IN E Johnny Vander Meer, 23 Year-Old Southpaw Turns Trick for Second Time in Row Ninth Inning Tense By RID FKDER (Associated Press 8vrts Writer) Johnny Vander Meer moved Into baseball's hall oi fnme last Saturday. Now he owns It. ., The Cincinnati Red' 2S-year-old southpaw flreballer. In his first full year In the major leagues, reached a new all-time pitching high last night In Brooklyn by hurling his second no-hlt, no-run game In a row. That's something not even the Mathewsons, the Johnsons, the Youngs ever did. Twlro In Four Days In all baseball history, only ten pitchers ever have turned In two no-hlt games over their entire ea- j reers. none ever naa come inrougn with two In one season. And now, along. comes young John ny, who started his baseball In i church league near his home In Midland Park, N. J., and then was given the go-by from three big league clubs, to toss two no-hltters In two consecutive appearances U In the sosce of four days. Last Saturday, pitching against the Boston Bees, he hurled the first nlne-lnnlng National league no-hltter since Daffy Dean turned the trick In 1834. Last night, he repeated against the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-0, before a sellout crowd of 38,748 which packed Ebbets Field to see major league night ball Inau gurated In the metropolitan area. F.lght Walked. Eight nun reached base, all on walks, as his mates fielded perfectly but Johnny pitched his way right out of every pinch. Even In the ninth when, with one out, he loaded the bases on consecutive walks to Babe Phelps, Cookie Lavagetto and Dolph Camllll. the Dodgers' "mur derers' row," he got hold of his control again to finish the Job. In that spot, he forced a runner at the plate for the second out and got Llppy Leo Durocher to fly to center on a two-and-two pitch to end the game. Except for that one Inning, only one other Brooklyn runner got aa far as second base against the six foot, 190-pounder and his fireball. as he posted his seventh win of the year sgulnst two defeats. 4 .

Billy Hulen says: Dude May Give Sockeye Chance At Title Here ' Don t look now, and don't even whisper it among your very best friends lest you want to get laughed out of the county, but there la the bar eat of Mim possl blllty, Infinitesimal chance that Cow boy Dudo Chick can be Induced to place his world's J u n 1 o h e a v ywelght wrestling title on the block against SocJceye Jack Mc Donald right here In Medford In the very near fu ture. Mlly Rale Promoter Mack biTiard didn't even want to talk much about It yes terday when this writer broached the subject, explaining that it was such a long-shot possibility that It might be better to wait until negotiations were further along and not take the chance of disappointing hundreds of fans by falsely arousing their en thuslasm. However, tho Impresario did admit that he waa going to do all In his power to promote the scrap, and he mentioned several angles that would be worked in an attempt to get Sockeyo a crack at the crown. Of course, the biggest hurdle stand lng in the way Is the mutter or do-ro-ml. Chick, naturally, wouldn't risk his championship for marbles, and peclally against' a man of McDonald's calibre. (Sockeye beat Chick here Monday In a non-title match, the second southern Oregon setback for the champion In three years.) Real ising' that, Li Hard Is prepared to of fer the cowboy everything within reason: to-wlt: a flat ffiOO guarantee with an option of 30 per cent of the gross gate. Llllard Is trying to arrange the match for July 11, at a, grand open- air Inaugural under the stars at the high school stadium, and to sweeten the pot for Chick he is toying with the Idea of taking off $100 from the June 30 and June 27 armory cards and throwing that sum In along with the $500 guarantee. So far aa Sock eye la concerned, he told Llllard he would wrestle the champion for bare training expenses, Just to get a crack the title, donating most of his share of the purse to Chick. All in all, Llllard flgurea he can see around 750 to offer Dude. Now, 1730 can't he considered exactly marbles, but at that It Is far below the flguie Chirk Is In the habit of demanding, and get ting, when he goes to the pusl with his dlndem the prize. Chick has never fought a title match In southern Oregon, and Llllard sold that every time the Idea was suggested to him In I he past, he quickly stopped all Mich talk by mentioning Impossible sums of money. It Is our opinion that If fans in the valley will start demanding that championship match, really put the pressure on the Cowboy to enter the arena In a title go with McDonald, that thore is better than an outside chance It can be arranged While he wasn't exactly hopeful, Lllliud ad mitted that ChVJc might be forced Into the mat 'h. especially in view ol that $7fi0 and tne post blllty tl.e op tionhl 30 per .vrt mlghx run ronsld ?tv$ higher. There Is no doubt jT . SM, HAVE YOU TRIED HOP COLD'S NEW BEER? J4 , ) such a match would draw at least !, 000 spectators Into the stadium. Solly Krelger of New York appar ently Injected himself right Into the scrambled middleweight picture Tues day night In Seattle when he battled Champion Freddy Steele toe to toe for 10 vicious rounds, only to lose the verdict on what, according to tht radio Impression of the fight, was one of those "home town decisions." May be the announcer leaned over back wards to paint a word picture of Krelger s aggressiveness, but It ear ly sounded like the New Yorker was handing out Just a little more than he was receiving from the champion. Krelger scored in the ninth and tenth rounds with terrlfflc right hands to the chin, according to the announcer by far the hardest punches landed during the fight, hut that didn't alter the verdict. Steele was awarded the decision and the radio loudspeaker rumbled-anil roared as the crowd booed the official outcome. t It rally sounded like Holly should have got the nod, or at least a draw. Anyway Solly put up a whale of a battle, and now the busiest weight- division in the fight game Is even busier and more hashed up, with no less than six middleweight right In the thick of things and all so evenly matched It would probably take a modern Solomon to name the best boy. Yes, there are more great fight ers In that one division than there are in any other two, relatively speak ing, of course. First, there is the champion. Steele Next Is Freddy Apostoll. San Fran ciscan who scored a technical KO over Steele not long ago In a non title bout. Then comes Young Cor bett III, who further complicated the picture a couple of months ago by taking a decision from Apostoll. There Is Al Hoatnk of Seattle, whom nobody seems to want to fight; Glen Lee, who lost a pair of hairline decisions to Apostoll, and lastly Krelger, ap parently about on a. par with any of them. Put 'em all In the ring at once and let the best man win would be our way to selecting the deserving champion. While speaking of middleweight fighters, here Is some plenty good news for the hundreds of Ashland friends of Johnny Shumway, ex- Southern Oregon Normal school foot ball fullback, and one of the most promising battlers In that class In the country. Shumway has been taken over by Pop Foster, who man aged the great Jimmy McLarnln, and now In Los Angeles learning from the man generally acknowledged as one of the smartest In the game. Mack Llllard, a personal friend of Foster's, told us the news and cleared up the mystery of what had become of Shumway. He said that when Foster agreed to handle a young fighter, you could bet dollars to do- nuts the boxer has what it takes. He explained that Foster haa plenty of money laid away and doesn't have to experiment or gamble on his fighters. It Is here predicted that It won't be long before Johnny Shumway Is right up there at the top, bottling the Stceles. Apoatolls, Hostaks and Lees. . And perhaps knocking them over with, that savage straight right of his. City Proud of Grass. SALINAS, Cal.
