Grogan Wins By 7. K. 0.
Over Hooks; John
son Takes Tucker

George Eschman, popular ring
man from Cincinnati, opened hi!
Wilmington comeback trials in fine
style last night in Legion Stadium
by scoring a second round knock
out over AL Leanard of Buffalo
New York.
After the opening gong the figh'
was all Eschman's with Al get
ting little time to show any of the
fine style so talked about in 20
cal fight circles prior to last nights
bout. In the opening round Esch'
man and Leonard both fought very
cautiously with neither doing too
much harm to the others features.
However, in second frame it was
an altogether different story as
EscAman used his famous left
hook to the mid-section to down
his opponent.
The semi-feature contest, also
a ten-round affair, saw Johnny
Grogan, 21o FOUNDER, pour on a
little too much for Billy Hooks
and winning the battle in the final
seconds Of the second round via
the TKO route.
At the opening of the first heat
Grogan surged forth and when
the bell ended the session had two
knockdowns scored to his credit.
The final twirl for Hooks came af-
ter he had risen from the canvas
no less than three times in the
second round. After throwing pun
ches from all angles Grogan final
ly landed the punch that placed
Hooks flat on the mats. Hooks Sc
cond tossed in the towel ending
the fight.
Phil Bains, Negro Marine, match
ed with Bill johnson failed to ap-
pear for his bout and Tommy Tuck
er, local shipyard worker was
worked in as a very able substi-
tute. johnson weighed in at 100
and Tucker at 142.
Due to the overweight battlers
the fight was announced as a six
round exhibition.
fuckers lack OF weight proved
to be the deciding factor in the
match which went to johnson,
johnson looked very good after his
professional bouts under big time
promoters in New York and Tuck
ers speed and flashy footwork were
also hlghlights of the exhibition
affair.
Another top-notch program will
be presented in the Legion Stadium
arena next Monday with a new ar
ray of local and service talent, ALI
lighters will be announced at q
later date.

resolution committing this nation
to help form an international Or
ganization strong enough to estab-
fish and maintain lasting peace.
The terse declaration was quail
fled to assure that Congress will
have the right to review any
peace-making arrangement.
Marshall's stand, as developed
during more than three hours of
questioning, is that the Army must
have 100000 men, including 300,-
900 requirements, by January l.
If that means the drafting of faith
ers, then fathers ought to come
in. If young, qualified men can
be obtained elsewhere, he has no
objection.
But Marshall said over and over
again it would be dangerous to
assume that the Arny's strength
could be reduced below the T.

IF our quotas are cut" he said,
'ssome of our planned divisions

that would be dangerous.

The chief of staff conceded that
there had been delays in getting

denied that any troops are "over-

UNCERTAIN STARS
TO MEET ON HILL
in WORLD SERIES
Spud Chandler And Big
Mort Cooper Probable
Starters

NEW YORK. Sept 20.-lREThe
day of great names on the mound
in the World Series is temporarily
past and the St. Louis Cardinals
clash with the New York Yankees
next month will be a struggle be-
tween two uncertain pitching
staffs.
If Spud Chandler faces M r t
Cooper in the opening game, as
expected, both teams will be bank
ing on hurlers who have never
won and never finished ntWo pre-
vious starting chances IN the an
nual classic.
A great deal has been said and
written about the uncertainties OF
Cooper in World Series competi-
ton, He has won 20 and lost this
year. pitched % complete games
and six shutouts, and still there
is question about the propriety
of Manager Bill Southworth lead
ing off with him against the Yanks.
This is because he was knocked
out twice by New York in last
years series and because he also
has failed twice against the Amer
lean league in the midsummer ALL
Star games.
But many of Cooper's critics
have overlooked the fact tn t
Chandler has lost the only two
series tussles he has started.
In l941 against Brooklyn he al
lowed only one hit for four in
nings, but then wore himself out
running the bases, trying to get
from first to third on a single. In
the fifth he issued two walks and
three hits for two runs and in the
sixth was derricked with two on
and none out.
Last year in the third game
against the Cards he allowed only
three hits in eight innings before
being lifted for a pinch batter, but
a walk and one hit was all the
racing Redbirds needed to score
and lefty Ernie White shut out the
Yanks.
This year Chandler has won 10
and lost four, pitched 10 complete
games and five shutouts to estab-
lish himself as the leading hurler
in the American League. Yet he
still must prove himself in the
World Series, just as Cooper must.
Chandler is certain starter in
the first game, Cooper is the logi-
cal choice for the Cardinals. If he
loses the Cards are no worse off
than they were at the same point
last year.
The Cardinals will have on y
eight pitchers available for the Sc
ries compared with an even dozen
for the Yanks, and of the st. Louis
staff, two have sore arms-Whlte
and Harry Cumberland three are
rookies-Alpha Brazle, Harry Bre-
cheen and George Munger.

AGAINST DICKEY
Leading Base Stealer
Matches Wits With Best
OF Backstops
WASHINGTON, Sept. 90 R -

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90 R -
Who wins when the swlftest OIL
base thieves matches wits a n d
ability with the ace of catchers?
The crime doctors probably
won't like this, but the answer is
that the base pilferer-Washing-
tons George Case-comes out on
top. He settled the question, at
least for the time being, in the
opener of the New York-Washing-
ton doubleheader Sunday.
The situation was this: In a set
ting of a standing-room-only throng
the Yankees had Spud Chandler,
team ace and foremost American
League pitcher on the mound, with
the great Bill Dickey, famed for
his deadshot pegs to second, be-
hind the bat.
The game was tight, and the
crowd was tense as Case reached
first base. Everybody expected
Case to steal, and the Yankees
were determined to head him off
Over to first, Chandler whipped
the ball to hold Case close to the
bag. Then Dickey, anticipating
that Case would make a break on
the first pitch, called for pitch
out.
Sure enough, down Case went.
The great Dickey, eager as roo
kie to get that ball, appeared to
90 out and meet it. Dickey had a
clear shot at second but he threw
the ball into the dirt in front OF
Second Baseman Joe Gordon and
Case was safe.
Cases feat gave him tie with
his own personal American League
record of 81 steals, and demon
strated that he can reach his des-
tination even when it's three-on-
one: Dickey; Chandler, leagues
leading pitcher, and Gordon, tops
among the second-sackers.
The Senators, with Case keeping
Yankee pitchers on edge all after
noon, went on to win the twin bill,
3 to 2, in 10 innings, and 5 to l.
