square off tonight in their 10round bout in Chicago Stadium. As an Incentive to defeat the

THERE IS considerably more at stake for Davey, the former Michigan State College student, in the avay of reputation, The red-haired Irishman never has

DAN DANIEL, veteran baseball writer with the New York World-Telegram and The Sun, served as toastmaster | at the recent reunion of members of the old New York | Yankees. J He introduced John Drebinger of the New York

when the rhubarb developed on the grounder that Johnny Pesky, Detroit shortstop, had difficulty in handling causing some doubt about Virgil Trucks receiving credit for a no-hit game . . . Said Daniel, “Drebinger is the only baseball writer who ever pitched a no-hit game.” pe Evidently Daniel didn't mean to include minor league | scoring . . . Anyway, he said it for a gag . . . But in Indianapolis, 37 years ago, a similar incident occurred . A doubtful hit to the third baseman was changed to | an error AFTER the game, downtown, giving Dan Tipple,

Indianapolis pitcher, a no-hit triumph. » » » » » ~ The achievement received wide acclaim over the press wires and led to the immediate sale of Tipple to the New York | Yankees . . . Lacking in control usually, Tipple failed dismally | in the majors and the Yankee bosses decided they had been | “taken” by Indianapolis . . . At any rate, sometime later, when the Indianapolis club recommended another player to the Yanks, the answer was brief . . . The wire read, “A burnt child dreads the fire.”
