PACE, Ex-WORLD CHAMPION, HAS
 CLASSY RECORD
Sixth on Featterweight List at This Time; Hatch- .
 CT Has Done We'll /.

Two of the best ten featherweightg in the U. S. A. have been matched for the outstanding outdoor boxing show of the season Thursday night at the Randolph Cloves stad.uTrls when Georgie Pace of Cleveland, worlds bantamweight champion in 1899 and 1040, meets Jimmy Hatcher of Lake City, South Carolina winner of eleven straight bouts including g. Florida victory over Red Guggino of West Palm Beach, who had de- feated Leo Kodak and Johnny Bellas of New Haven.
 Pace is ranked number six nation ally on the featherweight list, with Hatcher in the number nine spot, according to Ring Magazine, the bible" of the boxing business. Ex-WoFld Champion Who is Georgie Pace? Well, he's a native of Lexington, Alabama where he was born in February, 10l6 which makes him 25 years of age. In Oc- tober, 1899 he won the National Box ing Association, worlds bantam weight championship, and later boxed Q draw with Lou Salica of New York at Toronto, losing the ti- tie to Salica in 6 return bout. He has knocked out Nat Litf1n in i've rounds; Spider Armstrong in five; Henry Hook in eight; Tony Dupre in two: Matt Perfetti. twice in 5 and 6 and Frankie Marine in six. In ad- ! dition he has decisions over Bobby Yack and Indian 6suintano and has draw with Jackie Callura, one of the outstanding featherweights cam paigning in the south last winter.
 As for Hatcher. last year while ap- bearing in Waterbury as pre,im- mary boy. the southern lad whipped Texas Lee Harper, Snooks Lacey, Kid Sal and Tommy Ciarlo, before Brass Cit yfans. In his only appear ance out of . Waterbury ring in Connecticut, Hatcher won handily over Dusty Brown of Fall River, Mass, at Donovan Field at Savin Rock.
 Barry Pate, manager of Hatcher, produced clippings showing that his protege easily won over Carl (Red) Guggino at West Palm Beach, Fla, after the former Hartford boy de- feated Leo Kodak and Johnny Bel Jus. Other outstanding glovemen that Hatcher whipped this past win. ter at the southern playground fight pit were Justo Jiminez, Mike Mar tinez. Joey Raymond and Jackie Cullura.

Teller, DiDlaggio Williams Draw 5O, 900
American Seeks To Regain Prestige In Al-Star
Junior Wheel And Bob Teller Has Hitters---
BY HARRY GRAYs0N NEA Service Sports Editor

There was a time when the Na- tioral League paid little attention to the all-star game, but that wasn't the case 8 year ago when 22 men of the senior circuit shut out the American Leaglers, 4-0, in St. Louis.
 The National Leaguers regained Q lot of prestige with that perform ance, and smarting from humiliation at every turn in l940 the American Leaguers will swing for keeps in De- troit, July 8.
 The scoffed-at elder wheel not only copped the all-star last sum- rraer, but also whitewashed the jun for set, leo, In the spring battle for Finnish relief in Tampa. They ad. ded the insult when the Cincinnatis ortlaated the Detroits in Q seven- game world series.
 Originally. the fans were allowed to name the teams in nation wide polls. But that gave baseball too much publicity, or something, in the eyes of the unwise men at the games head, 50 they took the Selec- tions away from the customers and gave them to the managers.
 The latter have done Q better job this time than in the past. The rosters are proof that neither league intends to lose. Seasons records have been discarded in many cases where the pilots felt they were not indicative of the players ability or of his qualifica- tions for the task at hand. The idea of being nice to everybody by naming as nearly as possible an equal number of players from each club has been forgotten. So has sentiment.
 RIDDLE AND WHITE
 PASSED UP FOR VETS
 Managers evidently believe New York has the. more skillful players in the American and Brooklyn in the National. Anyway, they named half dozen from each outfit, so at one time or another there may be what will practically amount to . Yankee-Dodger engagement, which could well be a sort of preview to the 1o41 world series.

Same Rule in Force
 For 1922 Auto Race At Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Ind, July 8-The same rules and regulations which produced the dramatic joint-yictory for Mauri Rose and Floyd Davis in the 500-mile race at the Indian apolis Motor Speedway last May S0th will be in force for the 30th running of the event next Decora- ton Day.
 In making this announcement, T.. E. Pop" Myers also scorched ru- mors that the 1922 race might be abandoned because of the war site uation.
 "Preparations that are necessary at this time of year for the stag ing of the 30th annual 50O-mile race next May 30th are proceeding as usual" MT. Myers said. "Rumors or reports to the effect that there will be no race at Indianapolis next year are absolutely without founda- ton.
 However, Captain E. V. Ricken- packer, president of the Speedway, has asked me to announce that in view of defense activities and the difficulty in obtaining materials. machine work and parts. there will be no change in motor sizes and weight limits for le42 and we shall run under the same rules which were placed in force under the Inc ternational Formula in le3e."
 Limits
 Under these rules supercherged motors are limited to le3 cubic Inch piston displacement and the limit on non.SuperchaEged motors holds at 2T4.6e cubic inches.
 It has been customary to change the motor rules ct Indianapolis every several years to encourage motor development.
 MT. Myers also announced that drawings and specifications for re. ynmping the entire garage section were under way. one half Of %daso- s.ne Alley where the racing cars arc kept was destroyed by fire early race day this year.

Elmer Riddle won eight games for the Reds without a defeat, but you don't see his name in the Nationals lineup. The managers evidently considered the all-star too heavy a mental load for the youngster.
 Such competent young left-hand- CTS as Ernie White of the Cardinals and Vern Olsen of the Cubs were passed up by the Nationals to make room for the ancient and honorable Carl Hubbell. The Giant southpaw is on the other side of the hill and is no longer sure of lasting nine ira- nings he will work for Bill McKech- nie, he's still the old master.
 The five National League pitchers in ls40 were Paul Derringer, Bucky Walters, Whitlow Wyatt. Larry French and Hubbell. Each stayed two innings except Hubbell, who worked the ninth. Four of the five pitchers are back again. Only French

 Pete Reiser, truly great new star will shine for the National Leaguers for the first time.
 Missing is Max West, who clinch- ed the game last season with a three-run home run. Bothered by a bad leg, West is batting only .230.
 The Professional Baseball Play CTS Association, the former ben eficiary of the all-star game which looks after sick and indigent play CTS, is able to take care of itself for the time being.
 So the United Service Organ,za- tions should net something around $40,000 from this years edition which will do capacity at Briggs Stadium at regular prices.

and his .330 average should have been named, but the managers no doubt thought the Alabaman threw too erratically now and then.
 Jimmy Dykes argues that Luke Appling is a more accomplished shortstop than Lou Boudreau, but the Cleveland kid will be at the post at the finish provided the Amer jeans have a lead.
 Frank Mccormick was the Na- tional Leagues most valuable play CT last season, but because he Is bat ting no more than .260 and has hit into 50 many double plays, he was picked by McKechnie only after an injury forced Dolph Camilli to turn oown the assignment. With Johnny Mize around, however, Mccormick isn't expected to get much work.

 It is still said that the American is a batters' league whereas the Na- tional leans to pitching. That may be true. but the Americans certain ly don't suffer in the box when they start with Bob Teller.

Now. after II months of war,
the coastal command has built
up an impressive record. During
the first II months of the war,
aircraft of the coastal command
flew 34.5O0.000 miles-mere than
1880 times around the world.
From the beginning Of the

ence of the aircraft is enough to
protect the convoy.
The work of the coastal CON-
mand was planned and perfected
in the days before the war. so
that British sea trade could
be safeguarded. But changing
phases of the war have brought
more. and different work. During
the first quiescent months of the
war the aircraft of the coastal
command flew thousands of
miles safeguarding British ocean
going and coastal conveys and
keeping a lookout for German
commerce raiders.
Attacks on Norway
The first change came when
the Germans obtained bases in
Norway so that British aircraft
on their North Sea sweeps
encountered high performance
fighter aircraft operating from
Norwegian air fields. The coastal
command shared with the navy
the task of protecting our troop
, ships and conveys en- route to
Norway.
BY last June, attacks on air
fields and harborS in Norway
had been added to the work of
the coastal command. Hudsons
on reconnaissance flights dropped
tons of high explosive bombs on
such NaZi bases as Stavangar
and Bergen.
German supply ships in the
fiords were attacked and British
aircraft carried out further raids
on air bases and communications
in southern Norway and Den
mark.
The evacuation of Dunkirk
threw more work onto the
shoulders of the coastal COM
mand. Aircraft originally in
tended to guard trade routes
were thrown into the breach for
the vital task of helping cover
the return of the British Expedi-
tionary Force TO England.
