PASTOR, DOWN SIX TIMES, WAS
 LOUIS VICTIM
Game Challenger Lasts il Rounds After r Four
 KnOckdOwns in First
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Detroit, Sept. 21.-(UP)-Joe Louis, monarch of maui, stood out today as one of the most isolated figures in the history of pugilism-a champion without a worthwhile challenger, following his eighth title defense.
 Fast-stepping Bob Pastor attained new ring fame at Briggs Stadium last night by postponing his knock out until the 11th round, just as Tony Galento had done in June by postponing his finish until the 4th
 Louis is such @ great fighter, his opponents command worldwide ad- miration when they make any kind of a showing against him. He shuffles across the rings of the world alone. Who is there left to fight him, now that he has knocked out brave Pastor in the 11th round before 33,800 fans in the Tigers ball park?
 Pastor looked great in getting kayoed. He was floored four times in the first round, once in the sec- ond, and again in the 11th when he took the 10-count, trying to support his battered, bloody body on his hands and knees.
 Down Six Times
 Six times the former New York U., fullback hit the deck, sprawled each time by a smashing right to the chin. Most of those starboard blows were crosses that smoked over Pastors left jabs. They were double crosses, because Pastor and his handlers had expected that Louis would concentrate on left hooks the port-side blows with which Louis won the title and to its seven seven previous defenses.
 Pastor had evaded those left hooks in his first meeting with Louis in '37, when he lasted 10 full rounds. And he trained eight long weeks to avoid them this time. But the Bomber and his willy trainer, Jack Blackburn, crossed up Bicycle" Bob. Joe's left saw little service, but that explosive right fist worked over- time.
 Out of nowhere came that bolt of brown lightning to floor the shorter, ,, fair skinned challenger for counts of two, nine, seven and none in the first session. Pc rhaps the bell saved the 183-pound challenger in the first round, because he rose groggily without a count after his fourth trip, just as the gong sound-

flat on his feet. Up, up from his ankles the muscles started flowing toward his shoulders. Like the glide of a snake the power rolled upward, gathering force as it went.
 Then it reached the point of de- livery, all the strength of his 200 pounds. For just second he drew bead, measuring Pastors face with his outstretched left hand.
 The target crossed the sight. The right hand went. It really went. With muzzle velocity equal to that of a A it caught Pastor on the chin.
 Bob's head flew sideways like that of man dropped through gallowS trap. His mouth opened and his eyes rolled. Then he pitched for ward, landing on his hands and knees. In that position-like child with his blocks-he was counted out.
 Unexcitable
 At the count of 10 another chal- lenger had been finished off, and Louis, scarcely marked, pulled his blue bathrobe about him and walk ed quietly to his dressing room. He didn't jump up in the air in the ring and yell and clasp his hands over his head or in any way make a play for the crowd. He is, once g job is done, the most mild hammered champion we ever had.
 How many times have you ever heard of Louis between fights Never in any trouble, he drops quietly into the background unti he is summoned forth to knock of another challenger. His business i. fighting, nothing else. Fighting i dirty business as g. whole, but the colored boy from 'Bama has done g lot to lift it from the gutter. He is the cleanest fighter in the ring today. He never has thrown a low punch, and he has never squawkee about the dozens that have landed on time. His ring manners are i'm. peccable, and try to name heavy. weight champion before him o1 which that could be said.

REDS AND CARDS FIGHT HARD IN
 HOME STRETCH'
Cincinnati 21z Games Up, l3 to Play-Pirates May
 Hold Key to Pennant
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Limited Press Staff Correspondentl


 New York, Sept. 21-(UP)-The Cincinnati Reds, it became increas- ingly apparent today under the pressure of the September stretch drive, are two different kinds of a ball club.
 They are very good when Bucky Walters or Paul Derringer is on the pitching mound. They are very bad when anybody else pitches.
 Walters was in the box yesterday, and they beat the Phillies, 3-2, and preserved their 1-2 game National League lead. AS horrible as the Reos were when the Phils slugged them, 13-1, Tuesday, they played clean, errorless ball yesterday and three times came from behind to enable Walters to win his 18th game.
 Walters himself scored the win- ming tally in the ninth. He was hit by a pitched ball thrown by Boom Boom" Beck, took second on Wer- bers sacrifice, and scored on Ival the Terrible Goodman's single after Frey had been purposely passed. Freys homer had previously tied the score.
 In scoring his 26th win Walters hung up his fifth straight and went the route for the 29th time in 33 starts. He is the first National League hurler to win 26 games since Carl Hubbell turned the trick in 1886.
 With Paul Derringer following Walters to the mound today, the Reds case is slightly improved but they cannot afford to revert to their form of 48 hours ago again this season. They have 13 games left, one with the Phils today, eight with the Pirates, and four with the Cards.
 Clinging desperately to pennant hopes, the Cardinals slugged Hugh Casey out of the box and battered the Dodgers, 10-4, for their third straight. Stu Martin hit a homer with two on and Don Gutteridge hit one with the bags empty. Bob Bowman was the winner although he had to have relief after 6 .2-3 innings.
 Mound Duel
 Carl Hubbell outdueled Bill Lee to score his 10th victory as the Giants triumphed over the Cubs, AZ. Hub gave up only eight hits Jurges' single, a sacrifice. Young's scratch hit, and Danning's sacrifice fly produced the winning run.
 Cleveland took over undiSputed possession of third place in the American League as the Indians conquered Washington, 7-2. Mel Harder set the Senators down with six hits. The Indians scored five runs in the first inning before any, body was retired.
 The Tanks scored thei r101st vic- tory by defeating the White Sox. 8-4. Steve Sundra won his 1lth straight game although giving up Il hits, including homers by Kuhel and Rosenthal.
 Frank Hayes triple in the 18th enabled the Athletics to nose out the Tigers, 5-4. He scored by beat ing Hank Greenberg's throw to the plate after Gantenbein's grounder,
 The Browns slugged out 22 hits. but 1t took them IS innings to beat the Red Sox, 1l-8.

 Then, in the 11th, he reverted to type, became the or Black Joe that we know. He heard those ungentle voices calling-calling for knock out So he bent that head of his little low, shuffled in, and settled

enthusiasm as the possibilities re-
veal the growing tendency of lace
producers to supply a type for every
need.
The illustration presents three dis
tinct types of frocks fashioned of
lace. A new medium for the tailored
sheer dress which will be found ever
so practical for summer wear, is an
interesting conventionally patterned
two-tone lace as pictured to the left
in the group. Bruyere designed this
dress which has a grosgrain ribbon
belt and two ribbon bows on the
shoulder.
Utterly feminine and charming is
the afternoon dress shown in the
foreground to the right. Vera Borea
designs this lovely frock of deli
cate but firm lace that delineates
big florals with sheer mesh between.
The ruffles around the neckline and
on the sleeves are indicative of Par
is trends. In this dress Of horizon
blue lace the ruffies lend a be-
guiling feminine note with no sug-
gestion of fussiness. For summer
afternoon wear and informal eve
nings, there is wide favor expressed
for pastel laces.
An interesting feature of sheer
afternoon lace frocks is that many
are worn over costume slips in con-
trasting color. Dark laces, very
sheer, are also worn over light foun-
dation slips. The monotone effect
that demands matching color for
the slip is equally good style.
The model in the center shows an
evening dress designed by Molly
neaux. 1t demonstrates how pleas
ingly sheer lace yields to pleated
treatments. The straight-ftted
sheath skirt is finely pleated, and
the dramatic balloon sleeves are
likewise pleated. The deep square
decolletage is noteworthy.

Pleated Skirt in
Summer Fabrics

Skirts and blouses are usually on
the wane by the time really warm
weather sets in and the lightweight
suit usually is the only opportunity
for continuing this casual style. But
not so this year, at least if the prom
inence of spun rayon, linen and cot
ton skirts are any indication.
The pleated an-round skirt is es-
pecially good in summer fabrics,
which may account for the increased
popularity, and not only the skirt
departments but the blouse and
summer sweater departments are
preparing for much activity instead
of a lessening of it.
The practically of the skirt and
blouse or sweater is undeniable. 1t
is easy to have a number of changes
at little outlay and there is less ne
cessity of laundering than with
number of one-piece frocks.

Feminine Frills
On ShirtWaists

Sportswear is not being neglected,
even among the frills and ruffles of
the majority of feminine clothes,
and the shirtWaist is making a con-
spicuous appearance, changed in
some cases by the addition of pleat-
ed and gathered fullness, but still
basically the same.
In some instances this style is
seen with additional color contrasts,
among them one shirtwaist dress
with rose top and navy skirt, an
other with a pink and white striped
top and pink shirt, and others solid
pastel shirtwaist frocks with con-
trasting bright cummerbunds

lace, lovely lace! With the new
styles going in SO enthusiastically for
feminine prettiness in hat, gown and
accessories, the logical answer needs
must be lace, as has been the
answer throughout the centuries of
fashions that have gone before.
With the craze for lace trims on

throat and at wrist, with the return
of the ''baby waist that is exquis-
itely sheer and entrancingly lace

You just have to let the bigness Of
the lace theme grow upon you as the
pageantry of present and coming

The important thing to say about
modern laces is that they are so
versatile in character that there's
lace for every occasion no matter
what the challenge may be. For
that matter it is not an exaggera-
ton to say that an entire wardrobe
could be planned of lace. There are
fabriclike laces for tailored use,
stunning laces for afternoon frocks,
laces of grand dame elegance for
formal evening wear, sheer laces of
cobweb mesh that pleat up beauti-
fully, two-way stretch laces for bath
ing suits and so on and so on without
