PLENTY OF FOOTBALL MATERIAL AVAILABLE They are now pruning a pre pared list of some 1800 former college and professional stars to a squad of 120.

Tho professional picture Is muddled by war losses. Among tho Important new faces who will be able to play are Curt Medium of Oregon, Bill Dudley of Vir ginla and Charley O'Rourko of Boston collage. Mocham, a great triple-threat back, passes and kicks from the port side. Ho Is expected to be a main cog In Mlko Qctto's of fenso In Brooklyn. Gctlo replaces Dr. John Bain Sutherland, who Is now In the navy. Dudley, only IB, was a heavy All-America vote-getter last fall. Ho will play with the Phila delphia Eagles.

Tho Halas Honchmcn will have Luckman, Gcorgo Mttsso, George Wilson, Hnrlnnd Pool, Young Bussey, Dick Bray, Ray Arloo, and Bulldog Turner. That should bo plenty. Professional football's normal body-busllng routine, plus the added attraction of soldier teams, should produco a healthy responso from tho militant citi zenry.

By JUDSON BAILEY Aaaoclated Preaa Bporta Writer Pitching ulwuys is tho mainaprlng of baseball, but yesterday it was almost the whole works In tho major leagues. In tho greatest one-day concentration of pitching prowess this seoson, flvo of the seven games played ended In shutout and not a single home run was produced in the entire card. In fact, thero was only ono triple. Rookie Max Macon, pitching hli first complete game since Joining the Brooklyn Dodgers several weeks ago, muffled the New York Giants to two hits In winning 4-0 and for the first flvo frames had a no-hitter, John Beazley of the St. Louis Cardinals and Cecil (Tex) Hugh- son of the Bos ton Red Sox each hurled three hitters,! the former trimming the C 1 n c i n n a t 1 Redx, 5-0, and the latter stop ping the Phllu d a I p h I a Ath letics, 7-0, But llnl New houser pitched five-hit ball and Thornton Let lost In the rorcst game of all as Don Kolloway stole home to give the Chicago White Sox a 1-0 decision over the Detroit Tigers. This was the second start for Lefty Thornton Lee. the out Ktundini: hurler of the Amcri- con league a year ago, and it apparently proved that the mysterious urm ailment which kept him out of action for more than half the season hos van ished. The only other American league game was the one con test that developed Into a bat ling melee, Cleveland curbing the St. Louis Browns 8-5 in a night tilt with a six-run rally in the fourth inning. All the other National leogue activity also was at night. In one of the best National league fiames Truett (Rrlp) Sewcll blanked the Chicago Cubs, 3-0.
