Gian: Rise and Smash Reds : For 10 Runs in One Inning
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 15.—The Cincinnati Reds were berthed uncomfortably in fifth place today and unless their pitching staff, which had Just about been conceded to be the best in baseball regains - its effec-
tiveness quickly, they may still be in there in September.
The Feds, off to one of the worst starts in years which might cost . them the pennant, came to life early this month and their pitching |
staff—comprising about 98 per cent of their flag chances — began 10 function as expected. Bucky Walters, Ray Starr, Elmer Riddle and Johnny Vander Meer all turned in stellar performances. A one-hit performance of Gene Thompson, a hopeless bust last year, over the Dodgers at Brooklyn last Tuesday won the accolade for the Reds’ staff and it seemed as it Deacon Bill McKechnie’s men were indeed going to be the team to beat.
Giants Have No Trouble
Curt Davis, lean weather-scarred Brooklyn veteran, stopped the Reds with @ two-hitter on Wednesday but the squall really struck hard at the Polo Grounds yesterday when the New York Giants loosed a hurricance of 17 hits and whipped Cin-
pitchers—two of them front-line men—but the Giants had little troubie with any of them. The game was all Cincinnati until the eighth inning, when the Giants, trailing, 6-2 touched off a 10-run explosion, in which 15 men batted and Manager Mel Ott and Babe “Young both collected two hits. Ott paced the attack with a three-run homer,
French Pulls Muscle
' Brooklyn’s Dodgers boosted their league lead to 312 games by knocking off the second-place Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-4. Joe Medwick got the JFlatbushers off to a fast start with a three-run homer in the first inning following a Pirate run. The Bucs shelled Kirby Higbe from the

hill in the third and added two tallies to tie the score. Babe Phelps led this splurge with a homer but
Bob Elliott scored the final tally with a ninth-inning homer. Veteran Southpaw Larry French retired in the sixth with a pulled leg muscle but was credited with his third win, Bill Lee held the Philadelphia Phils to seven hits to pitch the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory. Charley Gilbert and Bill Nicholson led the Cubs with two safelies. In the only two American league games, St. Louis shaded Boston, 63, and Chicago turned back the Philadelphia Athletics, 9-4. The Athletics dropped into a tie with Washington for fifth place. The White Sox hammered Jack. Knott and Herman Besse for nine hits and snapped the A’s five-game winning streak. Myril Hoag led the attack with three hits and Bill Dietrich scattered seven for his third triumph. Roy Cullenbine and Chet Laabs clouted home runs, pacing a 10-hit Browns’ attack that cost the Red Sox their fifth straight loss. Johnny Niggeling went the route for the Browns, allowing six hits. Three went to Bobby Doerr, leading hitter for the ‘American league.
Yesterday's Hero—Manager Mel Ott of the New York Giants, who hit a three-run homer and paced the New York Giants to a 12-6 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds.

report” until after a meeting today. : Any move for . cancellation of hockey for the duration will meet stiff oppostion from Manager Jack Adams of the Detroit Red Wings. Adams said Detroit did “very well” last season. “Those war workers plug for six days a week,” Adams said, “and they've got to have recreation. They can't go to the movies all the time.” Use Married Men
The Wings, if necessary, Adams -|said, would carry on with married players and others too young for the draft. Reports that the league would be an gll-Canadian affair next season
McMillen and Jumping Joe Savoldi Were ridiculed by most of the club
officials who saw little possibility that the Boston, New York, Chicago, Brooklyn and Detroit franchises would be transferred to Canadian cities. Tommy Gorman of the Montreal Cangdiens summed up the general feeling when he said that plans made today might be disrupted in a few weeks by the course of the war but it appeared likely that the league governors would vote to continue the current setup with players who are not subject to the draft.
Profitable Season
Many sports suspended during the last war but professional hockey continued and a spokesman said “it is hoped” that the game would be able to continue during this war. However, servite demands both in Canada and the United States are expected to cause a player shortage. Many of the game’ s stars already are in the service and others are expecting momentarily to be called. The transportation problems also entered deliberations on the league’s future. ‘The governors must consider that the league has ‘just finished one of its most profitable seasons. Montreal, Boston ‘and New York more than held their own, while in Toronto, Chicago and Detroit, the gates reached record proportions,

Approve Navy’s
‘American Way’
Times Special GREAT LAKES, Ill, May 15.— Three athletic directors from the state of Indiana today voiced their enthusiastic approval of the navy’s physical hardening program following a tour of the U, 8. naval training station. The trio included Frank Leahy of Nofre Dame, Guy (Red) Mackey of Purdue university and Z. G. Clevenger of Indiana. They were accompanied by 10 other athletic directors and Maj, John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner. Leahy, whose Irish teams have opposed Great Lakes on the basketball court and the baseball diamond, lauded the system used to toughen bluejackets preparatory to facing the nation’s enemies. Mackey also expressed views that the spirit of competition was the

achieve physical fitness for the rigors of wartime service. “The "Japanese have jiu jitsu and the Germans their mass gymnastics,” he said. “We think the American way is better. We combine more body building with a zest for competitiion. All other things being equal that spirit means the difference between victory or defeat. “We found during World War I that a program of hard drills and calisthenics was not enough. Fighting men, not just be-muscled animals, was our ultimate aim. Addition of baseball, track, hand-to-hand fighting practice, and especially broad jumping changed all that gradually until we have the splendid, balanced program now in operation at Great Lakes. The American way is exemplified by the naval training station better than any place in the United States. These. men are - getting everything necessary to harden them for their Miimate duty with the wartime eet.”
