Reds Smoothing National Flag Path as American Race Nears Two-Club Stage

Win, Lose or Draw

They'll Be Beating the Tubs for Blozis
By way of getting away from the weather for a few moments, it is
quite a tub-thumping campaign which the sons of Georgetown plan to
put on for A1 Blozis this fall. The idea, of course, is to sell A1 to a ma
jority of the all-America selectors as a tackle.
Only once has a Washington collegian ever made the All-America,
although a lot of first-rate football players like Ray Foley and Tommy
Whelan of Catholic U., A1 Woods and Untz Brewer of Maryland^ Tuffy
Leemans and Bob Nowaskey of George Washington and Jack Hagerty
and Jack Flavin were good enough. The only man to make the grade
was Harry (Babe) Connaughton, the mountainous Georgetown lineman.
He made it in 1927.
But selling Blozis may not be impossible. Six feet 6 inches tall and
Weighing 240 pounds, the junior-to-be from Jersey City already is known
from coast to coast as a superb athlete and the greatest shot-putter in
the world. Had there been the Olympic games he would have been a
cinch to win his* specialty and, perhaps, the discus as well.
* .
Part of the Battle Already Is Won
Probably nine-tenths of the battle for All-America laurels centers
around a press agent's ability to make critics, coaches and public familiar
with a name and to keep that name before them. In the case of Blozis
this should be fairly easy, barring injury to the big fellow.
All winter the hungry sports pages have played up his achievements
In indoor field meets. Wherever he went he was unbeatable ... at the
indoor I. C. 4-A ... at the Millrose Games ... . at the national indoor
A. A. U. meet ... at the University of Maryland Games. And when the
scene shifted to the outdoors it was the same. Winner of the I. C. 4-A
outdoor shotput ... of the national outdoor A. A. U. meet ... of every
other shotput event he entered. His only defeat of the year was in the
nationals. He heaved Olympic distance himself in an event whose surface
he is only scratching and finished second.
More than a fair amount of football ability, of course, is necessary,
too. Blozis has that more than fair amount. Forward passers who have*
been swatted to the ground by Blozis are haunted for weeks after. Over
a locked line he can reach and spill a ball carrier with his huge hands.
But it is doubtful if A1 would get all-America recognition without his
shot-putting reputation to give the publicity lift. Not at Georgetown,
anyway.
Time Ripe With Hoyas Unbeaten, on Rise
Great as they were at Georgetown, Flavin, Gilroy, Hagerty, Costello
and Plansky were passed up by the selectors. Connaughton broke the
ice in 1927 and the next year, with all-America dopdkters conscious of
Georgetown, another Hoya almost made it. Claude Grigsby, a capable
center, wound up on the second team, behind De Bettencourt of St.
Mary's. Then Georgetown's star went on the wane.
Now the tub-thumpers are getting out their heavy-headed drum
sticks and readying themselves for the crescendo to come. The time is
ripe. Blozis is a nationally famous athlete. Georgetown for two years
has reigned unbeaten. And the 1940 schedule falls for the Hoyas to be
closer to the spotlight.
• Up to now, Coach* Jack Hagerty’s system of playing linemen has
rot embraced 60-minute duty for anybody. Blozis wasn’t a regular tackle
last year because there were no regular tackles. Hagerty had five or
Fix good ones . . . Kowalski, Fullilove. Blozis, Daniels, Neolon et al. . . .
and ran them in and out of the game. This, though, should be no
serious obstacle for those who would nominate Blozis to the all-Americas.
Notre Dame and most of the other prolific feeders to the mythical star
teams play the same way.
Espey Touted Leemans, but Nobody Believed
The last local all-America who couldn’t make the all-America was
Leemans, who came to George Washington right after the most compe
tent of Prof. Jim Pixlee’s machines was dissembled. Tuffy found himself
the star of a squad otherwise incapable of meeting the teams on G. W.'s
achedule in these days.
Around town everybody knew what Leemans could do. Jack Espey
tore himself away from his toy cannons, fireworks, colored cards and
flags and furiously dispatched Leemans for all-America propaganda to
all parts of the country.
But it was a hopeless effort. George Washington wasn’t a con
sistent winner. The Colonials rarely played in the major Eastern and
Western football arenas and before the critics who select all-America
players. It wasn't until after Tuffy had finished at G. W. that it was
discovered that Espey was trying to help people on the bandwagon of the
best back in the country.
Not until the Chicago All-Star game, when Leemans was the property
of the professional New York Giants and was opposing his future team
mates, did Tuffy have a chance to play before the men who blandly
determine for the gullible millions who are the 11 best college football
players every year.
Leemans stole the show, just as had Bill Shepherd of Western Mary
land before him and just as Foley, Flavin, Hagerty and others might
have done had there been All-Star games in their days. He emerged
the best back on the field, collegian or pro, and every time he packs
the ball now for the Giants the once-frustrated Espey is vindicated some
more. ___

Rout of Dodgers
Has Cincinnati
Far in Front
Tigers, Tribe Keep Up
Hot Duel in Junior
Loop's Swat Orgy
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
The Cincinnati Reds look better
day by day and twice as good by
night.
As they thrashed the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 6-3, last night for Bucky
Walters’ 15th victory this season,
fans sat back and told their neigh
bors they were looking at the next
world champions.
That was how smoothly Ihe Red
legs disposed of the next best team
in the National League.
They never made a fielding error
during the entire three-game series,
which they swept with comparative
ease to inflate their first place
margin to eight full games.
The Reds now have taken seven
of their last eight games against
the Dodgers, have won 17 of the last
19 against all comers and their last
six in a row.
Walters at Peak.
Walters was at the peak of his
form in the night game that drew
30,000 paying patrons to Ebbets
Field, but he never had to bear
down.
His teammates scored one run in
the first inning and four more in
the second, when they drove Tex i
Carleton off the mound with a triple
and four singles. Walters himself
made two of the Reds’ 11 hits. He
muffled the Dodgers on five safeties
until the ninth inning, when a single
by Joe Medwjck and a home run
by Dolph Camilli saved Brooklyn
from a complete rout.
In the only other National League
game the Boston Bees beat the Chi
cago Cubs, 4-3, with Carvell Row
ell’s triple knocking in the deciding
run.
While the Reds have been settling
the pennant dispute in the National
League to all intents and purposes,
the American League_fleld has nar
rowed practically to" two teams—
Detroit and Cleveland.
American League Goes Wild.
Both won yesterday as the junior
circuit came up with one of the
wildest days in its history.
The Tigers kept half a game in
front with a 7-5 decision over Wash
ington, while the Indians squeezed
past the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-6,
with Roy Weatherly’s two-run
homer providing the principal im
petus and Lefty A1 Smith getting
credit for his 10th victory, although
he lasted only until the sixth.
The rampaging Chicago White
Sox rolled up 20 hits in beating the
Boston Red Sox, 12-10, for their
sixth successive triumph. Chicago
scored six runs in the first inning
and intermittently thereafter, but
Boston bunched five runs in the
sixth. There were six home runs.
Browns Blast Yankees.
The worst debacle of all, however,
was at St. Louis, where the Browns
ripped open the world champion
New York Yankees, 14-12, after the
Yanks had tallied six runs in the
first frame. The Yanks got four
homers, including one by Bill Dickey
with the bases loaded and another
by Joe Di Maggio that extended his
hitting streak to 17 games.
But the Browns kept digging away
for 17 hits off six New York pitchers,
took a 12-10 lead in the seventh and
after the Yanks tied the score in the
ninth, Walter Judnich hit a homer
with one on in the last half of the
inning to win.
Altogether, the four games in the
American League brought into ac
tion 30 pitchers, who gave up 111
hits and 73 runs.

Great Catcher Lost by Tigers
As Cobb's Curse That Shakes
Reiber Foils Psycho-Analyst •
By BURTON HAWKINS,
Star Staff Correspondent.
DETROIT, July 25.—This is the
amazing yam of a fellow of whom
you’ve probably never heard. Cur
rently he is a catcher for Toronto,
but he was ticketed to be one of
baseball's greats. His name is
Frankie Reiber and he altered the
course of baseball history. Here
was a player tabhed unqualifiedly by
brilliant baseball men as a sparkling
prospect, a youngster who could
murder the ball, throw like he was
firing a 16-inch gun and who was
blessed with an ability to think. His
failure to make the grade is one
of the weirdiest chapters in diamond
annals.
In 1933 Detroit headed home from
spring training camp with School
boy Rowe and Reiber stamped as
rookie sensations. Together they
had been the backbone of a Beau
mont club, which had won the
Texas League pennant under Del
Baker, now Detroit manager, in
1932. They couldn’t miss, said base
ball moguls, and Rowe and Reiber
seemingly justified their claims with
repeatedly spectacular perform*
ances.
Three days before the Tigers re
turned home to launch the Amer
ican League season against St.
Louis, Reiber had been a positive
sensation in exhibition games with
the Giants. George Uhle and Fred(
Marberry, veteran hurlers then with
the Tigers, said “We don’t want
anybody but Reiber to catch us.
He's the greatest catcher we’ve ever
seen.”
On opening day .Reiber went be
hind the plate for the Tigers, who
collected a 4-0 lead in the first
inning. In the second inning the
Browns stole four bases off Reiber.
Frankie, with one of tha strongest
and most accurate throwing arms
ever visioned by astute judges of
baseball flesh, was t#kinfe four or
five steps out .toward the pitcher
after each pitch, then lobbing the
.ball over the pitcher’s head into
center field.
Cobb’s Criticism Too Much.
After the third inning Reiber re
turned to the ^Hta-’s bench crying
bitterly. Manager Bucky Harris,
then piloting Detroit, humanely
yanked Reiber from behind the bat
and inserted Ray Hayworth. Reiber
never regained his poise after that
occasion.
It all dates back many years ago,
back to the days when Ty Cobb was
managing the Tigers and Reiber
was his bat boy. One day Cobb,
stirred to frothy indignation over
some minor incident in which
Frankie was involved, chased Reiber
from the ball park, shouting “Get
rkaaaa f r a a
Dn Mianli
taaaa ki»h.
Oar artaaa m
I a a • r. Oar
afeara raa t*t
aara tat raar
out of here, you dirty little so and
so, you’ll never be a ball player,” •
Reiber never forgot that. Hz' be
came obsessed, with the ideji Of be
coming, not only a ball player, but
a .great one. He was headed in
that direction, so mu!h so that Wistf
Egan, a silver-haired gentleman
who scouts for the Tigers, say! "He
was one of the fiigrst prospects I’ve
ever seen and I’ve seen virtually
all of them since 1902.”
Frankie came out of Beaumont
branded a baseball jewel. In train
ing camp and in exhibition games
as the club ljeaded home he shone.
He was the sparkplug of the club—
with every pitcher on the team
eager to have him catch them—a
lofty indorsement of his prowess.
Baffled Psychoanalyst.
But, as we were saying, Reiber
collapsed when he returned to De
troit. He couldn't throw the ball
back to the pitcher, an ordinary
achievement for any 10-year-old.
He would walk out several steps to
ward the pitching box and then
throw the ball into the dirt or
over the pitcher's head.
It sounds fantastic, but Reiber
remert^ered Cobb’s stinging criti
cism and couldn’t overcome it. He
had developed a complex and, de
spifc the aid of an expensive woman
psychoanalyst, he never overcame
it. Potentially one of the game's
great, he collapsed completely.
Detroit kept strings on him for
thfee years after tjiat, in the fond |
hope he would shed the complex,
but he never did.
His failure may have been respon
sible for Detroit capturing pennants
in 1934 and 1933. If Reiber had
clicked, as it seemed certain he
would, Detroit never would have
been forced to purchase Mickey
Cochrane, the catcher-manager of
those pehnant-winning clubs.
Reiber of Toronto now is only
a major league memory to the few
who knew him, but, take it from
Egan and Harris, he might have
been one of the game’s immortals.

Help as Clean-up
Br a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
DETROIT, July 25.—Cecil Travis
is going to continue to be the Na
tionals' clean-up batter, but there
are grave doubts if the gangling
third baseman will provide any sen*
sational scribbling material swinging
in that coveted No. 4 spot.
“Show me somebody who figures
to do as well in that spot and I'll
put him in there tomorrow,” says
Manager Bucky Harris. “Cecil is the
best hitter on the club, confound it,
and I think he'll drive in some runs
for us.”
Bucky’s reasoning doubtless Is
correct. Travis, swatting .340 or
so, is the Nat’s most consistent hit
ter and, as such, should whack
across runs in prolific fashion. Thus
far though, Cecil hasn’t accomplish
ed anything astounding.
Hitting .238 in Five Game*..
Travis, elevated to the No. 4
position five games ago, has driven
in three runs over that stretch while
batting a mere .238. One of his runs
batted in came as the result of walk
ing at a time when the bases were
crammed, another on a force-out at
second base. The third materialized
"more legitimately, on a scorching
triple to center after Buddy Lewis
had singled.
It Is a noble experiment. Insert
ing Travis in that spot in the bat
ting order. If he clicks there, the
Nats will possess a player twice as
valuable as the Travis who hitherto
has hit for percentage, but never
driven in many runs. If he fails,
hte still will be a high percentage
hitter in a less demanding position.
Meanwhile, Harris is more con
cerned over his pitching predica
