itters Dominate Play In Texas League's Recent Qames
84 Wallops Made
By Teams In Four
Tilts Last Night
Hank Oana Gets Cats
Back Into Running
With 7-0 Victory
By United Press
After weeks of play in which
the pitchers held the upper
hand in the Texas league re-
sults of recent games indicate
the hitters have turned the tab-
les and batting averages are
climbing.
Take last night, for instance.
With the exception of Dallas—
which yesterday sent two of its
better ball players, Merv Con
nors and George Jansco. to Fort ,
Worth—every team got at least
10 hits. A hurried compilation
showed 84 blows in four games.
Nine of those hits were home-
runs. Four were triples and 14
went for doubles. Only A1 Bra-
zle, on the mound for Houston,
had a comparatively easy time
of it, working against Dallas.
He permitted four hits and the
Rebels committed five errors.
The score was 8 to 2.
Two games last night pro-
ved that the team with the
most homeruns can lose ball
games.
Oklahoma City got four home
runs but lost to Beaumont.
The Indians built up an 8 to
3 lead on homers—two by Joe
Devincenzi and one each by
Carl Kott and Nortbert Barker
—but the Exporters got 18 hits
to the Indians' 10 and won 9 to

By Jack Cuddy
NEW YORK, July 30
-—The boxing world is
for the percentage to catch up
with Ray (Sugar) Robinson, the
sensational young welterweight
who never has been beaten as
an amateur or professional.
The experts can't digest young
Robinson. He's a itu iching pfg-
zle who defies explanation. Be-
11-; se of his build ao:l his s'jie,
h< should have been beaten
• fnty. But. he nev.-p.-wa^.— ■.
This tall, negro kiJ from Har-
lem, who'd rather dance than
fight, has hammered cut the
longest consecutive winning
streak in pugilistic history. He
has registered 121 straight
victories as amateur and pro- j
fessional—89 as a simon pure
and 32 as a pro.
Even'Joe Louis, who enjoyed,
perhaps the most swath-cutting
rise in heavyweight history, was
knocked out by Max Schmeiing
in his 28th professional fight,
after having various difficulti-
es as an amateur. And Jack
Dempsey not only was knock-
ed out by Jim Flynn early in
his career, but he also lost a
four-round decision to Fat Wil-
lie Meehan a short time later.
And we saw Dempsey almost
get his belly caved in back in
1915 in a 10-round bout with
Johnny Sudenberg at Tonapah,
Nev. He barely won the decis-
ion and was sick at the final

If Young Robinson were
a compact slugger who wine
in barricaded by forehead
and elbows, with a lethal
hook in either hand, Lam-
mCr's Lane might under**
stand his consecutive streak.
But 21 year old Sugar is
net tl lit type. He's a long
tall kid, who packs only
about 143 pounds on a six-
foot chasis. And he's a
straight up and down pei%
former. He combines fancy-
dan boxing without slug-
ging.
He doesn't shuffle in like
Louis, trying to hand-feint or
body-feint an opponent into a
move, so that he might counter
with a knockout punch to the
exposed body or head. Instead he
is a dancing dynamiter who al-
ways is the man in motion, invit-
ing the counter punch. He gal-
lops about the ring like a
love-smitten antelope. He neith-
er bobs nor weaves. And at close
quarters, he merely holds his
head high—as if in disdain—and
makes virtually no hostile moves
toward his clinching opponent.

Ceiling Price Set
For Fur Garments
Fur coats didn't sell very well
last March, so OPA officials
have figured out a new schedule
of celling prices that can he
charged for this type of mer-
chandise.
Prices to be charged for wo-
men's fur garments may not be
higher than sellers charged for
the same type of wraps and furs
last season, the OPA has ruled.
For retails the base selling
period from which the maxi-
mum price may be established
is from July to December 1941,
and for wholesalers the price
must be based on prices charged
in June, July and August, 1941.
OAKLAND, Calif., July 30
__(UP)— Hal Chase, 56, one
of the greatest first basemen-
in baseball history, fought
for his life today in High-
land hospital where he lay
critically ill.
Attendants reported early
today that he was uncon-
scious.
He was picked up by po-
lice yesterday in response
to a woman's call that a
"ragged and tattered man"
was on her lawn. He bore
little resemblance to the
baseball star who was hail-
ed as the perfect stylist in
major league infields dur-
ing the era that produced
T.v Cobb, Tris Speaker and
Honus Wagner.
An examination disclosed
that he was seriously ill. The
nature of his illness was not
determined.
