Rick Ferrell of the WasIVlngton Senators sees the new baseball adopted last month as a boon to American league pitchers. "When a ball with raised seams Is used you aren't going to find so many hurt arms." Ferrell said. "That's the trouble now. A pitcher has to throw his arm away trying to get some unnatural delivery to fool the batter. "But give him a ball he can grip and you'll see better baseball and fewer ailing arms." Ferrell predicted the Detroit Tigers would be the most Improved club in the American league this year.

BOW-AND-ARROW HUNTER HAS GONE INTO WOODS AGAIN DALLAS, Jan. Bow- and-arrow hunter Charles "Tex" Stone has gone to the woods again. Items on his list include mountain lions, bobcats, bear, javellna and 1,500 latter without benefit of arrows. Stone, expedition director for the Chicago Academy of Science, said six camps would be used to bag the specimen for Chicago Museum of Natural History. Camps will be made near Uvaldc.

Hcbrowville, on the Pccos river about 50 miles west of Del Rio, near Alice, In tho Chlsos mountains of the Big Bend near Ter- HnRua, and In tho Davis mountains near Fort Davis. The larger specimen, Stone said, will be taken with bow-and-arrow. The hunter, who disdains use of firearms, some months ago went Into the wilds of northern Mexico and bagged a jaguar which been playing havoc with livestock. Killing specimen with arrows, Stone explained, is preferable because a bullet usually leaves a ragged hole where It emerges and because the skillful use of bow-nnd-arrow will leave only one hole In the specimen whereas a bullet usually pierces the animal. Tho Chicago museum's collection of Texas anlmnls Is about 20 per cent complete "and it Is up to us to fill In he remainder" on tho 4 1-2-month expedition.

Stone snid. Quarry will include even the rare jumping mice of the Big Bend area. At thn same time, Texas animals will be photographed In their native habitats. Prints will be given to the state department of education, Stone said. Tho mounted animals will bo installed in the museum In whnt he termed "family groups" their natural setting.

CUNNINGHAM, County Auditor. ARTHUR DONOVAN INSISTS JOE LOUIS GREAT SLUGGER REFEREE SAYS MUST BE IN RING WITH BOMBER TO KNOW REAL POWER By GAYLK TALBOT NEW YORK, Jan. who wants to get tough about the suggestion that JOG Louis could have whipped Jack Dempscy when the Old Mauler wns In his prime Is Invited to take the matter up with Arthur Donovan, who rcferreed eight of the present champion's fights, Including the sorry affair of Wednesday night. Donovan, who Is a large, salty Individual and a boxing Instructor during business hours, still says unqualifiedly that the Joe Louis of today Is the greatest fighter who ever drew on a glove, and that he would have given even the Dempscy of Toledo a whaling. The general description of Donovan Is Inserted for the benefit of any too violent admirer of Dcmpscy who might think of try- ling to make Arthur swallow his words.

"I still say I know more about what Joe Louis docs to a man than anybody else because I've been right next to him while he was doing It," said Donovan. "Not only seeing it but hearing his blows land. I say that Joo Louis who smashed up Schmcling and John Henry Lewis could have beat any fighter who ever lived. Including Dempsey. Heforco Proves Point.

"What has ho got that Dempsey didn't have? Fundamentals. He has everything. Dempsey had only strength and speed and a punch, but not a harder punch than Joe's. Dempsey was not a natural fighter. Why, that left jab of Joe's alone would have been enough to boat him." Arthur was asked if he noticed that the champion didnt' use his famous jab a single time against Lewis.

"Yes, he did use It," Donovan dissented. "He jabbed him a hard one on the nose Inside the first five seconds. It probobly would have broken your nose." The press wanted to argue the point. The unanimous impression of the rlngslders had been that Joe's first tentative jab had fallen short an inch or more. "That proves exactly the point I'm trying to make about Louis," said the country's top referee.

"You've got to be in there to realize how he'tears a man up. That jab landed so hard I even heard it and it jarred John Henry clear to his heels, but I'll bet not two poople in the crowd knew it. That's how fast that boy 1 Del Mar Tournament Gets Top Swingers DEL MAR, Jan.

Dick Metz of Chicago, winner of the San Francisco match play and Oakland open, and Smiling Jimmy Dcmaret of Houston, who won the Los Angeles open, headed the delegation of pros. Collegians Favored In All-Star Battle SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ranging from 2 to 1 nnd 1 to 7 favored the college all- stars today to beat the pro all stars In the Knights of Columbus charity football game here Sunday. The fact that Davey O'Brien the Texas Christian University passing master, would start nt left halfback for the Collegians, sent the odds their way. On the other side of the lino playing the left half position for the Pros will be Billy Patterson from Baylor, making his pro debut.
