|LeagueStars Clash At Capital

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13 (NNPA) - Every position was manned by a tophight player when the Negro National and American Leagues stars clashed at Griffith Stadium in the All-Star Baseball Classic Thursday night.
 The NAL representatives include the Birmingham Black Barons, Gin cinnati Clowns, Cleveland Buckeyes, Kansas City Monarchs, Memphis Red Sox and Chicago American Giants, while the East or NNL teams are the Washington Home stead Grays, Philadelphia Stars, Newark Eagles, Baltimore Elite Giants, New York Cubans and New York Black Yankees.
 Manager Vic Harris, of the Grays, managed the East's team, while Quincy Troupe of the Buck eyes guided the destiny of the West, both having earned the right to be at the helms by virtue of winning the 1945 pennants in the two leagues.
 The NAL squad had two catchers, seven infelders, five outfelders, and six pitchers. The NNL team in- c1uded two catchers, six infelders, six outfelders, and six hurlers.
 Heading the list of players from the NAL were Pitcher Dan Bank head. zr.
 Another pitcher was Cliff John son, big Kansas City righthander.
 The NNL was not lacking in pitching strength, for Leon Day, Newark Eagles speed king, worked in the game as we'll as Pat Scantle- bury, Cuban star; and Southpaws Barney Brown of the Philly Stars and Jonas Gaines of the Elite Giants, all of whom rank in the same class as Bankhead and John son.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS
By John M. Lee

Stadium, the House That Ruth Built, but the home team has nev- CT turned out the sizzling, crack shot plays that were in evidence a few Sundays ago when four top Negro teams broke it up with ex- hibitions of thrilling proportions.
 **********#
 In "a twin bill that left the most avid baseball fan desiring nothing. the Cleveland Buckeyes opposed the Newark Eagles while the Memphis Black Sox lined up against the famed Black Yankees. It was scorching baseball played with a lively professional touch. The Stadium rocked with thrills and cheers, and you wondered as you sat and watched, why the moguls who have the say-so don't step on the gas and get some color in their 1ine-ups.
 Those of uc who have been shouting our heads off for Sugar Ray Robinson to get a deserved crack at the welterweight title are keeping our fingers crossed as the. date for his bout with Marty Servo draws closer. Ray is scheduled to exchange blows with Servo in the Yankee Stadium of the evening of September 6, and the event pro- mises to be Ia sell-out.
 ***********
 Even though Robinson is ire quently referred to as the un- crowned king of the welters it won't be official until he gets in there and makes Servo yell "uncle," or whatever it is a de- feated fighter yells when he is connected with the finishing punch.
 ***********
 While waiting for his big chance, Sugar Ray has been doing a little tuning up. The final ses- sion in his pre-championship cam paign will take place in Hawkins Stadium at Albany, New York, on 15. Ray will do battle with Winnie Vines, tough little scrapper from Schenectady. Be- cause the unexpected can happen in matter so important as this, obinson's packers are hoping hard that Vines doesn't upset the dope and polish Ray off. Evidently there isn't too much worrying be- ing done about it, because the tic kets from the main event are dis fast. As it looks now crown to put under his Christmas Robinson will have a nice, shiny tree.

RUMORS AND REPORTS
 AROIT NAMES IN SPORTS

IN 11N111o IN MI OASAeO
 New York, - Considering that there is shortage of fodder for the Joe Louis fighting machine, it would not be altogether an idle rumor to report slight possibility that the fleet footed sprinter Billy Conn will be given another crack at the title before Joe Louis signs off to join the ranks of the retired undefeated. Billy, who lost two foot races to the champ has acquired new wisdom, and should he get another shot at the diadem, he will not depend on his legs to keep him out of range.
 ***********
 Recently Conn bought himself a swift three year old racing colt that answers to the name of Honey Town. Admittedly, the boxing rules will have to undergo some changes before Billy the Kid is permitted to enter. the ring mounted on his trusty steed, but you've got to admit, that Conn astride a proud and sensitive lilly will be a swifter and more inte- resting opponent than he has been on foot. The reported price paid for the racing nag is $15, ,o00, money that Conn earned by being sure of foot. It is reasonable for him to expect that Honey Town xxrSII lo4 1aoc4 IoI7h1o 4hn since he has four legs and lot more space in which to tracel.
 ***********
 Speaking of Joe Louis, and that's what everybody seems to be doing these hot August days, he seems to have his work all laid out for him for the balance of this year at least. When he finishes his chore against Tami Mauriella next month, it is likely that he will affix his signature to a con- tract for an indoor slug-fest for Uncle Mike Jacobs. His opponent will be the winner of the Jersey Joe Walcott-Tommy Gomez battle which is sceduled to take place on August 16. If you're inclined to tilt your nose or to hold the same because of the calibre of the oppo- sition, just remember that there isn't much of selection to be made. If you have any friends | who think they can lick Louis, send in their names to Mike Ja- cobs, he'll appreciate the assis- tance.

.Grays Weekend
 With Atlanta

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Georgia's finest contribution to Negro baseball, At lanta Black Crackers, will be seen in a three game series with Home stead Grays over the weekend. The schedule opens at Forbes Field Saturday, August 17th with a twi- light game (5:30) and moves to Griffith Stadium the following day with a doubleheader.
 The Georgia outfit lost the rubber game last year in a three game series played in three different cities. The Grays won 9-6 in Nor folk, lost "A in Pittsburgh and Tucked out" in Washington, D. c. 8-7 with ''Leftie" Welmaker tossing for the Grays. Recalling that the Grays won both halves of the Negro National League schedule last year but finished fourth in the first bracket this year, haven't been able to reach any one of the top three spots since July fourth, it seems highly probable that the Crackers will "sWeep" the coming series - or at least even matters up by taking the odd game.
 Many fans have wondered why the Atlanta club is so popular. An examination of the birthplace of players taking part in the All Star Game in Washington, August 18th, the East-We Game in Chicago on August 18th, reveals that eight of the 38 came from the State of Georgia Alabama is second with seven and Florida third with four. The other IA states produced one and two each. These figures might not definitely explain the popularity of the Crackers but it provides good start in that direction.

Varella and Aston Dortch con- bine to give the Prov. Invaders just about the best pitching staff in local baseball. Both hurlers ex- hibit a fine change of pace, excel lent control, and most of all the ability to pitch tight ball for nine innings. In the earlier part of the season Varella was an ''iron man" '" pitching often without much rest.
 And Dick Harris has returned to the fold. The slugging first base man is back with the Eagles, play ing under Red Smith, the coach who helped mold Dick into the fine player that he is. Speaking of the Eagles a great deal of their suc- cess is due to the live-wire tactics of Louie Wills, manager, who is always busy promoting new ideas, obtaining new players, and in gen eral doing anything for the better ment of the club. Says Louis, "I just enjoy seeing the young local athletes get ahead.'
 Pint-sized Luke Fears of the In- vaders has been catching for some time now. Luke loves the game of baseball, has plenty of fight and hustle, and wins or loses with equal grace. A good team player and a great sport. And who would want a better outfelder than Silva?

TABER BEATS CANADIAN CHAMP

A whirlwind from Montreal sprang from his corner bent on destruction, and after throwing several wild haymakers, ran into about four lethal right hand punches of Martin Taber, clever local ring veteran, to hit the deck twice for a KO in the first round. Thus was brought to an abrupt close the Providence debut of Eddie Petrin, Canadian bantam champ. Taber who is ready for bigger things, weighed 1854; Petrin 124. BOBBY BURTON SHAPING UP
 Bobby Burton, Providence, SCOT ed a technical knockout over Billy Loughran of Fall River in 1:55 of the second round after Burton had foored his opponent for counts of eight and nine. Burton, who has a fighting heart and a good right hand, has thrice appeared on the Downtown A.C. card, and has never allowed his opponent to go further than two rounds. Under the man. agerial wings of Louis Wills and Mickey Addison, who also have Jackie King in their stable, he shows great promise.

Arujo also had the southpaw on the canvas several times, and had him bleeding freely about the face dur ing most of the bout with his vi- cious right uppercuts. Tony took most of his counts on one knee to get his wind, while Boyce dragged himself from the canvas through sheer gameness.
