IjlMissing Punch Emphasizes BOTH SIDES iHisiiiiiiiciiiiiiiiiinraiiMB Dodgers' Second-Base Gap BY BEAU JACK IS 'BEAUCOUP' AT GARDEN GATE Big Factor as Indoor Season Approaches Record $1,250,000 By PAUL GOULD The seven lean weeks have come and gone and the Temple of Slam, Madison Square Garden, throws wide its doors at sundown Friday. The beak-bashing faithful will as THE CRAZIEST THING your Needlenose as crazy as the one we've got?" asked Ernie White, the Cardinal pitcher. And who might "Needlenose" be? "Walker, of course" cut in Walker Cooper. "You got i ii.t iuMto. one of 'em, too, ain't you, on the Dodgers? And, buddy, one is enough The Cards' Harry Walker, brother of Dixie, only grinned.

He was regaling a girl reporter, in the Ebbets Field dugout, if' el z. I naiiaai" Bnm iiwaisimsiiiii rnirifiiiuntiiif" iT JOHNNY-COME-LATELY Old Johnny Cooney is anything but that, but he arrived too late and was an easy out at third on Frenchy Bordagaray's grounder to Stu Marion in seventh inning at Ebbets Field yesterday. Thus Cooney wasted a pinch single. Cards won. Ernie White played with him in the mi nors.

He'd Just chop down on th' ball, an' take off, an' there he was on first base "Well," I said, "Dixie Walker could not run like that, but he could sure run for Mayor hereabouts and make It "Needlenose oughta be in a big town, too," said White. "He loves Broadway. Likes to hang around them shows, an' git to know people. You know he got up an' sang with Harry James' orchestra No, we didn't know he had a voice like that "I didn't say he had the voice," laughed White, "but he sure had th' nerve!" MAYBE HE'LL WRITE A BOOK NOW! Jacobs Beach Is agog about the improvement in Beau Jack, who fights Ott Slates Mungo For Relief Roles Van Flashes Pinch-Pitching Skill In Helping Lohrman Win Over Reds By HAROLD C. BURR Manager Mel Ott is grooming Van Lingle Mungo to become a regular member of the Giants' wrecking crew and is beginning to see the skies over Coogan's Bluff clearing.

The Wild Man from Brooklyn came to the rescue of Bill Lohrman in the ninth inning at the Polo Grounds yesterday and for a semble anew under high priest Mike Jacobs at the stroke of leather against epidermis and Secretary Henry Morgenthau in Washington, dismayed over the Ruml Plan, will brighten when he hears the tinkle of mint in the 49th SU cash registers. Two Titles Are on Line The occasion, of course, Is the 15-round date Beau Jack has with Bob Montgomery and there's the slight matter of the world's lightweight title at stake. There's also another "title" on the line, reports Nat Rogers, the 20th Century Sporting Club matchmaker. This is the one Mr. Morgenthau is principally in terested in.

According to Nat's ready reckoner, this show should draw something like $80,000 from the aforemen tioned baseball faithful and when it does, the Garden will have a new "champion" record. It wiU have broken all existing gates for an indoor season by having lured a cool million and a quarter smackers. An it is also the aforemen tioned Mr. Jack (not the Jack of the box office) who was responsible for the renaissance the indoor season. Tills is the Beau's fourth appear ance in the Garden this year and to him will be credited something close to 300,000 of the million-odd dollars collected during the past season.

The Augusta shoeshine boy who made good hanging shiners on his opponents' eyes magnetized $70,000 and $71,000 fighting Fritzie Zivic and then enticed $105,000 in his most recent go with Henry Arm strong. Aside from the crass speculation of dollars and cents (you can't take it with you, remember?) the contest will furnish an interesting line as to Beau's hitherto unexplored capacity to go full 15 rounds The controversy probably will be settled if a knockout does not Intervene. In his three years as a pro (the anni versary of his debut is today, May 20) Beau has engaged in 53 fights and where several went the limit (ten or 12 rounds) it was noted that he was leg-weary and arm-weary at the close. Gives 'Everything He's Got' To the suspicion that he couldn't last the 15 titular heats, Jack had one answer: "I give everything I got every one of my rounds, never loafing, never fooling. What's the sense of having any pep after the last bell? I can fool 'em by going 15 rounds without being tired but then again perhaps I'll keep kidding the experts.

Maybe I'll end it suddenly and early with a kayo and this silly argument will still go on." Monty has never gone more than 12 heats himself, so the score is even where he is concerned. Five times before he came to grips with a titleholder, but on each of those occasions it was only for the glory of it all, never for the crown. DODGERS-REDS PITCHING RECORDS DODGERS VS.

Not in the Beau's punch, I hasten to add but in his penmanship. Not so long ago the Georgia shoeshine boy couldn't read or write. But a tutoring campaign was started.

"We're practical' him every day," said Chick Wergeles, the little battler's handler. Well, when the Beau went into the Boxing Commission's offices the other day to sign the papers for tomorrow night's bout, everybody leaned over to see how he did it. Would It be an Well, lo and behold! the Beau cut loose with the finest, freeest Spencerian you ever saw. His signature fairly flowed onto the paper. "Chee!" said one habitue of such signings, "th' guy Writes better'n Joe Louis now.

Joe always looks like he's drawin' when he signs!" CAMILLI'S "FARMHANDS" When Dolph Camilli told Branch Rickey during the Winter he intended to stay out of baseball (and he was sincere!) because he could not get hands to work his big ranch in California And when Mr. Rickey relayed the news to reporters Well, sir, things really started to happen! "The first week," Dolph said, "we got maybe a hundred letters from people offering to come out and work for us, if I would only play ball. I figured that was that, but it was only the beginning "Yes," laughed the very pleasant Mrs. Camilli, "as the papers in the smaller towns and through the West and South started to pick up the story you should have seen the HAROLD PARROTT with tales or now ne eniurces the law down in Alabammy. Harry is a sheriff during the off-season in some whistle-stop town near that town Southerners pronounce "Bummingham."

Durocher Likely To Return Unless Rickey Can Trade By HAROLD PARROTT Our Dodgers' startling in ability to string together a batting rally of any respect able proportions today had turned a cruel and revealing spotlight on the club's definite unseaworthiness at second base. Failure to get runs naturally emphasized the flaws in defense that would have been glossed over had Brooklyn had one big inning yesterday, when they dropped a second straight to the Cardinals. A case in point is the sixth, when Borda-garay singled, Vaughan walked and Medwick singled, with none out.

Only one run resulted, because of mal- and misfeasances at the plate and on the bases. GIossop, Kampouris on Spot And so it is Alban GIossop and Alex Kampouris, current tenants of the second base job, who are on the spot. The experts have decided they will not do, and that they are the bunions which are giving the Dodgers their limp. With Eddie Dyer, Boss Rickey's successor in the Cardinal scheme of things, and Will Cox, owner of the renascent Phillies, in the Eb-bets Field loft yesterday, trade rumors whistled through the eaves. It is difficult to deal today, however, because of the manpower shortage.

Rickey, controlling many players here and in Montreal, may induce Mr. Cox to deal Brooklyn a helpful player, with the proper bait. You cannot hand Cox that old Philly malarkey, cash, however. He does not operate as Gerry Nugent did. Rickey himself knows even better than Dyer what playing talent is in the Cardinal chain, however.

It is doubly painful for Boss Branch to be so short of a second baseman when he sees the Cardinals with a superfluity of same in Capt. Jimmy Brown (now benched with a bad finger) and Lou Klein, who may be the prize rookie of the year. It is entirely possible that the Dodgers will have to mend their fences with their own hands and their own material. Leo Durocher has been working out daily and may try going back to short, with Arky Vaughan at third and Billy Herman at second. The Brain however, is doubtful about Lippy's ability to go more than ten days at a time at good speed.

He thinks he can. They say he can't. Herman could be returned to second, even if Vaughan stayed at short. This is vetoed by smart baseball men who say Herman is in his right slot at third and that it would be a mistake to return Billy to second, where the slowness added years have piled on him would be showed up. Need One High-Class Infitldcr It all boils down to the fact that one high-class inflelder be he a third baseman, a second baseman or shortstop would make the Dodgers shipshape.

There was a concerted hunt on today for such citizen. Aside from this worry, the Dodgers had little to moan about. Young Harry Brecheen, who throws a screwball and fine curve, put the quietus on them for the second straight day, but at last the Cards have now run out of southpaws. Brooklyn will have to beat Mort Cooper today to square the series. Mort has been moaning about his elbow, but they say that is when he pitches best.

Melton Replaces Newsom For the Dodgers, Rube Melton works today on two days' rest, because of Buck Newsom's hurry- call departure for his home in Carolina. The Cards say Reuben cannot possibly pitch another brilliant game against them today, as he did in Monday's five-hit, 10 classic. If Reuben does, he will have a definite Indian sign on the champs. Incidentally, the Cards can haul to within a game of Brooklyn today by winning. The Braves are already that close but no body on the worried Dodger club last night mentioned the Braves.

They know the Cards are the team they will have to beat. COOKED BY COAKER St. Louis Brooklyn abrhoa abrhoa 4 0 1 12 4 11 3 0 H. 4 0 2 3 0 Vaughan, ss 301 Si Musial If 4 11 4 0 Medwick. If 40 1 10 W.

S. A. L. and the 26th annual A. A.

P. S. track and field championships, to be held at Trl borough Stadium on Randalls Island and Baker Field, 218th St and Broadway, Manhattan, re spectively, will conflict on Saturday. Heretofore, they have been usually held a week or two apart, but Baker Field is available only for this Saturday and naturally the date was grabbed. Bishops Back in Meet The A.

A. P. S. is battle of the boroughs in the true sense of the word as Mt. St.

Michael's of the Bronx will be striving its mightiest to prevent Bishop Loughlin Memorial of Brooklyn from resuming where it left off in 1941 when It captured the carnival for the fifth straight time. The Bishops did not defend last Spring and Poly Prep, which had dominated the affair until Loughlin came upon the horizon, came into its own again. The meet will start at 10 a.m with the midgets and juniors holding sway and three senior field events to be decided. The fixture promises to be a thriller as Mt. St.

Michael's will be out to take the measure of arch-enemy Loughlin. Coaches Ernie Hjerfcberg and George Eastment have done plenty of shifting in the mad hunt for valu able points. A few more tally artists are likely to be unearthed for each school in the C. H. S.

A. A. novice championships billed for tomorrow afternoon at Red Hook Park. Only one champion will defend his laurels and he is John Howard of Fieldston, who will attempt to retain the running high Jump laurels. He will have his work cut out for him, particularly with Les Kleist of Mt.

St. Michael's his chief threat. The Catholic indoor tltlist is one of the favorites to score a double as he is also an efficient broad juniper. Loughlin boasts one Indoor titlist, Bill Manico, half-miler. The Bishops' other big noises are Tom Byrnes, high hurdles and pole vault; Dan Hogan, 400 and broad Jump; Joe Twomey, mile; Nick Scotto, 100-yard dash; Joe Kerrigan, 220-yard low hurdles and 880, and Gene Tagle, Dick Scha-bowsky, Bill Meisner, Jack Hafford, Jack Sherlock and Joe Rutherford, dangerous no matter In what event Eastment decides he wants them to compete.

Joe Fitzsimmons, All Hallows, Catholic indoor ruler, who won the junior event in 1942, is one of the choices in the 12-pound shot- put. The same goes for Eddie Dunne, La Salle Academy, indoor SO and 220 outdoor commander, in the century sprint. Mennis Is Menace In Jump Bill Mennis, winner of both the junior and midget high Jump for Mt. St. Michael's last year, should be a threat to teammate Kleist in the senior leaping duel.

George Orlansky, Fieldston, winner of the midget 50-yard dash and running high jump one year ago, will confine his talents to the Junior 100-yard dash.

Bad Bill Dickey and Rollie Hemsley are no longer youngsters, and if Sears keeps his weight and those high pegs to second down, he might conceivably become the Bronx bombers' first string backstop in a year or so. Already the roly-poly, apple- cheeked Fort Worth boy hits like a Yankee. Waddled Into Yankee Camp Tonnage has always been an item with young Master Sears. The first year he reported to the champions at their St. Peterburg, training camp, it was quite a sight to observe the rookie waddling across the hotel lobby of an evening.

There was plenty of Kenneth going away. "His mother feeds him too good," caustically observed Manager Joe McCarthy, watching the world go by from his easy chair in the corner. The youngster was told to go on a diet and was sent to Newark. He has been around the Yankee network and now he's back with the parent club. It cannot truthfully be reported that he outlasted Aaron Robinson, recently sent to Newark on option and highly regarded as a prospect.

The Yanks simply figured that Robinson would be lost to Uncle Sam, anyway. It was a good triple break for Sears when Ken Silvestrl was drafted. Buddy Rosar got in Dutch when he decided that a Buffalo policeman's life was the life for him and Arndt Jorgens retired from baseball. It was destiny clearing the path that leads to rainbow's end. Sears works out long hours every day catching in batting practice.

His waistline isn't disappearing overnight. He will never be one of those slim, catlike catchers. But he's making the weight without weakening himself too greatly. He's a lefthanded hitter and at Norfolk, Newark and Kansas City pulled a ball well. He's got a load of beef-on-the-spike behind his swing and the Yankee Stadium is said to have been built by a left-handed architect.

letters come in "There were hundreds of them," chuckled Dolph, "from everybody from college professors to a street cleaners. I tried to answer 'em all, but believe me, I was snowed under, and had to give up. Some were very intelligent letters, and all were sincere, helpful Dolph thought a minute, and then burst out laughing. The real topper," he said, "was from a barber who said he had cut my hair two years ago somewhere in Brooklyn. He said he would lay down his scissors an' come to California an' learn to ride a horse if only I would play first base!" Well, Camilli eventually changed his mind and decided to play, and I wouldn't bet all something to do with it! SPORTS THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1943 change got the ball to go where he was aiming.

The net result of this marksmanship was to prevent the tying run from crossing the plate and the Giants edged in ahead of the Reds, 32, for another pleasant change. "Did you notice that Eric Tipton, the last batter, had Van in the hole?" asked Ott. "But Mungo got the three-and-one pitch over and then made Eric foul out to end the Red rally, ir he had walked Tipton the dam might have burst. That kind of pitching in the pinch ought to build up the big fellow's confidence. Will Share Role With Adams "I'm going to keep Van out In the bullpen to share the relief jobs with Ace Adams.

I figure that hereafter I'll start him only occasionally." Meanwhile, the postponed debut of Napoleon Reyes pronounced Chumley laid an egg. To commemorate the historic occasion Coach Adolfo Luquc, Nap's proud countryman, unveiled the first straw skimmer of the year to appear on the Giants. But the Spanish colony of Harlem must have gones to the Bronx Zoo. The 2,587 fans present wasn't precisely an outpouring of society. The Cuban rookie chased a foul by Lonnie Prey, the first Red batter and pulled up lame.

He chased another from the bat of Gee Walker the next minute and limped to the dugout, flinging his glove away In disgust. The rain had left a soft spot in the first base coacher's box and when Reyes spikes had failed to hold he twisted too suddenly and pulled a charlie horse in his groin. Johnny Mize sustained the same sort of an injury at the exact spot last year and was in drydock for two weeks. Lohrman, poison to the Reds all last year, pitched a good game for all that he wasn't breaking his low ball away from McKechnie's right-handed hitters. Off Lohrman and Van Mungo the visitors contrieved to scatter their dozen hits so widely that they didn't score at all until the last frame and left twelve runners stranded.

Ott's Fourth Drives in Two The Giants could collect but five hits off Johnny Vander Meer, Ed Heusser and Clyde Shaun, but two of the five went places. Ott's fourth home run of the year was good for a pair of tallies in the opening Inning and Sid Gordon's mighty York Negro, and another two with Lenny Poran of Oklahoma City. He not only dodged their punches, but two ripe tomatoes which hit the ceier of the ring and splattered over the ringsiders. The crowd of 3.500, definitely anti-Galento because he refused a bout with Mickey Hayes, a local boxer, booed the Orange, N. heavyweight when he appeared wearing a head-protector.

Galento threw two or three hard punches during the exhibitions, but appeared to have trouble with his footwork. had "reduced" 28 pounds during his seven-week training period. GOODRICH NOW STAFF SERGEANT IN MARINES Washington, D. May 2r Sgt. William F.
