 Less than three weeks removed from his first scheduled game, the football coaching dentist confessed that unless a few good samaritans rustic him up some talent on the double quick he might not be able to field 8 team against the Chicago Bears on Sept. g. The situation at present isn't just bad; 1t Is critical and there is little chance of i'm. provement.
 For once I have reason for my pessimism," he said with a sickly sort of grin. Between them, the selective act and defense industries have taken away eight regulars. eight of the best draftees and cou- pie of free lance players. And to top all that, nine of the 30 men we have in camp here now are subject to call practically any day"
 Shelley Inducted
 The Brooklyn eleven has been hit harder by the selective service act than any other important sports squad in the United States. The sad news which greeted the doctor on awakening today was that Rhoten Shelley, the first string quarterback, had been iaducted at Fort Bragg, N. C.-narrowing his supply of backs from 13 to four and leaving him with just one signal caller and ex- actlv no right halfS
 Sutherland says the trouble is partly the fault of the Dodgers themselves. Last year when he took charge of the Brooklyn tetam the former University of Pittsburgh coach lifted the perennial cellar dwellers from last to third place in the National Professional league by trimming of the dead wood and im- porting carloads of young talent. This action proved boomerang.
 It was 8 good idea at the time ex- cept the young playerc Ca) hadn't had time to collect dependents, and (b) were just the sort of boys the army and navy seemed to want. For instance the Chicago Bears lost only

CARDS OF 1S42
 SEEN CARRYING MORE WALLOP
Three Mound Prospects From Houston Due
 To Make Good
Ry PAuL eCHEFFELs

United Press Stan Correspondents)
 New York, Aug. 20.-(UPl-EvenI If the St. Louis Cardinals produce the National 1c2gue pennant winner for 1941, look for next years outfit to be even stronger. The entire Red Bird club is fashioned slong youth full lines as 1t is and with an added year of experience will be just So much harder to beat. All that's taken for granted but what really gives the rest of the league the shudders is the trio of mound pros poets the Cards have coming up from Houston.
 It's the youthful pitching stars like Howie Krist, Max Lanier and Ernie White that molded the Car dinals into contender this year and the three-soIne composed of Fred Martin, Ted Wilks and Hod- ard Pollett. By August II they had won 51 games and lost nine. ~ Martin in Lead
 Martin registered 1S victories against only 3 losses, Pollett IT against 3 and Wilks IS against {. If just one of them comes through like White or Krist, who's going to stop the 1942 Cardinals?
 Generally acknowledged is the fact that the chief fault with the Washington Senators, in and out of last place in the American league all year, is a lack of good players, yet the neW-manager-fo for the-SenatorS movement continues apace. So far Clark Griffith has stuck to his policy and past record of never releasing a manager dur ing the season and has refused to comment one way or another on the job turned in by Bucky Har- riS. It's hard to believe, anyway, that two new managers could ef- feet any miracles with as sorry a club as the Senators.
 Root Goes On and On
 The Chicago Cubs honored the oldest major league player when they paid tribute to pitcher Char ley Root with a 'tday." Root has been with the Cubs for 16 years and of all of the men who came up to Chicago in 1926 when he moved in from Los Angeles, only Andy Lotshaw, trainer, is left. When Root joined the Bruins, Joe McCar- thy was manager and players on the teams included Charlie Grimm. Hack Wilson, Gabby Hartnett, She- riff Blake, Pat Malone, Guy Bush, Woody English, Molly Mcguire and Cliff Heathcote.
 Add the names of Carvell Powell of the Boston Braves and George Earnshaw, former major league pitcher, to those baseball players who are heading for the army and navy. Powell was notified to report for physical examination by his draft board at Citronelle, Ala, while Earnshaw became lieutenant in the Naval Reserves on July 26. He was assigned to the 4th Naval Dis- trtct and will assist in physical training.

Canton, Mass, Aug. 2o-(UP)- The 18th renewal of the National Negro golf championships, the scheduled start of which was post poned because of yesterdays pelt- ing rain, got underway at dawn today as the skies cleared and the fairways and greens dried at the state-owned Ponkapoag course.
 Six professionals had finished their rounds yesterday before the rain forced suspension of further play. More than half the field of ,S2 professionals, 1O8 amateurs and 70 women players had teed off be- fore officials ordered postponement.

gate but gave their pennant hopes a million dollar shot in the arm by helping them to knock down the tough Pirates twice.
 Only 0,3T2 fans turned out because of the forbidding weather but the Dodgers laughed at the clements and played like champs. Curt Davis handcuffed the Pirates in the open- CT, allowing only five hits and not allowing a Pirate to reach third. In the nightcap Tom Drake, the big righthander bought three weeks ago from Nashville, came through ad- mirably to win his first start. He alloyed only five hits until taken out for Q pinch-hitter in the ninth. Hugh Casey completed his job for him.
 The second game was played in the rain, and Manager Frankie FriSch was chased by the umpires when he stood in front of the Pirate bench with an umbrella over his head while the umpireS were con- ferring about calling the game. With the Pirates behind, To, in the early innings Frisch was yelling for the game to be called.
 The Yankees received q tough blow when they lost the services of Joe DiMaggio for possibly two weeks in dividing 6 twin bill with the Tigers. DiMaggio sprained his ankle in pulling up at second in the fourth inning and Tommy Henrich had to be shifted to center with George Sekirk taking over right. The Tigers slashed out l6 hits to win the open CT, 1923, pounding Marvin Breuer to cover. Marius Russo pitched the Tanks to an S-3 victory in the nightcap, winning his 18th game. Charlie Keller hit homer No. 30 in the opener. Henrich hit No. g and Gordon No. 2l in the Yanks' 16- hit attack in the nightcap.
 The White Sox chopped a game oil the Tanks lead-it's now 16

SUPER HURLING CARRIES TOBIN
 TO FOREFRONT
Five Out Of Six In July Won By Veteran Of
 Boston Braves
BY PAUL SCHEFFELs United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Aug. 2O--(UP)- Jim "Abbadabba" Tobin of the Boston Braves for individual ace honors and Cincinnati's Reds for the team prize. That's the score for the first half of the annual pitching staff battle-for-existence which the Ma. tional league pennant race annual. ly develops in the dog days.
 With the next heat-wave over- tapping the last one, two clubs struggling for first place, two more for a chance to get into the ton tussle and the rest yearning for a place in the first division, mid. summer in the senior league takes 8 terrific toll on the men of . pitching.
 Against that red-hot background, Boston's Jim Tobin stood out like a super pitcher in the July scene. and was the unchallenged Pitcher Of the Month. Ol' Jim pitched six complete games. He won five and lost the other to the St. Louis Cardinals July 20, only after a l2- inning duel Az. His comeback against the Cards five days later In St. Louis netted him 3-hit Shutout.
 Put Brakes on Pirates
 Two of Jim's July jobs knocked out the hottest team in the league. the Pittsburgh Pirates, though 1t took him 10 innings to land one of his two victories against the club he worked for in his first three years in the major leagues.
 Before the heat waves came. Jim was only 8 fair pitcher. He had not worked a complete game since May when he scaled the peak in Phlladelphia on July 4. He crushed the tail-enders with a two hit shutout that day and went on from there. When he blanked the Reds Aug. 3 in the Braves farewell to the west, it was his 7th complete game inside of one months elapsed time.
 Weather Another Foe
 Summer success in pennant races hinges largely on how the staff weathers the hot weather. Com- plete-game statistics aren't an in- fallible guide to a staff's strength, for the Cardinals won Is and lost II during July and moved into first place though they changed pitch- CTS in all but four of the games they played during the month.
 The tally on the route going hurlers means a lot in estimating the prospects of the hurling de- partmentS for the torrid times ahead through mid August and into the September drive. Clubs with front-line aces who can take care of today's game without bull-

games-when they swept a double header with the Athletics, 40 and To, for their seventh and eighth straight. Thornton Lee allowed six hits in winning the opener, his 18th and a new high for him in 14 years in organized baseball. Johnny Hum phries pitched his second shutout in a week to win the nightcap, al- lowing four hits to best Johnny Babich, who allowed five.
 The Browns and Red S0x divided a pair, Denny Galehouse pitching St. Louis to 3-2 decision in the opener and Boston driving out 19 hits to capture the nightcap 1O-7. Ted Williams hit three homers, run- ming his total to 26. He made five hits in eight times at bat for the two games.
 Jimmy Bloodworth's homer with one on in the twelfth inning game Washington an 8-6 victory over. the Indians. It was Clevelands seventh straight loss The Senators made 1T hits of Dean and Milnar and it took four doubleplays to prevent them from scoring more.
