By% Pastrano
CHICAGO (R) - Springy Willie
Willie Pastrano of New Orleans,
combining a sharp left jab with
footwork of a tap-dancer, last
night gained a unanimous 10-
round decision over Chuck Spieser
in Chicago Stadium.
The 19-year-old Pastrano re-
mained unbeaten in six bouts this
year with a nimbleness afoot that
had his 26-year-old Detroit foe
somewhat baffled most of the way
Spieser, U.S. Olympic boxing
team captain in 1952'from Michi-
gan State, was effective with a left
hook to Pastrano's body but could
not connect solidly to the head
as the southern lad bobbed and
weaved. He proved as hard to hit
as a fly.
Referee Frank Gilmer called it
98-94 in favor of Pastrano. Judge
Ed Heintz had it 95-91 and Judge
John Bray 97-88.

Smith's blow to center, with one
out, came with the bases loaded.
In that 10th the Reds loaded the
bases on singles by Rally Post and
Gus Bell and an intentional walk
to Bob Thurman.

Role of 'Dumb'
Belittled byBr
NEW YORK (P) - "Dumb ball
players don't win pennants. They
have good years, yes, but they
don't win pennants."
This is the opinion and baseball
creed of Fresco Thompson, 52-
year-old Brooklyn Dodgers' vice
president, who serves as czar of
the second largest minor league
system in 6rganized baseball.
Brain Over Brawn
"The idea that baseball is a game
for strong backs and weak minds
is ridiculous," said Thompson.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (P) - The

up baseball games, has author-

Such action was authorized at
a meeting of directors July 21.
They said that effective Aug.
1, umpires will eject any mana-
ger, coach or player who leaves
his position to protest a ball
or strike call.
