.DOUGAN G|VEN'REYNOLDS' HIT
NOD OVER BURL NETS VICTORY

Leroy Dougan, the Arkansas
bantamweight, today had num-
bered Eddie Burl, of Jacksonville,
Fla. among his list of boxing
victims as the result of receiving
the unanimous decision at the end
of eight rounds of fast fighting in
Portner's Arena, Alexandria, Va,
last night.
Roy Manley clocked Ray Bowen,
local junior welterweight, on the
jaw after fifty-five seconds of the
first round of the eight-round
semifinal and the fight was over.
Bowen, floored by Manley's crisp
left, went down with a thud. He
tried to rise at the count of seven
but was too stunned by the punch.
Bowen did get to his feet by ten
but it was too late.
Harry Kersey, of Jacksonville,
Fla, was awarded a technical
Knockout over Bob Lowry, of this
city, when the latter failed to
come out for the sixth. Lowry
was considerably cut about the
eyes. Ken Overlin, Norfolk mid
dleweight, outpointed Walter Kirk
wood in a six-rounder.
Burl substituted for Benny
Schwartz, who appeared at the
last moment with a bandaged eye
and a physicians statement, ex,
planning he was unable to go on
with Dougan. The Floridan was
hard pressed by Dougan'S savage
attack in the opening rounds but
finished strong in the final round,

OUTSIDE HORSE
MAY CAPTURE
JUNE 8 RACE
BY JOHN C. HOFFMAN

CHICAGO, May 17.-Maybe
the horse players fevered argu-
ment about Head Play and Bro
ker's Tip isn't settled yet. Maybe
it won't come to a happy con-
clusion even after the American
Derby at Washington Park here
June 3. Some other 3-year-old,
kept out of the Kentucky Derby
and the Preakness, may win the
race. Who knows?
Among the 81 nominees who
may or may not get into the con-
troversy on June there may be
a horse to prove that it wasn't
the argument of Head Play and
Brokers Tip after all. For ex
ample, who can say that Joseph
E. Widener's Gold Way, Morton
L. SchwartZ'S Gold Basis, A. c.
Schwartz's One Chance, John
Marsch'S Broad Hill or the Arden
Farms Quel Jeu may do on that
occasion.

Catcher Marvin Shea, recently
traded by the Boston Red Sox
to the Browns, today had made
a successful debut with his new
club. He singled in the eleventh,
and scored the winning run on a
hit by Reynolds to give the
Browns a 80 victory yesterday.
Another rookie-Joe Mowry,
former Minneapolis outfielder-
got off to a flying start with the
Boston Braves by smacking a

Giants, kept his club right at
Pittsburgh's heels by tanning the
Cubs, to 1, for his fifth win of
the year, and New York's fourth

Decide to Keep It

: But following mature con-
Sideration Kid Cronin's lads
decided it would be better to
win if possible, so they ad-
dressed themselves to the task
of tieing up the score in the
ninth inning and went on to
ultimately and definitely and
finally win in the twelfth by
II to 10, just in time to save
the umpires from having to call
z halt in Difference to dusk.
However. in and amongst and
amid all of this the Griffmen
got something more than the
satisfaction of creeping into a
Second-place tie with the Indians.
They extracted out of the melee
the benign knowledge that in
Nineteen-year-old Cecil Travis
they have an infielder who in
one single game threatens by his
superb hitting and fielding to
chase any infielder on the team
right out of the picture if he
falters one instant either afield
or at bat.
That goes for Bob Boken, a
sensation in his own right con-
sidering his brief spell in major
league baseball, Ossie Bluege,
one of the best defensive play
ers of the last two decades,
Buddy Myer, the grittiest and
scrappin'est of his baseball
generation, say naught of Man
.ager Joe Cronin who can rest
himself on the bench any day
he likes should he feel his
managerial and playing duties
,contriving to slow him up in
either department.

=. And, because of this Young
Travis great day with the war
club and with grounders and
line drives whizzing all around
him, alls the more pity that
only a little handful of the
faithful were present to see
him bat 1000 his first four
trips to the plate, get to first
on his fifth appearance by
dint of an error, only to COM
plete the day with his fifth
blow of the afternoon, failing
but once in seven tries to reach
first.
Added to this, as we intimate
above, he fielded his spot per-
fectly and as the result of his
attack, manufactured three of
his teams eleven runs. To say
he must have been walking on
air when the day was done and
he traipsied back to his hotel,
would be emphasizing the OBJ

Also, needless to say, right
now he may tear up the return

aged.
} This controversy was absolutely
true. But now, with the season
well past the first month mark,
exactly the reverse rules the rooSt
as the daily games are nothing less
than a conglomeration of base
knocks, base knocks and more base
knocks.
The pitchers have been hard hit
by the weather apparently, as
every indication points to the sor-
rowful, yet true, fact that they've
lost their cunning and, in most
cases, are finding it terribly hard
to become settled again, much to
the heart breaks of the various
managers, not to mention the
owners of the respective clubs who
want to see their tWirlerS deliver
and deliver to the highest degree.
The Griffmen have not been on
the outside looking in when
thought of this important situ-
alton is considered at every angle.
Needless to say they've been right
in the thick of the trouble and
still are as the teams games of the
recent past will prove.
Pitchers Way Off
Yesterday, for example, Lefty
Walter Stewart had a fine lead
given him by his mates in that
game with the Cleveland Indians,
but for some reason or other,
blew the opportunity to win his
game hands down because of
vicious Indian rallies later in the
going. Then Monte Weaver found
it difficult to work easily while
Belve Bean, Sarge Connally, Bob
Craghead, Walter Brown and Mel
Harder. of the Indians. found
that pitching topnotch ball was
just too much for them at time
when it was most needed.
Many other instances of the
recent past could be cited here
but it would take up too much
space. Just the same the pitch
ing has been unusually poor Of
late and promises to continue
being poor until the real hot
weather arrives and every finger
will have that chance to really
unloosen his muscles again and
fire away like each man knows
he can.
This poor streak of pitching
has helped the race this year
odd as it sounds. Yep, believe it
or not, it has kept the scramble
for first place a veritable hot-bed
of activity with first one team
grabbing the position one day,
another club the next and still
another the next day and so on
down the line.
Pitching Will Decide
At this writing. the New York
Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Chi
cago White Sox and Washington
Griffmen are fighting it out for
top honors with honorS just
about even. Just how the tide
will turn in the near future no.
body can tell right now, but it's
a pretty safe contention that the
team that begins to get thu real
pitching, collectively and not in
dividually, will be the team who'll
gain the much sought after posi-,
and will hold it to the bitter end,
regardless of how heated the
going becomes later on.
AS to the Griffmen, Manager
Cronin believes that his team will
be the team to lead the others in
a little while. It's certainty
the Griffs surely possess the nee
esSary requisites in the persons
of Earl Whitehi1l. Walter Stewart,
General Alvin Crowder, Alphonse
Thomas, Bill McAfee, Jack Rus
sell and others. Maybe they'll
reach that form expected of them
sooner than expected. It isn't
