Hursey Lacks His Former Zip,
Is Dull in Draw With Kupi|ow

Success may have taken some of
the zip and fire from Smuggy
Hursey. Less than a year ago, when
he was hungry and practically
unknown boy fighting for recog-
milton, he would wade in and throw
leather from bell to bell. He's in
the money now and the idol of a
large section of Washington's fight
fans, but last night he wasn't the
same ball of fire-he himself ad-
mitted he was slower-while working
to a draw against a fighter he
stopped in less than one round q
month ago.
He was up against a fancy boxer
and counterpuncher in Danny
Kapilow of New York and Danny
made no mistakes. But neither did
Danny make many offensive moves.
He kept Smuggy away with a left
jab, or danced backward and
counterpunched against Smuggy's
shuttle. Neither" did much damage
and the draw verdict was well re-
ceived by the crowd of 13,745 at
Griffith Stadium. The Stars score
sheet had four rounds for each and
two even, with Hursey ahead on
points. 94-92. Referee Charley Rey-

Mastery Over Cards,
Turn Heat on Buns
By Joe Reiehler
Assoeioted Press Sports Writer

If you can predict when the
currently clawless Chicago Cubs will
occupy the role of victims or vii
lalns, you might be able to get an
idea of which team will win the
National League pennant.
Charley Grimm's second division
Cubs, going nowhere themselves,
nevertheless have played an i'm
portant part in the fortunes of the
two top contenders, the front-runz
ming Brooklyn Dodgers and run
nerup st. Louis Cardinals.
1t was the Cubs early season
ineptness against Brooklyn that was
largely responsible for the Dodgers
lofty position. In their Is clashes,
the Brooks emerged the victors Is
times. At the same time, it was
the Bruins early season mastery
over the Cards that had hand
in keeping the Redbirds buried in
the league cellar for nearly two
months. In their first 10 clashes,
the Cubs came out on top seven
times.
On August 1. the Dodgers, flying
high on the wings of a 10-game
lead over the Cards, rode into Chi
cago expecting to fatten their lead
still more at the expense of the
Cubs. But the Bruins knocked off
the Brooks three times in a row
to send the Dodgers into a tall
spin which saw them drop seven
Of their next 10 games.
! Cards Break Cubs Spell.
But when st. Louis-the same
Cards who had fallen seven times
in 10 tussles with them-showed up,
the Cubs just as suddenly lost their
bite and succumbed meekly three
straight times. the latest being last
night, when they bowed, 81, to the
southpaw slants of Harry (the Cat
Brecheen.
Brecheen's victory, his fourth over
the Cubs this season and his 18th
in % lifetime decisions against them,
enabled the Redbirds to reduce the
idle Dodgers lead to three games.
Brooklyn's margin over the Cubs
now is 1875, while the Cards have
an Ill edge over Chicago.
Bucky Walters, Cincinnati right
handler, twirled a neat eightShit S-3
victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates,
his sixth of the season and 1S6th
of his big league career, to send
the Reds past the Cubs into fifth
place.
Dave Koslo of the New York
Giants hapdcuffed the Phillies, 80,
on five hits in night game in
Philadelphia to register mis- 14th VIC
tory against seven defeats. The
win left the Giants six games of
the pace.
Rookie Beats Newsom Again.
Rookie Bill McCahan of the Phila-
delphia Athletics made it two in a
row over the American League
leading New York Yankees and
Bobo Newsom, limiting the Bronx
Bombers to seven hits including a
triple by Joe Di Maggie. who re-
turned to the Yankee lineup after
weeks layof due to ripped. muscle
between the shoulder and neck.
Virgil Trucks limited the Cleve-
land Indians to nine hits as the
Detroit Tigers, with only six safe
ties, won, 81, in Cleveland.
Rudy York hit homer in each
game to raise his seasons total to
Is as the Chicago White Sox and
St. Louis Browns divided a double
header in Chicago. The Sox, helped
by York's first homer, won the
