The Pirates have won IL of their Is

Both teams, incidentally, also top
their respective circuits in inter

Fourth place belongs to the st.

They swept two-game series with
the Yanks during the week end,
running their spring record to Is

Bobo Fights for Shot
Al Pastor in Bout
With Franklin
Torrid Scrop Promised
By Heovies Tonight
In Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 30
Harry Bobo, 208- pound Sunday
school teacher with dynamite in
both fists, gets the biggest chance
of his 3-year-old boxing career
here tonight in q 10-round 90 with
dangerous Lem Franklin, 202, of
Cleveland.
Franklin is the former bellhop
who was ascending the heavy
weight ladder at q fearsome pace
until Bob Pastor stopped him in
eight rounds a few weeks ago.
Before that Lammin' Lem had
racked up II consecutive wins. 16
by kayos, and had fattened Tony
Music and Abe Simon in less time
than it took Champion Joe Louis
to do it.
Hence it virtually is mandatory
for the 24-year-old Clevelander to
put Bobo to sleep tonight. because
two successive beatings would give
him a back seat In the big-money
| class.
Bobo, although he has 4 good
record, practically is an unknown
along Bashers' boulevard. The
Pittsburgh slugger has won rs out
of 80 fights, compared with Frank
Inns u victories in "a, but had the
! Ill luck to be bowled over by a
couple OF third-raters.
Should Bobo put Franklin away.
however, he'll be right up in there.
Jimmy Johnston, manager OF Pastor
and Simon. is expected at the ring
side tonight with the idea Of ne
gotiating for a Pastor -Bobo match
here later this spring if huge Harry
wins.
Pittsburgh fans like the bout be-
tween the dusky mastodonS so well
that reserved seats are sold out.
Bobo, 81, has hometown appeal
because he combines Bible reading
and athletics. He's q church deacon,
wants to be preacher. He was a
high school football and basket ball
star and won the national heavy
weight amateur boxing crown in
1899.

me that the same thing that makes
Baugh a better passer is what gives
Louis that punching power. He
always gets his shoulder moving
first, then brings his arm around.
That way, his whole body is in the

the way Baugh passes. His shoulder
always is cooked before he brings
the ball up to let it 60 from along
side his ear. He gets all the follow
through from his body.

Urging that all motorists In this ar

er's creed just announced by United
States Rubber Company, Lynwood w.

moke City, Md, local tire dealer,

to get more mileage from their pres
ent tires. Importance of this creed
is emphasized by the Governments
tire rationing plan.
every car owner should be proud
to help conserve rubber, an impor-
tant defense material" Mr.. Duncan
said. For our part, we are willing to
help in every way we can by giving
technical information, checking tire
pressures, switching wheels, checking
brakes, aligning and balancing wheels,
and inspecting tires and tubes"
The 10 points of this creed are: l
will drive my car only when abso-
lutely necessary avoiding extra
trips by doubling-up with my neigh
bors whenever possible. l will drive
at moderate speed to avoid burning
up my tires. l will start and stop my
car slowly and slow down on turns to
avoid grinding off the tire tread. I
will park carefully to avoid scraping
and humping my tires against curbs.
I will keep brakes adjusted to avoid
spotty tread wear.
I will have the air pressure of all
my tires checked every week to get
the greatest possible mileage. Twill
have my tires cross switched at least
every 5000 miles to increase my to-
tai mileage. l will keep my wheels
correctly aligned and balanced to "a
void uneven tread wear. I will use
my brakes carefully, shifting into
second gear going down steep hills,
to avoid excessive tread wear. l will
have my tires and tubes inspected
regularly as precaution against flu
ture trouble and wasted rubber.
