Mitchs Musings Mixed Sports Gossip and Rumors
Joe Louis era returns fantasies with Max Baer and Gunner Barlund this fall or winter. Baer may need to prove himself beyond managing Bob Taylor to stay competitive. Baseball notes include Cookie Lavagetto’s decline behind Leo Durocher, Babe Ruth’s Dodgers, Burgoo King’s Derby line as sire, Gehringer York and Greenberg pitching woes, and Yankee power declines. English polo plans for the Westchester Cup, Nearco’s $300,000 price tag, and Tracery’s 1920 Belmont price loom. Umpires err, Dr Kojac eyes 1940 Tokio, and Sam Chapman boosts hitting in the Athletics.
