 Against Abe Denner
pan sPoRTs-WILLrE

p@Ai O1O1t1 D. WILLIE
 Hartford, Conn, Julyy 22-(UP)- Willie Pep, 125 1-2, hard punching Hartford featherweight. is the New England featherweight box n z champion today.
 Pep, who continually wades in and never ceases firing, won his 44th straight professional victory last night by outpointing Abe Denner, l25. Boston, the New England title- holder, in a 12-round championship bout before more than 5000 fans.
 According to referee Lou Bo. gash's score-card, Pep won 10 of the IF rounds, but there were many in the crowd who believed Pep had won all of them. The Hartford puncher, still undefeated, plastered theh Boston fighter continually throughout the fight, and piled up an impressive margin of points.
 Tony Falco, 147, MiddIetown. won a close decision over Lennox Dingie, l45 1-2, Philadelphia, in hard six round preliminary. Art Tatta, 155, New Haven, outpointed Ralph Yo- vella, l56 l-2, Hartford, (6); Billy Marcus. l27. Hartford, decisioned Joey Wasnick, 127 1-2, New Haven, (6).

Oddly enough, Ott's club also threatens to finish pretty high in another race, this one a strictly To- cal affair involving the Dodgers, The Giants are daily becoming . more popular metropolitan favorits since they have unleashed . punch- laden attack, spiced with frequent homers, while Brooklyn is becoming one of the most disliked clubs in the National league. The Dodgers are feuding with everybody and anybody and, should they start to falter in the stretch, perhaps even the "out of this world" loyalty so peculiar to Ebbets field, might un- dergo a change.
 Maynard Hero
 Buster Maynard's single with tho bases loaded drove in the tying and winning runs as the Giants defeat- ed the Pirates, 6-5, yesterday for their fifth win in six starts. The Pirates played the game under pro- test when Umpire Lee Ballanfant, who had ruled Johnny Mize was not hit by a pitched ball during the game winning rally in the eighth, changed his mind when the first baseman displayed the blood on his hand. Carl Hubbell scattered nine hits for his fourth victory and third in row.
 Brooklyn opened a 13-day home stand by beating the Reds, 8-4. The Dodgers loosed hve-run barrage against Paul Derringer in the second inning, while Johnny Allen coasted to his eighth victory by holding the Reds to six safeties. Ray Lamanno's error at the plate allowed the first Brooklyn run to score in the big second and the others followed when Augie Galan, Arky Vaughan. Dixie Walker and Joe Medwick au- thored successive hits.

M Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed Mcdonald pitched seven innings of softball at Donovan Field last night as Joe Mulville's Waterbury Misfits walloped Phil Casman's Connecticut Whistle Hooters, IA to 6, in one of the most comical con- tests possible. Mac was the winning pitcher, according to the local ver- sion of the story which will prob- ably be denied in New Haven papers tomorrow after Carman gets peek at Brass City reports.
 Dr. Edward Godfrey, health of- ficer, did such grand job as re- ceiver for Mac he will undoubtedly be signed for the balance of the season by Matty Doyle to perform in the Watertown Avenue summer league. What ones Doc did catch were on the second bounce.

BY PAUL SCHEFFEL Limited Press Staff Correspondent

New York, July p = (UP) - The New York Giants helped considerably by the surprisingly inadequate play of the Cincinnati Reds, perched within half game of third place today thus focusing attention likeable Mel Ott as possible choice for manager of the year."
 Certainly, if Ott to pilot the Giants into the National League first division only would be astonishing enough considering the meagre material he's to work with But for the New Workers who finished out of the money for the past three years under Bill Terry to wind up third, the dninutve outfelder would warrant baseball award of honor with couple of palms good measure

BOROWY EXPERIMENTS
 WITH NEW PITCHING GRIPS

Other pitchers have been and are handicapped by bl.stered fingers caused by the tightly gripped ball sliding oil the tips.
 Grover Cleveland Alexander used to celebrate in the spring when his blister finally broke and the skin toughened. Robert Moses Grove and Vernon Gomez changed grips to correct the trouble, from which Claude Passeau of the Cubs also suffers.
 Borowy Is now experimenting with new grips, but Joe Mccarthy fears that any strange way in throwing the ball may throw his newest star of. He has advised Borowy to throw during the off, season until callous develops on the tender spot.
 Borowy won his eight game the other afternoon when he shut out the Detroits with two hits. It was his second shutout, and he accom- plished the feat in an hour and 24 minutes. tying the world champions fastest game of the campaign. He pitched to only 30 men, which is no more than three above par, and only one Tiger reached second. He has been beaten only once.
 Hank BoroWy came along quickly once Paul Krichell dug up that fountain pen in June, 1889.

ALL BOROWY HAS TO DO IS STAY THE WAY HE IS

Forager Kr!chelI will all season round gladly pay $500 extra for pitchers like the one Borowy turned out to be.
 Charley Ruffing was asked how good pitcher Borowy is.
 Great" said Rufus the Red.
 Hell be better."I offered.
 All he has to do Is stay the way he is," replied Ruffing.
 Blond Borowy, right-hander standing an even six feet and weighing 175 pounds, does not have to depend on any freak delivery. He is sneaky fast and has the re- quired curve and pitching savvy. He has remarkable control and keeps the ball low.
 His biggest problem is . blister which keeps developing on the middle finger of his throwing hand.
 At times he pitches with the finger throbbing like blazes.
 Joe Mccarthy took Borowy out of 8 winning game in the eighth inning the other afternoon. He didn't want the blister to break. If 1t had broken, Borowy would have missed his next turn.

New York, July-Henry Ludwig Borowy was 8 mild sensation at Fordham, where Jack Cohey, the old shortstop, polished the rough edges of the Polish youngster who stood out at Bloomfield, N. J., High and Montclalr, N. J., Academy.
 Every major league club sought Hank Borowy, 90 when Paul Krich- ell called at the Rose Hill freshmen coaches offlce to sign him, the Yankees were prepared to pay a neat figure.
 "Il give you $sOOO," said Scout Krichell. The offer fairly knocked Collegian Borowy oil his pins, but when Krichell pulled out the con- tract no one had a fountain pen. KrichelI, eager to close for a recog- nized pitching prize. hustled down. stairs to the gymnasium locker room to get one.
 It was here that Boroway first demonstrated to the New Yorks that they landed young man as smart and quick thinking out of the box as he is in 1t. The ease with which he got $8000 convinced Bor- owy that he could have a little more, so when Krichell returned with the ink the youngster asked for $500 additional-and collected

Purely
Commentary
BY PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
IN THEIR PARENTS
FOOTSTEPS

Don't let anyone tell you that
our young people are not devoted
to Jewish causes. Look at the
record, make study of the young
leadership, and you will find that
many of the rising stars on the
Jewish armament are young peO-
pie with splendid backgrounds and
family traditions for Jewish inter-
eSts. The Warburgs and the ROs-
enwalds and the MarshalIs are not
the only shining lights.
Look in on the office of the
Council for Democracy on West
42nd Street in New York. You
will find, in responsible jobs,
young people with well-known
names. There is Miss Sara M.
Lamport, the daughter of the late
Samuel c. Lamport, who is dedi-
eating herself to the task of
spreading the democratic ideal.
Then there is Raymond S. Rub
inow, who was in his day one of
the outstanding social workers in
America.
And to top it off, Marshall ID.
Shulrnan, the Executive Vice
President Of Council for DemOc-
racy-a very responsible job for
a very young man-haiIs from a
prominent midwestern family. His
parents, the Harry M. Shulmans
of Detroit, are active in many
fields, and one of the best-knOwn
members of this family was the
late Max ShuIman of Chicago.
OUR JEWISH WARRIORS
Samuel H. Abramson of the
Jewish Section of the Interfaith
Committee for Aid to the Democ-
racies has compiled some inter-
esting figures. Jewish names, he
shows, are very conspicuous in
the Canadian forces. The Cohens
are especially prominent. So are
the Goldbergs and the Friodmans
and the Greenbergs-and also the
hramsons, about which our re-
search man boasts.
More amazing, however, is the
following observation made by Mr..
AbramsOn.
"Close study of the lists reveal
cd other information. For in
stance, there are two Jewish boys
in the army named RIFLE, and
one named QUINN. There are also
number of Jewish soldiers, sail
ors and airmen who bear such fine
old Jewish names as Chapman,
Collins, Cameron, Campbell, Clap
lam, Chambers, Costello, Grips,
Evans, Hitler, Hyde, James, Jol-
ley, jeffrey, Keene, Kerr, King,
Leighton, Livermore, Marshall,
Moore, Morgan and Thomson. But
the real gems are the names Don
ovan Thorndick, Albert James
Windsor, Robert Christensen and
Hugh Jarvis Bedell, all borne by
brave Jews wearing his Majesty's
uniform"
Which suggest that the study of
Jewish participation in the war
may be supplemented with a sOciO-
logical study of name-changing
and name-adOptiOn by Jews.
The English can perhaps tell an
even more interesting tale. Dur
ing the early days of the war it
was difficult to ascertain the num-
Der of Jews in the British military
forces, because so many of our
boys were afraid lest they run
into trouble if caught prisoners
by the Nazis. Today the story is
entirely different, and there is a
spirit of confidence and courage
that surpasses all previous rec
ords..
