Zivic lmpresses Pittsburgh Fans
By JOHN DELANEY

Limited Press Stan COrrcSpoHuch'J
 Pittsburgh, Aug. 10 - U.Po - Ring-wise Fritzi zivic ranked today as an even-money bet for his forth coming bout with Lightweight Champion Bob Montgomery after demonstrating conclusively that despite his age and I'll bouts he still realms the savage punching ability that made him the most famous of the five fighting pro- thers. The former welterweight cham pion. now 30 and well past the age when most fighters have left the ring. smashed his way to lop- sided technical kayo of Young Kid Mccoy in the fourth round Of scheduled round bout at Forbes Field last night.
 On The Ropes zivic, who meets Montgomery at Philadelphia, August 23, displayed all the rapid retieXes of youngster as he slung Mccoy over the ropes with a blistering furry of lefts and rights to end the contest after two minutes and 12 seconds of the fourth. A few minutes earlier, he had belted Mccoy, originally from Detroit and now a sergeant in the Air Corps at Mitchell Field, N. Yo almost out of the ring.
 Fritzie put Mccoy on the road out with a right cross to the jaw that was followed by steaming left. The right sent Mccoy reeling and the left hurled him halfway onto the apron of the ring. Down And Out
 The soldier, who had held his vet eran opponent to draw in their last meeting two years ago at Madison Square Garden, pulled himself to his feet at the count of nine but ran into hurricane of leather that sent him, face down. ward, over the lower rope, Again, he staggered to his feet but Re- fierce Buck McTiernan halted the bout.
 At l53 pounds, Mccoy was hardly match for Zivic, who coasted through a slow first round with an edge. Both fighters began to in- crease the pace in the next session and Ziyic, who scaled l49 l-2. be- gan to operate in earnest on Mccoy in the third.

WORKED WONDES WITH LINDELL
 AND NICK FIFTEEN
By PAUL SCHEFFELS

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Aug. 10-(UP)-Eulog- ies have been fashioned about count less members of the New York Yan- kees' playing personnel, but for some strange reason Manager Joe McCarthy-the one man responsible for the greatest portion of the in for his deserved recognition.
 The Yankees open their last west ern invasion at St. Louis today with the 1943 American league pennant practically sewed up. They hold nine game margin over the runner-up Washington Senators ana an 11-game edge over Chicago and Detroit, the other first-division teams, and the New Workers are strictly an outfit hand tailored by the bench.
 Any time-and it's been often that the cry of break up the Yan- kees" has been raised, it's been directed against the Yankees ap- parent monopoly of all the games greatest players - with no thought given to the keen managerial mind of Mccarthy.
 War, with it's drain of players for the armed services, leveled the Yan- kees off to a par with the rest of the cihcuit. The men CcCarthy lost to the services - Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Heinrich, Phil Rizzuto and Charlie Ruffing-would have made flag winner of any club.
 True, the American league is no longer loaded with such sluggers as Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg and Johnny Pesky, and the keen competitive edge has gone ot leave a generally lower an-around stan- dard. Nevertheless McCarthy's mas- terful work with what he's had and it's been no more than the rest of them-has produced another juggernaut that is well on hte way to spread-eagling the field.
 There are currently two or three shining players to whom Mccarthy has given 8 deep understanding of CIlC UdolC pA 1ACAJlCo Ol CllC SulilC w cause he has an enviable ability to impart knowledge to any players who comes under his tutelage and is willing to learn.
 Take Johnny Lindell or Nick Et- ten, for example Neither was much as player before Mccarthy cast him in his mold. Lindell came up from Newark touted as pitcher and was miserable failure. Yet Mc- Carthy saw the makings of a hitter in him and patiently converted him into an outf1elder. Lindell was up among the leading hitters of the league for most of the season and lately has shown signs of emerg- ing from the student slump that gripped him.
 Etten was another beautiful bust With the As and PhillieS, Nick had never found success, but under the eye of Mccarthy he has developed into a worthy hitter. Already he has been compared to Lou Gehrig as a Yonkee guardian of first base which is the highest type of Flat tery.
 The Yankees play at St. Louis and Boston invades Chicago in night game in the only contests scheduled today in the major leagues.

'CANSETT FANS FLAUNT OPAL;
 ALSAB BEATEN

Pawtucket, R. T., Aug. 10. OUP)- The 42-day summer meeting at Narragansett Park Horse Race track was off to flying start after the opening day say many of the 11,O00 patrons Haunt the OPA mo- driving regulations to reach the track and fager a total of $45,436.
 The pari- -mutuels handle was $115,595 more than the correspond ing day last year when there was no transportation problem and ob- servers believed it was due to the appearance of famed Alsab in the featured $5,000 Pawtucket Handicap sprint. The little bargain colt hadn't raced since last November.
 Alsab appeared lame as he came out for the race and trailed the field until the stretch when he turned on burst of speed and fin ished in show position. Cherrydale won in creditable fashion with Val dina Alpha taking the place spot.
 Defiance
 Some 2,000 of the fans drove to the track and at least 100 ignored OPA warnings and a track an- nouncement closing the park spaces and drove through the gates into the track grounds. Others parked on roads near the track or on pri- vate property.
 Deputy State OPA Director Charles MacKay said no OPA in spectors were on duty but that strict enforcement steps would be taken. Gov. J. Howard McGrath's com ment on the situation was that he believed no one should do anything to delay lifting of the pleasure driv- ing ban"

skirmish and were breezing along until Schang always timely hit ter, singled off Art Nehf to open the eighth. What followed chaser Nehf, and the Tanks took it all, 6-4.
 One of Mite Manager Higgins few mistakes was the trading of Schang to the Browns in '26. Waliys eyes were reported failing, but he could .see well enough to hit .330 in 1O3 games. He was the Browns first-string receiver in '27-28-29, and then was traded back to the As for Third Baseman Sammy Hale just in time for another World Series!
 Schang was raised on a farm near DuPuy, N. Y, but was city slicker in back of the plate.
 "The catcher is the jockey" he explains. "The pitcher is the horse. A good horse will lose with a bad rider. The catcher must not let the pitcher lose his courage, confidence, control.'
 Iron Man Schang considers Chief Bender the top pitcher of them all, and not because the Chippewa gave him his first break in July, 1913, when he asked Connie Mack to "let the kid catch me-
 "Bender was crabby old Indian" relates Schang, but what heart he had and what an arm.'
 The same may be said of Wally Schang.
