NEW YORK, Aug. ID - CUP) -
Fritzie zivic, former welterWeight
champion of the world, fought his
way off one of the worst spots
upon which any pugilist ever was
placed and today ranks with Cham
pion Freddie Cochrane and Chal-
lenger Ray Robinson as one of the
three top drawing cards of his di-
vision.
Zivic, 80 years old and more or
less unpopular, was squarely on the
spot last night when he tangled
with Corp. Gravey Young of the
U. S. Marines before nearly $4,000
fans at Madison Square Garden.
Virtually every one in the Garden
was hoping that Young, the youth
full Marine, would win. The fans
wanted Young to win because of
their natural patriotism and be-
cause of some of the questionable
tactics Zivic had used in gaining
some of his New York victories
including his two triumphs over
that little perpetual motion man,
Henry Armstrong, from whom he
won the 147-pound crown. The
boxing writer's, without exception,
wanted Young to win because it
would have made a better story.
The could have written apple
crashers" about the Marine that
landed upon zivic's chin, etc

Cleo Shans, former Brawley boot
black and more recently of Los
Angeles, continued his swath thru
eastern boxing circles Thursday
night when he scored a close de-
cision over Make Shapiro, New
York fighter, in Madison Square
Garden.
The match was close all the way
with both men using their best
slugging tactics. The former I'M
perial Valley lightweight was a
pound lighter than Shapiro, who
stripped to 1921.
The bout was one of three ten

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

IL must be stated that these CASH
eS were caused by fist blows and
not butts, for Fritzie was afraid
to do any butting. He knew that if
he opened up his Pittsburgh bag
of tricks against the popular young
Marine he probably would be
lynched without court martial or
even habeaS corpus.
But it so happened that Corporal
Young is a SouthpaW, a type of
fighting man whom Zivic regards
as fish. Zivic had met four port
siderS previously in his career and
had taken good care of them: Dick
Demary, Mike Barto, Jimmy Harri-
son, and Joe Anderson. Each one
of those southpaWs circled to Zivic s
left, as smart southpaw should
when facing a smart fighter who
can knock his brains out with a
right.
CIRCLED RIGHT
The youthful Marine, riding a
string of 81 straight victories, cir
cled to Zivic's right and ancient
Fritzie-timing himself like the
master boxer that he is threw
right hands until Young was a
bloody mess. Those straight rights
massacred the irate Marine, who
only last spring had beaten Welter-
weight Champion Freddie Cochrane
at Boston. Last spring Corporal
Young had licked Cochrane, who in
July, 1941, wrested the 147-pound
crown from zivic at Newark, N. j.,
in one of the modern games great
est upsets.
Hence it is that Zivic, an old man
of the ring who won the title from
Henry Armstrong at 27 and lost it
TO Cochrane at %, promised today.
"I1l get it back at 20, if l can
get Cochrane into the ring again"
Zivic. last of five fighting bro
theirs and comparatively wealthy
because of the purses he has ham
mered out with his fists during the
past decade, insists
"IIl never quit fighting until I
get back that championship. No,
don't need the money But I want
the satisfaction of getting that title
again. If I get it, I may retire
without defending it But, I'll get
it."
Meanwhile Promoter Mike Jacobs
was trying to match ziyic with Co.
chrane for any kind Of a fight

are listed there also, just to serve
as a reminder. If they need more
than that perhaps string should
be supplied to truss up their fingers
to make them remember.
B league officials have been ra-
ther lax in their rules regarding
postponed games, allowing teams
to make up missed games instead
of forfeiting them. Unfortunately
SOME of the managers appear to
have taken advantage of the Situ-
alton and when it is a little diff
cult to get players they call the
game off and arrange to play it at
a later date.
Such practice is going to force
the league to continue to play in
definitely and they'll be lucky to
finish the season when it's time
to begin play in 1943.
If a team can't be rounded up,
say so and forfeit the game.
Winter baseball down here where
it's a little too warm to play in the
summer is going to be in for good
year come next cool spell. At least
that's the opinion of Jack Tackett,
manager of the Ell Centro Redbirds.
Tackett says he's going to start
his boys practicing in September
in order to get them in shape when
the season starts in December.
Last year the Redbirds weren't
organized until Immediately before
the season began. 1t showed up in
their playing. But Tackett prom
ises that won't happen again.
He issued a call Friday for the
boys with the dozen suits of the
team to turn them in for launder-
ing so they will look neat and
spiffy when September comes.

DIDN'T LAND


But Young was one Marine who
didn't land-not on Zivic'S Whisk-
ers. at least. Ancient Fritzie, who
has been fighting as a professional
for a full decade, disappointed the
unusually large rainy-night crowd
by betting the daylights out of
Corporal Young and stopping him
on a technical knockout in the
sixth round or rather between
rounds, before the bell had rung
for the seventh session TO start
Referee Young Otto, who holds
the all-time record for one-round
knockouts, incidentally, intervened
in the corner because Corporal
Young was bleeding so profusely
from gashes on both brows. He
was spouting blood from the cash
on his right brow-a cut that re-
quired seven stitches later at the
Polytechnic hospital The other
gashes each required two stitches.

victory over the Cardinals yester-
day. The Bruins collected ID hits
and eight walks off a quartet of
pitchers for their fifth victory in

games behind the idle Dodgers.
OriS Hockett cleaned the bases
with a double in the ninth inning
to bring Cleveland a 80 win over
the Tigers and broke a SiX-game

gil trucks shut out the Indians for
eight innings, but filled the basses
on walks in the ninth. Jack Will

only five hits Bagby held the Tig-

Passeau Wins No.
1bfor Cubs as
Cardinals Bow

NEW YORK, Aug. ii - (UP) -
With pennant competition in the
majors on the wane, the experts
have been turning their attention
to the question of how many pitch
ers-if any-will win 20 games this
season. And they have just about
decided that Chicago's Claude Pas
seau may be the lone man to turn
the trick.
Passeau heads both leagues in
games won with 16 and, pitching at
his regular rate of every fifth day,
he should come through with a sea-
sons total of 81 victories, since
there are six weeks of play remain
ing. The 31-year- -old right-hander
has lost only eight games.
ALL IN THE
Locked in a three-way tie as the
next-beSt possibilities in the Ma
tional League are Johnny Beazley of
the Cards, Whit Wyatt of the Dod-
gers and Johnny Wander Nicer of
the Reds, each of whom have won
13 games Wyatt's present pace
hardly seems indicative of a 90
game season, but Beazley and VAN
der Nicer, who go to the hill more
often, may land in the circle.
There are six candidates in the
American League, headed by Tex
Hughson of the Red Sox who has
won IA games. Hughson's pace has
been so consistent-he's lost only
three-that he appears almost GER
tain to win 20.
For the others, however, it looks
tough. Spud Chandler and Ernie
Bonham of the Yankees, Jim Bag
by of the Indians, Phil Marchildon
of the AS and Eden Auker of the
Browns all have won 13. Chandler
and Bonham are not called on to
work often enough. Bagby'S support
isn't good enough to insure him 20
wins while Marchildon and Auker
are up against similar problems.

Transportation Problem
Causing Slump, Says
Trade Publication
Fs the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, July 22.-United
States Oil field operations have
slumped sharply this year because
of wartime transportation difficult
ties and the shortages of drilling
materials.
Drilling activity this month may
show decline of more than so per
cent since July last year, the Oil and
Gas Journal will say tomorrow
Three areas showed signs of in
creasing activity-Californi where
more heavy oil is needed; Illinois,
where production has been dropping
slowly but steadily, and West Texas,
where additional oil is not required.
In view of the trends of produc-
ton now apparent, the Journal sug-
gests that the industry faces two
jor problems in connection with
getting the oil to market.
The first is to get oil from the
East Central States to the Atlantic
seaboard and the other is to insure
a supply to the western end of this
SyStcll
In meeting the demands of dis
located system during the war, the
postwar requirements should also
be borne in mind. Getting oil
into the East Central States will
be a major problem after the war
when normal tanker movement to
the East Coast can be resumed"
In the field, the Journal reported
305 competitions in the week ended
July 18, compared to $40 in the
preceding week and 687 In the cor
responding week last year.

"The problem presented by the

OF how best to protect the interests
of the holders of outstanding Hydro
securities. To this problem the

siderable thought. 1t is expected
that very soon plan for complying
with this order in manner which
will deal fairly and equitably with
each class of Hydro security holders,
and which will also avoid the losses
that would result from open market
sales of Hydros portfolio, will be
filed with the SEC for approval.
while no final action has been
reached it is probable that the plan
will provide for the distribution of
the assets of Hydro in kind to its
security holders as soon as such
assets are in suitable form for dis
tribution. In order to put the assets
In form for distribution it is expected
that simplification and consolidation
will be required both for the New
