First of all. he had them win nlng ball games again, with three victories In four starts since he took over the chib, the latest a vicious 14 to 2 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds In which the Giants made more runs than in any game since June fi. Second, and more important, he had them hustling In every game played thus (ar. there has been shouting in the dugout with the players up on the steps instead of sitting ba< k for between inning siestas as was their custom previously. He had them talking about baseball, about the pennant in fact, and the general lethargy of the past was gone His third step was to do something about the pitchers, there are II hurlers on the Giant staff, some good, some mediocre, some terrible Right away after taking over the club from Mel Ott. he announced that he would establish a starting rotation He said he would use Sheldon Jones. Dave Koslo. Clint Hartung, lairry Jansen and Ray I'oat as his starters, returning Jones from bullpen duty. At the same time bp restored Ken Trinkle as the team's number one relief man On the others. Alex Konikowski. Clem Drelsewerd. Paul Erickson. Andy Hansen. anJ Montla Kennedy. Durocher reserved judgment, hnt he indicated he would give all an equal chance. In yesterday's rout of the Reds. Jansen .went the distance to gain his *llth victory, giving up seven hits, one of which was Hank Sauer's 2fith homer, putting him In a tie with Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh for the major league lead | Walker Cooper and Bobby Thorn- | son each got three run homers In the Giants' 18-hlt assault on three Clncy pitchers. What was particularly Interesting was that Durocher had the usually slow moving Giants steal Ing four bases Whitey Ixxkman sneaked two. Hill Rigney one. and even Lumbering Johnny Mixe got one. The Phils came from behind with four runs on six hits in the 'ifth to defeat the Cuba. 5 to 4 at Chicago Dutch ix*onard scattered 11 hits, one a homer by Andy Pafko, to win. his ninth game.

July 2u (IP) - Joe Ixiuis will make one more defence of the heavyweight title, it was Increasingly evident today, wi’h an announcement probable next week that he will face light heavyweight champion Gus Lesnevich at Yankee Stadium Sept. 22. laiuis announced his retirement after knocking out Jersey Joe Wai cott the last time out. but it is significant that in the Intervening month the champ has not made It official He said he would advise the New York boxing commission in writing of his retirement.

Considering lhat Gus kayoed Mills in 10 heats in 1943. and has Improved vastly as a fighter in the last two years. should do it. There are two excellent reasons why laiuis probably will change his mind alatut retiring: 1. He still could use a tew more pesos, as who couldn't. 2. Twentieth Century, his Alma .Mammy, faces a showdown battle this fall with the rival boxing pro motion outfit known as tournament of champions. As tor the first reason. I-ouis always has been a fast man with a buck Add to that the fact that his soda pop venture Isn’t sensational Then. too. Joe for all his earnings always has had a large entourage which skims off a lot of cream. And while Joe dislikes the rigors of training, he makes money in the ring: while he loves golf, he loses quite a bundle on the fairways, and with regularity. • Also, there Is a real bond of affection between Joe and “Uncle Mike." and Jaco’»s faces a real brawl for patronage with the tournament of champions moving in The rival outfit has signed Tony Zale to defend his middleweight crown against Marcel Cerdan of France in Septemlier. t'nless Jacobs comes up with a Setaur-I pltoinierlng Phone IfiSK T
