a hilarious stay.
Margaret Dumont has been

perhaps one of the most elegant

The public is most familiar

 Late Rally

Cleveland, June 24. - UP) = Boxing made what may be It's last major contribution to a mili- tary fund here last night when 8 crowd of 23,574 paid approximately $100,O00 to see Melio Bettina of Beacon, N. Y, pound out a TO- round decision over Harry Bobo of Pittsburgh in the feature of an all- star bomber for Macarthur" pro- gram at Cleveland Stadium.
 Off The Floor
 Bettina, who beat Bcbo in a match several months ago, was bat tered to the canvas in the fifth round for a nine count, but came back in the late rounds to score close win over the Pittsburgh Sum- day School teacher. It was his 33rd straight victory as a heavyweight.
 Too fast and too smart for Bobo, Bettina pummeled him with hard rights to the head and lefts to the body that had the Pittsburger bleed- ing from nose and mouth throughout the fight. The United Press score sheet gave Bettina seven rounds with the giant Negro taking only the second, fifth and seventh.

 New York, June 24 - (UP)-The New York Giants, who have spent so much time in the dog house that they still are inclined to nibble at biscuits, respond to loud whistles and growl at cats, are suddenly finding themselves happy parties to the prize paradox of the season. The Giants are winning new friends as faSt-or faster-than they are los- ing games.
 They are winning these friends, and effecting reconciliationS with hundreds of old but estranged ones !n dasiapoe of all the rules, reRula- tions and traditions. One of base balls oldest maxims is that only 8 team whose fortunes are rising can lure the crowds to the park. Well, the Giants are still going nowhere fast, but there are customers on hand to watch them.
 A year ago the Polo Grounds stands were bare and hushed. The oldsters in the long green press box tapped requiemS to the days of yore. Even the newer hands solemnly took notice of what they called the pass in of an era. The team itself was dead as near beer. The games were dull. AS for the fans, they went to Brooklyn or sullenly stayed at home
 Attractive
 Today, things are changing at the Polo Grounds. Actually, the team isn't appreciably improved over l94l. Today, New York is fourth in the National league standings, l2 l-2 games behind oem buns, the Dodg- CTS. A year ago the Giants were third, only nine games off the pace But today the team is attractive both tot the eye and to the ear.
 The Giants began their decline in public favor when the Dodgers started their dizzy rise. John Mo- Graw's boys had fallen away one by one. Col. Will Terry. whatever his merits, was not popular lead- CT with either the players or the fans. Members of the old guard, who once chGered their favorites in de- feat as well as victory, fell away too.
 Now one of the last of the Mc- Graw boys is finding the way back That is little Mel Ott, who has been a Giant almost all his life. Oti hasn't been able to transform his club into a pennant threat because he is only Q manager, not Q mags. clan. He has no pitching and ht admits the fact. But he has hitting ] and hitting is the order of the day

Today's Sport Parade

While Otis personal appeal has proven enough tot fire the sparks in the old-timers who remember the Giants when, 1t is another factor which has excited the youngsters. That factor is power-big, raw Jumps of power personified by long lawn Mize, willard Marshall and yes, even Dutch Lieber. They hit the long, Yankee type of ball, and things are no longer dull.
 Handicapped
 He came to the Giants suffering from a sore Shoulder-yet he heads the league in batting in runs. Per- haps Ott should smack few of the other boys on the collar-boph end improve them.
 With Marshall, Lieber and Ott in the game, the Giant attack is a high-voltage proposition. The hits don't rattle off fast enough to com pete with a castanet, but when they do rattle they are something to watch. They sail high, wide and deep and they are handler than a UTOOIn WIlcAl Ab GOsAAcS bAAAAS " oWCCP clean the bases. Statistics prove that.
 Figures may mean a lot or a little but at least they are indicative. Hence; the Giants have scored 285 rurns, or more than any club except the Dodgers. Yet, on a percentage basis they rank sixth. The conclu- Workers may not hit as often but sion is an obvious one. The New they hit harder than five teams in the league. But as for defense, well
 The Giants have given up 49 more runs than Cincinnati and 75 more than the Dodgers. So another con- clusion is obvious. There is little wrong with the squad that two starting pitchers couldn't cure. The infield is old, but adequate. The outfield is excellent. The catching IS competenet. But the pitching just can't measure ID to the offense.
 Where Ott, general manager Ters ry or owner Horace Stoneham will find new pitching material is pug gle which does not come equipped with a solution. But if they can find 1t, the fans will adopt an old Brook Iyn slogan and we'll be hearing it echo for some time to come. You know the one--that grand old fa- vorite, "Just walt 'til next year"
