TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, August 8, 1944 LAOS FROM EAST BLANKWEST.6-0 IN BOH CLASH Detroit's Bill Pierce Stars on East Mound; West Makes Costly Errors. New York, Aug. 8 (U.R) Canny Connie Mack passed on the wisdom of three baseball generations to his "poise boys" from the east yesterday by lead ing them to a 6 to 0 victory over the west squad of the All-Amer ica boys "world series" game be fore 17,803 fans at the Polo grounds. Belying their baby faces, the yeasty easterners played with fire end finesse and, although they were putting their spikes on major league turf for the first time, they gave an impression that it would not be the last. In contrast, the boys from the west were shaky afield and help less at bat before the southpaw pitching of Bill Pierce, 16-year-old Detroit moundsman. Pierce lived up to his nickname of "Mr Zero" by setting the westerners down with three hits in the six innings he worked and resorting to strong arm and strikeout tac tics whenever they threatened to rally. He fanned seven batters. Gets Stronger Pierce proved his mettle after hitting Marvin Holman of Chey enne, Wyo.,ln the head with a pitched ball in the first inning. Homan was not hurt and Pierce refused to let the incident nettle him, improving as the innings passed. Co-starring with Pierce was husky Charley Perchak of Chi cago, captain of the easterners. Perchak made three hits and was defensive star at first base. Mack, guest manager of the . east squad, used George Worgul of New York to relieve Pierce In the seventh. Manager Mel Ott of the west squad started Virgil Jester of Denver, and the Colorado young ster pitched well enough to win but errors behind him provided four unearned runs. His succes sors, Jimmy Propst of Kansas City, Mo., and Ervln Palica of Los Angeles, both pitched credit ably. IS MEDAL VICTOR Lake Forest, 111., Aug. 8. U.F0 Little Sally Sessions of Mus kegon, Mich., was carrying the weight of three records and a b'g-tlme reputation as she faced the championship flight o f the women's western amateur golf tournament today. "I haven't played much golf this year and I'm still not sure I can do much against this good field," she said as she prepared to tee off for her match with Mrs. Thomas Nolan of Newcas tle, Pa. Holding only a few regional honors when she started the 18 hole qualifying round yesterday, the bespectacled 21 -year -old Michigan girl vaulted to the top with her long-hitting woods as he fired a one-undcr-par 74 over the Onwontsla course, site of the 44-ycar-old western amateur. ncservc Itlenilrd tvtll.krr .

FACTORY f7 200 Cubic Foot Load Dial 2123 Timber P Pf Browns Made 11-5 Underdogs Against Redbirds In Series By Clen Perkins United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 8 (U.R) Long range odd-makers, discarding the possibility of a late foldup by the St. Louis Browns, installed them today as 11 to 5 World Series underdogs against their Sports man's park neighbors, the Cardinals, whose winning of the National league pennant has been a foregone conclusion for wee k.i The all-St. Louis World Series now looming as something more than a wishful thought by die hard Brown fans, would provide baseball with Its first one city fall classic outside of New York since the two Chicago clubs lock ed in the 1008 playoffs. It also would be baseball s first one park series and would raise for the St. Louis fans of next year, the Issue of the congested flag pole. In addition to the American flag, the world championship banner and the American and National league pennants would be destined to fly from the staff there next summer and It Is probably significant that the lowest banner will fly at half staff. Manager Luke Sewell, who flew to New York ahead of his team to see the all-America boys' baseball game, did not share the confidence of the betting gentry who have made th I Browns 1 to 6 favorites to take the flag. "Every club is laying for us," he said. "From now on it gets tougher. We're lucky to have the six and a half game lead and we'll be lucky to keep it. We have to beat every team in the league. Odds on the other clubs found the Yankees as second choice at S to 1, the Boston Red Sox at 8 to 1, the Detroit Tigers 15 to 1 the Cleveland Indians 30 to 1. me Chicago White Sox 100 to 1 and the Washington Senators and Philadelphia Athletics at 1,000 to l. favoring the Browns Is the stretch schedule which finds them with 23 of their last 28 games at home. After they com plete their current trln which be gins with four games against the Yankees Wednesday, they will face each of the seven other teams in the league at St. Louis, closing with the Yankees late In September. The Yankees, Indians and Red Sox are the only teams to have consistently given the Browns trouble this season and if they can break even in their remain ing games with these clubs they should have little difficulty in maintaining their" advantage to the finish. Los Angeles, Aug. 8.

Phone 3919 SQUABS JOE BAKSI HPS SAVOLD TO TAKE CIVILIAN TITLE Chicago, Aug.' 8 (U.R) An ornate pewter belt, emblematic of the worlds civilian heavy weight boxing champion" girded the expansive frame of Joe Baksi today, following the huge Kulp- mont, Pa., coal miner s 10-round decision over Lee Savold, Pater- son, N. J., puncher. The belt, dreamed up by Pro moter Jack Kearns, was Intended to rest with the No. 1 civilian heavy for the duration only, und unless Joe Louis comes back from the wars with malaria, shrapnel and sore feet, Mr. Baksi wasn't expected to keep the honor long. Not that the hulking young ster from the pits didn't look like a match for Louis last night. He pounded Savold handily, cutting him with heavy punches to the face, and came out entirely un ruffled. But when Savold turned on the speed in the last two rounds, Baksi Indicated to those who have tabbed him as Louis' future master that he would have to proceed with caution against Joe's blinding speed. Baksi, angered at a low punch from Savold in the third, rushed in to start the blond Slav's nose bleeding, and in the fifth he opened a cut on Savold's eye. It wasn't until the ninth that Savold illustrated what superior speed can do agaf-vst a towering fighter like Baksi. Desperate for a knockout to erase Baksi's early margin, Sav old abandoned his caution and used his faster style to take the advantage for the first time in the fight. However, Baksi is a hard man to hurt, and he weathered Sav old's late storm to emerge the winner, although one judge, William O'Connor, scored the match even. Clipping Of Hair No Help For Dogs, Owners Are Told Mrs. W. H. Rucker, 428 Plum Street, offers the following ad vice for care of dogs In warm weather: , Each year at this time many dog owners begin thinking about having their pets clipped or shaved es a protection against the warm weather. A dog should never be clip ped either in the spring or sum mer. If he is allowed to keep his natural coat he Is much cooler and better off in every way than a dog that has been clipped. A dog does not perspire through its skin as do humans, but through its lungs. Clipping will not save the ani mal from torment by fleas. Not only will It have Just as many fleas but lt will be bothered by other insects. A clipped dog is open to attack by gnats, flies, and other stinging insects from which his natural coat would normally protect him. A dog's coat serves to diffuse the rays of the sun and keep them from penetrating his body. So, regardless of what kind of a dog you own, if you want to help him endure the hot months, don't have him clipped.

Aue. 8 (U.PJ A former Harvard profes sor, who wasn't considered qual ified for scholastic honor dur Inc his undergraduate days, pre sented the world's greatest mathamatir-al pnlr-nlntor to the i university today and explained that his own laziness was re sponsible for its invention. Cmdr. Howard H. Aiken of Indianapolis, ' Ind., made the presentation to President James B. Conant of Harvard in the presence of high naval officials. The machine, which can add or subtract in 0.3 seconds and solve intricate problems 15 to 50 times as fast as the most modern office equipment, will be used by the navy for the dur ation. . "If I hadn't bitten off more than I could chew when I pick ed out a problem for my mas ter's degree, I probably never would have thought of the cal culator," Aiken acknowledged in an Interview. "But being es sentially lazy, I figured it would be easier to work out a solution on a machine than on paper. I couldnt find any machine ca pable of handling the problem so I simply had to invent one." The machine is 51 feet long, eight feet high and one foot in depth. It comprises 500 miles of wire, 3,000,000 wire connec tions and 2 adding machines, yet so finely geared that it makes no more noise than a few typewriters.
