several days in the clinic in
order to have a thorough check
rriade of his physical condition.
;The one-time great .first basei

ending his consecutive game
streak at 2,130 games. ' '
Benched Hlnuelf, .,..., , ,
He sat oh the bench , for sever
al weeks but could . not . regain
his strength. Finally he decided
to put Himself in fhe .hands' of
experts- to, determipe- just wliy
he had' lost. his .baseball form so
suddenly. His trip to the clinic
followed.- - - - -
Barrow said Gehrig -apparently
had been suffering from the ail
ment for1 two years and 6nly his
reTriaTkaBle'physique ""had" en
abled him 'to play. ' .
;The ; veteran - will- be 'continued
on the Yankee . payroll for the

was broken up as he made the
announcement. Gehrig '.long has
been on of . his favorite players.
Barrow, siid , the first baseman
would - not play again; this year
but irtdiicted there - was an out
side possibility he c6uld return to

By "BILL WHITE '
(Associated Press Sports .Writer)
, Maybe it - was just a coinci
dence, but the day Bucky Walters
of the Cincinnati Reds became
the first National league pitcher
this season to win 10 games the
New York Yankees went on one
of . their most lucrative batting
sprees. .
ThAt deserves more than pass
ing mention since 1 along about
October 4, if you're watching the
first - game . of the world series
you probably will see Walters and
the. Yankees hook up. in a clash
that may be as stirring an open
er as Avr nroHnrM.' .
Bucky, the string bean right
hander, won No. 10 with a smart
4-2 victory over the Brooklyn
Dodgers. .
- That elbowing moved the Reds
up 66 games in front of the St.
Louis Cardinals whose clash with
the Phillies Tuesday was' rained
Out.
The Dodgers, by their loss and
the Chicago Cubs' 3-1 win over
the Boston Bees, plummeted
down into th second division;
Claude Passeau was the blgnolse
in the Cub win, hurling a five
hitter. . : '.
In the .American league that
Yankee uprising that must have
sounded unpleasant to Walters,
though he was miles away, kept
the Chicago -While Sox strictly in
the Yankees' "cousin" class. The
13-3 win wa,s the seventh over
the sox. ,"''.
Tuesday's tussle started . out
very creditably,' the .Yanks out in
front Only by 6-3 going Int6 the
seventh.1 ' But- coming out was
different. The champs, blew Vic
Franer out of the box arid were
n't much kinder to Ed Smith, hi
successor. They gathered eight
consecutive hiti, after two were
out, and coupled that blast with
some wierd sox. fielding to score
seven runs.
The Boston Red Sox, with Joe
Vosmlk having a perfect day at
the plate, blew down the Browns,
8-1 to ruin Harry Kimberlln's
major, league pitching debut. The
Senators lost, 4-3 in 12 innings
to the Cleveland Indians.
In the league's Only night game.
Tommy Bridges shut out the
Athletics and the Tiger coast
ed; a 5-0 victory. Earl Aver
ill'e homer with a mate aboard
was the strongest blow struck in
the victors' favor.
Pro Fails to Score
Ace In 1,817 Tries
On $25 Wager
" BEVERLY SHORES COUNTRY
tLUB, MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.,
June 21 (U.W A slender young
professional, shot with weariness
and painful blisters, pounded his
1,817th golf ball at a flickering
candle light marking .the tenth
hole early today and decided that
luck, not science, breeds a hole-
in-one.
After 16 hours of driving, on
a $25 bet with Duffer Bill Voltz,
who scored an ace on the same
136-yard hole a week ago, Pro
fessional Harry Gonder, 25, fi
nally was forced to quit.
He had hit the pin dozens of
times, once as late as his 1,758th
shot, but at 2 a. m. (CST) he
admitted his blistered left hand
was too painful to continue.

gives the program a potent open
ing tempo a battle between two
so-called savages. The Utah punch
er has established himself as one
of the toughest gents in these parts
with his unethical tactics. Wolff,
the rubber-necked phantom, was
slight disappointment last week,
but will have a chance to be re
stored in the good graces of the
wrestling public by defeating
Savich.
Although he has the card com
pleted, Owen was just a bit wor
ried regarding the $500 guarantee
he was forced to post to get Jack
son to return to Eugene for a title
match. Jackson will likely find un
usual opposition when he meets
Roberts, Oklahoma stylist.

honors with the one-hour match
between Wild Red Berry and Mar

light-heavyweight champion, re
fused to appear in a preliminary
spot and forced Owen into agree

which match will take the final

(By The Associated Press)
Although mired deep in the Pa
cific coast league baseball base
ment, Portland's bedraggled Beav
ers were heroes in their home
town today after knocking over
the mighty league-leading Los
Angeles Angels, 5 to 4,. Tuesday
night.
The Beavers started the scoring
with four runs in the fourth, and
after Los Angeles had tied the
count at 4-all in the first half of
the ninth, pushed over the win
ning tally as Frankie Hawkins
doubled to score Harry Rosenberg,
who had singled.
Portland's win trimmed the Los
Angeles lead to a half game, as
Seattle edged up by beating the
San Francisco Seals at Seattle, 3
to 0.
Dick "Kewpie" Barrett, diminu
tive Seattle right-hander, turned
in a brilliant pitching performance,
allowing only two hits in blank
ing the Seals, as his mates poled
seven off Bill Shores. It was
Barrett's 13th win of the season
against six losses.
A home run in the lutn inning
by Chalmers Cissell gave Holly
wood a 4-to-3 decision over Sac
ramento, when George "Pooch
Quccinelli, Hollywood outfielder,
slammed a homer over the left
field wall.
Oakland strengthened its grip
on fourth place by beating San
Diego's Padres, 6 to 3. It was Oak
land's third straight victory over
Howard Craghead, Padre pitcher.

'Billies, Babes To
Open New Series
Hills Creek's scrappy Hillbil
lies will launch their second half
State league baseball campaign
at Swimmers' Delight Sunday af
ternoon, when they play host to
the strengthened Portland Babes.
The Hillbillies, still locked in
a tie with Tole.do for the first
half lead, are out to cop both
halves and avoid a playoff. This
will be their last regularly sched
uled game prior to their competi
Hon in the state semi-pro tourna
ment at Silverton, though last
Sunday's postponed game with
Bend has tentatively been set for
either July 9 or 16 at Swimmer's
Delight.
The Bitbcs, with Dick Bishop
catching and young Gene F'enter
ptiching standout ball, have tak
en a new lease on life in recent
weeks and are expected to give
the Hillbillies a stiff fight. Hills
turned back the Portlanders in a
first half encounter and will de
pend upon the sturdy left arm of
Bun Kelfay to duplicate the trick
Sunday.
Softball to
Open Friday
City league Softball teams will
go into chips-down action for the
first time Friday night, when two
games are scheduled at the Lane
county fairgrounds.
The opening date of the night
league, originally Wednesday, has
been put off two days because of
improvements being made upon
the field. The clubs will this sum
mer play under a battery of 22
lights, compared to 12 last year,
and other improvements have also
been made.
Manager Burton- Boroughs has
announced that play will be on a
four-nights-a-week basis, as last
year, with American league dou
bleheaders on Tuesdays and Fri
days and National . league triple
headers on Mondays and. Wednes
days. A total of 72 games are slat
ed, in addition to the playoffs. :
Friday's opening ceremonies will
see all players of all 13 teams in
uniform at the field. Rubenstein's,
defending city champions, will
meet a drawn American league
opponent in one tilt on the opening
slate, and the two National league
teams selling the most season tick
ets will clash in the other contest.
Teams in the American league
are Fenn's Tire shop, Rubenstein's,
Sterling Furniture, Hewitt's Ser
vice station, S. P. Shops and Wend-
In the National circuit are Army
and Navy, Williams' Bakery, Chase
Gardens, Western States grocery,
Woolach Bros., Knights of Colum
bus and Coburg.
Pete Igoe To Hurl
Against Mud Hens
pro-
Pete Igoe, a Eugene high
duct who now pitches for the Uni
versity of Oregon varsity, will toe
the mound for the Eugene Athlet
ics when they face Toledo at the
Lane county fairgrounds Sunday,
and the Athletics are determined
to make Pete's 1939 State league
debut as a starter successful.
It will be Igoe's second State
league start. Last season he was
beat here by the Portland Babes.
Ten days ago he did a relief stint
against Hills Creek and showed
such great stuff that five of the
Hillbilly sluggers struck out in two
innings.
Manager Ed Brauner and the
Athletics reason that they have
every chance to upset Toledo, even
though the Mud Hens are tied for
the league top with Hills Creek.
Eugene lost to Toledo only 2 to 0
in the season opener in the coast
city.
Coast Solons
Set Grid Start
Lee Orre Made Eligible
But Hamilton Studied
MOUNT HOOD, Ore., June 21
(p) The Pacific Coast Confer
ence voted at its annual meeting
at Timberline Lodge yesterday to
start football practice on Thurs
day, Sept. 7, giving teams a little
more than two weeks to drill for
early games.
The get-away date last year was
Thursday, September 8.
Frosh teams were granted the
right to start practice the first day
of registration but must finish
their schedules the second Satur
day before Thanksgiving. South
ern division frosh teams were
authorized to schedule as many as
six games, but northern division
yearlings can play only three.
The 10 conference ' delegates
granted Lee Orr, Washington State
track captain, another year of com
petition although he participated
in a preliminary, non-conference
meet in this, his senior year. He
was injured in the meet. The
solons delayed action on a similar
case affecting Hampton Pctol, Stan
ford football player.
There was no mention of Ed
ward N. Atherton's survey on
conference athletic conditions,
particularly proselyting, athletic
scholarships, and like topics yes
terday, although the delegates ad
mitted spending most of Monday
night thumbing through the 700
page report. Atherton, a former
federal investigator, was hired by
the conference to ferret out facts
on athletic set-ups and practices
at the 10 schools.
C. V. Ruzek, Oregon State col
lege, conference president, said
the delegates would have some
thing to say about the Atherton
data later in the week.

Local Fisherman Identifies
'Swallow-Tail Channel Cat'
You may stump Lane county
fishermen on an unusual fish
question but not for long.
Requests from the chamber of
commerce office last week as to
the identity of "swallow-tailed
channel cats" were answered just
as soon as fishermen who had
ever been in the mid-western and
central part of the United States
remembered that this was just an
other name for the "barbed trout"
of Kansas.
Dick Allen, an ex-resident of
Kansas, showed the April, 1933,
issue of Outdoor Life, which gave
complete information on the fish
in question. They are a distant
relative of the western mud-cats,
but so "stream-lined" as to be un
recognizable. The channel cats, which are
considered a game fish in Kansas,
inhabit cold pools or stream wat
ers and are upon occasion "very
gamey and edible," according to
the magazine.

SIGLOH-SAWYER CO., 1056 Pearl St.
The channel caf has a barbed
tail fin, which accounts for the
"swallow-tail" part of his name.
The article said that they could
be taken with a fly at times, and
maintained that they are "as beau
tiful as any trout."
The orginal request for channel
cats came from a Nevada county
clerk, who wished to get a supply
for stream-stocking. The fish are
not found west of the great plains,
the sluggish mud-cat being the
outstanding member of the catfish
family in this territory.
