"The Veterans of Foreign Wars Amateur Boxing Cham
pionships lor Servicemen in the Northwest" as the tourna

athletic funds of military camps as well as service organi
sations such as the USO, as 10 per cent of the net gate for
- each card will be turned over to the former, and another 10"
per cent sliced off for the .latter. Out of the balance will come
the insurance, advertising, rental and other expenses, prizes,
and all the equipment such as gloves, tights, tape, etc
needed by the battlers. Balance left if any. will go toward
the VFW building fund.
And, according to Flax, the VFWABCs may swing into ac
tion within the next month or so, depending on the cooperation
received from military sources of course.

'1 think it would be much easier facing Williams, Foxx.
Gordon and DiMaggio." writes Franlde Diedckx, Senator
flipper deluxe now pursuing his medical education at
Creighton U In Omaha, Nebr. And from the looks of
Franlde's curricular burden, an "at ai" from this corner.
Frankie arrived at Creighton on July 7 after leaving, the
Solons, took his sophomore exam on July 8, "passing with flying
colors," and immediately began studies July 9 on the following:
. Physiology, pathology, obstetrics, surgery, clinical diag
nosis, laboratory diagnosis, psychology of medicine, medical
history, materia medica, nutrition, applied anatomy and first aid.
(No wonder ballplayers like the hours so well, even with
oil the Williams, DiMaggios, Reisers, etc.)
But along with all his medicine Frankie still finds time to do
a little pitching in a twilight league, and has four wins and
two losses since joining the circuit : .
"We play twice a week Thursday and Sunday Tve
won,games of 3-2. 8-2. 9-6 and 5-1. and got whacked 5-0 and
' 7-5 so far." - '- '...- ' ' .
In a very prominent "P.S.," Frankie proudly pens, "Hit a
double the other night closed my eyes and swung surprise!"
Yes, Frankie, you can repeat the last part of that

7 to 3
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1 -JPy- The
St Louis Browns broke loose
against Charley "Red" Ruffing
Saturday with some more of their
newly discovered power, crushing
the New York Yankees, 7-3, as
Steve Sundra limited his former
teammates to eight scattered hits.
With the second-place Boston
Red Sox stopping the Detroit
Tigers, the defeat cut a full game
off the Yankee lead in the Amer
ican league, which now stands at
11 games.
The Browns clipped Ruffing
for ten of their dozen hits and
scored all their runs off him
before they chased him te the
showers in the fifth Inning-.
The Yanks moved ahead in the
second on doubles by Joe Gordon
and Phil Rizzuto and a single by
Rollie Hemsley, but the Browns
got both, runs back in the third
when Gutteridge beat out an in
field hit and Johnny Berardino
blasted his first home run of the
year.
Gutteridge also singled te
open the fifth, when the Browns
scored four times. " Tony Cris
cola doubled, Chet Laabs drew
an Intentional, pass and Vera
Stephens' outfield fly scored
one run. Mike Chartak, also a
former Yankee, doubled for twe
runs and. another former Yank,
Don Heffner, scored . the ' last
tally with a double that chased
Ruffing. Johnny LiudeU halted
- the rally by fanning Luke
Sewell.
The Yankees scored their last
run on one hit in the sixth when
Charlie Keller walked, moved to
third - on Gordon's double and
came in on an outfield fly. ; -New
