 New York, June 20-(UP)-Wrap- ping up few loose threads:
 Baseball-Members of the Major League Social Security club, whict boasts such grand-daddieS as Pau Waner, 39; Charlie Gehringer, S9 Ted Lyons, 41; John Cooney, 41 and Ray Starr, 36 but just rookie; are hereby given notice to move over and make room for Floyd Caves Babe q musta lost it in the sun) Herman. Now 39, the Babe has returned to action with the proverbial bang after a lengthy re- tiremenft. Playing with the Holly wood Stars, he is leading the Pacific Coast league batters with the ex- travagant figure of .382-Some 25 for points above the runner-up. A well, he is back at first base, the position at which he debuted be- fore he became what Is loosely term ed an outflelder. Brooklyn old timers recall the Babe with great waves of nostalgia. Always a hefty batsman--he once hit .393-Hoimar was loved more in Flatbush for his work afield which wes Str'-" of this world. Wonder if Holman still trips over ilnt nary W..-.. barrows.
 Extraordinary
 Boxing Speaking of things which are out of this world, give quick look at the boxing program which will be held in Cleveland Tuesday on a gigantic Bomber for Mac Arthur" show. There will be five 10-round bouts, most of which could stand by themselves as main events. Mel!o Bettina meets Harry Bobo; Joey Maxim will settle a grudge with Jimmy Bivins; Johnny Colan and Anton Christoforidis will en- gage in Q return match; Lem Franklin goes against Sgt. Joe Mus cato and Maxie Shapiro faces Harry Teaney. The Bettina- -Bobo clash Is the significant item from a boxing standpoint, but what consider most refreshing is the statement that "the ring will be set up at home plate and no seat will be far ther removed than first or third base" Shucks, men, anything that close at mike Jacobs production is ringside.
 Horseracing-The $25 900 Dwyer Stakes will be decided at Aqueduct today and shut out looks Ike a shoo-in. X Alsab and Sun Again are temporarily in dry dock with splint troubles; Requested and Apache are ailing and Devil Diver has come down with quarter crack. Shut Out is the only big 'un left in the three-year- -old ranks and if he stays sound he can't lose the divisional crown. His chief opposition today Is the surprising Lochinvar, winner of the $10,000 Kent Handicap in his last start, and Valdina orphan, who was a good third behind Shut Out in the Kentucky Derby and has been sharper than 8 radio comic in his recent starts in New Eng land. Shut Out should take to- days prize with little more than e mild gallop. Furthermore, he should have an easy time of 1t throughout the summer Unless the Orphan or Lochinvar displays unexpected speed, there just isn't three-year- old in America fast enough to ex- tend the current champ. Alsab could, of course, but splints aren't cured easily and little Sab may be lost until autumn.
 Track and field-Ever hear the one about the track meet that made a profit even before 1t was run? Well, then, gather around and list- en. It is the National AAU Circus now In progress at RandalI's Island and even if nobody shows up ex- cept officials and participants 1t will net 75,000 or so for the Army Re- lief Fund. Here's how: The pro- gram, which is thicker than Q Sears Roehuck catalogue and is given away free, contains more than $60,- 900 in advertising: 10000 tickets of the 41 variety have been bought. paid for and distributed to service men; and another e2e0o nas been
