ST.LOUIS STAR-TIMES WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1930. ST.LOUIS STAR-TIMES HOLIDAY BALL GAMES DRAW 249,538 FOR NEW HIGH A TTENDANCE MARK EIGHTEEN SID KEENER'S COLUMN 'Iron-Man' 61,808 Gehrig Weeps as Pay Tribute to Him BROWNS DRAW DAY OF LEISURE AFTER LOSING TWIN-BILL YANKEES ATTRACT DETROIT CROWD IS 56,272 sting a bk, but he doesnt dent his man. Galento is shown in the ring, and a few hours later. He's battered and bruised, all right and by a fighter whose punching power is questioned by this Galento rooter. The pictures tell the story.

mnke I-ouis resemble a novice because Gene whs a pretty fancy stepper, and a beautiful boxer Jack Dempsey, at his best, could stop Louis etc. etc. Support for Galento. One of Galento's many local admirers took time out to communicate with this conductor. Tony was praised on all sides for his courageous performance against the champ, and a bit of wind was removed from Louis' sails as a fighter who explodes fistic dynamite.

"What have you to say about Louis reputed terrific punch power?" inquired Galento's rooter in a letter. "Joe couldn't even finish Galento. I'd like to have your comment on this subject." Galento's booster will be accommodatedwith pictures. It Ls true that LouLs did not score a clean knockout over Galento last week but only because Reteree Art Boxing owe Tony Oalento a debt of gratitude or homething like that. Fisticuffing interest was fading along cauliflower row when along came the New Jersey bar-keep to bop a world champion on the chin, send him a-sprawling to the canvas, and now, everyone is talking about things la' pugilistic.

Galento is responsible for this new interest in ring affairs. He was knocked out by Joe LouLs in their heavyweight championship fight in New York last week, but strange as it seems, the awkward Italian gained more headlines than the Detroit Negro. The Louis-Galento battle was regarded as another set-up for the defending champ. Joe had stopped his three previous opponents in jig time in the first round, and he was expected to turn out a quick, neat job on the pudgy Italian challenger. Another one-round decLsive victory for Louis would have thrown the heavyweight division in cold I la.

-j- Mr NEW YORK, July 5. (U. The big fellow stood there at home plate and tried to speak Into the microphone, but he choked up and his fist went to his eyes to push back the tears before he attempted to address the crowd that had come to pay him tribute. Even an "iron man" Is entitled to one good cry, and Lou Gehrig had his before 61,808 admirers In Yankee Stadium yesterday. It was Lou's formal farewell as an active player In baseball, and never was there a more touching scene on a diamond.

It was a grand tribute to Lou's fifteen seasons with the Yankees, to his almost unbelievable 2.130 consecutive game record that was ended In April by an obscure form of Infantile paralysis. Speaks His Piece. After a pat on the back and a reassuring word from Manager Joe McCarthy, who appeared to be almost as affected as Gehrig, the former first baseman spoke his piece. "For the past two weeks," he said, "you've been reading about what a bad break I had. But I want to say now that I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Those words climaxed a forty-minute celebration of "Gehrig Day" between games of a double-header the Yanks spilt with the Senators, and when Lou had finished there was a spontaneous roar from the stands.

Ten members of the Yankees' gTeat 1927 team had come to honor "Locomotive" Lou. Each was introduced and cheered, and except for Gehrig, it was Babe Ruth who received the greatest ovation. The others who came were Bob Meusel. Mark Koenlg. Tony Lazzeri, Walte Hoyt, Herb Pennock, Jumping Joe Dugan, George Pipgras.

Bob Shawkey and Earl Combs, a Yankee coach. Among the other prominent old-timers who turned out were Wally Pipp, whose job Gehrig took at first base when he began that consecutive game record in 1925; Everett (Deacon) Scott, whose record of 1.307 consecutive, games Gehrig broke; Wally Schang and Benny Bengough. Praised By LaGuardia. Mayor LaGuardia called Lou "a perfect prototype of the best sportsmanship and citizenship of this city and nation." Postmaster General Farley said "Your name will live long in baseball and wherever the game is played they will point with pride and satisfaction to you and your record." Daniel M. Daniel, New York base- Who hits the harder punch Louis or Galento? After-the-f ight pictures of Joe and Tony show left, Tony after the bout had been stopped, with his lips, nose and eyes bruised; center Tony's face covered with patches; right Joe, with not a mark on his face.

(Acme Photos.) 1 How Good Is Louis? Louis has been described as a super fighter, one of the best in the business, but since Tony sent Joe to the floor there is the belief among fistic observers that the champ can be taken. Galento is entitled to a merit award for his feat in knocking Joe off his feet, but who's around in the current crop who's able to finish, the job all the way to the count of ten? Lou Nova, product of California, will probably advance to the No. 1 position in the field of challenger now that Galento has been knocked out. but it is doubtful that the far-westerner is theboy to succeed Louis. Lou Is a fair prospect, but lacks a kayo punch that is.

a wallop that cuts down an opponent in a hurry. Louis was jarred every now and then in the Galento fight, but at no time did he appear In distress. He absorbed rights and lefts in the first round without retreating from Galento's barrage of fists. He dropped Tony in the second, and did not finish his man at that time because he probably realized he had ample time in which to turn on the heat. LouLs' handlers were gratified more than they were pained when they saw Joe topple overboard after taking Tony's loop-the-loop left to the jaw in the third round.

Here was the first test for Joe. Could he take it? He was off his feet for the first time as the world champion. He revived in the short space of one second down to the floor, but up, and carrying the fight to Tony. Galento's knockdown, short as it was, convinced fistic addicts that a heavyweight with a little more TNT will be able to knock Joe Louis off the king seat. Anyway.

Tony Galento caused things to stir in the fisticuffing field, for which everyone is grateful evea Promoter Michael S. Sabin Defeats Sutter. GLENCOVE, N. July 5. (TJ.

Galento was out on his feet, and Donovan displayed a tender heart when he jumped between the two battlers and prevented further action on the part of Joe. a Aftcr-the-battle pictures reveal the punching power of the respective fighters in the New York combat. Take a look at them! Galento was felled on only two occasions in the second round and again in the fourth round.

He went out to slug It toe-to-toe and may the better man win The better man won, but at the same time Tony Galento emerged with a moral victory for himself, and also caused a new wave interest to hit the fistic industry.

BY FRANZ WIPPOLD. An open date in their schedule today gave the Browns a chance to recover from a wild and woolly series with the Chicago White Sox before the St.

Loulsans open a two-game set with the Detroit Tigers here tomorrow. After losing the series opener, 8-3, Monday, the Browns returned yesterdny and dropped both ends of the Independence Day double-header to the White Sox. 7-3 and 7-4, at Sportsman's Park. The losses, however, were not taken without several arguments with the umpires a practice which seems to prevail in the major leagues these days. First of all, yesterday's opener was completed under protest by the Browns after Umpire Ed Rommel ruled that Eric McNair, Chicago third baseman, was entitled to a home run in the third inning after lining a drive into the left field wing of the grandstand, which ordinarily Is foul territory.

Stands on Derittion. When Rommel ruled the blow fair, a tense argument ensued between Brownie players and conches and himself. Rommel refused to alter his decision and bleacher fans stood up, waved their arms and shouted, "Foul! Foul!" while many others among the 5.092 cash customers and 887 boys and girls proceeded to give the arbiter raucous jeers. Later investigation revealed that McNair's drive had broken the top rung of the fourth seat in the fourtn row of the grandstand, which obviously made the ball foul. The pellet was recovered by Robert Gibson, a 10-year-old Negro lad who lives at 3134 Franklin avenue.

He saiu the drive entered the stands on the foul side of the line. Bleacher spectators seated immediately next to the fence, in fair territory, verified the youth's staie-ment. Among them were Joe Schroe-der, 3105 Fair avenue; Burrill Har-grave, 3930 Maffitt avenue; H. U. Beare, 7364 Pershing avenue; Paul Olsen, 6419 Grove avenue, and Peter Faledes.

6076 Maple avenue, all of whom said the ball was foul by at least six feet. In the umpires' dressing room. Rommel said: "None of us is perfect. I called the ball a home run and, in my Judgment. It was.

Regardless of what the public or press has to say, I doubt if the Browns' protes will do any good, because an umpire's Judgment is never questioned in the decision of a play." Both Without Managers. On top of that bit of business, both teams were without managers. Fred Haney of the Browns began a three-day suspension following a run-in with Umpire Cal Hubbara over a decision on a pitch during Monday's game, while Pilot Jimmy Dykes of the Sox was still barred because of a row with Hubbard and Rommel at Detroit Sunday. Pitchers Roxle Lawson and Vernon Kennedy of the Browns also were punished Monday. Lawson was chased from the game and fined $10, while Kennedy was merely chased in the same argument that involved Haney.

Jack Kramer and Kennedy were 'charged with the losses yesterday, while John Rigney and Clint Brown gained credit for the triumphs. In each contest, big rallies produced victory for the White Sox. A six-run uprising occurred In the opener, while a ninth-inning five-run rally clinched the" decision in the afterpiece. Besides McNair, Joe Gallagher, the Browns' outfielder, hit a home run In the first game, while Ollie Bejma, a former St. LouLsnn, drove out two circuit smashes In the second game.

Double Softball Victory. The Bobs won two softball games this week, defeating the Barons, 10 to 3, and 4 to 2. C. Lappe and S. Bergman were the winning pitchers.

NEW YORK. July 5 U. Attendance figures tumbled yesterday as the major leagues hit the stretch drive and passed the traditional turning point. July 4. with double-headers In each ol the eight cities housing major-league teams.

The total attendance. 249.538. set a new high for the year. This represented 145.202 customers at American League games and 104.336 at National League contests. The biggest turnout was the crowd of 61,808 that jammed Yankee Stadium to see Emil (Dutch) Leonard of the Washington Senators trim tne World Champions.

3-2, for the third time this season, with the Yankees following up with an 11-1 triumph. At Detroit, where Buck Newsom held Cleveland to three hits and won his ninth game of the year. 4-0. a new all-time record crowd of 56572 took a ducking when heavy rains washed out the second game of the program. But despite this crowd at Detroit, neither Cleveland nor the Tigers should threaten the Yanks" grip on first place, which now has reached eleven and one-half games.

Thus, the old tradition that "the team In first place on July 4 should win the pennant." is likely to hold true for the Yanks, even though during the pa it five years, only one club, the Yar.ks. made this axiom stick. And twice, during this period, even the Turks, after leading on July 4. found thrntfrf-lves crowded out of the championship. In the National League, It's a different story.

None of the five "July 4 leaders" during the past five seasons has won a flag. And maybe that's why 41.937 fans crowded into Forbes Field. Pittsburgh, to see their beloved Pirates split a twin-bill with Cincinnati.

Padutah 8 i. ball writer, presented Lou a sil ver bowl and candlesticks from the New York Giants, and called him "the greatest first baseman of all time." Among the other gifts he received would be hard to say which ball player Barrett prized most highly. He liked Prpper Martin.

Jim Bot-tomley, Mickey Owen and a lot of others, but Charley always showed more Interest and enthusiasm over the youngsters down in the 'bushes' than In the men who had reached the majors and had made good. Once his boys reached the Cardinals, Charley usually let them continue on their own." Bill DeWitt, general manager of the Browns and formerly treasurer of the Cardinals, said: "The death of Charley Barrett is a blow to baseball. I doubt if I had a greater friend In the game than Charley. He always had a habit of playing little pranks on me, ever since I was a mere kid. Only yesterday, on his return from Fayetttevllle, Charley slipped Into my office and left a Fayetteville newspaper on my desk.

Ho asked me during yesterday's game If I had read It, and then explained that the sports editor had 'kidded' me in his column and this was too good for Charley to pass up." Pepper Martin Incident. Of all the ball players Barrett brought into the majors, Pepper Martin, present Cardinal captain, probably showed more outward'signs of appreciation than any of the others. Only ten days ago, when fans of St. Louis provided a "Pepper Martin Day" and presented Pepper with various gifts at Sportsman's Park, Martin marched over to Barrett, clasped the old scout's hand and said: "Gee Charley, don't you know that If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be here. You've made all this possible for me, for you brought me into the big leagues." Close acquaintances say that Barrett, overjoyed and with tears in his eyes, put his arm around Pepper and replied: "Son, I know you appreciate all I've done for you and you've certainly done your part to make my baseball Judgment stand up." Mary Murphy, secretary to Rickey and also a close friend of Barrett, was in tears throughout most of the day as she related over and over, how Barrett had "scolded" her yesterday evening "for working too hard." "He left the offices mumbling that we shouldn't be working so hard in this hot weather." Miss Murphy said.

"But that was Charley Barrett always worried about somebody else. Why, only Monday, when he heard that Mr. Rickey was going to make a business-trip for the Cardinals, he called me aside and told me to try to persuade 'B-R' as he called Rickey, to stay home with his family over the Fourth of July. In fact, I thought It was most peculiar that he should ask Mr. Rickey three or four times to reconsider his plans and not make the trip.

That was the first time I had ever heard Charley make such a request. Maybe he had an idea but then Here she burst into tears. A Good Story Teller. Recognized as a baseball man with a wealth of baseball stories, Barrett always had a new experience to relate about his latest trip into the "bushes." Probably his most entertaining yarns, however, deal with his trip to Havana, Cuba, three winter ago. While In thia "peace and cups, a tobacco stand from the baseball writers, fishing rod and tackle from the stadium grounds crew, and a silver trophy from his fellow players.

ful place," as It had been described by Senor Miguel Gonzalez, Cardinal coach, a revolution broke out and Barrett was forced to flee for his life, hopping from post to post to dodge bullets that whizzed by his head. As soon as he could pack his grip he caught the next boat back to the United States and reported back to the Cardinal offices, saying: "If there are any good ballplayers in Cuba, let them stay there; I'll find mine out in Oklahoma, Arkansas and all iolnts west." One of the veteran scout's greatest pastimes was letter writing to ballplayers, attaches of the Cardinal offices, sports writers in all parts of the country and to his family. His career as a major league scout began thirty years ago with the Browns after he had served for several seasons in the minor leagues. He played with Dallas, Houston and San Antonio in the Texas League and later managed two semi-pro teams, the White Seals and the Orphan Boys of Frank Sebastian. In 1916, when the late Phil Ball took over the Browns.

Mr. Barrett became a scout for the Detroit Tigers. Two years later he Joined the Cardinals and has been with them ever since. His duties as a scout carried him all over the nation In search of baseball talent from the sandlots of big cities to the universities and to obscure backwoods towns and villages. Discovered Many Stars.

Barrett is credited with the discovery of many past and present stars for the three ball clubs. Among them are Ray Blades, now Red Bird manager; Pepper Martin, Jim Bot-tomley, Charley Grimm, Billy Kil-lefer. Art Fletcher, Jeff Tesreau, Muddy Ruel, Elam Vangilder, Clarence (Tillie) Walker.

vice president and general manager of the and was said to be In good spirits. On many recent occasions, Mr. Barrett stated he ftlt "in the pink of condition." The atmosphere at the Cardinal office was gloomy today. Employes and officials of the ball club were obviously greatly upset by the death of one whom all had regarded so af- fectionately. From time to time, work was stopped as first one and then another remembered anecdotes of the scout's life.

One employe recalled how Barrett and Branch Rickey, vice president and general manager of the Cardinals, always chlded one another about various Incidents. Rickey and Barrett had an agreement, about which Charley always laughed, that should Barrett die first. Rickey was to give the funeral oration and vice versa. One instance of Barrett's friendship for Rickey is evidenced by the fact that he visited Rickey's home each Christmas. And the celebration was never begun until Charley Barrett arrived.

One of Barrett's hobbies was to make the path of life somewhat easier for unfortunate youngsters. He was known to have assisted many young boys and their families in a financial way. President Sam Breadon, noticeably moved by the loss of his head scout, said: "Charley Barrett was one of the finest men I ever knew. His word was his bond. He never was afraid to admit a mistake, though his Judgment on young ball players was sound and baseball men all over the country respected his word on any player." About this time, a long-distance telephone call came from Rickey, who is with the Cardinal team in Cincinnati.

Rickey, who is scheduled to make a speech at Rochester tomorrow noon, informed Breadon that he would fly to St. Louis immediately after delivering his address, in order to attend the funeral Friday morning. Breadon then continued: "It Beat Summer's Sun and rout the heat!) Cool off with Stag it's DRY, Not Sweet! 3 YOU don't have to bring back the good old days to enjoy good old-time beer. No, sirree!
