Mowers Drops
TO Tie for I'd
Broda Is Winner
as Bruins Get
Four Goals

BOSTON. March 49, Somewhat
disappointed in winding up their
season on the short end of a Al
score at the hands of the Bruins.
Detroit's Red Wings are home
ward bound. hopeful of getting
another crack at the Possmen this
year-in the finals Of the Stanley
Cup playoffs.
II wasn't the loss of the game
that bothered the Wings so much
as the fact that Goalie Johnny
Mowers lost his shot at the Vezina
Trophy by being beaten four times.
Those four goals raised Johnny's
total TO 102 TO put him in tie for
second with Boston's frankie
Brimsek.
The title went 10 Torontos
Turk Broda. who was outguessed
a mere 80 times.

COWLEY DOES 1T

In justice TO Mowers. il took an
expert to put him out of the run
ming Cowboy Bill Cowley. the
leagues leading scorer. belted
home the first two goals that told
the story. The final pair of tallies
came in the last minute of play
when Detroit had everybody down
the ice but the trainer.
When Cowley tipped his second
goal into the strings. young
fellow in green nat, seated in a
box near the scene of action. let
out one whale of a war whoop.
Investigation uncovered the fact il
was none other than Turk Broda.
That second goal not only gave
him the Vezina Trophy but won
him a bonus of $1,000.
As for the game itself. there was
little in the way of excitement. In
fact, IL was one of the dullest
games ever played at the Boston
Garden. With both clubs looking
ahead to the playoffs and neither
willing to risk injury. they did
little more than go through the
motions most of the night.

in the big show if they were not the property of the St. Louis Ma tionals.
 Like the Cardinals, the Yankees step out and get 'em.
 The New Works have so many competent chuckers with their Newark branch that the Interna- tional League race is strictly no contest. There's Jack Lindell, Allan Gettel, Hank Borowy, George Washburn, Russ Christo- pher and Tommy Byrnes. The first feur had trials with the Yankees in the spring.
 Christopher is 8 right-hander standing six feet three. He has won 10 and lost 4.
 Byrnes is the Wake Forest Col lege left-hander whom Ed Bar row paid well to sign.
 HEAD IS RATED NEXT
 TO WYATT AND HIGBE
 Some members of the Brooklyn organization consider Ed Head of Montreal a better pitcher than any member of the Dodger staff except Whitlow Wyatt and Kirby Higbe. In Chet Kehn of the Royals, Flatbush has a right-hander of the Tommy Bridges type.
 The White sox recently pur- chased Stanley Goletz, a strap ping left-hander who attracted attention with Oklahoma City.
 The Red Sox staff bucked up with the recall of Tex Hughson from Louisville.
 Freddie Hutchinson again has the slickest record in the minors with Buffalo, but 1t has been demonstrated that the Seattle lad is not fast enough to pitch in the majors. Hal White, another De- troit hopeful with the Bisons may suffer from the same handi- cap.
 Ken Burkhart, of Syracuse achieved his second straight shut out by halting a Newark winning streak at seven the other night Rochester was the young right handlers previous victim. The Giants are banking on Har- ry Feldman of Jersey City. The Club thinks highly of Hugh East

RIVALS CLASH SUNDAY
 AT CITY STADIUM
Steve Wood and Mike
 Kissko to Pitch It Out; Pals vs. Tribes

Tomorrow afternoon at the Muni cipal Stadium on Watertown av. enue, the most attractive twin baseball bill of the year will get under way promptly at 1:45 when the Sacred Heart Pals and the Tribune A. C. of lower Baldwin Street have it out to see which of the two will enter in the coming league play-offs, since both clubs are at the present, tied for fourth place, the last spot that qualities Q team for the said playoffs. But that is only half of the show. The "big" game of the day on the same field at 4 D. m. sees the long await ed battle between the Brooklyn A. 0. and the league leading North End Thomas Club to determine the first place slot in the standing Right now the Tommies are on the top of the league standing with eight triumphs against one defeat and incidentally, that lone defeat was handed to them on opening day when the Pals pinned an l1-2 setback on them. Since then the North Finders have swept over all kinds of opposition, winning eight in e row but today they will meet their acid test, for the Brooks have lot of former college stars ir their lineup and are rated by man, as the best team of the league de spite their second place standing. May Be Deadlock
 Should the Brooks knock off thu pace settlers tomorrow, 1t vii throw the race into @ deadloci for then the Boys from across tn bridge and the Tommies will shart the spotlight and another gam, between the two will have to b. played again next week to breaE the headlock to see which of tho pair will play the winner of the Pal-Tribe game, the fourth place team of the league. The present set-up, the round robin or play offs as 1t Is sometimes called, call for the first place team of tho standing at the end of the second round, to play the fourth place team while the second and thirt teams also meet to determine which of the two meet the winner of the first and the fourth place teams in the two out of three series that decides the champions.
 Rival Pitchers
 The Tommies are out to win to. morrow in order to keep theii winning streak intact and also to prevent the Brooks from sneaking in on them. Mike Kissko, the Tor rington star, will work for the North Enders while big Steve Woo6 will twirl for the Brooks although Coach Eddie DiNapoh may sprini a surprise and send Joey Jay tc the hill.
 Tn the opener, the Tribe-pal af. fair will really be something tc watch for the loser will be elim- mated from further play this sea- son, and therefore both clubs will shoot the works" in an effort to remain in the race. Dom Gurrera, Hop Hopper or Lefty Pershing will be on the hill for Packy Shea's boys while Freddie Jacavino will go for the Pals.
 League President Joe Brophy has assigned two umpires on each game ard extra police protection will be on hand to handle the expected largest crowd of the season.

Trucks, Pollett Head Bright Pitching Prospects In Minors
Cards Have
 Young Hurlers Of All Types
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Shorts Editor


 There's no telling what some ma jor league managers wouldn't give for 8 couple more pitchers who could see the first and ninth innings of the game from the box-the pitchers box, not a ringside pew.
 But 1t is not because the minors haven't a full supply of young hurlers of promise. Seldom has there been more talented elbow ing prospects toiling in Double A and A leagues.
 It's just that the stars of the fu- ture either are not in the chains of the clubs that sadly need their services or that they require 8 bit more seasoning.
 The St. Louis Cardinals are well fixed as usual.
 The average big league club is fortunate to have one good kid pitcher in camp in the spring. The Red Birds had five when the cur- rent campaign started - Howard Krist, Ernie White, Sam Nahem, Hank Gornicki and Johnny Grod- ztcki.
 Gornicki, and Grodzicki were returned to Rochester and Colum- but, respectively, the former as a reward for pitching a one-hit- ter against the Phillies in his one National League start.
 While Virgil Oliver Trucks, a 22-year-old, 195-pound right handler belonging to Detroit, gen. orally is regarded as the biggest prize in the minors at the mo- ment, the Cardinals have 8 strong candidate for that honor in How ard Pollett, Houston southpaw.
 Fire Trucks struck out 14 for Buffalo in 148 innings.
 Pollett won 20 for the Bluffs in 1940 and the last time I looked he had IA this trip against two defeats. He pitched for the South in the 2-0 shut-out of the North in the Texas Leagues all-star game.
 MARTIN MAJOR LEAGUER FAST AS TELLER
 Billy Southworth, manager of the Red Birds, says Fred Martin, who has bagged IA for Houston, would help most major league clubs, but he expects to be inducted into army in a month. The Cardinals have an efficient pair with New Orleans in Al Jurisich and Johnny Beazley.
 Big Al Hollingsworth's arm healed on the coast and he is as- sisting Fred Munger in pitching to 8 pennant.
 The Red Birds Rochester sub- sidiary has Herschel Lyons, who has variety of stuff, and 19- year-old Max Surkont, who op- ponents contend is a swift as Bob Teller. The Columbus store has Murray Dickson and another one or two who easily might be

big crowd is in Yankee Stadium. So many people are smoking that haze floats above the grandstand.
 SOME MADE GOOD
 The summer heat wiltS some rokieS and raises others to the boil ing point of stardom. Last March the most promising young ball play CTS seemed to be Phil Rizzuto and Gerald Priddy of the Yankees, Lou Novikoff of the Cubs and Harry Walker of the Cardinals.
 Rizzuto, after an unsteady start, is beginning to live up to his repu- tation, both afleld and at bat.
 Novikoff, a terror in the Coast league where he batted in the in- credible number of I'll runs, found that the curves thrown by major league pitchers were somewhat dif- ferent from those he had been ac- customed to. He was sent to the minors where he seems to be re- covering his batting eye.
 Walker just didn't have the stuff. Priddy seemed to be suffering from stage fright when he first came up. but hts chances were hurt by the fact that the Yankees already had a pretty fair second basenaan named Joe Gordon.
 So one out four made good which baseball men say is c pretty good ratio.

TED WILLIAMS, REISER
 HOLD HITTING LEADS

New York, July 26. (UP)-Ted Will Hams, booming better of the Boston Red Sox, and Pete Reiser Brooklyn dynamiter continue to lead the bat ting races in their circuits, with Joe DiMaggio and Johnny Mize still breathing on their respective heels.
 Averages released today-includ- ing games of Thursday-show that Williams boosted his American League top figure by two points dur ing the week to a brilliant .397, while runner-up DiMaggio of the laundering Yankees held to his .375 mark.
 Tn the National division, Reiser's pace-setting average slumped slight ly to .339, but hard-hitting Johnny Mize of the contending Cardinals also faded slightly and registered .330.
 Howie Krist of the Cardinals took over pitching honors in the National League when Cncinnati's Elmer Riddle lost his first game after Il straight victories. Krist boasts a perfect record of seven wins. Mean while Bullet Bob Teller of Cleve- land took over the American mound leadership from Al Benton of De- troit with his 19 victories and five defeats.

Dusty Tennis League Notes

Chase Metal vs American Brass.
 The first round of the Industrial Tennis League will be completed Monday night, weather permitting. Mondays events are postponed matches from the first round.
 That tie between American Brass and Chase Ofice came about when Ray Bates of the Brass and Herb Pinter of Chase failed to complete their marathon setto. When they do, another victory will appear in the win colum for either, and loss for the loser.
 Captain Ed McGrath is complain ing because there is no competition for his Scovill team. Bill Geisker sends word that Scovills will get the battle of their lives.
 Shoe Hardware is considering en- erting the league for the second round. Frank Dillon may have de- finite word on it within a few days.
 The captains of the various Dusty teams request that any players in the factories who desire to play in the league matches, should contact them at their earliest. Ed McGrath is in charge at Scovills; George Flanagan at the American Brass; Bob Kramer at Chase Metal; Ed Jerman at the Chase Oftice; and Bill Geisker at the United Chroms ium.
 In the event that a factory has, mt enough players in it's own plant, they may draw from another plr.1. in a combination team.
 The Brassco doubles team of Floyd Taylor and Prank Bergin spoiled an otherwise perfect evening for scovllls Monday night by beat- ing the Ed Mc0rath-Ed Stevens duo In straight sets.

 New York, July 26.-(UP)-Scat- tered paragraphs containing scat tered thoughts:
 The fight mob just can't under stand Billy Soose, the middleweight champion. He ooes the darndest things. Such as saying: T don't think I should be seriously accepted as champion until I have defeated Georgie Abrams and Ken Overlin. Abrams beat me twice before I be- came champion and the decision l won over Overlin wasn't very Satis- factory" In 8 racket where the usual technique is to claim every thing in sight and never say good word for the other guy, Soose Is a mysterious character. The fight mob thinks he got that way because he went to college. Abrams will get another shot at SooSe in Madi- son Square Garden Wednesday night but 1t will be a non-title fight.
 Whats the world coming to de- partment-After the Findlay team of the Ohio State league defeated Fostoria, 2 to 1, a crowd collected around UmpireS Bendigo and Ward and congratulated them on the swell job they had done. The umpS were struck speechless. Unless this dan gerous and subversive trend is halt Cd. the first thing you know Jimmy Dykes will be saying a kind word about an umpire.
