New York, June 21 tiw The
pre-season dopes ters who predict
ed this would be a year of tri
umph for the carpet slipper and
rocking chair crew the ancients
among big league pitchers
laughed up their athletic sleeves
today, for It appeared that, for
once, they had hit the nail on the
head. I
The veterans made the batters
look silly yesterday as the three
shutouts which were recorded
were all posted by men with more
than 20 years of professional base
ball experience Bucky Walters,
Cincinnati. 21: Bobo Newsom.
Philadelphia Athletics, 22. and Al
Hollingsworth, St. Louis Browns, i

Walters, always a reliable
moundsman, topped the major
league hurling corps today with
11 victories against three losses
and gained his - latest triumph
. against- the Pittsburgh Pirates
last night with a two hit, 3-0 tri-umDh.
Elsewhere In the National

the world champions a much-needed

Rtzpatrick Wins
From Johnson
Los Angeles, June 21 (IPW-Fitzy
Fitzpatrick, Cleveland, put muscu
lar Willie Johnson, Los Angeles,
away with a short right to the
chin in 2:58 of the opening round
last night at Olympic auditorium.
Johnson, a 6 to 1 underdog In
the betting, was holding his own
with the Cleveland cyclone until
he was caught with a sharp left
to the Jaw for a no count. He came
back with a series of blows to the
body, but FitZDatrlck weathered
them and soon after sent him to
the floor for the count, tolled by
marine hero Barney Koss.
Fitzpatrick weighed 160; John
son, 168.
than $1,000,000 for 13 main events
at the Garden.
Beau Jack is In service now;
likewise Bob Montgomery, who is
recognized as lightweight cham
pion in New York state. Which
leaves 20-year-old Williams, who
now lives In Trenton, N. J., as the
outstanding civilian lightweight.
Of course such recognition ex;
eludes Juan Zurita of Mexico, who
is recognized as lightweight
champ by the National boxing as
sociation, and who recently ac
cidentally shot himself In the
hand after losing a New York
bout to JJeau Jack. . ? ". .
Zurita's defensive showing
against Beau Jack indicated that
he was a dangerous contender;
but not a crowd pleaser. Williams
beautiful boxer and a terrific
puncher apparently is a crowd
pleaser, although his style is
much more civilized than that of
Beau Jack, the super-club fight
tlcularly If he can knock him out
he will capture a New York fol
lowing that will make him key
man in the lower divisions. Ike,
who was born at Brunswick, Ga.,
and who moved to Trenton, N. J.,
in 193g, truly will become Uncle
Mike's new "Georgia Peach."
New York fans have read about
Isiah Williams about his unus
ual winning record; but they re
member particularly the stories
of how he was knocked out in the
12th and last round by Bob Mont
gomery at Philadelphia early this
year. Montgomery's final blow
knocked him through the ropes
and draped him over the ring
apron and across the bell as if
Semi-dead.
- Neither Williams nor his man
ager Conn McCarthy offered any
alibis for that defeat. McCarthy
merely said: ""I over matched the
kid. I put him in at 130 pounds
against a veteran who weighed
137; but I thought he could take
it. It was my fault."
Ex-Gonzaga Star
Wins High Honor
Seattle, June 21 IBA board
of baseball experts yesterday
chose Jim Presley, 16-year-old
Spokane, Wash., catcher, as the
state's best young baseball play
er. Presley, a Gonzaga high school
star, was selected as the slate star
after a wild double-header between
the victorious all-staters' boys
team and the Sealtle-Tacoma
squad.
The Spokane boy will travel
with the Seattle Kainiers until
August when he will leave for
New York City to represent Wash
ington in the all-American boy

Guadal' Vef
Swifches fo
Umpire Blue
Richmond, Va. Ui Catcalls
and Jeers from the crowd don't
bother this man in blue who calls
'em as he sees 'em In the Pied
mont league here. Even If some of
the fans were to become Irate
beyond the point of rationality
and begin hurling vegetables and
pop bottles as spectators some
times are wont to do- the chances
are this wouldn't disturb him
much either. And it's small won
der. For he served for 62 days un
der the fiercest of fighting con
ditions on Guadalcanal as a mem
ber of the United States marine
corps.
Ho is Bobby Hicks of Durham,
N. C, a new umpire in the league.
Hicks enlisted In the marines a
month after Pearl Harbor, receiv
ing only 11 weeks training in this
ganized baseball to the American
troops. He said that men overseas
read baseball news almost a avid
ly as they would a letter from
home.
"If I wasn't sure that the boys
in the armed forces wanted the
game to continue, I wouldn't be
umpiring," he said. "After I was
discharged, I gave up a clerical
job in a war plant to take this job
as an umpire and I want to make
it my career. I love baseball and
some day want to get to the top
in this department." 1
He was a catcher for a year In
Greenville, N. C, in the Coastal
Plain league before entering the'
marines. He also umpired several
games for Duke, North Carolina
and North Carolina State universities.
Discharged from the marine
corps in May, 1943, he was mar
ried soon afterwards. His wife-
lives in Durham.
Dorothy Germain
Tourney Favorite
Chicago, June 21 tun One of
the hottest competitors in the cur
rent women's golfing swing ap
peared' as odds-on favorite today
to plug through the women's
western open tournament to at
least the semi-final round.
She is comely Dorothy Ger
main, Personality-plus Drexel
Hills, Pa., star who looks as good
in front of a camera as she does
behind a 20-foot putt.
Yesterday, In her first match
play, she piled up the biggest mar
gin of the day to defeat Mrs.
Thomas Nolan of Newcastle, Pa.,
9 and 7. Last year Miss Germain
won the women's western ama
teur and was a semi-finalist In the
open.
Bed Hot Bet
Partly by the luck of the draw
but mostly by ability Miss Ger
main ranked as a red-hot bet to
advance to Thursday's quarter
finals and to the semi-finals Fri
day. She stands out as the top
notch links-woman in the lower
bracket, with most of the other
threats, such as Babe Didrlksen
Zaharias, Lt. Betty Berg and Dor
othy Kirby, bunched in the upper
division.
Chief threats in Miss Germain's
bracket were Georgia Tainter,
Fargo, N. D., Phyllis Otto of
Omaha and Margaret Gunther of
Memphis, but only Miss Otto,
with an 81, came close to Dorothy
in the medal play.
