A SHORT whll. ago, we were
** roaming the Cleveland land-
scape with a pretty fair old-timer.
He was, and li, the Gray Eagle—
only a trifle gray-
er than
to be. The nnme
K '■ Speaker — the
Rv kid who came up
from Hubbard
City, Tex., near-
lO-kilB! ly 40 year* ®s°
j *° become one of
time, both a« an
out-flelding hawk
and a hitter, a
hitter good enough to keep Ty Cobb
from leading the league 13 consecu-
tive yean.
Trig Speaker won or saved many
a ball game with his brilliant field-
ing and his hard hitting. But he will-
ingly agrees that when it comes to
a winning percentage, the star
pitcher is the winning factor.
"Walter Johnson," Speaker
said, "won 20 or more games a
year over a period of 10 consecu-
tive years with a club that with-
out him probably would have
been mired In the aecond divi-
sion. His average was about
204 or maybe 300 per cent
above his tram's average.
Washington without Johnson
was a pushover. Washington
with Johnson pitching was hard-
er to beat than any team in
the league. Including the Athlet-
ics, Tigers or the Red Sox. It'a
the same, today, when Newbous-
er, Feller and Chandler are
working.
"The Red Sox also have great
pitchers, but they have a great team
to back them up. What makes them
so strong, at this point anyway, is
that in addition to a fine ball club
they also have the pitching. That
makes it tough for any challenger.
Great pitchers such as Ed Walsh,
Nick Altrock and Doc White have
carried weak-hitting teams to a
pennant and a world’s champion-
ship, as this trio did in 1906, but no
set of hitters and fielders ever have
carried weak pitchers anywhere out
of the second division.”
All that is needed is to look over
the individual pitching averages of
Hal Newhouser of the Tigers, Bob
Feller of the Indians and Spud
Chandler of the Yankees and com-
pare them with the averages of their
teams in the standing of the clubs.
These three men have kept on win-
ning in spite of weak batting sup-
port at times.
You've heard more than a little
about the famous Gas House gang
of St. Louis around 1934. They had
their full share of good ball-players,
but it was Dizzy Dean who pitched
them into a pennant — without Dizzy
they would have finished six or eight
games away, possibly more.

MIGHTY ATOM . . . The grim secret and the revelation of the horrify-
ing effects of radioactivity following the atom bombing of Japan was
given the world here by a man of science who saw it. He is Col. Paul D.
Keller, 98th division surgeon stationed at Osaka. He asserted Jap sci-
entists knew the "how" of the atom bomb but could not put it to work.
The above picture, furnished by Colonel Keller, shows the twisted re-
mains of a railroad right-of-way In the bombed area.

Next Title Bout
In the wake «of the Louls-Conn
championship fight It is only natural
that the new gossip should concern
the next title contest. It was gen-
erally understood that if Louis re-
tained his title his next fight would
be against the winner of the Tami
Maurlcllo - Jersey Joe Walcott elim-
ination contest. If Conn won there
was to be a repeat engagement,
meaning the best two out of three.
Louts will have to have a Sep-
tember match for several reasons.
One is need of money to pay his
taxes and to square his account with
Mike Jacobs. Another is that Joe
Isn’t getting any younger and the
years have begun to take their
toll. He still can pick up another
$90,000 net profit In a second fight.
Outside of Conn and Louis, the
heavyweight picture has been
shy of talent for some time.
Now Conn is definitely out.
Promoter Mike Jacobs has been
trying to get a real challenger
ready for the last three years,
but the supply has been ex-
tremely thin. Lee Oma kicked
himself out of the picture with
his terrible showing against Jer-
sey Joe Walcott. Oma set an
all-time record for wrecking a
show, for refusing to make any
part of a fight. You can throw
Oma out of any heavyweight
picture that means anything.
Jersey Joe Walcott may not be
much of a heavyweight, as far as
champions go, and the same can be
said of Tami Mauriello. Still they
seem to be the only ones left who
have shown anything worth looking
at — and neither has shown too
much. A Mnurlello-Walcott meet-
ing might be no part of a thriller—
It doesn't figure to be—but at least
It would be a clash between the two
heavyweights who might slip Into
the spotlight In the wake of Louis
and Conn.
Financially, the sooner such a
fight Is scheduled, perhaps the bet-
ter. There has been an abnormal
amount of loose money around.
The amazing thing is that during
the five years intervening between
the first and second Louis - Conn
parties, no other heavyweight has
been developed who has any class.
One might think that over a five-
year period, during which so much
boxing was taught In the army and
navy, some challenger would have
been found. So far this is only an
Idle dream. Up to dote no such
animal bos been developed.
