Medwick was the fourth batter to

Hugh Casey, who relieved Hamlin
with two on and two out in the
tenth, walked Terry Moore, the first
man up in the eleventh.
Although Newt Kimball then took

bases loaded in the tenth inning
today to defeat the league-leading
Boston Red Sox, II to 7.
The Browns, rapidly convincing
even the skeptics that they are not

fought the Red Sox right down the
line, pushing a run across in the
ninth inning on Don Heffner's sim
gle, an error and Walter Judnich's
single to tie the score.
George McQuinn opened the
tenth by working Jim Bagby for
a base on balls. Harlond Cliff dou-
bled, McQuinn pulling up at third.
Lyn Larry batted for Bill Trotter,
the Browns winning pitcher, and
was passed intentionally. Berardi-
no then came through with the
grand slam.
1t was the fifth time during the
game that the Browns had filed
the bases.
They did it first in the third inn
ing when they rammed Fritz Os-
termueller, Boston's starting pitch
er, for four runs. Bobby Swift
opened the frame with a double
and Myril Hoag drove in the last
two runs with another two-bagger.
In the sixth, Cliff singled with

Doubles by Jimmy Foxx and Ted

single. Two errors helped Boston
to its last trio of runs in the sew
enth inning.
In the first of the tenth, the Sox
filled the bases with one out on

BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, June 10 -R 1t
there's anything to the old fistic
fad that your best belters must
be toughest in neck, legs and
wrists, then Arturo Godoy stands
a somewhat better chance against
Joe Louis in Yankee stadium
Thursday night than a raw steak
in a dog pound.
His neck particularly-a II IL
collar just about makes the circuit
has been pointed out. by old
timers as a lot sturdier article
than the one which adorns the
Brown Bomber. And old Harry
Wills, who has one of those tree
trunks between head and Shout,
ders, himself, comes up with the
explanation as to how it gets that
way.
It seems you spend a half hour
or so daily, week after week, hav.
ing a medicine ball bounced of
your chin. You does it gently
first, then harder and harder"
Harry says. Pretty soon, you got
a shock absorber there for punches

boxing men believe it was the rea.
ION the bomber couldn't bulge him
with his dynamite DIN their first
meeting last February. Nor, they
add, will Joe be able to do his
usual annihilating on the Chilean
chin this time.
Experts on cauliflower affairs
point out that while the South
Americans neck is short, thick
and powerful, built on the order
of a squat beer keg, Louis head
is perched on a long thin affair.
That, they say, was why fellows
like Max Schmeling, Tony Galento
and even the venerable Jack Roper
came along and hurt him with
shots to the chin. Nor does his
neck afford him the usual protec,
ton of a shield. It's too long for
him to drop his chin behind when
he comes out to pitch.
Despite what may be billed as
an edge for Arturo in neck and

roadwork at his training camp

NO Sel-Cpo wv"
Thew might never do it again,
but the way they are winning now
is enough for the rest of the Amer

that the Browns are no set-ups.

able combination of age and youth
"A combination that is sure to
cure the sick man of the Ameri-

Old St. Loo is beginning to perk
I'D all around anyway. With Joe

one connected with the national
pastime not to sell them too short.
And if that old team spirit that
made the gas, house gang a
household phrase crops up again,
look out for the Cards.
Louis Is Peeved
Joe Louis, nee Barrow, the for
mer Alabama field hand who work
ed for 90 cents a day and keep
and who now has has somewhere
between n and a half and two
million bucks in his heavyweight
championship hands, is reported
to be no less than peeved and
irked at the unkind things said
about him in connection with his
failure to knock out Arturo Godoy
back in February.
His feelings have been hurt. The
sports writers committed the un-
pardonable crime of saying that
he didn't look so good against the
Chilean fisherman.
Maybe Louis wasn't SO good
Maybe Godoy did make him lock
bad by Glowing for Is rounds.
But what we can't understand is
how anybody with two million dol
lars could have his feelings hurt
by anyone or anything.
Here and There
There are a thousand and one
things about baseball that the fans
take for granted. . Few know
that Bill Doak. a North carolinian
who attended Guilford college and
who pitched for the Cardinals and
Dodgers quite a few years back,
was the first player to lace the
thumb and first finger together in
a fielding glove to prevent hits to
the mound from squirting through
the fingers for a freak hit. He
patented the idea and at one time
drew an annual income of $4,000
in royalties from it. The game
with Carolina at Chapel Hill on
October IL is the only intersec-
tional game of any Importance on
