Overseas sports roundup:
PERSIAN GULF COMMAND
Set. Allen Lacombe. the No.
1 boxing promoter from Cairo
to Teheran, types this report
. . . "Boxing in the FGC has
been pretty good in the last
month or so. I took 22 boys on
tour of the command. The
camps we appeared in did not
have boxing teams before we
went there, but as soon as we
left all of the camps started to
organize teams . . There is
only one place that we can
fight during the summer and
that Is Teheran. It is nice and
cool up in the mountains where
the camps are, so once a month
I have to put' on 12 fights tip
there, matching boys from all
over the command.
NEW GUINEA
Recently received copies of
the "Cockatoo," which describes
itself as "the leading and most
widely read morning newspaper
in New Guinea," include com
plete resumes of major league
baseball performances as well
as racing results at "Fresh Mea
dows," a track where toy horses
are raced with the aid of dice
. . . And an accompanying let
ter from Editor T5 Clifford
Garding says: "In our particu
lar, but not peculiar, situation,
we are unable to participate in
athletics because the jungle is
hardly the place for diamonds,
f courts, courses' and .athletic
I fields. The sea is our play
ground and water sports are the
main diversion."
ENGLAND
From a Canadian newspaper
comes information that a Can
adian army cricket team will
play an American team on the
famed cricket grounds at Lords,
July 20 . . . The match already
has led to speculation in Lon
don papers as to whether the
game will help Canadians and
Americans forget the more
raucous game of baseball when
they return home . . . From this
distance, it seems more likely
that staid Londoners never will
forget the Canadian - American
game.
t t
NORTH AFRICA
Chief Warrant Officer Frank
Hartley reports as follows to his
old paper, the Louisville Times,
on racing In North Africa: "It's
confusing enough to buy a
ticket which reads 20 francs,
but which sells for 60 francs,
or $1.20. It's even worse inside
. . . If you're lucky, you can
find through the use of sign
language and GI French that
favorites aren't posted and there
aren't, as a result, any opening
odds . . . So long as the race
is going on, you can imagine
that you're back in the States,
because usually the races are
good and if s just as difficult to
see the backstretch as it is 'at
home'."
Browns on
Top Again
After Drop
Luke's "Morning Glories"
Grab 6-5 Game From Yanks
After Poor Eastern Trip
By JACK HAND
Asioclated Preii Sports Writer
If you've been counting the
St. Louis Browns out of the
American league pennant race
because of their poor eastern
trip, better revise the figures
and look again.. Luke Sewell has
them back in first place today.
After winning their first nine,
the Browns started to slip, blew
an entire series in Philadelphia
and fell off the top. St. Louis
dreams of a Sportsman's park
scries faded and they began to
tab Luke Sewell's crew "morn
ing glories."
Since leaving Missouri soli
over two weeks ago the Browns,
only team never to win a pen
nant, have taken only five of
14 games. They had lost seven
out of 10 to their eastern rivals
before they grabbed a 6-5 edse
over the Yankees yesterday at
New York. But Joe McCarthy's
crew has Deen dropping too.
It was the first time the world
champions had seen the Brown
ies this season and Nelson Potter
gave them an eyeful with a neat
six-hit job while Mark Christ-
man and Al Zanlla banged out
their first homers. Bud Meth
eny and Ed Levy also hit for
the circuit but couldn't save
Atley Donald from his second
loss and the New Yorkers from
their fourth straight defeat.
Detroit tumbled Washington
into third place behind Johnny
Gorslca's tight seven-hit twirling
as Rudy York banged out two
hits and drove in half the runs
of the Tigers' 4-1 edge. Word
that Catcher Al Evans had re
ceived a medical discharge from
the navy and soon would rejoin
the Senators was the only -good
news for Washington fans.
Philadelphia's luck continued
to run bad as Cleveland's Al
Smith hung up his first triumph
of the year by a 8-1 count, scat
tering nine' hits.
Mike Ryba capped off three
hitless innings as a relief hurler
by singling home the winning
run in the last of the 12th for
Boston's 3-2 shade over Chicago.
Pittsburgh swept the series
from Brooklyn in the rvauonai,
advancine into -third place-on a
5-2 victory. Vince DiMaggio's
third homer was the big wallop
of a four-run spurt in the seventh.
Mort Cooper- came up with a
sore elbow after two trying in
nings as Jim Tobin pitched Bos
ton to a 4-3 nod over tne.&i.
Louis Cardinals whose lead was
sliced to three and a half gamts
when Cincinnati outslugged the
Phils, 7-5. It was thefirst ap
pearance lor iiyae .ino-iuw
Shoun of the Reds after his near
perfect job Monday. ,-
Chicago collected .only three
hits but they were enough 'for
a 3-2 verdict over New. York
with the help of Hugh ,L,uDy s
error with the bases loaqea.

pony were destroyed early to

Hundreds of thoroughbreds
were stabled at the track but
only about 30 had to be turned
loose.
Value of the nine horses lost
in the fire was variously esti

000. There was no outstanding
racer among them.
Had the fire happened two

Wagner Win
Over Pete
Gorgeous George Set For
Mat Battle With Katonenj .
Lipscomb Topples Klier
By JOHN FOSTER
Gorgeous George Wagner won
the right to meet Paavo Katonen.
Pacific coast light heavyweight
champion, next week at the ar- ;
mory, by drubbing Fete Belcas-
tro, the weed Assassin, in tno
main event of last night's week
ly mat card.
It was a wild, fist-flying affair,
with Wagner getting the first
fall with a series of well-aimed
whacks to the head and a body
press.
A wee bit leary but out for
hi l r-, all n MMinlni, Dal

returned all the battering he re
ceived in the first round and
after a few minutes lapsed he let
So with some fisticuffs to
reorge's head and a couple of
body slams and fell on top to
gain the count.
. That evened the bcore. The fi
nal round was ready.
' Things were going even-Stephen,
with each party trying to
pound out the brains of the oth
er, and it looked like the Weed
Assassin had a chance for the fi
nal count when he kicked Wag
ner out of the ropes. When Pret
ty Boy started to get into the ring
again, Pete upped his legs in the
air for his flying dropkick but
all he did was stop in mid-air
after hitting the top ring rope
and came tumbling down on
his back. George saw his chance,
climbed into the ring, put in a
couple of swats to the groin and
Pete was finished for the eve
ning. Buck Lipscomb, a meanie A-l,
tried everything in the book
against hapless well-liked Jack
Kizer of Vancouver in the semi
windup. Many times it looked
like Buck would swat his way to
an early finish but young Kizer
would return all the hair-pulling
and what have you and stay in
there pitching.
Three rounds passed with the
Vancouver lad usually on the de
fensive and finally after the
fourth bell had rung, Lipscomb
wrapped his short arms around
Kizer's head and proceeded to
swat merrily at his Adam's apple.
That finished Kizer for the eve
ning with Buck winning by one
fall. "
Herb Parks and Harold David
son fought to a draw in the open
er. Parks, nursing a beautiful sunburn-
received HERE in Klam
ath, won the first fall with an
abdominal twist or a "sucker"
hold as Parks puts it. It's a back
bender which causes quite a bit
of grief and Davidson was glad
to let it go at that.
Davidson took the other fall by
getting Herb a little groggy and
grabbing both his feet and twirl
ing -him around and dropping
him for the count.
So'' it looks like - strutting
George Wagner will tangle with
the Pacific ' coast champion,
Paavo Katonen, next week in the
main event. - That- is -the only
definite - bout announced and a
sell-out crowd is expected.
