SPORTS
PARADE
By JACK GUENTHER

NEW YORK, June 20. (UP)-
Wrapping up a few loose threads:
BASEBALL-Memb of the ma
jor league social security club, which
boasts such grand-daddies as Paul
Waner, 80; Charlie Gehringer, 80;
Ted Lyons, Al; John Cooney, Al;
and Ray Starr, 36 but just rookie ;
and hereby given notice to move
over and make room for Floyd Caves
Babe Il musta lost it in the SUM
Herman. Now 80, the Babe has
returned to action with the proverb-
ial bang. Playing with the Holly
wood Stars, he is leading the Pacific
Coast league batters with the extrav-
above the runner-up. AS well, he is
back at first base, the position at
which he debuted before he became
what is loosely termed an out
fielder Brooklyn oldtimers recall
the Babe with great waves of Nos
talgia. Always a hefty batsman-
he once hit .393-Hoiman was loved
more in Flatbush for his work afield,
which was strictly out of this world.
Wonder if Holman still trips over
imaginary wheel barroWS?
BOXING - Speaking of things
which are out of this world, give
a quick look at the boxing pro-
gram which will be held in Cleve-
land Tuesday on a gigantic bomber
for Macarthur" show. There will be
five 10-round bouts, most of which
could stand by themselves as main
events. Melio Bettina meets Harry
Bobo; joey Maxim will settle q
grudge with Jimmy BivinS; Johnny
Colan and Anton Christoforidis will
engage in a return match; Lem
Franklin goes against Sgt. Joe Mus
cato and Make Shapiro faces Harry
Teaney. The Bettina-Bo clash is
the significant item from a boxing
standpoint, but what / consider the
most refreshing is the statement
that "the ring will be set up at
home plate and no seat will be far
ther removed than first or third
base" Shucks, men, anything that
close at Mike Jacobs production
is ringside.
