' VEDFO'RD WATT: TRIBUNE. METJTOITO. OREGON. THURSDAY. JULY 25. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Brooklyn Cinch Fight-Starting Champs of Loop Brooklyn may not win the National league pennant, thanki to the Cincinnati Reds, but at least the Durocher Dodgers are almost certain to end the sea son with the gang-fight-starting championship. They should cnp this questionable title hands down, and without breathing hard. When Flatbusher Pete Coscor art. the ex-Beaver, and Cinry's Lonnie Frey started firing clenched fingers at each other Tuesday in Brooklyn, thus cm broiling practically every play er on both clubs, it was the third free-for-all fracas the Lar ry MacPhail lads had started in the space of five weeks. The latest Dodger-opposition uprising, according to reports, was rather a honey. It was con siderably more brisk than the previous two, and several gents actually got hurt. Usually, in these baseball beefs, nothing and nobody is injured but the feel ings of the participants. In the Brooklyn-Cincinnati eloutfest, however, no less than three pastimers fait physical pain. Coscorart was spiked by Fray, which started the fighli Gene Thompson. Reds pitcher who stuck his nose in the thing, also was spiked some where along the line, and Bill Werber. Clncy third baseman, got a black eye. This baseball fight was far more exciting than the Dodgers' two other tiffs, the first of which flared when Joe Medwick was beaned by a St. Louis hurl er. Manager Leo Durocher of Brooklyn and Mickey Owen, Cardinal catcher, came to blows, but no serious damage was done, except for Medwick'i cranium. Then last week the Daffiness boys went berserk again in Chi cago. Claude Passeau, Cub pitcher, claimed Hugh Casey, Dodger fllnger, was throwing at him, and when he was hit in the ribs he whammed his bat at Casey. Joe Gallagher, Brooklyn outfielder, took up Casey's cause nd he and Passeau traded non devastating wallops. The Dodgers have been called the "hustlingest" club In the Na tional league, and there la little doubt that they deserve the dis tinction. But it begins to look like they are hustling" them selves right out of the race. A certain amount of hustle is necessary, of course, but a club can go too far. When "hustle turns into a fist-slinging "tussle it would seem about time to take it easy for a spell.

The donkeys wouldn't coop erate in running bases, nor would they heed the pleadings of players astride them to chase the ball when it was hit. How ever, several batters managed to mount the beasts and com plete the circuit to home plate, with a little coaxing. In the first inning, which lasted about a half-hour. Trill. Long and Lowery made runs for Fluhrer's. In the Lions club half of the frame, Boy Elliott, who appeared to be an old hand at donkey-busting, socked a nice hit and circled the bases In not more than 10 minutes, while the fielders were frantically attempting to re retrieve the ball. Ray Marti of the Lions club was "KO'd" In the first inning when his mule heaved him to the ground while flashing down to first base at snail-speed, and an , ambulance roared up to take the fallen player away. Sam VanDyke and Jerry Trill of the Breadeaters never did manage to reach tirst base. although they clubbed out mighty wallops. The donkeys. "Pee Wee" and "Mae West," suddenly took a notion they would rather hang around home plate, and that was that. Neither player was seriously injured. Prior to the donkey game. Fluhrer's and the Pine Box team of Ashland played a regu lation softball tilt, with the lo cals edging out a 8 to 3 victory. Maru for Fluhrer's allowed six hits, while his teammates belt ed Charlie Warren for nine. Hampel homered, VanDyke tripled and Maru and Lowery doubled for Fluhrer's. Bentley hit a homer for the Pine Box ers and H a r 1 s cracked a double. Score: R. H. E. Pine Box 5 8 1 Fluhrer's 6 9 1 C. Warren and Gettling: Mru and J. Smith. HOW THEY STAMD American League W. L.
