Pitchers Take Spotlight In Major Gaines New York. April 25 — il’Pl — Don Black, a former big league had boy whose* es< apadeve sent him back to the Minors, was following the '*<>da pop trail today to a comeback with the Cleveland Indians The red-haired right hander from Salix, la., has established himself as number two pitcher behind Bobby Feller and right now han a better record than his “feller” iowan. Black scored his second straight victory yesterday when he shut out the White* Sox at Chicago. 1 to 0. on four hit*, while Feller has won one and lost one. At this time a year ago things didn't look too bright for Black, lie broke training, something that the straight-laced young Cleveland pilot Lou Boudreau wouldn't tolerate, and after a mediocre stretch of perfo.ntance* was sent to Milwaukee where* he compiled the inglorious record of five defeats and no victories. When the training season rolled around he was u new man and proudly proclaimed that “soda pop fee my strongest drink from now on" “I joined alcoholics anonymous and I feel like a new man.*' he said. “It's a wonderful organization doing a wonde.ful job on guys like me." Boudreau, quick to see the change, announced that Black would work in the* number two spot and suggested that with hi* changed attitude he would la a consistent winner. He hae performed excellently in his only two starts, lopping Detroit 5 to 3 on nine hits before his polished job against Chicago. Pat Seerey gave* him his margin of victory with a second inning homer, the only damaging blow against i John Rigney, who gave up only five hits in defeat It was a great day for pitcher* all around At New York. Tex Hughson of the Red Sox. chalked up the second two-hitter in as many days, beating the Yankees, 1 to h, when Boston got the only run on two walks, an infield out. and a long fly by Sam Mele in the fifth. Hughson had to be good to beat rookie Frank Shea of the Yankees, who gave up only three hits but yielded seven walk,* in his big league debut. Jack Kramer, only pitcher for the Browns to score a victory to date, pitched a three-hit, 6 to ! triumph over the Tige s at Detroit and had a shutout until the ninth, it was hi* second victory. The Dodgers made it three in a row over the Phillies at Brooklyn as Ralph Branca with relief help from Hugh Casey scored a six-hit. 2 to 0 victory Dixie Walker's single

Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) 0 0 New York. April 25.~(1'P) Joe Louis was chubby, contemptuous and complacent as he leaned back in a chair, folded those j famed brown fists and announced he would fight twice again to I make it an even 25 challengers j flattened before retiring as undoJ tested he ivywefght champion. The champ didn't come right out I and say his next two opponents, one this September and the other in 1948, were dead ducks. He just said, with a little black moustache dancing in the middle of that i famed dead pan. that* “None 'em deserve a shot.” Os that Joe makes no bones. And be has planted his size 12 brogans firmly on the need for an elimination series to determine the best of the worst. Those i Billy Conn Taml Mauriello massacres still rankle in his mind and ‘ he isn't going out with his two , final chapters titled “bum of the 1 month.” He's also giving quite a thought to the money angle. These last ; two will have to draw, maybe even 1 revive the million dollar gate. liecause they'll have to feed Joe a long time. "Ain't no comebacks for this I hoy," he said. * Tilting a gray beaver back on [ his kinky hair. Joe laughed when Vic Marslllo. manager of Jersey Joe Walcott, told him he should fight the Cjmden. N. J., veteran because the National Boxing Association had designated Jersey Joe as the number one challenger. “Ah don't care what they say," Joe Drawled. "Ah want a suitable opponent. No, I won't take a 52C0.006 guarantee to fight him in Philadelphia. Ah want the best available contender so let ’em fight It out." Units named Walcott. Joey Maxim of Cleveland and Mello Bettlna of Beacon. N. Y., as the three host. He insisted that Bettina could prove himdclf by knocking off light heavyweight champion Bus fassnevldh while Walcott and Maxim would have to fight a rubber match to decide ! their current split in two bouts. Those winners will fight for the right to meet him. "Then if Joe Gaksl wants in ; he'll have to lie considered, too,” I .oil is added. Baksi beat British heavyweight ! champ Bruce Woodcock, but then decided that discretion was the better part of profit and turned down a meeting with joltin' Joe. “Baski or Maxim what's the dtf- ' ference?” ranted Sol Strauss, currently running the promotional business of Mike Jacobs and getting the names confused in the sudden beam of the spotlight. “Makes a lot of difference.” Joe grunted, straightening his maroon sports shirt. “Ah want the best man. These two gotta be good." With that off his chest, Joe's mind turned back to the golf he had been playing while vacation- . « 111 1 '■ 11——W—-
