Smoke Rings
Looking Better
By SAM RAGAN
After watching the Wildcats work out briefly yester
day afternoon we were convinced that New Hanover s
' football team looks better than it has in the past two years.
There were 50 boys out digging in as hard as they
were able and a sturdy lot they looked, too. And even it
the team is not up to the peak that Coaches Bob Black
and Rupert Bryan would like for it to be, it appears that
the boys on the 1940 eleven are fighting hard to make
the grace.
Working Hard
= They really worked yesterday
afternoon. While Bryan had the
linemen charging into each other
like a bull into an apple tree.
Black was sending the backs
through some of the plays they
. will be called on to execute this
fall.
’ In the next two weeks most of
« the rough spots will be ironed out.
And backing up the first string
that will go out on the field when
the season opens on the night of
the 20th will be ample reserves.
The ’Cats’ reserve strength is con
siderably better than in several
years.
However, if nothing else could
be said about the squad this year,
the fact remains that the boys are
working. And working hard. There
is considerably more spirit among
the boys. And after all a team
with spirit can’t be so bad.
That Pennant Race
The American league pennant
race is tighter than a morning
after head—the home stretch gal
lop being so tense that most any
thing can happen to blow the whole
■turwlrc
Just imagine it. Three teams
are so close together for the lead
that only three percentage points
separate them.
The Indians went to the fore
again yesterday when they re
mained idle and Detroit, conveni
ently enough, was nosed out by
the Red Sox. The Tigers are one
percentage point behind Cleveland
and two ahead of the Yankees—
the team everyone is afraid ol.
To call this one you would have
to be a wizard. And if you were a
wizard you would probably spend
your time at something easier than
baseball.
Odds and Ends
The laurel wreath should be ex
tended to the city firemen’s soft
ball team. . . This year was their
first attempt at an athletic team. .
In the first half they were barely
nosed out by the Senior fraternity,
but played better ball in the second
half and won that easily. . . Then
Monday night they put on the heat
and beat the Seniors for the Han
over league championship. . . .
Maurice Grissom, the guiding star
in the Coastal baseball league, is
pretty elated over the fact that the
Foy-Roe trophy has arrived and
will be presented to the Carolina
Tigers in the next few days. , . .
The managers of Billy Conn have
decided that he needs' a little more
seasoning before being fed to Joe
Louis. . . So that fight won’t come
off until possibly next spring. 1

CHAPMAN TAKES
COLF MEET MEDAL
Dunkelberger Among 64 Ama
teurs Winning Way Into
Match Play Of Tourney
MAMARONECK, N. Y., Sept. 10.
_UPI—Practice in private paid off
today as Dick Chapman, who hails
variously from New York, Phila
delphia, Greenwich, Conn., and the
Winged Foot golf, club, won the
medal in the 36 - hole qualifying
round of the 44th National Amateur
golf championship with a four-un
der-par score of 140.
Leading 64 of the country’s best
in to match play which starts to
morrow with two 18-hole rounds,
Chapman played the Winged Foot
west course in 34-36—69, three un
der par, to capture top honors by a
five-stroke margin.
While most of the others were
going higher than in their opening
rounds, Chapman cut two strokes
from his first-round performance,
and was two shots better than any
one else ior me aay.
One of the 71 shooters was V. B.
(Duff) McCullough, Jr., one of the
Philadelphia district’s best and a
former Pennsylvania state cham
pion. His fine round of 36, 35, tied
him for runner-up honors with de
fending champion Marvin (Bud)
Ward of Spokane, Wash., who shot
a 73.
At 146 were George Dawson of
Chicago, 72-74; Maurice McCarthy,
Jr., Cincinnati, 70-76; Tom White
way, Cleveland, 71-75, and Harold
Mandly, Jr., Avon, Conn., a pair
of 73’s. The other 71 man, former
public links champion Frank Straf
aci was in the next bracket at 147
with Fred Haas, Jr., former Walk
er cup performer from New Or
leans and Steve Kovah of Natrona
Heights, Pa.
Of the leading scorers only two
others were lower today than on
Monday. Hank Kowal of Indianap
olis matched par with a 72 to join
four others at 148, and Johnny
Fischer, 1936 champion from Cin
cinnati, also had a 72 for 149,
where he finished even with south
ern champion Neil White and met
ropolitan champion Johnny Burke.
Mourned almost more than any
one was Bing Crosby, -'he genial
crooner, working on a disastrous
first-round 83, made a game try
by coming home in 37 this after
noon, but by then he’d taken too
many shots and his 160 total was
five shots away from an eight
man playoff for seven places.
Winners in a one-hole playoff
were Doug Ford, Frank Rotonto of
Sacramento, Calif., Jim Oleska of
Brooklyn, N. Y., Bobby Dunker
berger of Greensboro, N. C. Toby
Lyons of Cambridge Springs, Pa.,
Charley Clare of Orange, Conn.,
and Ted Bishop of Auburndale,
Mass.
\Nats Use Triple Play
In Beating Sox, 5-2
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.— UP)—1The
Washington Senators combined a
triple play, an extra base hit at
tack and Ken Chase’s six-hit pitch
ing for a 5 to 2 victory over the
White Sox today in the first of a
two-game series.
The triple play, second in the
American league this season, came
after Taft Wright walked and Mike
Tresh singled. Bob Kennedy lined
to Jim Bloodworth who tossed to
Sherry Robertson to catch Wright.
Robertson then threw to lack San

LEFTY GROVE GOES
13-INNING ROUTE
Idle Indians Regain Lead In
Loop; Carey’s Single Drives
In Winning Run
DETROIT, Sept. 10.—Wt—Robert
Moses Grove, the aging but still
potent tiger-tamer, went the route
for the Boston Red Sox in a 13
inning baseball thriller today to
drop the Detroit tigers into second
place in the torrid American lea
gue race.
Tom Carey’s single off refliel
pitcher Alton Benton scored Joe
Cronin from second base with the
winning run to give Boston a 6 to
5 decision and Grove his seventh
victory of the season.
Detroit’s defeat restored the idle
Cleveland Indians, rained out oi
their game with the New York
Yankees, to the league leadership,
with a .5714 to .5704 margin over
the tigers. The Yankees are only
two points back of Detroit, at .568.
Old Mose’s prospects didn’t look
rosy in the first inning as the
Tigers pounced on the veteran
southpaw for three hits and as
many runs. Hank Greenberg park
ed one of Lefty’s pitches in the
upper left field pavilion with Bruce
Campbell and Charley Gehringei
on base. It was Greenberg’s thir
tieth home run of the year.
Grove who admits to an age oi
40 years in the record books, set
tled down to balnk the Tigers for
five innings while his mates peck
ed away at the Detroit lead and
finallv overcame it.
Big Louie (Bick) Newsom start
ed for Detroit, seeking his 19th
victory of the season, and ptiched
for twelve inninggs, finally retir
ing for a pinch-hitter. Benton was
charged with the defeat.
In the end it was Grove’s mas
tery over Rudy York Chunky De
troit first baseman, that decided
the game. York, whose home runs
have broken up two games in the
Tigers’ favor in the past week,
went to the plate seven times to
day and connected safely but once.
With the score tied and the bases
loaded in the ninth inning, York
hit a grounder to Cronin forcing
Greenberg at second to retire the
side. Grove fanned York for the
third out in the eleventh, with
Greenberg on first and Gehringer
on second, and struck him out
again in the thirteenth, with Camp
bell on second, for the game’s final
out.

Dodgers Purchase Alex
Kampuris From Newark
BROOKLYN, Sept. 10.— (JP) —The
Dodgers announced today they have
purchased Alex Kampouris, home
run slugger of the Newark Bears of
the International league, for an un
disclosed sum of cash and a player
to be named later.
The money involved was believed
to have been between $15,000 and
$25,000.
By selling the slick-fielding, long
hitting second baseman, today the
New York Yankee organization, of
which Newark is a unit, escaped
having Kampouris fall eligible for
the baseball draft whereby any
major league club could have claimed
him for $7,500.
Although Kampouris is batting a
modest .278, he has hit 36 home
runs, 23 doubles, four triples and
batted in 91 runs.

BUCS BEAT PHILS
IN DOUBLE SLATE
Pirates Romp Over Cellarites
11-3; 11-1; Warren ‘Bean
ed’ By Sewell
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—(>P)—
The cellar-mired Phillies lost two
hall games by lopsided scores and
their first string catcher, probably
for the remainder of the season to
day. The damage resulted from an
encounter with Frankie Frisch’s
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Buc’s belted the offerings of
Doc Prothro’s hurlers for 22 runs,
winning the first game 11 to 3 and
the second 11 to 1.
Ben Warren of the Phils was
knocked unconscious by Truette
Sewell’s fast ball while batting in
the fourth inning of the' afterpiece.
He was taken to a hospital for treat
ment of a severe concussion.
The Pirates got to Hughie Mul
cahy for< five runs in the first two
innings of the first game and bat
ted around in the third as Maurice
Van Robay’s led the attack with a
home run with two men on bases.
Mulcahy retired in the same inning
and was charged with the defeat.
The nightcap started out as a
pitchers duel, but the Pirates turned
it into a runaway when they came
up to bat in the fourth.

BAGMEN CAPTURE
SOFTBALL CROWN
Phillips Hurls Wertheimer To
10-4 Win Over Creosoters
To Sew Up Loop Title
With Cliff Phillips hurling no-hit
ball for six innings, Wertheimer
Bagmakers coasted to a 10 to 4
decision over Taylor-Colquitt last
night at the Robert Strange park
and emerged champions of the In
dependent Softball league.
The Bagmen won three and lost
one to earn the right to meet the
Spofford Spinners for the city soft
ball crown. The series, which be
gins Monday, will run three out of
five.
There will be no softball game
under the arcs tonight.
Cliff Phillips, earning a no-hit,
no-run victory in the first of the
Independent loop finals with the
Creosoters, had another sewed up
last night. For six full frames only
two men reached the bases; Julian
McKeithan walked in the first and
in the sixth Smith made second on
Hansley’s error and was sacrificed
to third.
But as the seventh started, the
Creosoters whammed the Bag
man’s ace with vengeance. Two
straight singles and doubles plus
an error earned four runs.
The Bagmen had an easy time.
They hit “Creepy” Stokley for 11
blows. “Red” Hansley got three of
them out of four times up, Char
lie Cherry gained a couple of time
ly doubles to drive in a gross oi
four men, Rudy Geischen hit for
three bases in the fifth to keep up
the hit parade and, in brief, the
Bagmon, by playing a great brqnd
of the game since the second half
started back the first of July, are
now champs of the Independent
family and are confident of taking
the city series honors and the Foy,
Roe Trophy.
The score by innings:
Wertheimer -202 123 x—10 11 3
