we would raise half this next war

The New York Yankees are riding
the crest of an eight-game winning
streak. matching their longest pre-
vious victory string of the season,
but the team is just coasting.
Ignoring the fact that the CAM
paign has two weeks to run and
they haven't clinched the pennant

their day-to- day business in stride
and concentrating on the World
Series.
In their clubhouse before the

Bettina, ,PreyofBivins,
Refuses 10 Blame
Army for Defeat
BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, Sept. Is. - Corpl.
Melio Bettina wouldn't say so today
but it's a safe guess he's convinced
Army life and Jimmy Bivins don't
mix.
Before dropping 1O-round de-
cision to the Cleveland Negro last
night, the New York military police
man declared the Army had made
him a better fighter and vowed he'd
prove it at Bivins' expense.
I'm not talking" was Bettina's
tired reply to questioners who in
vaded his dressing room after the
scrap.
The 1870 customers who contrib
uted $52,650 to witness the skirmish
in Clevelands 1ake-front stadium
didn't see the same Bettina who
southpawed his way to an easy tri-
umph over Bivins in November Of
l94l. They didn't see the same
Bivins, either, for the long armed
Clevelander warded off the M. P.'s
portside slants and connected more
consistently and more effectively
with ripping right hands.
After a slow opening heat, Bet
tina drove Bivins to the ropes with
a solid left hook in the second
his best round of the evening.
Referee Jackie Davis awarded Biv-
ins the third because of low punch,
but Jimmy had warmed up to his
work and didn't need the assist.
Bivins concentrated his heavy fir
ing in the sixth, seventh and eighth.
He staggered Bettina against the
ropes with trio of rights in the
sixth, waged double-fisted often
sive in the seventh and drew blood
from the corporaIs nose in the
eighth.
In stretching his own victory
string to 13, Bivins handed Bettina
his first loss in Is engagements as
a heavyweight. The Clevelander
weighed 1922, 8 pounds less than
Bettina.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 {P.-
With the major league pro foot
ball season opening Sunday, this
corner offers scouting report
from one of the biggest and best
kibitzers in the business. To get
1t over quick, he picks the Bears
and the Redskins.
Skinning the Redskins.-The
way our informant sees it, you
can laugh off those three presea-
son games the Redskins lost.
They couldn't do much scrim-
maging with a 28-man squad, he
explains, and they had to get
ready in a hurry for the All-Stars
with 80 men. But Sammy Baugh
seems to have recovered from
whatever ailment was bothering
him at the start and is hitting
his pass receivers in his best form.
The older players are just begin
ming to get into shape and when
they do, they'll be tough. The
Skins have a whale of defensive
player in Wilbur Moore. Their
only competition in the East
should come from the Giants,
who'll be a lot better than last
year. since the rockies seem to be
coming along just the way Steve
Owen hoped they would.
More Bear stories-The Bears

two big guards, Fortmann and
Musso, and a good-looking boy
named Merkel from Kansas ALSO
