HE pudgy person of Benny Bort
nick, who weekly summons

wear today. for Benny pranced into
the proceedings at least two times too
many last night at Turner's Arena.
Joe Cox tossed Billy Hanson to the

set to catch the train winner, but
the customers didn't want Billy. so
he kept bouncing back and prolong-
ing the feature squirmfest.
That train just had to be caught.
so Cox devised the none -too-novel
method of terminating things by
socking the well-cushioned Bortnick.
Benny responded by disqualifying Cox
and awarding the match to Hanson.
George Lehman also was tempted
to bash Benny and yielded to temp

Dodgers May Throw Light.

TO CUT this short with a sweeping
sort Of an estimate, Mr.. Baugh now
is nearing completion of his third mile
of successful forward passing. He
gained 1928 yards with Texas Chris
tan. He played and starred in both
the Al-Star-Packers game in Chicago
and the All-Star- Chicago Bears game
in Dallas this Summer. And. in two
pro games he has picked up 297 yards
with passes. Doesn't that come close
to miles of passing, or will we have
to dip into calculus again?
Mr.. Flaherty probably is guilty of
rank under-statement when he calls
Baugh the best HEAVIER now making an
honest living out of foot ball. Sam
ought to be called the best of all time
on general principles, and. according
to the statistics, he is getting better.
Soph, junior, senior and :. pro. Look
back over his averages.
Of course, he has played only twice
as a pro. The Dodgers may have
