Woodling, quiet Yankee whose
hobbies are fishing and collect
ting batting titles, moved into
first place this week in the Am
erican league hitting race with
a .333 average.
The Yankees have captured
four world championships but
no individual batting titles since
1945 when George Stirnwe.iss
won the American league crown.
Woodling. the first Yankee to
hold the lead this season, should
be a natural to win the 1952
title. He led four leagues while
batting his way to a job with the
world champions.
The 29-year-old outfielder be
gan his pro career in 1940 by
'leading the Ohio State league
with a .393 mark while playing
for Mansfield
He topped the Michigan State
league with a .394 while with
Flint in 1941, led the Eastern
league with .344 as a Wilkes
Barre performer in 1943 and
won the Pacific Coast league
crow with .385 at San Fran
cisco in 1948.
Woodling and his league
leading teammates don't match
the Yankee fence busters of the
Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig era but
they are well in front in the club
batting standings with .273.
Cleveland Is second with .260
in official statistics which in
cluded Thursday's day games.

In the individual competition,
Ferris Fain of the A's was run

what the smart buyer looks for in a motor car today is . . .
POWER. For power pays off in added performance, smoothness
and safety. When people discover that Oldsmobile's Super "88"
offers more power per dollar than any other ear, naturally they
; want to try it. So they "make a date with the 88" . . . with its
thrilling 160-horsepower "Rocket" Engine . . . with Hydra-Matic
Super Drive, CM Hydraulic Steering and the amazing Autronic
Eye. One date is enough to convince most people. Try it yourself!

Rocky Marciano was favored at
11-5 Saturday to beat clever
Harry (Kid) Matthews .Monday
night at Yankee Stadium in their
East-West fight for a September
shot at the heavyweight crown.
Champion Jersey Joe Walcott
has agreed to defend against the
winner. ,
Although Monday's 10-rounder
will not be televised nor broad
cast in any ' form, indications
pointed tow.ard a .crowd of less
than 35,000 and a gate of less
than 5350,000. .
Lethargic promotion apparent
ly failed to "put over" this at
tractive match between "block
buster" Marciano of Brockton,
Mass., and boxer-puncher Mat
thews of Seattle the world's
outstanding white heavyweight
contenders.
When the match was signed, it
shaped up as the "fight of the
year" because of the attention
commanded by Rocky and Harry.
Unbeaten Marciano's 'knockouts
had ended Joe Louis' comeback
campaign and had stopped the
"white-hope" march of Rex
Layne. Those were notable tri
ump'is as Roeky hammered out
his string of 41 consecutive vic
tories, including 36 knockouts.
But Matthews, "Pride of the
Northwest," was unbeaten in
nine years and he was cham
pioned loudly by congressmen
in Washington when the Interna
tional Boxing Club appeared to
be stalling on the match.

There's an ingenious adapta

Oakland Gains
PCL Top Spot
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) The
Oakland Acorns climbed to the
top of the Pacific Coast league
here Saturday when they over
came a five-run lead to down
the San Francisco Seals 7 to 6.
The Seals took the lead in
the second inning when Frank
Kalin, Bill McCawley and Ray
Orteig hit consecutive singles
to right field to load the bases.
Kalen crossed the plate when
Reno Cheso grounded out, and
McCawley scored as Len Ratto
flied to center.
Lloyd Hittle, the first of four
hurlers employed by the Oaks,
took the long walk in the third
inning when Jim Moran and
Kalin combined a pair of doubles
to give the Seals a three-run
edge.
The Oaks drew first blood in
the bottom of the third frame
when Pete Milne walked and
Hank Shenz doubled to left field i
to score him.
