FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN VICTOR'S ARE T00 FAST FOR LEGIONNAIRES Victors treated McCallum's Legion a mighty thumping last night at dra Park when they turned a 13-2 win. Victors thus remained on top of the heap, and look like good bets to stay there the rest of the way to the wire. Johnny Lawrence Was the pitch- er for the winners, and his win was but war again in the ay 'ne adpgind in the sixth a five-hitter no mean propor- end the game with three ro ey His totals for the night were four walks and nine whiffers. Ron McGillis was the first man sent to the mound by the Legion, and he had pitching troubles right from the start. His worst time came in the top of the fifth when he allowed six runs over the platter. T'was then that Ron Fallman came into the game. He faired much better on the hill, and allowed but one run i collecting three strikeouts. McGillis had four walks and six keouts. oo tallied four runs in the first, and added singletons in the second and third. The Legion hit the score sheet in the last of the third with a single rum, when Swindells came home on an out- ag of the fifth saw that big rally of Victors come about with six men crossing the platter. Gif- ford"s double was the best hit of the inning, as Coach Sebe Claus had his boys running wild on the es. bass alluts got another run in the last of the sixth, but this was replied to, by the Victors squad in the first of the seventh when they closed their scoring with a single tally. Blg hitters for the Legion were Szikszay and Fallman, both with two-for-three averages. Jim Claus with a triple and two singles in five appearances at bat, led the winners. Gord.

These two factors have cast a cloud over a once rosy outlook. Now | only 1% games separates the In- dians from t he pursuing World Champion New York Yankees who thrashed Feller 4-0 yesterday. Cleveland now has lost eignt out of its last 12 starts while the Yanks have done the reverse. Feller allowed the Yanks only five hits yesterday but thre of them were home runs. The loss was "Rapid Robert's" . eighth against only six victories. George McQuinn, Johnny Lindell and Joe DiMaggio rifled Feller pitches out of tne park. DiMag- gio's blow was his 17th to tie him with Cleveland's Ken Keltner for the circuit lead. Vic Raschi gave up six hits to post his ninth straight triumph and fourth shutout.

At New York, Chicago and the Giants divided a twin bill the Giants winning the first game 3-2 and the Cubs the second 11-2. International League Action By The Associated Press Despite the loss of two of their best pitchers, Montreal Royals are continuing to play the best brand of ball in the International League. 'The Royals lost lefthander Paul Minner and righthander Hank Behrman via recall by the parent Brooklyn Dodgers this week, leav- ing the brunt of the mound work up to Jack Banta and rookies Don Newcombe gained his fifth vic- tory of the season last night, pit- ching the Royals to a seven-hi{ 7-1 conquest over Baltimore Orioles. The Royals combed Lyman Linde and Milks Mellis for 17 safeties in- cluding Al Gionfriddo's 13th homer of the season. The. triumph increased the Roy- als' first-place lead over the run- ner-up Newark Bears to two games. The Bears dropped a 7-5 decision to Rochester Red Wings. Tied 4-4 going into the seventh, the Wings hammered relief pitcher Johnny Maldovan for three hits and as many runs to win the game. Toronto Maple Leafs crushed the | third-place Syracuse Chiefs 9-6. Catcher Stan Lopata highlighted the Toronto victory by clouting a triple and three singles and driv- ing in two runs. He also scored four runs and stole home. Buffalo's home run-hitting Bis- ons divided a doubleheader with Jersey City Giants, winning the nightcap 12-6 after dropping the opener, 6-5. Buddy Blattner slammed two ho- mers including a two-run poke in the seventh inning that broke up the first game in favor of the Gi- ants, Coaker Triplett belted two round- trippers and drove in five runs for the Bisons in the second game. Johnny Bero and Anse Moore also hit circuit drives for the Bisons. Moore's clout was his 18th of the year.

Defeat Columbus Westmount Intermediates defeat- ed Columbus in Westmount by the score of 5-2 the other night, to keep up their win streak. The game was featured by the steady improvement of the West- mount team who gradually got more runs and took the game out of the hands of the Columbus crew. Single runs for both squads in the third inning made things look very tight, but Westmount got up out of this atmosphere with lots of punch in the top of the sixth, tally- ing three runs to give them a win- ning margin, They added a single run in the top of the seventh, but Columbus got that one back in the last of the eighth to leave the final score at 5-2. Al McKee served them up for the Westmount boys and did a fair job, while his mound opponent Summer- ville, was too wild in that one bad inning, and that spelt his defeat.

He"s more in- clined to be annoyed and irritated than Walcott. Jersey Joe has had to develop a lot of patience in his lifetime, or else he wouldn't still be trying at his age to become the champion, Fighters and fans alike are un- dergoing a feeling of anti-climax. It's like a hangover feeling without having had the alcool. Physical and mental fatigue are the outcome. The last-minute postponement was the worst feature. With the pre- diction of showers in the evening, they might better have announced early in the Afternoon that the fight probably couldn't be held. The early announcement would Haye sav everyone the anxiety ting. Fighting men like this require training to a maximum degree of readiness. A postponement whirh goes on for a few days is bound to afect their readiness. It may reauce their savageness and pitcher fervor, producing a feeling of wanting to get it over with, Olympic Rowing Trials At Henley 8t, Catharines, Ont., June 25 -- (CP)--Trials for Canada's' Olym- pic rowing team will be held over the Royal Canadian Henley course, Saturday afternoon.

After 15 years of tough world-wide competition his skill, heart, personality and sportsmanship are envied by most golfers. * * Sam Snead Has Everythi ng 2 PW 1 * By ALEX J. MORRISON Sam Snead as a golfer and per- sonality makes most golf critics and fans wonder: "How can thet guy have so much on the ball and not win almost every title in the world?" In watching all kinds of per- formers in various sports efor many years one acquires le re- spect for the man who keeps punch- ing, no matter what the odds, In golf that man is Swinging Sam. Bam first claimed at.ention by ap- pearing to be the best athlete ever to enter open golf competition. Every move he made seemed to in- dicate an unlimited dynamic force. Even at his peak Bobby Jones en- vied Snead's swing and admitted it to be tiie only one he had ever seen that he would gladly trade for his own. The same thought has been pro- portionatély strenger in the minds of golfers of much less ability than Jones. At least 50 per cent. of those following any tournament where Sam is playing prefer to watch him, win or lose, His attitude to- ward every swifig and shot is typi- cal of his whole game.

Literally, Sam doesn't let up even at the finish as shown in the deter- mined expression on his face in the remarkable picture above. I can't imagine him ever saying: "Ch, what's the use of trying?" He could have said as much on at least two notable occasions, in 1939 when he booted 'away an easy chance to win the US. Open and again in 1947 when the same title was vir- tually picked from his pocket by his failure to sink a two-foot putt.

Don Bradman 'Will Retire This Season By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, June 25.--(CP)--It's the end of the line this season for Don (The Bat) Bradman, a small, straw- cap who ' gends with a gum-tree limb for a bat. At 39 Bradman is playing out the string. When the 153rd test series between England and Australia ends in October, he'll put away his bat and blazer for good, 21 years' in cricket's big time behind him. Neville Cardus, one of Britain's leading ericket authorities, wrote feelingly on the eve of the 1948 test series: "If I were a bowjer and had com- mitted a felony, I should feel some sense of grevious miscarriage of justice if the sentence imposed condemned me to the hard labor of getting Bradman out . .." That's how seriously Englishmen take this Australian stockbroker whose 452 runs not out, stands as the highest individual score in first- class cricket; whose 334 at Lords in 1930 was a test record at the time; and who shares with England's G. B. Fry the distinction of scoring six centuries in a row. Back on English, soil now, on Australia's first Wsit since 1938, "The Bat" is up to his old tricks. In the first match at Nottingham, he scored 138 runs first time up. It was hig 28th test century and made him the first man to score 1,000 runs this year. An unorthodox batting style caused critics to jeer when he made his first appearance in big-league cricket in 1927, but the authority of Bradman's booming bat made his detractors chew their words. Soon he wag Australia's' key man as the "Diggers from Down Under"| wrested cricket supremacy from England, In 193% Arthur Whitelaw, an Aus- tralian business rman, sent Brad- man a £1,000 ($4,000) cheque "in admiration of pour wonderful per- formance."

Workman, a husky 22- year-old, can ride the ball a coun- try mile, as he proved in the west ern. regional playoffs by hitting four homers, two doubles and two | singles in 12 times up for a .667 average and knocking in eight runs. Quinn, about the best pitcher in the east, was used twice in the eas- tern playoffs, tossing a five-hit, 15 strikéout game against North Car- olina and. coming back for one re= lief inning in the final game.

For New York Again Tonight New York, June 25--(CP)--Pre- dicted late afternoon and evening showers today threatened a third postponement of the World heavy- weight boxing championship match between champion Joe Louis and challenger Jersey Joe Walcott. The two veteran fighting men are scheduled to try again in Yankee Stadium tonight at 10 p.m. EDT. The forecast for Saturday is fair and cool, The 15-round title bout will be shifted to then if conditions don't permit it tonight. The sponsoring Twentieth Cen- tury Sporting Club has through Monday to get the business out of the way. New York's Yankees come home Tuesday. Prize-fighting is against the law in New York*State on Sunday. Both fighters were in their dressing rooms last night when the area was struck by the full force of a thunderstorm. The storm hit shortly before 8 p.m. EDT and the 'fight was called off at 8:25 pm, At the time there were some 4400 paid customers, thoroughly soaked, inside the sta- dium, Louis retumed to Pompton Lakes, N. J. He sald he would get up at 7 am., today, take a hike and then motor into New York in the afternoon, Walcott remained in the city. He planned some limbering up exer- ciges at his mid-town hotel. The promoters said they expected the gate to be boosted rather than hurt by the interruptions. They re- ported $850,000 already in the till with receipts certain' to go over $900,000. The champion appeared glum but he took the postponement philoso- phically. "I don't think it will both- er me any more than it does him," he sald. Felix Bocchicchio, Walcott"s spon- '80r, said the challenger felt fine and was unaffected by the delay. In some corners of the Louis camp they whisper tales from the record book: About that first Louis- Max Schmelling fight and abeut the Louis<Tommy Farr go. On a mid-June night in 1936, the Louis-Schmeling bout was delayed one day by rain. The next day, the champion-to-be was not only knocked out for the first and only time in his career, but he was bru- tally beaten up. The champion had better luck in his first defence of the title a year later against the Welsh coal miner. But even then, the delay of four {days didn't help the 23-year-old | bomber of the day. He went the | whole fifteen rounds against Farr 'and managed a slim decision that was a great disappointment to his millions of fans. The New York State Athletic Commission waived its ruling about a second weigh-in following the 48-hour delay. TOMORROW!
