NEW YORK, July 20-JP-No-body
in authority yet has said
that the army-navy football game
might not be played this year, so
now would seem to be a good
time to put In a plug for it, as it's
always a good
idea to start
'moving " while
the other guy
is still fumb
ling for his
shootin iron.
This is strict
ly a "who said
I snitched
the watch is a
wiutMy Mortis ; liar? attitude as
nobody; has accused anybody of
anything or suggested that the
. game should not be played, but
there will be objections raised
: by the anti. There were last year,
and the same gents . are still
; around. "."''-.i "
Frankly, we can't see any harm
in playing the game. The - two
. schools are going to play football.
. so they might as well play each
other as anyone else. --
The . major . objection last year
: was based on . the transportation
: problem, which was neatly skirted
by playing the game in compara
tive secrecy at Annapolis, ,Md. i
If the crowd still is the main
objection, the situation could be
handled by playing the game
without spectators,- as after an
a crowd of f 10,000 or ; 100.000 Is
just a man alone in a telephone
booth insofar, as general interest
"is concerned. That Is, the people
who actually could see the game
under any conditions would be a
negligible quantity compared with
the millions who follow it by press
and radio. . .: "'
As far as transporting the teams
to the arena is concerned, that is
a minor problem. They even could
get a squad in a horse car if ' ne
cessary, if the race people would
let them move out the .nags for
a little while. We've seen the time
- when an American horse car
: would seem quite a luxury. Those
French corn cribs on wheels were
; no bargain. ' . ; '
However, we don't think the
transportation of the teams would
enter in any argument, as the
v baseball teams still go around. In
fact, in the case of the Dodgers,
they go 'round and 'round.
So the sole objection . would
see into be the crowd as it per
tains to the., transportation prob
lem. There would seem to be three
alternatives in this situation.
First, they could stage the game
in a speakeasy manner, I without
spectators, .with the nation at large
and our far-flung armed 1 forces
being given vivid descriptions. Af
ter all. that's sll therr Mt-inr.
way, except for the 10,000 or 100,-
000 who might ordinarily see the
, They might hold it with the at
tendance rigidly restricted, as. last
year. And lastly, they might throw
the gates wide open and strive for
as large an attendance as possible,
an dto heck with everything. . - --.r.
1 Senator Mead (D-NY) is one
who advocates a bumper attend
ance, the crowd, under his theory,
coming "from the large city in
which the game might be held. He
suggests an attendance . of from
73,000 to 100,000 to raise a respec
table sum of money, and in advo-
eating a crowd of that size he au
, tomaUcally limits the sites in
which the game might be held, as
, you can just about count the sta
diums of that size in the country
without' taking off your shoes.
.You have the stadium in Phila
; tfelphia, and Soldier Field in Chi
cago, and Ohio State stadium, and
the Pasadena Rose Bowl, and New
Orleans Sugar Bowl fields, and
Yonkee Stadium, , just to name a
few that come to mind There arc
' some others, but not many. In fact,
Senator Mead's own Buffalo: dis
trict has a stadium which would
like to be filled. We don't know
how many that one holds. The
senator couldn't be putting in a
'Plug for his district, could 'bet
Anyway, this is all just conjec
ture just to beat the gun. on ob
jections which are sure to come.
We have a hunch the game will be
played. --

By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO. July 20 - UPl Bill
Chambers," a sleepy sailor from
Great Lakes, beat the twilight to
the last green and posted an even
par 72 to become the medalist
Tuesday in the Tarn O'Shanter
au-American amateur golf tour
nament.' - . Chambers, a third class store
keeper at the world's largest na
val training; station, fingered a
day's growth of beard and smiled
broadly as friends whacked his
back and congratulated him. ;
His par 72, ' together with' Ms
73 yesterday - gave him a 36-hole
total of 145 the lowest card in
250 tacked up by his predecessors
.who started out at the crack of
dawn.
Chambers, who raced with
nightfall Monday around the.Tam
course, never heard the rosters
crow, for after returning to Great
Lakes, he spent the night study
ing how to become a second class
storekeeper. He took the test be
fore hurrying out to the first tee
at noon today.
I "That's what was on my mind,"
he ; smiled. 'Gosh, how I hope I
stepped from a third class store
man to a second class 'storeman.
: His four birdies thus be
came somewhat incidental to his
ambition of climbing up the na

golf card read 36-36.

Wehrle posted a 78 on his

permanently have sealed the mat

Averages Sink,
Amerk Batsmen
CHICAGO, July 20-P)- Those
leading American league batting
averages have quit looking quite
like a war worker's income tax
and have begun to resemble the
hitting;, marks of Joe Shortstop
from : the corner sandlot team
much to the distress of such young
men as Guy Curtright, Vern Ste
phens and Dick Wakefield.
Where once the league's statis
tician was privileged to compile
such remarkable figures as "Ste
phens, : .448,' "Higgins, J63,? and
"Hockett, 42,! he sat down today
and scrawled off "Curtright, Chi
cago, . JiZ3; Stephens, St Louis,
J27; and Wakefield, Detroit, .323,"
without once referring to his table
on .astronomical mathematics.
' 1 That-left other places in the
top ten to Oris Hockett of Cleve
land at J 15, Luke Appling of Chi
cago at .309; Bob Johnson of Wash
ington at .298; Pinky Higgins of
Detroit at .294; Roy Cullenbine
of Cleveland at J289; Chet Laabs
of St Louis' at .283, nd Johnson
of New York at .293.
Wakefield - remained , ahead ' in
total hits with 109, Stephens in
home runs with 13, and Etten in
runs batted in with 58. Ken Kelt
ner of Cleveland - was credited
with the most doubles at 25 and
Johnn Lindell of New York and
Rudy -York; of Detroit were tied
in triples at seven. The 24 stolen
bases . by George Case of Wash
ington were tops in pilfering. -
I Pitching honors continued to
rest with OrvaL Grove of the Chi
