Pierce Considered One Os Greatest CHICAGO, UP—Billy (The Kid) Pierce, the stellar southpaw ot the Chicago \ White Sox. looks more like a choir boy than a big league pitcher, but he doesn’t like to be reminded of .it. And batters of seven other American league clubs don’t think he acts like a choir boy, either. Peirce has compiled a 16 won and 7 lost record to lead the White Sox mound corps to second place in the American pennant chase. And it ‘‘kind of gripes me” that a lot ot players in the league refer to Pierce as “Son,”, “Kid”, or “Baby Face.” "I know I look young.” Pierce said. *but I’m 26 and shave regularly.” If Pierce looks like he should he home helping with the dishes in street clothes, he gains considerable stature on the mound. He leads the league ip strikeouts with 442 and his earned run average of 2.20 is also tops. Frank Lane, the shrewd talent manipulator who reigns as general manager of the Sox, outfoxed the Detroit Tigers out of Pierce in 1948 for Aaron Robinson and $lO,000. ■ \ - “It was the best trade I ever made but it has one handicap,” Lane said. “Detroit won’t even talk to me anymore without half-a-dozen lawyers present. -s“Can’t 'Bay I blame ’em.” Pierce won 15 and lost 12 last j'ear and had a 15 and. 14 mark in 1951. He rates an excellent chance to become the first White Sox .pitcher to win 20 games, since Thornton Lee turned the trick in 19,41 with 22 wins. Rival managers in the American league are agreed that Pierce is the best southpaw in the business and concur that the boyish features are a big fat lie. when he’s bearing down. Casey Stengel, the quotable manager of the New York Yankees wojjdes every time the little lefty is slated to pitch against the Yankees. "The Kid is quite a pitcher,” Casey conceded recently. After the Yankees walloped the Sox* three straight in the stadium a week ago. Pierce set the bombers down with just three hits to record the second of his three straight shutouts. The “Kid” was slated to pitch today against the St. Louis Browns and took into the game a sparkling 34% innings of shutout ball. Hurling at top form, • Pierce could extend the string to 4.3% still short of the major league mark of 56 set by Walter Johnson in\ 1913 but still a fair country average for a pitcher they call “Sonny”. Perfume Still Raid Ends Counterfeiting ’ MIDDLETOWN, R. L. UP — A perfume still raided in a private home here turned out Jake perfumes; for an international “famous name" counterfeiting ring, federal tax agents reported today.

UP — A pint-sized Joliet, 111., baseball team marched hotn|e with the regional championship ot the Little League,tourney today after a 12-year-old pitcher hurled a no-hit 5 to 0 decision over Columbus, Neb. ■ \ : Neal Zeich struck out 14 batters walked six as his teammates collected top place in Region 6 in a six-inping game at Zollner Stadium here Tuesday night. The rangy winnirtg pitcher was in trouble only once when Columbus loaded the bases in the fifth With one man down, but Zeich came back to strike out Don Gabenz and Tommy Ernst, the Nebraskans’ leading hitter. In the first, when a Columbus runner reached third. Zeich struck out the two next batters, including Ernst Columbus pitcher Connie Keating gave up six hits, struck out two and walked two. « The night’s fielding honors went to Columbus \ centerfielder Dick Hegi who made a sensational leaping one-handed catch against the wall and brought down a long ball ‘hit by Johnny Keigher.

ITU Leader Calls For Full Argument Defense fund Is Union's Problem DETROIT, UP —Woodruff Randolph'. president of the AFL International Typographical Union, promised convention delegates today there wqulu be "unlimited debate" on the future use of the ITU defense fund. The fund, used to publish competing newspapers in communities where printers are on strike, was scheduled to come up before Thursday's session of the ITU’s 95th national; convention. The question qf j whether die union should continue to publish 13 Unitvpo, Inc., newspapers shaped up as the biggest convention issue. It was touched upon only lightly Tuesday as the 400 delegates took up more routine matters. ’ f Delegates gave their overwhelming -approval to a measure giving local- unions a stronger hand in dealing with printers hired on a temporary basis. It gives locals more discretionary power in deciding whether a substitute or itinerant printer should work a day or whether a regular printer should get overtime pay for working the day. i , A proposal to eliminate the file to six-veajr apprenticeship period was defeated iby a vote of 243 to 113. Delegates also picked St. Paul, Minn.,- as their 19convention site. ' 1 \
