PITTSBURGH, Aug. 9 (UP)-
Aged Fritzie ZiNic, who at 80
is seven years older than his
opponent. ruled a 2-l pre-fght
favorite over Young Kid Mccoy of
Detroit for their 10-round return
bout at Forbes Field tonight.
The odds favoring the former
welterweight champion were based
on his two recent performances
against Jake LaMotta of New
York. In the first fight LaMotta
won a close decision, but Zivic
bounced back in the second con-
test 10 take a 15-round decision.

Sports Compulsory

Whereas at the start Of war
the Britons abandoned most
sports, they're compulsory now
TO help morale over there,
according 10 Corcoran.
"They are strong for soccer,
OF course" Corcoran said. "The
Americans are playing n lot of
softbslI. The British are begin
ming to show a lively interest in
baseball.
"But they don't get a kick
out OF the same plays as Amer
iczns. For instance, home run
doesn't mean much 10 them.
But they cheer loudly q close
play at first base. That, of
course, seems strange TO dyed
in-the-wool American ball
fans"
Corcoran IS a great sports
fan generally, baseball being his
favorite next 10 golf. He goes
strong for hockey, too. That's
the Boston influence, no doubt.
While he wishes no harm 10
the Braves, he whispers that he
is really a Red SoX fan.

Conducted a Poll

On the tour, Corcoran con-
Quoted a poll among Americans
TO determine their favorite
sports characters.
"Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth ran
neck and neck in the baseball
poll" Corcoran said. 'In hockey
the favorIte was Eddie Shore" ;"
At this juncture Corcoran
Queried the writer:
"Bet you couldn't guess who
was their football choice"
Our guess was Red Grange.
We were wrong.
..It WAS Bronko NagurSki,o
Corcoran declared.
Nagurski, as sports fans gen.
orally know, starred on the
gridiron as a fullback with the
Chicago Bears after being
graduated from the University
of Minnesota.
"You didn't do as well as

Tigers Tie for Sd
BY EDGAR HAYES

Rudolph Preston York may
realize his ambition 10 lead the
major leagues in home runs this
season. AS of today he's top man
in both circuits with 1S. one more
than Charlie Keller of the YAM
KEGS.
The big Indian from Georgia
came up with rush yesterday,
betting three homers into the
stands during the Tigers double
win over the Chicago White Sox,
81 and 80.
The twin victories lifted the
Tigers TO tie for third place
with the Chisox. They are three
games back of the second place
Senators, who open a four-game
series here Wednesday evening.
Rudy'S total of Is for SO games
is the same total he had during
the month of August in 1887 when
he beat Babe Ruths best month.
His three circuit drives in the
double-header drove in five runs.
TRUCKS TENTH
Virgil Trucks won his tenth
game Of the season in the opener
when ne outpitc h e d veteran
Thornton Lee. Trucks allowed
only six hits.
Both of the runs scored by the
White SoX were driven in by
Skeeter Webb, the second base
man, each on a hit 10 Joe Hoover,
too deep to make a play at first.
The first Tiger run in the
opener came in the second inning,
York hit Lees first pitch against
the base of the upper deck in left
field. Two more runs were added
in the sixth on singles by York
and Ross with a walk TO Higgins
sandwiched In and an infield out
by Bloodworth.
The eighth inning was fat one
for the Tigers. With Metro re-
tired, Hoover tripled 10 deep
center and scored when Wakefield
singled. York then hit the first
pitch again, high into upper left
field stands.
BLOODWORTH HOMERS
Higgins flied, but Ross singled
and Bloodworth found the range
into the lower left field stands.
The second game was another
personal triumph for Tommy
Bridges. His last appearance be-
fore the home crowd he turned in
a grand three hitter. Yesterday
he allowed four hits TO win No.
8 for the season. He walked only
two and had the situation under
control throughout.
The Tigers got one in the first |
and that would have been enough |
with the brand of ball the veteran

double, moved along on a sacrifice

 Attendants of the Cheyenne Mountain zoo found Sitka rag ing over Alaska Lou, who had been eviscerated. They used a fire hose to drive the big bear away so they could remove the body.
