You've probably heard the last as being a great basketball team Gam m iMp)0EiM i (! to' one Moanin' Morry Arnovich, the former Major league ball gamer who so vociferously guides such things the the "enemy' Fort Lewis Warriors baseball and basketball outfits . . . It's reported. Moanin' Morry has been weeping loud and long that he's supposed to have the best teams at th'fe post. Whe ther, that had anything to j do. with' this wasn't reported, '-.but Gail Bishop, the- blonde - thatched ' terror who " holds the' Irel Northern . division scoring cord of .224 points (at WSC last year) and pitched in an even 50 in one game during 'the Den ver AAU tourney, last year, for u the RC boys, isn't playing for the "hello boys any more,' and as of right now. Neither is Earl Torgeson, the 50,000 prewar base ball beauty belonging to Seattle's Rainiers , . . Both were "brass hatted" off the club, says' our informant and Arnovich is ow hot after the Services of Roger WileyJ the 61foot 8-incher from Oregon . . Apparently Just one big happy family ; . . All of which should make one Howard Hobsoh laugh out loud, for his Oregon Ducks play the deflated Reception Renter quint in Portland Wednesday night. Sans Bishop and Torgeson, the "hello" boys will be some what deflated, all right . . . With all that heat up, should be a warm evening the night the RC and Warrior quints get together for the post championship ... It's .'"Slicker" and not "Slickers" meet at Ere Kay's turfed acres pertaining linksmen will surely wear before tations sported by some of the combatants. The wy some fo the boys figure their handicaps it could well be called "Slickers" meet at that ... Farmer Hal Would Ieaye Farm Lt. Bill Beard, who, take it from us still knows how to play golf, says he stopped by Yoncalla, Ore., to buzz with former teammate Hal Turpin, ! the Seattle Rafnier mound magician, and found that if Turpin can findVsomebody to ride herd on his farm next sum mer he'll return to a Rainier ball suit to ride herd on PCL batters. . . When Boss Emil Sick hears of that he'll probably transfer Tom Hoi man from selling Sick's jSelect to harvesting Turp's turnips -. . . Nothing went amiss with the polio benefit sweepstakes tourney the golf clubbers were supposed to have held Saturday they concocted a better plan. Instead of matching mashies for the five or 10 bucks Utwould have meant for the fund instance a seale cigar box-on the clubhouse counter. Much more mazuma will be benefitted ;that way claims "bartenders" Kay and Cliff Parker . . . Speaking of the golfing clan, if they have as much fun Thursday night during the annual all-free party as tournament committee members Bud Waterman, Millard Pekar, et al had while making up plans for same ;he clambake should be a howling suc cess Cuba Libres and all ; . . Suppose; .you saw where National .Semipro Baseball Boss Ray Dumont has been scheming again. Now he wants to have batters head for either first OR third when, they hit the ball. Figures it'll add more zip to the game. Also sees great sport for the fans if two rjunners, one from first base, the other from third tried stealing second at the same time, both sliding in together . . . Go get him boys, and take the strait-jacket with you. ". . . Dumont's the same character whoj last summer hired the gal umpire who came near causing a riot during the national tourney and the year before hatched the idea wherein umpires would ride herd over the diamond on Itlectrically-bperated cranes ... Great and unbelievable things are invented nowadays, but Mister Dumont, apparently a promotional genius with a knack for hitting head lines, doesn't have to jverdoj ...
