UP) Hank Wyse, big right-hander of the Chicago Cubs, didn't allow a New York Giant to reach second base Monday as he shackled the visitors with seven singles and blanked them, 1-0. It was his thirteenth victory of the year. The deciding tally was scored in the eighth inning when Andy Pafko singled sharply to right center after two were out and Phil Cavarretta rode home on the blow.

Because the strong Iowan, transplanted from his Iowa farm to the business of being a major league baseball star, really belongs with the mound greats of the past. In almost everything Feller does, you have to go back into the past to find anything to equal him.

He's headed for a strikeout record which has stood since 1904. And one more shutout vic sive of newsprint, for the week ended Aug. 17 was at 104.5 per cent of capacity, compared with 103.4 the previous week and 67.8 a year ago, the American Paper Pulp association said.

HALT YUGOSLAV RELIEF: HOOVER PASADENA, () Former President Herbert Hoover declared Monday that "the United States should stop relief supplies flowing to Yugoslavia until free elections, as agreed upon at Yalta, can be held. Hoover said that as a further condition, the supplies should be freely distributed and "not with the control of the Communists, as is the situation "Shooting down United States planes was a poor token of gratitude by Yugoslavia In return for 200 million dollars worth of food, clothing and farm implements which we gave that country," said Hoover, who arrived here to visit his son, Herbert Hoover, an engineer. The former chief executive, who was President Truman's special representative on famine relief, said this nation donated 80 per cent of UNRRA supplies to Yugoslavia. He asserted the administration and distribution is in the hands of Communists and that the UNRRA director there is a Communist.

Hoover said the Yugoslavian press is controlled and the people have no knowledge of the extent to which they have been aided by the United States. 8:00 a. m. Morning Chapel 8:30 a. m.

W) Pentin captured the $4,000 Ardmore purse at Garden State Park Monday and qualified for Satur day's $10,000 Valley Forge handicap. 1 Mark 4 that year, and Sept. 21 when 11 innings against Fanwell of Cleveland with neither team scoring. So far Feller has hung up 10 shutout victories this season, and he has 10 more starting assignments left. Coombs blanked every team in the league at least once, while Feller has failed to blank or even beat Detroit this year, and has not turned back Boston without a run.

Except for a flurry of Cleveland errors in Feller's last appearance against the White Sox, he would have 11 shutouts at present, but the errors not only cost him a shutout but a victory as well. Has An Edge. Feller has one slight edge in his shutout pitching. Bob has a no-hitter, a one-hitter, and a pair of three-hitters, all being turned into whitewashings. Coombs did not get either a no-hitter or a one-hitter, but man ufactured three two-hitters and three three-hitters.

One of his one-hitters was a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Feller, as we said, really belongs to the past. Until he came along the so-called modern pitchers were content to hurl around 250 innings or so and call it a season. Bob has made them look like first-class loafers. He's a Workhorse.

The Cleveland star worked 297 innings in 1939, then fired 320 rounds in 1940 and 343 in 1941. This year he'll go well over the 300 mark. That's the way the oldtimers used to pitch. Then there's that matter of strikeouts. Back in the past it took over 200 'fannings' a year to lead the loop, but after 1917 a 200-strikeout year became a rarity until Feller came along to get 240 in 1938, 246 in 1939, 261 in 1940, and 260 in 1941.

The last time an American league pitcher fanned 300 or more batters in one season was back in 1913 33 years ago when Walter Johnson whiffed 313. Feller is a cinch to whiff over 300 this season. Some of these days they will start recognizing Feller as one of baseball's greats. Not alone for his work over a single season, but for his greatness over a span of years. -v- lighter bat too, so I knew it couldn't hurt me any," Chapman added.

Sam has been struggling all season to keep up with the clouting of Williams and Detroit's Hank Greenberg. At the start of the season, Mack rooters figured Sam to be the American league's leading home run swatter. Starts Hitting. It's only been in the last couple of weeks that Chapman has really been belting them to the liking of those supporters. Recently, he clouted three four-baggers in a single game.

"There's nothing more brutal than to go through a batting slump," Sam said ruefully. "I changed my position each time I went up. I changed my stance, used different bats and did everything I could think of, and I was still popping up." Apparently he found the cure in the lighter bat. tory will tie him with Jack Coombs for the most whitewashing triumphs in a single season of American league work. Feller takes great pride in his work.

Just tip him off that there is an all-time record available and the husky former Van Meter High school pitcher immediately trains his sights on it. There are many who think that Feller won't fan 63 more hatters this season, but they don't know Bob Feller. He has set his mind two runs and a ninth-inning PHILS' MAUNEY DIPS REDS, 5-0 CINCINNATI, OHIO LV Philadelphia's Dick Mauney gave up only four hits Monday night as the Phils blanked the Cincinnati Reds, 5-0, before 7,682 fans. The big right-hander fanned three, walked one. The Phils got 11 hits off Johnny Hetki and Bob Malloy.

They shelled Hetki, the loser, off the mound with a six-hit, three-run outburst in the fifth. Del Ennis' triple was the big blow. The Reds threatened in the ninth as Claude Corbitt doubled and Lonnie Frey singled, but Al Libke flied out to end the inning. Phlla. AB H.
