MOSCOW, June 23.-The gal.

closed the gap the Germans made
in their northern sector two days
ago. stopping the Nazi advance,
the Soviet army newspaper Red
Star said today.
The Germans have reached So

day said that nothing Of impor-
lance" occurred on the front. from
Leningrad 10 the Crimea, last
night. indicating not only that the
situation had improved at Sevas-
topol. but that the renewed Ger.
man drive on the Kharkov front
was making no progress.
NAILS STILL ATTACKING
Red Star said the Germans had
pierced Sevastopol's northern de-
lenses after a two-day battle into
which they poured fresh divisions
of tanks against the numerically
inferior Russians. This was the
gap which has been closed.
Though the Germans still were
furiously assaulting Sevastopors
defenses and sacrificing their i'm
mense strength, Red Star said they
had not made further progress
latter the Russians staged their
rally.
The onslaught was undated or
other sectors, too. Repeated at
tacks-now in their seventeenth
day-were being repulsed. but Red
Star emphasized that the situation
still was grave.

FORK HATES TO LEAVE AMERICAN
Star Off for Chicago and the Cubs;
 Has Broken Rib

Boston, June 2.-(UP)-Chubby Jimmy Foxx bids farewell to the Boston Red Sox and the American league today and entrains for Chi- cago where he expects to report to- morrow to his new boss, Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Cubs.
 Foxx didn't learn of his sale to the National league team yesterday until he arrived in Boston last night after & visit to Philadelphia where son had been hospitalized.
 Naturally, after 18 seasons, l hate to get out of the American league" he said to newsmen after learning of the transaction which probably involved a higher sum of cash than the $7,500 waiver price.
 "The National league will seem strange for while. But Chicago is good city and I expect to get along all right"
 On the Mend
 Foxx doubted whether he would be able to play until sometime next week because of a broken rib he suffered in practice.
 Ulysses Lupien probably will take over Foxx's job for the Red Sox The former Harvard ace is a classy fielder, but his ability to hit major league pitching is questionable Manager Joe Cronin and outfielders Lou Finney and Paul Campbell also are available for the post.

So Beffino Enjoys Rore Distinction
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service annrts Editnr

NEA Service Sports Editor
 New York, June 2--Melio Bettina may never get a crack at Private Joseph Louis Barrow, but if he doesn't he'll quit the ring with a rare distinction. -..
 Bettina will be the only man the distinguished private ever re- fused to fight.
 The Beacon Light gladly would trade his honor for whack at the crown, however, for in addi- ton to profeasing to believe he has 8 chance, how could he poS- sibly make more money faster?
 It's entirely the fault of Bettinas parents, who neglected to turn him around as a child.
 Bettina is, you see, left-hander.
 And I don't fight southpaws," says Private Joe Louis, emphatically.
 So Bob Postor. Billy Conn, Lee Savold and possibly Tami Mauri- ello have Louis all to themselves. LOUIS TACKLED FULL
 SHARE OF SPOILERS
 I can't say I blame the Brown Bomber.
 He has a right to be choosy at this stage of the game.
 He fought more spoilers than any heavyweight champion in his- tory-the countering Charley Mas sera, the elusive Lee Ramage and Patsy Perroni, the awkward Hans Birkie and the cagey Matte Brown, among them several of them when he easily could have been retarded enroute to the heights.

MAURIELLO BEST
 HEAVY PROSPECT
BY HARRY CRIMSON


 New York, June 2-In all the hullabaloo .about the decision, box ing writers muffed the real story of the Robert Pastor-Tami Mauriello match.
 They were too concerned about Bob Pastor being shortchanged and what would happen to his third edi- tion with Pvt. Joseph Louis Bar row.
 Well, Pastor will get another crack at Joe Louis, in Chicago or Cleveland in July, but that is of no great import.
 He won't have as much chance as he had the last trip in Detroit.
 What the critics overlooked is that the Pastor -Maurielol affair un- covered the one fellow who might have look-in with Louis, provided the great patriot Is on the scene two years hence. And 1t wasn't Pas tor.
 Mauriello has the one thing with out which no one can expect to re- pei Louis before he has white whis- kers down to his shoelaces-a wal lop.
 The Bronx kid carries consider able authority in a straight right hand and he isn't afraid to let 1t go.
 Mauriello has come along like d prairie fire. He was fighting mid dleweights only couple of years ago. He came in at l77% the other night, stands feet 11N and Is still sprouting like a young Oregon fir. He has plenty of time. They say he's couple of years younger than the 22 he claims to be. He is go- ing to be big, strong, hard-hitting, dead game 19O-pounder.
 Offhand, would say that Tami Mauriello is the finest heavyweight prospect in sight.
