BOSOX SERIES MAY DECIDE
 TANK CHANGES
By GLEN PERKINS

By GLEN PERKINS
 United Press stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, July 13.-(UP)-The New York Yankees, whose name used to strike fear into the hearts of other American league clubs, to- day were scheduled to open a series with the Boston Red Sox which could very well make or break their chances for another .pennant.
 The Tanks, now in third place, three and half games of the pace setting St. Louis Browns and arl- other game behind the Red Sox might regain their old-time spirit with a successful stand against Bos- ton in this six game set.
 The Tanks have good reason to take Q new outlook on life and after having had their share of bad breaks, the law of averages might begin to operate and even things up. Tuck Stainback, their 400 hit ting outfielder who broke an ankle more than a month ago, is round- ing into shape and should be ready to play regularly again when the club heads west next week.
 Nm the Groove
 Mike Milosevich, who was called up in an effort to replace the prac- tically indispensable Frankie Cro- Setti, has started to hit since Man ager Joe Mccarthy pushed him up to the leadoff slot and now has hit safely in his last nine games. Milosevich proved disappointing in his first few games of major league competition but now that he has become acclimated, he may prove to be the plug for a big hole in the Yankee infleld.
 The recent showing of big Emer- son Roser, rookie pitcher, has given the staff another starter as Mo- Carthy moved him in a regular role and assigned Joe Page to bull-pen duty. Roser, the biggest man on the squad, won his first start last week and his promotion gives Mo- Carthy five starting hurlers, Hank Borowy, Ernie Bonham, Alley Don- aid, Monk Dubiel and himself. Bill Zuber also is available for spot as- Signment.
 Big Chance
 The Tanks open their series with the Red Sox with a pair of games today and sweep of the twin bill would put them in second place. In other games in the American league, the St. Louis Browns play two at Cleveland and Chicago plays a sim gle game against Detroit. In the National league New York plays Philadelphia, Pittsburgh is at Chi cago and Cincinnati plays at St. Louis.
 There was no activity yesterday at players returned to their teams from the all-star game at Pitts burgh.

Pep In Boston For Ortiz Go

Boston, July 13 - (UP) - World featherweight champion Willie Pep of Hartford, Conn, arrived today to complete training for the battle of champions at Braves field Monday night in which he meets Manuel Or Tiz of Fl Centro, Cal, bantamweight champion of the world.
 Pep was expected to rule a slight favorite to defeat the Mexican mite who has fought himself out of fights and fighters in his own class and came east in hope of garnering the world featherweight and perhaps the world lightweight crowns.
 Odd-makers were favoring Pep because of his showing in Chicago last Friday where he invaded the lightweight ranks to give Willie Joyce a boxing lesson. Joyce had just completed beating Henry Arm- strong for the second time.
 Despite Pep's great record of 7l victories in 75 fights, Ortiz was con- fident that he would halt the bout with knockout long before the | 10th round.
 Expect 2O,OOO
 In his first appearance here, Or- tiz opened against Larry Bolvin in unimpressive style but wound dp with basrage that had the Provi- dence, R. I. featherweight reeling in the last three rounds.
 This first in history appearance of two champions here was expected to attract one of the largest crowds ever to witness an outdoor boxing match in Boston and promoter Ed- die Mack anticipated an audience of better than 10000.

runs were harder to get and shut outs came easier.
 Since Grover Cleveland Alexander set the all-time record for shutouts in one season at l6 back in 1918, 10 has been tops for any hurler in any one year, Hubbell had 10 in '33; Mort Cooper in 42. Walters has plenty of time to get to 10 and perhaps beyond, Old Alex holds the N. L, lifetime record of 90 made over a pitching stretch of 20 years. This is beyond Bueky's ken, due to his having joined the pitching guild at the advanced age of 25,

This Sporting World
Pert Paragraphs

One thing in particular stood ou like headlight on a midnight trair when the quarterly National Boxing Association ratings were announced today. That was the recognition o1 Sal Bartola of Boston as WORLDS FEATHERWEIGHT CHAM PION the same Bartolo, whom Willie Per of Hartford, the real world champ recognized only in New York and possibly one other state, defeated TWICE, so decisively- at Braves field, Boston last summer that there was no question about the better man, even by the most ardent Bar tola rooters, who first saw their idol peppered by Pep at Boston Garden three months earlier.
 Yet, the NBA says Bartola is world champion in 46 states, includ- ing Connecticut, home of Willie Pep, and makes the situation all the more RIDICULOUS, by recognizing Pep as the outstanding challenger Right now, Bartola would rather fight Lou Nova, heavyweight than tangle with Pep for the third time, with BOTH TITLES at stake.

For instance, in a six round bout, the referee would total his round scores at the end of four, CHECK THE ADDITION, ard then have nothing to worry about but the last two rounds. In an eight rounder, he takes a total and checks at the end of six rounds. That can be done very easily during the one minute rest period between any rounds. The writer is positive it would positive ly eliminate any mistakes in ad- dition before a referee leaves the ring, as he does not give his final decision until after the boxers go to their corner at the end of the last round. and the referee scores that round on his card, checks his figures, and THEN gives the deci- sion.

Hundreds of boxing fans on vaca- ton at the various shore resorts from Savin Rock to the New York state line and in various other parts of Connecticut have generated con- siderable interest in the signing of worlds Featherweight Champion Willie Pep of Hartford for a ten round bout with Charley (Lulu) Constantine of New York, an out standing lightweight for the past two years.
 An approximate seating capacity of more than 10000 will be set up with tickets for the big fight show under promotion of George Mulli- gan, on sale today for $750, $5.50, and $250 as more than 200 reserva- tions have already been received for ringside ducats.
 Wants the Best
 Promoter Mulligan intends to pre- sent the best show from top to bot tom that is possible to buy as is in- dicated by his guarantee of $l7,500 to the two main bout performers, Pep and Constantine. Comfortable seating is another angle that he will insist upon, particularly in the re- served seat sections.
 On January 2, 1944, Lulu Con- stantino received the vote of Ref cree Eddie Josephs over Beau Jack, outstanding lightweight in the country at that time! now in the U. s. Armp; and though both judges voted against Constantine, and for the Georgia Negro, Lulu is satisfied that he won the fight, as were many of the fans who saw him box the wild swinging Beau Jack into knots.

By JACK CUDDY United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, July 13 - (U.P0 - Luke Sewell'S mystery team" of St. Louis Browns resumes its pennant campaign today, almost monopoliz- ing the baseball spotlight.
 Rarely has any club commanded such attention at this stage of the race. Unusual interest is focused up- on it's because: CD the Browns are the surprise leaders of the Amer icaln League; CD Their consistency as compared with rival clubs, won the lads from St. Loo new respect during the first half of the season.
 However, many experts and fans still regard them as a question mark that may not be able to fight of a menacing challenge should any of their rivals suddenly staging win- ming splurge.
 Close
 The Browns lead is small and the race is tight, the margin from top to bottom being only nine games, and their span over the second place Boston Red Sox is but a scant two and half games.
 Meanwhile. their city rivals. the St. Louis Cardinals, boast 10 1-2 game lead in the National League, a fact which adds interest to the Browns campaign because of the possibility of an intra-city series.
 The preseason odds were against the Browns winning the pennant for two reasons. CD They have never copped the American League flag, and @ They were a sixth place club last year.
 On the other hand, the Browns have had an uphill fight thus far during the campaign and have managed to rise to most occasions to fight off bids to unseat them at the top of the circuit. Since open ing day, April IS, St. Louis has been out of first place only IT days and has been at the top steadily since June 2. The Browns never have been below third. With 79 games already in the books, they have won 45 and lost 34 for a percentage of .570- not a remarkable or even good rec- ord on the basis of other years-but currently it's the best in the loop and that's what they pay of on.
 The schedule also favors St. Louis. So far this season the Brownies have displayed a decided preference for their own park, winning Q greater percentage of home games than they have won on the road. Of the 75 games left to play, St Louis is scheduled for A in Sportsman's Park. Moreover, they conclude the season with a 17-game home stand, a real break and one they probably will need if they are to capture their first pennant.
 High Spirit
 Sewell,s surprises have shown no signs of coming apart at the seams. After a record breaking start in which they captured nine successive games, the Browns have maintained a splendid fighting spirit that un- doubtedly has won games for them. They have bounced back from a four or five game losing string to win an equal number and balance the budget
 The pitching staff boasts no out standing performers but is compos- ed of bunch of hard working guys who bear down on every pitch. The infield probably is the best in the league and the Outfield has proved capable.
 Sewell makes no predictions re- garding the clubs chances but in reply to a query as to whether the Browns were going to win the pen- nant, he said:
 Who's going to beat us?"
 It's a moot question.
