Show - -PROVO "(UTAH) SUNDAY1 HERALD, SlrfjDAY, : "APRIL 19; 1942 PAGE ' FOUR C tWE HERALD H . ' Today's - - Sport Parade With Winning Streak Braves Amaze Critics By JACK OUENIHEK United Press Staff Correspondent , HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., April , 18 U.R) Wrapping . up a lew loose threads: BASEBALL. Golly, Isn't it about time somebody demanded - that the Boston Braves submit to saliva tests? That four-game winning win-ning streak la the longest- New ' England has enjoyed since Frank Leahy packed up at Boston College Col-lege and headed for Notre Dame. . The remarkable thing about it ail i Is that Casey Stengel, chief of -. the slap . happy warriors, has needed only five pitchers In four contests. The Braves haven't been exactly belting the ball out of the park, but on defense they've been . stingier than the gents in charge of tire rationing. It may be the miracle of the age, but the truth is Boston has given up only seven Tuns in 36 innings. Last year, sev- ' en runs were par for nine innings. "TENNIS The career critics ' who so willingly rushed into print ' with condemnation of Jack Kelly's physical fitness program have been remarkably reluctant to speak even one word of praise in behalf of Alice Marble. As you have read, this greatest of all women tennis players has gone broke trying to preach the gospel gos-pel of clean living. Had she been so inclined, ehe could easily have managed to attach herself to the government pay-roll In some capacity ca-pacity or other. Instead, she asked no favors or patronage. She went to work without asking questions. Like Joe Louis, she has proven the universal truth of an old maxim max-im that the true champion is t champion always. HORSE RACING If you have any lingering doubts as to what it takes to become a popular man at the tracks, consider the case of Don Meade. Normally, the pinch faced little veteran Is greeted s with more boos than a republican : evokes at a democratic rally and , vice versa. At the moment, he would win a popularity contest by acclamation. The reason: In the past eight days he has booted home 17 Jamaica winners. The form players are raking in the coin with shovels, begging autographs auto-graphs and strewing his pta)th with roses. Win or lose, it is doubtful if any jockey drives himself him-self harder than Meade. His success suc-cess in making good his comeback come-back has changed him a bit personally per-sonally too. He has mellowed to a surprising degree and no longer wears a sneer in self defense. BOXING A young man whom a few long shot players predicts may some day dethrone the present pres-ent heavyweight champion makes his first start among the big boys Friday night in Chicago. The name Is Johnny Colan. You may remember him as the Hell's Kitchen Kid who knocked Jimmy Webb into retirement a month ago. Colan, known around Chlcagtf as "Kid Dempsey," grew out of the middleweight ' division after lining himhelf up for a title shot by chilling Ernie Vigh and Steve Mamakos and now he may add weight so fast that he will be unable un-able to take advantage of his promised bout with light-heavy champion Gus Lesnevich. Colan now tips the scales at 178 and will weight 15 pounds more when he attains his full growth. He will meet Altus Allen in Chicago and although he still is a year awrfy from a Louis bout a number of regulars along lammer's lane have jumped aboard the bandwagon already.

Across the ring, Jimmy Blvins grinned cockily toward to-ward him. The next round was the one for Jimmy. As the. bell for the third clanged, clang-ed, Pastor came out slowly. Blvins danced out flicking his long left Suddenly the grin disappeared from the Cleveland negro's lips. Pastor shot under his out-stretched arm and battered the No. 1 ranking light heavyweight contender's con-tender's midsection. Again and again he battered him Into the ropes. Bivins covered his midsection with his arms and gloves, but the New Yorker was on top of him flailing away with both, hands. 5 The Baseball sr USF C All AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pet.
