Parochial School Baseball Race Now Toss Up
This Sporting World
Sam Smith Takes His Cue
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Up country, where they go very strong for beans and brown bread of Sunday morning, there lives a gent tagged Samuel Oliver Smith. Sam is chairman of the Massachu- sets Boxing Commission, which Is as independent as a kid with a sil- yer dollar in a five and ten cent store. say independent, for it is neither FISH nor FOWL, meaning unaffiliated with the National Box ing Association, and quite apart from the on again, of again, New York Commission, which insists a fighter must defend his title within six months, then prevents him from doing fiat least in New York, by naming two contenders to fight for the right to meet the champ, whose deadline is passed in the meantime and then in position to be left high and dry-sort of all dressed up and nowhere to go.'
 However, boxing in Boston has been pretty much second rate for ten years, until a couple of Irishmen, with no flies on them, but gifted with BLAIR NEY and plenty of financial backing, hopped into the box ing business; had to survive some dire threats by well-dress- ed. dark-skinned mobsters who were trying to keep them out of business; but couldn't be- cause guys like Old Sarge Ed die Mack, Jack O'Brien, Col onel Dave Egan and few others don't have to take that sort of stuff in Boston. An Irisher,' whether a hod-carrier, politician or policeman gets none the worst of 1t in Bean- town, and, everything else be- ing equal, maybe that's the way 1t should be.
 So now comes MT. Sam Smith to the front with an announce ment, that, as chairman of the Massachusetts Boxing Commis- sion, he says the state of Mass achusetts will recognize Willie Pep Or Sal Bartolo as champion of the world when their bout is finished at Braves field, the night of June 9th. Whats more, MT. Sam Smith Is notifying New York that he and his buddies are taking such action, which ought to make the N. Y. moguls feel fine, because, were 1t not for them Willie Pep would not HAVE title to defend. So they toss $200,00o bout out the window last Friday by asking Willie and his manager, Large Looie Viscousi to wait until Chalky Wright and Sal Bartolo fights first, the winner to meet Pep, who has already licked both of them. Large Looie, the heavyweight manager of the featherweight champ said NUTS" or the Spanish-Italian equivalent thereof, took $30,oo0 cash from the aforementioned MT. Eddie Mack who was at his elbow for hours, and the title bout that was a cinch for New York to get now goes to Boston.
 Wonder what Uncle Mike Ja- cobs reaction to the matter is?

 New York, May 18-UP)-A Whirl on the sports-go-round:
 Bill McKechnie, chatting in the dressing room after his Reds beat the Giants yesterday, assured lis teners that Cincinnati will be well up in the pennant race shortly. He explained that the team hasn't been supporting his excellent pitchers at bat or afield, where the Reds mis- plays have given the opposition -four outs in too many innings
 When Billy Southworth of the Cardinals starts toward hotel news stand to buy paper, he says, i've got to see what's doing in the big league" He refers to the war, in which his son, Capt. Billy, Jr, of the U. s. Army Air Corps is hustling every day as commander of Fly ing Fortress that operates over Eur ope. Young SouthWorth, ex-Tor- onto outfielder, was the first profess sional ball player to enlist in the U. s. forces for the current war.
 The other day the king and queen of Great Britain attended the first wartime race meeting at AScot's royal course and saw the kings horse, Tipstaff, run last in the Cranbourn Stakes Eddie (Roches- ter) Anderson had the same exper- fence with his Burnt Cork in the Kentucky vehicle.
 Negro Blacksmith
 Bob Montgomery, the Philadelphia Negro who fights Beau Jack for the lightweight championship at New York's Madison Square Garden Fri day night, is a blacksmith's helper in the Sun Shipbuiiding yards at Chester, Pa. Win or lose, Mont gomery must be back at work Mon- day morning and we hope he doesn't wear patent leather shoes on the job.
 Baron Gottfried von Cramm, Ger manys international tennis star, was among Nazi prisoners captured by the Allies in the Tunisian cam paign Which makes us imagine that the NaZis must have used strong inducements" to make a soldier out of von Cramm. He was tossed into a German prison camp in 1888 for anti-Nazi statements made while abroad At the time, the Nazis explained he was incar- cerated on a morals charge"
 Air for Aaron?
 To reduce to the player limit, the Tanks are expected to get rid of Aaron Robinson, rookie catcher. on Friday-when Frank Crosettis sus- pension ends, Crosetti has been under a 3O-day suspension for push ing an umpire in the last world series Robinson is susceptible to the draft, anyway.

COX VS. KRAUSER AT
 ARENA WEDNESDAY

New Haven, May 18-T'heyve put stronger ropes on the ring at the Arena and there's good reason for it. Dynamite Joe Cox, the Kansas City grappler, and Max Krauser of Poland are to meet at the New Ha- ven sports temple on Wednesday night and when they start tossing each other around the customers need some protection. Ordinary ring ropes might give away.
 Cox and Krauser will go to two falls out of three, or with the time limit of an hour. Three other half hour or one fall matches complete the card.

 DODGERS EDGE
 IN CARD SERIES
Pitches, Bats Brooklyn to l=O Victory; PhiIs
 Beat Cubs; Giants Lose
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

(UnlLeu FreSS stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, May -(UP)-The big noise from St. Louis was just a whisper in Brooklyn today as the Buns looked down their ancient noses at the World Champion Card inals, now reposing in third place in the National league, and prepared to do battle for the second straight day in defense of their three -and-a half game lead.
 Durocher's doddering dandies played like nine frisky kids yester- day in putting the skids under the Cardinals by To count that dropped them half game below the second-place Boston Blaves.
 Rub Melton scattered five hits among the Redbirds in winning his first game as a Dodger and extended his heroics to the place by driving in the games only rurn. Howie Pol let, Cardinal southpaw, faced long lire of right-handed hitterS tailored specially for the occasion by Dur ocher and gave up seven hits in los- ing his first game.
 The Cincinnati Reds came out best in the percentage point scram- ble down around the bottom of the first division by giving the New York Giants the 3-1 treatment.
 Up and Down
 When the statisticians had cleared their figures away, the Reds had moved from sixth to fourth, Phila- delphias Phillies were two points away in fifth place-after spending the previous day in seventh-and the Pittsburgh Pirates were in sixth place, two points south of Philadel- phia.
 Ray Starr, Cincinnati right-hand- CT kept pulling the string on the Giants with a maddening slow ball which they bounced around for eight intellectual hits. Starr, nor over, singled TWO runs home in the second with the bags loaded and was followed to the plate by Lonnie Frey, who punched home the Reds final marker.
 Harry Feldman, Ace Adams and Bobby Coombs gave up total of nine hits, which might hvae been trifle more respectable if the Giants hadn't let 13 runners die on base.
 Phils "On Fire"
 The Philadelphia Phillies spotted the Chicago Cubs three runs in the first inling and then came back in the last half of the same inning with a five-run outburst that sent Claude Passeau and Eddie Hany- zewski fleeing Les Fleming, Dick Barrett and Ray Prim also appeared for Chicago and allowed total of 12 hits in company with their pre- deceSSorS.
 The final score: Philadelphia 8, Chicago 4.
 Johnny Podgajny gave up eight hits over the full nine innings for the Phillies and Danny LitWhiler, Philadelphia outfielder, hit his fourth homer of the season in the second inning.
 Pittsburgh and Boston were idle in the National League. All sched- uled games in the American league were postponed.
 YESTERDAYS STAR - Rube Melton, Brooklyn pitcher who gave the Dodgers an important edge in their series with the Cardinals with superb five-hit performance.
