The fact that Louis has a few punches of his own, which may not have fancy names, but can do strange things to guys who absorb them, didn‘t ibother Larruping Lou bit. The fellow who tried yogi beliefs to beat Max Baer once and then whipped him again with what he mystericously insisted was a cosmic punth last winâ€" ter, seriously revealed that during his last six weeks in the Maine woods he perfected a whole series of socks for the Bomber. Reading from left to right, this stock in trade includes: 1. The shock punch, a slraight blow. 2. The pull punch, a "rounded" walâ€" lop, apparently a form of hook. 3. The bullet punch, a sharp straight puntch which he expects to toss at Joe wiih considerable success. ‘"‘These are variations of the cosmic punth," Nova said as he posed for photographers in a gym before heading for his training ‘base at Pompton Lakes, N.J. "Prof. Walsion ~Crocker Brown of Long Island, who showed me the cosâ€" mic punch, has perfected new theories in punching and body development and I studied them all the time I was in Maine."

"If Joe starts to slug, I‘ll give it right back to him," he boasted. *T guarantee I won‘t take a backward step. Maybe Louis punches harder than I do, but I think I have a greateor ability to take it and I‘m willing to trade with him any time, because he can‘t possibly take the punishmert I can."

The second game of the series will be played at ‘the MciIntyre Park toâ€" morrow afternoon and if the Hollinger win tomorrow‘s game the Macs will be through for the season. At the end of the first half the two teams were tied and the executive decided that they would have to play a threeâ€"game series to decide the first half. If Mcâ€" Intyre happens to win the next two games then a best of five series will have to be played for the league buntâ€" ingz. Pat Wilson batted himself into the hero spot last night and then sat on the bench to see Louie Quimet kick the game away in the last half of the ninth. Barton replaced Dupuis in the ninth to get a single and advance Dorey to third ‘base. On Quimet‘s error Dorey scored with the winning run and two men out. In the McInâ€" tyre half of the ninth inning Pat Wilâ€" son banged out a threeâ€"base knock to score Jack Thayer who had been given a walk to tie the game.

The schedule called for twelve teams ‘but as yei there are only eleven ‘teams entered so there is an opening for another team. The schedule was drawn up by Secroâ€" tary Jimmy Gordon and was accepted unanimously ‘by the execulive. In the eyent that another team is not entered one team will be given a bys each night that they are supposed to meet the team that is on the schedule. Thefirst competition of the, year will be for the Legion Cup and play will start for the cup> on Monday, September l1st. One of the important questions setâ€" tled at Sunday‘s mesting was about the Doubles competition for the Rice Trophy. The executive decided that they will draw the names for the doubles teams. This will eliminate any team being too strong for the rest of the teams. Some of the lads in the league had their partners already pickâ€" ed and they presented a couple of very strong teams. The motion was moved by Art Leonard that the doubles teams be «drawn and it was seconded by AÂ¥. Jenkins. FEach club will be allowed to carry eight players and the dues will have to be paid to the secretary by September 26th. Team members will be assessed fifty cents for the season and active players will idbe charged one dollar. If a ‘team is shortâ€"handed on any night and they have to use one of the spares, the spare will then have to pay the extra fifty cents to make up the reâ€" gular fee. A motion to make the league games a best of three series was turn2>d down and the league will continue to operate on a basis of two games each night that they play. Games will be played every Monday and Friday nighis. Art Leonard suggested that the leaâ€" gue start a fives competition and it was decided that it would be tried beâ€" fore a decision was reached. Two changes were made on the exeâ€" cutive committee, placing T. Mounsey and A. Jenkins on the commitilee. Wally Armstrong read and explained some documents in connection with the clwb‘s application for a charter. The league will have to send in the names of the league directors or charter memâ€" bers and it was decided to send in the names of J. Gordon, A. Leonard, H. Hazelwood, H. MacPherson, P. Zanolla, T. Mounsey, W. Nixon, P. McCormick and H. Morin. The name decided upon for the Club was the Timmins Dart League.
