Diet Aids Buddy Myer In Regaining His Batting Eye
Chicago AP reports Buddy Myer, former AL batting champion, cites a diet as his cure for a slump. The Washington second baseman, born Charles Solomon in Ellisville Mississippi, says his current .353 average reflects better digestion and improved health after two poor seasons. He recalls batting averages of .269 and .293 in 1936 and 1937 and notes a four-point rise from 1935’s .349. He explains stomach problems hampered him and that the diet, plus luck, should help him continue hitting.

Slow motion boxing clips fuel debate on Louis Schmeling clash
Writers in New York view pre release footage of the Louis Schmeling fight and conclude the so called kidney punch had little bearing on the outcome. They note Louis delivered a sequence of head blows before the key punches and that the fight’s end came after a series of powerful shots. The piece also covers Johnny Vander Meer’s latest setback, a rare base running incident in Iowa, and the looming Armstrong vs Am bers championship with five of eight boxing divisions likely to be held by Black fighters.
