COBB'S PUTTER
 BOUTS RUTH 3-2
Famous Baseball Stars Wind up Golf Series at
 Detroit

Detroit, July 30z(UP) = Babe Ruth can drive a golf ball farther but Ty Cobb takes fewer strokes to run it down into the hole.
 They puffed and perspired for four hours at Crosse He Country clubs rolling course yesterday be- fore Cobb, got 3 and 3 victory in the third and deciding match of their series.
 Neither Cobb nor Ruth who had his hair held down with big bobby pin, set any records. Cobb was out in 42, Ruth in 46. On the seven holes of the second round Ruth was eight over par, Cobb nine.
 Cobb's deadly putting eased Ruth from the running. Frequently ask ing advice of his l5-year old Caddy on the slope of the green, Cobb holed a 20-feet putt on the second a 10-footer on the third, and 8 40- footer on the 14th. He skinned the cup on several more.
 Ruth, tired by the humid heat complained, tits terrible the way I'm playing. I haven't dropped 6 putt in a month"
 Cobb won the first match of the series at Boston, June 25. But Ruth won in 19 holes at New York two days later.
 After yesterdays match, proceeds of which go to the United Service Organizations, both Ruth and CobE said their golf series was ended-at least for the present.

 lift him above the mob and make him true champion.
 But this evening, for 30 minutes or less, the jinx of his career will stand squarely across his trail. He Is fighting Georgie Abrams, a man who defeated him twice before SooSe fought his way to recognition by New York state as middleweight title holder. There doesn't seem to be doubt in any ones mind that Soose is the better fighter. And 1t isn't just sentiment, either, because the betting commissioners, who have all the warm sympathy and sentiment tality of Q berg in the Antarctic, have made him a 2 to s favorite. Let's leave 1t to the psychiatristS and philosophers to figure out how one fighter can be a jinx to another. There's no doubt hat it's true. Long ago there used to be g roly-poly man who was somewhat of a clown in the ring. He tok lots of lickings and he never seemed to be headed anywhere in particular, but there was one thing he could do.
 He could baffle Jack Dempsey in the ring.
 The fat mans name was Willie Meehal1 and lie built up quite a reputation as Dempsey's jinx. And that was in the days when Demp- sey was knocking 'em into the petunias with what lots of people think was the most devastating two- handed attack in the history of box ing.
 What Meehar was to Dempsey, Abrams is to Sooge.
 Down and Up
 At the start of both of their pre- vious fights Soose took the most di- rect possible means of proving he was the better man. On both occa- sionS he walked out in the first round and knocked Abrams down. But JinXes don't say down like nor. tai men, so Abrams got up and pro- ceeded to worry and harass Soose until he got the decision.
 Soose, & clean-cut looking young ster who got some book larnin' at Penn State. Is none too popular with the fight mob. He occasionally ut- terS three-syllahle word and--most puzzling of all to the fight mob he diSdatns phony alibis.
 Soose says himself that he has 10 prove that he is champion and the only way he can satisfy his own mind on that score is to come through with humping victory over Abrams tonight. After that Billy wants to give Ken Overlin, from whom he won the title, 6 re- turn bout. There was considerable dissatisfaction with the decision that Soose won over Overlin, and Billy feels 1t keenly.
 If he gets past Abrams tonight and then beats Overlin decisiyely, you are likely to hear lots about Soose. He has bull shoulders, thin legs and still is growing. He Is certain to grow into a light heayy- weight and may take on enough poundage to become a heavyweight,
 But before that happens there is work to do tonight. and that's why it's likely to be an interesting eye- hing even if the bout Is scheduled for only 10 rounds and soose,s title is not at stake.

Trapasso Tames Tool Softball Entry As Scovill'S Win, 3-1

His softball light hidden under the bushel of publicity hurled at unbeaten Hardy Brownell, standout Industrial League pitcher, sonambulant Sam Trapasso of the scovill softball squad, emerged last night as the hero of the 3 to vic- tory of the east-end outfit over the heretofore unbeaten Waterbury Tool array. Trapasso not only kept the Tool batters in check with three- hit performance but 1t was his single in the third which scored Bianco with the run that proved enough to win the ball game, though Scovill added another in the seventh in- ming, when Lasky dropped perfect throw from Kalosky to the plate. Trapasso gave four bases in balls, but famed six and has beaten the leagues supposedly two best pitct- CTS, Brownell of Tool, and Yarnell of Benrus. On top of all that, player Trapasso is whacking the "mushmelon" at .583 clip which ought to put him very much in a class by himself both as a pitcher and a hitter.
 Waterbury Tool threatened to score in the last inning when they put two men on base with one out but Brownell hit into a double-play which gave the Scovillites a much- deserved victory, and a half-game lead in the American division of the Dusty Softball league, while Tool still holds a one game edge on Chase Metal in the National di- vision. Jimmy Gribbon's two-bagger after Lafferty and Kalosky walked, brought the lone Tool tally in the third.
 Brownell, the hero of most of the Waterbury Tool victories this sea- son was pretty much the goat of the Scovill game as two wild pitches put a runner on third in the sev- enth inning, though Lasky dropped Kalosky's peg to the plate. Then again, Harvey hit into a double- killing in the last inning, though he held the Scovill hitters to four bingles. Previous to the Scovill win, Tool had won Il straight, losing only one to Hopeville team in a lon- league game earlier in the season.
