Savold Scores
TKO Over Nova
WASHINGTON. (UP) — Lee
Savold, the Des Moines Spoiler,
today joined the waiting list of
heavyweights who will get a fling
at Private Joe Louis' crown—the
U. S. Army permitting.
Promoter Mike Jacobs conceded
that Savold earned a berth in the
challenging bracket last night by
carving out an upset technical
knockout victory over Lou Nova
in eight rounds of a scheduled 10-
round Navy Relief battle.
"But it’s all . up to Uncle Sam,”
Uncle Mike sighed. "Joe Louis
belongs to the Army now and it’s
up to them to say when Joe can
fight and whether he can fight.”
Jacobs indicated that the sum-
mer schedule would be some-

It appeared the army would

at least once this summer, * so
Joe can pick up enough change
to pay something like $117,000
on his 1941 income taxes. In that
case, it would be a toss-up among
Pastor, Savold and Conn as to
the opponent.
One thing is sure—Nova won’t
be it. The California Yogi man
was dispatched from the heavy-
weight title scene in conclusive
fashion by Savold. By the time
Savold got through snapping his
left, Nova looked lige a fugitive
from a blood bank.
Nova’s handlers had to .call it
quits after the eight round to
spare Lou from possible serious
nrm a few seasons before and he
was in a slump.

summer of 1940.

his sixth triumph of the season

the name of Joe Medwick from
the hearts of the Dodger rooters.
Medwick and Davis came to
Brooklyn together. Larry Mac-
Phail got them for four players
and $100,000. When they arrived.
Medwick was promptly lionized.
His tremendous hitting, the flock
shouted in unison, would win the
pennant without further delay.
As for Davis, he crept into
Fbbets Field unnoticed, unloved ,
and virtually unwanted.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (UP)
—Big Ed Dudley of Colorado
Springs led the way today with
a comforting 66—six under par
—as 102 professionals started the
final 18-hole qualifying round in
the National PGA golf tourna-
ment at Seaview Country Club
today. ,
Dudley, the PGA president,
hasn’t won an individual title
since he took the Sacramento
Open in 1937. He barely qualified
for this event by taking the final
Philadelphia district berth. But
he was hittting every shot yester-
day and hi« 34-32—66 equalled
the tournament play ’ mark set
by Fred Mgrrison at Los Angeles
in 1939. 4
In a three-way tie one stroke
back of Dudley were Sammy
Byrd, one time major league base-
ball star; Corp. Jim Turnesa of
Fort Dix, N. J. and Harry Cooper.
All alone at 68 was Willie Gog-
gin, White Plains, N. Y. Grouped
at 69 were Gene Sarazen, three-
time winner of the championship;
Byron Nelson, outstanding favor-
ite to defeat all comers at match
play, and Clarke Morse. The 70
group had Benny Hogan, an-
other favorite who is handicap-
ped by a wrist injury; Dutch
Harrison, who had the best nine
of the day with a 31 on his in-
i them is metal, though, thus com-
govern j inning strength with minimum
1937 and 1938.
Kinder, who hails from. Plain-
field, N. J., made a hole in one
when he sank a seven iron tee
shot on the 146-yard 12th hole.
Walter Hagen, who emerged
from retirement to lend his golf-
ing fame to the game's drive for
service relief funds, had a 40-39
—79. One of his former fairway
foes, Leo Diegel, carded a 380-
39—77. Defending champion Viea
Ghezzi, who doesn’t have to quali-
fy for the match play rounds,
shot a 38-39—77. Another army
entrant, Corp. Ed (Porky) Oliver,
came in with a 39-39—78.
When the 36-hole qualifying
test ends late today, the top 32
men will be eligible for the match
play which halves the field daily
until only two men remain for
Sunday’s final match.

PITTSBURGH. (UP) — Lew
Jenkins, the former lightweight
champion from Sweetwater, Tex.,
was knecked out by Fritzie Zivic,
former welterweight champion,
in the final round before a crowd
estimated at 13,000. Zivic weigh-
ed 144, Jenkins 138.
Referee Ernie Sesto refused to
allow Jenkins to come out for the
tenth round because of a cut over
his left eye. Zivic won seven
rounds and had Jenkins on the
floor for a one-count in the eighth. .
Four times Jenkins slipped and
fell during the Army-Navy Re-

Pitchers Are
Catching Up
With Hitters
NEW YORK. (UP) — The pit-
chera are beginning to catch up
with the hitters in the major lea-
gues. The last .400 hitter has pass-
ed out of the picture in the aver-
ages and it’s getting more dif-
ficult with the passing of each
day to get a base-hit.
The pitchers were bearing down
yesterday and came off with most
of the honors. The returns show:
Only one team scored in double
figures. (The Cardinals with ten
runs.)
Only four homers were hit in
eight games, two in each league.
Only three teams hit in double
figures. The Cards got 13 hits,
In his last 27 innings of work,
the opposition has reached him
for exactly one run.
There is no easy explanation
for his sudden success. Maybe
that master trader Branch Rickev
made the same sort of mistake
that master blunderer P. K.
) rigley made before him. Both
gentlemen cut Davis loose and
threw him away as the tip in a
big deal. And on both occasions
he has returned to haunt his
ex-bosses.
Wrigley used him as part pay-
ment fol Dizzy Dean. While OF
Diz won just about a dozen
games for Wrigley, Davis won
36 for Rickey. Then Tickey toss-
ed him to MacPhail to seal the
Medwick transaction. After Rickev

the White Sox chow did they do
it?) and the Browns 10. All the
rest were pretty much under the
pitcher’s thumb.
Curt Davis, Dodger veteran,
fashioned the best pitching per-
formance— f two-hit 3-0 shut-
out over the Phils. Four other
clubs were held to one-run.
The Yankees did themselves the
most good by increasing their
American League lead to three
and a half games with a 3-1
triumph over the Red Sox while
the Indians were flip-flopping for
their fifth straight loss. Spud
Chandler gave up seven hits and
was aided by three Yankee double
plays, making the world’s
champs’ total 50 in 34 games. Joe
Gordon hit safely in his tenth
straight game and Buddy Has-
sett drove in two runs and scored
the other.
Chubby Dean, Indians’ lefty,
and Bill Deitrich, White Sox be-
spectacled right-hander, were
locked in a 1-1 pitching duel until
the ninth when Dean faltered.
The White Sox cracked out four
hits and scored four runs, win-
ning, 5-1.
Sid Hudson outdueled Phil
Marchildon last night before 11-
507 at Philadelphia as the Sen-
ators beat the Athletics, 5-3. Hud-
son gave up nine hits but had
the A’s blanked until the eighth
when he enjoyed a five-run lead.
Marchildon’s wildness and poor
support contributed to his de-
feat.
The St. Louis Browns nosed out
Detroit, 3-2, on a costly Tiger
error in the ninth. Hal Newhous-
er held the Browns to four hits
until the eight. Bob Muncrief al-
lowed only four hits in the eight
