HOLLYWOOD, July 2¢ (U. P).— Bob Pastor, New York heavyweight, had hopes today of a third fight with world champion Jog Louis.

By DAN DANIEL Pinch-hitting for Joe Williams NEW YORK, July 24.— “The first thing that comes to my mind is the team work on the New York club, the winning system,” Bob Feller says, with a trace of envy in his voice. “Everybody on the Yankees knows what the rest are doing, and what they are going to do. There is no mystery about that sort of co-operation. Any club can develop it, if they want to take the time to get it. = = = “THE OUTFIELDERS help each other. That goes for the infielders, too. The catchers work with the
pitchers. Just one little thing after another, and
when you add |
them up the effect mendous.
“Then the |
Yankees have men who can deliver that | long ball in | the clutch, as | Gordon and | Keller did against me on Tuesday. “The Yankees have consecutive hitting, and that means rallies. And they also have a catcher by the name of Bill Dickey. New York's pitching is under-rated because nobody seems to recognize the fact that Dickey is the greatest catcher in baseball-and that his effect on the hurler whom he is receiving is tremendous. He is what I call super. On my club, he could hit only .100 and still be that.”

Bob Feller
2 THE CONVERSATION turned | to Joe DiMaggio's batting streak. Did the hitter spark his club, or | did the team inspire Giuseppe to his feat of hitting in 56 consecutive contests? “I would say the Yankees sparked DiMaggio,” Feller replied. “Look at Heath on our club. He has been hitting hard. But we haven't been moving ahead. “Don't get me as detracting from DiMaggio's achievement. He is hard to fool, alert, all business, and makes very few mistakes anywhere. He helps the other outfielders. He scares the pitchers and frightens the runners. “But insofar as I am concerned, Ted Williams is as good a hitter in the clutch. I have been able to stop DiMaggio with my fast ball. But I don't dare pitch it to Ted. Joe slams a curve ball better than Williams. DiMaggio also is more successful against slow stuff. = = ¥
“TO BE SURE, I have won 19 games, and with our club down | for 63 more, some of the experts | are going overboard in calculating | the number of victories I am likely to have at the close of the season.” “Back in May, I told you that the way baseball was played in the major leagues, no pitcher could hope to win more than 28. I see not reason or justification for lifting that limit. “To become a 30-game winner —some of the writers say I should win as many as 35—a hurler must work occasionally out of turn. If you make that a practice, you inevitably lose your stuff. “In the final analysis, you must get runs to win your games. You have seen how our hitting has lost its punch since we had that seven-game lead over the Yankees. As a result, I get no breathers. The Athletics and the Senators are about as tough as anybody for me. And it seems that the Browns have become the roughest of the lot.
“WHEN. YOU HEAR some of the boys talk about my winning from 30 to 35 games, remember that I work harder than any other hurler in the American League. In the first place, I get only three days of rest between starts. Something like 25 more fouls per game are hit against me than off any other pitcher in the circuit. I bear down on every pitch and every hitter certainly bears down on Feller. “What I would like to know is —when do we hit? I am not speaking for myself dione. All of our pitchers have been affected by the let down in run-making.”

Young Bobby Falkenburg
By LUTHE
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 24.—Two mor
| Falkenburg and Louise Brough, have brought talented racquets East. Bobby Falkenburg, national boys’ champion from Hollywood, swept to the Eastern boys’ crown at Forest Hills, though playing with a broken
left arm. Miss Brough, national junior girls’ title holder from Beverly Hills, made her summer debut at Sea Rright, and the nation’s feminine aces are keeping wary eyes on her hard-hit-ting game. Skinny and 15, the Falkenburg lad, who was christened Bob and not Robert, can’t understand the] rumpus everyone kicked up about his annexing the Eastern boys’ tournament despite a heavy cast on his left arm.
“What's a broken arm as long as it isn't the one used to swing the racquet?” he asks. He's Used to Broken Bones Broken bones are nothing new to young Falkenburg. At one time or another he has fractured his left shoulder, wrist and thumb. Falkenburg's first playing invasion of the East appeared ended in St. Louis two weeks ago when he decided to go horseback riding. Everything was all right until the steed decided to attempt to jump a sixfoot fence. Falkenburg decided to get off. He did, flush on his elbow, breaking it. But Falkenburg had waited too
spoil it. The following afternoon he was on a court, learning to counteract the weight of the cast. Less than a week after the accident, Falkenburg and his 16-year-old brother, Tom, went as far as the semi-finals in the Pennsylvania junior doubles.
Budge Took a Gander
Even J. Donald Budge, the Davis Cupper who joined the professionals, came out to Forest Hills for a glimpse of plucky Eobby Falkenburg, who is a brother of Jinx Falkenburg, much photographed actress and model. Bobby didn’t disappoint the redhead as he trimmed blond Henry Osten of Philadelphia in the final, 7-5, 6-2. Falkenburg admits his broken arm bothers him on overhand shots, the weight keeping him always a bit off balance. He uses his broken arm to throw the ball up on service. Falkenburg, a brown-haired, 122-| pound lad, defends his national title | at Culver, Ind. Aug. 7-9. Bobby has a game that belies his youthfulness. He isn't physically | capable of hitting as hard as some foes, so he outsteadies them. He is death at the net . . . comes in continually to volley his opponent out of position and pass him.
He's Had No Coaching
Falkenburg comes from a tennis family, but had no coaching. His mother held the women's singles championship of Brazil. Jinx Falkenburg boasts the women’s championship of the movie colony. Self-assured and 18, Miss Brough can't understand why everyone picks Pauline Betz, the Pollins College girl who won the indoor title, to take over the women’s singles throne at Forest Hills, Aug. 30-Sept. 6. “I don’t believe Pauline has a chance against Helen Jacobs,” asserts Miss Brough, a muddy blond. “Helen is too clever and too experienced. And Pauline really hasn't shown much in major tournaments. Last year she played well until the nationals. Then it was a different story.” Ambitious Miss Brough doesn’t count herself out. Twelfth-ranked - among women,
her game is improving steadily. She

much this summer it won't be so
United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, July 24. —Every year about this time a rustling sound is borne on the breeze that sweeps up from New Jersey. Last evening it was heard in Times Square—a rustle and a slight clinking. It is the sound of the ten-
nis troupers counting their expense dough and getting ready for the windup of the season at Westchester, Chestnut Hill and Forest Hills. The sound comes from New Jersey because the noble athletes are now at Seabright, playing a tournament and checking and re-checking their expense accounts with a skill and thoroughness that would cause any certified public accountant to snap them up in a minute. It looks like an interesting five weeks ahead for the so-called tennis bums and bummettes. Gone are the days when sports writers looked forward to Forest Hills as the one ath-
letic event in which it was impossible for them to miss picking the | winners. All you had to do in those | golden days was to write “Budge and | Marble are cinches,” and the redhead and the blond never made a | liar out of you.
The Old Days
Before that you could count on | Vines and Wills and even before | that on Tilden and Lenglen, But Budge and Miss Marble are takng their money under the heading of “salary and commission” in- | stead of “expense account” these | days, and they won't be a factor] when the shooting starts at Forest | Hills on Aug. 29. | That leaves it pretty much eenie,| meenie, minie, moe in trying to figure out which of the bums and bummettes will wear the laurel, The strangest case of the season is Don McNeill, the national cham- | pion. Ever since he won the title] last summer at Forest Hills he] has been kicked around. He lost| so many tournaments that the other players began to look at him the] same way the average baseball club | looks at the Phillies when they! come out for batting practice.
Not Best on Clay
McNeill's friends say his trouble is that he doesn't play his best] game on clay and that he will be | a ball of fire once the bums and] bummettes get on grass. Maybe) so, but right now there are half a, dozen players who seem to have as| good a chance as McNeill to grab the silver mug at Forest Hills—| Riggs, Parker, Sabin, Grant, Ko-| vacs and Wood to pick six names| out of the hat at random. In the ladies’ department, the uncertainty is just as prevalent. Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, who once was | known to fame only as Alice Mar-| ble’s doubles partner, has - perked up her game and may be the gal on | whom fortune smiles. Her chief competition will come] from Helen Jacobs, Pauline Betz and maybe Helen Bernhard.

e rising California tennis players, Bob
recently defeated Dorothy Bundy, ranked No. 4, in the Coronado, Cal, Invitational final. She won the Southern California championship at the expense of fifth-ranking Gracine Wheeler Kelleher. Coached by Dick Skeen, Beverly Hills professional, for all five years of her tennis career, Miss Brough'’s serve is one of the more difficult to handle among women racquetwielders. “Everyone is supposed to be better than I am, so if I don't win
bad,” she smiles. “I have plenty of time, and some day the experience will help me win the national women's.” It's difficult not to agree with confident Louise Brough.
