Hustling Chicago
Clubs Make Race
For Ball Honors
New York, May 8 lPi It was
hard to deny the hustling white
and Cubs of Chicago a key posi
tion today in the major league
races even at the risk of offend
inn the fearless forecasters Who
predicted an encore all-St. Louis
world series for 1345.
It would be foolhardy to class
the Chicago Cubs as top -contenders
on the basis of play to date,
but it would be just as big a mis
take to overlook them.
Weaker Clubs Aid
They stand out because of their
superior cany season piay. Ana
without depreciating the efforts
of the eastern leaders, the New
York Giants and Yankees, it must
be- emphasized that they were
"fattening up" on weaker clubs
while the Cubs and White Sox
took a strong early stand by beat
lng the so-called better clubs In
the western sectors QI tne Amen
can and national leagues.
The performance of the White
Sox stands out particularly. Lead
ing the league with nine victories
and three defeats, they have
beaten the champion Browns three
games in five, broker even with
the powerful Detroit Tigers in
two games and have sent the
Cleveland Indians to the cellar
with five straight victories over
them.
The Cubs, hurt n little after a
double defeat at St. Louis Sun
day, nevertheless are tied with
the world champions for third
place with eight victories and six
defeats.
Win Four Games
Meanwhile, in the American
league the Yankees have won
four out of seven against last
year's cellarites, tho Washington
Senators, have beaten the draft
riddled Boston Hed Sox five
games )n six, and have broken
even in two games with the very
ordinary I'nuaaeipnla Athletics.
The Giants have attained a fine
Start with 12 victories in 16 games.
As the teams square off this
week in the first east-west com
petition of the campaign, there
may be a sudden revision of the
standings with the early leaders
getting their first real tests.
There wore no major league
games yesterday.

Six Coast Teams
Ready for Acf ion
(By t)nlll Pram)
Pacific coast league teams,
hopeful of getting into the pen
nant chase, return to the fields
tonight in nn effort to make up
some of the ground they lost last
week to the loop icadlng Portland
Beavers.
While Los Angeles remains Idle
on Tuesday and opens with a double-header
against Oakland on
Wednesday, the six other clubs
swing into action.
Portland invades San Diego;
San Francisco entertains Holly
wood In a "cellar series" and Se
attle visits Sacrumenlo.
A major share of the fireworks
may be shot at San Diego where
euner ciuo can get in a make-or-
ureax mow ny namtlng out a
sound trouncing. The Padres, con
sidered by somo to be the class of
the league, are finding that the
breaks are catching up with them
and they dropped a 4-3 series deci
sion to the Improving Los Ange
les Angels last week.
Manager Marv Owen's Heav
ers are dangerous from tho top of
the batting order right down to
the pitcher and their attack has
outshone the defense in winning
25 out of 36 games played.
A slugging duel appears In the
offing, too, at Sacramento where
the Solons entertain Seattle. Both
nines are stronger at the plate
than on the hill.

New York, May 8 (Ui That
"beautiful friendship" between the
racing Industry and Sen. A. B.
(Happy) Chandler of Kentucky,
baseball's new commissioner,
grew warmer today when New
York's two leading turf news
papers attacked Chandler with a
blistering editorial.
The same editorial was carried
in both "The Morning Telegraph"
and the "Daily Racing Form."
They are members of the Triangle
Publications, Inc., chain of racing
papers. A representative of the
chain said the editorial also was
carried in Its papers in Cincinnati,
Chicago, Los Angeles and Hous
ton, Tex.
Tho editorial heatedly assails
commissioner Chandler for his al
leged remarks that tl) baseball
players and umpires should stay
away from racetracks to avoid
public censure, and (2) that he
woulrUkrya baseball five from
rattfOtColttgambling. . ' . f.
Acearcnng to this front-page
editorial, the breeding of horses
Is a leading Industry in Kentucky,
the state which elected Chandler
to serve It as senator. And the
writer of the scorching piece can
not reconcile Chandler's alleged
references to racing with his job
as senator from the blue grass
state.
We refrain from repeating
much of the "dynamite" contained
ill the piece because we prolmbly
wilt have professional contacts
later with commissioner Chandt
or; and we do not desire a punch
in the nose. We have a very
tender proboscis.
However, we will quote one
part of the editorial because it is
comparatively mild and because
we believe the writer makes a
point. It says:
"The latest explanation of the
baseball commissioner as to why
ballplayers and umpires should
stay away from the racetracks
is because 'they cannot be allowed
to associate with bookmakers, or
I may have trouble.' As a matter
of fact, bookmakers do a bigger
business handling wagers ' on
baseball games than they do on
the horse races. And, as a one
time governor of a state having
legalized pari-mutuel betting,
Chandler knows that the book
maker is more despised by the
racetrack operator than he is by
any other sports promoter. The
senator, who presumably is not
ignorant of these mallei's, should
know that even one bookmaker
within the grounds of a race
track competes with the legalized
mutuel machines, and consequent
ly could take revenue away from
the track and Its partner, the
state. The nationally-known Piik
kerton and other detective agen'
cies who police the racetracks will
attest to the above: it is their
function to keep out such undesir
ables as bookmakers, who in out
considered opinion, frequent' the
major league baseball parks to a
far greater extent than they do
tho racot racks."
The Daily Racing Form is the
official newspaper of the national
association of state racing com
missioners. If the torrid words
of the editorial reflect truly the
attitude of the racing industry, it
is apparent that one of the bltter-
es feuds in sports history is blos
soming. It is blossoming just
when racing awaits the lifting of
the "ban" by war mobilizer Fred
M. Vinson expected this week.
It is blossoming just as racing
expects to get underway on at
least five U. S. tracks next week.

Chandler Warns
Game Gamblers
Lexington, Ky., May 8 Ui
Baseball's new commissioner,
Sen. Albert (Happy) Chandler,
made it plain today that he in
tends to hold down two jobs "un
til the people protest."
"I am under no pressure to quit
the senate and believe I can han
dle both jobs," he said.
Speaking last night at a testi
monial dinner sponsored by the
Cooperative club of Lexington,
he said that he would take money
for one position only.
After the dinner he left for
Cincinnati, O., where he will
make arrangements to transfer
the baseball commissioner's of
fice from Chicago. Y ,
-'Again, he reiterated his warn
ing to "baseball players, fans and
umpires to avoid gambling of any
kind."
"If a game is worth playing It
is worth playing fairly at all
times," ho said. ,
As commissioner he said he
would not ask any war-time fa
vors of the government.
Playfield Plans
For Year Studied
... Plans for the operation of Har
mon playfield in the summer
months of 1945 have been made
by members of the Bend Recrea
tion committee, with the opening
of the field set for June 15, it was
announced today. Members of the
committee are Mrs. Anne Forbes,
Mrs. Olhe Bowman, Rev. G. R. V.
Bolster, Dr. George W. Winslow
and Kev. tl. H. Prentice.
The committee at its recent
meeting announced that applica
tions win be accepted lor a
woman to work on the playfield
as director of the children's play
scnooi. uesiaes this particular
work, she will be expected to
supervise piay and aid in conduct
ing the wading pool. The-appli
cant must be particularly skilled
in working with youngsters of
pre-school and primary ages, and
all applications are to be submit
ted for the committee's study
prior to May lu.
Due to a lack of facilities, the
playfield will be operated on a
heavy morning and twilight sched
ule this summer, with -only the
wading pool for youngsters to be
operated in the hot weather hours
of mid-aftenioon.
The playgroup committee also
approved sponsoring an adult
evening program, as Jong as such
a program does not ' interfere
with the work of the younger
people and children,
Navy to Release
Some Older Men
Washington, May 8 ,IP The
navy announced today it will re
place certain .enlisted men 42
years old and over with younger
men.
The navy emphasized that the
program, which will take place
in the next six months, is not a
reduction or demobilization meas
ure but a redistribution plan to
"increase the overall efficiency of
the fighting forces io meet the
future needs of the fleet." Only
about 25,000 men will be released
by the order, it is estimated.
Those men affected by the order
are enlisted personnel 42 years
old and over who voluntarily
apply and certain enlisted person
nel wno are physically fit only
for limited duty by reason of a
medical survey. (This does not
include men, the navy said, who
meet physical standards for in
duction as special assignment personnel.

Vienna Bomber
Visits in Bend
Back from the European theater
of war, Lt. Paul H. Linse, veteran
of air strikes against both Vienna
and Munich, is confident he is
going to enjoy his 21 day leave in
Bend with parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Linse, and his young wife.
Lt. Linse has been overseas nine
months, and has 236 combat hours
to his credit. "
As bombardier aboard a B-24,
the young Bend lieutenant operat
ed out of Italian bases and saw
much of southern Europe, and
has seen his bombs gliding down
thousands of feet to strike at
vital targets, Including oil refiner
ies. From the great height at
which the big bombers operated,
most of the southern European
cities appeared compact and pre
sented good targets, the bombar
dier mentioned. He was never
shot down, but was in plenty of
air action above the cities that in
recent weeks fell to the Allies in
their conquering sweep over Eur
ope.
Lt. Llnze at the end of his
leave will report at Santa Monica,
Calif., for reassignment, and he
Is confident that he will not be
returning to Europe.
Recent arrivals in Bend from
Lakeview, the parents of the
bombardier now operate a service
station, formerly known as the
Maione station, on the north high
way, just beyond the Sisters junc
tion.
The-852,000 employes of the na
tion's cities and towns draw a
monthly payroll of $122,000,000,

Assn. reports.
