DanverS, Moss, Aug. 20.-(UP)- The thump of a punted pigskin will echo across the gridiron of St. Johns Preparatory school here Thursday when 2l candidates for the Bosom Tanks begin training for the National Professional Football league season.
 Directed by Coach Herb Kopf the squad will hold twice daily practice sessions during their three weeks of preliminary drills.
 Three newcomers expected to pro- vide the Tanks with a much needed punch this season are Pug Manders, one of the leagues hardest hitting fullbacks, Bob Masterson who for six years has been considered one of the best pro ends, and George Smith. former all-America center from the University of California.
 This trio with several other stella performers were among a group acquired when owner Ted Collins consolidated the Brooklyn Tigers with his Tanks. A new purchase expected to add power was Boris q abel Dimancheff. speedy Purdue ace halfback last fall whose touch- down gallops won him all-America hon0rs.

CHICAGO CUBS
 IMPRESS NEW YORK B.D. FANS
By CARL LIJNDQUIST

 United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 New York, Aug. 20.A(UP)-The Chicago Cubs, who couldn't be flying any higher if a sky-writer was doing their script, left Manhattan ob- servers with the impression today that they had watched the 1945 world champions in action.
 A team that is winning in the manner of the Cubs can't help but be impressive after yesterdays to 1 and 8 to 0 triumphs over the Giants. Most patrons were con- vinced that the club ranked fa- vorably with some of the better big time teams of pre-war years.
 Manager Charley Grimm, trying hard to be conservative, literally beamed confidence as he said "We're playing each game as 1t comes and we're not thinking about a pen- nant."
 Neither are we thinking too much about those 12 games we have left with the very tough Cardin- als," he said. "We'll play 'em when we get to 'em."
 When Ray Prim and Hank Borowy each went the route yesterday it brought to 62 the number of com- plete games turned in by Cub hurl- CTS, 57 of which have been victories.
 Both Close
 The Cards split at Boston, win ming the second game to on Marty Marion's double in the 18th after losing the opener to 1. His double scored two runs to counter Tommy Holmes 24th homer, in Bos- tons half. Holmes started the win- ming rally for the Braves in the first game with single, scoring after a sacrifice and another single. Bill Lee won his seventh game for the Braves while Glenn Gardner pick ed up his second for the Cards.
 The Dodgers and Pirates divided at Brooklyn. Les Webber posted a 6 to 3 Fqatbush victory, his second since returning from Montreal after which Nick Strincevich hurled Pittsburgh to a 4 to 2 triumph. Ed Stevens hit first game Brooklyn homer.
 Jimmy Foxx, one of the games great all-time hitters, made win- ming debut as starting pitcher, twirling Philadelphia to a 4 to 2 victory over the Reds after team mate Dick Mauney had pitched a 5 to 0 shutout. Foxx gave up four hits in six innings and struck out six before tiring. Anton Karl re- lieved him and protected the mar gin.
 A flve-run rally in the 11th in- ming of the second game gave the Athletics an 8 to 3 victory at De- troit and kept the league-leading Tigers from gaining in the Amer

 Philadelphia, Aug. IS. - Long George Anderman was "boss" of the second annual National audi tion baseball game here today, which pitted Connie Mack,s American All- Stars against the National All-Stars at Shibe Park, with more than 5000 fans on hand. Anderman gave but six hits in his 20 shutout of the teen-age team from twelve east- ern cities, including Waterbury, Connecticut's Johnny Reardon, whose two-base hiE was one of the few bingles of the winning pitcher. The Nutmeg State lad also perform ed well at the f1rst-base station though one error was charged against him when catcher Madden made quick throw to get 8 run- ner of base. Reardon also made strong bid for another hit in tine eighth inning and had a stolen base to his credit.
 One Enough
 The Macks scored in the third in- ming on singles by Cheering and Gruber, as a sacrifice by Anderman and 8 passed ball aided in the SCOT ing of the first run of the game. Winners got but three hits oil Jimmy Berichon of Cleveland and Gene Gould of washington, D. c.
 Players of both squads were hon. ored at dinner in the Bellvue- -Strat- ford hotel, after the game: hav- ing completed a fine week of sight seeing, baseball practice and game in big league ball park before large crowd. Score:

Another Willie Pep?

By every indication, in this writer's opinion, New Haven's Eddie Compo is the best ring prospect in Connecticut since Willie Pep of Hartford: current worlds feather weight champion, still in the Army after hitch in the Navy. Compo, also a featherweight of the Pep style and build, gave away 6 pounds to lightweight Juan Car rero of Puerto Rico, heavy punch CT who can box 8 bit and moves around at no snail's pace and then defeated Juan in close, hard fight that ''stole the show" before the Greco-Janiro go at MISC. last week. Eddie is a brother of Johnny Compo, whose stirring glove duels with Joey Tanotti are recalled by many fight fans around the state now and then. Hope Pro- moter Mulligan can show him in
 Waterbury before the outdoor sea- son is finished.

Relief Pitcher Jim Tobin's soft stuff looked good to the As in their big extra-inning rally in which there were five hits and a walk.
 The Yankees finally ended a nine- game losing streak, the longest in either Manager Joe McCarthy's or Miller Huggins' regimes. Ernie Bon- hara pitched a steady 4 to 2 vic- tory over the White Sox at Chi cago. However, they couldn't stand the pace and Orval Grove shut them out 2 to 0 on five hits, one a single by Charley Keller, who played all of the second game. It was his first appearance since he went into the Merchant Marine two years ago.
 Collapse
 Washington beat the Indians, ' to at Cleveland on seven-hitter by old John Niggeling, but col- lapsed in the seventh of the second game when the Tribes made all of its runs off Emil (Dutch) Leonard to win, to 3.
