FeIIer HurIs Cleveland
TO II Victory: PhiIIies
Continue Winning Streak
Passeau Sets Down
Giants as PhiIs
Take Fourth

NEW YORK, April 26 lUP)-Os-
car Wits lot with the Cleveland
Indians isn't exactly a bed of roses
but there's one ball player in the
wigwam'S motley collection of prima
donnaS. screwbals and tempera-
mental artists who is a JOY forever
to Uncle Os'S" heart.
Bullet Bob Feller is only 20
but he is everybodyS choice to be
the No. l pitcher of the American
league this season. When Feller
goes. Witt can flash that happy
smile of his and forget his trou-
bleS.
Feller made his second appear
ance of the year yesterday and
when he was through he had moved
into that small select group of
major leaguers who've started
twice and won twice with a IL
victory over the White Sox.
Three other pitchers joined Eel
ler in winning their second starts,
making seven major leaguers who
have won two and lost none. Red
Ruffing. who led American league
pitchers in victories last year with
81. won his second but the victory
may prove costly. After giving the
AS five hits in five innings, he
retired with a pulled elbow liga-
ment. 1t vii! take a few days to
tell how serious the injury is. It's
at least likely to cost Ruffing his
next turn on the mound.
After Ruffing departed, Bump
Hadley finished for him as the
Yanks drilled the AS. 81. The
Yanks kept up their one-a-day
home run program with George
Selkirk getting a round tripper with
two mates on.
Other hurlers to get into the %
and 0" class were Big Bill Lee,
Chicago Cubs ace. who let the
Pirates down with eight hits as the
defending champs won. 5-3. and
Luke Hamlin. who pitched the
Dodgers to a 80 victory over the
Bees.
Those surprising Phillies won
their fourth straight game by
humping the Giants again, 81.
Claude Passeau. who pitched five
hit ball for eight innings. weak
ened in the ninth and was rescued
by Jim Henry Gilly Brack. Phils'
Outfielder. had a for f." includ-
ing a homer and a double to drive
in four tallies.
Whitley Moore hurled Cincinnati
to a 81 triumph over the Cardin-
ais for the Reds third straight win,
The Boston Red Sox beat Wash
ington, 6-5, in II innings on Jimmy
Foxx's second homer of the sea-
son. The ST. Louis Browns trim
med Detroit. To. behind the six
hit hurting of John Henry Kramer,
21-year-old rookie from San An
tonic.

against experience, ring craft and
buzz-Saw attack and valley fight
fans were about evenly divided in
selecting the winner.
Those fans who saw Bobby Pacho
start his ring campaign in the FL
Centro arena ten years ago favored
the fast moving Mexican cam
paigner, while those who watched
Herman Graves elaughter every
opponent who ever climbed thu
the ropes in Ell Centre, gave Graves
the edge.
Pacho, who was on the verge Of
winning the welterweight cham
pionship of the world on a dozen
occasions, but who never quite made
the grade, is one of fightdomS
classiest performers.
For ten years ne has remained
near the top, has met all corners
and has made an outstanding show
ing against every man he ever
tossed gloves at.
Pacho is an accomplished boxer,
and his ability TO ward off punish
ing blows may enable him to send
Bomber Graves to his first defeat

Bobby Pacho, the marks of 35C

arena in El Centre where he fought
his first professional bout ten years
ago. and declared he would defeat
Herman Graves.

The well-built Mexican Indian
whose professional fight adventures

the ring with the Bomber, but he
left not a trace of doubt as to who
he thought would win.

Contrary to the belief Of most
