Berlin propagandists appeared to

nouncement that the Soviet Union
is to get approximately one-third OF
the surrendered italian fleet, inter-
Ipreting it as an intrusion of Russia
into the Mediterranean to the dis
comfort of Britain.
One DNB report, relaying what
purported to be dispatches from Lis

concerning:
Improper use of motor trans

Drinking in public places.
Excessive drinking at any time.
In this connection public drunken

for the sternest disciplinary action
permissible.

Tigers Facing
Bosoxin Bid
for2nd Place

DETROIT, Aug. Is - PD -
Southpaw Hal NeWhouser went
after his Goth triumph of the sea-
son today as the Detroit Tigers,
bidding for second place in the
American League, tangled with
the Boston Red Sox in a double
header.
A victory for Newhouser, who
was opposed by Emmett O'Neil,
would give him the lead in the
race for the Leagues pitching
title and would boost him ahead
of his teammate, Paul Dizzy
Trout, who has won 19 games.
The Tigers, who with the New

game behind the second place
Red Sox going into the twin bill,
were rained out in the sixth with
the score deadlocked at Ball in
their game with Boston yester-
day.
Johnny Corsica, assigned to
the mound for Detroit in the
nightcap, opposed Joe Bowman,
who has won eight and lost six.
Corsica has won five and drop

Rain yesterday deprived
Trout of a chance for his goth
victory.
The Sox grabbed 3 to l lead
before the game was held up for
an hour by rain while the Tigers
were batting in the fourth inn
ing, but Detroit came back TO
score a pair Of runs and tie the
score before the rain finally
chased the players to the club
| house.
The Tigers, making their last
appearance of the year in Bos-
ton, move on TO New York for a
game Saturday with the Yam
KEGS. The series with New York
winds up the Tigers current
road trip. A twin victory today
would give the Tigers an edge
over Boston in the seasons Sc
ries, the Tigers having won sew

ed in ties.
Singles by Roger Cramer and

The elements have finally
caught up with softball in this
city. After completing the reg

two-thirds was played without.
a game being postponed ny
rain, the final play-off contest
ants have been treated quite
rough this past week by old
Jupe Pluvius.
Games scheduled for Monday.
Wednesday and Thursday were
washed out by rain either during
actual play or just before. And
to top it all off, the only contest
which went a full seven innings
was called due TO darkness with
both participants deadlocked.
To make the week a complete
failure as far as getting any
where in the playoffS, the Re-
creation Department has also
cancelled a scheduled game this
evening between Covered Was-
on and Super Cleaners due to
the poor condition of st. Mary'S
Stadium playing field.
The schedule for next week
is exactly the same as the one
which was interrupted SO many
times the past five nights. On
Monday Covered Wagon and
Super Cleaners will cross bats
at st. Mary's Stadium and Tues
day will find Denmarsh Hotel
and Hubarth G. Schott battling
each other on the same diamond.

this time and decisions are
reached in both instances, the
losers will meet on Thursday
evening and Friday will find

will also take place at ST. Mary's
Managers are urged to keep
in mind the starting time of all
playoff games which has been
set for Gas. In order to enable
both teams to use the diamond
for infield practise before game
time, mentors are asked by the
Department to spend
not more than 10 minutes on the
diamond for preliminaries.

BROWNS AND CARDINALS
SHOW SURPRISE
ATRlJMORS =.....
AT RUMORS

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ID Up
Baseball League leaders, like
men who hope to be nominated
for president, usually pretend
they don't know the score, so
the st. Louis Browns and Card
inals are acting surprised at
their 100 applications each day
for World Series seats.
Jim B ssfor advertising
manager for the Cards, said to-
cay he was returning all re-
quests for reservations with the
explanation that none will be
accepted until seats 60 on sale.
Then he muttered something
about waiting until the National
League pennant was "mathe-
matically secure"
Business Manager Bill Dewitt
of the Browns also is pushing
back the applications as soon as
they arrive-says he'll wait UNI
til the Browns chances are more
secure, or until Commissioners
Kenesaw Mountain Landis holds
a meeting to fix prices.
But even though the club
owners are acting as if they
hadn't seen the standings since
June, everyone else around here
seems certain st. Louis is head
ed for an all-city series.
Hotels report that an amaz-
ing number of people have de-
cided to visit st. Louis early in
October - so many that reser-
vationS must be turned down
One hotel man said things look
ed so bad he thought the Office
Of Defense Transportation might
have to have requirement linn
iting travel and housing to those
who had certificate Of neces-
sity - and necessity wouldn't
mean a choice seat behind third
base.
Plenty Of arguments are GO
ing around here, too. In nearly
all baroer shops the question is:
Who's the better shortstop, Mar
ty Marion of the Cards or Vern
Stephens of the Browns? It's
almost crowded out the old fav-
orite: What shall we do with
Hitler after the war?

They breezed through second
round competition yesterday
hardly without drawing a deep
breath but Nelson had a real
battle on his hands today with
Willie Goggin, White Plains, N.

one in Bob Hamilton, Evans

Nelson clouted out a 7 and g.
win over Merk Fry, Oakland.

while his erStwhile opponent,
Goggin, was taking the measure
of Tony Manero, Stamford,
Conn, 4 and 8.
Nelson advanced with below
par golf over the par 70 Mantle
course but so did Goggin, in
fact they had morning round
scores of SO.
McSpaden walloped Fred An
non, Mamaroneck, N. Y, 8 and
Z in the most one-sided ending
of the second round, but his
showing against par was not
much better than Hamilton's
who beat Harry Bassler, Culver
City, Calf, 6 and 5.
Other matches today brought
together Ed Dudley, Colorado
Springs, and Charles Congdon,
Tacoma, Wash, and Art Bell,
San Francisco, against George
Schneiter, Salt Lake. City.
Congdon and Bell furnished
the major upsets of the second
round. The Tacoman, playing
in his first P. G. A. champion
ship eliminated Sam Byrd, De-
troit, third high money winner
Of the year. The score was 2
and !, and 36-year-old Congdon
shaved par to chalk up the sur
prise win.

tus Of a month-long record of

the Cards humbled New York,

was shocked when Ketchel was
shot and killed the following
October, still talks at length on

Famous Referee

Willie Lewis was a cherub-
faced choir boy who could lick
all the tough kids in the tough
est neighborhood In New York
- the old Gas House District.
A fine soprano voice fooled
many a bully into a shellacking,
won young Lewis local repu-
tation and a modicum of money
in the theatrical world when
the no d Maggie Cline of
throw i'm Down, McCluskey"
fame, engaged him to sing in her
vaudeville skits. .
At IA, Willie's vocal chords
changed for the worse and his
fighting for the better, so he
began boxing as featherWeight
when hardly out of short pants.
Before he was through, Lewis
became a fighter of information
al renown, tackled lightweights,
welters, middleweights and fl
nally heavyweights with mark
ed success, although at his peak
he never scaled more than 1873.
He stood only five feet eight.
Lewis, always a gentleman
and a dude fighter of his pc
Rod, originated the one two
punch, taught Georges Carpen-
tier to box. Carpenter copied
Lewis style, threw his eXplos-
i've right hand precisely as did
Willie. FINALLY, the pupil proved
superior to the master when they
boxed 20 rounds in Paris, May
%, 1912, a hairline decision 60
ing to the youngster who was
to become the Orchid Man.
NATIONAL IDOL IN FRANCE
Lewis wasn't particular about
opponents, took them on as they
came. He tackled Sam Langford
as a weller when all others were
ducking Than, was knocked out
in the second stanza, but not
until he had dropped the Bos-
ton Tar Baby for a count Of nine
in the first with his famous
one two. Few heavyweights
knocked down Langford. and
those who did had to wait UNI
til he got Old and they caught
up with him.
Two years following tn
Langford match, Lewis took
six round newspaper decision
from the illustriouS Joe Cans in
New York.
Handsome, dapper and debo-
nair, the blond, blue-eyed Lewis
was a spontaneous hit when he
arrived in Paris in 1908. He
beat Jeff. Thorne, knocked out
half dozen of Europe's best in
succession, fin a ly flattened
three in one night to become
national idol.
Lewis m m y te 4 between
New York and Paris Six times
he visited the French capital,
stays lasting from one engage
ment to more than a year. Lewis
and his manager, Dan MCKct-
rick, contributed much to the
development of boxing in
