 Buntom KinQ In Semi-FinoI

A genuine slugging bee for the main bout, the winner of which will probably earn another crack at Irish Pat Brady, and well balanced undercard of four promising melees constitutes the Waterbury A. C.. outdoor card tonight at the Muni- cipal Stadium at 8:30.
 Steve Kronis, Boston Greek, whose real name is a tongue twister, Straits Policronis, will square off with dark skinned Jose Aponte Tor res, rugged Puerto Rican, in the headline attraction of 10 rounds or less.
 The Hub Greek who has dropped two close decisions to Brady, one by the scar1t margin of one point, is bent upon stopping Torres and signing for another pop at the up- and coming. Irishman. The Puerto Rican, on the other hand, is equal ly as confident of coming through victorious and earning another shot at Brady. He is the same lad who three weeks ago knocked Brady down for the first time in the Irish mans career, though the latter came off the canvass to cop the decision in the same ring where tonight's battle will be fought.
 Champ On Card
 Earl Roys of Bristol, who copped the bantamweight crown of New England in his home town last month, will take on a highly-touted club fighter in Jerry LaVigne of Montreal in the semi final contest of six rounds.

 Chance To Gain
 With the Dodgers idle today. the Cards have chance to go two-and- a-half games ahead in a night game against Pittsburg when Murry Dick son throws against Ken Heintelman. Bobby Feller's fond hope that 1946 would be his greatest season was wiped out at Detroit yesterday when the Tigers handed Cleveland's speed | ball king the worst beating of his major league career, 10 to 0. Cur rently fighting his worst slump, | Teller yielded nine earned runs and II hits in the three and a third in- ningS he survived before going down to his third defeat in a row and his sixth setback in his last seven starts. The proud king of the American League pitchers-whose fast ball was clocked at 986 miles per hour had his speedball knocked right back at him by the Tigers who scored nine runs in the fourth inning. They tailed eight of them off Teller on seven hits-the worst treatment the | big righthander has ever received in an single inning. Hank Green berg with three runs batted in and Dick Wakefield with three hits were the big Detroit stickmen.
 The Red Sox moved to within four games of the American League 1 pennant when Jim Bagby stranding 10 men on base, won night game at Washington, 1 to o. The Yankees remained two games ahead of De- troit and Is 1-2 behind Boston by defeating the Athletics in a day game, 6 to 2, with Randy Gumpert gaining his 10th victory.

New York, Sept. 6-(UP)-The current war of nerves waged by the Cardinals and the Dodgers found Lippy Leo Durocher - a man of iron lungs and steel nerves-su- premely confident today that his roWdy Brooklyn boys had the Ma tional League pennant sewed up from second place.
 Durocher said 1t was simple: The Cardinals will crack. Probably next week. he said. For three days, as his Dodgers won three games in the friendly East, Durocher has been waiting for the Cardinals to lose. But for three days, St. Louis has won along with Brooklyn to maintain it's two-game lead. '.
 "Give 'em time, give 'em time" " he said, clipping his words off fast. "Well be back up there. It was no great calamity when they took over, They'll come back to us"
 Confident At Home
 Actually. Durocher-who likes to play baseball as if 1t were a draw noker game-is more confident to- day returning to Brooklyn from Boston, than when he brought his patchwork gang back from the West eight days ago, two-and-a-half games behind.
 His pitchers are going the dis tance now, like Vic Lombardi-t the little stop-gap lefty-did yesterday in beating the Boston Braves on three hits, 1 to 0, to score his l2th victory of the year. The day be- fore, southpaw Joe Hatton set the Broves down on eight hits and now has been ordered to be ready to pitch every four days. The only other Dodger hurler to be given that &C.,
