New York, July 6-UP)-Those durability twins" of the major leagues, Ray Mueller of the Reds and Frankie Hayes of the Athletics probably will be doing business at the same old stand-behind home plate-when the teams square of for the annual all-star sociable at Pittsburgh next Tuesday night, but if they obeyed their creaking zones they more than likely would take the night off.
 The all-star contest usually af- lords the majority of the major leagues a three-day vacation and how those two knights of the iron mask could use it. Neither one of them has missed a game this season and for catcherS that constitutes a baseball miracle
 Moreover, Mueller went through nearly half of last season handling every game for every Red pitcher and yesterday he tied 8 modern Ma tional league mark for 35 years standing when he caught his l33rd straight contest over the two-year span.
 This business of overtime" in baseball's most gruelling job is nothing new to these specialists in a spot where its a soft day if you don't get some hard knocks. Mueller caught in Al of Cincinrati's 154 games last year and as a minor leaguer with Sacramento in the Pacific Coast league in 1922 worked in l66 games. The 32-year- old veteran who was born in the soft coal country of southern Kan has has been in 5l0 major league games in six and half seasons and he wasn't even regular when he started with the Boston Braves in 1895. He also had seen service with the Pittsburgh Pirates who moved him into the St. Louis Cardinal chain in l940 where he remained until Cincinnati acquired him in 1922.
 The ironies that travel along baseball's trade routes have cast Frankie Hayes with the second di- VlolOtl AIlllCblSo hiiClCoo aA RAhAAoeSA Luke Sewell of the St. Louis Browns hadn't chosen to dispose of two of the top catchers in the major leagues at once he would be riding with a potential pennant winner.
 For a season and a half Hayes had life easy in St. Louis sharing the backstopping duties with Rick Fer rell a pretty untiring veteran him. self. Then Sewell who must have had a reason decided to dispose of both of them sending Terrell to Washington and Hayes to Philadel- phia.
 The name Hayes of the As" graced Philadelphia box scores from 1883 to i942.
 What Sewell and his high travel ing Brownies might have been able to do with either Hayes or Ferrell in his lineup this season is another story. Both are in the all-star game giving indication that the managers rank them as tops" in their pro- fession.

 so far back it was like playing on a prairie.
 Bay hit the ball hard and be- tween the left and center fielders. The man, who later in games actually ran from the plate to first base in three and one-fifth seconds, picked up Janson at second base. The pitcher was so slow, however, that our center fielder retrieved the ball in the distant precinct and two relays got it to me on the first hop in time to tag Janson falling into the plate exhausted, and then Bay, attempting to hook slide around. My eyes popped out completing a double play on what easily should have been home run.

Homestead Groys Brosscos Foes, Greet Attraction

Even since he first undertook showing travelling clubs here under lights two years ago, Manager Fred Davi of the Brasscos has received more requests to bring the Home stead Grays here than any other club. It is. with great pleasure that the local management announces the coming of the Negro National League champions here Saturday night for a game under lights with the Brasscos. Even Satchell Paige and the Kansas City Monarchs are no more in demand this season than the Grays with the great Josh" Gibson, the Brown Bambino, behind the bat.
 It was in September of 1883 play ing against the Lincoln Giants in Yankee Stadium that Gibson gained nationwide prestige by whacking 8 liner way up between the grand- stand and the bleachers. It was the first time that a ball had ever been hit that far in the house that Ruth built" Seven years elapsed before big Hank Greenberg of the Tigers almost hit the ball just as far to the same spot. Tn 1881, the summer Gib- son lashed out 75 homers, he blast ed pitch high over the center field fence in Forbes field. Pittsburgh at a point officials estimated as ASA, a distance no player of any major league club has since equalled.
 Taylor To Pitch?
 That's the kind of swatting that the Brassco fans can expect to see Saturday night when the great Josh" comes here with the Greys Just whom Manager Davi and Coach Larry Mullen expect to use on the mound against such power hitter has not been announced but it is reported that Johnny Taylor famous fireballer from Hartford, may come here for the big game.
 The remarkable thing about Gib- sons hitting is that it practically assures him of a base on balls every time he comes to bat during the Na- tional League race. However, Man. ager Davi does not intend to do any suych thing Saturday night. Well have someone in there that will pitch to Gibson and we'll have pretty good outfield too as defense against the Negro worlds champion batsman." stated Davi today.

FIGHTING STORIES FOR FIGHTING MEN = Lynch Regoined Bontom Title;
 Deserves Higher Rating Than Thot Of Lend-Leose Champion
Another of a series
  By BILLY ROCHE Famous Referee

Abormally tall for his lls pounds pale to the point of cancellation brown -haired, blue-eyed Joe Lynch appeared an easy mark to the dead-end kids in the Roaring For ties of the west side of New York Rueful experience soon taught them however that the skinny kid from West 47th Street was no bargain in a fist fight.
 PerSonable Joe Lynch, Chockful of character, was raised in an Irish neighborhood in which a boy had to fight his way along from the time he got up in the morning un- til he went to bed.
 Rangy Joe Lynch, he stood five feet eight-had all the answers when he made his first professional start in a l0-round nodecision match with Johnny Ertle.
 Lynch took them on as they came, reigned in an era when little men achieved their greatest ascen- dency. He competel in a superlative fleld,' boasts the most impressive knockout record compiled by a ban tam in modern times. He was fine stand up boxer who could knock the other fellows head off with a right.
 Lynch got in more than 150 en- agreements over an 11-year stretch quit wealthy and with all his marbles when it became increas- ingly difficult for him to do 11s pounds. He was never knocked out MEMBERS OF AEF TEAM
 Private Lynch was a member of the AEF team when he dropped a debatable four-round decision to Jimmy Wilde, Dec. II, 1918. Tn multi again, he remained in Lon- don to defeat Tommy Noble in % and lose another controversial yer dict to Wilde, this time after t rounds.
 Lynch is one of the few fighter. who regained a world champion. ship. He struck his swiftest stride 1 toward the flag end of 1920, knock ing out Abe Goldstein in II, Littl, Jack Sharkey in IS and winning tht 118-pound leadership by taking ; 15-round decision from Pete Her man in old Madison Square Gar den, Dec g, on the eve of the Nev Orleans Italians sailing for London to engage Wilde.
 Herman. a truly great fighter disposed of Wilde in IT, and tn following July 25 turned the table on Lynch in grueling 15-rounde in Brooklyn.
 Some were critical enough t hint that Herman had merely lef the crown for safe-keeping. Wild was regarded as unbeatable, espec ially in the British Isles, at tn time. Herman relinquished the til to Johnny Buff, however, and Lyncl stiffened the former sailor in to re-scale the heights, July 10, 192: WEIGHT MADE HIM RETIRE
 Lynch had to take a Turkis bath to get down to 118 for Alb Goldstein. March 21. 1924, whe he lost the title for the secon time. It was time for him to re tire, but he boxed two more year, and was still able to take care c himself when he hung 'em up.
 Joe Lynch. now landlord in hi old neighborhood. a farmer an postmaster of New City. N. Y deserves higher rating than tha Of lend-lease champion.
