Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent)

New York, Aug. 23-(UP)-Arthur Donovan is the new lightweight box ing champoin of the world.
 He is a bit fat for the title, par ticularly in the head. But he won it for Lou Ambers by rendering a decision as questionable as a mon- grel's paternity.
 Donovan, who should run, not walk, to the nearest optician, gave Ambers five rounds because of low blows struck by Henry Armstrong. Not only were these blows no more damaging to Ambers than bb gun to the Maginot line, Donovan in watching for them forgot to watch what Ambers was doing to Arm strong.
 Ambers Butts Plenty
 My eyes were sharpened by pick ing boil wevils off cotton in Georgia and I saw the new champion Don- ovan Ambers. as I shall call him from here out) strike as many non- Emily Post blows as did the victim. In close, Ambers qualified for any exclusive goat society by putting from here to wonder and he never apologized when he took his elbow and hit with it. Ambers was particu- larly good with his elbows and must have spent weeks in training get ting them in good condition.
 Armstrong did the same thing. What I'm trying to get at is that it was not a fight between a ruffian and Lord Fauntleroy, but battle for title that both men wanted.
 Armstrong was guilty of fouls, yes. But so was Ambers. AS for the actual fighting, minus fouls, there was no comparison between the two Jnen. Armstrong beat the daylights out of his pinch-faced opponent. Three times he had him rubber-legged and ready to go down and perhaps could have finished him off if his hands had been the hands of the Arm strong of two years ago. Ambers was game, fast and sharper hitter than when he lost his title to Armstrong punch against 10 and simply isn't

last year, but he threw only one in the class of the negro boy as a fighter.
 Nicknamed Referee
 Arthur Donovan, whom I shall nickname the referee, had another peculiar hSbit during last nights fight. If someone in his family had been hanged he could not have had greater dread of the rope. When ever Armstrong, who is at his best when he drives an opponent against the ropes and works on him there. unanswered Ambers into this posi- tion, Donovan would leap across the ring like grey-hannel Nijinsky and separate the combatants. It was not as if they were in clinch because they weren't, but simply standing face to face throwing punches. I have no explanation for this be- havior and neither did Armstrong in his dressing room.
 But let us not get alarmed over the matter. The two men are booked for a third engagement in Novem- Der and while I am not sure that justice will triumph I have solid conviction that Armstrong will.
 In the meantime, Ambers will serve as an adequate champion. His habits are exemplary. He will fight any fit challenger. Besides, it will give Armstrong much needed rest. But remember that tip gave you on the North in the Civil war? Well, that was long-shot guess compared to the one I give you ow:Armstrong to lick him easily the next time out, and Donovan too, for that matter. If you disagree, write me care of the dead letter office.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Limited Press Staff Correspondent)

Limited Press Staff CorrespondenN
 New York, Aug. 23-(UP)-The rumor that the Yanks are suckers for night baseball is unfounded. but definitely. Before 50,000 persons packed into Comiskey Park last night in Chicago, the Yankees teed off with five homers, three triples, a double, and sundry singles to win their first nocturnal game from the White Sox, 14-5.
 It took the Tanks six frames to get squared away. With the count tied, 5-5, going nto the seventh they blasted in nine runs in the last three innings. Clint Brown, making his 48th relief appearance, was slugged for five hits in the final inning. The Tanks lifted their home run total to g for 10 straight games, a new major league record.
 Crosetti. Dahlgren, Gordon, Rolfe and DiMaggio hit the homers; Rolfe, Keller and Russo hit the triples; and Crosetti got the double. Marius Russo gave up seven hits to win his third American League game.
 Teller Wins 18th
 Bob Teller scored his 18th triumph to tie Red Ruffing for the American League leadership in victories when he pitched Cleveland to a GA vic- tory over Washington last night be- fore a crowd of 14,981. Teller broke his own record for control by walk ing only one man. His prevous low mark was two passes. He gave up nine hits, one of them homer by Buddy Lewis with two on. The In- dians put on a six-run rally in the sixth to rout Ken Chase.
 The Red Sox kept pace with the Tanks by defeating the Browns, 10-3, behind Denny Galehouse's sev- en hit pitching. Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 8 and Ted Williams slugged his 18th with two mates on.
 Tommy Bridges won his 18th, pitching Detroit to a 9-4 win over the Athletics. Charlie Gehringer. back at second for the Tigers, clouted his 10th home rand double.
 The Reds, Cards, and Cubs all took tumble in the goofy National League race. Kirby Higbe, the pitch- CT the Cubs gave away to the Phils, scored his fourth straight and his ninth victory by blanking the Reds, 40.
 Cards Beaten Again
 The Dodgers slapped the Car dinals down again, 8-5. Hugh Casey held the Cards safely until the ninth when Vito Tamulis had to come to his rescue. The Card" made 15 hits but squandered them. Second Base man Jimmy Brown was knocked un- conscious when he collided with Johnny Mize while his mother sat in the stands watching Ter first big league game. Brown and Mize were going after 6 relay from the out field.
 Cliff Melton held the Cubs to eight hits and won his third straight as the Giants triumphed. Az. Hom- CTS by Moore and Demaree clinched the game in the first inning.
 Pittsburgh slugged out IA hits and beat the Bees, 8-2. Elbie Fletcher drove in three runs against his ex- mates.
