(By RUSS J COWANS)

H It would be just as well if we wrote off the story of■ the Detroit Stars of the current season as a niehtmare -■ something to forget about We'll probably never .see a■ team as woefully weak as the current edition—at least 1■ hopeAnd to think that the Detroit Stars, once the outstand-ling team in the rmddlewest. have sunk to a position where■ they can be kicked around by a bunch of youngster* fro*h■ from the class rooms. Horrible proceedings.No club, with the possible exception of St. Louis has■ looked as bad as the Detroit Stars. The fielding ha* been■ atrocious, the pitching terrible, and the hitting has re-■ minded you of a good comic strip.I Si ",c* th.l ar

.

lyupart of ! he seas”n the Detroit club has■ been riding the toboggan, bp until the massacre over the■ past week-end the club had won two and lost 10 with lea■ gne clubs. Avery- poor record for a town which is recog.■ mzed as the best baseball city in the countrv—not exrent-ling New York and Chicago.

I Kut the local fans want a good hall club, and that’s■ just what Owner Jim Titus does not have.I Ho has taken a bunch of sandlotters and tried to con-I vert them into league players. Cheap labor never paysI in the long run.I The infield reminds one of a seive with its raggedI play. The outfield, with the exception of ManagerI Stearnes. ambles about as though they are in a maze. TheI pitchers, with the exception of Dimp Miller, have as muchI on the ball as the average fourteen-year-old kid.

Actually, the team is so rotten that I wouldn’t spendI the price of admission to see them in action,Kut let’s forget about the Stars and think about foot-

ball. doe Louis, Henry Armstrong, Flora Lomax, ClarenceHunt. r. and others of topnotch calibre in the field ofsport*.

r(‘s no doubt that you have heard about the're-cent Dniinybrook between George Godfrey, Black Shadowol I.eijM'i\ Hie, and Hank linnkison, Los Angeles heavv-weiu.i. And, you’ve probably heard of the bottle-throw-ing . "..-ode which, il accounts are to be believed, causeda. ; iion ot hostilities, (if they could have been calledhd' i between the two behemoths by Max Baer, for*mt*r i. avywe.ght champion, in a Los Angeles ring.

|r <eems, trom press accou-ts from the West Coast,that < ii? of the fans, disgusted with the slothful actions ofthe h.n would-be fighters, plus the comic carrying-ons ofl;.d h aved a whiskey bottle from the remote recesses ofth. balcony, said bottle striking one of the posts of thermg. tne shattered fragments scattering among the ring-<i,b pei tutors, including a number of prominent cinema

George Godfrey is the International Boxing Federa-edition of the heavyweight champion. He was

awarded this somewhat worn and bedraggled crown after,he had disposed of the ancient and decrepit Pierre,Cha 1 1. s. He has been hibernating for the past couple of'years. but has come out of his extended slumbers now 'that ’be members of the Cauliflower craft have suddenly Ibeen 'ossed into a field of clover. And Big Gawge al-|w®>> did like to rollick in the fields of clover, even whenhe w is travelling the tank circuit.

And speaking about George recalls to mind the Bar-on of Leiperville, manager of the former resident of Mo-bil' The good Baron could talk long and loud about theefficiency of his protege in the ring, and at the same time,sell George, down the river to the gangsters. This was jdefintely illustrated in the shindig between George andPrimo Camera, the Ambling Alp, four or five years agoin a Philadelphia ring. And the B'ron was caustic in hisremarks about anyone who even hinted that he hadbought a tank for George to dive in. “Why, I would not•derate such actions on the part of Godfrey,” the goodfW.»n would shout.

"ot* and all.”Hut old Bill Shakespeare could

not have made the Duke Ephesusno as much to destroy the mer-chant of Syracuse as the DetroitStars are doing to destroy them-j selves.

There never was a greater Com-of Errors than that horribleexhibition put on between the De-troit Stars and the Atlanta Black

< rackers at Hamtramck Stadiumover the past week-end. It was ter-rific. and the smell of the pollutedplay lingers in the nasal channels.

In the outfield there were Dro-niios of Ephesus and Dromlos ofSyracuse doing pantomlne acts asfhey stumbled about In the highcrass (And the grass in the out-field has grown so tall Its’ hard todiscern the outfielders) in feeblecffnr s to snare fly balls.

The Infield had burrowed In thedeep grooves In the diamond andwas unable to extricate Itself Infielding slow grounders. It wasenough to make the fans blush Inshame.

The comical antics on the fieldof play have just Hbout soundedthe “doom of death” of the teamand there will b« an “end of woesand all.”

The Crackers, a group of col-lege boys from the Institutions oflearning In and around Atlanta,captured tho opening gnme Satur-day to the tune of 6-4. They cameback Sunday to win the first game°f *he double-header, nnd then lostthe nightcap, 11-lft, and then wonthe final game Monday afternoon.7-2.

Out of this catastrophe was ex-tracted some good hitting by Char-ley Justice. Justic pounded outtwo home runs for the Stars In thesecond game Sunday. He also re-lieved Daniel Webster and did afair Job of stopping the rampagingCrackers.

The fans are wondering Just howlong will owner Jim Titus attemptto cram some sandlot baseballplayers down throats accustomedto league food. They’ve showntheir resentment by remaining a-way from the park in droves.

The club is without a doubt theworst group of misfits ever towear Detroit uniforms.

Infact,, the proposed bout between Armstrong and OrvilleDruillard has the fight fans along the Main Stem showingmore than usual interest at a time when lethargy reignssupreme.

Armstrong, who is recognized by California as thefatherweight champion, came out of the west less than *

year ago to startle the eastern fans and sport writers withhis potent punching and whirlwind dash in the ring-. Hepunched Mike Bclloise, New York champion, full ofholeswith his lethal fists, and then smeared Aldo Spoldi.

And, in addition to being recognized as the best ofthe current crop of featherweights (and by many as thegreatest featherweight of all times), Armstrong is con-sidered by many as the most serious threat to Lou Ambers’lightweight crown.
