Boudreau Comes Into the Ball Correctly; Brown Streamlnes Ohio State FOOtball This Is Hardly
 Time for Tennis Tantrums

New York, July 14.-Lou Bou- dreaa's batting stance is that as- gumcd by a basketball player in shooting foul.
 Perhaps that Is where the young Cleveland manager got 1t for he hit the ring repeatedly for Illinois, serves as assistant coach there.
 Boudeau's stance is as unorthodox as those of the right-handed Joe DiMaggio and the left-handed Ted Williams are orthodox.
 The swings of DiMaggio and Will Nams-left and right arms, re- speectlyely, perfectly straight could be models for any golf pro- fegsional.
 so-called correct form is thing of beauty, but batting posture is unimportant just so long as the hit ter comes into the ball right.
 With all his style, DiMaggio has had considerable difficulty doing that this season.
 And Shortstop Boudreau does it despite his apparent awkwardness, as OMrton Cooper so quickly learned in the All-Star Game of the other night.
 Loss of seven Ohio State Football prospects, all freshmen, through in- eligibility is not as tough blow aualitatively as it is numerically. Oi the seven, only Horace Gillom, really great prospect who was Paul Brown pupil in football-fer- tile Massillon, will in any way i'm pair Buckeye hopes.

"Will Do My Best" Says Red SOx SIugger; Work
 Is Tough

Boston, July 14-CUP)-Tempera- mental Ted Williams and his team mate, Johnny Pesky of the Boston Red Sox enrolled at Mechanic Arts high school last night for study courses in connection with their en- listment in the naval aviation training program
 The two youthful baseball stars sat at their desks among 8 group of 250 candidates and heard It. F. T. Donahue say: These courses are no snap. The work is tough. You've year of hell ahead of you" Then the lieutenant asked Will Hams to "say a word" and the string-bean slugger replied: T only hope I prove myself worthy to go through with you. give you my word I'll do my best"
 New Stuff
 When Williams registered for the courss which included navigation aerology, physics, he said: "Ad- vanced math! I never had any o1 that. All I had was adding, sub- tracting, dividing, and little mul- tiplying. These birds will call me a meat-head-like they do in the left field bleachers."
 Williams and PeSky will attenc four-hour sessions thrice weekly while the Red Sox are home ano will be able to catch up on what they miss during road trips be- cause the navy is starting new freshman classes weekly. Both probbaly will be able to finish the baseball season before being called for pre-flight training.

to see the feathers soon drawing gates of $50000 and up, as they did in the golden decade of the 20s-in the days of Dundee, Kaplan, Can- zoneri and Battalino.
 Major reasons for this revival are CD The division packs more class than at any time since 1927 when Henry Armstrong won the crown from Petey Sarren, and (2) all five divisions above the feathers have lost much talent to the servicse.
 This regeneration of the little league has occurred despite the fact that the division has two champions Wright, who is recognized by New York State, and Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh, the National Boxing Associations ruler. Wilson also is Negro.
 Rival title claimants usually kill interest in a division. It is difficult to get them mot the same ring to settle their dispute, each demanding the champions 37 1-2 per cent of the purse. Moreover, there rarely are enough top-flight contenders to provide both champions with worth while competition. Hence most of their meetings are with palookas- the surest route to divisional de- cadence.
 But the present situation is dif- ferent. Both Wright and Wilson are excellent fighters, and there's a plentitude of good opponents-de- spite TransparentiS comparatively poor showing last night against Wright.
 Good Field
 Tn addition to Hernandez and Costantino, the feather field in cludes such able lads as Sal Barto!a of Boston; Willie Pep and Bobby Ivy of Hartford, Conn; Cleo Shans of oLs Angeles; Vern Bybee of San Franciscoa; Benny Goldberg and Abe Denner of Detroit; Mike Raffa of Pittsburghfh Tommy oFrte of Philadelphia, and the former Champions Petey Scalzo, Joey Archi- bald and Harry Jeffra.
 Hernandez and Costantino ap parently are the best of the lot, and Hernandez will be favored to lick Costantino on the 23rd because he turned the trick with an unexpected but easy eight-round decision at Dexter Park here on June 19 They're fighting 12 rounds at Madi- son Square Garden on the 23rd, but their battle is the semi final to the Tami Maudiello-Red Burman To- round heavyweight main event Mike Jacobs may have programmed his bouts in this unusual fashion f1nal-but for New York fans, al 10-round main and 12-round semi least, the main event will be the two featherweights-for feathers now are flying high.

by academic torpedoeS.
 Pee Brown had a spot for him on his 1942 edition. A triple-threater of good speed, he is the type of 1 back around wohm Brown builds his offense.
 Ohio tSate, say the High Street experts, will be streamlined this year. No bulky behemoths in Scar let and Gray will clutter up the greensward under Brown. His team will be small as Big Ten standards go, fast as a whippet and tough.
 That was Paul Browns success formula at Massillon and now that he has been in the saddle for a year the material Is being built to his specifications. In happier days, Frank Kovacs, the Pagliacci of the net, was an amusing fellow. But the sobering effect of war has put the damper on his histrionics.
 At the recent National ProfeS- sional Tournament, the galleryites were so incensed by Kovacs' child ish proclivities they gave him g good, wet Bronx cheer with all oi the fortissimo of Ebbets Fielt bleacherites.
 While Kovacs whined about deci' sions, acted generally ramfunc- tious, raved and ranted, the gal lery continued to pour forth the un melodic music so foreign to sacro sanct Forest Hills.

Twelve Round Route
 May Bother Pep

Hartford, July 14-Abe Denner of Boston, generally recognized as the New England featherwei5nt cham pior since the night in 1940 that he knocked out Sal Bartolo, puts his claims to the title on the line next Tuesday night at Bulkeley Stadium in taking on Willie Pep of Hart ford. Abe the Newsboy successfully defended his crown in 15-round bout with "Snooks" Lacey at Prov idence a year ago.
 But since then there have been no challengers, that is, none until Willie Pep came along. The local East Slider has been busily engaged in preparing for this one. He has been booked for a 12-round fight for the first time in his career, four more than his usual eight-rounders And he has done extensive road work to develop his wind and en- durance.
 Both Beat Champs
 Pep has won 43 straight pro fights, including a recent victory over former worlds hcampion Joey Archibald. Denner beat Jackie Will son, the MEAS present world title- holder, in an overweight match in Boston last March, and defeated Vince DellOrto in another recent fight in Providence. Only last week DelPOrto turned around and whip- ped Jackie Callura, high-ranlsing featherweight in New Orleans.
 Denner, squired by Mike Kaplan, New England welterweight champ, will be in here Saturday to com plete his training for the match
 Tickets for the fight are being sold at one, two and three dollars. plus taxes, at several Hartford tick ct agencies and at the Modern News Store in MiddletoWn.

 "Six thousand pers ons drowned in the United States in 1941," Laveaga comments. Most of the accidents could have been avoided"
 Here are his warnings and tips:
 After the winter lay-off take your swimming in easy doses. You may not be as good as you used to be. 2-Don't take fool ish chances. Many fatal accidents result from horse-play in deep water.

 5-Swim only at a super vised beach or pool.
 6-Don't go in the water soon after a meal.
 Don't dive until you're sure how deep the water Is. The other fellow may not need as much as you.
 Sits not brave to give or take a dare. It's downright silly.
 9-Stay out of canoes and rowboats if you can't swim. If a boat turns over while you're in 1t, cling to 1t for support.
 10-Learn artificial respira- ton. It may mean the differ ence between saving a life and losing one.
 ll-If you can reach . per- son in trouble with a pole, belt or towel, do so. It's more sem sible than jumping in.

lately. But Mr. Mellett, who said
horse operas and such were
okay by him, went on to recon-

One was abolition of the
double bills. He indicated that
the double bill was making the
American people soft.

To get the full drift of how
completely silk and antiquat-
ed is the Senate procedure over
this poll tax bill, all you have to
do is consider what might have
happened to the African cam
paign, if, instead of being COM
handed by Generals Eisenhow-
er, Clark, Patton and Doolittle,
the invasion had been command
ed by u. S. senators.
Surprising Senator Dear AL
ben w. Barkley of Paducah, KY,
had been in command instead of
General Eisenhower. Supposing
Senator the Hon. Wall Doxey of
Holly Springs, Miss, had been
given the job of preliminary re-
connaissance entrusted to Gen.
eral Clark. Supposing command
of the armored force had been
given to Senator Theodore G..
Whataman Bilbo of Poplarville,
Miss, instead of to G n a |
Blood and Cuts Patton. And
supposing command of the air
forces had been given to Sen
ator Kenneth Mcclellan of Mem
phis, Tenn, instead Of to Gen.
Jimmy Doolittle.
All such comparisons are OBJ
viously odious, and they are be-
side the point of rightness or
wrongness of the poll tax issue
itself. But some kind of a con-
trast of this kind is necessary to
present this battle in the Senate
in it's utter futility and to show
that in wartime this is no way to
run a Senate or a war.
Picture therefore, Command
ing General Barkley trying to
get his general staff organized
