PASSEAU RATED
MAJOR LEAGUES
NO. ONE HURLER
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, July %. CUP) =
Claude Passeau's IA victories stamp
ed him as the most effective mounds
man in the major leagues today but
there's psychological angle to the
slim, young right-handed Mississip-
plans success the records do not
reveal.
Baseball outlaWed the splitter
in 1920 but some of PaSSeau's sue
cess-it's difficult to tell just how
much-may be traced to that very
rule. Passeau scarcely pitches a
game without at least one squawk
to the umpires that he's using the
splitter.
He is completely eXonerated every
time and the whole affair has de-
veloped into a psychological battle
on both sides. The hitters trying
to rattle Passeau by such charges,
and Claude attempts to throw their
timing off by making them think
he's throwing something he isn't.
Whatever he's throwing, this Wiry
college graduate-he attended Mill
SapS college in Jackson, MisS.-is
one of the top pitchers in baseball
this year. He bolStered his claim by
a two-hitter yesterday
when the Cubs whipped the Braves,

Shorty Hogue, larger of the bat
ting Jacumba twins, gets another
shot at Bobby Birch, New York Ne
gro who stopped him in the seventh
round of their first fight, Friday
night in the main event at San
Diego's Coliseum.
Birch boasts one of the five wins
scored over Hogue by any fighter
in his professional ring career
Hogue has not lost a rematch.
The reason given by Shorty for
his first defeat at the hands of
Birch was that he was not in good
condition. 1t was a cut over his
eye that caused the referee to stop
the first fight although Hogue had
been floored for a six-count earlier
in the bout.
Shorty's twin, Big Boy, was on
the losing end of a decision to Jack
Chase, Denver, in resumption of
boxing at the Los Angeles Olympic

the team goes to pieces. Ortiz is
now in Los Angeles and will not
return to Imperial Valley until after
August 5, date of his championship
boxing match with Bantamweight
Champion Lou Salica. Before Ortiz
could return his team would be five

number to make up in the six

Jim House is the manager of the
Merchants, a team of Imperial
youths who have been playing town
teams and B league teams in prac-

They will pick up where the ALI
Stars left off, making up the two
games missed. They will be in
fourth place in the standing with
three games won and three games
lost.
At the meeting it was also decided
to revamp the B league all-star set
up, placing Jerry Bennett, Cramer's
manager, in charge of all arrange
mentS for games and making him
responsible for picking the best
possible team to represent the b
league in star games.
COMING GAMES
The all-Stars, as they exist now,
are scheduled to play a team of
other B league members on August

Another game against MeXicali

First Rent Control
Decision Is Awaited

rent control case to come in for liti-
CATION which brought a statement
from Talbot Smith, chief enforcement
agent for the OPA that if the de-
cision favored the plaintiff, a land

the Emergency Court of Appeals.
The case was one of summary
process eviction by Louis Ricciarei
against James Henley.
Government attorneys entered the
case after nuisance charge against
Henley had been barred by Judge
Conway.
The plaintiff charged that rent
control regulations were unconstitu-
tional and that so long as his rent
was not raised, the landlord might
choose any tenant

lew York Federation Seeks Help For 100000 UNEMPLOYED

Thomas ]. Lyons, president
of the New York State Feder-
alton, this week called upon
the delegates to the annual
Federation convention in
Rochester, to live up to the
slogan, Everything We Do
Must Be Ceared to the Win
ming of the War; The con-
vention endorsed the proposal
of the state executive council
that an AFL committee appear
before the resolutions COM
mittees of both the Democratic
and Republican Parties in
their respective New York
state conventions and submit
a number of recommends
tiOns aimed at eliminating
present unemployment espe-
cially in New York City where
100000 are out of work, at
improving cooperation ON the
part of labor i'm the war effort,
and in preventing economic
chaos after the war.
WHY WE'RE FIGHTING
"We are not fighting this war,
sacrificing the lives of thousands
of our soldiers and sailors, and ex-
pending billions of dollars in order
to attain domination or control
over the peoples" Lyons told the
delegates in asking them to rally
1909 behind President Roosevelt.
eve are fighting to maintain our
own freedom and form of govern
ment and to release the conquered
and enslaved peoples"
Among the proposals to be plac-
ed before both major parties are:
i. Wider enlistment of representa-
tives of labor by the State govern
ment to make most effective the
States contribution to the war eff
fort. 2. Establishment of an ade-
quately empowered committee rep
resenting all classes in the state
including organized labor to secure
and award sufficient work and con-
tracts by the Federal and State
governments to eliminate unem-
pIoyment and afford an opportun-
ity of working and sharing i'm the
war effort. The convention also
opposed wage freezing and insisted
that sterilization of wages should
come through collective bargain
ing and that sterilization could
take place only after profits, food,
rent and other essentials of living
are controlled.
