Today's Sport Parade
By JACK CUDDY
NEW YORK, July 6 (UP) A
bunch of the journalistic boys
were whooping it up in a well
known pub, when out of the
night walked Lou Nova, screw
ball of the prizefight business.
The sports writers fastened
themselves on Nova's large frame
attacking from all angles. How
come Lou got knocked out in tho
filst round in his latest bout with
Tumi Mauriello at Boston? Why
doesn't he quit before he becames
completely "punchy," etc.?
White House?
Nova said, "just a minute boys,
I am working toward an objec
tive. In the old days my mother
told me that I would become
president of the United States.
1 am gradually vorking toward
that objective. And when I be
come president, I'll be glad to
meet you boys in the south room
of the White House. Yes I'm
going in for politics when I quit
fighting."
But when was Nova going to
quit fighting, the newsmen want
ed to know. One of them said,
"If you keep on meeting those
tough young kids your brains will
be so scrambled you won't even
be able to hear the bell when it
ends a round."
Can't Sleep
Nova grinned und thrust out
his chest and flung back, "I'm
glad you mentioned that bell. I'd
like to have all of you boys come
up to my hotel room with me
tonight and listen while 1 try to
sleep. Somewhere in that hotel,
bells keep ringing all night long.
I'd move out of the hotel, because
of those tells, if I could g?l a
100m someplace else but it's
hard to get a hotel room in New
York."
So you won't retire? a sports
writer demanded.
"Why should I retire?" the big
Californian flung back. I'm in
perfect physical and mental con
dilion. I have 20 or 23 bouts on
my come-back campaign.
"I have grossed &.). i.OIIO on the
campaign. Afller I lick Louis,
I'll retire and become an actor
for a fow years then a sports
writer and radio commentator
paving the way for my entrance
into politics and my rise to the
presidency. But I wish those so-

snd-so's would quit ringing those
bells in my hotel while I'm try
ing to sleep. Why don't you boys
come up to my room and listen
to those d -A bells?"
A veteran boxing writer said,
"This guy is punchy like a fox.
If he went up to his room, we'd
hear those bells too. Didn't he
sell us the cosmic punch, the
dynamic stance, etc. Take me
away from this guy, or I per
sonally will be running for
president in the next election."

Flag Races in Both
Loops 'Complicated-
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, July 6 (UP)
A fascinating lack of logic in the
major league pennant races is
threatening to complicate them
hopeJessly. There have been
plenty of "anything can happen"
situations, but right now the
lack of consistency is at a high
for the season with not 'even
the top teams playing according
to form.
For example:
The Cardinals, playing rod-hot
baseball, dropped three in a row
at Boston. Then the up-and-down
Cubs moved in and beat
the Braves four straight.
Reds Lose
The Reds lost two out of three
to thei terrible Phillies, them
moved on to Brooklyn and won
three out of four from the first
place Dodgers. 1
In the American league the
Yankees beat, the champion
Brownies two out of three in St.
Louis after dropping eight in a
row there, then lost four out 01
five at Chicago and three out
of four at Cleveland.
The Senators and their slim
catcher, Rick Ferrell, made news
yesterday. Going into second
place for the first time this sea
son, the Solons beat the White
Sox at Chicago, 5 to 2, for the
fourth straight time to help Fer
rell celebrate the tying of an
American league record by hand-

Mann blanked the Beavers with
eight well-scatlcrcd hits. Scar
sella hit four lor four.
Sacramento emerged with a 3
to I edge in their series with San
Francisco by virtue of an 8 to 3
triumph. A four-run flurry in
the fourth, including Jess Land
drum's home run for two tallies,
sent San Franjisco pitcher Bob
Barthelson. to the showers. The
Seals homer was sent over the
fence by Kay Perry in the fourth.
A pitchers' duel between the
Angels' Don Osborne and the
Rainiers' leflhanded Chet John
son held the Seattle Los Angeles
game scoreless until the seventh,
when Norbert strode to the plate
to lambast one over the left field
wall.
The win gave Seattle a 3 to 1
lead in the current series.
