" Medford 1 ,7 h an Ray Robinson bes Shank In 2nd Round NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (AP) Ray Robinson begins to look like the first fellow in four de cades likely to go through a fistic career without losing a fight. This was apparent last night after the slim swatter from Harlem tcok the Colorado cowboy, Reuben Shank, apart in two heats at Madison Square gorden. For a few minutes, Shank's charges and free-wheeling wal lops looked as if they might make trouble, and the crowd of 10,437 caught on. quickly. But Reuben made two mistakes. The first was when he showed up at the garden. The second was when he caught Sugar Ray a shot on the whiskers early in the second round. This sec ond error shook Robinson up and acted like stepping on the Starter of your car. It made Ray's engine explode. He floored Reuben four times. The fourth time the refree gave Shank his hat and told him the' show was over. And even Reu ben was convinced by that time. Indians Win, So Do Caps in WW a fcaWWfJ WUIIICS By The Associated Press Spokane lost a decision to the dimout in the Western In ternational Baseball league at Salem last night when a two hour game was called with the Indians ahead in the seventh inning.

C, where there is no dimout, the league-leading Capllanos got to play a full nine innings. They camo from behind In the last of the ninth to edge out Ta coma, 2-1. Spokane had scored three runs in tho seventh, had the bases full, two out and Johnny Stamper up when Umpire Amby Moran called the game. The Indians argued, but to no avail.

Two games went to ten In nlngs last night and one of the extra-inning tussels ended In a tie. Nightfall intervened at Seattle to halt a game between the Ralnlers and Portland at 7-7 after the lowly Beavers itaged a three-run scoring rally in the ninth. The San Francisco Seals beat out sundown and the dim-out by four minutes and won, 3-2, from the league-leading Los An geles Angels. Charlie Henson, rookie out fielder, won for the Seals by singling in a run with the bases loaded in the tenth. The Angels outhit San Fran cisco, ie to 9, but expert field ing especially by Shortstop Don Trower, helped Sam Gibson to the win. Ted Norbcrt and Larry 'Bar ton paced Portland batters, who pounded Hal Turpin for 16 safe ties. Norbert ' knotted the score with a two-run homer in the ninth to top off his night's rec ord of a triple and a single in four times at bat. Barton poled out four hits in five tries. San Diego used 19 base hits to defeat Sacramento, 7-3, in the first twilight game of the So lon's park where a sparse 869 fans turned out. Oakland and Hollywood were idle. Savold Is "Robbed1 By Musto Blond Iowa Slugger Loses Nod to Chicago Heavy WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (AP) Lee Savold, the blond Iowa heavyweight whose, chief am bition is a crack at Champion Joe Louis, hollered "robbery today, and he wasn't alone. Lee thought he was doing right well against Tony Musto the built-elose-to-the-ground Chi cagoan, in a 10-rounder here last night. So did Referee Ed die" Lafond and most of the ringsiders, but . the two local judges, Dr. Robert Eller and Dr. O, U. Singer, thought oth erwise. The result was a 2-1 decision for Musto. Tony stayed in a crouch most of the way and oc casionally landed in the clut ches, but Savold dutboxed him whenever the battlers came out of their lethargy to mix it up. Savold, who disposed of Lou Nova, the California ex-Yogi man, here a few months back, started out slow and never was very impressive. By the fifth round, however, he was taking the lead with stinging left jabs and occasional straight rights to the body. Musto gained his point ad vantage, in the view of the judges, from his slinging body blows in the clinches. He hurt Savold about four times at close quarters in the early rounds. oavoid, the boxing pride m Des Moines, solved Tony's style in the latter rounds and from then on took most of the Chicagoan's punches on the gloves, and el bows.

By AUSTIN BEALMEAR Aaaociated Praia Sports Writer The American league, which holds the upper hand over the National league in world scries of the paat few years, will attempt to catch up with Its older -companion loop tomorrow in baseball's contributions to war relief. Far behind the senior circuit forces through receipts of designated games, the American league) has pinned its hopes on the New total somewhere near the Na- tional League's gift of better than a quarter of a million dol lars. The Yankees will be aided by the Washington Senators and both teams will have the help of their brlghest stars of former years Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson. Although the main attraction at Yankee stadium is supposed to be the doubleheader between the two clubs, top bill ing has gone to the Babe and the "big train." With Johnson pitching, Ruth will step to the plate between games and attempt to belt the Babe Ruth Walter Johnson ball out of the park, just as he did no less than 714 times in his 22 years as a Major League player. Advance ticket sales indicate a near-capacity crowd of more than 75,000. ' Before yesterdays game which opened the New York- Washington series at the stad ium, Ruth did a little practicing. Batting ' against Gerry Priddy, an infielder, the Babe drove three balls far back into the right field seats. After their former slugging star retired, the Yankees went out and put on a demonstration of their own, blasting 21 hits off three Washington pitchers to crush the Senators, 17-7. The Yankees needed the vic tory to preserve their 101 game margin, for. the second-place Bos ton Red Sox whipped the Phila delphia Athletics, 7-9, in an arc " A ' ' , Fint Things Come First War Calls Mast Go Thronah A cherished tradition among telephone men and . . women is that "the message must go through.
