This Sporting World
No Amateur
 World Series?
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Though they have not as yet giV- en up hopes of arranging Q thres- game amateur baseball world ser- les" the .Aartin Bombers of Middle River, Maryland are now in posi- ton to deal directly with the winner, since the 2-l victory of the Akron Ohio Orphans in the finals of the NABF tournament ct Youngstown, Ohio Monday. Tn view of the fact that the Martins, winners of the recently concluded i946 All-Ameri- can Amateur Association meet and also the team which eliminated Wa terbury'S champion Tribune A. O. club at Harrisburg, Pa,, earlier this month, the fact remains that the Bombers as well aS the Waterbury clubs were members of the NABF, but broke away from It because of general handling of the tournament In Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washing. ton, Dayton, and finally Youngs- town, Ohio where the NABF meet has been held for the past three or four years.
 The newly organized AAA1A was the result, backed by Glenn L. Martin, which had It's first tour. nament in Baltimore . year ago, and its second ct Harrisburg. Therefore, the executives of the two groups are not exactly on friendly term sto begin with, SO that the suggestion by MT, Martin of c three-game world series b.. tween the Martin BomberS and the NABF winner, met with noth. ing more than undignlfied silence. A year ago, the same Idea was hroaehed but nothing happened. However, there Is nothing to stop the two national champions from Baltimore and Akron getting to- gether, it would seem, unless the NABT group steps In with Q sus- pension threat to AkronS mem" bership, If it tangles with the Martins, who went through the
 io4b AAABA tourney in the Pennsylvania capitol city unde. feRted.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. l9.-1n a movie trade paper Is Q letter from Barron Polan, an ex- Hollywood agent now in the Philippines, After lamenting the dearth of fiesh-and- blood entertainment In that area, he concludes: Any Hollywood actress could get million dollars worth of publicity by appearing in Ma- nllla."
 That's 0 taetleSs remark, for Hol- iyWood entertainers don't like to ad- mt that they make their overseas tours With an eye for publicity. But It's also e true remark. Those stars who have, gone overseas to enter. tain American G1,'S have reaped e harvest of ballyhoo SO valuable that no one can estimate its mon- etafy value.
 Many of them were virtually un. known when war was declared In all probability, had they been forced to relic entirely on their legitimate achievements in show business, most of them would still be obscure. But their war work has boomed their stock so amazingly that they are actually better known today than many long-eStNblished stars. This Is bound to pay them dividends dur Ing the next few years.
 In c much less favorable position are the stars who have had ample opportunity to do their bit for troof entertainment but did nothing, Il they were to hire e dozen high pow cred press agents, they still would bC unable to offset the bad publicity that has resulted from their inertia

 United Press Stan CorrespOneentl New York, Sept, ie--(UP)--Vern Stephens, husky and handsome shortstop of tho St, Louis Browns, is confident that Detroit will win the American League pennant; also that the Tigers will beat ChicagoS Cubs In the world series after Q hard fight.
 Stephens of the light brown hair and dark brown gabardine suit talked Of the Tigers as he lounged in an easy chair while the wind sprayed rain against the windows of his hotel New Yorker room.
 The current home run king of, the American League said, Detroit should beat out Washington for the pennant without too much trouble not only because of the mathemati- cal advantage the Tigers hold, but also because they are the better club, They have superior pitching, power and fielding.
 Wind Helps
 washington is c tough outfit to beat on It's home grounds, particu- larly if It's knuckle.ball tossers get the right kind of wind to help them. But the Senators don't do so well away from home, and their pitchers aren't SO hot without e helping wind. Besides, the club lacks power -hasn't anyone to hit the ball out of the park. They have only five games left to play, and oil five will be away from honne-at New York and Philadelphia. Anything can happen in baseball; but it's my per- sonal opinion that the Tigers are in."
 Concerning the Cubs, Stephens said he knew several players on the Chicago team, and he had been fol- lowing the clubs progress closely In his opinion, Charley Grimrn's lads have good pitching and fair power ;but they lack the Tigers allsaround strength. "The Cubs are strong enough to give the Tigers q good fight" he said, But not strong enough to win the series, particularly If both Eddie Mayo and Hank oreenherg are able to get in- to the lineup"
 Ignored Cards
 He made no mention of the Card inalS possibilities of beating out the Cubs for the pennant, apparently treating with contempt the club that had beaten his Brownies in the last world series.
 The reported asked him what had happened thls season to the flag. defending Browns. Why were they in third place, eight games behind the leading Tigers?
 Stephens explained. i've still had Q good chance to repeat for the pennant until we went to Washing ton about September Bth. Then we flopped into a tailspin, with nobody hitting on the club except Lou Fins ney. it was one of those slumpS ti1at can happen to any club at any time, Ht happened nt the wrong time for us. It was 6 tough break"

Research at the university
farm has shown that cows dis
play self-conscious tendencies
akin to those of human beings,
DR.. Peterson said. Two of these
traits, common to nearly all ami
mails. he adds. are the desire to
acquire ones wants and the de.
sire to rule over others.
Cows are extremely respons-
i've to their handlers, the profess
sor said. Scrawny, unattractive
cows are aware of the farmers
distaste, he said, and milk pro-
duction suffers. There also may
be slackened production if the
cattle become annoyed at their
handlers. On the other hand. il
a cow likes the mixer, she will
give a larger supply and will
seldom cause trouble.
DR.. Peterson cited one cow in
the university herd. Her best
production until recently was A.,
342 pounds in any one lactation
period. Then she was put under
a new man; her production rose
to 6,OO3 pounds in the first 2lO
days of the lactation time.
DR.. Peterson also pointed out
that COWS may become so accus-
toned to one handler that they
dry up when given to another.
Cattle shy away from veterin-
arians and research men, the
professor explained, because
they associate pain with thNe
men.
AS further illustration OF, their
likeness to human being, Peter
son said that submissive cows
fail to defend themselves and
will take humping and roughing
Of other cattle. Outlaw cattle,
he said, don't accept orders and
usually must be dehorned to
prevent injury.
