Everything Happens To Wally
We have been hearing yowla all week over the fiasco that
occurred on Friday night's rassling card when Referee Wally Moss
counted Jack Lipscomb out while Antone Leone had both feet
"hooked in the ropes.
The win was a fluke victory for Leone, we admit, but we
contend that Wally snouian'l De neia 10 account
too much. After all, the guy doesn't have eyes
In the back of his head and can't watch a man s
shoulders and his feet at the same time.
Offhand, we can think of no more thankless
task than refereeing a rassling tiff. Even if you're
right you're a bum and if you do make a flagrant
jnistake the wolves are at your door in nothing
flat
f Considering the fact that Wally was arbitrat
lng the clambake Friday with three broken ribs,
-we feel that there is plenty of room for leniency.
X The two guvs who were slapping each other
"around the ring" were two of the meanest maulers
Km the circuit and we applaud Vi ally lor standing HAINES
-pat on his decision.
t This Friday the same two gladiators will mix it up in a re
Imatch and we are content to view the action from the compare
:tive safety of the ringside. In fact, we wouldn't get in the ring
-for a carton of Camels.
5 Lipscomb will enter the ring with the express purpose of
rtaking Leone apart. No time will be wasted in frivolous antics.
'Buck intends to go to work in earnest from the minute he enters
the square until Leone is carted out in a wooden overcoat.
r We understand that Lipscomb has requested another referee,
""for the fight and we think that he should have his request grant
ed. Promoter Mack Lillard could assign one of the other grapplers
tto the role of arbitrator and then everyone would be happy, in-S-cluding
Wally.
However, we will wager six, two, and even that if this Is done
fthe fans will welcome Wally back with open arms. One thing
Ehas been established time and again, and that is that rasslers
fchad better stick to their trade.
L We have never yet seen one of the bicep boys who could turn
Cm an even mediocre job of refereeing. They leap around like
jiangaroos on stilts and might as well be non-existent for all the
"good they are.
I- So there may be another referee in the main tiff Friday night,
sand don't say we didn't warn you.

in the final round for the men's
eastern tennis championships
next weeKena.
The two veteran netmen, Sid
ney B. Wood and Frank X.
Shields, both of New York, who
were rivals in the 1930 Wimble

won, each advanced a notch yes
terday in their quest for their
first tennis championship in

Shields seeded No.' 4. in the
men's singles, jumped ahead of
the field, advancing to the quar
ter final round by eliminating
Leo Johnson of Detroit, 8-3, 6-0.
Wood, like Shields a former
Davis Cup star and seeded No.

defeat Henry Osten, 5-7, 6-3, 6-1,
to move into the fourth round.

Double Knockout Puts Nat
In Fourth Place; Cardinals
Muff Chance To Win Game
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Washington's pennant boom
collapsed like a house of cards
today as the Senators picked
themselves up off the floor and
tried to dust off the humiliation
of losing two straight double-
headers.
Detroit came into town last
night for the opening battles of
the year's first "crooshul" series
and dropped the Nats to their
knees on a pair of superior
pitching jobs by Hal Newhouser
and Al Benton.
Newhouser copped No. 14 of
ine season m a 0-4 opener de
spite a streak of wildness and
Benton avenged his only defeat
by earning his eighth verdict at
.Marino Pieretti s expense, 5-0.
Slio to Fourth
The double knockout dropped
Washington from second to
fourth and boosted Detroit's
first place margin to 41 games.
Joe Cronin brought Boston
home in fifth place but they
proceeded to taKe three from
the Tisers and pull up into the
race. Trouble against Cleveland
which took two or three was
corrected when Dave Ferriss
went out to face Chicago in the
series opener yesterday after
noon. Ferriss, beaten only by the
Yankees, who did the job twice,
rocketed to his 16th pitching
triumph and his seventh in suc
cession by trimming Chicago, b-Z.
Boston moved past Washing
ton into a percentage tie with
the new York Yankee, who
were rained out of a double
header with St. Louis.
Cleveland and Philadelphia
battled for two hours and 35
minutes but had nothing bet
ter than a 2-2 tie to show for
their efforts as rain intervened
in the top of the 13th inning
and -washed out a scheduled sec
ond tilt. They will try it again
tonight.
Cards Blow Chance
The St. Louis Cardinals blew
a chance to pick up a full game
on the National league leading
Chicago Cubs when they drop
ped the second of two to the
Phillies, 5-4. The Red Birds load
ed the bases in the last of the
ninth but couldn't quite make
the grade and so remained three
tilts behind the Bruins and only
a half game in front of Brook
lyn. The world champs routed
the Phils, 7-3, In the first game
for Blix Donnelly's fifth suc
cess.
The Dodgers came off with
an even split in Chicago before
42,047 paying fans, largest week
day Wrigley field turnout in 15
years. After succumbing to Ray
Prim's wiles in the first tilt, 5-0,
the Bums ruined Lon Varneko's
comeback, clubbing five Cub
pitchers for 12 hits and a 9-5
evener.
Only change in the National
standings resulted when the
New York Giants, who hadn't
won at Forbes field all year,
did it twice in one day and pull
ed past the Pirates into fourth
place on 6-3 and 4-3 verdicts.
Danny Gardella's three-run
homer, the only round tripper
of the day in the majors, did
the job in the first.
The Boston at Cincinnati tilt
was put off until later in the
season because of transportation
problems.

Jimmin Luncefora and his

ford will follow the itlnerory
scheduled for his second Eur
opean tour, which was ab
ruptly canceled on August 30,
1939.
Such consistent popularity
at home and abroad is the
result of Luncoford's musi
cianship and his refusal to
compromise between current
fads and what he knows is
rlfiht for Ills band. Regular
nationwide tours Including
both theatre dates and the
arduous but profitable "ono-nlghlnrs"-have
brought his
"muslclBiia music" wldo
favor. His records for Decca
have a big and steady sale,
with an occasional standout
like "Blues in the Night"
(which he Introduced In the
film of that title) hitting the
top.
Interested mainly In his

of his private life. Born In

Oxley)
Many people think of Jim-
mle Lunccford as having
band that can only Jump.
This Isn't the case at all.
Lunceford's band can turn
out a lively and melodic
brand of stuff, loo. There are
a number of smooth tunes In
the library that the guys do
excellently. Moestro has good
arrangements and fine musi
cians to play them.
Lunccford fronts well. H.s
pleasing personality is for the
payees. But to the crew, he's
a leader who holds his music
light and gels the most out
of the arrangements. When
he. settles down to do one of
his numbers, the patron may
either danco or listen. The
music Is designed for both.
A new addition lo tho out
fit hero is Nick Brooks, voca
list. While Brooks Isn't in the
groovo far enough for the
band to follow on some of the
arrangements, the music boys
take it slowly, giving him
evory break. Ho barles In an
okay fashion, and after a few
more weeks with the outfit,
should be knocking it off In
oven n better fashion.
Brooks' handling of "I
Should Care," with Russell
Green on trumpet, and a
Jump tunc, with Joe Thomas
on tenor, come in for plenty
hand, Another sax man of
whom Lunccford can bo JusU
ly proud la Kurt Bradford,
olto.
Joe Marshall, on drums, Is
an asset. Ho works hard and
gives out with a good beat.
Enrl Hardy, on tram, is called
on for spotlighted parts.
Lunceford can satisfy
dancersand does.
