HurIer Wins J Stroieht
After Veteran Urges
Him to 'Toke It Eosy'
By the Associated Press.

BY lne ASSOClAteO FTcsS.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jan. Tone
sweltering day last mid-August, big,
curly -haired Joe Dobson, just an
other of Joe Cronin's hired hands,
was having his usual difficulty locat-
ing the plate when over to the
mound strolled Jimmy Foxx, Boston
Red Sox first baseman.
Take it easy, joe cOunselled
diamond-wise Jimmy "Just relax
and don't throw the ball SO hard and
try to pick your spots around the
plate"
Starts Him on Streak.
At the time Foxx gave him this
tip, Dobson had won five games and
dropped five, mostly as a fireman
for the Red Hose.
But he went on to win that mid
August day and finished the cam
paign with seven straight triumphs
for a season mark of IL victories, S
losses.
II hope I'll be able to continue
the streak next summer" big Joe
said today in crediting Foxx with
turning him from just $3.50 hurler
into one Of the hottest things in the
American League at the fag end Of
the 194l campaign.
Dobson, powerfully built 6footer
weighing 1876 pounds, is wintering
here with his wife and 2year-old
son. He spent A couple Of seasons
with Cleveland before being traded
to Boston a year ago.
Ready II U. s. Calls.
I'm in great shape" he declared
I've been doing a lot of hunting
and am Just S pounds over my nor
NAL pitching weight. AS soon as 1
shed those pounds and do little
throwing, III be ready to toe the
mound"
Joe's ready to do his bit for Uncle
Sam, but figures he won't be called
into service this year.
I've got ga classification. with
a wife and child to take care Of" he
explained. But, of course, I'm ready

may rule in favor of the Olympics,
who were superior in the hockey de-
partment. 7-6. but the best guess is
that he'll follow the recommended
ton of Referee Mel Harwood and
award a forfeit to Washington.
If Lockhart rules Boston the win

for when Coach Hago Harrington of
the Olympics refused to return his
team to the ice for eight minutes
after ordering the club OF the rink
at the start of the second period he
probably cost his outfit the league
lead
Forfeit Appears Certain.
The rule book leaves no loop for
escape. or a wishy-washy decision,
for under the code Of the Amateur
Hockey Association Of the United
States that governs Eastern League
play Washington is the winner by
forfeit.
Boston is in disputed possession
of first place with 81 points. Johns

is Forthcoming Johnstown will be
top team with SO points, with Boston
and New York locked at 35 and
Washington on the fringe OF pros
perity with % points.
Referee Harwood, who was having
quite a night Of it what with being
dealt an emphatic shove by Wash

will recommend in his report to
Lockhart that the game be for

him to return his team to the ice

Harwood was generous with pen

Man Represented as Stealing
For Union Fee Given Probation

James K. Hughes, an attorney,
told Justice T. Alan Goldsborough in
District Court yesterday that his
client, Carl v. Moore, %, who was up
for sentencing, stole s105 to make a
down payment on welderS' union
initiation fee he had to join before
he could get a job at the Navy Yard.
Mr.. Hughes said welders' union,
which he did not otherwise identify,
had demanded an initiation fee of
$3.50, but agreed to let Moore go to
work if he could make an initial
payment of $100.
Justice GoldSborough asked Mr..
Hughes if he knew these facts of his
own personal knowledge and Mr..
Hughes replied he did not, but that
his client had told them to him. Mr..
Hughes said he had not investigated
the case personally.
On recommendation of the proba-
ton Office, Justice Goldsborough
gave Moore suspended sentence of
to 3 years on his plea of guilty to

housebreaking, and placed him on
probation. The probation office said,
however, that Moore had not men
toned, during an investigation of
the case, that he had stolen the
money to pay a union fee and that
information was not in report on
the case given to Justice Colds
borough
In signed statement to police,
shortly after he was arrested, Moore
did say, however, that he stole the
money to pay dues in a welderS'
union.
Moore broke into a Blue Bell
restaurant at 502 Ninth street NV,
the night of April 8. He was ar
rested by police at his home the
following day, and s67 was recovered.
What happened to the remaining
S38 has not been brought out. One
of the provisions of his probation
was that he pay back the S38 at the
rate of Sc monthly.
Moore lives at 437 Kennedy
street NV.
