with
technicalities, it contains no
errors and it doesn’t drip with
the usual hokum. It is a simple
story told by one of the few
men who possess the perspec-
tive and the talents to tell it
in the manner in which it was
lived.
The author is Frank Graham,
and that should he recommen-
dation enough. Frank Graham is
snorts columnist of the New
York Sun, a craftsman who
knows his business of writing
and a reDortcr who never has
consciously colored a fact. He
knows and loves sports as he
knew and loved Lou Gehrig.
Because Graham is the type of
man he is, he has given us a
memorial worthy of its subject.
The book is bare of histrionics,
of embellishments and of
groundless dramatic overtones.
The story of Lou Gehrig need-
ed no such fictionizing and Gra,
ham realized that
It is a book which rises above
the limitations of age, sex and
the other factors which control
popular appeal. It is as much a
book for a woman of 25* as for a
boy of 10 or a man of 60. That
! is because the qualities which
Gehrig epitomized know no
bounds and never grow out of
style.
The Gehrig story is familiar
and already anecdotes of the big,
personable first baseman have
been woven into the tapestry
of our folk lore. It is the story
of an honest and. gracious boy
wfid somehow retained his home-
ly virtlies in the face of fame
and riches and adulation.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 25— (UP)
—Bob Pastor, New York’s mer-
curial mauler, Is back on the
fistic heights today, officially
recognized as the .world’s No. 2
heavyweight contender by vir-
tue of his brilliant knockout of
Cleveland’s coffee-colored Lem
Franklin.
Fred Sady of Milwaukee, chair-
man of the National Boxing as-
sociation’s rating committee, an-
nounced the No. 2 designation
after the 10-count ended over
Franklin in the eighth round
last night before a crowd of 13,-
278 fans—a record indoor Cle-
veland sports crowd that estab-
lished a new indoor gate fig-
ure of $52,457.
Only Billy Conn now stands
between black-haired, fair-skin-
ned Pastor and a third tilt with
Champion Joe Louis.
Pastor not only upset the 13-
5 betting odds, but actually belt-
ed out the big, broad-shouldered
Negro who was supposed to win
in an early round.
It was the first full-count kayo
ever registered against Frank-
lin. who outweighed the New
York veteran 197 1-2 pounds to
181. and who entered the ring
riding a string of 19 straight
victories, including 17 kayoes.
Referee Joe Sedley counted
,„uut Friink.lin_at-2:U8-of the-eigh-
th round after Pastor had given
a memorable demonstration of
the superiority of boxing skill
over the sheer power of a slug-
ger.
Franklin, who had knocked
out Tony Musto and big Abe
Simon in less time than it took
Joe Louis, seemed destined to
turn the same trick on Pastor
in tile first two rounds when he
exploded thundering punches on
the smaller man’s head and bo-
dy. Pastor went to the canvas
once in the second round.

section.
