Benefit GAMES
Will PASS GOAL

NEW YORK, July 2. (UP)-The
all-Star baseball games at New York
and Cleveland next week and com
pletion of a series of benefit games
by both circuits will send the ma
ior leagues war relief drive past
its goal of $800,000, National League
President Ford Frick said today.
The majors already have reached
the halfway mark, Frick said, and
the balance should easily be attain
ed by the remainder of the program,
This $500, 600 total does not include
an expected share of the world
series money, which may send the
fund close to $1,000,000. Frick said
plans for the series were still "un-
der consideration
Four funds share in the baseball
drive: the Army and Navy relief
societies, the USO and the games
own bat and ball fund for sending
equipment to camps. The Army
and Navy societies receive approx
mately $6OO0OO with the ball and
bat fund realizing about $l30,00O
and the USO about 100000.
More than $300,000 has already
been earned by both leagues in
benefit games for Army and Navy
relief alone" FriCk said, ''and these
two will receive an additional $780,
600 from the all-star games. The
USO received $4,000 from the 1941
all-star game"

TED WILLIAMS
SITS ON BENCH

BOSTON. July 2. CUP)-Outfield-
er Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox was benched after the
fifth inning of yesterdays second
game with Washington for lethar-
gic Play. Manager Joe Cronin sent
Pete Fox to left field for the re-
mainder Of the game.
Williams was hooted by the crowd
when he made only half-hearted
attempt to bat in the third and
again when he only logged TO sec
ond after hitting a double in the
fifth.
The 24-year-old flychaser, who
hit over 400 last year, has enlisted
in the Naval air corps but probably
won't be called until near the end
of the season. He is hitting about
335 and leads both leagues in hom-

THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

does not want them.
Pastor will fight only Louis. He
says he will stay right up at his
farm in Saratoga Springs and
play golf every day until we learn
whether Louis will be permitted to
fight again, when he will fight and
who he will fight. So for the past
43 days he has just said no and
played golf. And I've turned down
100000 worth of gilt-edged busi-
ness
MANY OFFERS
This display of sheer modesty
over, Johnston showed me some of
his offers-eVen pleas-for Pas
tors services. Pittsburgh will pay
him $25,000 to fight Harry Bobo.
Cleveland will pay him as much
for the same bout Toledo, Los
Angeles and San Francisco each
guarantees $4,000 and offers Lee
Savold, Turkey Thompson and Pat
Valentino. Every city offers some
thing.
But old Bob just keeps trying
for brides and waiting for Mr.. Joe
'.He is a one-man bottleneck, 4"
the professor said Indignantly He
is taking bread out of his chill
drens' mouths-and out of mine,
too, incidentally. He is the most
popular fighter at liberty. Even a
great manager like myself can't
do anything if a fighter won fight
Maybe / should start promoting
golf tournament, if that's what he
wants"
Pastor has proven as stubborn
as an encyclopedia sales man. He
won't come to New York He plays
with his children and shoots golf.
The golf has a tWo-fold purpose.
IT affords Pastor relaxation and it
keeps him in condition. He has said
dozen times he will whip Louis
because his legs are so strong. And
he attributes these legs TO golf
"That's gratitude for you,' john
ston said. Il make him wealthy
enough that he can pick his spots.
That's honesty, too. Why if the
other managers hear about this
they'll all say, See, Sucker. that's
what you get for being honest.
Here I go giving him a good count
instead of paying him off in the
dark and what do I get. Golfl'
At this point the telephone rang
so I walked into the outer office
while the professor talked. His con-
versation began amiably enough
but soon it began swelling in vol
ume until it sounded like this: :
(Crescendo) $50 '56?$ another
crescendo) 47&?-)$lw It seemed
Pastor was on the phone. He had
called to say he hos shot a 73.

Is Carl Jackson as good as Joe
Hurst when it comes to the fine and
fancy art of pitching softball?
Well. now that's really a stickler
for the two lads have never match
ed pitches in a game, for Hurst, the
fox of the A leaguers ln years gone
by. is now residing in San Diego
while Jackson has only started ms
playing here this year.
Hurst's fame is widespread. He
has won more all-star games than
YOU can shake Il stick at and IL
was rare indeed that he was on
the losing side of any game while
i'm the valley.
Jackson is practically unheard OF,
vet his record for this season in
league play and star games speaks
for itself. He has lost but one game
(and his chucking wasn't entirely
to blame for that) in the seven he
has played. For his City OF FL Cen
tro b leaguers he has turned in
four wins against the single black
mark. He has won both OF the all
star games, pitching a siX-hitter
against Yuma and a four-hitter
against MeXicali.
Against the Telephone company
in a regular league game he scored
a 900, One-bit victory for the
most notable of his performances.
However, there is only one way
in which the issue can be settled
a game in which the two boys will
work against each other. And such
a game is in the making. ON July
10, Hurst will bring down band
of players in an attempt to work
over the local team.
So save that date on your calen-

4-HIT PITCHING

FL Centro'S all-StarS continued
their preparations to meet the San
Diego stars next week when they
polished off a MeXicali team, 1l-3,
on the Imperial high school field
Wednesday night
Carl Wandering" jackson turned
in another masterful found per-
formance as he held the Mexican
boys to four hits in the seven
frames. In the first inning he had
a little trouble as the south of the
border team scored three runs on a
walk, an error, a double and a
single. They made two more hits
in the second but after that their
efforts went to no avail.
The walk in the first inning was
the only free trip that jackson
gave up. 1t was the second game

NEW YORK, July 2 CUP - 1t
hardly seems possible, but Prof.
James Joy Johnston, Sr, the bab-
bliHg brook of upper Broadway,
discovered a brand new outlet for
his wrath today. Opening his 21-
jewel precision movement jaws to a
so degree angle, the professor de-
livered long and impaSsioned at
tack against the innocent pasttime
of golf.
1t seems golf is costing him a
third of $4,651.60 day-eVery day.
The sum is startling. 1t is par
ticularly startling coming from
Prof. Johnston, whose working
knowledge of golf is so limited that
he is mystified because hooks are
held in such disrepute. But know
golf or not. the professor still can
hate it. And since his capacity for
hate isn't limited, he is hating
S4,65l.16 worth daily.
That is how much golf is cost
ing my boy Bob Pastor and me
every day." he scramed while br-
ISLANDERS ducked, believing an air
raid had arrived. Il have all the
figures right here on my desk You
check them over and you'll find
I'm right. My boy Bob Pastor has
spent 100000 for golf in 43 days:
yes sir, $1,000 in golf in 43 days.
CORRECT FIGURES
Calming the professor with a
couple of stiff jiggers of 20-year-old
ether and telling the men with the
strait jacket that their services
weren't needed I did look at the
figures. They were correct TO the
penny However, the foundation on
which they had been built was
shaker than a collapsible canoe
in a typhoon. Pastor actually had
not spent 100000 at all.
He had turned down 5000 00O
worth of fights in the last 43 days
and continued to play golf. AL
though his reasoning Is bit
cloudy, his argument is clear
enough. He claims that he is the
logical contender for the world
heavyweight title and that he will
fight nobody until he can sign for
third bout with Corp. Joe Louis
Barrow of the cavalry.
Here I am, the greatest man
ager in boxing and probably the
greatest one in boxing history" the
professor shouted, lowering his
voice again when ! began brand
ishing the ether bottle. Il work
myself to the marrow, use all my
influence and employ all ny
brains to get fights. I get the fights,
and does Pastor want them? He

tionS.
HOgue has not done so well late
ly and will attempt TO regain some
of the prestige lost in his last
fights. lie will go into the ring
at 100, five pounds better than
his opponent.
LoZada's chief claim to fame is
a Knockout over Earl Turner, San

Baseball's newest iron-man is Ray
Starr, who at 35 is considered still
a rookie. Starr won his first 10
games in II starts for the Cincin-
natl Reds this year.
For 1G years the tall Oklahoman
has been making the rounds OF
minor league clubs, never quite
fitting in. He tried out on three
National league clubs before finally
coming to a stop on the Reds ros-
ter.
They say that he has nothing
on the ball, that he only throws
them and prays. Yet his four shut
outs i'm IL games this season dis
counts this.
It was in the minors that Starr
picked up his iron man handle, FOR
he delight in pitching double-head-
ers and winning both ends of them.
In 1899 he pitched and won two
games in single afternoon to put
his Fort Worth team into a play

NEW YORK, July 2 (UP) -
Psychology has a definite place in
winning baseball and perhaps lack
of a deep-rooted urge to win is the
trouble with the New York Yam
KEGS. From purely analytical
standpoint, however, with emphasis
on mechanical abilities or weak
nesses, the Boston Red SoX today
look like the team that deserves
to win the American League pen
nant.
Yawkey pigeon-holed his check
book a couple of seasons ago and
decided to let trading and minor
league farms take care of the SoX'
flag chances. Apparently that was
the correct formula. His club now
has won seven of their last eight
and 20 of "a and trail the Yankees
by only three games.
FOUR OVER 300
The Red Sox are playing like
champions. OF the eight regulars
excluding the pitchers, four are
hitting above 300. Bobby Doerr has

Pesky 1921 and Dom DiMaggio .3Ol
The Yankees have only Joe Cor
don performing like a champion.
He not only sparkles afield, but
is hitting about 1865, The rest of
the Bronx clubs attack has dWindl-
ed to amost nothing with most of
the batsmen hitting well under

OFFERS ADVICE ON
SAVING OF TIRES

With new automobile tires
shut off from the general pub
lie, the Northwest divisional Of
fees of the Office of Production
Management came to bat with
some timely suggestions.
These tips are based on the
theory that the best solution of
the public'S automobile prob
lens rests in being as saving of
tires now in use as possible. In
aSmuch as the present supply of
raw rubber from the Neither
lands East Indies is curtailed by
war with Japan, the government
defense agencies have clamped
down on tires as a major means
of saving the present suppyl.
This is the first direct and dras-
tic effect of the war upon the
civilian population.
The suggestions about how to
save on tires follow:
Cut out high speeds - Your
tires will last twice as long at
40 miles an hour as at 60.
