To Rule European Heavies
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Sept. 24.-Hein Ten
Hoff is the first German to hold
the European heavyweight cham
|pionship since Max Schmeling
captured the title in 1889.
Ten Hoff lifted the crown from
Jack Gardner of Great Britain
yesterday before a capacity crowd
|of $4,000 in Berlin's Forest Arena
Utilizing a left jab and right
cross to good advantage, the
216 pound German outclassed
the broad-shouldered Englishman,
who had held the title since last
February.
The bout went the limit of Is
rounds and the crowd roared its
approval when Referee Juan
Casanovas of Spain awarded the
decision to Ten Hoff.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The Cleve-
land Indians ruefully suspected
today they have been bunted out
of the bunting.
Seldom has the squeeze play
been used with such devastating
effect as against the Indians in
the American League stretch drive.
They have lost four recent crucial
games because of opponents
bunts.
In two of the three losses in
flicted by the Tigers in their dis
aStrous Detroit series last week
end, the bunt led to the Indians
downfall.
A further factor was the rela-
tive ineffectiveness Of three of the
Indians four top hurlers-Bob
Feller, Bob Lemon. Mike Garcia
and Early Wynn. F'eller. Lemon
and Garcia-winners Of So games
among them-were shelled from

On paper Maryland appears to
have a slight edge, but Carl

very much is VMI, coached by the
capable Tom Nugent. This team
will surprise a lot of people.
Among the independents, Miami
and Virginia are stars of the first

have the all-around potential to be
bowl contenders come the end of
this season. Miami is definitely
becoming one of the Nations best,
and rightly so. The city of Miami

Roe and Raschi supplying the
necessary lifts.
Raschi, with his eight-hitter
against Boston, became 20-game
winner for the third straight sea-
son. He was the fifth American
League pitcher and the 18th in
the majors to win 20 games this
year.
Timely Hit by Mize.
A pinch single by Johnny Mize
in the seventh inning drove in
the run that broke a IL tie and
paved the way for the Yankees
three-run inning. Mize also dou-
bled in the two-run eighth as
Chuck Stobbs went down to his
eighth defeat. Raschi helped his
cause with two runs batted in on
a sacrifice bunt and a double. 1t
was enly the second New York
win in IL tries at Boston.
Virgil Trucks climaxed a lost
week end for Cleveland, pitching
the Tigers to their third straight
win over the faltering Indians.

Roy Campanella aided Roe with
a perfect four for four, including

Dodgers a lead they never relin-
quished.
Maglie Also Wins 22d.

Marrero Misses 18th
Win 9Th Time as As
Rouf Mats Twice

Chico Marrero, who pitches the
year around, is demonstrating it
can't be done with any degree of
success. The Mats stubby Cuban
highlander, thwarted eight times
in a bid for his 18th win. has
failed miserably in his last three
starts and poses problem for his
bosses.
The natural solution would seem
to be an order forbidding Marrero
to pitch in the Cuban Winter
League, thus preserving his Al
year-old arm for the Mats ex-
clusively. That would be all right
with Chico providing the financial
arrangements were agreeable, but
in that respect Clark Griffith is
stymied.
The money Marrero makes
pitching for the Mats is subject
to 80 per cent tax. The money he
makes pitching in Cuba is taxed
a trif1ing / per cent, so Chico isn't
prepared to abandon the Winter
League.
Marrero was cuffed around
again yesterday in Philadelphia al

for five runs in the first four in
nings of the second game, in
which Irv Noren belted his sew

Eddie Yost crashed his 18th
home run of the year in the first
game. Yost now has hit at least
one home run in every American
League park this season.

CHURCH YOUTH ANSWER
PLEA OF SERVICEMAN In KOREA
Chuck Harris Makes Plea to the Rev. W. Beckwith fOl
Clothing for the Shivering Children Of Korea

One of the outstanding gestures
of goodwill during the Christmas
season in Smyrna was the generous
outpouring of response to the plea
made for clothing for the homeless
in Korea. The hearts of many at
Asbury Methodist Church will be
warmer at the thought that they
have had part in relieving the
suffering in the war-torn land. Fol
lowing the reading of letter from
"Chuck" Harris in the Sunday
School at Asbury Church recently
the youth of the church were in
spired to work at the gathering
and mailing of 81 pounds of cloth
ing, under the direction of Mrs.
Fred Harris, ST., mother of the
young soldier. The letter, sent
from Seoul City Air Base, Korea to
the Rev. Walter L. Beckwith, pas
tor, expresses so eloquently the
need that it is copied in part so
that all may read; and follows:
Dear Sir: 1 went to chapel this
morning and 1 feel that it is worth
telling you about. The service was
held in a cold, unneated building
approximately the size of a quonset
hut. The pews were small tin
stools and the altar was set up on
an old billiard table. There were
no collection plates, the offering
being taken by hand. In spite of
such conditions, it was the House
of God, and His presence was felt.
If some of the people back home
could have seen it, or even knew
about it, perhaps they would ap-
preciate more fully their grand,
warm churches. The chaplain
dwelt mainly on purity and the i'm
portance of a clear conscience. At'
the end of the service the chaplain
made a request and am going to
pass it on to you as I know you
will be interested and can perhaps
do a world of good, if you have
time. He asked us to write home
and ask our families and friends to
send any type of children's clothing
which is of no more value to them.
Clothing that American parents
would be ashamed to have their
children wear would make these
Korean boys and girls feel like
kings. 1 know that this is a very
worthwhile cause for I have watch
ed them go by on the roads, SILVER
ing in their scant dress. If you
feel that you can help on this mat
ter, have the clothing sent to my
address and 1 will turn it over to
my chaplain. I am sure that any
