By Koliert Welde (United Press Staff Correspondent) Los Angeles, March 30 Ui If the government' had outlawed baseball this season, thousands of servicemen would have really begun to wonder what they were fighting for. Sez who? Why, the biggest, self styled bum o' dem all, Beans Rear dori, the fabulous National league baseball umpire. ; The master of Brooklynese re cently returned from a 27,000-mlle jaunt through southwest Pacific war theaters, said he was amazed at the interest the soldiers had in sports. As far as I'm concerned. I dont care whether baseball opens mis season or not. But 70 per cent of the men overseas would really wonder what the country had come to," Beans related. He had plenty of tales to tell about plucky Yanks in hospitals. "At, one nospltal, which had our wounded,; from) tho Leyte cam paign; a couple of boys beckoned me over to . their bedside. Each had lost an eye. but that' didn't stop one, from cracking: ; "'Don't you think ray pal and I would make a great umpiring team? We've heard umps are blind in one eye, and with two good ones between us, we ought to be sensational.' " He met another soldier who was ,ahout to have a leg amputated. "But that shouldn't ston mo fmm playing baseball, should it?" the Kid asked. "If Monty Stratton pitched for the Chicago White Sox wan just one leg, I guess I could. too. "Me? I've been in this racket for 25 years and I'm on my way our. ut tnese kids- are on their way in, and you just can't beat em, Kearaon said. Beans just can't understand why anyone would want to work for a living when thev could be doing something like umpiring. "It's the greatest racket on earth," to bellowed. "You ought to be a bum like I am. Why, 1 work five and one half months outa da year, and I'm my own boss." "When dat big thumb, o' mine goes up in tto air, even President Roosevelt couldn't change the de cision. . "If you think us umps are jealous of those $60,000 a' year baseball prima donnas, you're crazy. They're only good for a coupla years and they're through. But not us bums -- we go on forever." Redwings Victors In Three Games Detroit, March 31 IU1 With three games in the bag, the De troit Red Wings departed for Boston today where they hope to end first-round competition in the National hockey league play-offs with the Bruins. , Manager Jack Adams said the same lineup that pulled Thurs- SPEEDv says-: "Sure as you shed your 'red flan nels' and overcoat, your car needs a spring going-over." Compl ete Mechanical Service on All Makes of Cars From cleaning end adjusting a carburetor or patching a tire to completely re buiiding a motor, we're equipped to give your car the kind of service it takes to keep it runhing. New Shop - New Equipment' 28 Years Experience day's game out of the fire in1 an overtime period would play in the sixth contest Sunday night.

After losing the first two games by 4-3 and 4-2 scores, the Wings took three straight games by menucai scores 01 i-i. Tony Penna Leads In Durham Play Durham, N. C. March 31 Uli Little Tony Penna of Dayton, O., was the early pace setter todav with a two under par 68 in the first round of the $5,000 Durham open golf tournament;- Penna, strictly a "dark horse" was out in front of Leonard Dod son, whose 69 yesterday made him the only other competitor to break paf on the tricky rolling Hope Valley country club course. In third place, tied with 70's, were Craig Wood' of Maniaro neck, N. Y., the defending cham pion, Sammy Byrd of Detroit, Bobby Crulckshank of Richmond, Va., and Gene Klines of Holly wood, Fla. It was a rare occasion Inasmuch as none of the favorites on the winter circuit, Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., Sammy Snead of Hot Springs, Va., or Harold (Jug) Mc Spaden of Sanford,' Me., were among the lower scorers. All three had 71's. Also at, 71 were Mike Tumesa of White Plains, N. Y., Ed Furgol of Detroit and Joe Zarhardt of NOrristown, Pa. The second 18 holes will be played today with a 36-hole finale on Sunday. Gundar Expected To Set New Mark Buffalo, N. Y., March 31, (IB Gunder Hagg, the Swedish record- smasher, runs the last race of his second visit to the United States here tonight with the stage set for the best performance of his tour. . . . . Hagg will appear In a special In vitation mile event added to the National 'AAU women's champl onships program at the 74th ar mory track. The track is fast, the competition will be sharp and Gunder was reported in his best condition since he stepped off a slow freighter from Sweden at New York March 3. The Swede's main competition will come from Jimmy Rafferty, the little New York racer, who has beaten Hagg three times this month. Hagg won his only race of the tour a slow victory at Cleve land a week ago with Rafferty missing from the entries. In that race, Hagg turned to wave his competitors on to greater speed. May Break Mark Rafferty predicted he will break 4:11 on the flat, eight-lap armory track. He said that "if Hagg plans to defeat me he'd better be pre pared to beat that time." The track record is 4:12, set by Paavo Nurmi, the flying Finn, 20 years ago. ' The armory Oval is one of the fastest eight-lap indoor tracks in the nation. Eight American indoor records have been set there, five of which, dating back to 1913, still stand. Hagg, back from a flying trip to California where he visited his finance, spent some time work ing out at a west coast country club. In his earlier appearances of the current tour, his form suf fered from his 23-day convoy trip across the Atlantic.

VonHuffel Eyes of all local SDortsmen to- day are turned to Lake county, j some enviously, some in anticipa ; tion of the opening of the fishing season there tomorrow, j Tales of mighty rainbow in Lake creek and Buck creek grow ' with each telling, and there is a j decided difference in the kind of weather hoped for by women who want their husbands to go to East j er services and by men who'd I rather float a fly than eat. : Definitely nothing short of a blizzard will keep several erouns of Hend fishermen from opening the season there tomorrow. Unless Jack Gordon's cheerful "Oh, we might be able to stir up a couple of games" proves to be a warranted optimism, Bend will see for the first time In more than two decades a summer with out baseball. Last year, slimmest from the baseball angle in more years than! i' can rcmemoer, saw several lively games here, scheduled with service- teams from Camp Abbot,) Kotimond air Base and Klamath Falls. . But this year . . . we're afraid Jack has too much optimism. Next week will see Coach Claude Cook's trackmen dusting the motnoalls out of track unl forms and limbering ud for the spring training season. And the zing of ball on tennis racket is already heard, with local Dlavers enlovine imDroved eondi tions at the high school courts, where repairs were recently completed. w m A committee of local sportsmen on an inspection tour yesterday found a fish screen on one irriga tion canal that "would leak fish like a .sieve," according to its re port. Irrigation officials and the state police have been notified of the condition. All other screens in this area were reported to be in good condition. - -KBND Voice of .
