Braves, Red Sox
 To Drow 25,OOO
By JOSEPH NOLAN

Limited Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Boston, July 10.-(UP)-"The Bat" and 'The Arm" meet for the first time today when Tommy Holmes of the Braves steps up to the plate against Dave Ferriss Of the Red Sox in charity tilt at Fenway Park that is expected to at- tract upwards of 25,000 fans.
 Ferriss whose right arm has baf- fled American league rivals IA out of Is times this season, was slated to make his debut as a southpaw, at least in one of the three innings he was to hurl. On the Sox recent western trip, he warmed up left handed frequently and Manager Joe Cronin claims he's almost as good a portsider as he is a righthander.
 The game which is being played for the Greater Boston United War Fund will have no effect on Fer riss, sensational won-lost record of .S75, nor will 1t hurt Holmes sparkling .401 batting mark. And failure to connect safely will not break the latter's amazing consecu- tive game hitting streak which now stands at 37. However, the first meeting of the two stars should go far in settling the question of whether the bat-mighty Brave is just as mighty against the pitch potent Bosox.
 Cooper Out
 Ferriss will be opposed on the hill by Al Javery who was substi- tuted by the Braves when Big Mort Cooper left the club for arm treat ment in St. Louis. Later in the encounter, the Braves are expected to call on Jim Tobin whose fond- est ambition is to strike out his kid" brother, Jack, third baseman of the Sox.
 The game will also mark the Boston bow of first sacker Dolph Camilli of the Sox who joined the team immediately prior to the west ern invasion. The veteran Lou Fin ney, still on the Red Sox inactive list. may break into the batting order.
 On hand to aid the war fund will be baseball commission Albert (Happy) Chandler and several for mer Boston diamond greats includ- ing Duffy Lewis, Pat Donovan. Jack Slattery, Fled Parent, Jack Barry, Fred Penney, Hugh Duffy, Bill Car rigan and others Al Schacht, the "CloWn Prince" If baseball. will er1. certain before the game.
 The Braves, in sixth place in the National league seven full games behind the Cubs, open series with the pace-setters Thursday in Chi- cago. The Red Sox, who are cur- rently lodged in the junior loops fifth position. Ibegin a long home stay by entertaining the front-run- ming Detroit Tigers.

Promoter George Mulligan will give another Waterbury boy 6 chance to get on the 'big time" when Charley Eagle fights Tami Mauriello of New York at Municipal Stadium next Monday night, July 16. Three weeks ago, Mulligan staged the Benny Singleton Jhonny Greco bout with Singleton having the opportunity of lifetime, and making a great try; as he was lead- ing on points against Greco going into the eighth round on the score card of Referee Louis (Kid) Kaplan; but Benny tired and lost the fight in the last two rounds.

Mauriello claims he will score the first KO against Eagles record which goes back 12 years and covers more than 200 bouts; including action against such heavy punchers as Nathan Mann, Buddy Walker, Lou Nova, and Bob Pastor and the Waterbury boy was always there" at the finish win or lose.

SHUTE SHOCKS GOLF WORLD
 AT DAYTON
BY WALTER BEERS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Dayton, O., July 10-(UP)-Dap- per Denny Shute of Akron, O., striv- ing to keep alive one of golfdom' s grittiest comebacks, goes out for a new record today as the big push gets under way in the final qualify ing round of the P. G. A. National tournament.
 Shute, leading the field, couldn't t have picked tougher time. For 140 of Americas best pros are shooting against him in an effort to gain one of the 31 qualifying places open in the finals of this most celebrated of big league tournaments.
 Forgotten except for memories of his 1886 and 1887 P. c. A. champion ships and his 1893 victory in the British open, Shute exploded out of nowhere yesterday when he blazed a five-under-par @ over the Moraine country club course to take a one stroke lead going into the last 18 holes of the 36-hole qualifying play.
 Today he tries for a new P. c. A. qualifying record, needing 68 to beat the present mark of 136 strokes set by Fred Morrison in 1929 and tied by Frank Moore in 1888.
 Close Up
 Hot on his heels, tied with 68's, were S-Sgt. Jim Turnesa, runner up in the 1942 P. G. A. to Sammy Snead; Herman Barron, duration western open champ from White Plains, N. Y, Sgt. E. J. Dutch Har- rison of Wright Field, Dayton, who holds the Maraine course record of GA and Johnny Revolta of Evanston, also making comeback in this big one after winning the 1885 P. G. A. title.
 At 69 were Verl Stinchcomb, un- known Portsmouth, O., pro and Hank Schneiter, smooth-swinging Colorado Springs, Colo, veteran.
 Byron Nelson and his gold dust twin, Harold (Jug) McSpaden, were slightly off the pace with two un- der par 70s and tied for eighth place with Sam Byrd of Detroit and Jim- my Hines, the former Ryder cup star from Chicago.
 Thirty of the big field shot TBS or better yesterday, which means that it will take about 146 score to qualify.
 The 31 low qualifiers join defend- ing champion Bob Hamilton, Ft. Lewis, Wash, private, in the tour nament proper Wednesday compos- ed of 36-hole match play daily through Sunday.

Montgomery Gets Disputed Nod

Philadelphia, July 10. (UP)- Lightweight Champion Cpl. Bob Montgomery, winner over Nick Moran in 8 non-title bout, was a loser in prestige today before his home town fans, who- booed the split verdict that gave him the decision in 10-round bout at Shibe Park last night.
 The supposedly partisan Mont gomery crowd didn't like it when Referee Charley Daggert cast the deciding vote giving him the deci- sion after the ring judges, Harry Lasky an Lou Costello, disagreed. The announcement of the decision brought worth shower of cushions and debris into the ring.
 Montgomery gained credit for points scored during infighting at a time when Moran appeared to be the aggressor. At the finish Moran was suffering from cut above his left eye.
 Montgomery weighed 135 1-2, Moran 140 1-2.

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, July 10-CUP)-Per- sistent rumors along 49th street suggest that Sgt. Joe Louis soon will receive his honorale discharge from the army.
 The heavyweight champion, now 31, has been in service three and a half years.
 In connection with these rumors, we met a chap last night in front of the Forrest hotel-where the great men of tin-ear terrace con- gregate on the sidewalk to punch the bag. Using the side-mouth de- livery, he whispered, "come away from desc bums-into the bar; I got somethin' hot to tell yuh."
 His best special was a repetition of the Louis rumor, with flourishes, He said:
 T got it straight from the right party. Louis gets his discharge iii about month-maybe in time for an outdoor fight in September. No, I don't know nothin' about his points. With Louis, it ain't ques- tion of points. got it straight that the War Department figures Joe's job is done-Y'know wot I mean helpin' the morals of the fightin' men. Can't use him much in the Pacific, cause that's different kind of war.
 An the War Department knows that nearly every man in service wants to see Louis get out and defend his title before he's so old that the first civilian heavy he meets will belt his brains out. He's one of the most popular guys in service-done everything he could to entertain the boys, wherever the army sent him, and never was the least bit uppity. They like him a lot, cause he's been a credit to the army; an they know he's broke -an' gettin' old for a fighter"
 What about Sgt. Billy Conn., we asked.
 T ain't been able to find out nothin' about Conn.," our inform ant replied, visibly crestfallen at being forced into such an admis- sion.
 If champion Joe did get out of the army in time for September title defense, who would be the challenger?
 That was easy for our fountain of information. He answered im- mediately: Joe Baksi or Tami .Mauriello."
 But are they ready yet to meet the Great Louis?
 Tt ain't question of them bein' ready" he explained, digging an emphatic forefirr2er into our ribs. Its a question of whether Louis Is ready for them. Joe,s up at Camp Nshanks now. He weighs
