SPORTS
PARADE
By JACK GUENTHER

NEW YORK, June y (OPb II
you're been wondering how base
balls foremost boy genius is bear
ing up under the strain of manag-
ing a major league club at the ad-
vanced age of "a, you may rest
assured that he is bearing up stout
ly. Lou Boudreau hasn't lost his
hair. his faith in human nature or
his sense of humor. In face, he
claims he hasn't even lost any
sleep.
Well-may be just q little sleep,
Cleveland'S freshman pilot will ad-
NIT on second thought. Once in a
while he may toss about for an
hour or so before he drops off, but
he emphasizes that a fellow is apt
TO do that in any business. when he
is working hard. Otherwise, he is
unchanged. His temples haven't
turned gray and there are no lines
or his face.
There isn't much point to brood
ing about things" Boudreau eX-
planned rather jerkily in the sweaty
confines of the dressing room while
his trainer massaged him so Wig
orously his teeth ratified. I just
make my decisions on the spot and
as quickly as possible. Once they
are made there is no use in second
guessing them. You just have to
let them stand as they are
SHOULD BE NERVOUS
LOUIS calm demeanor affirmed
his words. The Indians had just
lost a heart-rending, Soul-Searing
game to the Yankees, lilo in ex-
ira innings. In dropping this one,
they also dropped an important SER
les. According to the script for Sit
uations Of this variety, Boudreau
should have been as nervous as the
house cat at the Westchester Ken
mel club
Instead, he was as cool as a
mother-in-la kiss
Yes, he agreed, the Yankees are
tough characters But, then. they
always were. No, he didn't think it
was yet time to concede the PEN
nant, because the season had only
passed the one-third mark. Nor
York out. The immediate battle, he
thought, was one for second place
because four teams are grouped
within a dozen percentage points
of each other.
One of those four is Cleveland
As you may remember, when Bou-
dreau was sworn in as chief and
ace medicine man of the. Indians
early last winter, he said his only
goal was the first division. He has
not officially changed that predic-
ton as yet, but he is hoping he
can surpasS it. In the scramble now
taking place, he has chance. Just
q chance.
You might say that we rise anG
fall on our pitching" he explained
as he jumped from the rubbing
table, tip-toed to his locker and
began to dress. During that 13-
game winning streak we had pretty
good pitching. Then, somehow, the
nitching slumped and everything
else seemed to slump with it There
is no explanation, but that is how
it happened

Spots on the sports horizon:


To the delight of Brooklyn fans
those lovable eccentric Dodgers
are securely rolling along in first
place with a comfortable seven
game margin III the National
League.
Yet we can't help thinking that
those fighting red birds, the st.
Louis Cardinals, shouldn't be count
ed out by a long ways. Much of the
hustle and sparkle that the Cards
have shown in winning 10 of their
last l3 games can probably be
attributed to one man.
That of course, is st. LOUIS man
ager, Billy Southworth, who has
been cited by Sporting News as the
best N. L. Club leader of the 1941
season.
In spite of the high win percent
age in the last games played,
SouthWorth doesn't feel happy
about that lead that the Brooks
have built up, and in a way can't
understand it.
You see the gas house gang has
hung up three wins in four games
over the Dodgers.
One of the most crucial series
started Tuesday between the two
teams and the outcome of it may
decide whether the Dodgers are 60
ing to have an easy time OF 1T in
the battle for the pennant or will
have to fight off the Cards. Re-
member We picked st. Louis to win
at the first of the season? Well,
we're not changing cat least not
yeti
Stan Sperry, the soft-spoken sec
ond baseman of the San Diego
Padres, has been going great guns
lately and has now pulled up his
batting average until he is in sec
ond spot in the Coast league stand
ingS behind Los Angeles Johnny
Moore. Sperry is currently hitting
at .349 while Moore is tops with
$3.50.
Sperry tops all San Diego players,
although three others are now over
the 300 mark. Jack Calvey, Mel
Mazzera and Jack Whipple are the
trio. Calvey is at .315, Mazzera at
308 and Whipple at .307. This is
quite difference from the first of
the season when none of the Pa
dres were over the 300 mark and
the club was struggling along in
last place. Now they're fighting it
out for the top spot
Boss Frank Frisch of the Pitts
burgs Pirates was a little discon-
certed at the lack of hitting power
his team displayed during their re-
cent slump when they dropped 10
games straight In fact he was SO
upset that he went around asking
the fans if they could hit, and if

they could he urged them TO come
out and play for the team.
But that seems ended now for
the BUGS have just knocked off four
straight games and the outlook is

up probably depends on how their
supply of Imperial Valley carrots
holds out.

The Cardinals have beaten Brook
lyn three out of four SO far, SO why
should we give up?' Breadon wires
from st. Louis. I'VE have no inten-
ton of selling Cooper's contract t
anyone"
Because no love is lost between
the Cards and the Dodgers, the fur
may fly during the current series.
The word going around the league
to beat the Dodgers is to out talk
'em, outrough em and outslug 'em.
Any team that shows the least bit
of timidity against the Dodgers
hasn't a chance of beating 'em, but
the cards can hardly be classified
as timid. For they have just as
many hell-for-leather players as
the Dodgers.
The lone game in the National
league yesterday saw the Cincinnati
Reds make it six in row over the
Boston Braves with 81 victory.
Big Paul Derringer had no-hitter
until the ninth when young Buddy
Gremp broke the spell with a sin
gle. Then Tommy I1olmes and Siby
Sisti singled, giving the Braves their
lone run.
The Yanks strengthened their
lead in the American league race
with an thinning lilo conquest
of the Cleveland Indians in the
only American league game. The
Yanks now lead by a 1012 games.

bush favorites.
Boosting four victories in five
games with the Cubs and with a
record of seven triumphS in their
last eight games, the Dodgers moved
into st. Louis today in an enviable
spot. They have won % more games
than they've lost and hold seven
game lead over the Cardinals. Thus
the Dodgers can blow their entire
three-game series here and leave
town with a comfortable four-game
lead.
The Cardinals, from batboy to
president, think they have a chance
to overhaul the Dodgers, even
though all the experts are calling
Brooklyn the best. National league
team in ten years. Rumors that the
Cards already have given up the
pennant chase and plan to sell their
sterling highlander Mort Cooper
to the Giants are heatedly denied
by President Sam BreadOn.
