Daniels Moy
 Meet Armsfronq
By JACK CUDDY United Press Stan Corresponds

New York. Sept. 9 -- (UP) - Jimmy McDaniels, body punching welterweight from Los Angeles, may get a shot at Henry Armstrong or Ray Robinson on November 3 by virtue of his fifth straight eastern victory last night - unanimous l0-round decision over Ralp Zennelli at Madison Square Garden.
 McDaniels defeated the highly touted Rhode Island Ripper with comparative ease before 7,648 fans, although California Jimmy took the lone trip to the canvas during the comparatively dull bout.
 Zannelli, swarthy Italian veteran with crew hair cut and with kan- garoo springs in his legs, clipped McDaniels with left hook to the chin that fioored him for a two- count in the eighth round. Mo- Daniels was partially off balance when hit. He rose unhurt.
 McDaniels took a similar flight to the deck in his previous Garden appearance on August IS before he stopped Young Aaron Perry of Washington in the fourth round.
 The United Press score sheet agreed with the ring officials. It gave 23-year-old McDaniels six

New York, Sept. o.-tUP)-The Sporting News-baseball's weekly bible"-may revive its annual award for the veteran of the year at the close of the current season. In case of such revival, our nomination for the honor is Fred Dixie" Walker, rght fielder of the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS and leading batsman in the major leagues,
 Tall, angular Dixie, who will cele- brate his 34th birthday on the 24th of this month, is beltlng at the amazing clip of .36l-which is ii points higher than his closest rival among all wand-wielders in both circuits, Stan Musial Of the St., Louis Cardinals.
 Dixie, playing his i7th season in organized ball and his 18th in the majors, is having the greatest cam. paign Of his long career. His bat- ting achievements in i044 would be magnificent for Q youngster ape preaching his playing prime, but for Q man in the sunset Of his career they verge on the miraculous particularly for 8 4-F'er whose fragile body has been dogged in the past by an injury jinx that res suited in a broken leg, two broken collar bones. a snapped ligament in his shoulder, a trick knee and displaced elbow socket. Knife tat tings on his right shoulder and left elbow are visible memories that finger on after his mary trips to hospitals.

Baltimore, Md, Sept, O-A 1Ts year-old pitcher, Roger Bowman, Q southpaw, kept Amsterdam, N. Y., in the first annual All-American Alna- teur Baseball tournament here yes- terday by standing the AviglianBe A. C., Waterbury, Conn. City Arna- teur league champions, on their heads, scattering eight hits and striking out ii as his mates gave him Q { to decision over Al Quin- tard, slim Bridgeport importation.
 Four errors behind the Waterbury riglft-hander aided the Amsterdam cause. A boot by Bobby Ray and another by Hank" Doneski at cru. cial moments proved very costly. Another handicap which Waterbury could not overcome was their iia- .bility to hit in the pinches, the af. termath being i2 base runners were left stranded.
 Today the Avigs will shoot the works with Sailor Teddy drabeek going to the mound in an all.out effort to remain in the tourney He will face the BendiX Aviation nine of Philadelphia at ii this morning at Peterson field. Waterbury must play and win again tonight against the winner of the New Bedford Schenectady, N. Y. game to get into the semi-flnals Sunday. The tour ney must be completed Monday night as the Baltimore Orioles o! the International league are return. Ing Tuesday.
 With one out in the first inning and Babe Stratton on second base by virtue of q single and stolen base, DoneSki took Rays throw to retire Cos Lazarou and then for some unknown reason decided to throw the ball around the infield forgetting that stratton had ad- Vanced to third. Doneski's peg, apparently intended for the sur- prised Ray, landed in left field and Stratton walked home.
 In the fifth, Bowman opened with single and advanced on Bill Tu- mans sacrifice. Bud Hammond, nephew of the late Wally Ham, mond, one -time Eastern league great, hit to Ray who threw low to Doneski and Hammond reached safely. Hammond stole second and followed Bowman home on FabozzIs single to center.
 Amsterdam broke the deadlock in the seventh. Truman reached first on DoneskI's error, but was caught off first by two feet a second later but Base Umpire Car Tier missed the play and the plate official refused to reverse his part ner's decision. Truman then tried to steal but was trapped and the eX- perienced Waterburians, with foul of them figuring in the rundown finally lost the kid when he got back to first on bad throw. Hammond and Fabozzi followed with singles and Kuczek'S long fly brought ir Human with the winning run.
 Bowfnan's wildneSs and his CT. TOT gave the Ayigs their first TUT in the second. Andy Santillo walked and Doneski beat out an infield, hit both runners advancing as Bow man threw wide of first after Do neskI had the play beaten easily The youngster got Bob Santillo Of strikes but walked Ray and Romeo forcing home Andy SantilIo.

YANKEES TAKE
 SIX STRAIGHT,
 BROWNS UPSET
By oLEN PERKINS

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, Sept = (UPJ - The American League race remail- cd as close aS Q couple of coats of paint today, but the baseball ex- perts were all but conceding the pennant to the New York Yankees for two reasons: CD They showed championship calibre yesterday in beating the Boston Red sox, 7-6 in i2 long innings and (2) they were, have been and always will be the Yankees.
 The Sox, particularly ct Boston, have been tough customers for the league leaders oil season, and yes- terdays extra inning victory marked the first they have scored in Bean- town since the opening game of the season.
 In winning the tight game yester- day, the Tanks, always hot when 0 pennant is in sight, grabbed their sixth consecutive triumph and their 10th win in their last il starts. Bos- ton extended the Champs to the limit, coming from behind to tie the score on two occasions and barely missing the third when the last out was made on c close play ct the plate. Hershel Martin and John Lindell scored in the opening half of the third extra frame but c pair of Yankee errors enabled Boston to count once. Nick Etten turned in @ fancy bit of fielding to save the day when he took Jim Bucher's grounder for an unassisted put out at first and made lightning throw to the plate to nab George Met kovich with what would have been the tying run. Milkman Jim Turner was credited with the decision and Francis Barrett was the loser.
 The St. Louis Browns fell e game behind the pace setting New York" CTS when they dropped 9-5 deci- sion to the Chicago White Sox. Bob Muncrief, who could hold the Browns pennant hopes in his right arm, made his first start in 10 days and gave up seven hits in six inning to establish Q 6.6 tie with Bill Diet- rich. The Sox, however, started to hit in the seventh and clouted Al Hollingsworth for their four run margin in the next two innings. Dietrich, with his first homer of the season, led the SoX in an extra base offenSe which included six doubles and a triple.
 Mickey Haefner pitched Ave hit ball in the only other American League game scheduled to give the Washington Senators a 4-0 shutout over the Philadelphia Athletics. Two runs in the second frame gave Haefner all the support he needed but Rookie Gil Torres doubled an- other pair across in the fourth to insure the triumph. The shutout was the third in succession suffered by the AS.
 In the days only National League game the Brooklyn Dodgers came from behind twice to beat the Phil adelphia PhillieS, 4-3. Two singles, c walk and 6, long fly brought in the marginal run in the ninth inning and gave Les Webber. who had re. lieved starter Curt Davis in tho seventh, the triumph. The Natlona League all-star victor, Lefty Ker Raffensberger, was charged with the loss.
