FIVE FRAMES OF
BELCASTRO WITH
Feat To Go Unrecorded Be'
cause of Rule Whit
Wyatt Wins for Brooklyn.
New York, Juno 23 (U.R)
Jim Tobin, the Boston Braves
nothing ball and no-hit artist,
today had pitcnea nis secona no
hit eame of the season but no
preparations were being made
to enter the leat m me record
boolrs.
Darkness deprived Toblu ot a
chance to take his place along
side Johnny Vander Meer as the
only other pitcher In , modern
baseball history to hurl two no-
hit games in one season. Only a
very few have pitched two in
their cireers.
Following yesterday's first
game in which Ron Northey
clouted a 15th Inning home run
to give the Philadelphia Phillies
a 1-0 triumph ov.-r the Braves,
Tokin took the mound and pitch
ed five hitless innings before
the game was called. According
to baseball's rules, if the home
tipra is ahead, four and a half
Innings constitute a game in the
event the umpire deem: it neces
sary to call the contest. Thus,
Tobin did hurl a no-hit game,
but the record books enter only
those who pitched nine or more
innings. The Braves, with hom
ers by Tommy Holmes and
Butch Nleman, won the nlght
eap 5-0.
Whit Wyatt, who doesn't be
lieve the season starts until mid
summer, held his own opening
day at Ebbetts field and pitched
the Brooklyn Dodgers to an easy
10-3 victory over the New York
Giants.
Reds Lose Pair
The Pittsburgh Pirates un
leashed a 26-hit attack that
brought them from behind to
victory in both ends of a double
header with the Cinclnnat' Reds
and strengthened their hold on
second place. Rip Sewell spotted
the Reds three runs- in the first
inning of the opener and then
checked them for the rest of the
day to win 8-4. Five runs in the
sixth inning of the nightcap
overcame a 4-1 deficit and al
lowed the Bucs to go on to a 7-4
decision.
St. Louis at Chicago in the
National league was rained out.
The tight American league
race got tighter as the leading
Si. Louis Browns took a 10-3
shellacking from the Chicago
White Sox.
The -econd place Boston Red
Sox split with the Philadelphia
Athletics, Boston taking the first
game, 5-4 in 13 innings when
Mike Ryba doubled and came
home on Pete Fox's single to
win his own game. In the after
piece Bob Estalella hit in the
ninth inning scored the margin
al tally for the A's 3-2 edge.
The Washington Senators bow
eu to the New York Yankees,
Bill Zuber holding the Nats to
four scattered hits for a 4-0 Yan
kee victory.
The Detroit Tigers edged the
Cleveland Indians, 4-3.
FAMOUS SCOUT DIES
New York, June 23. (U.PJ
Baseball lost a colorful figure
today in the death of Larry Sut
ton, for a quarter of a century
a scout for the Brooklyn Dodg
ers. Sutton, who would have
been 86 years old on July 1, died
last night at his home almost in
the shadow of Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn.
Walter "Sneeze" Achiu scored
his second straight grappling
victory in the Medford armory
last nljht, employing his pet
Jiu-jitsu neck-paralyze- to take
the third and deciding fall from
Pet- Belcastro in a wild main
e ent that sent the big crowd
home talking to itself.
The husky Chinese workman
in'oashed a treme..dms sonnen
berg that carried Belcastro half
across the ring to R in the
first tumble of tin match. Pete
v. so s'- ned 'hat he was easy
prey for a body press.
The ' Hal'- however,
came back a short time later to
even the score. He c-it loose
with his usual brand of dirt,
featuring p-.-.nches to the head
and knees to the groin, and after
flooring Achiu with a right hook
r his she " a ' ' mat.
Up to this point Achiu had
refrained, to some extent, from
retaliating when Belcastro kept
pouring on the brutality. But,
with the falls standing one
apiece, the Oriental decided to
put an end to the affair. He !
stood p and slugged with Bel
castro and the latter couldn t
take it. Down he went, and
chiu, seizing his hance, ap
plied his thu bs to the n-rve
cent s of Pete's neck. A few
seconds of th!i treat ent and
Bt'Icasro was all thr i. He
c".d't awaken " . minutes after
thj match was -'1 over.
'Gorgeous George" Wagner,
never more crazy-acting, took
two out of three falls from Buck
Davidson in the middle event.
Hi followed this up by raving
and ranting at the crowd over
the loud-speaker and challeng
ing Achiu to a rematch from
their sensational tussle of last
week.
Davidson got his fall in the
first round' with a reverse body
press, but Wagner, in the third,
made Buck holler "when" for a
fall, and wound up the match in
the fourth heat with a shoulder
press after they had battered
each other from pillar to post.
Wagner was still in the ring
screaming at the customers
when Achiu appeared for the
main event. Wagner immediate
ly collared him and demanded a
rematch, all the time making it
known that he doubted Achiu's
Intestinal fortitude.
Finally, he grabbed the micro
phone again and declared he
would put up $300 In war bonds
It Achiu would do the same,
with the winner of the rematch
to take the pot. Achiu, while not
actually accepting the challenge
acted like he would be more
than glad to accommodate the
gla...orous boy. This return go
is a possibility for next week.
Jack Lipscomb employed his
self-strangle hold to take the
line fall in his opening-event
match with Billy McEuln. The
fall occurred In the third and
final round. Between the second
and third heats Lipscomb be
came embroiled in a slugging
match with Referee Earl Yoak
ley and they had quite a party
until McEuin shoved Yoakley
aside and took over the scrap.

Walters Best Bet To Pitch
For Nats In All-Star Game
By Jack Cuddy
United Press- Staff Correspondent
New York, June 23. (U.PJ The almost certain and in all prob
ability unanimous selection of William "Bucky" Walters for this
year's all-star game gives what we think is a definite advantage
to the National league.
Walters, ace right-hander of
the Cincinnati Reds, is unques
tionably the best night pitcher in
baseball and if he is Manager
Billy Southworth's choice to
start for the senior circuit, and
his record indicates that he will
be, the American league bats
men will do well to eat a lot of
carrots between now and July
11 the date of the game. Car
rots are supposed to, perk up
your blinkers in the dark.
Over the past two years,
Walters has been practically un
beatable under the arcs. He puts
a hop on the ball which seems
to escape vision in the night
games and batters find his de
livery exceptionally tough to
master.
Walters got off to a bad start
last year and after recovering
from an ankle Injury which he
suffered in spring training, the
night games were in progress
and he started to shine. The ma
jority of the 15 games he won
last year were after-dark victories.
This year, he has been effect
ive In both night and day games,
but unbeatable at night. His rec
ord 'shows 11 victories against
only three defeats and Included
in the wins were four shutouts.
His last time out he whitewash
ed the Pittsburgh Pirates, under
the lights at Crosley field, with
two scratch hits.
At his current pace Walters
will break his previous high for
a season which he established in
1939 with 27 victories.
Bucky Is a managers' pitcher.
His fielding is nearly flawless
and in addition he is a splendid
hitter, frequently winning his
own ball games with base blows.
He seldom needs relief and Ir the
13 games he has started this sea
son Cincinnati Manager Bill Mc-
Kechnie has had to send in help
only on one occasion.
Chicago, June 23 (U.PJ It's a
great year for underdogs at
least two of whom go Into semi-
final competition at the women's
western open golf tournament to
day after scoring one major and
one minor upset over quarter
final favorites yesterday.
The chief upsetter was Betty
Jane Haemerle, 18-year-old St.
Louis girl, who posed a stymie
that Lt. Patty Berg couldn't cope
with on the 19th green after the
match had gone into a playoff.
In the class of minor upsets
was the victory of Jeanne Cline,
Blommington, 111., former west
ern junior champion, over Phyl
lis Otto, Omaha, 3 and 2. Miss
Cline took a birdie-2 on the par
3 5th but was 1-down at the
turn. She won the 10th, 11th,'
13th and 15th while Miss Otto
was unable to win another hole.

Important task of meeting the
county Red Cross chapter quota
on surgical dressings. Mrs. Gus
Newbury, surgical dressing
chairman, thought up the little
slogan because if 100 women
would make but 25 dressings
each day that the local work
room is open, and 100 would re
port In the outlying districts, the
county quota would be easily
met.
Mrs. Newbury points out that
the workers average 25 dressings
an hour, which means that if
100 women reported, each would
only have to work an hour. The
county quota averages about 75,
000 dressings a month.
Last Tuesday was a record
day for the workroom, with

Turf history records nothing

closest approach to it being the
