Hero Suffers, Then Beats
Villain at Turner'S

The favorite drama for wres-
tling fans is when the hero is
bounced around most of the eve
ming by the villain until he
finally tires of the underhanded
tactics being used against him
and uses them himself to emerge
victorious. The customers love it.
A Turner's Arena crowd of
1,5O0 was treated to such a script
last night in the main event be-
tween Antonino Rocca and the
Zebra Kid. Rocca was the long
suffering favorite who was
messed up and knocked around
for Is minutes. Finally he gave
up trying to be nice guy, picked
up the Zebra Kid and did some
slugging of his own to win the
match. Everybody went home
happy.
In other matches, Kenan
Yildiz won over Guy Burnett by
disqualification, Mike Paidousis
defeated the Mighty Ursus.
Omer Dikman won over the
Canadian Angel. and Joe Tan
garo and Ilais Panagos provided
this weeks draw.

Redskins Sign Papit;
May Play FuIIback

Johnny Papit, former Virginia
halfbAck. who signed yesterday
for his third season with the
Redskins. may try to make the
grade as a fullback this season,
club officials indicated today.
They got the word from Back
field Coach Bill Dudley, who
played with Johnny a couple Of
months ago in Virginia's alumni
varsity game.
Dudley told George Marshall,
president of the Redskins, he
thinks Johnny should come into
his own as a pro next fall. Papit
had bad legs in 1851, his rookie
year. Last season his back was
injured in an exhibition game
against Green Bay and he spent
most Of the year on the bench.
He played the last two games
and looked good.
Papit, a normal 195-pounder,
is back to that figure after be-
ing underWeight last season. He
came up to pro ranks as a left
halfback, but was moved to right
halfback last year. At that posi-
ton he would have to battle Julie
Rykovich, Hall Haynes, return
ing from two years of military
duty, and Harry Dowda for an
offensive job.
Marshall and several members
of the Redskins squad will be
guests of the Jewish Community
Center Thursday night for the
annual presentation of athletic
awards. Players Joe TereshinSki,
Ed Berrang, Paul LipScomb and
Laurie Niemi, and End Coach
Wayne Millner will attend.

Cobb BIomes Lopsided Scores
As One Trouble With Baseball

plays and stolen bases. The art
of sliding, he says, is deteriorat-
ing.
To point up his argument in
behalf of stolen bases. Cobb re-
ferred to the records. Last year
Brooklyn topped the National
League with a team total of 90.
The White Sox led the American
League with 81.
I'm 1910, Eddie Collins of the
Athletics alone stole 81 bases
and two years later Clyde Milan
of Washington led the league
with 49," Cobb said. The great
star of yesteryear made no men,
ton of his own feat of stealing
96 bases in 1915.

By the Associoted Pres,

MENLO PARK. Calf, June 2.
What, if anything lis wrong
with baseball today?
The question was posed to
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, one of the
greatest of them all.
The old Georgia Peach, now
sc, is IS years removed from the
sport in which he set so many
records, but he is still in touch
with the times.
There seems to be something
wrong with baseball" he said.
There has been a lot of bad
weather this year which natu-
rally has affected attendance.
However, I believe there are
some other reasons. blame the
lively ball and it's greatly in
creased offspring, the home run.
There are too many lopsided
scores and not enough one-run
last inning finishes.
NItCS 4O-H SIduSnter.
"Only recently Brooklyn and
Philadelphia played a 1872 game
that took 3 hours. 20 minutes
In May, 1920, Brooklyn and Bos-
ton went rs innings to IL tie
called on account of darkness.
The game took 3 hours, so min
utes and Joe Oeschger and Leon
Cadore pitched all the way.
Il think most fans would have
preferred the IL marathon to
the 1872 slaughter"
Cobb contends baseball could
be played more scientifically. He
also looks for return to more
inside stuff"
How can this be accomplished?
Deaden the ball? Ty did not
suggest this but it appears the
most likely solution.
The famed old Detroit star
firmly believes there is too much
player regimentation.
THE managerial system of to-
day has destroyed a lot of initia-
tive of the players" he said
A man with a bat in his hands
should have more freedom in
trying to hit the ball.
Ask any player today. Hell
tell you it is confusing to be con-
trolled so tightly from the
coaching line or the bench. The
managers tell the player what tc
hit. Some of those balls come
over big as a balloon but the
hitter can't take advantage OF
it. How about betting some OF
those cripples?"
Wants More Base Stealing.
Cobb thinks present-day base
ball is too standardized. He
would like to see more squeeze
