With the announcement today
that the rubberband duckpin associ-
aSons of. Pittsburgh and Western
Pennsylvania have affiliated with
the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress, hardwood duckpin bowlers
along the Atlantic Coast hailed an
other achievement for Arville L.

congress in his efforts to expand the
territory of the NDBC.

officers of the Western Pennsylvania
Bowling Alley Operators Association
voted to join the NDBC and as a
starter 240 teams were pledged with
the prospects that between 400 and
600 teams and some 40 bowling
establishments would be sanctioned
at an early date.
The rubberband group will be
governed by the constitution and
bylaws of the NDBC with the one
exception of playing rules. Bowling
alley measurements will be the
standard NDBC specifications.
This will mean not only that or
ganized duckpin bowling will bs
recognized in Pittsburgh and West
ern Pennsylvania but also in the
surrounding area of Eastern Ohio,
West Virginia. Central Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del,
where the rubberband game has
been in vogue for years.

three new national AAU mems
champions will be crowned tonight
as the 1945 swimming and diving
meet officially starts under the lights
at the Cuyahoga Falls municipal
swimming pool.
A new champion was assured in
the 1,500 meters free style from
which Keo Nakama, Ohio States
Hawaiian star, withdrew. Nakama,
who set a national record of 1926
for the event last year, elected to
drop out of the metric mile and
compete in the 200-meter free style
to aid Ohio States team champion
ship hopes.
Absentees in Service.
Mike Peppe, Ohio State coach,
said they figured Nakama could be
of more help to the team by SWIM
ming the shorter distance.
That 200-meter free style, also
to be contested tonight. was an
other event in which there will be
a new champion. Jerry Kerschner,
a former Ohio Slater, who won
the title last year, now is in the
Navy. He was unable to show up
for the meet.

Cameo on the Ellipse. It's one OF
those sandlot baseball oddities that
should have the fans arguing for

The game was called during the

seven stanza when Cameo led, ga
Onicially. it was ruled that Cameo
had won the game to take undis-

1t happened, however, that Bu-
sanda went on a slugging spree in
that uncompleted eighth to score
eight runs to make the unofficial
count Busanda, II; Cameo, 6. The
Navy players think the game should
be completed, and it is up to Flester
to make a decision today.

Controlling Interest
TO Vice President
Ey the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1o.-Donald
Barnes, president of the st. Louis
American League baseball club, an
nounced today sale of his controlling
interest in the Browns to Richard
c. .Muckerman, vice president.
Muckerman, also vice president of
an ice and fuel company and bank
director, said he contemplated no
changes whatever in the clubs
management, that Luke Sewell
would continue to handle the team
and that General Manager William
Dewitt would remain in his capacity
at the head of the business Office.
Il have told Dewitt just to keep
me informed as to what he is
doing" Muckerman asserted, but
that his judgment is mine so far as
running the ball club is concerned =
Sewell's contract, which was for
two years, expires September 80 and
Muckerman said a new one would
be offered before that date.
Il can't make it too strong that
I think Sewell has done an excellent
job and I plan to continue him in
his position" the new president
asserted.
Acquisition of Barnes holdings
gives Muckerman Sc per cent of the
clubs stock, Barnes said, without
announcing the amount involved in
the transaction.
Barnes had been president of the
club since 1886, when he formed a
syndicate and purchased control
ling interest from the Philip de
Catesby Ball estate for $350,000.
At that time the club had no farm
system whatever. Now, &c has con-
troll Of at least three minor league
teams and working agreements with
others, an important factor in the
Browns winning their first Amer

The announcement said that the
new president also acquired Barnes
interest in the Toledo Club of the
American Association, San Antonio
of the Texas League, Springfield,
Ill, of the Three-Eye League, and
Youngstown of the Ohio State

was waived out of the National

While the other National League
clubs turned up their noses on Tobe
at a $500 ticket, the Boston Braves
waived him out of the league and
into the American where the Tigers
were eager customers, at an unan-
nounced price.
Although Tobin's current record
of 9 won and IA lost is far below
his 1914 standard when he cap
tured the Nations imagination with
a pair of no-hit games, the capable
right -hander should be terrific lift

Only Ring Conquerors
OF Robinson Clash
In Garden Bout
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Tne only
two men to mar Ray Sugar" Robin
sons fight record-Jake La Motta
and Jose Basora-tangle tonight In
10-rounder at Madison Square
Garden.
La Motta, a 160-pounder from
the Bronx, outpointed Robinson at
Detroit some time ago and became
famous as the only glove singer to
whip Sugar. Basora, Puerto Rican
from San Juan, gained a 10-round
draw with Robinson at Philadelphia
back in May, feat that Immediate
ly gained him his first Garden
main 60.
The Broadway betting fraternity
has installed Jake a 9-to-5 favorite
and, although he won't come right
out and say so. Robinson intimates
he likes Jake, too, because he thinks
the sturdy Bronx boy is the harder
puncher.
1t is the fourth meeting between
Jake and the Senior from San Juan.
Back in 1912, before they hit the
bigtime. they fought twice at the
Bronx Coliseum, with Jose gaining
a decision and a darw. A year later
La Motta outpointed Basora at De-
troit.
Being the underdog is nothing new
to Basora. He disregards the odds.
He entered the ring a 7-to-1 shot
against Robinson and although the
Official verdict was a draw, many
thought he won. He has trained
hard for this scrap, knowing that a
victory will give him another crack
at the elusive Sugar. He is un-
defeated in a year, and La Motta
has won his last five in q row.
A crowd of some $4,000 Is expected
to pay around $4,000 to see the
scrap.
