Rosar Could Walk on Shady Side of Street, But How Many Cops Would Like to Be Yanks? Rollie
 HemsIey Proves VirtuOus Life Pays

like that, or at any time, for that matter?
 There are only t25 playing days and Rosar is well paid for being available when games are sched- ulled.
 Rosar was a half inch too short last winter when he took the civil service examination for the Buffalo cops, but the requirements have been modified. So have those for the Army.
 Rosar explains that he fants to be prepared in the event tha there is no baseball next year. Well, If there is no baseball in 1943, there certainly will be an Army.
 Maybe Rosar prefers walking Q beat to catching a doubleheader when 1t is 92 in the shade and no shade. He could at. least walk his beat on the shady side of the street.
 Rosar wanting to be cop while member of the finest ball club in the land is remindful of Ted Will Hams wanting to be fireman couple of years ago when he was the greatest young hitter in base ball. The difference is that Williams didn't mean it.
 Rosar practically belongs in c class with Johnny Broaca, the Yale upitcher, who ran away from the Yankees for no reason at all shortly before he was to receive $5,000 or $60OO world series check. Well, RoSar'S desertion was . grand thing for good old Rollick- ing Rollie Hemsley, anyway. It fur- ther demonstrated that Rollicking Rollie has more baseball lives than Hells Kitchen alley cat has real ones. Pirates, Cubs, Reds, Browns, Indians, back to the Reds and now to the Yankees.
 Old Rollicking Rollie was sitting in Cincinnati hotel room freshly released by the Reds and a free agent when he received Manager McCarthy,S sos. There he was-at the bottom of National League bat ting with mark of .114 in 36 flames and apparently through-and the world champions calling.
 Why, they coauldn't even waitl Rollicking Rollie climbed high on the wagon couple of years ago and no doubt traces his latest and big gest break to virtuous life. Rollicking Rollie likes to tell the boys how walking the straight and narrow pays rich dividens, and he now has another selling point.
 Rollicking Rollie handled young Hank Borowy perfectly and caught Red Ruffing in four-hit shutout as the Yankees made 1t nine straight.
 The veteran who couldn't get a loud foul in Cincinnati made five hits in eight trips in the double header, scored four times and drove in run.
 Just so much additional evidence that all a ball player needs Is that Yankee monkey suit.

PASSEAU BEST
 SPITBALLER IN
 NATIONAL LOOP
Cubs Ace Beats Braves for l4th Win; DiMaggiO's
 Streak Stopped
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

 New York, July 23.-(UP)-Claude Passeau's 14 victories stamped him as the most effective moundsman in the major leagues today but there's psychological angle to the slim, young round handed Mississippian's success the records do not reveal.
 Baseball outlawed the "spitter" in 1920 but some of Passeau's suc- cess-it's difficult to tell just how much-may be traced to that very rule. Passeau scarcely pitches a game without at least one squawk to the umpires that he's using the splitter.
 He is completely exonerated every time and the whole affair has de- veloped into psychological battle on both sides. The hitters try to rattle Passeau by such charges, and Claude attempts to throw their timing of by making them think he's throwing something he isn't.
 Whatever he's throwing, this wiry college graduate-he attended Mill sape College in Jackson, Miss.-is one of the top pitchers in baseball this year. He bolstered his claim by fashioning two-hitter yesterday when the Cubs whipped the Braves, 2-1.
 He lost shutout when Bill Nich- olson dropped Max Vests fly in the seventh. Nicholson atoned for this lapse in the ninth by blasting 8 triple off the left center field wall, scoring Lou Novikof with the win ming run. Novikoff made four of the Bruins dozen hits off Al Javery.
 Passeau retired the first 13 Bos- ton batters in order and also the last seven. He famed four, issued just one pass-an intentional walk to Ernie Lombardi-and pitched to only 30 batters. West made the only clean hit in the fifth and Tommy Holmes scratched out the other Bos- ton blow in the seventh.
 Kirby Higbe shackled the Reds with five hits as Brooklyn belted Ray tSarr and Gene Thompson for 10 blows and a 5-1 triumph. The win was Higbe's 10th. It was the fourth time Starr had failed to re- cord win No. 13.
 Beazley Wins 11th
 The Cardinals blasted out a TO victory over the Phils. Johnny Beazley turned in his 11th triumph by holding the Quakers to 10 scat tered hits. The Cards sewed up the game when they tagged Si John- son for two runs in the second on Walker Cooper's single, Whitey Ku- rowskis double and Frank Crespi's single.
 Joe Di Maggio's batting streak was broken at IS games but the Yankees wo mover the Indians, 5-1 in the 10th inning for their 11th in row. Di Maggie failed to get a hit off Al Milnar in three official times at bat. He was up five times, darw- ing one walk and being hit on the other occasion. The Tanks pushed over four in the 10th after Oscar Grimes fumbled Joe Gordon's grounder, potentially the third out.

FANS FEEL PESKY
 WAS SIDESTEPPED

While four members of the Red Sox-Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio and Tex Hughson- were selected for 1942 American League All-Star team, there were those followers of the Boston club who felt that both Heber "Dick" Newsome, winner of 19 games in 1941, and Johnny Pesky, the rookie of the year, should also have been accorded similar honors.
 Newsome, ace of the Sox staff in 1941 when he won more games than any other Boston hurler except Bob Grove and West Teller in the past two decades, showed a record of seven and three when the balloting was held. Dick was second only to Tex Hughson on the morning. of July on the Sox flinging staff and his many admirers, taking in to consideration the fact that he had been so many years in the mil nors without a chance to reach the top, felt he was a certainty for this years team.
 While Pesky is first year man, many thought he would be selected because of the fact that he is out hitting both Manager Lou Boud- reau of Cleveland and Phil Riz- zuto of the Tanks, the former by 32 points and the latter by 97. Bohdreau and Rizzuto were the Se- lections for the shortfield post. If Johnny is around next year and that seems unlikely unless the war is over, there will no doubt about his rating the All-Star choice. Most valuable player in the American Association last year, John is every inch a champion.

New York, July 23.-Warren Rosar is a aYnkee who would like to be a cop. know 8 lot of policemen who would like to be Yankees.
 You have a rough idea of what would happen to 8 patrolman who went A.W.O.L. to try out with a baseball club.
 Buddy Rosar won't be kicked out of basebalyl, of course, but you can look for a deal the first time the New Works are positive they have sufficient catching.
 Ed Barrow and Joe Mccarthy don't care for ball players who take French leave, especially when an in- jury has left the outfit with no one else for the position. Rosar's of- fense was particularly fragrant in- asmuch as he was receiving and swinging for the everything Bill Dickey taking runout at a time

Getto was line coach and first as- sistant to Sutherland during the two seasons. Sutherland directed the Dodgers. Moreover, he played three years under Sutherland at Pittsburgh and in recent years was his righthand man in the conduct of summer coa ching schools.
 Getto began his football career with his local high school in Jean cite, Pa., after which he entered the University of Pittsburgh. In high school he was 8 plunging fullback, but after one look at him Dr. Sutherland converted him into a tackle.
 At Pitt he was a bulwark of the Panthers' forward wall through 1926, 27, 28. and as member of the unheaten 1927 team he took part in the Rose Bowl game. The next year he was unanimous choice for the All-America and was a member of the East team which took part in the annual East-West game in
 Dr. Sutherland selected Getto as Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. one of his assistants for spring practice in 1929, but he later went to the University of Kansas as line coach, where he helped A. D. Lind sey's Jay Hawkers to win the Big Six title in 1930 for their first time. He continued in that job for eleven years. He joined the Dodgers in 194O as Sutherland's first lieutenant. He IS thirty-seven years old.

10 NEGRO PROS TOP GOLFDOM'S
 WACK|EST SHOW
Seven Qualify With Cards of 8l Or Lower in Chi=

BY TOMMY DEYINE

(JTnlted Press Staff Correspondent
 Chicago, July 23-(UP)-Golf- dom's wackiest show-the double header program that combines tha All-America amateur and the $15,000 Tam O'Shanter open tournaments went reeling into another chapter today and your guess was as good as your neighbor's as to what might happen next.
 Here's the normal" schedule, but thus far the tournaments have been decidedly abnormal.
 1. Sixteen survivors in the ann ateur event play their third round matches at 18-holes this morning.
 2. The eight winners of the morning matches play another IS holes in the afternoon.
 3. A field of 1894 professionals and amateurs play the first 13 of the 72-hole open tournament.
 4. The 16 surviving amateurs compete simultaneously in the open WlUIl l1lC1I AOOAAA oNOA NG counting in the open tabulations.
 American golfdom never has wit messed such events as marked yes- terday's competition in the two tournaments:
 1. The first three-some in the professional qualifier left No. l tee at 7:3O a. m., and darkness was falling when seven performers left 1t again to engage in a play off for one available place in the open. The lucky survivor after thre holes was Bill Barclay of Cada1ac, Mich.
 2. The final match off the morn ing" round for the amateurs was completed at 4:15 p. m. (CWT).
 3. When Lieut.. Dick Chapman holed putt on the 18th hole, de- feating Gus Moreland of Peoria, H., one up, in second round match it was 12 hours after the amateur competition for the day had started. Lights on the club property were turned on and as Chapman made his drive the afraid sirens of a nearby village screeched trial warn ings.
 4. Eighteen matches in the am- ateur competition were decided by one-up margin.
 5. Ten Negro professionals par ticipated in the open qualifier and seven made the grade with cards ol 81 Or lower.
 From strictly competitive stand point, yesterdays play in the am- ateur was featured by the advance of three former National Open champions into the third round. They were Chapman, Corp. Mar win (Bud) Ward of Spokane, Wash, and Johnny Goodman, the stocky insurance salesman from Omaha, Neb.
 Other favorites in tine bracket of 16 included co-medalists Johnny Holmstrom of the University of H. linois and Johnny Lehman of Chi cago: Frankie Stranahan, the pow erful Toledo, O., youngsters; Will ford Wehrle of Racine, Wis, and Earl Stewart, the 1941 national in- tercollegiate champion from Dallas, Texas.

Michael Getto Named Dodgers Football Coach
BONUS FOR TANNING
 MAKES STAR OF NOVIKOFF
Fans Shouted For And Got Mad Russian

When he realized he couldn't lose, Novikof started losing the ball.
 Magnate Wrigley has had to pay him only $50 to date, for he has let a third strike slip by without taking a rifle at it only three times since they made their little deal.
 With his newly found freedom of movement, Novikof also refused to further fall for soft stuff - the change of pace and such.
 NOVIKOFF RESTORES
 WRIGLEY'S INTEREST
 In addition to giving the Cubs badly needed violence, Novikoff re- stored what little interest Wrigley had in baseball.
 They now telephone Wrigley when Larruping Louie manufactures 8 home run in game the owner is unable to attend. They long dis tanced the gum tycoon in Washing ton not long ago when his hero slapped another.
 The National League was criti- cized somewhat for not naming Novikof and his teammate, Bill Nicholson, for the All-Star game. Novikoff and Nicholson are two of the mighty few in the senior circuit who smite the ball for magnificent distances.
 Novikof is slow and not a good outf1elder. When he makes what appears to be an unusual catch now and then, 1t is due as much to awkwardness as skill. He plays hit ters poorly and is an uncertain catch. His arm is only fair.
 But the mob loves him.
 As long as Lou Novikof continues to press the fat of the bat against the ball, he will look like a Iris Speaker. to the paying guests.
 And, as Jim Gallagher made plain, the customer is always right.

his head or a pitch out or to golf one as he is to pickle pippin.
 Naturally, Novikof was advised aiainst that in the big show. The result was that, in guarding against the practice, he looked at too many third strikes.
 That is, he did until Owner Phil Wrigley called him into his office.

Gets $1O For Swinging On Third Strike
BY HARRY GRAYSON (NEA Service Sports Edit0F)

New York, July-What so sudden ly transformed Louis Novikon from an All-America out to an outstand- ing National League slugger?
 The change came just when Jimmy Wilson and the others had made up their minds that, as a ma jor league hitter, Lou NovikoR was an excellent harmonica player, Irish tenor and gag man.
 But Chicago Cub fans, hungry for someone to root for, shouted for Novikof until Jim Gallagher suggested that the Mad Russian be employed regularly.
 President Gallagher grasped the bucks office value of the Bruins first colorful performer since Hack Will son.
 That gave Novikof his first real big league opportunity.
 Manager Wilson 1ectured NovikoR on hustle, related the success stories Of others who refused to permit ad- versity to get them down. He told Novikof the story of Morrie Arno- V1ch, who had that one big year with the Phillies on little more than the old college try.
 WRTGLEY HAS HAD TO PAY LOU NOVIKOFF ONLY $3O
 But the momentum that swept Novikoff, from a bloke who could not hit the ball out of the infleld and took too many third strikes, to confident 300, third-slot hitter of tremendous power, came when Philip K. Wrigley gave the squatty gent from Los Angeles Boyle Heights a $10 bonus for striking out swinging.
 Novikoff, who led every minor league in which he performed, is a free-swinging bad ball hitter. He is just as likely to hit a ball over
