Hugh (Shorty) Ray, who drew up the pro rules, was on hand for his annual interpretation lecture and talked at some length on the vir of running plays quickly. Travel Note In case any of the pro teams think travel is tough this year, they should ask halfback Babe Webb, who is expected momentar ily in the Green Bay camp. Babe played in the Hawaiian senior league two years ago and was signed by the packers last year. He couldn't make the trip in time for the season. This year he started out to travel by clipper plane but his passage was cancelled and he had to take a boat instead.

There be no complaint if he can ride in each seat occasionally.

RAFFERTY GIVES SEREAN TROUNCING IN 9 ROUNDS Milwaukee Doll Rafferty, rising young Milwaukee Negro, UDDed his stock another notch last night with a ninth round technical knockout over Guy Serean of New Orleans. Rafferty weighed Serean 1322. The bout, feature of an outdoor show, started fast when Rafferty floored the ex-carnival puncher for a nine-count in the opening round. He repeated in the third, and then settled down to sharp-shooting until Mrs. Serean re fused a second's license earlier in the day asked the commission ers to stop the fight.

I 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 5 I 6 By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor New York Dixie Walker advises his Brooklyn teammate, Albie Glossop, to try pitching. You can count on one hand the players who have switched from other positions to the box with any great degree of success, but Glossop would have nothing to lose. By now it has been demonstrated that he is not a major league infielder. And. as Walker points out, there is nothing wrong with his arm unless it is that it might be erratic.

William Henry Walters is the most notable example of a player who scaled the heights as a pitcher following a half dozen seasons of mediocrity at another position third base. Jimmy Wilson couldn't bear seeing such an arm go to waste tearing the glove off the first baseman in throws across the infield, so he converted Bucky Walters into a pitcher who four years later sold for $55,000. Walters promptly helped the Cincinnati to two pennants and a world championship with 27 and 22-game campaigns that led the National League. He was adjudged the most valuable player. Red Lucas of the Reds and Bob Smith of the Braves were second basemen who became winning pitchers.

Bobby Rels. who played third base for the Dodgers, did some pitching. When Hal Schumacher reported to the Giants in 1931.

The lettermen are quarterback Al Vogt, fullbacks John Rudah and Hal Eigner, halfbacks Paul Coupoulos and Harvey Baerwald, center Greg Prodomus, guard Steve Enich and tackle Leonard Liss.

The stellar recruits from the Navy training unit include Bill Combs, an end voted Purdue's most valuable player as a senior, who played last season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and Ed Tol-koff, Missouri guard in 1938 and 1939.

Prince Hal swatted a long ball. Pitchers who switched to other positions are common. Babe Ruth being the stickout and Stan Musial a current example. Mighty few who remain pitchers could take turns in the infield or outfield, however, and some who suspected they could were badly disillusioned when given an op portunity. Wesley Ferrell of the Indians met with such good fortune at the plate while pitching that he fan cied himself another Babe Ruth, insisted upon playing the role when he pulled up with arm trouble.

Smacking the ball for distance every day was something else again, however, and Wes Ferrell soon decided that pitching was easier, even if he had to do most of it with his head. Generally speaking, pitchers are specialists. In faster company lt is just the opposite of sandlot days, when the kid pitcher bats fourth and does everything a little bit better than anybody else. The everage piicner cant nit or run fast enough to keep himself wafm. Pitchers who are accomplished fielders are rare.

Most pitchers are freaks to the extent that they can throw a ball with authority and put something on it. Period.

2 Marvels with lated Buy Lately; Make 11 Errors in Last 6 Games BY JUDSON BAILEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) A month ago the St. Louis Cardinals were being talked of as probable favorites in the World Series, but if the annual classic were opening now the New York Yankees almost certainly would be odds-on choices. They probably will be when the World Series opens in October, too. The Yankees have been picking up momentum on the home stretch while the Cardinals have been slowing down. The difference between them was shown again yesterday when" the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 3-1 while St.

Louis split a double-header with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the only games played in the major leagues. Take 13th Series Wensloff pitched four-hit ball and Roy (Stormy) Weatherly punched the winning ticket with a. two- run homer, his third in two days This gave the Yanks their 13th consecutive series and a record of having won 42 out of 59 games since the streak started on July 5. They now have plenty of power and good fielding along with the best pitching In the major leagues with a staff led by Spud Chandler, Ernie Bonham and Wensloff. Chandler has won 17 games, and Bonham and Wensloff each 12.

The Cardinals have their spectacular speed and sharp hitting, but their fielding has faltered and their pitching has become uncertain. Errors Plentiful In losing four of their last six games they have made 11 errors, five yesterday and at least one in every contest. They made 11 hits in the 10- inning first game with the Pirates and 13 in the nightcap, but rookie Alpha Brazle, who had not been beaten in any of his previous National League -starts, gave Pittsburgh a dozen blows in the opener and his teammates made three critical errors. Harry Brecheen held the Buc caneers to eight safeties in the second game and the Redbirds wrapped up the decision with a five-run flurry in the third inning. Ensign and Mrs.

Clement Bo- gaard, who have been visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Bo-gaard, left Thursday for New York, where he will enter Harvard University for a month's training course. Mrs. Don Ingersoll arrived home Tuesday from Stetsonville after spending several days at the George Baumer home.

Coach Larry Bishop says that he still has number of likely prospects expected to re port next week. his 1943 goal now is a squad of 65 men and it looks as though the mark will be reached. He hopes to keep the squad intact, a situation which will not only offer a better choice of varsity material and keener competition for the first squad berths, but will also build up a reservoir of material for next year's Tigers.

The squad is digging in with a will with two practice sessions scheduled each day until school opens. a. and p. m. Some of the Wisconsin Valley schools began football practice Monday, while others expect to get started tomorrow.

The WJA. A. rules were changed this year, eliminating previous prohibitions against starting practice before Sept. 1 and the first game before Sept. 18.

Under the new setup, schools may start practice "on the third Monday before the third Friday in September" which, this year, is Aug. 30. The final date for games, previously set at Nov. 15, has been extended to Dec. 1.

Nekoosa High is reported to be considering either abandoning football entirely this fall or playing a curtailed schedule. the reason: Coach Meiners has joined the armed forces. Wausau has been notified that the Papermak- ers will not play there this fall. Wausau, Stevens Point and An- tigo are looked on as the likely candidates for the top spot in the Valley this year. Win Brock-meyer, Wausau mentor of the squad which has won six titles in the past seven seasons, doesn't be lieve his 1943 edition of the Lumberjacks will be as strong as the one unscored upon last fall.

Jie says. Most of his key. men of 1942 were lost by graduation or to the armed forces, and others expect to be called before the current football season ends. With a half dozen or more reg ular backs and a dozen or so vet eran linemen returning, Stevens Point High is surveying their 1943 grid prospects through rose-colored specs. In the backfield.

besides recruits will be Pat Kubis-iak, Gilbert Sether, George Spal-emka, Ken Veit, Robert Clark. Vera Krueger and Max Shopinski Line veterans include Rex Ameigh, Robert Donahue, Ken Kulick, Gecrge Dallas. Garald Bombera Jerome Haidvogl. Billy Klinkert. Earl Pflugradt, Joe Slaske.
