His six blows are the most' safeties garnered by an individual to date. Larry Dahl, of the Kernels, is his closest competitor inthe hit column, with five smacks, but the CCC's Mlquel, with a .750 record, is second in the standings.

Bradley was faced with an extremely difficult problem to keep or remove a manager whose team (at the time) was. within half a game of first place in the American league, yet in whom the players expressed lack of confidence. Wark Saves Braves From Softu Loss Because "Lefty" Jim Wark was a good firemanFriday night the Tavern Bravw softball team today can boastbf a 10-9 decision at Crown Point. ItWas a strange game in that the opening were devoted io free swinging, whereas during the closing stages a battle was raging. The Braves saw a 10-1 lead fade when Crowri Point scored four markers In the fourth and the same number in the fifth, to come within one run of a tie.

With the score at its final statds, 10-9, in the fifth inning, with one out, and Gerner perched on first base, Wark was called in to relieve Rick Youngreni and it took but one pitch to retire the side, for Beggs hit into a snappy double play, Tofte to Butterfield to R. Johnsorj. That proved to be the climax for Wark held the hosts hltless the fourth frame and the Braves could eke out but one safety In the same stretch. Prior to that thrilling" fifth the Braves uncored 10 smacks, includ-ine six in the fourth when the visitors scored the four runs whlc'i ere destined to give them vic tory. Youngren was touched for seven hits in his four and one-third Inning 'stay.

GARCIA KEEPS IIEIIOUE OF HOMELAND MANILA, June 15. (UP) The "fight of the century" as far as Manila boxing fans are concerned will be held here sometime in the alKbetween Ceferino Garcia, former middleweight champion, and LuisLogan, the dynamic "Terrible Spaniard." Despite Garcla'sdefeat by Kn Overlin, In wh4ch the Filipino "bolo- puncher" lost his crown, he Is still the favorite of the great tnass of Filipino fight followers. They have been looking forward to the first "natural" match here in many years as Logan and Garcia have a grudge of long standing to settle. Garcia's bolo lost much of its glitter the night Logan waved a few punches at Glenn Lee, the Nebraska Wildcat, who took three somersaults in two rounds and was saved from a knockout by the towel. The Impact of Logan's southpaw wallop to Lee's midriff hurt Garcia' pride.

One rainly night last December, Garcia did punch Lee to dreamland on the same bayside arena, but it took the bolo puncher all of 13 rounds to do it. Garcia's adherents, however, point with pride to the fact that in Logan's colorful career, there was only one black spot a defeat on points at the hands of Garcia himself. It is to avenge this lone defeat that Logan, has been wiDing to pay his own way to the stadium just to get a shot at Garcia. ,1 Logan did not receive a dime for his fight with Lee. He turned over all the proceeds to charity, and as a build-up even bought tickets to the fight so that his party could enter the arena.

All the traditional ballyhoo went into the pre parations for. the fight. Logan in dicated his desire to fight again. His wife turned a definite thumbs down on the proposition. Promoter Cortes wheedled and pleaded, and finally she yielded.

Logan is a crack fighter, despite his three-year lay-off. He toured most of Europe and the far west, flattening all comers with a wicked left hook. His manager wanted to take him to the states for the "big money" but, according to Logan's backers, he refused to have any thing to do with the big purses in New York. 1 The Garcia camp explains the Lee interlude by saying that Garcia is primarily a showman a Quality developed by any fighter of the championship caliber and elected to "play around" with the Nebraska Wildcat to give Manila fans their money's worth. "What's more," said the Garciam, "Luis ought to be ashamed of himself, fighting a man 11 pounds lighter.

Why, you might as well pit Little pado against Prlmo Car- The night Logan met Lee, the Castilian weighed in at 178. The forthcoming bout is an overweight match, but George Parnasus, Garcia's manager. Insists on Logan's coming down to not more than 170. Logan answered, "SI, senor." According to 'the contracts, Logan, who has put on weight during his three-year vacation from fistli ana, promises to make 170 or less, or forfeit a $1,000 guarantee. For every pound above 170 he promises to pay a fine of $500.

June Cincinnati Reds, favorites to retain their National league champion-, ship, were caught in the middle today between the high-fly ing Brooklyn Dodgers and the onrush-ing New York Giants, the two hot test clubs in the league. Threatened with the loss of sec ond place to the Giants, Cincin nati counted on Bucky Walters, whose nine-game winning streak was halted recently by the Dodgers, to slow up Leo Durocher's pace-setting club and keep the Reds within a few percentage points of first place. If Walters fails and the Giants beat, the Pirates, the Reds will drop Into third place.

Cincinnati was feeble' yesterday at bat against Hot Potato Luke Hamlin, who pitched one of the greatest games of his career, and dropped ne full game behind the Dodgers. vThe Heds made only two singles oft Hamlin and-did not get a man to second base. Hamlin was superb in scoring a victory. He didn't walk a man and went" to three balls ononly 'one" hitter 'Up from the rear to storm past the Reds if they don't start hitting, the Giants slammed out an 8-6 Victory over the Pirates or their seventh straight triumph. The Pirates knocked out Cliff Melton but the Giants carried the heaviest guns, slugging out 13 hits.

Vince DIMaggio hit two homers for the Pirates, both with the sacks empty. Frank Demaree Injured his shoulder when he collided with First Baseman Sletcher and had to retire. The Cardinals won their first game under Manager Billy South-worth by beating the Phillies, 6-2. Ernie Koy, obtained In the Medwick deal, hit a single and triple, driving In one run and scoring one. Bob Bowman went the route for the Cards, hanging up his second victory.

Dick Errickson's four-hit pitching featured the Bees 4-2 victory over the Cubs. Buddy Hassett had a perfect day, 'four for Tour," driving in two runs and scoring one. The reported mutiny in the ranks of Cleveland Indians apparently jarred some of the boys to life as the Tribe overwhelmed the Athletics, 8-0, behind Johnny Allen's two-hit pitching. Allen had a no-hitter until the eighth when Sam Chapman broke the spell with a single. Bell drove In three runs with a double and two sin-' gles to lead the Tribe's 14-hlt a't- tack.

Nineteen-year-old Hal Newhouser lef thanded his way to a five-hit game as Detroit thumped Washington, 10-1. He fanned seven and walked five for his fourth victory; McCosky and Tebbets, with three hits each, paced Detroit's 13-hlt offense. A night game crowd of 40,104 watched the Boston Red Sox their one-game "American league lead with a 5-1 vletory over the Chicago White Sox. Dennis Galehouse went the route for the third time this year, limiting the White -Sox to seven hits, for his fourth victory. Every player In he New York lineup but Joe QiMagglo hit safely as the Yankees overwhelmed the St, Louis Browns.

12-3, before 17,970 In the other night game. Charley Keller had a perfect session at the plate with "four for four" including two homers, a triple and a single. Monte Pearson allowed the Browns only nine hits for his sixth decision. FORMER GRID STAR IS! N. D.

BUD'S BILLIARDS i Ggart Ggsrette Soft Drinki LOCATED IN BLOCH'S HOTEL moNB ta By HENRY MoUJMORE (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June Everything is duck In Brooklyn at the moment. From borough president to bar ber the feeling is that the purchase of the slugging Medwlck guaran tees the National league pennant will fly from the ramparts of Eb-bets field, and that for the Dod gers to have to play the remainder of their schedules Is but a useless and bothersome formality. With the mighty Ehicky on hand to bat in the clean-up position housewives nave begun to sew on jr km "DUCKY" MEDWICK the frocks they plan to wear to the world series; taxicab drivers have turned their wits to thinking up new and more savory epithets to hurl at the American leaguers In October; and children have start ed hoarding pennies against the price of a' bleacher seat. All of which puts Ducky Medwlck In the toughest spot since the mighty Casey, with all of Mud-vllle's bankroll at stake, strode to the plate.

Probably a tougher spot, in fact, because Brooklyn is quite a few times larger than Mudvllle ever was, and its baseball fans are made of much sterner stuff. Medwlck cannot fall to deliver with that bat of his. That is, and expect to get out of Brooklyn alive. Brooklyn's baseball fanatics are not ctlt from the same cloth as thoseDetroit customers who showered Medwick with grapefruit, apples, lunch baskets and assorted edibles in that final world series game between the cardinals and the Tigers in 1934. When the Brooklyn boys and girls throw it Is for keeps.

A man cannot eat what they chunk unless he be a sword swallower or a "glass eater. So it would behoove Ducky to start hitting and keep hitting. Brooklyn fans know the tremendous price the Dodgers paid for Ducky, and they will expect him to perform to the last penny of it Look at the riding they have given players who didn't cost one fiftieth of the sum President Mac Phail laid on the line for Ducky. With that $200,000 (or thereabouts) tag on him they'll expect him to hit nothing smaller than doubles, field like Trls Speaker with a motor attached, run the bases like Cobb in a hurry and occasionally stand a round a drinks for everyone in the park. The general feeling in baseball circles Is that Ducky dogged it a bit in St.

Louis. That Is, that he wasn't satisfied with his contract or his manager and refused to do any more than was necessary to prevent his "being arrested on charges of vagrancy and loitering. If this be true, he had better shed that attitude. Brooklyn expects every -man to do his duty, even to the extent of breaking his neck chasing a fly ball when the home team is -ten runs in front and two are out in the ninth. Baseball Is more than a sport In Brooklyn.

It Is Just short of being a religion and the fana tics demand that even the bull pen pitchers and the third base coach keep husllng at all times. My guess would be that Medwlck doesn't disappoint in Brooklyn. The man has proved that he can field and -hit with the best of -nil tfme. And he has proved that he can do these thinks when they count. Now, with opportunity to become the biggest hero in Brooklyn before him, he Isn't likely to fail.

v. If he does-well, he had better be a strong swimmer, because the Gowanus canal ihat flows by Eb-bets field is deep and swept by treacherous currents.
