(UBS CHASE TOWARDTOP, GREAT FORM Feller Pikhfiine Innings Without Walking Man -His Record | (By Associated Press) Laughing boys from the Wrigley Field, who have just taken the last four of the five games, are stirring wonder as to whether they are once again readying to stretch a drive to ruin the sleep of the National Leagut leaders in the clos- ing days of the season. t'he Chicago Cubs have scored 39 runs in the five games played, top- ping it with a gaudy decision over the Giants yesterday by a''score of 14 to 1. Lefty Larry French was the big noise _yesterday, tossing a ''Seven- hitter and also knocking hom¢ four runs with three singles. Reds Win Again Meanwhile the leading Cincin- nati Reds again humbled the Phil- lies with three singles and light- ing the fuse under Kirby Higbe in the seventh inning and scoring four runs in yesterday's game. 10 Inning Tie Terry Moore’s two homers ' high- lighted the ten-inning tie yesterday between the St. Louis and Brook- lyn teams. The game was stopped by a heavy, rainfall. Athletics Win Game The Athletics turned up with a win over Detroit yesterday and shaved the Jatter's lead. Senators Walloped Cleveland went out on the field 3| yesterday and walloped the Wash- on Senators with a 20-hit at-| Feller went the nine innings with- out walking a man for the first time in his career. Yanks Show Fire The Yankees showed their old fire yesterday by whipping the Chicago White Sox. Chandler pitched a five-hitter and also got two home drives during the game.

The young- |ster has been named Arthur Wiliam Beers. The Beers are former residents of Juneau and well known here. They have another child, a daughter, | Martha, aged four years.

TRAMBITAS BOYS TAKE ~ MITT WINS Fencing, boxing, and wrostling— | fans liked it all when they booed | and cheered last night in the A. B Rink.

LOUIS—You notice his hands Nippon fencing, fans got a rare treat spendlove got the first fall in the 4th round with a double reverse arm lock or something. Morrison got the sccond fall with a full Nelson, and Spendlove put the bout away with | a body slam and a body press Spendlove won the fight last] night, but after an early round, he was a gory mess, blood flowing stead- ily from a gach over his left eye and covering both ters. After the| fight he had seven stitches taken in the cut. In the last boxing match of the evening, Jack Trambit outclassed Frankie Wilson handily, although| he was at times harried badly by | wilson's strange leaping one-two "attack that lost energy as the fight wore on In the tifth, Wilson went down with a punch behind the ear, land- ing on his knees. In the sixth, he went down twice for nine counts, but was still trying to fight at the end of the battle. Red Wally was no match for Larry Trambitas. He got in very few punches and had poor luck in de- fending himself. Wally was hurt in the first round of the four canto fight, and was hammered to his knees for the count of seven in the second. In the third, he went down for five counts, refused to take the full breather and came up bloody to keep on battling, but a right to the jaw put him down again and Sammy Nelson stopped the fight. Biggest surprise of the evening was handed fans in the first bout when Hank Brouillette and John Beltran battled briefly. Broeuillette, coming into the ring with an injured hand, surprised everyone by fighting a two handed battle from the bell. Beltran, usually shifty, walked right into a left and came back for another without his touted ability tc move out of the way. A third solid blow rocked Beltran badly and in a flurry of one-twos he sagged through the ropes. Helped back in, he turned to fight and was smashed steadily downward stop- ping no blows at all when Sammy Nelson stepped the fight. Sammy Nelson refereed the first two fights, Johnny Harris, the main event, and Eddie Roberts the wrest- ling card. | It was announced from the ring by promoter Slugger Weaver last night that Billy McCann, welter- weight champion of Alaska, will de- fend his title here against Lou Novose of Sitka, recoznized as some- what of a champion in that district. In the Labor Day bout, Sammy | Nelson goes up against Billy Mc- Cann if he can get his weight down. | John Tanaka, bigger and older brother of little Bill Tanaka, best- {ed his brother in a Japanese club-| 1‘1'1:50, known as fencing and after the bout, instructor Harry Inouya show- ed fans how quick the hand may be in fencing.

They're large capable hands, with long, bony fingers, and his wrists are strong and flexible A look at those hands helbs you realize why Martin Marion of the St. Louis Cardinals is such an adept, sure fielder at shortstop. A baseball disappears in the rookie's grasp. Marion, only 22 years old, had played regularly from the time he attended d tryout camp at anP_l and signed a contract with the | Cardinal organization until an in- jury laid him up for a week or so this spring. | It's a wonder he’s playing baseball | at all, When he was 10 years old, he fell| and broke his right thigh bone. The fracture knitted improperly. For a year, Martin was In a hospital bed | and for another year he used crutch- | es. His mother was against baseball| after that because she was afraid he'd get hurt again, but the boyi wanted to play and he did. At Tech High in Atlanta, Ma- rion had his biggest baseball thrill, hitting a home run with two men on base to defeat Boys High, 3 to 0. The Boys High pitcher was Jim| Bagby, now with the Boston Red| Sox. | Marion has three brothers, and| two of them are also professional | bascball players—Roy with San-| ford, Fla., and John with Green-| ville, 8. C. Crack Draftsman Marion says, with shy pride, that when he left High School he was the best draftsman Tech had turned out in years and he was determin- ed to go on to college. A high school teammate, Johnny Echols, was re- sponsible for the change in Mar- jon's plans. Echols wanted to go to the try-| ot camp at Rome in 1935 and he asked Marion to go with him. The boys reached camp during the last two days and Marion played only an inning or two. Scouts saw pos- sibilities in the gangling young- ster and offered him a contract. Marion first turned it down be- cause of his college plans and it was several months before he sign- ed. The lanky, underweight youth— he's 6 feet 2 inches tall now and weighs 168 pounds—was assigned to the Huntington, W. Va., club of the Middle Atlantic League for the 1936 season. Only 18 yars old, he was homesick. He rememberd with a grin that he started off so poorly a sports writer referred to him as a “truckhorse.” But before the sea- son was over, he was fielding with a graceful prowess. From the Class C Huntington club, the Cardinals jumped Marion all the way to the Class AA Rochester team of the International League in 1937, quite a jump. “As a matter of fact,” Marion ad- mitted with candor unusual in a ballplayer, “it was too big a jump. But Ray Blades, Rochester man- ager then, liked me and kept me around.” Marion played shortstop regularly at Rochester for three seasons and this year made the big step to the major leagues. “He's a fine defensive shortstop,” of the Cardinals last year. “If he hits .250 against National League pitching he will help us.” Marion prefers fielding to bat- ting. In a questionnaire sent out by the Cardinals in 1936, and again in 1937, he said hitting was the “toughest” thing for him to do in baseball. Patient coaching at Rochester, batting average from .246 in 1937 to .272 last year. Now, under the tutelage of Mike Gonrales, the Cardinals’ shrewd Cuban coach, Marion is showing power at bat. He needs about 10 or 20 pounds more on his spare frame. Gonzales believes, “to hit them over anybody's head, you see what I say.” Preventing a run by the oppos-| LLY GIRLS- |Charges Ar'éirF‘i led with As Green Flayed C.1.O.
