He makes a fishing trip up north every year and usually comes back with some beauties like this. however, despite the unequalness of the match. As in Sunday night's game, it was Bomber Krauss' bat that first started the Indians off as he blasted a 350-foot home run over the fence on his first trip to the plate in the second inning an exact duplicate of what happened the previous game. Before the game was over, Bomber had lashed out for three hits to make it another big hitting series for him with 10 RBI in the two gamps. Manager Joe Hauser likewise found the balls offered him considerably to his liking as he smeared the ball all over the lot for a big third-inning home run and tossed in a brace of doubles and a single as well for four safe blows.

Red Males, Alex Klauser and Bill Deininger the latter running his consecutive hitting string to 26 games each got two. But it was Buddy Krier's classy pitching job that made it easy for the boys at the plate. An ordinary mound performance could have done it but the Random Lake twirler made it a better-than-or-dinary one. Not until the eighth did they finally score on him, and by that time it didn't matter. After two difficult opening innings in which he allowed four hits off his delivery, he settled down to some sensational winging with one stretch of six successive strikeouts.

Indeed, between the second and fifth frames, he either struck out or threw out himself, eight of the nine batsmen facing" him, the only other drawing a base on balls with a three and two count. In all, he K'd 13, issued five passes, and had his curve working like a snake. They got just seven hits oft him. being The Baseball Standings AMERICAN ASSOCIATION L. Pet.

Ohio State and Notre Dame each will have two representatives on the Collegiate All-Star football team that will start against Chicago's Bears in the ninth annual charity game at Soldier Field, Aug. 28. Midwest choices predominated in the final tabulations of the nation-wide poll and only two of the 11 starters Mai Kutner, Texas end, and Al Blozis, Georgetown tackle came from outside this area. The Chicago Tribune, sponsor of the game, said 4,928,083 fans participated in this year's balloting. Here are their choices: Ends Mai Kutner, Texas, and Charles Ringer, Minnesota.

Tackles James Daniell, Ohio State, and Al Blozis, Georgetown. Guards Bernie Crimmins, Notre Dame, and Bob Jeffries, Missouri. Center Vincent- Banonis, Detroit. Quarterback Dick Erdlitz, Northwestern. Halfbacks Steve Juzwik, Notre Dame, and Bruce Smith, Minnesota.

Fullback Jack Graf, Ohio State. Sixty-four players have been invited to make up the squad which will begin practice Aug. 8 at Northwestern. Of the entire squad, 45 players are from the midwest, 12 from the South and nine each from the East and the Far-West. Thirty-four universities and colleges are represented.

Henrich Faces Call To Army Massillon, O. (UP) Tommy Henrich, 26-year-old outfielder of the New York Yankees, probably will be inducted into the army late in August, his local draft board announced today after unanimously denying a dependency appeal. Henrich, who now has three brothers in the service, originally had been scheduled to leave last Friday for the army in the company of two of the brothers. L-w-. srrfL Edgar as much support as a pair of balsa wood arches.

He came up from Williamsport in 1936, was claimed by the White Sox for the waiver price in May, 1939. His Philadelphia record for three seasons was eight victories, 28 losses. His best year was in 1940 with the Sox when he won 14, dropped nine, had a fine earned-run average of 3.22. He won 13 and lost 17 last season. Entirely in keeping with his career, the Sox repeatedly started him against Bob Feller of Cleveland.

They engaged in some stirring duels with Smith on the losing end more often than Feller, on several occasions by 1-0. Adversity has made Smith an unusual personality. He scarcely AMERICAN ASSOCIATION I o-fA Smith mentions the well-pitched games he has won but dwells sentimentally on the particularly tough losses. "Now you take that game I dropped in Philadelphia this year," he muses with a wry grin. "Gave 'em two hits, lost 2-0.

Then there are those two 1-0 games I lost in New York and Boston. Couple of tough hitting clubs. Since Feller has been in the Navy, I haven't lost so many 1-0 games. Just five this year. "I don't feel any different.

I'm not nervous, nor tightened up, not discouraged. "This baseball is a funny business, that's all." Edgar Smith can say that with a good deal of authority. WISCONSIN STATE LEAGUE Yesterday's Results Janesville 7, Oshkosh 6. Fond du Lac 6-1, Wis. Rapids 0-4.

A good-sized crowd is expected to be on hand tonight for the game in which a rejuvenated Blackhawk team, no longer the doormat for the league since acquiring several new players, seeks to topple Sheboygan's Indians from their lead-challenging position behind Green Bay, A two-game series with the Hawks will be followed by Thursday's City Officials' Booster game and Friday's tussle with the Bluejays. After these two home games, the Jays and Indians will move on to Green Bay for a Saturday clash and a double-header Sunday afternoon and night. Dwyer Injured, Idle For Jays On the sidelines with an injured foot this week is one of the trio which comprises Sheboygan's regular outfield Bill Dwyer, blonde belter who had been hitting the ball at a good clip lately, before a charley horse forced him to the sidelines last week. Now a broken blood vessel in the instep is keeping the fine-armed outfielder from patrolling his regular right field area where his speed Dwyer is the fastest man on the Indian squad enabled him to make even tough ones look easy in snaring fly balls. He will probably be out of action for several days, extending into the coming Bluejay series.

Last night at Appleton, before an all-time league record attendance of 5,903 fans who watched the game on a Merchants' Night by paying 1 cent with free tickets, although many left before the pcrap was over jamming and overflowing the Papermaker diamond, the Indians drubbed their up-valley rivals by a free-swinging 12 to 2 margin. They had superlative pitching, they had great hitting, the Indians both at the same time; and consequently, the game approached the status of a rout.

With Frank Pazeras, who will leave for army service next week, hurling a brilliant three-hit triumph over the previously unbeaten league leaders, the Twoers insured their out-of-the-cellar standing with a fine rallying ability in the late innings. Trailing 3-no-thing in the last of the third, they punched home two runs in that frame, added two more in the fifth and sixth and there was the ball game. Pazeras struck out two, walked seven, to upset league-leading hurler Leo Schieb-le, who allowed just two hits for another spectacular performance.

Errorless ball behind Pazeras was a deciding factor. Prange's smashed aside Engineering Sales by a 12-4 margin in another game as J. Weber limited the losers to seven hits and E. Mervar led the sticking with three for three at the plate. E.

Lardner Favored State Golf Meet Milwaukee. UP) A field of 93 entrants teed off at the Ozaukee Country Club today in the qualifying round of the Wisconsin Amateur Golf tournament in pursuit of the title won last year by Harlan Reich, the Madison mailman.

Lyn Lardner, of Oconomowoc, three times the amateur king in 10 years, was favored to win his fourth title. Lardner served notice he was in the groove when he tied the Ozaukee course record with a 65, five under par, in a practice round Saturday. Reich, winner of the title on the North Hills links last year, was plagued by tradition as he teed off in a' threesome with Lardner and Beauford Melik, of Racine. Only once in the 41 years of the tournament has a champion repeated in successive years. Ned Allis, of Milwaukee, won the crown in 1922 and 1923.

lose, Novikoff started losing the ball. Magnate Wrigley has had to pay him only $30 to date, for he has let a third strike slip by without taking a riffle at it only three times since they made their little deal. With his newly-found freedom of movement, Novikoff also refused to further fall for soft stuff the change of pace and such. Novikoff Restores Wrigley's Interest In addition to giving the Cubs badly needed violence, Novikoff restored what little interest Wrigley had in baseball. They now telephone Wrigley when Larruping Louie manufactures a home run in a game the owner is unable to attend.

They long-distance the gum tycoon in Washington not long ago when his hero slapped another. The National League was criticized somewhat for not naming Novikoff and his teammate, Bill Nicholson, for the All-Star game. Novikoff and Nicholson are two of the mighty few in the senior circuit who smite the ball for magnificent distances. Novikoff is slow and not a good outfielder. hen he makes what appears to be an unusual catch now and then, it is due as much to awkwardness as skill.

He plays hitters poorly and is an uncertain catch. His arm is only fair. But the mob loves him. As long as Lou Novikoff continues to press the fat of the bat against the ball, he will look like Tns Speaker to the paying guests. And, as "Jim Gallagher made nlain right! me customer is always (By BURTON BENJAMIN) New York.

(NEA) Edgar Smith, the stocky, blond chunk whose name you will find at the bottom of the American league pitching standings, can still smile. Rest assured, the Chicago White Sox southpaw is not doubled up in paroxysms of laughter. His grin is hardly a toothy spread. But he manages a faint lip twitch when you inquire about his record 2 victories, 16 defeats) and explains "My pitching is exactly the same as it was last year or the year before. I'm no faster, no slower.

I've got the same curve, the same change of pace, the same degree of control. My arm is fine. "I guess I'm the original hard luck guy. Jimmy Dykes tells me to keep on' taking my turn and the breaks will come. Maybe they will.

I've had some tough years but this one beats 'em all." Eddie Smith lost his first 10 starts while sporting the best earned-run average he ever had 3.15. He lost five games by one run, two by scores of 2-1. White Sox El Foldo Even Stifles Dykes Diagnosticians agree there Is nothing wrong with the 2 -year-old. New Jersey resident that a few runs won't cure. The White Sox are suffering from a pernicious anemia at bat.

The club's el foldo has left even the ebullient James J. Dykes subdued and spiritless. His phlegmatic attitude seems to have affected the players. The Pale Hose gave Smith exactly no runs in five of his losses. Six times he was on the short end by a single run.

Only once, against Washington, was he given much positive assistance. They scored 11 runs that day, and Smith, somewhat shaken by this barrage, went on to win his first game. Smith, a 5-foot 10 -inch, 190-pounder, is accustomed to pitching well and getting nowhere. As a member of the Philadelphia Athletics, he won four games, dropped 17, in 1937. Twelve of his setbacks' were by one run margins.

His earned-run average that year was a respectable 3.93. For the sake of comparison, Red Ruffing won 21, lost 7 for the world champion Yankees the following season with an e.r.a of 3.32.

I. Melio has planned to turn over his entire purse to his parents to keep them comfortable while he's in the army. But the Phils have a baseball game scheduled in Shibe Park tomorrow night and that means no Bettina-Dorazio fight at all if the battlers don't finish their business this evening.

Although he has not been the country's top money winner the last few years his chum, Ben Hogan, holding that distinction Nelson has shown a emarkable propensity for capturing the really big purses. He has finished in the money in 39 consecutive tournaments over a period of 18 months. Yesterday Nelson was out in 33, back in 34.

He was down to Heafner only once during the playoff. Two up at the turn, he was converting it into a rout to- ward the close. Probably the match was decided as early as the fifth hole where Nelson, already 1-up, blasted into 1 the hole from about 35 feet for an i eagle two to beat Heaf ner's birdie three. After that experience Heaf ner must have realized that it was no use. .1 i Janesville Oshkosh 4 12 AB 4 11 3 2 1 Kelly.ss 5 12 5 2 1 Aberson.rf 4 11 Koller.lf 5 12 Janes.lf 4 0 1 5 0 3 Vrablich.c 5 13 Bixby.ss 5 0 1 Kristi.lb 5 0 0 Johnson, 3b 5 0 2 Partee.cf 4 13 Oates.lb 5 0 0 Lacey.p 4 10 Dalpar.c 4 0 1 Pahr.p 0 0 0 Schabow.p 2 11 0 0 0 Totals 39 7 13 Totals 33 6 12 JanesTille 006 000 1007 Oshkosh 200 000 400 6 Toledo 3IiIwaul.tP AB AB Dillinger.3b 5 0 0 Stanky.ss 4 11 5 2 3 4 11 Byrnes.ef 3 3 2 Peck.rf 4 12 Stevens.lb 5 11 Becker.lb 4 11 Bell.lf 5 0 2 Secory.lf 4 11 Farrott.rf 0 0 0 Norman.cf 3 0 2 5 0 1 George.c 4 0 1 4 0 0 4 0 1 Spindel.c 3 11 Naktenis.p 10 0 Marcum.p 4 0 2 tGullic 10 0 Schulz 0 10 Kush.p 10 0 Hanning.p 0 0 0 0 0 JClarke 10 0 Totals 39 8 12 Totals 35 5 10 Fond dn Lae "Wis.

The demonstration came as the grand finale to that golfing circus known as the Tarn O'Shanter Open tournament.

Yesterday Nelson crushed big Clayton Heafner of Durham, N. by four strokes in their 18- hole playoff for the championship of the dizziest of all golf events, The pair had tied at the end of tne regular 2 holes, with totals of 2S0. As though to atone for his un accountable lapse of the previous day, when he soared to an in- glorious 77 on the fourth round the ex-Texan took Tarn O'Shan- ter's soggy acres apart with a 67 five under par to send Heafner down for the count. Not that Heafner weakened. The big fellow stayed in there gamely all the way to score his 71.

(NEA) What so suddenly transformed Louis Novikoff from an All-America out to an outstanding National League slugger The change came just when Jimmy Wilson and the others had made up their minds that, as a major league hitter, Lou Novikoff was an excellent harmonica player, Irish tenor and gag man. But Chicago Cub fans, hungry for someone to root for, shouted for Novikoff until Jim Gallagher suggested that the Mad Russian be employed regularly.

President Gallagher grasped the bucks office value of the Bruins' first colorful performer since Hack Wilson. That gave Novikoff his first real big league opportunity. Manager Wilson lectured Novikoff on hustle, related the success stories of others who refused to permit adversity to get them down. He told Novikoff the story of Morrie Arnovich, who had that one big year with the Phillies on little more than the old college try. Wrigley Has Had to ray Lou Novikoff Only $30 But the momentum that swept Novikoff, from a bloke who could not hit the ball out of the infield and took too many third strikes to a confident .300, third-slot hitter of tremendous power, came when Philip K.

Wrigley gave the squatty gent from Los Angeles' Boyle Heights a $10 bonus for striking out swinging. Novikoff, who led every minor league in which he performed, is a free-swinging bad ball hitter.
