Southworth’s club, after winning 14 of their last 16 games, now is only five games behind the Dodgers and the chunky, little pilot has & |decided that the time has come for (“anything goes”: tactics. : As the first move in that direction, Southworth has scheduled Mort Cooper for mound duty against the Phils’ Ike Pearson today at Sportsman’s park. The Cardinals chopped half a game from the Dodgers’ lead yesterday, defeating the Phils, 7-4 and 7-5, while Brooklyn walloped the Cubs, 7-1.
Passeau Injures Hand
Humbled by the Cards in three out of four games of their recent series, the Dodgers scored: three runs off Claude Passeau in the third and added another pair in the seventh. Passeau, who gave up 10 hits, was struck on his pitching hand ini the seventh by a line drive off the ; |bat of Peewee Reese. He left the : [game to have the hand X-rayed.

champions gained an impressive 21-0 victory over the college allstars last night at Soldier field to turn back the latest challenge to their leadership in the grid kingdom. The Bears scored the first time they got their hands on the ball and had the all-stars back on their heels most of the time thereafter. Bill Osmanski was the fullback who ripped the all-stars’ line apart almost every time he was given the ball. ‘Hugh Gallarneau, ex-Stan-ford ace, mauled his way through on two short’ drives for touchdowns, Not once during that initial scoring drive did Quarterback Sid Luckman elect to lay aside his power plays to take to the air, It was straight - down-the-middle-here-we-come-stuff and it worked to perfection, : : Luckman and his successor, Young Bussey, however, didn’t want to give the record crowd of 101,100 fans, who paid $305,250, the impression that the Bears could do nothing but grind their ' opposition under foot. The second marker was made ‘through the air. It came in the second period on a neat 23-yard aerial from Bussey to End Hampton Pool. The Bears then combined the two offensive styles for their final marker in the third quarter.

was known as “cheesecake.” " Coltish Young Thing Well; anyway, it was “cheesecake day” at:the tennis matches and Jinx Falkenberg was the reason. Jinx is a leggy, coltish young thing who has been exposed to what is known as glamour in cafe society. and Hollywood, and she has a couple of kid brothers who can play tennis. As a tenniser, Jinx is pretty awful but she is a looker, and if we were a doll we don’t think we'd worry much about our forehand drive. Just precisely what she’s doing in the championship is something of a mystery. As a matter of fact, she’s no longer in it; no longer in the singles, that is. A gal by the name of = Vosters from Philadelphia smacked her out in the first round yesterday, but it was fun while it lasted. : Jinx Gets Around
Jinx is a gal who’ gets around and gets her name and picture in the newspapers, and it may be she is leading up to a stage role or another bit in pictures; that would explain why she was willing to get out there on the sacred grass of the West Side Tennis club and make a clown of herself. Honestly, it was that bad. It turns out that everybody in the family can play real good tennis except Jinx. There are the two kid brothers, both prospective national champions, and there is the mother,
seniors. The dad plays, too, but he is sitting this one out. The many Falkenbergs seem to think the idea of Jinx as a tournament © player, particularly in the classic nationals, is a ‘huge joke.
