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.

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, July 26 (U.R) The
Chicago Bears will set up their
training camp this year at St.
Joseph's of Indiana at College

day. The Bears, who open their

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.
