' The Ball Looks Bigger,1 Says Laabs of Slug Streak WASHINGTON, July 18 (IP) It may be that Chet Laabs, husky St, Louis Browns out fielder,, is whacking the ball so hard lately that it's starting to swell. At any rate, he says, it seems to bp coming up to the plate "a whole lot bigger." Here for a two-game series with the Senators, Laabs at tributes his present clouting streak to "a better view of the ball" and a change of stance that has him turning more to ward the pitcher. Whatever the reason, Laabs has boosted hla home run col lection to 17 for the season In cluding seven in the last seven days.

By JODSON BAILEY Aaaociated Preaa Sports Writer The New York Yankees are turning the thumbscrews on the rest of the American league again with four fine pitchers fur nishing most of the pressure. The world champions have won six games in a row and the last four of these were credited to Hank Borowy, Atlcy Donald, Ernie Bonham and Spud Chand ler, who among them have won 34 games and lost only nine this season. Two of those last four games were shutouts and one was a one-run affair the 8-1 triumph over the Cleve land Indians vesterdav. chandus Chandler was the winner, his tenth victory against two defeats. He limited the'Tribe to six hits and had the benefit of four double plays as the slick-fielding Yanks boosted their total of double killings to 119 in 88 games. Chester Laabs continued his sensational slugging at Philadel phia as the St. Louis Browns captured a doubleheader from the Athletics 4-2 and 11-1 to run their winning streak to eight games. Laabs hit a homer with one on and a double in the first game and another home run with one on and a triple with two on in the nightcap. This gave him 17 home runs and 64 runs batted in to date, more than he made in the entire 1941 season. He has hit seven homers and driven in 22 runs in the last week.

BOUDREAU NOW 25 NEW YORK, July 18 VP) Lou Boudreau, manager of the Cleveland Indians, celebrated his 25th birthday yesterday. He said he felt much older than that after the 8 to 1 pasting admin istered his club by the New York Yankees. WILLIAMS GETS AWARD BOSTON National baseball weekly gave Ted William of the Red Sox a scroll for being the outstanding player of 1941 despite the fact that Joe Dt Magglo of the Yankees was ad judged the most valuable in the American league. for good measure added a triple, double and a single which ac counted for six runs. "It's probably just one of those things," said Laabs, "when you either smack 'em or you don't." "But I know one thing. The ball Is looking pretty now a whole lot bigger. The reason may be ' t h a t I changed my stance a few days ago. I pulled my front fool back a little and faced the pitcher more." Laabs' rampage yesterday was just a year and a day after his feat of batting two homers, a triple and a double to tie the modern long-distance hitting record in a single game. The stocky fielder who bats and throw right-handed is bat ting over .290 now. 17?''. 1 PAGE NINE ground to the Yanks. A single by Ted Williams eventually de cided it. The Brooklyn Dodgers piled onto the Chicago Cubs again for a 10-9 victory to take three of the four games in their rowdy series. Claude Paaseau returned to the mound for the Cubs on one day's reat and waa belted out In the midst of a five-run fifth Inning. The Cardinals slaughtered the Philadelphia Phils 10-1 with Howard Krist pitching five-hit ball and his teammates making 13 safeties. The New York Giants over whelmed the Pittsburgh Pirates 1132 with a 20-hit offensive led by Billy Jurges, who hit a homer, double and two singles. In the first twilight game ever played in the nation's ' capital, the Washington Senators blank ed the Detroit Tigers 3-0 as Buck Newsom limited his former mates to four hits and shaded Hal Newhouser in a hurling duel. MAILS EYES MARINES SAN FRANCISCO, July 18 VP) Walter Mails, 47, former southpaw pitching star for the Cleveland Indians and several' Pacific Coast league baseball clubs, will enlist in the U. S marine corps Monday. Since 1930, he has been public rela tions representative for the San Francisco Seals. Ohio State Lands Billy Smith. Hailed World's Finest Swimmer Angler Peppe Bags Second Hawaiian Fish By BURTON BENJAMIN NEA Service Stall Correspondent COLUMBUS, O., July 18 Mike Peppe, the little firebrand who coaches Ohio State's swim mers, has completed a Hawaiian fishing trip by remote control and landed a couple of prize flounders. ' Klyoshi Nakama is hooked, netted and already paddling in the spacious Buckeye natator ium. Bill Smith, Jr., is nibbling at a scholarship bait and is a certain catch, although he may paddle a year at a mainland prep school. Nakama has completed his first year at Columbus and is set for collegiate competition. Smith will be his roommate unless he decides to wait a year. His de cision is expected next month. In view of the probability of a low er draft age, It Is doubtful that Smith will delay his collegiate entrance. . Just why Bill Smith, who broke four world records, one long course world mark, five American standards, two nation al interscholastle records and six other short course world and American marks In one year1, needs an extra year of practice is a puzzle. The 17-year-old Irish-Hawaiian, son of an island policeman, rates as the swimmer of his gen eration. When he fully matures, he Is certain to rank aa the fin est paddler tha world has ever known. A husky, eurly-halred water baby; Smith holds records from 200 yards to 1500 meters. His versatility extends to the one mile ocean course, He won the La Jolla, Calif., outdoor swim at that distance in 20:12.8 last year. DUKE KAHANAMOKU IS GOING. STRONG AT 52 Hawaii Is an aquarium of swimming talent. Thirty years ago fabulous Duke Kahanamoku splashed to world renown. Bill Smith carries on that tradition today. The Duke, 52 and trim as a bathing suit model, swam 50 yards free-style In the neighbor hood of 28 seconds at the AAU Indoor meet in Punahou tank I this year. Peppery Peppe may well chor tle about his importations. Arch rivals Matt Mann of Michigan and Bob Kiphuth of Yale are expected to sound a westward ho when Mike tosses his fish into water. Smith and Nakama are mem bers of the Alexander Com munity house of Maui, AAU out door team champions. Smith won the 200 and 400 meter events and anchored the victorious 800-meter relay team wnue iNHKauna coppea tnn ouu and 1500 meter, crowns as the Hawailans out-thrashed the best! swimmers in tha country last summer, Haig's Team Seeks Edge Over Ryders Little-Cooper Pitted Against Hogan-Demarot Duo In Charity Matches By WAT80N 8POELSTHA DETROIT, July 18 MP) Walter Hagen's challengers made a hold bid today to seize the lead from Craig Wood's Ryder cup squad In opening competition of the two-day charity series that Is big league golf's closest ap proach to an all star game. In 36-hole best ball matches over the 6957 yard Oakland Hills course, the Haig sent his foremost two- Lawson Little some of Lawson Little and Llghthorse Harry Cooper against the unbeaten combination from the cup squad, Ben Hogan and Jimmy Demaret. From other selections it was quite clear that Hagen made no real effort at lineup manipula tion, in which he is an old hand. The pairings: CtlOfMf i. SofiO'Deoiaret 1. Byron Meliou-Ed Pudle? I.

This third match of the war orphaned international series promised to yield $25,000 for the BUI Nakama defended his two titles successfully at the AAU Indoor championships in New Haven this year. Peppe first conceived the idea of bringing crack Hawaiian swimmers to Ohio State in 1939 when he took a six-man Ameri can team to Guayaquil, Ecuador, for the Pan-American champion ships. . , : ' Three Hawalians, one of them Nakama, were members of this squad. Peppe persuaded the Japanese-Hawaiian youngster to think about Ohio State when he wag ready for college. PEPPE FINDS FISHINO SPLENDID IN HAWAII Bill Netinzig and Fred Brandt, aquatic alumni of the Columbus school, worked on Hawaiian sug ar plantations, persuaded Smith and Nakama to matriculate- at Ohio State.
