Seals Say Portland Will Win Flag
Wo v.nH nrrnsian to be in Portland over the weekend and we
received a first-hand opinion of
ihe return trip.
There were six memDers or
imin Boinff back to their home
leries wan me aeaiue nwiucia.
We asked these men Just what they thought
af the Beavers. Whether they were lucky, whether
the competition wasn't up to par, or whether
they were just plain good.
Tn u man. these six ball nlavers who have
played against the Lucky Beavers and have had
1 first-hand opportunity to watch them in action
laid that Portland has a fine ball team.
"They re getting the pitching,"
laid, "and they also have power at the plate.
rhH Bevos seem to be carticularly potent when
th4 chips are down and that's
ways to win a pennant that we
' now iBKe ijlSKa. saia uiio.
plenty smart. He makes up for
urlth (-antral and smart oitchina.
; Jack Tiling and Roy Helser are two other top-notch hurlers
rid thev both oitch for Portland. Frank Shone has been powder
ing the apple at a startling clip
mares are aiso nimng wen.
' We asked the Seals if they thought that Portland could main'
lain the scorching pace and capture the Pacific Coast leaque pen'
nnt. The concensus of ooinion was that the Beavers would sue
cessiully preserve their commanding lead over Seattle and bring
the bunting to Portland tor tne nrst time in years.
Wi rjointed out that it is extremelv unusual ior a ball club
tp grab the lead at the start of
tHe wav. The strain is terrific
leading nine will wilt in the stretch to be overtaken by another,
aad sometimes two or three, other ball clubs.
; The Seals didn't feel that way about it, though. "Nope, bar
ring some unforeseen injuries they should win in a walk, was
the verdict rendered by these San Francisco players, and they
should know what they re talking about,
v It all seems to add up to the fact that Portland has both hit
ting and pitching and that's an almost unbeatable combination in
baseball.
We thought we'd pass this information along to youse guys
and youse gals for what you think it's worth. But hurry, hurry,
hurry, get your bets down now it may be too late in a couple
more weeks. The Pacific Coast league championship flag may
already be flying over the Vaughn street park by that timet We
hope it is.
Cubs, Tigers Hold
Chlcaao'a nennant-mad Cubs
dearly won lead in the National loop, albeit they are being
praised slightly by the ever-dangerous St. Louis Cardinals.
"Dem Bums" did the Bruins a left-handed favor Sunday by
knocking the Cards over twice while the Cubs were dividing a
doubleheader with the lowly Phillies.
- The same thing holds true for Chicago as it does for other
leading clubs, namely, Detroit and Portland. The Cubs are getting
the pitching and, although the
have not been spectacular, they
Cavarretta, who came to the Cubs at the tender age of 17 if our
memory is correct, is another big factor for the Bruins' spurt
from the second division to first place.
Chicago is a good baseball town and always has been. The
fans are hungry for a pennant and you may rest assured that
"Jolly Cholly" Grimm will bring the flag there to fly In the
breezes of the Windy City if it is possible.
In the junior circuit Detroit is still showing the way and
glows signs of continuing to head the pack until the end of the
season.
t Once again It's pitching that has turned the trick. With Al
Senton, Hal Newhouser and Dizzy Trout to handle the starting
isignments, the Tigers have one of the best hurling staffs in the
majors. The return of Hammerin' Hank Greenberg boosted the
Bengals' stock plenty and they should make the grade.
; If both clubs can maintain their leads, it will make one honey
if a World Series Detroit vs. Chicago. And contrary to the
edicts handed down by the ODT, we bet it will be played.

Bobo Newsom
Sets Torrid
Mound Pace
PHILADELPHIA, July 24 (JP)
His 12-same losing streak behind
him, Bobo Newsom is setting a
blistering mound pace with four
straight victories in which he
has given up only 14 hits.
The diamond's "Bad Boy" be
gan the great reformation July
12 when he shut out the St.
Louis Browns on four hits. Then
he downed the Chicago White
oox witn two nits ana one run
and the Cleveland Indians with
four hits and two runs.
Yesterday, Bobo, displaying
his new knuckler and blazing
fast ball, blanked the leaeue
leading Detroit Tigers on four
nitg.
Even the nresence of Hanlc
Greenberg in the Bengals' line
up made no impression on New
som. oreenberg said before the
game, "If I didn't play, Newsom
would tell everyone in the
leaeue I was afraid to face him."
The bia outfielder had one hit
in four trips to the nlate, a sin
gle in the fourth with none out
and Hoy Cullenbine on first.
Bobo disposed of the next three
batters without allowing either
man to advance.

Marse Joe
Plans Upon
Retirement
McCarthy Won Eight Flags
And Six World Series For
Bronx Bombers; Yanks Lose
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Dark days have fallen upon
the once mighty New York Yan
kees who today are exploring
tlie unfamiliar region of the
American league's second di
vision without the guiding hand
of Manager Joe McCarthy.
Marse Jose is ou to Buffalo
for a short rest period to recon
sider a proffered resignation
that President Larry MaePhail
yesterday refused to accept.
Ill health prompted McCarthy
to decide to step down in a sur
prise move but he agreed to
think it over while undergoing a
thorough physical checkup by
his Buffalo physician and upon
the result of that examination
hinges the baseball future of the
man who won eight pennants
and six world series for the
Bronx Bombers.
Chisox Edge Yanks
While the Yankee stadium
seethed with various rumors, the
ball club itself continued to
wander about in a daze, blowing
a tough 11-innings decision to
Chicago, 1-0 to sink into the sec
ond division.
The White Sox took over third
behind Detroit and Washington
and the idle St. Louis Browns
eased past the Yanks and Boston,
tied for fifth.
After battling Bill Dietrich
down the stretch for 10 scoreless
innings, Bill (Sinker Ball) Zuber
blew up in the second overtime
session to lose the game on a
walk, two wild pitches, a scratch
infield single and his own error.
Zuber slipped on the damp turf
and fell while trying to field
Oris Hockett's drive and then
threw wildly past first as the
only run scored.
Bobo Newsom Whips Tigers
The rebirth of Bobo Newsom
of Philadelphia would be the
top baseball news of the moment,
if it weren't for the McCarthy
affair, for old Bobo helped him
self to a fourth straight decision,
1- 0, over the pace-setting Detroit
Tigers. Newsom had lost 12
straight before he shut out St.
Louis two weeks ago.
Washington missed a chance
to move within one and a half
games of the top by dropping a
2- 1 verdict to Cleveland, bowing
to Ed Klieman's five-hit pitch
ing. Pittsburgh clubbed three Bos
ton Braves hurlers for 17 hits,
four by Jim Russell, in downing
Bob Coleman's gang, 8-5. Bob
Elliott, Bill Salkeld and Russell
hit homers for the Buccos but
Tommy Holmes of the Braves
went hitless in five at bats.
St. Louis and Boston in the
American and all National league
clubs except Pittsburgh and Bos
ton enjoyed an open date.

CAMP ELLIS, 111., July 23 (IP)
Walker Cooper, former St.
Louis Cardinals' catcher, led a
home parade by ex-major
leaguers playing with Bob
Feller's Great Lakes baseball
team here yesterday.
Cooper's three homers ac
counted for seven of the 16
runs the Bluejackets scored to
1 for the Camp Ellis team. Max
Marshall, former Cincinati Reds
outfielder, belted three runs
across on his two homers. Other
circuit smashes were by Johnny
Gorsica, Detroit pitcher, and
Pinky Higgins, the'Tigers former
third baseman.

defeated Bill Nassau of Paoli,
Pa., former national veterans'
champion, 6-2, 6-0.
Tilden carried on a running
commentary for the soldiers.
Any shot short of perfection
drew apologetic murmurs from
him as he blamed it all on
"these war time balls." Wh?n
his opponent erred, Tilden
winked slyly and sighed "lucky

Minor league baseball, which

tion of a high commissioner for

late Kenesaw Mountain Landis,
now is ready to go along with
the present setup for 25 years
with reservations.
Representatives of the minors,
meeting with major league mo
guls yesterday and lost night to
discuss possible changes in the
major-minor league code, agreed
to string along with the present
commissioner setup until 1970,
with the stipulation that at any

Miller To Win

Harry Panning captured the
President's cup by defeating Stan
Miller, 2 and 1, in the finals
played Sunday at Reames.
Miller gave the new champion
a stiff battle all the way. At the
end of the first nine Miller was
one up. Panning took the next
two holes to forge into the lead,
one up. They halved 3 and 4 and
split 5 and 6. Panning then won
7, to go two up with two to play.
On No. 8 Miller missed 'a
chance to remain in the running
when he three-putted the green,
halving the hole, and giving Pan

Tho agreement to maintain
the status quo, uisoiur as tne 01
nce oi tne ouscoail commission
er is concerned, was the high
light ot tne long session during
wmch representatives ot tne ma
jors turned thumbs down on a
proposal to double the draft
price of players.
The coimnisslonershlp argu
ment arose last winter aiter Lun
dis' death. The minors, which
must abide by tho commission
er's rulings, have had no voice
in his election, and they wanted
to sit in wnen a successor to Lan
dis was chosen. Representatives
of the 16 major league clubs,
however, elected Senator A. B.
(Happy) Chandler to the post
witnout the minors having a
voice.
Tho group agreed to continue
the major-minor league agree
ment as it now stands, at least
until December, Richardson
said. Another meeting may be
called then to continue discus
sions. The present agreement,
which expired several yeors ago,
annually has been extended for
a year.
Rowland Turned Down
The majors flotly turned down
a proposal by Clarence (Pants)
Rowland, president of the Pacif
ic Coast leogue, to have the draft
price for a class AA player
raised from $7500 to $15,000.
Nothing was accomnlised
regarding the minors' desire for
better protection of territorial
