New York, June 2.-A letter from Roy Popkin of the Blood Donor Division, Brooklyn chapter, Amer ican National Red Cross:
 Brooklyn Dodgers, first in the National League, first baseball club to stage a Navy Relief benefit, first to adopt the 10 per cent payroll deduction war bond plan and first to volunteer as Minute Men, become the first to join the Red cross Blood Donor Drive.
 "The Ebbets Field Navy Relief game at twilight outgrossed all similar baseball productions. The Dodgers played the Giants, always magnetic attraction in inter-bor- ough rivalry. The same clubs meet in twilight game at the Polo Grounds for Army and Navy Re- lief, Aug. 3.
 Every member of the Brooklyn organization, from President Larry MacPhail down to the peanut ven- dors of the Valdosta, Ga, farm club, is pledged to take 10 per cent ot his income in War Bonds.
 Brooklyn players acting as Min ute Men canvassed the borough, signed residents for War Bonds and Stamps.
 "All players, club oficials-from Mrs. James A. Mulvey to Babe Hamburger-and members of the office staff signed a blood donors pledge. Joining them were Frank Frisch of the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates, Umpire Chief Bill Klem, Owner Dan Topping of the profess sional football Dodgers, baseball writers and others.
 President MacPhail arranged for the Dodgers to officially sign at home plate before twilight game with the Boston Braves and to have the brief ceremony broadcast Simul- taneously via radio and the public address system.
 "He arranged for blood donor ap- pointment cards to be given spec tators as they entered the park. He arranged for the radio announcer to appeal to fans listening in to telephoning the Brooklyn Red Cross for an appointment
 Previous appeals by the Ebbets Field announcer brought more than 2,000 donors to the Brooklyn Red Cross and hundreds of others to the New York and Queens chapters. The Brooklyn Red Cross has all ready received 12,O0O pints of blood in its drive for 75,00O plasma units.

CrOnin Finally
 SOurS On Baby. Stuff of Williams

Boston, July 2-(UP)-Ted Will Hams, the Boston Red Sox tenn peramental slugger, was in the dog house today for the third occasion in his brief but sensational major league career, and this time Man. ager Joe Cronin declined to play "wet nurse" to his childish antics
 Teammates, fans and sports writers were arrayed against the gangling outf1elder for his loafing in yesterdays doubleheader against Washington in which Boston won two games tho draw within three contests of the leading New York Yankees.
 Williams was booted out of the second game in the fifth inning by Cronin because he wasn't giving his best to the club" In two pre- vious outbursts, Cronin had taken Williams part.
 Cronin said he hadn't fined or suspended Williams and wouldn't decide his course of action until before the start of today's game with Washington.
 Kid Stuff
 Every other one of my players as much as demanded that I take this action against him though I'd have done so anyway" Cronin said. We're right on the heels of the Yankees. We've got our best chance in years to win a pennant. We can't afford to have that chance ruined by Williams childish tan trums, and we won't have it ruined by him."
 Williams is batting $40, far of his 400 pace of last year, but he leads both leagues in home runs. runs batted in and runs scored.
 Williams was booed by the crowc of nearly 11,oO0 when he made only half-hearted attempt to hit in the third inning of the nightcap. Wher he went back to the outf1eld, the bleacher fans began to ride hin and he snapped back at them.
 In the fifth, he took two strikes without moving, then pushed 8 double to left center, trotting slow ly to second. He ambled to thirc on Bobby Doerr's single to left anc scored at a snail's pace on an in. field out.
 Keep Going"
 As he reached the bench, Cronin told him to keep right on to the showers" Pete Fox replaced him in left field.
 Cronin said he understood Will Hams told the boys in the clubhouse he was sorry for his actions. But he'll have to be more than sorry to square himself" Cronin said. Hell have to stop being temperamental.
 The Sox won, 3-2, and 7-l, picking up IF games on the Yan- kees who lost to Philadelphia. The Tanks come hEre tomorrow for vital three-game series.

Six Thousand Persons Drowned Last Year; Here Are 12 Good Rules for All Swimmers

have a water buddy, preferably swimmer stronger than you are.
 5-Swim only at 8 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.
 8-It's 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 it, cling to it for support.
 10-Learn artificial respira- ton. It may mean the differ ence between saving life and losing one.
 Tiff you can reach . per- son in trouble with a pole, belt or towel, do so. It's more sem sible than jumping in.

 New York, July Twelve safety rules for swimmers and bathers are listed by Robert E. Laveaga, president of the Ma tional Physical Education So- ciety of the Y.M.C.A., in an effort to lower last years heavy toll.
 "Six thousand perS ons drowned in the United States in l941," 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.
 &Don't take foo ish chances. Many fatal accidents result from horse-play in deep water.
 3-Walk out and swim in. That way you'll never get be- yond your depth.

BOSOX DESERVE CHAM PIONSHIP REPRESENT PACE
Yankees Lose to As on Bad Throw; Passeau
 First to Win l2 Games
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff COrrespondent)

| (Onlteu FreSS StaH COTEeSpOnQenLJ
 New York, July 2 - CUPO - Psychology has definite place in winning baseball and perhaps lack of a deep-rooted urge to win is the trouble with the New York Yankees. From purely analytical standpoint however, plus emphasis on mechan- ical abilities or weaknesses, the Bos- ton Red Sox today look like the team that deserves to win the American League pennant. The Red Sox are playing like champion. Of the ight regulars, exluding the pitchers, four are hit ting above 300. Bobby Doerr has .346, Ted Williams .336, John Pesky .336 and Dom DiMaggio .3O1.
 Boston's pitching-annually sore spot - has developed amazingly. Dick NeWsome, Oscar Judd, Charley Wagner and Tex Hughson all have won seven. Joe Dobson, out almost a month, returned to form with 8 f1ve-hitetr against Washington yes terday for his fifth and Tank Ter ry made it No. in the second game.
 The Red Sox moundsmen have turned in 13 complete jobs in their last 18 games and if they maintain that pace, it may mean the pen nant for Tom Yawkey.
 Wild Throw Beats Tanks
 The Athletics knocked off the Yankees, 54 last night before 18,- S81 night game fans at Philadelphia. A wild throw by Relief Pitcher Johnny Murphy permitted the win ming run to score with one out in the ninth. Singles by Pete Suder and Billy Knickerbocker opened the inning. Pitcher Luman Harris bunt- ed safely and when Murphy heaved wildly to third, Suder scored. Joe DiMaggio homered for the Yankees.
 The Red Sox picked up a game and a half on the Yankees, whip ping Washington, 3-2 and 7-1. Three hits and sacrifice produced the winning run in the first game. Terry pitched hitless for the last three innings and took the win. Dobson, aided by four Boston dou- ble plays held the Senators to five hits in the nightcap.
 Cleveland jumped on Orval Grove for seven runs in the first inning and then coasted to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Vet eran Al Smith yielded only seven hits for his seventh victory and the Indians fourth in a row.
 St. Louis climbed to within 3 1-2 games of the first division, wallo- ping Detroit, 12-0. The Browns scored in every inning but one, blasting IA hits.
 Elden Auker held the Tigers to five hits for his 10th win.
 White Washed
 Ernie White pitcher a ix-hitter and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 40. It was Whites third victory and first since May 25 and trimmed Brooklyn's s National League lead to eight games
 The Cards collected 10 hits of Ken Heintzelnsan and Aldon Wilkie, each of four players garnering pair of safeties.
 Boston's game at Brooklyn was postponed. ....
 Claude Passeau became the first major leaguer to win 12 games this year when he pitched the Chicago Cubs to 5-2 win over the Reds be- fore 7.098 fans in Cincinnati night game. After three hits netted the Reds two in the first, Passeau yield ed only two more safeties the rest of the way.

Newark Has Another Gordon For Tanks
StirnWeiSS Is
 Best In Years, Say All Scouts
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Newark, July 2-George Stirn- weiss has stirred up more excite ment among Newark fans than did the renowned Joe Gordon.
 Veteran baseball men say the Bears have another Gordon" for the Yankees in the chunky son of g. Bronx policeman who first crashed the headlines as re- markable back for North Caro- lima.
 Stirnweiss demoralizes the op- position with his speed.
 On second base with his club one run behind the other after noon, he so annoyed the Syracuse pitcher that husky Frank Kelle- her worked the count to two and three and then got ball he could hit out of the park.
 On another occasion, Stirnweiss stole second, and when the ball was thrown into center field, did not stop running until he scored. He has stolen 27 bases already. Last year the International league leader had no more than 24. BEATS OUT BUNTS,
 HAS GOOD POWER
 StirnweiSs, 5-feet 8 and weigh ing 175 pounds, is batting .307. He beats out bunts and has good pow CT, the latter proved by his seven triples. He is 8 right-hand batter.
 Stirnweiss makes that tough play at second base.
 When he goes behind the bag for a ball, you hear baseball men say that only Joe Gordon could do that.
 Stirnweiss plays anywhere in the infield, and over here they suspect that he'll wind up at third base for the New Works, with Gerry Priddy devoting his entire time and attention to first base. That is provided there is profes- sional baseball next spring and the young men are still available. ROBERTSON EXPECTED TO SUCCEED DICKEY
 Stirnweiss went to North Caro- lima because he did not believe he would have much chance in a big Fordham backfield.. He is one football player who was not left bunchy -muscled by the game.
 Scouts agree with Bill Terry of the Giants that George St!rnWeiss is the slickest minor league in- fielder in years.
 Yankees get 'em. In Newark, all are position that it will be Aaron Robertson who will step in behind the bat for the New Yorks when Bill Dickey hangs up his tack as a regular. They say Buddy Rosar can't move with Robertson, 8 huge left-hand bat ter now hitting .360.
 Newark also has a whale of a shortstop in Bill Johnson, 8 Mont clair, N. J., youth who is at the position for the first time after experience in the outfield and at third base. He's batting .319 and has nine home runs.
 Southpaw Tommy Byrne, who was given $12,00O to sign fresh from Wake Forest, has won nine and lost one and is batting 1862. In his last three games, Byrne came through with his own big hit in the ninth.
 All of this and more on one Yankee farm.
 I won't go into the others.
 That would be too brutal.
