Aug. 3-10-17-24 TODAYS RTtPARADE By JACK CUDDY United Press Correspondent NURNBERG, Aug. 10 (UP) The cream of the American Ath letes in the European theater takes over today in the big nazi stadium built to glorify the mus cle men of the "master race." There isn't anything domineer ing or superior in the array of G. I s, who will be using the same fighting hearts in the finals of the European track and field championships that Ihey had in the long hard battle to stamp out nazism. Big Field There is so much of this sta dium the service men will need only a portion of it to put on their show in the same sotting where on occasion as many as 150,000 rabid nazis attended pagents and demonstrations. The size of this world's largest sports and pagontary coliseum can be appreciated by watching the various serviceman baseball teams work out on their big di amond, which occupies about one fifth of the arena inside even though the foul line fences are 325 feet away and the center field depth is 400 feet. Jew Baiter Nearby is the "old stadium" where most of the track work outs have been held on the field which received the international gold medal in 1934 as the most beautiful athletic facility in the world. The stadium is just out side Nurnberg, the most rabid of all the nazi cities and the home of Jules Streicher, the "jew bait er." The city, nearly destroyed by allied bombing attacks, has only the half-leveled grand hotel to quarter officers' mess and visi tors. Five American sports writers touring Europe as the army's guests were guided to rooms and cautioned not to step through the wrong door "or you'll plunge to death." Needless to say none of them did. Rebuilding Hermann Goering and other nazi biggies used to occupy the Grand Hotel. American soldiers now stroll through the lobbies and along the sidewalks that bound it, scowling at the sullen native men but smiling at the fiauleins who appear to be de lighted. The G. I s can't understand why Uncle Sam keeps them in Nurnberg to. supervise the re building of the city. "Let these so-and-so's rebuild their own city and send us home," is a typical comment. NU-ENAMCL PAIXT PROOUCT WE CARRY A Bid STOCK TeePs Paint Store 1308 Adams r Tobin Coriies To Aid Winning Detroit Tigers Yanks Win For McCarthy With Ruffing Hurling By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, Aug. 10 (UP) Jim Tobin brought his tantaliz ing "crawl ball" to the Detroit Tigers today in an effort to in sure them the American League pennant. Tobin, whose slow stuff made him one of the most bewildering pitchers in the National League, was waived out surprisingly yes terday by the Boston Braves. Although the big right-hander won 18 games last year, he had failed to round into top form this season and had won nine while losing 14. However, a change of uniform has helped a number of other players this year and the Tigers gambled $7,500. Second Pitcher Tobin was the second pitcher they had acquired in as many days. They picked up George Cas ter, relief artist from the rival St. Louis Browns, the day before. The Tigers, who have been in first place continuously since June 12, had to win to stay up there yesterday, but the manner in which they beat the Red Sox, 11 to 5, at Detroit gave their sup porters a lot o encouragement. Generally weak - knoed in their hitting of late, the Bengals batted Red Sox pitchers for 15 safe blows. Third Win It was "welcome back" for Man ager McCarthy of the Yankees who was greeted with a 3 to 2 victory over the Indians at Cleve land after he returned from two weeks illness. He saw one of his pre-war pitchers, Charley (Red) Ruffing, chalk up his third vic tory. The other two came while McCarthy was away. The Yankees won the ninth on singles by Mike Garbark and George Stirnweiss and a fly by Bud Metheny. Washington went after two Chi cago pitchers for 14 hits and beat the White Sox, 7 to 2. The climax came in the fifth when five hits produced six runs. Mickey Haef ner won his 11th game, getting most of his hitting support from former army officer Buddy Lewis, who made a double and two singles. Dodgers Gain AI (Boots) Hollingsworth of the Browns, outduelled Bobo Newsom of the Athletics at St. Louis, win ning, 1 to 0, with a three-hitter. It was Hollingsworth's sixth win and Newsom's 15th defeat. New som has pitched 11 games this season when the A's gave him two runs or less. The third place Dodgers gained ground in the national with a twin win over the Reds at Brook lyn, 9 tto 2 and 4 to 3, Art Her ed only one damaging blow, a ring won h i s sixth game. He yielded only one damaging blow, a homer to Frank McCormick. Rookies Ralph Branca outpitch ed Howard Fox in the 12th inning afterpiece in which he struck out 11 men, allowing just six hits. Babe Herman, batting for Branca, singled home the winning run in the 12th. Cubs Lose An ex-teammate slowed down the hot Cubs at Boston where Big Bill Lee pitched the Braves to a 7 to 3 victory, beating Paul Derringer. The Cardinal moved within five and a half games of the lead with a 5 to 3 victory over the Giants at New York. Harry Brecheen, despite a shaky fifth in which he gave up homers to Carroll Lockman and Danny Gar della, won his seventh game. The Cards made four runs in the fourth on five singles and a sac rifice. Ken Gables, Pirate rookie, won his seventh game against one de feat at Philadelphia, beating the Phils, 3 to 1.

Down in the middle of the league standings, San Francisco broke a fourth-place tie with an 8-0 victory over Oakland; Sac ramento defeated San Diego, 6-2, and Los Angeles bunched all their scoring in three innings to pum mel Hollywood, 8-4. 2 to 1 Edge The Rainiers' victory gave them a 2-1 edge in their current series. Turpin had Portland shut out until the ninth inning when Frank Shone singled and moved over to third on a double. He scored on an infield out. Seattle drew first blood in the opening stanza on Bob Gorbould's hit, Hal Patch ett's double and an infield out. Patchett's hitting figured in all the Seattle runs. In the third he singled again and promptly stole second and took third on another hit. He came across on a wild throw to the plate. Whitewash In the seventh his third single scored Turpin with the final Suds' marker. Frank Seward, who started both games for San Francisco last Sun day against Seattle and was bat ted out in the first inning of each game, did an about face Thurs day night as he restricted the Oaks to seven hits while hanging a whitewash on them. The Seals scored five of their runs in the second inning. Neill Sheridan, who doubled, scored on Roy Nicely's hit. After Bruce Og rodowski drove Nicely home, Se ward hit and Bernie Uhalt was safe on a fielder's choice, filling the bases. Big Bruce scored Ondel Young's fly. Jake Caulfield booted Emil Mailho's grounder and Charley Peterson climaxed the inning by crashing out a double to send Uhalt and Mailhom home.
