EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, July 28, 1944 SPORTING PUBLIC OUT OF JG RACE Indians Blast Borowy 10-0 Browns Increase Lead By Beating A's New York, July 26 (U.P Flaunting the . adage that It is smart to ride with a champion until he falls, the sporting public was writing off the New York Yankees toduy as almost certain "also-rans" in the American league race. Realizing well that a predic tion of failure for the perennial champions could come home to haunt the maker, if the Yankees should put on a stretch drive and bundle up the bunting, the fact remains that at no time during the current campaign have they looked like the eventual win ners. In the friendly confines of Yankee stadium their hitting Im proved and the pitching was passable, but despite a long stay there they couldn't overtake the leading St. Louis Browns and now that they are on the road the situation has gone from bad to worse. The opposition has battered them for 68 runs in 10 games on the trip, while making 97 hits. The Yankees, meanwhile, have made 45 runs and 89 hits. They have managed to keep their starting pitcher on hand to the finish' in only three games and their ace, Hank Borowy, has been batted out in both of the games he has begun. Borowy was the scapegoat last night as the Cleveland Indians defeated the erstwhile Bronx Bombers 10 to 0 behind Rookie Steve Gromck's six-hit pitching. The Indians, taking their eighth victory in nine starts, got to Borowy for five runs In the opening Inning, four coming on Ken Keltner's grand slam homer. The Browns took advantage of the Yankee demise to go three and a half games in front, beat ing the Philadelphia Athletics 9 to 1 to give Bob Muncrlcf his 10th victory. Tabor Hits Four Jim Tabor sparked the Boston Red Sox to a 7 to 3 victory over the Dctrooit Tigers, getting four hits, one a homer, In the 16-hit attack.

Sacramento's longtime cellar occupants moved within 1V games of fifth place by nipping San Diego, 1-0, while Seattle skidded into sixth on a 2-0 loss to Portland. Hollywood trounced Oakland, 12-2, to take over fifth spot. Seats, handcuffing the Angels with four scattered blows, won his 17th game against eight losses. Seattle Twirlcr Johnny Babich turned in a four-hit performance against Portland, but lost when Charlie Peterson walked in the first, Spencer Harris doubled, and Johnny Gill and Ted Gullic singled to give the Beavers two runs.

CLUB O m ARMORY iiiiiii Victor Jory Recalls Time He Had String Of Fighters By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, July 28 U.R) Victor Jory, one of the busiest character actor's in the entertainment vorld, said "I would pay $50,000 for a top-flight fighter, i' Iwasn't sure that said fighter would worry me to an early grave. Jory of the villainous counten- ance is perhaps America's most rabid fight fan. He is a former pug; also a former manager. He enaulfs and enmeshes current boxing writers with his flood of UD-to-the-minute fight statistics Jory who must be in his 40's, Is lean and athletic-looking; ai though he says he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown years ago when managing a cer tain young welterweight wnne he was Dlaying with a stock com pany at Minneapolis. No it wasn't King Tut nor Frankle Battaglia, in whom villainous Vic had his financial Interests, Jory owned this particular welterweight outright, and he tried to be manager and trainer. I would put this kid to bed every night," he said last night at Toots Shor s, ' and then 1 would spend a couple hours run ning back and forth between the fire escape at the rear of the hotel and the front entrance and every night that kid would break out; and I'd pick him up later full of gin at a certain hot spot. He almost killed me, was ready for a straight Jacket when I gave him up. I took far more punishment than he ever did in the ring. Jory of the coal-black hair sat there at the little white table in tweed sports jacket and wide-open blue shirt as he talk ed. He shrugged off inquiries about his success In the current radio hit "Dangerously Yours' In which he is a swash-buckling nero every Sunday afternoon He clammed up to questions about the new Broadway play ine perfect marriage," which goes into rehearsal soon. He wanted to enjoy himself. He wanted to talk boxing. The guy who had starred In such pictures as "Gone With the Wind," Mid Summer Night's Dream," "Dodge City" and 107 other films, continued, "If you're once bitten by the fight bug, you never get it out of your system. Yet that kid in Minneapolis made me so disgusted with box ing for aewhlle that I turned to race horses. I had a small string for several years. I had some fairly good ones, like Bulwark, Peter Tokalon, Pom kee, Russia, Mintcrn and Slat tern. They proved more expen sive than fighters. They almost ruined mo financially, probably becauso I made the mistake of betting on my own horses. I'm convinced that the biggest suck er in the world" is the guy who bets on his own nags. Those horses take a fiendish delight in double-crossing you." CHICAGO BEARS PICK 1944 TRAINING CAMP Chicago, July 26 (U.R) The Chicago Bears will set up their training camp this year at St. Joseph's of Indiana at College ville, Ralph Drizzarola, acting president of the world champion professional team, announced to day.

PHONE 2300 IN MAT TILTS OF If Thursday night's main event armory wrestling match between Paavo Katonen and Tony Mo relll repeats the history of their first two brawls, fans can expect to witness another ending pecu liar to the grapple game. Last week, customers will re member, Referee Yoakley stop ped the affair when Morelli's hard knuckles opened up a bad cut over the coast light-heavy weight champion's right eye. Morelll was awarded the de cision. That climax was strange enough, for few wrestling bouts are halted because one of the contestants is bleeding too free ly. The boys get bruised and bat tered around, but seldom cut. If that.cnding was unorthodox however, the termination of their initial struggle three weeks ago must come under the heading of fantastic. On that memorable evening, with the falls standing at one apiece, the pair carried their vicious battle outside the ring. There, right under his corner, Morelll grabbed a pop bottle from his second's water bucket and let Katonen have it on the cranium. The blow put the champ out like a light and Morelli, who climbed back in the ring, was awarded the decision by Yoak ley, who hadn't seen the bottle episode. The Medford Boxing commis sion had .however, and they re versed the dicision, giving the nod to Katonen. It was probably the strangest ending to any wrestling match ever staged in Medford. So, meeting for the third time In as amny weeks, they'll be fac ing each other in the "rubber" embroglio, with both of them de termined to grab the deciding verdict. In the center attraction, Jack Lipscomb will toss his rough tac tics at clean-wrestling Herb Parks, the Canadian light-heavy king. A newcomer, Rowdy O'Doudy will take on Billy Konke of Can ada in the opener. O'Doudy's name implies the type of grap pling he goes in for. Konke is substituting for Milt Olson, who will be unable to appear. LARRY LANE GETS Newark, N. J., July 28 (U.R) Larry Lane, young Negro heavy weight from Trenton, N. J who paralyzed Lem Franklin of Chi cago with a knockout blow here Monday night has received of fers to fight main events in seven major cities since the nfeident, his manager, Willie Gilzenborg, revealed today. "I am gratified at the response but sorry that Lane had to hit the spotlight in such a manner." he said. "We're tabling all of fers for the present. Our first concern Is over Franklin's con dition. Lane himself called at the hospital several times to check on how he is getting along. He is pretty broken up about it." Manager Jack Hurley, who handled Franklin, snld that the heavyweight fighter's career "definitely is at an end." "I will never again permit him to fight while I am managing him," he said. Franklin, felled by a left hook In the ninth round at Meadow brook Bowl, remained In a criti cal condition from the brain in Jury and the resulting paralysis to his right leg and-arm.
