Murray, Classy
 Welterweight, Aids Pep Training

Hartford, July 16 - Among the latest developments pertinent to the Willie Pep-Abe Denner fight for the New England featherweight crown here Tuesday night is the fact that Billy Murray, classy Bea- con, N. r.. welterweight, has come to town to help unbeaten Willie train.
 Thus Pep will have the assistance Of third welterweight in his spar ring jousts with half dozen fight CTS. He has been sharpening his punches on Tony Falco and Pat Casey. Road work has been build ing up his stamina for the 12- round route, which will be four more rounds than Pep has ever been asked to go.
 There will be seats for over B. 900 at Bulkeley stadium for the championship bout. Six thousand in the grandstand and bleachers and 5000 on the field where the Hartford Laurels cavort.
 It will be the first title bout in this city since the days of Bat Bat talino. And, as of old, Ed Hurley is the promoter. He has had wide experience in the staging of fights and championship boxing match is nothing new to him.
 Tall Boy
 In taking on Denner. Pep is fac- ing a tall, lanky Jewish boxer whose long reach may give him a decided advantage. But the 43- times victorious local lad has been rehearsing with down n-from-under blows that he figures will cut down his Boston adversary.
 And championship belt is in the works. For to the winner will be given a belt emblematic of the New England title, which Denner has claimed since the night he kayoed Sal Bartolo in 1940. He successfully defended his claim against "Snooks" Lacy last year. Recent victories over the MEAS World Champion Jackie Wilson and Vince Dell'Orto, who last week beat Jackie Callura, have boosted Den- ner's stock.

DIMAGGIO CONVINCED BASEBALL IS DEADER

DiMaggio agrees with the ma jority of players in both major leagues that the ball is deader
 If you doubt 1t, the Yankee Clip per suggests that you look at the home run totals.
 DiMaggio was in the midst oi a mild consecutive game batting streak when I talked to him. Ihe difficulty was that he wasn wrapping his hits together.
 But as Joe DiMaggio stresses, there is nothing wrong with as inc a swing as the game ever knew.
 A bean bag will trave if smacked solidly and hard enough, and II z, player keeps hitting the ball well the law of averages will take care of his batting average.

Slump Is Like a Summer Cold; It Must Wear Out--DiMaggiO '
Family Trouble BalOney, Says
 YankS' Clipper
BY HARRY CRIMSON (Nea Service Sports EdltOr)

New York July-Joseph Paul DiMaggio, Jr., doesn't mind discus sing his batting slump.
 "It's about all I've thought of since the season started, so why should I2" he smiles.
 "A batting slump is like a mean summer cold. It just has to wear out.
 I guess I wasn't hitting the ball well for time, but I am now and it will start dropping safely for me with more frequency. I was striking out too much for a time and they say was going for bad balls.
 Well, I must have been told that practically everything was wrong with me. was cautioned that this or the other shoulder was too high or too low. I wasn't doing this or I wasn't doing that. BASE HITS ALONE
 COUNT IN AVERAGE
 Naturally, experimented a bit when the nose dive started to drag out. but generally l. was hit- ting the ball good enough. The trouble was that 1t was hit straight at somebody O. otherwise didn't go for base hit. Base hits are all that show in a players aver age. A solidly hit ball that is caught, or which you are thrown out, doesn't count. Usually, how ever, you get your share of hits if you swing correctly.
 'They even traced my trouble to the family variety.
 "One Broadway columnist start- ed it and others took 1t up.
 This annoyed my wife, but I paid no attention to 1t. Dorothy and I were never happier and Joe the Third is really going to be a great hitter
 "Ty Cobb used to get rid of Islumps by bunting at first and then concentrating on just meet ing the ball. Gradually he length ened his swing until he was hot again.
 My old prescription was to make sure that my left toe was pointed directly at the pitcher, and I think it Is the best for me"
