DETROIT, Sept. 21.-A nose
ahead in the steaming three-way
stretch battle for the American
League flag. the Boston Red Soy
today breathed a thank-you tc
Maurice Mickey Harris, sore-arm
southpaw, for keeping them there.
Harris, 2O-year-old left-hander
who won II games helping the Bo-
sox to the 1916 pennant and ther
came down with sore arm that
stopped him with a mere five vic
tories a year ago, came off the shell
yesterday to play leading role ir
Boston's important-and necessary
-7-to-2 verdict over the Detroit
Tigers.
The win kept Boston a half game
up on Cleveland and a full game
ahead of the third-place Yanks.
1t was Mickey's first start ir
three weeks since the st. Loui!
Browns smacked him for five hit!
and as many runs in the first in
ming of an August 20 debacle ir
Boston.
But, except for flutters of wild
ness marked by nine passes, Harris
showed the Tigers more stuff thar
most of the strong arm hurlers they
face every day.
Staying through the full nine in
nings for only the sixth time in /
starts this season, Mickey yielded
only four singles, two of them IN
field hits, to reclaim his rightfu
place on Marse Joe McCarthy's fir.
ing line for the race to the wire.
And if he has any more games
like this last one in him Harris viii

willing trader with great stamina,
Is unbeaten in four American starts.
Expert opinion is divided. zale's
legs are the uncertain factor Many
think he will have to get Cerdan
early or not at all. Most agree that
it will be Cerdan If 1t goes the full IS
rounds.
In this corner, 1t looks like Zale
by a knockout in five rounds. Anton
Raadik, an unhearlded Estonian,
had Marcel on the deck three times
in the last round at Chicago and
he has been hit freely III all foui
United States starts. so far, he
hasn't been hit by Zale, who has
knocked out is Of II opponents.
| The champ is a devastating
puncher with both hands as Grazi-
ano found out last June. Rocky
toughened up his body to catch
Zale's straight rights under the
heart. Instead Tony hooked his
head of. Zale hasn't fought since
and hasn't gone Is since 1941. but
he always is in superb physical con-
dition.
Cerdan Has Stamina.
Cerdan stopped Harold Green,
despite broken thumb, and he also
knocked out Tavern Roach, a prom
ising youngster who was in over his
head. The left hook did it to Roach,
who still hit Cerdan with ease.
Since the Roach fight, Cerdan has
gone IS rounds twice with Belgian
character named Cyrille Delannoit
whose record is studded with losses.
He dropped the first to Cyrille, but
won the second, assuring a Zale
match. The blile-eyed Frenchman
usually gets stronger as the fight
goes on. .s ~.
According to Jersey custom, there
will be no judges. The referee, to
be named just before the fight, will
have the sole vote. In case Of a
knockdown, an automatic eight
count must be taken. That's an
NBA regulation.
Evening star., 1948-09-21

American observers are divided in opinion OF
Cerdan. Lou Burston, veteran fight manager and
promoter, calls the fellow the best pugilist ever
to come out of France. Others who have watched
Cerdan in his four battles in this country are
withholding judgement That fabulous record
one defeat, two disqualifcations and SO victories
impresses but doesn't sell them Wait until he's
licked somebody good" they say.
Well if he licks Zale he'll have beaten guy
several cuts above good. He'll have licked one of
the great champions of great division, fellow
who shares only with Stanley Ketchell the dis
tinction of having won the middleweight title
twice

Battered Navy Hoping to Give
Irish Interesting Afternoon

body connected is going to make it
an occasion.
A sell-out crowd of $1,000 will
jam the stands to see the game, not
because they have any doubts about
the outcome, but just because it's
Notre Dame and Navy.
Old Baltimore was damned to the
seams with Navy personnel, high
Office brass, horse players and
others-here for the Citation walk
over in the Pimlico Special today
and the football game tomorrow.
There was a lot of talk about
everything in general, but Coach
Sauer had one thing in mind.
II think our boys are going to
maintain their fine form of the
Penn game last week when they
play Notre Dame"
Navy gave undefeated Penn a
busy afternoon before bowling, 20-l4,
and while nobody around here looks
for the Sailors to unfurl the Irish,
they usually put on pretty good
afternoons entertainment.

Citation Takes Title
AS Lone Starter
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.-They're
going to crown Citation the horse
racing king today at Pimlico and it
will be one Of the few occasions
when there aren't any pretenders
to the throne hanging around.
The figurative browning will take
place after the chestnut colt makes
his lordly way around a mile and
hree-sixteenths of the track in
the Pimlico Special.
Like a true king, Citation will
walk alone. Not one of about a
score of other eligibles for the Spe-
cial cared to dispute him.
The Special, unique in American
racing conditions. calls for settle
ment of any championship ques-
tons. And Citation had whipped
virtually all possible claimants in
winning 16 out of II races this year.
Jockey Eddie Arcaro will merely
breeze Citation for the $4,000,
which will boost Citations earnings
to $830,250, second highest of all
time.
The Special is a winner take-all
proposition, worth $4,000 If more
than one horse starts. To be eligi-
BILE, a horse must win any one of
36 designated stakes throughout the
year. Then it costs nothing to en-
ter and weight handicaps are ac-
cording to age.

Baltimore Is All
Het Up Over Its
kish-Novy Tilt
BY the Associoied Press

BALTIMORE. Oct. 29.-Balti-
more got set today after advance
warning "the Irish are coming"
The hysteria generated by the
thousands Of Notre Dame alumni,
both real and adopted, is being
transferred to Baltimore from
New York since the Irish and
Army ended their football rivalry.
The Irish followers are letting
loose their steam instead on
tomorrow's game with Navy, the
only appearance of Notre Dame
in the East. And there are signs
1t will become a yearly affair.
Capt. Tom Hamilton, Navy
athletic director, said the Navy
Notre Dame game also has been
booked tentatively for Baltimore
in 1949. Final decision rests on
progress Of rebuilding the Mu-
nicipal Stadium and Notre
Danes success or failure in
scheduling any other Eastern
eleven.
Notre Dame alumni, to con-
tribute most of the $4,000 ex-
pected for tomorrow's game, will
start things popping tonight at
a pep rally. Tomorrow night
they've scheduled victory dances"
both here and in Washington.
Instead of subway alumni"
when Army was the big game,
the Irish have become train
alumni Railroads are putting
on extra cars from New York
and Washington. Baltimore
hotels have been booked solid for
months and thousands seeking
rooms were rejected.
Attesting to the "all-out" eff
fort against Navy, Notre Dame
has designated 1t as a student
trip game" A special train will
bring 700 students and the 100
piece band from Notre Dame.
The ticket scramble got so bad
that the city rushed through an
antiscalping ordinance on Mon
day. 1t was just as speedily de-
clared illegal in court yesterday

Tennessee, while beaten once and

Georgia Tech leads the big South

Georgetown Big Favorite Against Denver Tonight
Revised Hoyas
Haes|er
To Star at Full
Third Victory in Row
Sought; Pioneers Have
Keen Passing Backs

Georgetown University's football
team shoots for its third straight
victory tonight and is a 13-point
favorite to make it against Univer-
sity of Denver at Griffith Stadium.
Game time is $3.50 o'clock.
Another Hoya sophomore may get
a chance at the star role filled by
Billy Conn and Tommy Hardiman
In Georgetown's winning efforts
against Tulsa and Fordham, respec-
lively. A likely starter in the full
back slot for the first time is Dick
Haesler, 6-foot-2 19O-pounder who
carries a bit more weight and size
than does Lou Miller, So 165-pound-
er who has been operating there.
Conn has been a running stand
out in all games and against Tulsa
passed to two touchdowns. Hardi-
man took over the payoff passing
assignment last week against Ford
ham and made good with all four
of his aerials, two going for touch
downs. Fullback ordinarily isn't a
passing slot at Georgetown, but each
week the Hoyas have come up with
something new. Even If he tries
no passing, Haesler figures to aid
the Hoyas tonight because of his
additional weight for blocking and
line-plunging assignments.
Funk New Hoya Starter.
Another change in the lineup
sends out Phil Funk, a Junior and
product of Wilson High, as a start
ing tackle in company with Tom
Dolan.
Denver's Pioneers are trying to
break five-game losing string to-
night. They beat Colorado Mines
very handily in their opener. then
fell before Kansas, Oklahoma A.
and NJ, Colorado A. and M, Utah
and ST. Mary's Of California.
A revised lineup also is planned
by the Pioneers. In the starting
lineup for the first time probably
will be Johnny Parise at left half
back. He is a hard-running back
for 160-pounder, but particularly
is noted for his passing. In last
weeks game he came through very
well, hitting four of his seven tries
for 1877 yards and touchdown.
Vernon Cochran is slated for
starting quarterback duties, which
also helps the Pioneer air assault.
He also is an expert punter. Other
likely starting backs are Andy Pa
vich at fullback and Hal Pfeiffer at
right half
Denver Hopes to Use Benham.
Among other good backs available
are Halfback Jim Jordan and Bill
Fitchie. Both are small, but fast
and sport anaverage of over yards
per carry this year. Another player
on whom the Pioneers may depend
a lot tonight is Howard Benham.
