O’Connor and Grace Comiskey, poor pitching and hitting, and the team’s troubling attendance. It notes injuries to players like Jack Hayes and Luke Appling, a 8-0 loss at Yankee Stadium, and calls for strong leadership to revive a once great Chicago club.

Odds On Joe Louis Slims To 5-12 Before Walcott Rematch
In New York on June 18 the odds for heavyweight champion Joe Louis to retain his title against Jersey Joe Walcott shifted to 5 to 12 as the two prepare for a championship bout at Yankee Stadium. Louis has support for a knockout past predecessors while Walcott’s backers push for an upset in the 15 round contest. Training tightens in Grenloch New Jersey with Louis at 215 pounds and Walcott near a peak form as box office figures climb toward a possible million dollar gate marking a strong lead in summer boxing.
