'THE DAYS
So PARADE
By Harry Ferguson

NEW YORK, July 80. (UP)-The
tangle at Madison Square Garden
never will be listed among Creasy's
decisive battles of the world, but
it is an interesting demonstration
of whether a man can defeat the
dark doubts that swarm in his own
mind.
A shorter way of saying it would
be that Billy Soose, middleweight
champion of the world, finds out
whether he can lick a jinx.
Soose is an intelligent, speedy
boy. He is a classy boxer and he
can throw a knockout punch with
his right. He seems to have every
thing man needs to lift him above
the mob and make him a true
champion.
But tonight the jinX of his career
stood squarely across his trail. He
is fighting George Abrams, a man
who defeated him twice before
Soose fought his way to recognition
by New York state as middleWeight
title holder. There isn't a doubt in
any ones mind that Soose is the
better fighter. And it isn't just
sentiment, either, because the bet
ting commissioners, who have all
the warm sympathy and sentimen-
tality of a berg in the Antarctic,
made him a 7 TO favorite before
the fight.
Let's leave it to the psychiatrists
and philosophers to figure out how
one fighter can be a jinx to an
other. There's no doubt that it's

NEW YORK, july 80. up
There's an adage in major league
baseball that pitching wins pen
nants in the National league" but
it apparently won't turn out that
way if either the st. Louis Cardi-
nails or the Brooklyn Dodgers win
the l941 flag.
Neither team has a pitching staff
that can put two nine inning pitch
ers on the Line for two consecutive
days.
The Cards lead the league by
two games. They have six regulars
hitting 800 or better and two bench
warmers over that figure. They
have speed TO burn and a darn
good manager in Billy Southworth.
But their pitching staff has stag
gered SO under the pace that 81
hurlers have gone to the mound in
their last nine games.
Its much the same with Brook
lyn. Leo Durocher IS one Of the
hustlingest, trigger-quick managers
in baseball. He has a crackerjack
infield and a phenomenal young
hitter in Pete Reiser. But % hurl-
ers have trudged to the box in the
Dodgers last nine games.
The pitchers of both clubs were
