New York (U.R) Fearless
Fraley's facts and figures:
Roland Lastarza is bitter and
anxious for revenge against
heavyweight champion Rocky
Ma rciano in
their title fight
Sept. 4, but he
isn't letting his
feelings give
him any fool
ish ideas.
Rollie's ani
mosity stems
from a close
d e c I sioa he
lost to Mar
ciano three
and a' half
Oscar Fralay
years ago, and the latter's fail
ure to live up to a return doui
engagement.
"They don't have to tell me to
et mad for this one." Lastarza
says, "but I'm not saying that
I'll be a tiger. That's not my na
ture. But I will fight with one
purpose, to win. I'll do it box
ing and punching and if I get a
chance to knock him out, I'll
take it." . . . But it is clear he'll
settle for a decision.
Present For Yankees
One of the hottest guessing
games in baseball these days is
"what s wrong with the Amen-
can League." And everybody
has a different answer. There
seems to be rather general agree
ment among baseball men, how
ever, that the Yankees aren't
winning the pennant, but that
the rest of the teams are diow
ing it. . . The theory is that the
Yankees just aren't that great
a ball club, . .
Lew Worsham, who won the
lucrative "world" golf cham
pionship at Tarn O'Shanter by
holing out his approach shot on
the final green, wants everybody
to know that he didn't "miss"
the shot. That idea got around
because his wedge shot rolled so
far, and a wedge isn't supposed
to act that way.
Not All Luck
"It isn't an ordinary sand
wedge," Lew explains, "but a
special MacGregor club which
Bradford Hurls
Seals To 3-0
Win Over Solons
San Francisco (U.R) Bill
Bradford hurled the San Fran
cisco Seals to a 3-0 victory over
Sacramento Saturday before a
Pacific Coast League crowd of
1366.
Bradford and losing pitcher
Marino Pieretti both turned in
five hitters but the Sacs couldn't
get any runs for little Chico off
the Seal right hander, who
cruised to his third straight tri
umph. San Francisco grabbed a two
run lead in the second inning.
Frank Kalin went to first when
he was hit by a pitched ball, then
trundled around to third as
Reno Cheso singled on the hit
and run play. After George Vico
popped up, Leo Righetti singled
to score Kalin with the first run.
Cheso came in when Nini Tor
nay's bounder squirted through
third baseman Eddie Bookman's
legs for an error.
Pieretti then turned in five
hitless innings until the eighth.
At that point, Righetti singled to
left, advanced on Bradford's sac
rifice and scored on Jim Mor
gan's single.
Vico was kicked out of the
game in the second by Umpire
Ed Runge when the burly Seal
first baseman hurled his bat
about 40 feet into the air after
PODDine out. The mar hniinr4
off the railing along the first
Dase line out no one was in the
way. 1
Bradford now has a mark of
8-7 while Pieretti's record is 10
12.

First of all taking them by and large
they are exceptional people. For the most
