National League Ends
American’s Win Reign
BY JOE REICHLER
DETROIT, July 11.—(AP)—The National League inner
circle today saw an end to the American League’s “reign
of terror” and predicted a new cyecle shifting the batting
power to the senior circuit.
Gil Hodges, strapping Brooklyn
first baseman and the National
League’s home run leader, said
after yesterday’s 8-3 triumph over
the Americans:
“It is the National that has the
home run hitters now, not the
American. Yes, sir, times have
changed.” -
Ralph Kiner, the National’s
home run king for the last five
years, echoed this sentiment.
“We're the big guys now and
they are the little boys,” he said.
“I could see that before the game
when we lined up for the National
Anthem. 1 looked over at the
American League bunch and
thought: ‘Gee, what a bunch of
little guys compared to a few years
ago.’” For the first time our boys
looked like the big men.”
Hodges and Kiner hit two of the
Nationals’ four homers as they
bombarded five pitchers for a
dozen hits and ran up the biggest
run total ever made by a National
League Ail-Star team.
Stan Musial of the St. Louis
Cards and Bob Elliott of the Bos
ton Braves also smashed homers
for the winners. Those of Hodges
and Elliott came with a man on
base. George Kell and Vic Wertz |

| Vietimized for years by such

| Charlie Keller, the Nationals had

“Sugar Ray”
Beaten By
Londoner
LONDON, July 11. — (AP) —
Sugar Ray Robinson, once consid
ered boxing’s invincible fighting
machine, was stripped of his world
middleweight crown after absorb
ing a terrific beating by Randolph
Turpin, a comparative newcomer.
Turpin, 23-year-old negro al
most unknown outside of his Brit
ish homeland, astounded the box
ing world by soundly whipping the
New York titleholder in 15 rounds
last night as a capacity crowd of
18,000 cheered in disbelief.
The 31-year-old Robinson’s fis
tie world collapsed around his bat
tered features, but he’ll get a
chance on his home grounds to get
his title back next Septemrber.
Immediately after the fight,
Robinson’s manager, George Gain
ford, said a return bout would be
heild feptember 26 in New York.
Unawed by the champion’s daz
zling reputation, young Turpin
bored in from the start to out
punch, outbox and outsmart the
overwhelming favorite who has
been hailed in recent years as the
greatest fighter—pound for pound
—anywhere in the world.
“I thought I was winning all the
way,” Turpin declared as he ran
into his dressing room. “He never
hurt me once.” Randy was quite
right.
Turpin finished without a
scratch, while Robinson just bare
ly escaped in the 14th round and
ended up with a deep cut on his
left eyebrow and another gash
high on his left cheekbone.
The Associated Press scoreboard
gave Robinson, who had lost only
one other fight in 133 bouts cover
ing 11 years, just four rounds.
Turpin got nine, with two even.
Robinson, the world welter
weight champion when he took
the middleweight title from Jake
L.aMotta in Chicago, held the 160~
pound crown only five months. He
beat LaMotta last February 14,
and the National Boxing Associa=
tion and the New York Athletic
Conmmission relieved him of his
welterweight title.

James Still On Top
With 15-6 Victory
BY THOMAS BROWN
Wally Seagraves pitched the
Charlie James Cleaners to a 15-6
victory over the University Profs
in the first game last night in the
Municipal Softball League.
Dupree Cape, James’ center
fielder, played an outstanding
game both in the field and in the
batter’'s box. The first time he
entered the box he flied out to
right field and the next three suc
cessive times he clouted homers
for his team, with the bases load
ed only one time. His batting av
erage for the night for the four
official times at bat was .767.
The Profs didn’t do so bad,
though, considering they were
playing the league leading teamn,
The Prots’ left fielder, Bice, prob
ably played the best game that he
has ever played for his teamr. In
the fifth inning the Cleaners’
pitcher, Wally Seagraves, hit an
infield single and stole second
base, but the next three batters
flied out to Bice in left field. All
this time Bice was making circus
catches, making run-backs and
scooping the flies out of the dirt
which would have probably been
Texas leaguers.
The losing pitcher was Bump
Gabrielson, though playing a fine
game.
With a 41 to 15 victory over the
General Docs in the second game
of the night, DeMolay tried their
best to break Charlie James’ rec
ord for runs. James hold A the
record of 42 runs,
The best hitters for DeMolay
were George Upchurch, with four
hits for six times at bat; Richard
Saye, five for six; and Jule Spears
with three fer four times at bat.
The winning pitcher for DeMo
lay was R. H. Driftmier, walking
only five would-be batters.
With a flurry of errors chalked
up against the Docs, they tried to
redeem themselves in the fourth
and fifth innings by knocking in
seven runs. The losing pitcher for
the Docs was Dr. Smith, giving up
19 runs in the third inning.

Considering
Managing
DETROIT, July 11. — (AP) —
Major league club owners hope to
choose a successor to Baseball
Commissioner A. B. (Happy)
Chandler by August 1.
Owners of the 16 clubs agreed
yesterday to put in writing their
recommendations for the $65,000-
a-year job by July 20. The screen
ing committee met with the own
ers to discuss the type of commis
sioner desired; but no names have
yet been submitted.
There was lively speculation
here over Chandler’s future plans
and reports that he might take
over as general manager of the
Detroit Tigers.
Chandler said he was “leaving
the door open for a return to
baseball.” s
“But I haven’t had any offer,”
he said when asked about reports
he might beconre general manager
of the Tigers in event Billy Evans
resigns the $50,000-a-year job.
Chandler, whose resignation be
comes effective Sunday, perform
ed his last major official act yes
terday when he presided over the
18th annual All-Star game.
The former Xentucky senator
outwardly appeared his old smil
ing jovial self as he visited each
dugout bidding goodbye to the All-
Star players, managers and coach
es of the National and American
Leagues.

Fight Game
Versus TV
Sportscast
By The Associated Press
The phone rang in the lonely
box office of a sznall fight elub.
“What a lousy declision,” saiqg
the voice on the other end. “Next
week, I'll watch the roller derby.”
“Nobody knows what “the voice
‘on the other end” did next week,
But the ex-fight promoter wh
told the story knows what he did
He gave up his wrestle with the
television headache.
“You can’t get along with i 1
he moaned.. “And you can't get
along without It.”
Truth of the matter is, the t.i
is wagging the dog in key cente«
saturated by TV-sets.
Among New York’s teeming
millions where outdoor elubs used
to run boxing shows every night in
the week, only one survives—Fo 1
Hamilton. A TV contract barely
keeps it breathing.
Let George Kobb, an ex-promo
ter in Elizabeth, N. J., tell you his
troubles.
“I got my own arena,” said
Kobb. “It's empty now. No TV
contract. I used to charge $3 and
$4 tops. This year I got a TV
contract and cut prices to 55 cenis
up to $2.00. Nobody ever came.
When I lost my sponsor, I clozed
‘shop.
“Even In wme aepression I ran
and made money. Now 1 don't
l know how to run. The old formu
las don’t work.
