Cooke, jn, of the American football statistical bureau; says in 193$ there were 648 football playing colleges. The number increased to 658 in 1938, But due to the war Cooke stODDin football, at least "for that fewer than 700 schools will rver, the great number of service )eams will more than make up lie slack. As for. some of the schools Which ' have quit football such M New York U it gives rise to Hie unkind question of whether the schools quit football or foot ball quit the schools. A compila tion was made of 18 colleges which fropped football, and it was point sd out that, they had won 38 and lost 98 games last season, tieing eight for a winning percentage of only .296. Prize of the lot, however, was Evangelical Lutheran college of Thiensville, Wis. That particular Institution plays only one game a year, a traditional contest with Northwestern college of Water town, Wis. A recent postcard from the school stated briefly: - "We are dropping football for the duration. Who would have thought two seasons ago while watching "Nanny Fernandes romping around out at George E. Waters 'park for the Yakima Pippins that he would be the "Clout ing Castinian" the leader of the National league in hitting two years later. And the big eastern sports scribes aren't be ing stingy with their bouquets to Nanny ; either he's literally the talk of the big show now adays, grabbing a lot of thunder from the Williams, Gordons, DIMagglos and Reisers. Doerr vs. Gordon Speaking of stealing thunder, Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox has certainly made Joe Gor don one of the forgotten men the last few days. Doerr's not only been outhitting the invincible Gordon, but outfielding him as well. , An odd coincidence exists in the Doerr-Gordon battle for the spotlight both are second base men, and both have been hamp ered by back Injuries In the young season. Doerr's came at .the outset of the campaign, but he's over it now a d how! Gordon was blistering the league with his hitting when his injury forced him from the lineup. The Gordon-Doerr argument is an old one starting two years ago when the scribes gave Gordon 42 votes in choosing the All-Star American league second baseman and didn't give Doerr a one. It was found out later that Doerr has just as many ballplayers in the major leagues rating him over Gordon as Joe has pulling for him.

Eight-Run Inning Does It; Cameron Cuts Loose With Three Smashes j By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor There was a lot of base hitting done last night out at Georga X. Waters park, and our Senators were responsible for no less than 22 of the 30 base knocks in handling the Tacoma Tigers their second straight loss of the current series, 11 to . The win elevated Manager Charlie Petersen's Sock Solons into a tie with the Tigers for second place. Jack Warren, currently patrolling right field and doing a bang-up job of it, led the assault on Pitchers Chet Johnson and Fred Bradley with a perfect five for five, and all well sent singles. Jack picked up two in the eight- run nine-hit Solon sixth. Burton 8wope, tiny right bander, hurled his second win f the season, and although der rieked in the ninth after he had dven up three of the eifht bits ho allowed, plus a walk, did a masterful job of subduing the Tigers. That is, all except big Merry Abbott Abbott combed "Swoople's serves for three solid smashes, and one was a terrific liner that shot over the left center wall, a 2S-foot poke. Tne solons jumped on to one-run lead in the second in ning on hits by Warren, Mana- The business office of the Senator ball dab announced that all games, starting with to night's contest with Tacoma, would begin at 8:00 p. m. Instead of at 7:30. Doableheaders will be played starting at 1:3ft P. m. on Sundays. It was also announced that First Baseman Charlie Shoe maker and Inflelder Eddie George drew their uncondition al releases Thursday night ger "Pete" and Jimmy Robertson, who, incidently, picked up his first three professional ball bits in the game and drove in three runs. Abbott's clout tied it in the fourth, and it was only the sec ond hit off Swope. The Tigers got three in the fifth when "Curly" Leininger bobbled two hoppers, followed by the working end of a double steal, and singles by Chet Johnson and Henson. Things cooled off and it looked as if Swope was going to lose another tough one. Johnson had been hit at least once in every inning, but he was getting by. But then came the wild Solon sixth. Boppln' Bill Johnson led it off with a screamer to center. and Jack Warren did likewise sending the hustling Johnson to ird. Petersen forced Warren at second when Moll tor made a great play on Charlie's smash up the third base line. Callteaux shot another into center, Rob ertson walked. Swoop singled. Leininger singled, Gonzales was safe on an error Cameron slashed another liner to center for one and up came Johnson again. His second hit of the heat sent his Jittery left handed namesake showerward and right bander Fred Bradley came in. Warren greeted him with his second hit of the in ning, and Petersen followed with a hit, too. Then Callteaux brought It to a close with a ground out after nine blows an singles had been shot to all fields. The 22-blow barrage also brought Clint Cameron out of his terrific slump. Clint, of whom it was being thought couldn't hit bis hat, picked up a nice new Stetson from Bishop's Clothing Co. with his third inning triple to center, the first Solon three-ply swat of the season here. Cameron's triple and Abbott's homer were the only extra base swats in the 30-bit game. The Solons got two more In the eighth on singles by Cam eron, Warren, Cailteanx and Robertson, and before Fireman Koa Smith forced Art Lilly to bit into a doable killing In the ninth inning, the two Senator tallies appeared to be very much needed. Swope evidently lost his stuff tn. the last -frame, and' gave up three straight hits and a walk, forcing in a run, before Petersen called Smith.
