PITCHING GOOD
IN MAJORS WITH
ALL OF UPSETS
Bv PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, Aug. ) (UP) -
Despite the uncertainties that have
beset baseball this year, pitching
has been as good if not better
than 1912 with five major league
moundsmen virtually certain to
reach the 20-games-Won mark.
Last year, only four pitchers
Mort Cooper and Johnny Beazley
of the Cardinals, Ernie Bonham of
the Yankees and Tex Hughson OF
the Red SoX - won 20 or more
games. BeaAe5, 81 game victor,
has gone into the service.
Cooper, winner of % in 1912, has
won Is this season and is almost
sure to hit the bullseye. Hughson,
with II wins this year, and Bon
ham, with 10 have just an outside
chance TO click.
Rip Sewell of the Pirates, who
never before has registered as many
as 20 major league victories, al
ready has won II while losing two.
Three other entrants probably
will be Spud Chandler of the YAM
KEGS, Hi Bithorn of the Cubs and
Elmer Riddle of the Reds. Chandler
and Bithorn have won l3 decisions
each. Riddle has checked in with Ia.
Four slabmen, Jim Bagby OF the
Indians, early Wynn of the Sena-
tors. Dizzy Trout of the Tigers and
Hughson, have notched II triumphs
while six others have hit the 10
game standard. They are Claude
Passeau of the Cubs, Ray Starr OF
the Reds, Oscar Judd Of the Red
SoX. AL Smith of the Indians;
Crval Grove of the White Sox and
Bonham.
Only one game was played yes
terday 49, Pittsburgh defeating the
Phillies, 6-2 in a night game. One
game is scheduled today as the
majors 90 through two days OF
virtual inactivity before resuming
Friday for three days Of competi-
ton that will see east play east
and west meet west in both circuits.
Vince Di Maggie 5 18th homer
with one on clmaXed a four-run
Pittsburgh rally in the seventh to
insure the victory over the Phillies.
Schoolboy Rowe started for the
Phillies, allowed two runs in the
first inning and then, after tight
ening up for the next five frames,
had to retire in the seventh be-
cause Of a sore arm.
Al Gerheauser succeeded him and
allowed two Of the four runs TO get
charged with the loss although
Newt Kimball was pitching when
Di Maggie connected. Max Butcher
held the Phillies 10 eight hits for
his sixth win.
Yesterdays star-Vince Di Maggie

PLAYERS SCORE
AT
T!LTS

FL Centre softball players have
recently expressed concern over the
poor attendance at league games
and many of them have accused
local residents of throwing away
time in saloons and other places Of
entertainment rather than spending
it at athletic contests.
Following is a letter from Corp.
George Victorino. manager of the
Marine team. ON the subject:
Sports Editor
Post Press
FL Centre. Calf.
Dear Sir:
One of the most disgusting things
occurring nightly at the local ball
park is the meager sprinkling OF
fans in attendance during the local
league games. In Brawley the
spectators do not have the con-
veniences at their ball diamond
like those the people in El Centre
have afforded them-such conVen-
fences as a number one grandstand,
rest-rooms. drinking water, public
address system, organized umpiring,
etc.
Still the fans at the games there
outnumber the spectators at local
games by nearly 20 to /. The same
is true in Imperial and Holtville.
Why is that? Can it be that the
local townspeople are not interested
enough in sports to give it Just an
iota of their precious time-time
that is spent at bars, movies and
other functions?
No one in this country, at least,
can dictate to the people just what
they can do and what they should
do. All the more reason why they
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunities open TO them to enjoy to
the fullest extent. Some of the
games this season have been down.
right hard to watch, still they some
times take a turn for the humor-
Gus side. All in all, they are
worthwhile entertainment.
Perhaps if a charge for admis-
sion were made at the gate, ii
would add just enough class to
make the entry inviting.
It's really a shame when FL Cen
tro has to take a back seat from
neighboring towns. A city of its
size is capable of exceeding, by far
it's present record Those of us
connected with the Softball League
have tried our best-only the pub
lie can repay our efforts by theii
support.
Yours truly

from the errors and mistakes OF the
past"
In his discourse leading up to the
eXhortation for observance of the
laws of humanity in the air war,
the Pope was quoted as saying:
1T is painful and deplorable to
see that often during this war one
sees moral judgment rendered on
certain actions which are in dis
accord with right and with the laws
of humanity simply because the one
responsible belongs to one or the
other of the parties in conflict, with
out taking account as to whether
these actions are or are not in con-
formity with the dictates of the
eternal judge.
"On the other hand, the progress
sive applications of the means Of
strife. which make no distinction
between military and military
objectives and the ever-increasing
violence of war, draw attention to
the dangers inherent in the sad and
inexorable relation between action
and reprisalS to the detriment not
only of peoples and individuals. but
of the whole community of nations. !"
The Holy Father concluded his
discourse, the broadcast said, by ex-
pressing the hope that there would
be new world in which all nations,
cured of the wounds opened by vio-
lence, would advance in perfect har-
mony on the road toward better
| things
