New York, June 21 (U.R-
The pre-season dopesters who
predicted this would be a year
of triumph for the carpet slip
per and rocking chair crew
the ancients among big league
pitchers laughed up their ath
letic sleeves today, for It ap
peared that, for once, they had
hit the nail on the head.
The veterans made the bat
ters look silly yesterday as the
three shutouts which were re
corded were all posted by men
with more than 20 years of pro
fessional baseball experience
Bucky Walters, Cincinnati, 21;
Bobo Newsom, Philadelphia Ath
letics, 22, and Al Hollingsworth,
St. Louis Browns, 22.
Walters, always a reliable
moimdsman, topped the major
league hurling corps today with
11 victories against three losses
end gained his latest triumph
against the Pittsburgh Pirates
lest night with a two-hit, 3-0
triumph.
Elsewhere in the National
league the leading St. Louis
Cardinals defeated the Chicago
Cubs for the ninth consecutive
time this season as rookie A)
Jurisich served up five-hit ball
to record the 2-1 triumph.
"Eums" Victors .
The Brooklyn Dodgers, be
hind the fine pitching of Les
Webber, overcame a four-run
deficit in the first inning to de
feat the New York Giants, 7-6.
Philadelphia at Boston in the
National league was rained out
The Philadelphia Athletics
swept a doublehcader from the
Boston Red Sox, 5-4 in an 11
Inning opener and 2 0 behind
Bobo Ncwsom's two-hitter in
the finale.
The St. Louis Browns and the
Chicago White Sox split, the
Sox taking the opener, 4-3 in
10 innings. The Browns nicked
tarter Orval Grove for a run
in the first Inning and went on
to a 8-0 decision.
The Cleveland Indians, de
spite 3-1 triumph over the
Detroit Tigers, fell into the ceK
ur behind the double winning
Athletics.
Hank Borowy, the Yanks ace
hurlcr, tossed four -hit ball
against the Washington Sena
tors to give the world cham
pions a much-needed 3-1 victory.
Chicago, June 21 (U.R) One
of the hottest competitors in the
current women's golfing swing
appeared as odds-on favorite to
day to plug through the women's
western open tournament to at
least the semi-final round.
She Is comely Dorothy Ger
main, personality-plus Drcxel
Hills, Pa., star, who looks as
good in front of a camera as she
does behind a 20-foot putt
Miss Germain, daughter of a
glue works executive, apparent
ly has inherited a degree of
"stick"; her die-hard golf game
carried her to the championship
in the Red Cross women s tour
nament at New Rochelle, N. Y.,
last week and brought her in
with a 79 for runner-up spot In
the women s western medal
round Monday.
Yesterday, In her first match
play, she piled up the biggest
margin of the day to defeat Mrs.
Thomas Nolan of New Castle,
Pa., 9 and 7. Last year Miss
Germain won the women's west
ern, amateur and was a semi-
finalist In the open.
Partly by the luck of the
draw but mostly by ability
Miss Germain ranked as a red
hot bet to advance to Thursday's
quarterfinals and to the semi
finals Friday. She stands out as
the top-notch links-woman in the
lower bracket, with most of the
other threats, such as Babe Did
riksen Zaharias, Lt Patty Berg
and Dorothy Klrby. bunched in
the upper division.

Promoter Mike Jacobs will take
the wrappers off his new "Geor
gia Peach" at Madison Square
Gaiden Friday night when he
tosses Young Ike Williams into
the ring against veteran Clco
Shans.
Jacobs' previous "Georgia
Peach" was Beau Jack royal

drew gates totaling more than
$1,000,000 for 13 main events at
the garden.
Beau Jack is in service now;
likewise Bob Motngomery, who
is recognized as lightweight
champion in New York slate.
Which leaves 20-year-old Wil

Wrestling philberts of this
city, still groggy from last
week's slam-bang, alley-brawl
mat session at the armory, can
expect more of the same wild-
eyed action when six of Promo
ter Mack Lillard's pachyderms
go to the post on Thursday
night's program.
1 Two of the principals of a
pair of last-week matches that
"laid 'em In the aisle" will col
lide in the main event. Walter
(Sneeze) Achiu, the Jiu-jitsuing
Chinese who walloped the day
lights out of "Gorgeous George"
Wagner, will face Pete Belcastro
whose tea-party with Herb
Parks set an all-time high for
blood, thunder and downright
brutality.
The match, by all odds, should
leave little to be desired by
those clients who like their
grappling rough and rugged.
Pattern of the seml-windup is
expected to follow closely that
of the top brawl. In this tussle,
Glamour Boy Wagner, who has
dropped two straight tilts, will
engage Harold (Buck) Davidson,
who has copped three goes in a
row in trying to build up a
record that will win him a main
event berth. Neither matman
cares much for legitimate' tac
tics, so it'll probably be another
slugging set-to.
Still another bad actor will
appear in the opening event

Clyde and Harriett Beatty "at home" on the lot of the newly
combined Clyde Beatty and Russell Bros. Circus.
The life of Clyde Beatty,
world renowned wild animal
trainer, actually is in direst
peril every time he enters the
iron-barred arena of the Clyde
Beatty and Russell Bos. Com
bined Circus presenting its last
performance in Medfcrd tonight
on South Central at Riverside
avenue.
The slightest slip might .mean
death and a man of Clyde
Beatty's audacity doesn't get a
chance to make many slips.
But, further than that, this
slightly built fellow (Clyde
weighs only 140 pounds) has
when Jack Lipscomb returns ; another burden. It is the peril

mal trainer.
Twice each day, she, too, en
ters the arena with death ever
at her elbow, ready to strike
her down as three of the great
est natural enemies in all na
ture perform to her commands.
Harriett, who was once an
aerialist, has trained a lion,
tiger, and an elephant to enter
the arena at the same time, a
feat which in itself is without
peer. But, as the wife of Clyde
Beatty, she was unsatisfied with
merely that! She polished her
act until the tiger and lion were
reconciled to ride, side by side,
on the elephant's back and later
jump through a blazing hoop,
which accomplishment provides
a thrilling moment in the action
packed program of the Clyde
Beatty and Russell Bros. Com
bined Circus.
Mrs. Beatty has faced death
also, but Clyde was always at
hand to rescue her when the
going got too tough for his at
tractive blonde wife. Ever;
time either of them is in the
arena, the other is close at hand.
Good troupers, they shield their
innermost feelings and never
show the fear they hold deep in
their hearts when their mate is
performing.
I now know to the full the
meaning of the expression "have
a bull by the tall." Having taken
hold, you can t let go and you
wonder what In the world ever
tempted you lo grab him in the

' The bull I caught by the tall
Is a radio program. On the Im
pulse of the moment, I walked
into a radio station and said I'd
like to broadcast a farm pro
gram; one I'd made up myself, I
told them with a bright self-con
fidence which I now wish had
frightened, rather than encour
aged them. And it wouldn't sur
prise me to learn they wish the
same thing.
So now I fight my way
through the streets five days a
week to a studio, sit before a
mike and burble of life as it
was at Hillside before a war
came along and took Frank out
of the smid patch and into the
woods. Not that anyone listens.
There couldn't be, with that
many people walking the streets.
Yes, I sure got myself in a
mf's, seeing the time of year it
Is. I want to work In the iarden;
pick and can wild blackberries;
to for a bird walk: clean the at
tle; hake bread- feed a calf. But
no. I enn't. I have to stay here
and eat limp salads, toast with
no butter, and blue milk on my
mush. Also every day I have to
put on my er foundation gar
ment.
But stumping down the hot
pavement on my fallen arches

In place of watching the sun
rise over the rldKe back of Hill
side. I ll watch the clock above
the mike ticking away the pass

milk but a man yelling for over

conditioned place to compare
with the God conditioned atmos
phere of Hillside fragrant with
apple blossoms or curing hay
air which is alive, now whiffing
gently at your face again fairly
hammering the breath out of
you.
Nothing is the same here. We
had such big fat worms on our
cabbages at home, but hunt as I
would, not a worm could I find
on the cabbages in the public
market. Nor have I seen any
man with Imagination enough to
build a gate without a fence. I
guess Frank's the only one ever
did that.
Oh, woe is met How did I
ever get myself into such a
mess. And if the broadcasting
company doesn't give me "an In
definite furlough" pretty soon, I
bet I get sick. Maybe I'm sick al
ready; maybe I'm homesick.
Could be.

blew frantically Monday morn
