Coasting Along in

New, York, March 5 tin Three
SDorts writers and Mel Allen were
chatting at a table In Toots Shor's
last .night They were taming
baseball about the opening oi
spring training this, week.
Allen Is. the "sports voice" for
thousands (perhaps millions) of
service men. overseas. He Is an
army technician, fourth class, who
broadcasts to them daily by short
wave.. Before . Pearl Harbor ne
was one of , the, nation's top sports
casters. During the conversation, one of
the writers asked Allen: "Do you
think, the opening of training will
mean anything to the boys at the
front. - Honestly now ao you
believe that men overseas care
whether baseball continues?"
Melodious Mel tall, dark and
handsome in his army uniform
grinned and answered: "certainly
the men overseas want baseball
continued. They're interested in
sports, right up Into . the . front
lines. And "they're particularly
interested in baseball. Even the
Germans appreciate the fact."
The Germans 7
Yes, the Germans," Allen con
tinued. "I know of at least one
occasion when the Germans took
advantage of our fighting men s
interest In baseball to try to
spread their propaganda."
Mel explained that the Germans
picked up and recorded one of
his short-waved summaries after
game in the Inst world series.
They re-broadcast the summary,
realizing that baseball talk on the
air would quickly command a
large listening audience among
Americans at the front. And the
Germans larded the recoi;d with
plenty of their propaganda, in
English.
How do the boys at I ho front
get their sportscasts?
Allen explained that the armed

Haggte Fifth
In Eastern Race s
New York, March 5 UW Swed
ish distance runner-Gunder Hagg,
who made few friends when he
was breaking records in America
in 1943, found a legion of them to
day because of One of the most
dismal races he ever ran.
It was because the haggard
Hagg ran. at all Saturday night in
the special intercollegiate 4-A mile
that they acclaimed him, certainly
not because he finished, a badly
beaten fifth in a field of five.
Never since he became a runner
of world renown, had he taken a
more thorough licking.
Gunder Trails
Jimmy Rafferty of the New
York Athletic club,- Forest Efaw
of Bainbridge,, Md., naval, Don
Burnham, navy pre-medical stu
dent and Ruddy Simms of the
New York Pioneer club, finished
ahead of him. Rafferty won his
sixth straight race In 4:16.4 and
Hagg's time was 4:31, a mark fre
quently topped in high school com
petition. But the fans remembered that
he had been off the boat only 48
hours after a storm-tossed 23-day
voyage from England and that he
was ruDDer-ieggea ana arawn.
They figured it was. a sporting
gesture that he would , agree to
compete at all and they gave him
an ovation that topped any he re
ceived as a champion in 1943.
Hagg had no excuses, and no re
grets.
Wanted To Help
"I wanted to help and I was
happy that I ran it in better than
4:40," he said. "I didn't realize
how much harm a voyage such as
we had could do to a runner. My
legs went dead on me somewhere
after the three-quarter mile and
I did not know whether to quit or
not. But I decided to go on."
Up to that point he had given
the field a real race for Its money.
He led eight of 11 laps and though
he was on the verge of collapse
didn't fade until victory was al
most in sight. Then he folded up
in a hurry and the rest zoomed
past hint as if he were a slow train
pulling up to a siding.
Major Leaguers
Start Training
New York, March 5 tll'i Major
league spring training wartime
version begins this week in
Maryland and Indiana when the
Washington Senators and the Chicago-
Cubs lead a vanguard of
teams into the abbreviated condi
tioning drills. '
The Senators, with a roster
snrinkled liberally with Cuban
player importations, start their
workouts at College Park, Md.,
Wednesday and the Cubs open up
Thursday at French Lick, Ind.
It will be a far cry from pre-war
years when the players already
would have been getting ruaciy
sun-tans in the balmy climes of
California, Florida or Texas. Not
since 1942 have the trains gone
south for training and there is lit
tle or no chance that they will be
able to resume on that basis until'
the war is over.
Few teams have announced how
many players have been signed
and it is no secret that many own
ers are depending upon the out
come of work-or-else legislation in
Washington for gui dance on
whether to continue or not.

Prineville Wins
District Title
Prineville livcJi up to its pre
tourney reputation by annexing
its first district title in turning
back Bend's Lava Bears 55-31 on
the Crook county floor, Saturday
night.
The issue was never in doubt
after the first few minutes and
the Cowboys rolled up a 26-14 half
time score. The Cowboys' shoot
ing, which was the deciding fac
tor in their game with Redmond,
was superb again Saturday night
as they hit from all angles and
places on the floor. The game was
played at a fast clip with most
of the Bear baskets coming as a
result of their fast breaking at
tack. However, at no time was the
Bend team able to match the
markmanship of the champions.
Seniors In Action
Graduating seniors who were
playing their last game for Bend
played most of the last half after
the outcome of the game seemetl
certain. Graduation- and draft age
will practically wipe out the Bend
squad with only Kasmussen,
Moore and Hawes returning out
of the ten man tourney squad.
Prineville loses but one man from
this year's team and should boast
one of the strongest clubs in the
state next year.
Prineville will leave for Medford
early this week in order to have a
workout or two on Medford's big
floor prior to the playoffs which
start Thursday. Whatever team
wins will represent the combined
districts at the state meet. If
the Cowboys can keep their shoot
ing on the same level they may
give the Black Tornado a scare,
fans predict.
Redmond again walloped Burns
in the consolation, 50 to 18.
