TEN FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1945. Bobby Feller Returns to Baseball Wars Tonight Defeat Columbus 3-2 As Indians Take Beating From St. Paul. (By The Associated Press) The Milwaukee Brewers bounded back into the lead in the Ameri- i can association when they defeated Columbus, 3 to 2 last night while Indianapolis, long time first place tenant, was taking a 4 to 1 beating from St. Paul.

Julio Acosta was the winning moundsman in the triumph which netted the Milwaukeeans a one game lead. He and "Froggy" Brunswick figured in a sharp mound duel until the seventh inning when the Brews bagged two tallies on successive singles by Johnny Price, Arky Biggs, Lew Flick and Gene Nance. Ernie Rudolph allowed only four hits a sthe Saints made it four in a row over the Indians. Rudolph had the Tribe shut out with one hit until the ninth inning when a double by Joe Mack and singles by Gil English and Bob Dill produced the only Indianapolis run. Kansas City turned back Toledo by a 2 to 1 score behind the steady pitching of Joe Valenzuela.

Al La- Macchia, who started for Toledo, was chased in the fifth for protesting a decision, Elwood Knierim, who succeeded him, yielded the winning run in the seventh when Johnny Kreevich singled home the doubling Johnny Ostrowski. Hank Nowak's home run with two on bases in the last half of the 12th inning gave the Minneapolis Millers a 6 to 4 verdict over Louisville. Woody Abernathy, Miller southpaw, went the distance. Nowak smacked his circuit clout off Harry Kimberlin, who had relieved Rex Cecil in the twelfth.

By TED MEIER New York--(fP)--One of boxing's most pleasing bouts of the summer season is on tap at Madison Square Garden tonight with Welterweight Champion Freddie "Red" Cochane and Rocky Graziano tangling in a return non-title 10-rounder. Lured by the prospect of again watching Graziano of Brooklyn knocked out the Elizabeth, N.

champ, a crowd of 17,000 is expected to pay close to $100,000, one of the biggest gates of the year. The Broadway betting boys, as in the first bout on June 29, have made Rocky a 1 to 2 favorite and quote even money on Rocky's chances of gaining his fourth straight Garden kayo. Oddly, the Jersey redhead who likely will be outweighed by 10 pounds, may be the sentimental favorite of the crowd. Before meeting Rocky, Cochrane was regarded in some quarters as a "cheese" champion. His gallant showing on June 29, however, demonstrated he was "no bum." His followers increased when he offered no alibi.

"'I just got nailed, that's all," he said referring to his 10th knockout after being floored in the ninth. Cochrane, much better boxer, was leading Rocky on points up to the sixth round of their first meeting when his legs tired. Rocky, always tearing in with wild swings, cornered Red several times during the round and beat him severely. Peas were such a favorite in ancient Rome that candidates for office handed them out as today's politicians give out cigars. Stradivarius, famous Italian violin maker, sold his instruments for about $16; today they bring as much as $12,000 each.

Chapman, who asks only that his ball players "put out" their all, was signed yesterday to pilot the Phillies in 1946.

Salary terms were not disclosed. Chapman was named temporarily in a surprise move June 30 after Fred Fitzsimmons resigned. And since then his Phillies have played what is perhaps their finest baseball in many years. Under Chapman's management, the Phils have won 18 games and lost 30 to hike their percentage 52 points.

(AP Wirephoto.) TRAPSHOOTING MEET IS SLOWED BY RAIN Unfinished Business Vies With Grand American. By HAROLD HARRISON Vandalia, O. There was some unfinished business today to vie with the fabulous Grand American handicap for interest as the waterlogged Grand American trap- shoot drew to its close. The unfinished business was the preliminary handicap and the fact there still was a lot of shooting to be done in that event left open the possibility that the shoot might even run into its fourth day.

Approximately 150 marksmen slowed by steady rain still were waiting to start today in the preliminary but the leaders--well oul in front--were A. F. Jones of Thief River Falls, among the men and Mrs. Isaac Andrews of Spartanburg, S. among the women Defending champion today in the Grand American was Leslie C.

Jepson of Dwight, who hasn't fired a shot yet in competition in this meet. "I just didn't have the Jepfion said as he watched the show yesterday. I only had 200 shells and I wanted to have a few for practice." He shot from 18 yards last year but tomorrow he'll be back at the 22-yard stripe. But he, like most of the others, weren't so much concerned with the yardage as the lack of practice. The other major championship to be decided today as the all- around title and'there it was Herschel Cheek of Clinton, who was sitting in the king row.

Cheek went into the grand with 290 300. BOROWY PITCHING AGAINST BRECHEEN Results of Fights. Fall River, Kronis, 131, Boston, outpointed Johnny Cool, 135, Worcester, 10.

Chicago was Hank Borowy against Harry Brecheen on the pitcher's mound today for the league-leading Chicago Cubs and the second place St. Louis Cardinals as the big three-game showdown series opened at Wrigley field.

Capacity throngs of 40,000 were expected, with all box seats sold out weeks ago. The Cvbs now lead the defending champions by five and one- half gair.es, although the Cards have beaten the Chicagoans seven out of 10 games this season. St. Louis has 37 games remaining on its schedule, of which 12 are with the Cubs. Grimm's charges have 39 games left.

The Cub manager's minimum objective will be to break even in the dozen battles with the pursuing champions, who have lost seven more contests than the Cubs. Grimm plans to use Bay Prim on the mound against the Cards tomorrow, with either Claude Pas- seau or Henry Wyse expected to start Sunday. Arnie Herber Signed. New York Arnie Herber veteran forward passing star of the Green Bay Packers who made a football comeback with the New York Giants last season, has signed for another season, President John V.

Ruth Considers Ty Cobb As Greatest of Players By JOE REICHLER New York--(IP)--Babe Ruth worshippers might be shocked to learn that the old Bambino himself considers Ty Cobb the greatest ball player ever to don spikes. The two ancient rivals are on opposing sides again, Cobb having come here from his California home to manage the western all-stars against Babe Ruth's Easterners in Esquire's boys' baseball game at the polo grounds Tuesday night, "Make no mistake about that," bellowed the home run king. "The old boy was the greatest player I ever saw or hope to see.

When I was pitching I had fair success against all the other great hitters, but Cobb was one guy I never could get out. "I had a reputation for being a slugger and I guess I could hit 'em pretty far at that, but that guy Cobb could do everything--better than any player I ever saw. Old Georgia Peach was a a hitter, a spectacular fielder, a wonderfui thrower and oh boy, how he could run. "You think I set a lot of records," the Babe went on wiping his brow, "why the old boy still owns, how many records is it, Ty? Forty-two? "They say .1 used to scare pitchers just by strolling to the plate but those guys always had a remedy for me. Whenever they were afraid I'd knock one out of the park, they'd walk me and their worries would be over.

But once Cobb got on base then their worries really began. He would upset not only the pitcher or catcher, but the infield as well by going from first to third on a sacrifice bunt, scoring from second on an infield, out taking two bases on an outfield fly and making delayed steals. "Fans still talk about the home run I hit in the 1932 world series 22; Kimball, St. Paul, 17. Stolen bases--Danneker, Minneapolis, 48; Wentzel, Indianapolis, 24.

Pitching-- Wallace, Indianapolis, 14-3; Durheim, Indianapolis, 7-2. off Charley Root of the Cubs after I jxjinted to the rightfield stands. Well, I once remember Cobb beating out four bunts down the third basp line in one game against Billy Bradley, a wonderful third baseman for Cleveland. That was after Cobb warned Bradley he would bunt to him every time he got up. Another time Cobb warned Lou Criger, a great catcher with Boston, that he would steal second, third home on him first chance he got.

Well, the first time up Cobb walked and on three pitches stole second, third and home against the dumbfounded Criger. "Yes, add that to the fact Cobb led the league twelve times in thirteen years, three times with over .400 averages, finished with a lifetime mark of .367 and tops all hitters in total hits, runs, triples, total bases and stolen bases and you have the greatest player of them all."

Knoxviile, man who has dominated play during the past two years recognized today a new trend in big time golf: "It's no longer a one-man show." Byron Nelson fired a five-under- par 67 to take the first round lead yesterday in the $13,333 Knoxviile open. Yet when he reached the Scoreboard he found two old professional rivals and a young amateur breathing hot on his neck. Just a stroke behind with 68's were Lt.

By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Bobby Feller returns to the baseball wars tonight after a four-year hitch in Uncle Sam's navy and the, odds are all in favor of his picking up where he left off in 1941. Rapid Robert may not be as razor sharp against the league- leading Detroit Tigers under the Cleveland arcs as he was when he won 25 for the tribe in his last full season, but he has been managing and throwing for a top flight Great Lakes navy team this season.

Al Eenton, Red Ruffing, Hank Greenberg, Buddy Lewis, Dave Per- riss and Charley Keller are proving every day that a returning serviceman ball player needs little more than a shave and a haircut to step right back into his big league berth. Brilliant Record is the outstanding example of a successful ex-GI with his brilliant 19-6 win record for the Boston Red Sox althugh he was just a minor league performer before Pearl Harbor. Ruffing has copped four of five for the Yankees and Benton's 11-4 performance is a big reason for the Tiger's success. Lewis is hitting .342, including 13 extra base blows, for a ton club that has become a definite flag threat since his return from the army air force. Greenberg, after a faltering start, has leveled off at .324, with 15 doubles and 7 homers to top the Detroit hitters.

Lesser lights such as Harry Lowrey, Paul Gillespie and Mickey Livingston of the Chicago-Cubs, and rookies Red Schoendlenst of the Cardinals and Ken Gables of Pittsburgh haven't found the going too rough, Jim Tobin assured Feller of a first place target to shoot at when he hurled the Bengals to a 4-3 verdict over Philadelphia yesterday, upping their margin over idle Washington to one full game. Tigers Win 14th Although the A's banged Tobe's "nothm' ball" for eight hits including two doubles, 10 blows off Don Black enabled Detroit to close a 21-game home stand with its 14th decision over the eastern invaders, Washington opens a vital four- game set in the Yankee stadium today while the Tigers joust with the Indians. All other clubs in the' American league were idle yesterday. Brooklyn staved off New York's threat to the Dodgers' third place berth on a four-hit, 4-1 night game triumph by Rookie Ralph Branca. Pittsburgh handed Cincinnati its sixth straight setback and its 19th in the last 21 starts, with Walter Beck scattering nine safeties for a 6-2 edge.

All other National league teams were unscheduled. son. "But I only have a one-stroke lead. This thing is getting tougher." Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Sanford, and Ky Laffoon of Chicago, had 70's.
