EXPERTS ARE
MADE"BUMS"
BY BROOKLYN
Pirates Victims as Dodgers
Win Ninth in Row
Giants Lead
By Jack Hand
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Brooklyn again was the baseball
capital of the nation today with
the Glorious Bums riding blissully
on a nine-game winning streak and
• basking in the sports page head
lines.
The team that couldn't beat the
Army nine at West Point in spring
training had suddenly turned
“killers" and hadn’t lost a single
contest of five played against the
"toughies” from the west who were
supposed to knock out their brains.
They were only two lengths behind
the leading New York Giants.
When the Brooks thumped the
* Phillies four in a row, the experts
warningly pointed a finger and
said “Wait until the Cards get
here.”
The Cards came and lost, so did
the Reds, and the Pirates arrived
yesterday in time to become the
ninth victim. To top it off, a rookie
named Leroy Pfund, who hadn’t
been trusted with a previous start
ing assignment, got the call and
,, caught the victory spirit.
Pfund was one of three rookies
to make his first start in the big
show and none lost. He draped a
seven-hitter on Frankie Frisch’s
Bucs for a 4-1 edge with the help
of Walker's triple, double and
single.
Mel Ott shot a freshman at the
Chicago Cubs in Bill Emmerich, an
other St. Louis chain gang refugee
from Rochester, and got a 6-5 edge
in 10 innings, although Emmerich
wasn't around to get the credit.
The third first starter was Melvin
Bosser, a 25-year-old war veteran
whose only previous experience
came in Class D. Taking the hill
for Cincinnati against the Phillies,
the discharged serviceman earned
win No. 1 but had to give way to
Walker because of wildness in the
eighth. The Reds won, 5 to 4.
Boston and St. Louis were not
scheduled, moving up their game
to make a doubleheader tomorrow,
and the entire American slate oi
lour games, including a night tilt
in St. Louis, was washed into
future twin bills

SOFTBALL PLAY
WITH 14-2 WIN'
Signacs Fail Apart in Field
to Hand Out 8 Runs
in Final Frame
Early season slack in large quan- |
titles showed up in the play of the
Signacs afield last evening, with
the result that the Finance club
trotted off with a 14 to 2 victory
in the opening game of the local
Softball season. Four Signac bobbles
in the seventh helped Finance to
eight runs.
Pitcher Blum was the big gun of
the Finance outfit, pacing the at
tack as well as confining the Sig
nal Corps squad, to 10 safeties in
the seven innings. Blum connected
for three hits, including one circuit!
smash, in his four times at the plat- j
ter. Ward and Arsanto each got!
two-for-three for the Signac Blue
Jays.
Tomlin, Coastguarder holding!
down first base for Finance, led the !
tallying, counting three times after
getting aboard on a duo of singles
and an error. Seven errors were
charged against the Blue Jays and
two boots against Finance.
Meeting at Firemen's Field this
evening at 7 o’clock in the second
contest will be the Coast Guard
and the Sub-Port Headquarters
teams.
The score by innings:
Team 1234567 R HE
Finance 0213008 14 10 2
Signacs 1001000 2 10 7
Batteries: Finance—Blum and
McClellan; Blue Jays—Fischer and
Ward.
SENOR PLENTY
TOUGH COOKIE
FOR ROBINSON
PHILADELPHIA, May 15 — Jose
Basora, the Puerto Riean Senor
from San Juan, threw a lot of dirt
on Ray “Sugar" Robinson's fistic
reputation last night.
A 7 to 1 underdog, he held
the “u ncrowne d” welterweight
champion from New York to a 10
round draw and but for a switch
of tactics in the last round, prob
ably would have gained the deci
sion.
A sell-out crowd of 14.653 that
jammed Convention Hall saw the
I atin American scrapper come
within an eyelash of joining Jake
LaMotta as the only one to whip
‘‘Sugar" in 56 bouts. Basora weighed
154 pounds to Robinson’s 149'-.
There were no knockdowns, al
though Robinson jarred the Senor
several times in the fifth round
and Basora made “Sugar" hang on
with solid body blow's in the eighth.

VO HAKE MOVE
TO SET FATHERS
OUT OF BATTLING
WASHINGTON, May 15 — A
move to force the Army to dis
charge all men with more than
three -children ocean on Capitol
Hill today.
It is under the leadership of
Representative Engel < Republican,
Michigan), who said lie will seek
a House vote on the proposition
when the annual War Department
appropriation bill reaches the floof,
within several weeks.
As a member of the Appropria
tions Sub - Committee handling
Army funds, Engel will ask the
committee to write into the bill a
ban against payment of funds to
any service man who has more than
three children. Its acceptance, he
said in an interview, would force
the Army to discharge such men,
since no one can be compelled to
serve without compensation.
Chairman May, (Democrat, Ken
tucky), of the Military Committee,
said he would resist any such move
because "we must have confidence
in the judgment of the Army’s
' leaders.”

' ably to receive a Pacific command

ers. . 11 which he is a specialist.
