Nan O Wars Young Son Gets 'ReDenge'

Buman. But there is 6 third per. son involved in this conflict Bet tina's manager who has the glitter ing eye of Svengali, who is @ better magician than Merlin and who can put peopyle under Q hypnotic spell.
 Grippe the Great
 Grippe is the nalne-Jimny Grip po-but whenever the scholars as- semble in leatherfist lane to discuss such erudite subjects as the super natural and hypotism they refer to him in hushed voices as "Grippo the Great"
 TEIhat is the man who is going to be in Betina's corner Tuesday night, bringing all the forces of darkness against poor Burman who will have to rely on nothing more than c jab, Q left hook and straight right.
 The great Grippe really made his reputation when he put two-ton Tony Galento to sleep against his wil-something that not even 22 beers in one evening had been able to do. Grippe made three or four passes at Two-Ton at e party and Galento dropped into . hypnotic trance.
 Among those present was Mrs. Galento who stood it as long as she could and then informed the great Grippe that If he didn't release Two-Ton from hypnotic thralldom, shet would bust him right on the kisser. Grippe waved his hands couple of times and Two-Ton came back to consciousness grabbing for his valet and scrdeaming: "Who's got my dough2" It turned out that his dough was intact in hfs valet, but 1t seems that while he was in the trance Two-Ton had dreamed that he was being robbed.
 Magic Stuff
 Grippe ts an accomplished magi- clan and still plies his trade when he isn't putting the whammy on Bettina's opponents. Your agen, encountered him in Florida a few months ago and saw some wondrous sights. Grippe extracted playing cards from your agents eyes, ears, "@S"St PSsASsSt oSdpp GdtlE, lIlGU I1lEs non and benedictine. Your agent has been tasting king of hearts in every bowl of soup since.
 HOW Burman plans to counter act the genius os Grippe the Great IS Q problem that must be worry ing him into Q nervous wreck. At one time he would have employed the services of q character named Evil Eye Finkel, who had quite a reputation as Q hexer. For a stated sum Evil.Eye would sit in Q fight- CTS corner and put the hex on the opposition. He barred no fighter except Joe Louis, who seemed to have some mysterious antidote for Eyil-Eye's hexing.
 They do say that one time tn, two hexers tangled. Evil-Eye evil. eyed the Great Grippe and Grlppc gave him the business right back The duel went on for some tirn1, and then Evil-Eye leaped to his feet and said he had to see a man about horse running in the third at Hialeah.
 Since that day the Great drIppo has ruled supreme in the hex and whammy industry.

COONEY STARS AS OUTFIELDER
 AFTER 20 YEARS
Younger Braves Unable to Match Speed With
 OIdtimer
BY PAUL SCHEFFELs 'nited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stair Correspondent
 New York, (UP)-Shorts from the major league baseball circuit:
 Johnny Cooney, pacemaking hit- ter of Casey Stengel's Boston Braves all spring, isn't letting any moss grow on that plaque presented him by the Boston baseball writers for being his clubs most valuable play- CT of 1940. Already the marvel of the age because he was Boston pitcher 20 years ago and star out- fielder today, Cooney acts more as if the plaque is something he has to win three legs of for permanent possession.
 At the start of 1940, Stengel sign- ed old John as a coach and assign ed him to teach the youthful fly- chasers how to get there by the time the ball. came down. After watching Cooney beat all the boys to the ball for week, the astute Stengel decided the wrong fellows were chasing the flies. So John not only got reappointed No. l outfield- CT but led the team in hitting, fin- ished third in the league with .318 for the season, and sailed into July of this year with the top batting average of his club, well above 300. Prize Rookie Injured
 Toughest break in the major leagues happened to outfielder Pat Mullin of the Detroit Tigers re- gently. A cinch to obtain the rookie of the year" award, Mullin dislocated his right shoulder in a night game with the Chicago White Sox on July 2 when he collided with pitcher Bill Dietrich at first base. He was forced to undergo an opera tion which is expected to keep him out for the rest of the season. He was hitting at @ .345 clip.
 When 1t comes to pitching rec- ords against all corners, veteran Lon Warneke is the only ace with the edge on all eight clubs in the Na- tional League. Warneke's early-sea- son record showed wins over six rival clubs, including Pittsburgh. That's important for they are his chief threat. Starting 194l, the score stood 13-12 between Lon and the Pirates. Starting two games against them this spring, he's now ahead, 14-12. St. Louis won both battles, although the Timber curve- bender drew only one of the win credits,
 WaEneke's Lead Safe
 His edge over the other six hos- tile clubs is too huge to be wiped out in one year. As @ Cub, he beat the Cards 17-l2 before pinning the Red Bird on his chest in 1897. As the league rosters run today, only two rival pitchers hold edges over the clubs they work for now Bill McGee, who as Cardinal beat the Giants 8 out of 9, and Jim Turner, who as 6 Boston pitcher edged over Cincinnati, 6-5
 Neither has much chance to move up on Warneke this year. McGee Is way ahead of Philadelphia and close with every other club except Cincinnati. He'll have to beat the Reds six times between now and closing day to get the edge on the world champions. Turner's main barrier Is Warneke's club. He needs string of five straight over the Card to move in front of them in lifetime records.

SULLIVAN GOES
 WELL IN TOURNEY
Waterbury Player Has Chance to Win Two
 Championships
Special to The Democrat)

Thomaston, July i7-Waterbury's Joe Sullivan, runner-up for the Pine Hill tournament tennis cham pionship last season, was well on his way toward another chance at the title. as he disposed of Roy Tolles of New Milford, o-7, 6-2, last eve- ming and then teamed with Henry Cieslewski of Naugatuck to defeat George Axelby and Ed Singleton of Thomaston 6-l, 6--2. The doubles team of Sullivan and Cieslewski finished second last season, which means that Sullivan, at least, be- lieves he is about due" to get in on one title or the other this sea- son, possibly both. Before he reaches the singles finals, he must take care of Russ Gould, Hartford singles champion, tonight at 6:30, though an al-day rain made the match a doubtful starter.
 Tolles gave Sullivan plenty of op- position in the first set which went 16 games, though Sullivan was far steadier than his speedy opponent, and won the first three games played.
 MT. and Mrs. Henry Britton of Pennington won an excellently- played mixed doubles match from Gus Funk and Josephine Rossini Senesac of Bristol, which won the first set 4-6, but dropped the next two, 7-5 and 7-5.
 Tn the singles play, Henry Cieslew- ski is the player to beat. Tonight he was scheduled to meet Bob Hug gard of Wethersfleld. It may be that Cieslewski and Sullivan, the gles championship, if they can get doubles team, may play for the sin- past their seni-flnal opponents.

Metal HOsers Best West Tube 2-l As Pitching Shines

In the best pitchers battle of the current season, Mike Dinapoli's Metal Hose with Cannuzzi on the mound, had an upper edge on Pad- dy Damelio and his West Tube Mill, by defeating the latter 2 to l, in an American Brass Inter- Department league contest last night at golf lots. CannuSzi allowed West Tubers Q half Q dozen blows, and although issuing six bases on balls, kept the hits well scattered and was never In trouble with the exception of the sixth inning, when the losers scored their lone run on Paddy Damelio's single and OLoughlin's double. The Metal Hose scored their two runs in the third inning. Grego's single, Al Damelio's double, an error by short- stop Beckerhouse, and Hanley's sin. gle accounted for the runs. Al Da- melio with a single and . double, and Hanley's pair of singles also excelled for the winners. For the losers, the fielding of Hilburt Boro- way at second, and Fitzlnaurice ct short field, featured.
 Tn the second best game of the night, the veteran Tommy Marvin had the edge over young "FIank' Lacilla as the South Sheet won a 3-l verdict over the Wire Mill, The victory was the second consecutive one for South Sheet.
 The North Sheet pushed across three runs on four hits and two er- TOTS in the fifth inning to score A 6-2 decision over East Tube.

Dodger exhibition games, against Cincinnati and Detroit, he kept his hitting streak intact, reaching straight hits in 8 times at bat, 3 of them home runs over fences of 3 different orchards.
 This prelude, probably the most sensational ever staged by an un- known in spring training season, proved no flash in the pan. In ST games at Elmira last year he batted .378 and had 23 stoolne bases. The league batting champion. Kermit Lewis, hit .325 in ii4 games. None of the full-term Eastern Leagues ever caught up with Pete's stolen base total.
 His batting. throwing and base running as regular centerfielder of the Dodgers this year has been the outstanding feature Of Brooklyn's first place fight. His knicname.
