Pitchers Keeping Reds
In Old League Van

The Reds are hot right now
hotter than they have been at any
time-hotter than they were when
they won the pennant last year.
They are so hot that the pennant
not only has been virtually con-
ceded to them, but they also will
be favored to win the World Series,
no matter which club wins in the
American League.
The reason? Chiefly the pitching
In Paul Derringer and Bucky Wal
ters they have the best pair of
pitchers in either league. Swinging
along with them are Gene Thomp-
son, Lloyd Moore and the veteran
Jim Turner. With that bunch to
do their pitching, the Reds are
slump-proof.
The Dodgers can hit, have one OF
the best infields in either league
and plenty of hustle and fight. But
their pitching has been spotty all
year and their pitching has pulled
them down.
The Indians have been in and out
of first place most of the way.
They have pretty good punch, a
fine second base combination in
Bourdreau and Mack-and, above
all, the pitching of Feller and Mil
mar and Smith.
The Red Sox have Jimmy Foxx,
Doc Cramer, Dom Di Maggie. Lou
Finney, Joe Cronin, Ted williams,
Bobby Doerr-and no pitching. No.
body has moved up to take the
place of Old Nose Grove, who kept
them from skidding last year.

Jeffra Gets Verdict
In Baltimore Over
Spider Armstrong
Stamina Helps Feather
Champ to Unanimous
l5-Round Decision
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, July 30-Its not
for nothing that Harry Jeffra. the

His clean living. superb physical
condition and ability to take it"

Right Hand Helps Harry.
The Spider sought desperately to
weave web of anesthetizing blows
around the champ, but Jeffra re-
fused to play the fly. Instead Of.
going into the Spiders parlor, he
came in the back door and tore
down the Spiders web with his good
right hand.
For the first half OF the 15-round
fight it looked as if Armstrong,
poking his left into Jeffra's face,
stabbing his stomach and driving in
under the champions right. might
lift the crown that Jeffra won by
beating Joey Archibald in May.
But Jeffra took all that Armstrong
had to offer and as the fight wore
on he appeared to grow stronger
while the challenger was forced to
slow the terrific race he had set.
The turning point came in the
18th round. Armstrong was backed
into Jeffras corner. There the
champion caught him with a wicked
overland right to the head that
floored the Spider. He took no
count. but that blow slowed up his
attack

From there on in it was Jeffra' S

from an eye cut opened in the 10th.

Local American Legion Boys
Rated Promising as Future
Major League Material

American Legion junior baseball
goes big time today in Washington,
moving to Griffith Stadium for a
crucial game and giving the boys a
taste of the major league atmosphere
toward which some of them may be
headed.
The occasion is a game between
Fort Stevens and Sergt. Jasper

take the second-half crown should
they win. If Stevens wins, which is
not impossible, there will be a four

though, is not particularly important
in the broad picture of American
Legion Junior baseball. country
wide activity sponsored Jointly by
the Legion and by the two major
leagues. Each season the American
and National Leagues dig down into
their treasures and donate s25.000
each for Junior legion ball. the only
outside baseball activity backed by
both big circuits. Some individual
big league teams have their own
local promotions such as the St.
Louis Cardinals "Knothole Gang"
to interest American youth in base
ball. but Junior legion ball is the
only countrywide activity supported
in part by the two big leagues with
that tidy sum of s50,00O-and they
find that it pays.
Nationals Have Benefited.
1t pays in production of promising
players under competent supervision.
| The Washington Nationals, for ex-
ample. have benefited from their

Jimmy Pofahl. Joe Haynes, George
Case and Buddy Lewis are among
the current Mats who in their youth
played Junior legion ball. and Tony
Giuliani and Mickey Vernon. erst-
while Mats, also are former Legion
juniors.
Other teams have the same ex-
perience. Joe Gordon and Babe

Laabs and Joe Gallagher of the
Browns: Bobby Doerr, Ted Williams
and Jim Bagby Of the Red Sox;
Bobby Feller of the Indians; Eric
McNair, Mike fresh and Johnny
Rigney of the White Sox, to name
only few from the top of the list.
are included on the roster of lads
who got their early baseball training
in Legion ball. Every team in both
big leagues has at least one player
from the crowd. Altogether it is
estimated that $50, give or take a
few, former Legion junior players
have hit the big time. and there are
uncounted numbers in the minors.
It's all part of the Legion Amerl-
canism program. Baseball is the
grand American game. The Legion
and the big leagues back this pro-
gram to keep the boys off the street
and interested in something worth
while during the summer months.

BRIDGEBORO, N. j., July 30
Joe Burk, world singles sculling
champion, also wants posterity to
remember him for his peaches.
But Burk, the peach grower, is
going to have difficulty catching
up with Burk, the sculler. For Burk,
the sculler is common name in
lighthouses throughout the world,
but the peach grower is just an
other guy named Joe.
On the sculling side Of the ledger
the red-headed fruit farmer has two
Diamond Sculls Trophy victories,
three Canadian singles champion
ships (he won the last of those
last week end at Port Dalhousie)
four American amateur singles IT,
ties and possession of the S5 900
Philadelphia Gold Challenge Cup
denoting the worlds amateur singles
title.
On the side of fresh fruit Joe
has an orchard and ambitions One
ambition is to help New Jersey
catch up with Georgia and the Caro-
linas as tops in the peach-growing
world. The other is to develop a
white-meat. fat. juicy peach about
the size of a cantaloupe.
Joe pointed out this probably
will take little grafting-"It some
times takes 100 experiments to pro-
duce a really fine peach it s
his life work between races and
he's going to stick to it.
Burk started out at the University
of Pennsylvania. He pulled on Rusty
Callow's varsity eight in 1932-33-34
Immediately thereafter he dropped
the other seven men in the boat.
He practices his sculling on Ran
cocas Greek near his 80-acre farm.
With the rhythm of his long clean
strokes come ideas for better peaches.
Along with his peaches. Burk
grows apples. One reason is that he
likes applesauce for his breakfast
when he arises at am.
Burk, who does his rowing under
the colors of the Pennsylvania Ath-
letic Club of Philadelphia, has about
as much competition in the rowing
world as Joe Louis has in the ring.
But with peaches, it's different.

Aces Drive for Semi Berths

Semifinalists who will meet in the
upper half of the Women's Tennis
League draw were to be determined
today at the Rock Creek courts, with

Keever favored to win and thus set
the stage for a replay of an earlier
match between them which, at the

quite seems to justify the promise
inherent in her apparently we'll
rounded game. Mrs. Keever, the
losing finalist in the public parks
tournament, was to take on Lib
Sewers, who has been beaten only
by the best this season.
If Miss Decker and Mrs Keever
come through, as expected, the
former will have a chance to avenge
an unexpected defeat in the parks
tourney, for it was in that competi-
ton that Mrs. Keever sprang into
the spotlight by whipping Miss
Decker, 2-6, Ga, 60. Miss
Decker's 6-3, 60 conquest of Bar

Keever had a little trouble before

Cards Getting Nowhere
On Hitting Alone

Meanwhile, the Cardinals are in
fifth place-and remember that in
the spring they were rated as the
chief menace of the Reds-and were
picked by many to win the pennant?
There was no establishment then
about the quality of the Cardinal
pitching. But the dope was that
even if it just picked up a little
bit, MedWick-then in a Cardinal
uniform-and Mize and Slaughter
and Padgett and Martin and the
rest of that mauling crew would
batter down the enemy. Well, they're
all there still, except Medwick. and
Joe's passing to the Dodgers didn't
weaken the Cards. But they're in
fifth place because they can't get
the pitching.
Lots of things have happened to
the Yankees since they opened the
season heavily backed to win a fifth
pennant in row. Joe Di Maggie
was hurt and out of the lineup for
q while. Bill Dickey and Joe Cor
don faltered. Until recently the
famed attack couldn't function with
consistency.
But the main fault was the pitch
Ing. Charley Ruffing and Vernon
Gomez waned and the youngsters
Breuer and Russo didn't move up to
take their places In a spot like
that Pearson and Hadley and Hide
brand weren't strong enough to
carry the burden. and even Johnny

years, went into a tailspin.
