Former Fl Cenfran
Gets Draw Call

HOLLYWOOD, July 90. CUP) -
Bobby Claus, 152, Buffalo, N. Y,
floored Lige Drew, 145 Los Angeles,
in the final round of 10 round
bout, billed as one half of double
main event, at Legion Stadium
Friday night, but the judges called
the bout a draw.
Claus downed Drew with a right
to the chin, but referee Bill Ker-
sinner and Judge Reggie Gilmore
called it a draw, overruling Judge
frankie Dolan, who called it Claus
fight.
Joe Barnum, l42, Los Angeles,
landed a TKO on Billy Tierney's
chin in the second half of the main
event for a 10 round technical
knockout.
Drew formerly lived in El Centro
but now is boxing out of San Diego.

Thirty runs are enough to win
almost any kind of ball game, es-
pecially when one team annexes
l9 of them. This is all the more
true when hits and errors are scat
tered pretty generously among the
tallies.
And that's the story of the ALL
Star benefit exhibition game o.
softball at El Centro stadium Fri
day night when two picked teams,
Servicemen and Civilians crossed
bats for nine innings with the runs
divided l9 to II in favor of the
Civilians.
PITCHERS TUMBLE
Pitchers fell by the Wayside like
grain before a sickle, or by any
other comparison one might think
up. The no-hit, no-run Kalski feller
still may be in a daZe over two
homers smacked off his hitherto
mystery filings.
There were close decisions, fielder's
choices, spectacular catches, spec
tacular errors, humbled batters on
strike-outs, best hitters blanked and
what have you. Fouls insisted on
lighting atop the grandstand and
spectators had a thrill watching
Shuck try to claw and cleat his
way up the chicken wire to re-
trieve the ball certain pitcher
wanted. Shuck got high enough 10
see he couldn't squirm above the
projecting roof and then gave up.
In the meantime Fire Chief Corn
Reed was at hand to summon his
landing net

There is never a dull moment IN
a Dodger press box, though, come
what may on the field. When
l9-year-old Clyde King made his
debut against the Cubs, the wagS
suggested that "the King can do no
wrong" Four innings later when
he was laced for two tallies they
changed the chant to The King

fell in before the finish-yeah, you
guessed it. it was God Save the
