A. OAKLAND TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1937 Ready to Sneak Over Hard Punch on Max Baer's Chin Tonight Buddy Appears In for Easy Night's Work By ALAN WARD If this department's San Jose correspondent may be. believed, Nash Garrison is fired with a mighty ambition to make Max Baer appear ridiculous in their four-round exhibition tonight at the Auditorium, At this writing a report had not been received from the undercover man shadowing Ted Johnson, who has a similar engagement with Max' little brother, Buddy, but it may be presumed Ted entertains no ideas of a like nature. By fast. carrier pigeon has come word from Garrison's bailiwick the challenger-yes, actually DEFIESBaer to stand up.

and make a fight of It. WARD SKEPTICAL I would be a lot more impressed were the message whispered in my ear by the bird itself, lacking the powers to comprehend pigeon English, I'll have to take the San Jose correspondent's word for At would be rather jolly it Garrison should wham Baer on the chin, and Max would wham back, and a genuine fight should ansue. Perhaps Garrison wouldn't get all the, worse of it, either, because, after all, the San Josean is In fair shape, while Max hasn't had fight since he left London a few months, ago. be snitching, but I can't help but warn Maxie the San Jose pals of Garrison, have been ribbing him into belief the former exchampion is merely a shell of his dormer self, and a young fellow tryung to get along could receive lots af publicity, and work, by scoring knockout or an sorts Even if the match technically is supposed to be all in fun. DEMPSEY CITED This local situation recalls an incident a few years ago.

in which Jack Dempsey, on tour, met up with Charlie Belanger in a short exhibition. The boys were supposed to spar around and look graceful, but Belanger either forgot or deliberately abandoned his lines, because he proceeded to hand the Manassa Mauler plastering which Jack didn't get for many a day. I am not interring for a minute Garrison will pull a Belanger and treat Max to a licking, but neither am I asserting Nash WON'T try to do just that, Particularly if Max hits first in attempt to show the home town folks he still has what it takes. The Buddy Johnson exhibition no will run pretty much on schedule, because Buddy at almost could chase Johnson right out of the ring and into Lake Merritt. BUDDY READY True enough, Johnson is more experienced than Buddy, having been boxing for at least seven years, but whatever young Baer's pugilistic shortcomings, it must be he can punch hard and has courages, It is hard to conceive Johnson tempting disaster by sneaking over an authoritative wallop when Buddy isn't looking.

The budlet, aroused, can become bad coffee. Controversy waging over. the of the exhibition gloves to be used today had simmered down to an agreement between fight club officials and Inspector Willie Ritchie they would baiance somewhere between six and 10 ounces. AGREEMENT REACHED If an eight-ounce mitten is used the exhibitions will be on a par with many Eastern bona tide fights, that weight prevails. California's fistic family goes in for a six-ounce Which of two six-round matches will enjoy the status of main event may be decided by the flip of a coin early.

California to Have New Gridiron Clock No longer will that last minute of play in California Memorial Stadium "seem like an It can't, because the evidence is before you. To eliminate the spectator's uncertainty in football game time, the University of California has rebuilt the stadium clocks so that both seconds and minutes are indicated. The clocks, at either end of the stadium, are connected electrically with the timer's timepiece.

When the ball is put into play, a red second hand starts, When the ball is declared the arm stops. Further increasing efficiency of the two clocks, they have beer enlarged to eight and one-half feet square from their original six square. Arizmendi Defeats Wright LOS ANGELES. Oct. Baby Arizmendi, Los Angeles, punched out a clean-cut 10-round decision over Chalky Wright, 135, Los Angeles, before 6000 fans at the Olympic Auditorium last night.

Hurley's Loss Hurts, 'Slip' -St. Mary's Has Long Ways to Go, States Madigan (Following is another of a series of questions and answers on football by Coach Slip Madigan of St. Mary's Each week Madigan gridiron developments through this medium.) Q-Now what do you think of your Gaels? A--I think Gonzaga fielded one of the toughest teams St. Mary's will face this year. I believe we should have won and deserved to win but, nevertheless, that scoreless tie was perfectly satisfactory.

-Were you satisfied with St. Mary's improventent? A--No, we've still a long way to go, but I'm confident now that we'll get there.ed The something Gaels tackled. old- and time precision We may lose another game, but I'm telling you now nobody's going to out-tackle or outblock St. Mary's. If the changes we are work out like we hope nobody else will even get a tie.

GONZAGA STRONG -How strong a ball club is Gonzaga? A--The only team in the Northwest that can even a candle to Mike Pecarovich's Bulldogs is the University. of Washington. -Look: at record. Gonzaga should have won from Washington State, which was a good enough team to trim Idaho, 13-0; last Saturday. 'And Idaho had beaten, Oregon State, 7-6, the week before.

I think the outcome of the Gonzaga-Oregon game this week will further demonstrate the Bulldogs' strength. Q--What impressed you the inost the St. Mary's-Gonzaga game? A--Truthfully, I must admit it was the crowd. We had more than 30,000 paid admissions, which was and away the biggest crowd we opened to in San Francisco. It was also the first time we opened at home after losing a game and the unswerving loyalty of our supporters is deeply appreciated by, both the team and myself.

In far as it is humanly possible, we shall never let them down. HURLEY LOSS HURTS Q- -How will the loss of Joe Hurley effect the Gaels? A--It is a terrific blow and we'll have a tough time carrying on without this fine boy. His absence cuts deeply into the morale of the squad because he was its most personable and best liked member. Although Joe never weighed more than 180 pounds and always took a pounding at end, his cool courage, gay confidence and high intelligence made him a natural leader, We are all pulling for him to get well fast and with his tremendous grit and will to win, I know he How do you account for the Gaels' success in stopping the "Great" Karamatic? ALCATRAZ FORMATION A--We didn't hold" him any too well on running plays, but good breaks on Dowd's long kicks plus new "Alcatraz Formation" eliminated any punt returns. The old "Alcatraz," during which we transpose our halfbacks and ends on punt-formation proved most satisfactory and we intend to stick with it.

Like its namesake, it seems to be escape- pro howabout these changes in your lineup? A--We obviously couldn't win ballgames the way we were, so some radical changes were in order. Jerry Dowd goes from left half to center; Frank Shock from right halt to left end; Tony Falkenstein from fullback to tackle and Mike Perrie from quarterback to guard. If our original plan works out St. Mary's will have eight backs in the starting lineup against Nevada Saturday. Our principal object is to distribute our strength more evenly as well as to permit having our 11 best men in the game at one time even if they are all backs.

It is the greatest coaching experiment I have made in 17 years and I am anxious to see how it works out. DEATH PARTS PALS Less than a month ago James 1. Jeffries (right), weight boxing champion of the world, staged at his ranch near Los Angeles in honor of Court (left). Van Court, a former Oakland away yesterday in Los P. photo.

DeWITT VAN COURT, TUTORED JEFFRIES, DIES De Witt Van Court. the man who developed Jim Jeffies into world heavyweight champion and who founded an Oakland athletic club a half-century ago, is dead. The bushy -haired veteran of the prize ring died while asleep at his Los Angeles home yesterday, dispatches said. A few of the friends with whom he had passed. the time since his retirement from active in-: struction in 1932 were at his bedside.

Van Court was the brother of Eugene S. Van Court, Oakland court reporter for 42 years, former baseball sports referee and wrestler. The two Van Courts founded the Acme Athletic Club in Oakland in 1882. Eugene, 81, is in the court of Police Judge Chris B. Fox.

De Witt Van Court devoted more than 50 of his 77 years to' teaching young men that skill and strategy the best means of overcoming brute strength. He was known as the father of scientific boxing. Van Court died just a month after he had met with more than 50 of his former pupils in a reunion on Jeffries' Burbank ranch and heard many of them eulogize his life, his work and the teachings he passed on. Fittingly, it was Jeffries, himself a graying, elderly man now, who came forth with the first tribute today. Grief stricken, he said: "I have yet to meet a better or finer character than De Witt Howard Seeks Low Weight It Tanforan and Bay Meadows tracks will be lenient in weight assignments, Charles S.

Howard's great race horse, Seabiscuit, may run at least twice in Northern Callfornia during the Fall season, Howard declared today. Track officials expressed the opinion that since Seabiscuit has so convincingly subdued the best pitted against him, leniency in weight might result in owners of leading contenders refusing to enter. The son of Hard Tack is being groomed for an engagement at Laurel, Maryland, October 16. Court. He was one of the finest men in boxing and helped me more than any other." Funeral services have not been planned.

They will be arranged by his son, Carroll Van Court, who republished a book of his father's boxing instructions, and probably will be held under rites of the Masonic order. Van Court spent almost his entire life in California. Born in Mountain View, in Santa Clara County, he moved with his family 'to San Francisco when that city was perhaps the "toughest" in the Nation. He soon quit a job as a blacksmith in favor of boxing, and successively was instructor at the Acme Club in Oakland and the San Francisco Athletic Club. There he taught numerous sons, among them dozens who peter gone on to success in athletics and business.

He coached Jimmy Britt, once a great lightweight; James J. Corbett, world heavyweight titleholder, and later Jeffries, whom he equipped with the greatest punch of his day. After the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, Van Court became instructor at Los Angeles Athletic Club, where he remained until his retirement five years ago. It was in Los Angeles he perfected the modern boxing' glove, the heavy punching bag, and the automatic 4-minute boxing clock, and expanded the technique of boxing known as the Van Court system. Yamagishi to Enter Army former heavya get-together De Witt Van clubman, passed WHO Jiro Yamagishi, 25, Japanese tennis star, who was to sail for Tokyo today from San Francisco after peting in the Pacific Coast tennis championships last.

week, said he expected to enter the Japanese Army, In announcing he probably had ended his career 'as a tennis player, University of Keio of Tokyo student, said he would be subject to compulsory military service within two years and "probably sooner it any trouble starts with Russia." Last Night's Fights New York--Bernie Friedkin, New York, outpointed Young Chappie, Albany, (8). NEUTRAL CORNER By Alan Ward It's been a long time since Baer pulled his moving picture torso into a local ring and flexed his impressive biceps for the edification of the paying public. Five years to be exact, and unless my memory is faulty and record book is all wet, Walter Cobb. was his most recent Oakland victim. Max halted Walter, something a hoosier, in four rounds, and from there went on to New York, where he ultimately won the world's heavyweight championship.

Tonight Maxie takes part in four-round exhibition with Nash Garrison, and folks who remember the splendid fistic animal of several years ago certain to make a bunch of comparisons when the onetime title holder squares off against an opponent who wouldn't have been any better than a sparring partner when Baer was riding the top wave. The Baer Cobb bout netted quite a few thousands of dollars, but the event coming up hardly is expected to go past the three grand Which, after all, is only fair, Inasmuch as this time Max is engaging in no more than an exhibition, while the other, to all advance appearances, was a legitimate fight. There's more than a remote possibility Baer's perfunctory operations tonight will be his last an Oakland audience, so if there are dyed-In-the-wool Baer fans within this column's reading radius, they'd better arrange to be at the Auditorium and cheer the departing guest. Within a few days Max and Company will leave for New York; and perhaps later to England, and if old Albion is half as enjoyable as the Livermore Larruper claims, he'll remain there for a goodly period. 40 Set for Sunday Race Qualifying Tests Saturday to Cut Field to Sixteen land fans to see.

His clubs of 1935 and 1936 dropped but four games. Six of Erb's squad of 34 were recruited, from Oakland. Those from that city who have been selected for the '37 team, are Jim Harris, Bill Collier, Bit Farber, Earl Meneweather, Keith Henderson and Phil Littlejohn. Among the bay elevens to feature the season's schedule of the Thunderbolts is the Cardinal Athletic Club of Oakland. That organization has been booked for a game at Albee Stadium here on November 7.

The Boston Bees made the most acquisitions, three, and the Philadelphia Athletics, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox got two players each. The Newark Bears, International League champions and standout minor league club of the year, lost only one player in the draft, First Baseman George McQuinn, a .331 hitter, who went to the St. Louis Browns. The Phillles also took pitchers. Their newcomers are.

Thomas Reis, ex-Boston Bee who won 19 and lost 9 for Wilkesbarre of the New York Pennsylvania League this. season, and Bill Ehrensberger, a winner for Sioux City of the Western League. Infielder William Martin of the Baltimore Orioles, a .301 batsman with 21 home runs for the 1936 season, goes to the Chicago White Sox with Outfielder. Ruppert Thompson of San Diego in the Pacitic Coast League. Each has been "up" before, Martin with the Giants and Thompson with the Bees.

The Cincinnati Reds, a helpless eighth in the National League race, took only; one player, Outfielder Anthony Bongiovanni of Portland. Bongiovanni hit .336, with 11 home runs this season. Emil Leonard, former Brooklyn 'slow stuff' artist, will attempt. a comeback with Washington. Leonard won 15 and lost eight with Atlanta of the association.

Pitcher Robert Klinger of Sacramento in the Coast League, a St. Louis Cardinal castoff, was picked up by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kinger won 19 for. Sacramento. Chicago Boxing CHICAGO, Oct.

return for to the Chicago Stadium tonight first time since December 9, with a 10-round feature bout between a pair oframbitious heavyweights, Max of Chicago, and Harry of Eagle Bend, Minn. bout is listed as for the heavyweight champion of Illinois. Marek is defending titleholder, Al Nettlow, of Detroit, and Varias Milling, rugged Los Angeles Filipino lightweight, meet in an 8- rounder. This is the first time that the famous Offenhauser motors have moved en masse into the Oakland Speedway. There are 14 of the Offenhauser cars entered, and three more en route from Chicago without the owners having signed an entry.

Chicago, incidentally, is sending its big three of auto racing to Oakland. They are Peter Neilson, Art Hartsfield and Harry Lewis. Hartsfield drove at Indianapolis this year, Speedway headquarters are locatd at Hotel Leamington, where Promoter Dave. Koetzla, who is also the general, manager of Gilmore Stadium Los Angeles, reports an unprecedented advance sale. Los Angeles newspapers are sending reporters to cover the national, and four major services have already wired for press seats for reporters and operators.

It is the first championship at Oakland which has attracted national interest. Vic Aldridge Seeks Admittance to Bar INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. -A dozen years ago a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates by the name of Vie Aldridge was doing lot of thinking about whether he would throw a "high hard one" or a slow curve at the Washington Senators in the World Series. Today the same Aldridge was doing a lot more thinking, this time about the statute of wills, the law of offer and acceptance and like as he took an examination for admission to the Indiana bar. He is a State senator from Terre Houte.

In the 1925 world's series Aldridge gave the Pirates their first victory with a 3 to 2 decision over Washington. Of course, should he get over both in New York and London, an eventuality which is problematical in view of the fact Max is getting along in years, he'll, want to pick up all the loose dollars available, but once he's blasted out, whether on the Atlantic seaboard or in Europe, he no doubt will fulfill his oft-repeated promise to hang up the gloves and retire to his ranch featuring whitefaced cattle. Inclined to a feeling of friendliness toward Max, I hope the crowd at the arena this evening is substantial Baer is given a proper welcome and farewell. After all, he was al great guy while he had it- -and for one, hope he STILL has it. HE DRAWS 'EM IN While then word "exhibition" usually hexes a fight show, there is no gainsaying Max' local drawing powers, as represented by gymnasium workouts.

On an ordinary Sunday a machine gun can spray. bullets through Duffy's gym without endangering the life, limb and happiness of spectators, but let it be known the Magnificent Maxie will be in the ring going through his act, and standing room is at a premium. Whether these same folks will bounce a sum ranging between 50 cents and $1.65 to witness a service available at the gymnasium for a mere. two-bits, remains to be seen. But the fight club officials believe the show attendance will be substantial.

Anyway, sufficiently bountiful to permit payment of the guarantees demanded by Max and Brother Buddy. Or didn't you know Buddy will box a four exhibition with Ted Johnson? I'm glad Billy Burke, my favorite referee, has been chosen to act as arbiter for the two "contests" featuring the Baer boys, because Billy is a hard bitten soul who won't stand for too much monkey business, and while he will have no power to insist the boys speed it up if they're inclined to loaf, at least he'll pass a few biting comments which may goad the combatants to an extreme measure of activity. Not having seen Billy on the local programs for a couple of weeks running I began to fear the commission had given him the cold shoulder, but apparently everything is roses between Burke and the august State body. Joe Gorman and Toby Irwin came across the bay for a pair of Oakland shows, and while they're estimable men who know their business, the ringside impression was spread Billy and Jimmy Duffy can handle the job without outside interference. Oakland mediators seldom it ever are seen in San Francisco, so it's a poor rule which doesn't work both ways.

SOME UNSUNG HEROES The other eight or 10 young men on tonight's program now know how a bridegroom at a wedding feels. He's. an important cog in the ceremony, but no one pays much attention to him. No one has been paying much attention to the two sixrounders and the three four-round matches on a card whose thunder has been stolen by the Baer brothers, and if past events duplicate themselves, it will be the unsung and unhonored chaps who provide the entertainment, and the headliners who take all the money.
