TUCKER TOPPING
A. |. STICKMEN

CHICAGO, May 23-tRNCenteT-
fielder Thurman Tucker the last
place Chicago White Sox posted a
1875 to keep his lead in the Ameri-
can League race this week with
substantial Appoint margin over
his nearest rival, Nick Etten, New
Yankees first basema1.
Although Tucker increased his
average from last weeks leading
1868 figure, he failed il his chance
of staying in the 400 batting
ranks. Going into last Sundays
doubleheader with the Boston Red
Sox the Texan boosted 40 mark,
but he punched only two hits in
eight plate trops while the White
Sox were suffering two defeats. He
was hitless in the second game,
making the second time in 81 con-
tests he had been stopped.
Following second-place Etten and
his .348 average in statistics COM
puted through Sunday, were Bob
johnson, Boston, .344; Bobby
Doe-r, Boston, 1888; Irv Hall,
Philadelphia. .321; Gil Torres,
Washington, 319; George Myatt,
Washington, .316; Lou Boureau,
Cleveland, .314; Don Savage, New
York. .311; Dick Siebert, Philadel-
phia, 1906, and Jim Secrecy, Cleve-
land, .305.

who had notched a .357, but had
been officially credited with only

The only newcomer in the spe-
cialized section was Secrecy who
took over the home run leader

ST. Louis and Jim Tabor of Boston
were tops in runs-batted-in with

Scott Decisions Wilson
In Arena Ten-R0under
Bv BILL McILWAIN

With Big Bill Wilson throwing
every punch in the book and land
ing them every where but on Scott,
bouncing Buddy Scott hammered
out ten round decision over Will
son in the American Legion Arena
last night. Wilson simply missed
with more punches than blind
misses pitches at a ball
game. Wilson weighed 200. Scott
1874.
The first two rounds brought lit
tie action. Scott displayed clever
boxing ability by dancing away
from all of Big Bills attempts to
tag him.
In the third heat Scott dropped
Wilson to the canvass with a left,
but Wilson was up without count.
Possibly the hardest blow of the
bout came in the fourth round. In
the closing seconds of the round,
Scott sunk a crashing right into
Wilson's stomach, and Big Bill was
obviously quite shaken up. The
bell ended the canto before Scott
was able to follow up his advan-
tage.
The fifth, sixth and seventh
rounds found Betting Bill fareing
bit better. The majority of the
fighting was done at close range
with great many clinches TAX
ing place. Wilson used his sixteen
pound weight advantage well here,
and managed to land several short
rights and lefts to SCOTS head
and midriff.
Scott turned the heat back on
in the eighth to send Wilson to
the floor twice for the count OF
nine. At the very opening of the
round Scott again sunk a vicious
right into Wilson's stomach. Ap.
pearing quite groggy, Wilson was
unable to stay out of the way Of
SCOTS lightning-like left hook.
Scott shot left to his head to send
him down for the first knock down.
The second flooring came thirty
three seconds later, this time a
short right to the head doing the
damage.
Wilson rallied in the ninth to give
Buddy a bit tougher time of it.
The fighting again shifted to close
quarters, and Wilson spent much
of the round pushing Scott about
the ring.
The final heat found Scott coast
ing on to his decision and seem
ingly not over anxious to kayo Will
son. The bell ended the fracas with
both fighters exchanging light jabs
in the center of the ring.

d
NEW YORK, May % -lRHThere
seems to be some confusion as to
what constitutes a complete game
and what constitutes a suspended
game in the National league, which
last year at the prodding of prexy
Ford Frick adopted a rule differ
entiating between the two.
The question was brought up
anew by the illie-Cardinal game
n St. Louis May 16. The game
was called in he seventh to per-
nit the Pills to catch tain, and
he teams will continue the con-
vest Just where they left off the
lext time they meet. In other
words. it's just case of suspend
I'd animation.
This procedure is in keeping
With the league rule to the effect

lngs because of a law, such as a
curfew law, by blackout edicts,
such as setting a time limit so
pne of the teams can catch train
shall be regarded as unfinished
and must be completed at the next
meeting.
This does not effect the time
aonored rule that a game termi-
mated by an act of God, such as
rain, Tornado flood or fire, shall
he considered a complete game
il four and one-half or five innings,
depending on the scoring situation,
have been played.
The rule was adopted to do
away with stalling tactics, which
rapidly were approaching a point
where a contest resembled chess
game, in slow motion. We might
be wrong, but if memory serves
there was game played in Boston
a couple of years ago that was a
masterpiece of procrastination,
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1944-05-24
SPORTS TRAIL

with the team that would profit
through such snailish procedure
doing everything but start new
pitcher on slowgaited walk from
the bull pen after every pitch,
and maybe they thought OF that.
The other team, if we recall
rightly, tried to offset these tactics
by trying to get itself retired as
rapidly as possible. The result was
pretty terrible behold.
Under the rule adopted there will
be no percentage in team STALL
ing to take advantage of time
limit, as it knows that if the game
is stopped before the nine innings,
it's only stopped temporarily.
It's good rule, but it's too bad
it is necessary, as a stalling team
not only is showing poor sports
manship but is cheating the fans
who pay the freight.
Our prolific correspondent, Pfc.
Victor W. (Mack) McGinnis of
Fort Benjamin Harrison, has the
date of the next no-hit game in the
National league all doped out. It
will be June 2. He figures this
way:
April 81 Jim Tobin pitched a no
hitter for the Braves against
the Brooklyn Dodgers. May Is
Clyde Shoun pitched no-hitter
for the Reds against the Braves,
with Tobi7l the losing pitcher.
Following that pattern, the Reds
would be the next team to be held
hitless, with Shoun the losing
pitcher. There were II days be-
tween the first tWo-no-hitters, and
based on that cycle the next one
would be June 2. And who, or
whom, did the Reeds play that
day? The Braves, no less. With
Tobin pitching a second no-hitter,
no doubt.
