The results were: Williams recuperated somewhat in the intermission but he was still groggy when he came back and before long Watson fioored him with boneâ€" crushing bearâ€"hug. The second fall was all over in three and a half minutes. The "Maskea Wolf" looked like the toughest man in the bunch wher he came out in the «semiâ€"final. He was entirely covered with a black cloth and his face was covered with a mask of the same material. Me was a great big fellow weighing 250 lbs. and alil muscle. Lee MHenning, his 234 lb. opâ€" ponent from Zowa took a lot of poundâ€" ing before he was filoored in about fifteen minutes.

Kirkland Lake, July 30â€"Wright Harâ€" greaves:â€"climbed to within half a game of the leagueâ€"leading Toburn Beavers here on Monday afternoon, when they took a 2â€"0 decision from Lake Shore in a scheduled Sortherr section Temisâ€" kaming Baseb«.:: League game. With the acquisition of Lennie Meâ€"‘ rullo,,;«youthful shortstop, the Toronto Leafs now look stronger than they‘ have at any time since the season opâ€": ened. All season long it has been said of the Leafs that the other clubs didn‘t beat: them, they beat themselves. They: ‘have{lostthirtyâ€"three games to date by. the margin of a single run, and most: of those losses can be traced to "boots"‘ at shortstop. I#f they had won those games, they would now ‘be in second. Merullo, already a big favourite in Toronto,can run like a rabbit has good hands, a rifie arm and a fine comâ€" petitive temperament. He is a graduâ€" ate of Villanova College where he also played hockey. His contract is owned by the. Chicago Cubs, who shifted him to the Leafs from Los Angeles. He is twentyâ€"two years old. The loss dropped Lake Shore oneâ€" andâ€"half games behind the Hargreaves‘ nine in third place. Wright Hargreaves‘ hitters continued the hot pace they are setting in this section of the T. B. L. In the last two weeks they have advanced their team plate average from the worst in the circuit to a .269 clip which is the top effort at the present time. The winners scored all their runs in the second inning, when they bunched three hits off Grant Clark‘s offerings to win the game in the early stage. Axsmith walked and was sacrificed to second by Privett. He stole third and scored on Anderson‘s hard drive to second. Anderson went to third on Roach‘s single to centre, and scored when Price Planted a ‘hit into the same field.

Ben Hogan carded 280, bringâ€" ing to 52 the number of consecutive f{ourneys in which this game‘s leading money winner has finished in the cash. * ~New York Giants parent club of the Little Giants, have strengthened their Jersey ‘City offâ€"spring in the latter‘s bid for a playoff spot by turning Nick Whitek over to them. The Polish lad from Pennsylvania was something of a disappointment to Bill Terry, who had figured him to succeed Burgess Whiteâ€" head. © But Nick didn‘t hit well enough to satisfy major ~requirements. He will undoubtedly help the Jersey City Club, as he proved himself a standout in Doubleâ€"A company when ‘he was with Newark in 1939. The Little Giants incidentally, have starry young infielder in Sid Gordon, who may get his chance on top next spring. The Giants have been searching for years for a Jewish ballplayer who would ‘be big box office in New York. They failed first with Andy Cohen, and later with Snooker Arnovich. Gordon may be the percentage player they‘re looking for. Toronto is in for a Stretch of Home Games for a While In 'all. 20 players smashed Keller‘s par of 288 for the route.
