Lively Tosses One-Hitter To Beat Brooklyn - — New York, July 15 (UP) Led! by Everett Lively at the Reds,, first rookie to pitch a one-hitter [ this Reason, four obscure hurlers who may not win 20 games altogether. combined today to embarrass four others who are out to win 20 games apiece. Lively held the Dodgers to one hit as Cincinnati banged out Id. Including a homer by Hay Lamanno. against Ralph Branca, and Vic tambardi for a 9 to 1 victory over the league leaders. Lively ended two seven game winning streaks at once for both the Dodgers and Branca who were trying for their eighth straight. He faced only 29 hatters and aside from one lapse in the second Inning when he walked Peewee Reese and Johnny Jorgensen doubled hint home, his performance was perfect, no olber batters getting on b*r!«. He rWlred the last 22 batters In order and struck out four. It was only hie second victory, yet in his last start he pitched a three-hitter to top the Braves. The other "non-<-ntity" boys who joined Lively in upsetting star hurlers yesterday were Tommy Hughs of the Phils, relief artist Emil Kush of the Cubs and sad Sam Zoldak of the Browns. Hughs, who only recently had a record of one victory and seven losses, turned in his third straight triumph and. like Lively, ended a seven-game winning streak when he defeated George (Red) Munger of the Cards, 5 to 2. Munger hadn't lost a game since April 30 and although the Cards gave him a 2 to 0 lead, he couldn't hold It. A two-run single by Al takeman and an error by Erv Dusak gave the Phils three runs in the fifth George Kurowskl hit a Cardinal homer. It was Munger's second loss against eight victories. Kush came in to stop the Braves and end a nine game losing streak for the Cubs, who took a 5 to 3 decision at Boston.

Zale Predicts He Will KO Graziano Chicago, July 15.—(UP)— Tony Zale, middleweight champion of the world, looked toward heaven and gave off a surprising pre-battle statement that meant this: "It'll be a great fight, ma. and I'll win." This llth-hour assertion was the highlight of weeks-long preparations for iomorrow night's middleweight title battle between Zale of Gary, Ind., and challenger Rocky Graziano of New York—the “fight of the year." Today, nearly every fight fan In Chicago wan talking ahouti Zale* last-minute statement in which he predicted that he would knock out the New York Italian within six rounds, "because my last promise to my dying mother was that I would beat him again." In this prediction, the squarefaced. light-brown haired Pole from Gary. Ind., had given himself a deadline of the same sixth round in which he had knocked out Graziano in their first thrilling title fight at New York's Yankee Stadium last September. Despite Zale's prediction, however. a flood of Graziano money from the eastern seaboard hammered down the man-to-man betting price from 7-5 to 6% to 5 favoring the champion. Indications were that they might go into the ring at even money tomorrow night at the Chicago stadium, before a near-sell-out crowd that had paid about 3425.W&—lanp«R indoor gate in taxing hMnry As fans and flelit-tauiw man at the nation poured Into Chichco today. crowding the hotels nearly everyone was talking about Zele's pre-battle statement. ifkmv to reporters late yesterday after ha had finished his last serious workout at the Catholic youth gymnasium.

T Todays Sport Parade | My Oscrr Fraley (Reg. U. B. Pet- Off.) I q — O New York. July 15.-(l'H-Tho New York Giants were at odds with the Yankees today because of tfce “man-naplng" of tauls Norman I Bota) Newsom, who supposedly was ticketed to bolster the loio Grounds' pitching staff but was Intercepted enroute by the American League leaders. The Giants were in a slow roast over the "theft" of Newsom, intimating that the loss of baseballs greatest wanderer might cost them the National League pennant. Bota, the etory goes, was sup posed to ta waived out of the American League and to the Giants, There is a susfMon that one ot those oft occurring "gentlemen * agreement" affairs, which happen so often and mysteriously In base tall, was on. The Washington Senators wanted to get off the hook on Newsom’s 116.000 salary and the Giants were willing to a*eume It because of the inefficiency of their throwing crew. But the Yankees, with three sorearmed pitchers on their staff, refused to waive Bota. They wanted him as pennant Insurance, and the Senators, not caring particularly a* long as they got off the healthy nut repreaented by Bota's paycheck, let him go to the Yanks The Yankee grab was inspired by the ailments which have beset the flipper* of Frank (Spec) Shea, tbeir rookie pitching star.; Spud Chandler and Floyd Beven*. But the Yank,' have built up 'i nice, comfortable cuahlon and can afford to gamble with somebody like the irrepressible Bota to rest the Aces for the stretch drive. Some members of the Yankees also resented the signing of Newsom on the ground* that the big fellow from Hartsville, S. C„ Is a a show-off. But the likeable and a show-off. But the likeable and effervescent Bobo, a prodigal ham who in his journeys has touched more ports than, a tramp steamer, set out immediately to erase these objections. Newsom announced that henceforth he would be a straight man. No more clowning, he promised, and with a split of the world aeries swag as an inducement the great Bota would prove a real asset to the club. He managed to stick to that promise for two Innings in making his debut with the Yanks against the Chicago White Sox. Then old Bota returned to type in hie "I’do not choose to run" 1 Incident with Joe Haynes.

Bota hit to the pitcher, refused to run and returned to the dugout. Haynes failed to throw him out at first so Bobo made a 'un at first from the dugout, proving that rotormation in such Shakespearian characters Is impossible. But don't overlook the fact that Bobo won the game. 10 to 3, with a five-hitter Showboat or not, the fellow trar veler is a handy man to have around when the chips are down. In 1938 he was the only 20-gam* winner the Brown* have had in two decades and although hi* record Is now a losing fiva-and-six, Bobo still has all the confidence of those early days. He's the earns felloar wta. when breaking into semi-pro ball, was offered 1100 to pitch a game. Bobo replied: “If I win. give me 1200. If I lose I don’t get anything." He won. Bota will be 39 In August but this is the type of spot be loves. He's a winner and has a chance to hit the jackpot once more. So he'll be bearing down plenty all the way—even if he does forget now and then to slice the ham thin. And If the Giants and Yanks do get In to make it an eight cent series— what with prices going up because the subways are in a hole —the fans will get their extra three cents worth. The Giants don't figure to cool off that soon on the Newsom steal. oEven the tiny, one-celled protozoa has memory, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Showers Welcome In Adorns County Showers have fallen In moat parta of Adam* county the last two days and In most Inetance* they have been welcomed, according to fanners in various parts of the county.
