LOS ANGELES. Aug. l tUP) -
Prospects of gasoline rationing IN
California are more distant now
than they were a few months ago,
DurWard Howes, assistant state di-
rector for the office of price ad-
ministration in southern California,
said today.
He said that reports California
would have gasoline rationing by
next fall were totally without
foundation.
mo one here has been advised
what Washington's plans are on
gasoline rationing," HoweS SAID,
but all indications are that it Is

SEATTLE COPS
7 FROM ANGELS
By UNITED PRESS

Seattle's Rainiers whipped the
league leading Los Angeles Angels
in two Pei games Friday night, 10
in a seven-inning opener and 5-4
in the second game.
Jess Flores, Los Angeles, pitched
two hitter in the opener but lost
by the margin of an unearned run.
1t was a pitchers contest all the
way, with Larry Quay giving only
five hits for the RainierS.
A two-run rally in the ninth in
ming clinched the second game for
the Rainiers.
The Sacramento Senators won
twice from the San Francisco Seals,
7-6 in the l0-inning opener and
81 in the seven-innig second game
thereby gaining two full games to
come within 212 games of the An
gels.
Oakland won twice from Portland,
6-2 in the short opener and GA in
the nightcap.
Emil Mailho, pinch hitter for Oak
land, singled off Wayne Osborne in
the second with the bases loaded
scoring tWotWo men.
In the nightcap the Oaks clinched
the game with four runs in the
eighth.

NEW YORK, Aug. l - UP) -
Life should be mighty sweet today
for Ray Sugar Robinson, uncroWn-
ed king of the welterweights, who
again defeated lightweight cham
pion Sammy Angott last night
but it isn't.
1t seems that Freddie Cochrane
of the Navy, official welterweight
champion, insists that Robinson eat
and drink so much that he will go
into the ring like a brewery horse,
before Cochrane will meet him even
in a non-title tilt
Young Robinson, slender Harlem
Negro, took the unanimous decision
over Angott, the windmill from
Washington, Pa, before l2,O73 fans
by a far wider margin than he turn
ed the trick just a year ago at
Philadelphia. Only Angott's amaz-
ing gameness and ruggedness en-
abled him to last the distance.
However, it must be said for Slam
min Sammy that he provided grand
opposition in the first five rounds,
Imperial Valley press., 1942-08-02

our nomination for one of the
best chuckers in the B softball
league play goes to Ben Shaw, Post
Press slow ball artist.
Now the fact that Ben pitches for
the paper doesn't (shouldnt0 pre-
judice us a bit as we are basing
our decision on merit alone. 1t is
rare that an opposing team gets
more than four or five hits off
Shaw, for his curve and change of
pace mystifies batters and causes
them to throw down their bats and
stamp off in disgust.
The fact that Ben doesn't win
every game he pitches can be main
" attributed to his lack of support
in the field, sad to say. Friday
nights game against the Imperial
Merchants was a good example OF
that. Shaw gave up four hits and
famed seven batters, yet the Mer-
chants were able to win by four
run margin. Bad throws, dropped
balls and every other type Of muff
possible have robbed him time and
time again.
The Merchants deserved about
three of their runs, no more. At

1-B Registrants
In New Draft Call

WASHINGTON, Aug. l CUP) -
National selective service head
quarters today included in the Au-
gust draft call an undisclosed quota
of lB registrants-me with minor
physical defects - probably laying
the groundwork for widespread
use of such draftees to replace
physically-fit men for active duty
Although this is the first nation
wide call for LBS, the Army has
inducted many of them in small
scale experiments and found them
useful in light manual and clerical
tasks. Official estimated that
about 1,OOO,OOO men of military age
soon will be classified as 1-B, pro-
Yiding a huge reservoir for limited

NEW YORK, Aug. CUP) - For
years Deacon Bill McKechnie,
sharp-featured but benign man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds, has
been regarded in many quarters as
the master psychologist of the ma
jor leagues because of his effec-
tiyeness III obtaining peak perform
ance from the men in his charge.
In this connection, another plume
can be added to his psychological
bonnet because of the grand job
he did this season with one Bert
Haas. who, at the end of the cur
rent campaign may be hailed as
the outstanding third baSeman in
the National League
McKechnieis career is studded
with seemingl. miraculous successes
in bringing out latent talent in
individuals who appeared TO lack
major league abilities. He was
equally effective in rehabilitating
time cast-offs or providing
over-awed rockies with the spark
of confidence that made them
click.
GAMBLED FUTURE
On many of these men Deacon
Bill gambled not only his repu-
tation as an analyst. but also his
future as a manager And 10 GER

his handling Of Bert Haas.

Haas did well with Columbus, lead
ing the American association III
runs batted in and in total bases
NOT SO GOOD
But 25-year-old Haas was lous-ay
with the Reds during the early
stages of the current campaign
He was virtually a total loss at bat
and afield, which is a very bad
combination for any player at any
post His glaring deficiencies made
sponsor McKechnie look like a
prospector who had brought in
sack of fools gold" instead of the
genuine pay dirt
Never had McKechnie been as
sailed with such a fulsome chorus
Of criticism against one of his Sc
lectees. Even his closest friends ad-
vised Bill TO ship Hass back to
the minors. It wasn't mere stub
bornness that made McKechnie
hold out, it was his confidence in
i1Io OHli JhNEiilpilb' llI nit" IldeIo
had it, and he knew Haas wasn't
clicking because he was trying too
hard to make good.
TAKE III EASY
Hence it was that McKechnie
kept telling Haas, Take it easy
out there, boy. Don't charge in on
the ball. Let it come TO you This
is just a game Enjoy it. Play it
naturally-you1l be with US all sea
son-so take it easy"
MsKechnie cooled Haas off, mo-
thering him until he stopped press
ing. Most managers would have
given up under the criticism and
the apparent premanence of the
tiITd sackers plight. But Deacon

Only two hits in the game were

The win places the Merchants

But apparently the Browns hot
pace which has sent them to fourth
place within striking distance OF
the runner-up spot has caught the
fancy of ST. Louis fans because with
two months of the season yet to
go, Sewell's squad is ahead of the
total attendance for last year
Last seasons attendance did not
go over 10000, and SO far, includ-
ing last nights games, an unofficial
estimate puts the 1912 figure a shade
ahead of the Al figure.
The reaWakening fan interest is
not too hard to understand, either,
after the way the Browns won the
first game yesterday. Trailing, 7-2
going into the sixth, the Browns
launched a siX-run attack against
Hank BoroWy and Johnny Murphy

against the YankS this year. Mike

hit the YankS, l7-l6.
