Divisions Win Championship Beating Bulldogs Fl

Much to the disgust of the Bisons and the BG's, the boys from the Di- vision St. playground had no trouble whatsoever in trouncing the Bull dogs to the tune of seven to one, clinching beyond all doubt their hold upon the 1943 pennant.
 Nick Peruginis boys started the season off poorly. losing four games in row. They frightened up their belts than and won every game they played.
 The long lead they opened up in today'S game over the Bulldogs. came as quite a surprise since in a previous encounter the two teams had battled 1t out for more than twelve innings each holding tight to one run. Today, however the Bulldogs were definitely out of the running, more than once displaying bonehead baseball at it's worst.
 Much of the credit for the Divi- sions' victory should go to pitcher Frank Daddona who allowed the op- posing batters only two hits and then hit safely twice when he came to bat.
 Scardett and Daddona came across the plate with two runs each.
 The Bisons and the BG's are now tied for second place. Both teams have to play the Bulldogs. Upon the outcome of these games, rests the second place honors,

 New York, Aug. 18-CUP)-It is difficult to reconcile the two current charges against big Bobo Newsom (A six St. Louis pitching defeats, and (B) $935 worth of groceries.
 Bobo, the meandering monologist, hasn't won 8 game since his stormy transfer from Brooklyn to the Browns on July Is. His mound rec ord with St. Louis indicates that he is lacking in vitamins, calories and hnetic energy-that he is weaker than dieting angora.
 Despite this display of debility, H. J. edfearn of Hartsville, s. C., (Bobo's home town, is suing the 34-year-oid righthander on a $935 grocery bill of this years vintage. Counsel for grocer Redfearn cer- tainly will reject any prospective juror who has seen Newsom in a Brownie uniform.

Ruffin Victim Of New York 'Jinx'

New York, Aug. IS - A one-time copy reader, now a press agent, once wrote headline as follows:
 ART NEHF AGAIN PROVES
 NEMESIS TO PITTSBURGH
 He gt bawled out right proper for that by the managing editor who said that Nemesis was not good headline word and that the copy reader should have used "Jinx".
 Ever since then the former copy reader who Is now a press agent has avoided use of Nemesis al- ways substituting "jinx."
 The press agent was reminded of that incident in his newspaper career i'll looking over the Madison Square Garden record of Bobby Rufiin. Long Island lightweight who opposes Cleo Shans, Los Angeles. in the feature ten at the Garden Fri day night
 The Garden has long been hard luck spot for Ruffin. He hasn't lost many fights in his six years of cam. paigning but three of his most im- portant losses came in the Garden ring.
 Rutfin appears to be another Of those fighters who box like world champions everywhere but in New York. Remember Jeff Smith? He could beat Harry Greb and other champs all over the world but in New York he was distinct flop. In recent years Bob Pastor and Lee Savolo, among others, were victims of this same jinX.
 In New Orleans, Bobby Ruffin would be at least two to one fav- orite over any lightweight in the world, That's the way Rufiin has looked in his several fights down there, particularly in the two bouts in which he knocked out Richie Le- mos and Bobby Mcintyre. In Balti- more, in Chicago and even in Phil adelphia, home of Bob Montgomery, Ruiiin is rated at or close to the top,
 Rutiin believes he will smash the Garden jinx when he faces shans Friday, Indeed he came close to do. ing just that in his last appear ance there, on Jun {. when he turned In one Of his best perform ances against Terry Young. The officials called that contest . draw but . majority Of those who saw it thought Rufiin had an edge.

sufficient fodder-and then briefly That was on July "A, at Boston when struck by Oscar Judd's line drive. Dauntless and lentless Bobo kept right on pitching for the rest of that fifth things. Only the fact the ball struck him in the head prevented serious injury. However, his valor went for naught, because the Red Sox immediately banged him for another single and home run wrapping up his recond Amer ican league defeat of the season.
 Bobo's failure with St. Louis was unexpected. He was the Dodgers leading pitcher, with nine victories and four defeats this season, when booted out of Brooklyn by Messrs. Hickey and Durocher for insubordi- nation. Moreover, he announced upon reluctant arrival in the Mis- souri metropolis, 'I'll pitch the Browns to the pennant."
 His tailspin could not have been caused by the mere shift to a Brownie suit, for Louis Norman Newsom already had a leg on the games uniform changing champion ship, having made 19 transfers since entering organized baseball in 1928. He had travelled about like a one man road show.
 But slump he did. In his first game at St. Louis, against the h. dianS, he was combed for six hits and seven runs before Manager Luke Sewell mercifully waved him to the showers in the third inning. Since then, he has lost five of six starts and failed to finish the other

 Perhaps clustering Bobo should have returned to Hartsville on July IA. That was the day when he bel lowed to New York reporters. I'll go back to my South Carolina farm and dig worms before I'll go ot St. Louis"
 The big fellow was distraught be- cause Brooklyn had traded him to the Browns after his fued with Dodger-Manager Leo Durocher all most caused a player strike at Eb- bets field. Bobo insisted "They gave me the rawest deal in baseball-me with nine wins this season." How ever. after those six St. Louis de- feats. it appears that maybe Don Barnes, who gave up two pitchers for Newsom. got the raw deal.
 Yes-Bobo should have returned to HartSville. No-thats wrong! We forgot about grocer Redfearn and that $935 suit.

This Sporting World
This, Thot And The Other
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

With the aid of such well-known public figures as Dan Harrington, Jr., and Police Commissioner Wen dell Cross, Waterbury, should not have too much difficulty securing necessary funds to send it's cham pion Washington Hill A. c. baseball club to the national tournament at Youngstown. Ohio. About $1,6OO is needed for the trip which must be made by regular train during the first part of the week preceding September 12 when the NABF tour nament will open in the same city that held it two years ago; Youngs- town, Ohio.
 Sunday baseball fans who have attended any of the games at Ham, llton Park each weekend generally admit that the 1943 brand of base ball has been the best seen in the league for 20 years; fact which is reflected in the increased at tendance and donations by the peo- pie who like to see the youngsters from Waterbury, Middlebury, Nauga- LUCK and Bristol play.
 In the case of the Washing
 ton Hills, one of the city's old
 est and active athletic institu-
 tions, the honor of going to the
 national meet has been hard
 won, but fairly won, and with
 an able and popular manager
 such as Pat Quilter, there's no
 telling how far they could go
 in the Youngstown meet. Eff
 teen years ago, in 1928 the
 Washington Hills sent team to
 the NABF meet in Cincinnati,
 which won two of four games,
 after dropping the first one. A
 Waterbury team has very little
 chance of winning a national
 title, as everyone knows, but,
 on the basis of the entertain
 ment they have provided each
 weekend, they are entitled to
 the chance, as long as their trip
 does not interfere with produc-
 tion if some of them are war
 plant workers.
