Dewey Must Get Breaks"
For the first time since 1864, the
country Is electing a President in
the midst of war. President Roose-
welt is campaigning for reelection
as Commander in Chief" The
United States is winning the war.
The plea to retain Mr.. Roosevelt is
potent for that reason.
Despite a Republican trend in
many of the States of the North,
East and West, it is apparent that
Gov. Dewey must have nearly all
the breaks" to win the national
race. Especially is this true in New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio
and Michigan. He must carry New
York if he is to win, and probably
Pennsylvania, too. If Illinois and
Ohio should both 60 against him,
he would be lost.
One thing is easily apparent. The
popular vote for the presidency may

Mason and Dixon line to Maine.

The decision in all probability will
be made in the Atlantic Coast
States. Upon the ability of the
President or Gov. Dewey to carry
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, and Connect
cut rests the result.
Dividing the States into -four
groups, the solid South, the Atlantic
Coast, the area west of the Allie

Fine Weather Toniqhi
Seen for Postponed
Shucco, Hart Fight

The weatherman today promised
Promoter Joe Turner a clear, cool
evening for the heavyweight brawl
between Tony Shucco and Al Hart
at Griffith Stadium as the Connec-
ticut Avenue Citizens Association
generously delayed its softbal twin
bill in the ball park tonight to allow
the leather pushers to put on pro-
gram postponed from last evening
because of threatening weather.
New development in the main
event is that Hart will carry a 461a-
pound weight advantage. At the
Boxing Commission yesterday the
giant District Negro weighed 226,
while Tony scaled 179la and ap-
peared a midget beside the noun
tain of beef and muscle.
Shucco laughed off Hart's weight
advantage. Whats 46 pounds?"
he said. Its just that much extra
weight to carry around and slow
him down. I'd rather fight a big
guy than little man anytime, and
I never met a big guy yet who
wasn't easy to tag and get away
from"
Tony should know what he Is
talking about. because the Bostonian
has been meeting all comers for
more than IL years and has given
away weight many times. The
odds-makers, however, who saw the
huge Hart in the best condition of
his career, were quick to shorten
their previous quotation Of 7 to 5
on Tony to an even money prop
osition and today there was some
talk Of 6-to-5 wagers on Hart to
win by a knockout.
The show carries over the same
preliminary card, after Turner
drove all over Washington last night

Coleman Calls Bruin
National Leagues
Most Valuable
BY JACK HAND.
snrtat t>A nr>s~ Ga&-Ss yHr~sx. i.

Evansville Bob Coleman, manager
OF the Boston Braves. today picked
the Chicago Cubs to win the second
place scrap in the National League
and labeled the Bruins Outfielder
Bill Nicholson the most valuable
player In the circuit.
AS the Nationals Eastern teams
headed West for their last long
jaunt of the season and the st. Louis
Browns led the Americans Western
clubs on a final Eastern invasion,
Coleman left little doubt about his
concession Of the. flag to the st.
Louis Cardinals whom he called the
only real ball club" in the majors.
With the exception of the New
York Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates
who are playing OF a postponed
game in Pittsburgh, all big league
clubs enjoyed a second successive
open date.
With the Cards enjoying a 161z-
game lead and only SIS to go. Ma
tional League managers couldn't be
blamed for following Coleman's
train of thought and talking about
the second-place scrap.
The portly catcher from back
home in Indiana who is completing
his first season as big league man
ager doesn't hit Chicago for another
week, but thoughts of Nicholson
trouble his sleep.
when the Cubs were stumbling
around the basement, Nicholson was
hitting around .230," the Boston
skipper pointed out, "he didn't hit
a homer until midway, like last year,
but once he started those Cubs have
been plenty rough"
Marty Marion of the Cards is a
close second to Nicholson as most
valuable, but think Nicholson does
more for the Cubs than Marion can
do for st. Louis. That Marion,
thought, Is an octopus at shortstop.
With help like that no wonder Billy
Southworth's pitching looks good.

and Ray Sanders :. and Kurowshi

Long Drills Ordered for Mats:
BoIund's Leuve Is Extended
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

With his Mats recklessly throwing
away ball games, Ossie Bluege has
opened school for them again. All
hands were to report to the skipper
at Grimth Stadium this morning
and he planned to send them
through long batting and fielding
drills in preparation for the in
vasion Of the Western clubs begin
ming tomorrow night.
The Mats still need more talent,
but all Clark Grifnth, their presi-
dent, has been able to do for them
consists Of an extension of leave
from the New York Sanitation De-
partment for Eddie Boland, tenn
porary outfielder.
Griffith had intended to recall
Vernon Curtis, righthand pitcher,
from Minneapolis of the American
Association, but reconsidered.
Boland Helps in Pinches.
Boland, who has been spending
his vacation performing for the
Mats, was to have left the club
within a week, but extra leave given
him by his New York Office will
enable him to remain with the club
another IS days or until September /.
More than any of the regular
Mats, Boland came through with
timely punches during the Western
swing and while he hasn't the speed
to make him much of a fielder he
can be plenty of help at the plate
TO an outfit that needs help there
badly
Curtis, who came up to the Mats
by way of Atlanta of the Southern
Associa ton, lacked polish as he
worked through the training CAM
paign at College Park last spring
and apparently hasn't set the Amer
lean Association on fire.
With Milo Candini on the side
lines nursing a mashed finger on his
pitching hand and some of the other
Nat slabmen in none too good trim,
Bluege is in q fix for pitchers. Per-
haps Grif1lth was prompted to call
of the Curtis recall because he has
a line on some other talent. If so,
he isn't saying anything.
