P. O. E’s moved into a tie for the lead with the Douglas Island- ers. Just too wild for the Moose clout- ers to toe-in against him, but not quite too wild to put them in there in the clutches, Red Russell proved too much pitcher for the Black Sox, holding them to a pair of safeties through the battle. On two occas- jons, lack of control led Russell to move some Moose into scoring posi- tion, but they never were able to work far enough around to count. Moose Blow Chance The Moose blew their big op- portunity in the abbreviated Sun- day contest when a double-steal a tempt fizzled, and with two down Kelly Blake was nipped between third and the home station. Opening with a three-bagger, El- lenberg crossed with the first Elk run almost immediately afterward, counting on Bell's infield out. ‘Though scoreless in the second in- ning, the Elks hit Moose Hurler Lefty Smith with freedom and gus- to and belted him to the bench in the third when Bob Waldron spank- ed a high outside cripple over the fence with Ellenberg clomping around the paths ahead of him. Roy Sogaard then took over the mound for the Moose from the fourth frame on and the Paps were no longer annoyed by Elk runners on the bases. The game was called with a few hours’ notice owing to the “rift” in the weather. TH MOOSE Schmitz, 2b. Marquardt, ss. Kimball, cf. Snow, 1b. Werner, 3b. Grummett, 1f. Sogaard, p.-rf. Blake, c.

The Rainiers capped the second split week with a double triumph over the Senators while the second place Los Angeles Angels dropped a pair Sunday to the lowly Oakland Acorns. A ninth-inning tally gave the Rainiers the victory in the first game and in the nightcap Les Web- ber gave up only five widely scat- tered hits. Oakland’'s Manager, Johnny Ver- gez, cracked out a homer with two on deck in the fifth inning to give the Acorns the first victory and in the second game the Acorns pushed across four runs in the final frame.

Gal Storms Gates Announcement of Ladies’ Day, REDS LOSE OUT! THAT IS GREAT LAUGH IN CINCY By JOHN FRYE AP Feature Service CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 21.— It's all cut and dried here now, the Reds are in and the only question is, “Do we win the first World Series game with Walters or Der- ringer, or should we let Gene| Thompson do it?” Speak NOT of Pittsburgh, where there are tickets still available for the series they didn't play. That ' means nothing to Joe Fan-in-the- street, who knows only that the Queen City of the West has sprout- ed a crop of 20-year wonders.

Pastor may be like the proverbia | gent who whistled in the graveyard but he talks a great fight and his reasoning does not sound illogical First, Pastor points to the fact' that when he met Louis the first time he had engaged in only 23 figh by a ' Levy, Aren’t Worried | Joe, who is still! ts and was appearing in only his third 10-round engagement. “I have fought many 10 round- ers since that fight,” says Pastor. Bob also points to his inexperi- ence in 1937 and claims to have improved “100 percent.” Also, Pastor will carry more weight into the ring this time. In his first bout with Louis the ex- New York University footballer weighed 179 pounds. His fighting weight now is around 190, which | means he will be outweighed by not more than 10 or 11 pounds. Four Punches and Okay “In that first fight Joe hit me solidly four times and I took the punches in good shape,” Pastor says. “That's more than most of Louis' opponents have been able to do and a majority of them were groggy after one punch.” Pastor did his preliminary train- ing at Saratoga, N. Y, and ap- peared August 20 at his Michigan camp. Louis is following custom land 1s at his camp at Stevensville, Mich : Like Pastor, he will move to. a camp near Detroit at once. Meanwhile, plans for converting Briggs Stadium, the home of the Detroit Tigers, into a boxing arena have been completed by Lionel architect for Promoter Mi- chael Strauss Jacobs. The park will seat 80,000 for the fight. e SIX NEW SUBS TOSTRENGTHEN ASIATIC FLEE WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. — The Navy announced plans today “to strengthen the Asiatic fleet soon by displacing six World War sub- marines in service in the Far Epst with six larger and more power- ful craft. : Officials said the move was rof- tine and in no sense representi- tive of a general reinforcement. of American strength in the Far East g Iy Iy PO —— | - .
