NEWAR REGAIS BLTERNG PAC Bears Only Fooling During | Slump—Win 7 Straight, Boost Lead to 22, | By the Associated Press. UST when it seemed the other clubs in the International League had found a way to stop the Newark Bears. it appears the Bruins were only fooling. There isn't much incentive for a team to go out and hustle when it's 18 games in front of the field. So when the Bears passed the half-way mark of the campaign with that much of a lead over Montreal, they began to go into a slump. For a couple of weeks they played under the .500 mark and the other clubs were beginning to perk up. But it seems the Bears were only fooling. Win Seven in Row.

The Bears hung up victory No. 7 yesterday with a 4-2 win over Buffalo Joe Beggs, Newark fledgling, garnered his fifteenth win of the season with a five-hit performance and Babe Dahl- gren rammed out his sixteenth homer of the year, Griffs’ Records BATTING. cosmnEaRiie os35203 EETPCYEORN 055599323 H s g @ OO0t ¥ ol 238 5288 30208 RRZ23V SR ors mtzisQ EEIRCERY et Jetcy-¥-3 PYTeE R ery ol .

What's more, neither Billy nor Stock have been beaten all year by any but the best, and then not without a struggle. Both bowed to Melvin Tarpley, ulti- mate finalist in the public parks Ray got to the quarter finals of the District tourna- ment before being beaten by Hugh Lynch, another eventual finalist, while Billy was beaten only by the vete Tom Mangan in the same tourne; And Contreras gave Barney Welsh quite a battle in the city of Wash- ington tournament and was rewarded by hearing the champ pronounce him as one of the best young players in the District.

Then, Breese—a new sensa- tion—walloped Dooly in straight sets, but from the way in which the two have progressed through the current competition, Mitchell must be ad- judged a slight favorite. In every one of his three matches, Breese has been forced to play at least one long set, Bob Loney ex- tended him to a 11—9 score, Elwood Hoffecker sent him to 9—7 and Stock- linski carried him to 13—11 in the first of their two sets. Mitchell, on the other hand, has won three matches with ease, As - usual, yesterday produced one outstanding match among the three played. That was the Goeltz-Jimmy Farrin encounter, in which the lat- | ter, & young lieutenant of the Navy Leech Cup team, surprised all by car- | rying the sole out-of-town survivor to three sets before bowing. The The scores were 6—4, 7—9, 6—2. Far- rin's aggressiveness, best exemplified his willingness to take the net behind his serve, paid dividends, the 29-year-old graduate of the Naval Academy time and again volleying for | placements. Goeltz outsteadied him |in a late baseline duel, however, to grab the quarter-final berth. Treasury on Top Again.
