Bob Knight pitched a three
hitter and poled a long home
run with a mate aboard as Paper
Mill downed Mootry's 7-S in a
hard fought City league Softball
game Thursday night. The result
tied the two teams for leader

The Pheasants downed
Knights of Columbus, 8-1, as
Warren held the losers to four
blows. The game was called at

Cleveland Hits Warpath,
Fails to Cain on Yanks
New York, July 8 (U.B The Cleveland Indians continued their
comeback charge in the American league pennant race today, but
they weren't gaining much ground.
The trouble seems to be that although the Indians are winning
ball games, so are the New York Yankees. The world champions
never will be able to overhaul
the front-runners this way.

Wenatchee, Wash., July 8 Lou McCollum isn't the Western'
International league's No. 1 moundsman by several notches but
he is sufficiently proficient at the art of propelling a DaseDau to
beat the Salem Senators. He did this very neatly xnursaay nigm
when he held the visiting Solons to a very meager four hits.
The result was a 7 to 0 white
washing applied by the home
town Chiefs who picked up 11
solid smashes including horn
runs by Clint Cameron and
Dick Faber. Faber's four master
came in the fifth with two on
board. Dick Sciarra was charg
ed with the loss, although he
was relieved by Jim Foster in
the fifth.
The game, last of a series of
three, enabled the Chiefs to
maintain their fourth place po
sition while keeping Salem ir
the second division. Wenatchee
will entertain the Yakima Bears
through Sunday while the Sen
ators move into Spokane for
four games with the Indians. Sa
lem took the local series, two
games to one.
McCollum retired the Sena
tors in order through three in
nings and a walk to Hal Zur-
cher in the fourth was the first
time a Salem player reached
first safely. A walk to Bob He-
dington and a single by Hank
Sciarra placed Salem's third
baseman on third in the fifth but
he died there.
Again in the sixth Bud Peter
son and Bob Cherry hit succes
sive singles but nothing happen
ed as Marty Krug lofted out to
Jim Warner in center field
while Roy Carlson fanned to nip
a possible rally.
The Chiefs, after picking up
single runs in the second and
third went to work in earnest
on Sciarra in the fifth as they
batted around. The Salem
chucker walked Myers and Has
kell with a sacrifice bunt by
McCollum in between. Faber
promptly drove them home with
his circuit blow. Jim Warner was
hit in the ribs by a pitched ball
and Camerson drew a base on
balls. Hal Rhyne,' back in the
game as a starter for the first
time in several days, was out on
long fly to Zurcher but the
left fielder's throw in was wide
and Warner advanced to third.
Nick Pesut singled to left center
to drive Warner home for the
fourth run of the session.
A double by Faber to the left
field fence scored Myers with a
run in the seventh. Foster held
the Chiefs scoreless thereafter.
The Victorias blasted the Ta
coma Tigers, 18-2 for the Ath
letics' seventh win in eight
starts. At Spokane, the Indians
whacked the Yakima Bears for
a 12 to 7 victory while the Bre
merton Bluejackets staged a 10-
2 uprising at the expense of the
Capilanos.

there's that broken nose.
Billy started a comeback last

an operation on it. Maybe I can
get Milton Berlc's old nose."

that may have been the real
clincher. It opened im the three-

same after thev fou Phi T.nuic a
second time. In Conn's case it
was even worse.
For Billy in the old days was
a brash, cocky man who would
have laughed in the face of the
devil. The first lime he met Lou
is he was a happy hellion who
fought with the reckless fury
which is the glory of the Gaels.
Then came the second time.
But now Billy was cautious,sa
man in retreat from the awful
certainty of those tearing brown
fists. The light was gone from
his tight-lipped face and later,
after they brought him to, the
Irish in him was ashamed of the
fight he failed to make.
It's still a burden he bears,
and probably always will, and
his face tightens and his eyes
darken when he thinks about it.
"People keep bringing it up,"
he snaps with a defensive, apolo
getic set to his shoulders. "I
fought 80 good fights and all
they remember, or want to talk

about, is that bad one."
Conn made more than a mil
lion dollars with his fists and
he estimated that he kept about
$400,000. Horses, when he had
his own stable of six, took a lot
of it. But he insisted that he still
was "heeled" and currently is
"doing all right," in a partner

Chicago, July 8 (IP) The big blond guy wasn't mad at all at
he walked shakily away from the hospital bed that possibly
kept him from being the American league's rookie-of-the-year.
"It was a tough break, that's all," grinned Gus Zernial, th
Chicago White Sox outfielder, leaving Mercy hospital yester-
aay alter a jo-aay stay.
Handsome Gus entered the
hospital last May 30, two dayi
after a diving try for a fly ball
shattered his collar bone at
Cleveland stadium.
At the time, Zernial was lead
ing the American league in hit
ting with .355, was tops in two
baggers with 17, and was the big.
get gate attraction the Sox have
had in years.
"Now, I almost have to learn
to walk all over again, much less
bat and throw a ball," said Zer
nial, walking out of the hospital
arm-in-arm with his pretty wife,
Gladys and their one-year-old
daughter, Susan.
The doctor has ordered Gus to
start strengthening his legs nxt
week. Then, he'll begin work
ing his repaired shoulder active
ly in about three weeks, Just
about when he comes off the in
active list July 28.
Zernial figures he may be able
to break into the Sox lineup
again about the first week of
August.
