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.
It has been 35 years since
major league pitcher has av
eraged as many sirikeouts as

DONKEY SOFTBALL
E
Some 2,000 fans packed the
fairgrounds field grandstand
last night to watch the Med
ford Lions club and Fluhrer's
Breadeaters play a game of
Softball on donkeys, and when
the ludicrous contest was over
it was the consensus that the
game was a tie, although no
body was sure.
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.
