Passeau Leads Hurlers With

9 Victories

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 12—One of baseball's pet theories is that pitching for a second division team practically prohibits a moundsman from becoming a consistent winner, but Claude William Passeau of the Chicago Cubs gave the lie to that hoary hypothesis today. Righthander Passeau, a six-foot 31-year-old Mississippian, has been with 11 different clubs but never with a top-notch team. The Cubs have helped keep that unfortunate record intact this season by spending most of their time in the National league's second division, but Passeau has] overcome that handicap with] charac teristic courage He led leagues in gay won today with | a record of nine vi ictories against three defeats and’ of his performances so far it seemed safe to predict that this slim-limbed veteran—now in his eighth year in the big leagues—would reach the 20-victory standard for the second

Ridiculous? along and you may cart away the doubles title, too. The fact is, tennis—men’s tennis—is in an alarmingly shaky condition. War and other factors have cut heavily into the ranks. As matters are balanced now, the national championships at Forest Hills will be as wide open as Joe E. Brown's mouth and the eventual title winner probably will be as obsecure as a Scotland Yard inspector. The eight top ranking men will not be on hand for the 1942 title contest.
