UP Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 30 (UP) A
whirl on the sports-go-round:
Paul (Dizzy) Trout of the Ti
gers has won only seven games
while losing eight this season.
Trout admirers are beginning to
be alarmed. They fear he will
not even come close to last year's
mark of 27 and 14. However,
they should remember that on
last June HO, Dizzy had won oiglu
and lost eight, and that in the
clutch half of the campaign he
picked up I!) wins while losing
only six contests.
I Thirty-four of them have been
I played off, leaving 53 to plague
I pitching staffs with doublcheud
I ors later. Bad weather during
the season's first six weeks caused
' most of the date delays.
The Ring magazine's latest rat
ings have elevated Negro Archio
Moore to top contender among
the light heavyweights. Thq St.
Louis veteran is in his eighth
year as a professional; but he is
going places now under Jimmy
Johnston's management. His ele
vation followed two victories (by
decision and knockout) over
Lloyd Marshall, lop contender for
the past three years.
Bobby Permane, the left-handed
jockey, was disappointed but
not disconsolate over what hap
pened in his first stake race. He
finished last in the recent Bel
mont stakes on Brookficld, a 40-1
shot. While congratulating Kd
diu Arcaro, who brought Puvot
home first, Permane said, "Any
way, Eddie, I won't have to be
worrying about income tax. And
boy, how I'd hate to have to be
paying yours."
Frank J. Shaughnossy, presi
dent of the International leapue,
believes that a new record for
postponed games in his circuit
may be set this season. A total of
117 have been postpone already.
Appointment of Ben Chapman
as manager of the Phillies indi
cates that the Brooklyn Dodger
mound is a training ground for
Phillie managerial candidates.
Kat Freddy Fitzsimmons did his
chuckin' chores with the Dodg
ers until called to Philadelphia,
shortly before assuming the man
tle of authority. Could Whitlow
Wyait be next in line? The bald
eagle of Chickamauga, Ga., shift
ed from Brooklyn to the Phils be
fore this the current season open
ed; and he's right in stride as a
Phillie flinger now, with no vic
tories and six defeats.

Synthetic rubber, according to
tests recently made, can compete
right now with natural rubber as
outer casings for automobile tires.
The tests consisted of driving
stock synthetic tires around the

miles without a blowout, or the
equivalent ol 50,000 miles of
