Green Bay Packers, Chicago
 Bears Pace Pro League

I sing B yards to end Don Looney for another touchdown in the final period.
 Bud Schwenk intercepted a pass after the Rams returned punt to the Cards 34 yard line in the first period, and then hurled one himself to Steve Lach, ex-Duke star, to reach the Cleveland nine. Lach then made enchanted catch of another Schwenk pass in the end zone.
 Speed and Power
 The Bears scored almost at will after a slow start to trim the Red skins. Trailing, 7-14, at the close of the first quarter, the Bears turned on the power to gain 21-14 ad- vantage at the half and then picked up IT more points. The un- even battle was featured by little Charlie O'Rourke's 100-yard run for a Bear touchdown after inter- cepting pass by the Redskins Sammy Baugh.
 The accurate passing of Cecil Isbell and Tony Canadeo nullified 95-yard touchdown return of a kickoff by John E.imbrough as the Packers topped the Army Stars The Packers poured four touch downs through a breach in the Army's air defense and added another 10 points with touch- down on an intercepted Army pass and a field goal.

a brief, and not too successful. wlnirl at second.
 As a youth, he delivered news papers in Reading. His only other job outside of baseball, was in a paint factory in 1886. The company wanted him to play softball, and he performed five nights a week. Sat- urdays and Sundays he turned to hardball.
 "The games are not compatible, 1" he stresses.
 Whitey was signed by the Cardi- nals in 1887, shipped to Caruthers- vile, Mo, of the North East Arkan- sas League, now defunct. Pete Reis- CT of Brooklyn, then a St. Louis chattel, played with Newport of the same league.
 Kurowski bagged the batting championship for 100 games, was promoted to Portsmouth, O., of the Mid-Atlantic in 1898 and led the leagues hitters by 20 points with a whopping .386. He was first in total hits and runs.
 KUROWSKI GETS CHANCE, BROWN GOES TO SECOND
 Kurowski played six weeks with Columbus of the American Associa- tion in 1889 and was shipped to Rochester. He stayed there until the Cards brought him up for the last two weeks of the Al season.
 He stepped into the regular line up in June when Creepy Crespis poor hitting and fielding flaws caused Jimmy Brown to be shifted from third to second base.
 The proud father of two-months old boy, Kurowski originally was classified 1-B in the draft because of his arm. He is awaiting reclassi- f1cation. Two brothers are in the armed forces.
 Kurowski gaw his first big league game when he was brought up last fall, went to his first major league training camp last spring.
 It didn't take Whitey Kurowski long to catch on.

WHLRLY vS. ALSAB
 NEXT SATURDAY

Pawtucket, R. l., Sept. IA. (UP)- Georgie Woolf, the 33-year-old Can- adian who rode fabulous Whirlaway to victory in the $25,000 Narragan- sett special Saturday, will pilot him against Alsab in the $25, 900 Dream Match" here this Saturday.
 Woolf, who has scored five wins in six starts with Whirlaway, prob ably will battle it out with Allie Robertson in Alsab'S saddle.
 The two best-known horses on the American. turf will match strides over a mile and three-sixteenths course, and victory for Whirly would rocket his earnings well over the $500 900 mark.
 Whirly, greatest money earner of all-tirne, boosted his total to $40i, ,i36 by winning the special from T. H. Heard's Boysy and five other con- tenders after Alsab had been scratched by owner Al Sabath be- cause he was not in shape to run following his l.000-nile train trip from Chicago.

 Victory in the nightcap of their doubleheader with the Phils, 3-2 gave the Cards first place as the Dodgers dropped twin-bilI to the Reds, 6-3 and Al. The Phils shaded the Cards, 2-1, in the first game. Threw It Away

ALABAMA AGAIN
 | THREAT TO BAG. TAT YOUNGSTOWN
SmulIen's Smart Pitching
 Keeps Waterbury in Na- tiOnal Tourney
(SpeciaI to The Democratl

Youngstown, Sept. 14-Once again, baseball team from Birmingham, Alabama, stands between the Brooklyn A. c. and its chance for the national amateur championship, as the Waterbury, Connecticut, club got four-hit pitching from Notre Danes sophomore Hal Smullen, kepeing the BAG in the national tourney after losing its first game Saturday to the Atlanta, Georgia, Lawson General hospital club, II to ?. Smullen's fine pitching, plus the hitting of Buggy McGrath, Mike Haiday and Kilmer brought the BroOklyns in safely against the Royan Oak, Michigan, club Sunday by the one-sided score of 12 to 3.
 Monday afternoon at AIS eastern war time, the Brooklyn entry from Connecticut goes up against the Birmingham, Alabama, Coslins, al- ready a loser of one game Satur- day, Nbut 8 winner go Sunday on one-hit pitching by Zach Schusller. The Goslins, opponents of the Wa terbury club Monday, stopped the Birmingham Acipcos, 1941 national champions from making" the tour- nament at Youngstown this season, when it eliminated them in an Ala ban1a playoff series; while the Acipos, last years champs, was the club that eliminated the Brooklyn A. c. in the semi-finals of the na- tiona1 tourney at Youngstown. So it is that it's up to the Brooklyns to beat Birmingham again, if the Connecticut club is to remain in the diamond battles for national anna teur honors of 1942.
 Turn About
 Atlanta, easy winners over Wa terbury, were pasted by almost the same score, 10 to 2, by Fort Wayne, Indiana, that it had won over the BAG Q1 to 9. There are but IT entries in the tourney, Eastern Ail- lines of Florida; and the Washing ton, D. O., teams having withdrawn.
 Nine runs in the third inning of the Brooklyn A. C.-Royal Oak game settled the issue in behalf of the Connecticut Yankees, though the Waterbury pitcher, Smullen, kalwed eight batters, he struck out nine batters and gave but four hits.
 Jay Hit Hard
 In the Saturday game, Brook lyn A. c. was beaten Il to 2. as Atlanta, Georgia, started with a four run first inning and got five more in the fifth to sew it up. Four home runs, one by Bobby Greatorex of the losers, were recorded. Joey Jay, starting pitcher for the Con- necticut entry, was hit hard later giving way to Rowlinson as Atlanta got Is hits, Douhit holding the BAG to eight bingles, four of them by Greatorex and Kilmer.

Makes Up For Lack Of Speed With Accuracy
BY BURTON BENJAMIN YEA Service Stan COrFeSpOnden


 New York, Sept. 14-George John Kurowski, the blond Pole who holds down third base for the St. Louis Cardinals, makes the demanding throws of a major league inflelder with a crooked right arm that is shorter than his left
 As a youngster, Whitey Kurowski fell of fence at his Reading, Pa., home. His wrist was badly cut. Blood poison resulted. Two years later the bone of his forearm be- came infected. Osteomyelitis set in.
 Despite this handicap, Kurowski wings the ball across the diamond with uncanny accuracy. He makes up in marksmanship what he lacks in throwing speed.
 SOFTBALL AND HARDBALL ARE INCOMPATIBLE GAMES
 Quiet, modest 24-year-old Kur- owski, who looks like Minnesota tackle, has been one of the main springs in the Cardinals late pen- nant drive.
 Establishing himself in Roches- ter, where he led the International League in triples and batted .288, Kurowski has continued in the same vein in the National. His batting average hovers around .270, and he belts long ball.
 He had smashed eight homers going into the crucial St. Louis- Brooklyn series. He accounted for three of them against the Dodgers in one series at Sportsman's Park.
 Melvin Doc) Silva, assistant to Gordon Williams, veteran sports editor of the Reading Times, dis covered Kurowski He recommend ed him to Harrison Wickle, a Read ing resident, who plays shortstop and manages Columbus, Ga, Car dinal farm. Johnny Dietrich, who coached Kurowski in high school, also put in an approval.

uTCHFIELD BOY
 AVIATION CADET
John Zureck, Three Lett terman at Syracuse, With
 Army in Mississippi

John w. Zureck, former football, baseball and wrestling star at Syra- cuse University, is among the Con- necticut men now in training as an aviation cadet. He is member of the class of pilots to be gradu- ated from the advanced twin engine Columbus, Mississippi Army Flying School August 5.
 He is the son of John M. Zureck and the late Mrs. Zureck of Tor rington road, Litchfield, and re- ceived his degree from Syracuse in 1940. Zureck was catcher on the baseball team for three years, be- ing captain in his senior year, and later spent a season with the Will Transport Grays. His most vivid college baseball memory is of 8 suc- cessful steal of second base against him in Penn State game. His throw never got beyond the plate, conking the batter who was at tempting to "cover" the steal. The ball bounced twenty feet off the batter's head zureck recounts, but adds: Those Penn State guys are tough-he stayed in the game"
 On the football team he was a guard, starring in the famous game in which Syracuse's Sidat- Singh snatched a 19 to IT victory from Cornell in 1939. He wrestled as a light-heavyweight, played basket ball, and took an active part in col- lege politics, winding up with a berth on the Mems Student Body.

DOVER HANDICAP
 SLATED TOMORROW
LOveday and Blueberry Pie Starters at ROcking=
 ham Park

Salem, N. H., July 24.-The first week of the summer meeting at old Rockingham Park will come to con- clusion tomorrow with what ap- pears, on paper, as a brilliant card of races.
 The $5000- added Raceland Handi- cap will top the program, and John R. Macomber's Red Vulcan will at tempt to duplicate his victory of last year and carry off top honors once again. A year ago, in pleasant upset, he beat the likes of Honey Cloud and Bill Farnsworth to win a race which is named in honor of his owner, and he'll be the senti- mental-if not the wagering-favor- ite to repeat again this year.
 The race was given the same name as MT. Macomber"s Framing ham estate because it was there that New England racing was born and bred, and it is the hope of Lou Smith that the Raceland will grow in stature and importance each year until 1t becomes the most important event of the New England turf sea- son.
 Harris Brown, trainer of cham pion Doublrab and the fieet-footed Doubt Not, definitely will send one or the other from New York for the rave. He Shuddered slightly when he discovered that Doublrab had been assigned 132 pounds by racing secretary John P. Turner, and it is probable that Doubt Not will be despatched here for shot at the purse and the plate, along with his regular rider, Bill Thomp- son.
 Teddy Atkinson, meanwhile, has been signed to ride J. w. l.. Mar tins Abrasion; Georgie Seabo has accepted the mount on Hicomb; and an excellent race is cooking.
 The Dover Handicap, at a mile and ne-sixteenths, will be the sec ondary feature, and Bill Flemming announced today that Loveday, win ner of the $10,000 Hannah Dustin at Suffolk Downs, will be starter Blueberry Pie, a starter in the $50,000 Massachusetts Handicap, also worked brilliantly yesterday, and he too will go to the post in the Dover.
