 With Browns

MILL PLANNERS TO PLAY HILLS
 IN EARLY GAME
TOnlmies and BrOOkIyns and Tribes and AvigIi.
 anese Also Paired

With the Navy Relief benefit ex- hibition game out of the way, the City Amateur league can now con- centrate on this Sundays schedule at Hamilton Park, the third week of the second round.
 Because of their fine showing against the Brooklyn A. 0. last week, the Overlooks, the surprise team of the year, will meet the Sacred Hearts in the feature game of the afternoon at 1 o'clock on diamond No. while the second place Tribunes and Avigs tangle in the diamond No. 2 main go at the same time.
 The pair of curtain raisers sched- uled for 1:45 will pit Brooklyn against the North End Thomas club on the first field while the Washington Hills and Mill Plain will get together on the second field at the same time.
 The Looks are playing the best brand of ball in the league next to the Brooks this year, being defeat ed three times in nine starts. On two of the three occasions the hab- itual cellar dwellers lost out only by one run and 8 hit in the cru- cial stages would have swung ths tilt the other way. The Looks will be out this afternoon to knock off the Hearts who upset them with a pair of late inning unearned runs for a 3-2 win early in the season. Big Bob Malone will get the Look assignment with Lefty Wise or Vih Colopinto as the likely Heart start- CT.
 The Brooklyn--Thomas club game should also be another promising attraction. True, the Tommies have not the power and the pitching that they had year ago when they won the league pennant only to be de- feated in the playoffs by the Brooks, but they still have plenty of zip and may pull the surprise of the year against Eddie DiNapoli's charges. Ted Grabeck or Joey Jay will do the Brooklyn pitching with Leo Gerard or Harp Sullivan work ing for the Tommies.
 The Tribune A. c. tied up with the Brooks in the race for second round honors, should have 8 fairly easy time with the Aviglianese in the feature of the second diamond. Carl Lefty" Verdereme will prob- ably get the mound assignment from Mgr. Packy Shea with Al Harden burgh in reserve. Angelo Basila will show for the Avigs along with Frankie Place. Verdereme pitched Mettler Brothers of New Haven to a 5-1 triumph over Yale Wednes- day night and will be ready to take on the Avigs in Sundays tilt.
 The Washington Hill--Mill Plair. tilt scheduled for diamond No. 2 aS 1:45 should be the best played tilr of the day. Both teams have been far from great this year and will both be out to add to their already weak averages. Junior Carroll or Patty Quilter will work for the Hills with Jack Thompson going for the Plainers.

ROBINSON BOXES
 ANCOTT JULY 3l
Ten-Round Go Scheduled Next Friday Night at
 Madison Square Garden

One year ago this month Ray Robinson won his Fist consecutive fight as 8 professional performer.
 The bout, which took place in Philadelphia, went full ten rounds, first time Robinson had ever travelled that far.
 The fight proved to be the tough est Robinson had ever had. He barely managed to survive the late rally of his opponent and to squeeze through with the decision. The opponent was Sammy Angott and the decision lost that night represents his only defeat in two years of hard campaigning.
 Friday night (July 3D at Madi- son Square Garden Robinson and Angott clash again. Their contest is scheduled for ten rounds and Robinson Is after his 33d consecu- tive victory.
 Robinson was Q lightweight in the Philadelphia fight. Angott was the National Boxing Association lightweight Champion. Sammy's title claim was not at stake. To- day Angott is the world lightweight Champion, having beaten Lew Jen- kins for the title last December at the Garden.
 But he cannot put his crown on the line against Robinson because Sugar Ray is no longer a light weight. The undefeated Harlem boxer is now a member of the well terweight division, has ben since last October when he trounced Fritzie Zivic, former welterweight champion. He weighed IA pounds when he outpointed Marty Servo in his last ring appearance on May 28.
 Matchmaker Nat Rogers has lined up an attractive semi-final for Fridays program, bringing to- gether two of the best young light weights in the country. They are Maxie Shapiro, East Side, and Chester Rico, Bronx, who are pair ed in an eight-rounder.
 Three Six-rounders are listed be- tween Billy Murray, Bellaire, Ohio, welterweight, and Jerry Moore, Harlem; Freddie Pope, bantam weight from Columbus, Ohio, and Chico Morales, Cuba: Jimmy Edgar, Detroit welter. and Jerry Fiorello, Brooklyn. Warren Dean, Richmond, Va, featherweight, and Gus Le- vine, Harlem, met in four.
 Tickets for Fridays show are priced at $1.15 general admission; $2.5o, $350, $4.oO, $45o,and $5.75 for reserved seats.

COPS HAVE NO
 GAS so CAME TONITE IS OFF
New Workers Unable to Come Here; Cubans May
 Appear Next Week

The "jinx" which has persisted in following Fred Davi, Naugatuck baseball promoter and manager ot the Waterbury Brasscos, camped once again on the borough lads trail yesterday resulting in forced postponement of the appearance of the crack New York Police team here tonight. Twenty-four hours be- fore, in a telephone call direct to Sergeant Thomas Whalen, manager of the Gotham Cops, the latter had agreed to come here for game un- der lights tonight. He had assured Davi that if he could use the team tonight that publicity would be in the mail early yesterday morning.
 However, it was not the mailman but the telegraph boy, who knocked on promoter Davis door early yes- terday morning and handed him the wire which read: "Game Sat- urday Off. No Gas. New York Police Dept. Sergt, Whalen, Man. ager." There was nothing, oi course, for Davi to do but to stop the reams of publicity which had begun to pour out of his press de- partment for the papers and radio stations throughout this section oi the state and begin plans anew for the next appearance of the Brass COS who made such an impressive debut here a week ago last night against the Black Yankees.
 Two Games Next Week
 When reached by phone early this morning, Promoter Davi stated that it was too late for him to make a replacement for the Cops for game tonight but that he had plans in the works for two night games here next week, possi- bly, Wednesday and Saturday. Davi added that he was endeavoring to book the Baltimore Elite Giants and the Cuban All Stars. If arrange ments could be made he would bring those two clubs here within the next week.
 In commenting on his own club the Brasscos, MT. DaN announced that the weak spots which had cropped out on opening night had been attended to and that several outstanding players would be in the lineup in the next game to give the Brasscos added power both on of- fense and defense.
 League Passes Up Two TopnOtchehs
 The New York Cuban Stars, whom Davi is angling for as an attraction for next Saturday night at the Sta dium, will meet Satchel Paige and his Kansas City Monarchs at the Yankee Stadium Sunday, August End. It is reported that Paige will receive $2,000 as his share of the receipts. The City Amateur league has now passed up opportunities to book both the Monarchs with Paige, and the crack Baltimore Elite Giants. The former attraction called for 5000 guarantee with a privilege. League officials decided it was too much of a risk.

SPUD CHANDLER
 ON WAY TO NEW
 YANKEE RECORD
Georgia U. Grad Appears Best Bet as l942 20.
 Game Winner
By PAUL sCHEFFELs

(Um1ted Press Stan C0rreSpOndent)
 New York, July 25.-CUP)-The New York Yankees victory in the 1942 American league pennant race may be taken for granted by most of the baseball conscious public but what may not be generally recogniz- ed is the fact that Spud Chandler is on his way to the best record for 8 Yankee pitcher in three years.
 Not since 1889 have the Yankees boasted a 20-game winner. Red Ruf1ng was the last when he won 21 and lost seven in his fourth straight 20-victory year. Lefty Gomez last brilliant season was in 1887 when he won 21.
 Gomez and Ruff1ng were the high winners last season, each with IS, and Red was the teams high man Tn 1940, again with 15 successes. It looked as if Ernie Bonham might annex the Yankee pitching honors this year but Chandler has climbed to the top spot and appears to be the best bet for a 2O-game winner
 Chandler,s best year as a Yankee was in 1888 when he won IA and lost five. He has won Il and lost only two this season and should go well past that mark.
 The chunky graduate of the Uni- versity of Georgia hcalked up his 11th victory yesterday, pitching four-hit, 80 decision over the Tigers. Chandler, who was never in trouble, faced only B batters and allowed the Tigers not more than one hit in any inning. The Tanks put the game on ice in the seventh when they tailed twice on Pinky Higgins error, a walk, Joe oGrdons single and Rollie Hemsley's fly.
 Laabs Homers The Red Sox divided twilight doubleheader with the Browns Homers by Johnny Pesky and Petey Fox sparked the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory in the first game. Chet Laabs belted his 18th homer with one on in the 11th giving the finale. Johnny Niggeling held Bos- ton to five hits for his ninth win. Cleveland clipped Washington twice, 4-3 and 5-4 (12 innings) The Indians kayoed Early Wynn with three-run burst in the sec- ond inning of the opener. Jim Bagby won his 11th victory for the Indians. Walter Masterson was nicked for only seven hits in 12 in- nings in the second game but lost. Mel Harder and Harry Eisenstat allowed 13 hits.
 Two unearned runs gave the White Sox 2-1 win over the Ath- let,cs. Errors by Bill Knickerbocker and Bob Swift admitted the scores | that gave Jake Wade the win over Dick Fowler, each allowing seven hits.
 Young Hero
 I The Giants increased their third place margin over the Reds to l 1-2 games by defeating Cincinnati, 3-2, on Babe Young's 11th-inn.ng homer. It was his second game-winning homer in as many days.
 Southpaw Max Lanier blanked the Boston Braves with six hits and the Cards laid down barrage of 16 blows for an so triumph. It was Boston's third shutout in six contests. Lanier dueled with Jim Tobin for the first seven frames but the Red Birds punched four singles and a double in the eighth for four runs.
 Brooklyn belted Ken Heintzelman for all its runs in four innings and whipped the Pirates, 6-4. Whit Wyatt went the route for his 11th victory. Three hits wrapped around two errors scored three Brooklyn runs in the fourth, deciding the game.
