SATURDAYK AUGUST 25, |945 DOZEN WHIFFS PROVE FELLER STILL MIGHTY| - Rapid Robm's Return Shifts Indian Info Win Column (By The Associated Press) Bob Feller stood on the thresh- hold of baseball immortality today after proving that his pre-war brilliance was unharmed by 44 months in the service of his coun- try. Blazing Bob raised. his sensa- ticnal life-time strike-out total to 1,245 vietims last night as he whiffed 12 of the league-leading Detroit Tigers for an easy 4 to 2 victory—the one hundred and eighth of his stellar career. Feller was more cautious, more deliberate than before as he mowed down Detroit batsmen with amazing regularity to snap the Cleveland Indians’ five-game losing streak. Washington advanced to within a half game of the top by mereh! sitting in a hotel room and plan- | today's | ning their strategy for doubleheader against the Yankees after yesterday’s game was rained out. Al Hollingsworth, hot(e<t Au;:us(‘ pitcher in the circuit, earned his | fifth straight and ninth. of the| year for St. Louis at Chicago’s ex- | pense, 3-1, as the Brownies took third place, seven games out of the i lead. It was a 'bad day for Chicago in its associations with the St. Louis Ruffians, for in the National League the tattered Cardinals put a snag in the Cubs’ world series | plans by a 1-0 stopper in the opener of a big three-game series. Harry Brecheen, completely re- | covered from arm trouble and one | of the league’s best southpaws,| blanked the Bruins with four hits while the Red Birds took advant- age of an error to ruin Hank Borowy's three-hit chucking. Cincinnati pulled out of a six- game losing drive by defeating Pittsburgh, 2-1. The veteran Ed Heusser scattered eight hits to de- cision Nick Strincevich. A New York at Brooklyn game in the National was washed into a double-header today as was a Boston at Philadelphia tilt. GAMES FRIDAY (American League) Cleveland, 4; Detroit, 2.

Bishop (R.) of Illinois carries with it an unusual prerequisite. The secretary willing, the con- gressman will design her dresses for her. For Congressman Bishop, who prefers to be addressed by his friends as “Rumt,” is known to his colleagues as the best tailor in Congress, a man who is always willing to oblige by sewing on a loose button or designing a suit. Tailoring is only one of the many hobbies practiced by mem- bers of the House of Representa- tives. | Should you visit Washington and notice a well-built, bald-pated man striding briskly around the Capitol groux\dSvth'lt is the speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn (D.) of Texas, having his daily constitu- tional. Brisk Walk Every Day With the early morning mail out of the way, the speaker prepares himself for the morning arduous duties that confront him later by taking a brisk walk outside his office. When you visit the House of Representatives, you may notice a short, slightly-built man address- ing the chamber, Rep. Clare Hoff- man (R.) of Michigan. Look close- ly and you will note that there are no pockets in his suit. It seems- that 20 years ago in his home town of Allegan, Mich., Representative Hoffman was argu- ing an important case before a jury when he reached the crucial moment when a paper he had pre- pared beforehand should be pre- sented for the edification of his} hearers. But search his pockets hard as he might, the paper was not to be found. “I have never had a pocket in my clothes since then,” says Hoff- man. There was a time not long ago AP SPORTS KOUNDUP NEW YORK, Aug. 25 — Rocky the kick of a mule in his ngh(\ hand, is boxing’s latest million- | dellar baby.

Clare Hoffman speaks many languages and began his career as a telegraph messer- ger boy. The House boasts also a “"doz tor of aeronautical science.” He is Rep. Jennings Randolph (D.). of West Virginia, an ardent aviation enthusiast and head of the Can- gressional Flying club. Rep. W. R. Poage (D.) of Texas is a lawyer in private life, but Lis heart hungers for the soil. To as- suage it he has his own “plania- tion” at his w:uhmgton home. There it is nothing unusual for early morning risers to see the Texas congressman puttering around. His favorite crop is cotton and Poage will assure you that it can be grown in the nation’s capi- tal as well as the deep south, The Waco attorney recently put his hobby to good use when he spearheaded a Dill through the House to provide a government subsidy for growers of guayule used as a synthetic rubber. Gardens In His Office In a smaller way, Representa- tive Hoffman is not to be outdonc when it comes to’'gardening, al- though the Michigan Republican confines his work to his office. There visitors can view the con- gressman’s own victory garden where he grows tomato plants. The varied bird life to be seen on the spacious grounds of the Capitol has no more ardent ad- mirer than Rep. John E. Rankin (D.) of Mississippi, perhaps the greatest bird fancier in Congress. An then, of course, there are the usual book collectors, such as Rep. Joseph R. Bryson (D.) of South Carolina, chief exponent of prohi- bition in the House, and pipe col- lectors, such as Reps. Sam Hobbs (D.) of Alabama and Paul W. Shafer (R.) of Michigan. All in all, it is difficult to find a congressman without a hobby, even ' if it’s only a desire to get away on a nice day and do a little fishing. You can coupt Speaker Rayburn in on that.
