The New York Yankees are

The world champions have
won six games in a row and the

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.

Ohio State Lands Billy Smith.
Hailed World's Finest Swimmer
Angler Peppe

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

a hold bid today to seize the lead
from Craig Wood's Ryder cup

of the two-day

that Is big

In a . last minute decision,

Melvin (Chick) Harbert, sensa
tional baby of the squad who will
play in tomorrow's singles.
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.

Bill Netinzig and Fred Brandt,

school, worked on Hawaiian sug
