Redbirds Take
National Lead
By Th. Associated Pr.ss
Brooklvn'i fond dtoam of 1046 pennant has exploded into
t grisly nightmare today with the Cardinals back in first place
and the Dodgers on a six-game losing bingle.
Seven games ahead on the July 4 dividing line, the Dodgers
have crashed toward their doom on a fatal western jaunt while
St. Louis, safe al home, has eaten up the entire lead and forged
ahead by a half game. , ,,
All is not lost lor the gowanus faithful if the Brooks can pull
out of the tailspin before it becomes a habit, for the Red Birds
still have two long eastern tours before the curtain drops.
The discouraging factor to the Brooks is the certain fact that
St. Louis appears to be leveling p
otf lor anoincr 01 us lainuua
stretch drives.
The Phillies, who kept St.
Louis out of first place Wcdnes
day, fought hard to bar the door
last night but finally succumbed
B-4. It was the first time the
Cards had undisputed posses
sion of the lead since they
bowed to the Phils May 21 and
dropped down into a tie with
Brooklyn.

Zale-Groxiano Fight
Tony Zale. long one of my
favorite fighters, looks very
much due to get his block
knocked off next Thursday
night when he goes into the
ring against Rockaby Rocky
Gradano, a lad who can really
hit.
.Zale cur
rently is the
cham
pion and likes
to compare
himself to Joe
Louis they're
both 32 years
old and both
were in the
service about
the same time.
1 suppose, to
further the
c o m p a rison.
you can add
that neither Louis nor Zale is
going by his true last name.
Louis' legal moniker is Bar
row, as everyone knows, and
Zale's is Zaleski. But there the
comparison about ends, because
even Tony's grandmother does
n't think Zale can hit like
Louis.
He weighs at or around 160
pounds, is 5 foot 8, and has
scored 50 knockouts in 93
bouts. His face is beginning to
look like he makes a living in
the ring.
Zale was in the navy as a
chief specialist something or
other in Gene Tunncy's physi
cal training outfit, which does
n't rate him very many points
in this corner.
Before he went into the navy,
he fought out of a crouch, bob
bing and weaving, and fought
for points though getting his
share of knockouts. Since com
ing out of the service Zale has
had a half-dozen fights, stood
straight up and won them all
by knockouts.
So much for Tony. He goes
in against Rocky Graziano, a
terrific . puncher who has
mowed his way through the
welterweight division and is
now taking on someone his
own size. The fight, in Madison
Square Garden is expected to
draw a half-million berries at
the gate, and it looks as though.
uraziano is going to take Tony
right on into" camp.
...
We're beginning to wonder
if Klamath isn't slightly jinxed
in competing against Medford
in sports. Football, basketball
and now baseball. Is it ever
going to end?
Clyde Carlstrom is a good
friend of mine, but I'm still try
ing to figure out why Mel Car
penter didn't pull Clyde out of
the game when he got the tying
run against him on base in the
eighth inning of Wednesday
night's game. He had Frannie
Miller and Jimmie West 'both
in the game.
. .
Also not in the sports line,
Gabriel Heatter on the radio
last night remarked to the ef
fect that the "man with the red
galoshes" was headed back to
the governor's mansion of
Georgia. Gabe might not know
it, but it's red galluses, not ga
loshes, that Gene Talmadge
wears.
Galoshes you wear to paddle
around in the mud and snow;
galluses, ye durn fool Gabe, are
for to hold yer pants up.

The four-hit pitching of Dassu,

reported "alarming trend" to
ward semi - professionalism in
college athletics will be studied
here next Monday and Tuesday
by representatives of 16 major
college athletics conferences.
The meeting, considered one
of the most important develop
ments in administration of post
war intercollegiate sports, was
called by K. L. Wilson, commis
sioner of the western conference
and secretary of the National
Collegiate Athletic association.
The NCAA will hold a sepa
rate meeting after the assembly
of the 16 conferences.
Wilson said he hoped the con
ference representatives would
reach an agreement on "uni
form practices that are in ac
cord with the fundamental prin
ciples we share." He added:
"There has become evident
an alarming trend which could
well wreck our whole purpose
of amateurism if it is not check
ed. That is the picture of col
leee athletics seeking out the
iboy instead of the boy seeking
out college atniciics.
"The result leads to a stale
of semi - professionalism which
distorts the whole conception of
athletics as a part of education.
Therefore the paramount issue
before the meeting is the future
of the spirit of amateurism in
intercollegiate athletics."

Los Angeles Angels, who shad
ed the challenging Oakland
Acorns 7 (1, leaving Ihein half a
game below the top rung.
Los Angeles found the route
tough against the Acorns and
had to stem a ninth-inning rally
to nose them out. With Oakland
men on first and third and one
out, relief Pitcher Jess Ooher
nic whiffed pinch-hitter Damon
Hayes and Shortstop Arty Uiggs
to end the threat.
Eddy Zipay, Sacramento So

night at bat in five turns, and
his fifth hit drove home the win
