Once Dead,
Thrice Buried
Big Laurel, Va. Wi There's
a tall tombstone in the Norton
cemetery which bears the name
of Franklin P. Salyer. Nothing
strange about that except that
Frank Sa Iyer's body has been
buried three times.
Salyer was slain in Knott
county, Ky., and the notorious
gunman, Talt Hall, who was
later hanged at Wise, was ac
cused of the killing. Salyer's
body was buried in Kentucky
near his home.
But Sam Salyer. the man's
father, didn't like the fact that
his son was buried among his
enemies, so he drove a wagon
across the mountains, a distance
of 75 miles, removed the body
and reinterred it on a rolling
hill.
Several years later, the rail
road entered Norton, and in or
der to secure desired right-of-way,
the graveyard was con
demned. Now Frank Salyer'a
body occupies a spot in the new
gravevard about 500 yards on
up the bill.

Beavers Back
At Home Base
(Br the Aasoelited Press)
Both in the first division for
the first time this year, the Port
land Beavers and the Seattle
Rainiers came home today for
Pacific coast baseball league
series which will largely deter
mine whether the northern
teams shall remain in the upper
brackets or around the foot of
the league.
Seattle moved into the, select
first division yesterday by vir
tue of a 4 to 0 defeat of the fal
tering San Diego Padres at the
hands of the second place San
Francisco Seals. All the rest of
the league was idle and the de
feat dropped the Padres into
fifth place, half a game behind
Seattle. Portland remained
firmly in third, four games
ahead of Seattle and nine be
hind the second-place Seals.
Today's series will pit sixth-
place Hollywood against the Rai
niers in Seattle and the seventh
place Oakland Acorns against
the Beavers in Portland. Sac
ramento will open their series
in Los Angeles with a double
header and the Seals and the
Padres will continue in San
Francisco.
Both northwest games will be
twilight affairs.
Bob Joyce, San Francisco
right-hander, limited the Padres
to eight hits and allowed only
one man to get as far as third
base yesterday as the Seals bat
ted in 10 hits and four runs to
beat Chet Johnson. The Seals
bunched their hits to score two
in the second, one in the third
and one in the seventh innings.
Short score:

last night.
Montgomery put Wills on the
ropes in the seventh round and
then breezed through the final

Tourney Grows
By Charles Dunkley
Chicago, July 21 (Pi Golf on
a tremendous scale three tour
naments rolled Into one was
presented with theatrical setting
in the Tarn O'Shanter extrava
ganza today.
The tournament became the
nation's biggest golf show of
the year when the professionals
and women joined the amateur
ensemble which has held the
stage since Monday,
There were 200 swingers in
action 105 professionals, 64
amateurs and 31 women.
While the surviving 64 quali
fiers in the all-American ama
teur were sweeping through
their first day of match play,
the pros battled for 71 places in
the $10,000 all-American open
and the women played for 18
positions in their tournament
both of which start tomorrow
at 72 holes of medal play.
Blond Byron Nelson of Tole
do, twice winner of the Tarn op
en, was rated as a top-heavy
favorite to repeat while Miss
Patty Berg, famed freckle-faced
red head of Minneapolis, and
Miss Betty Hicks of Long Beach,
Calif., were favored to dominate
the women's tournament.
Due to the list of pros ex
empted from playing a qualify
ing round today, none of the big
guns in the pro ranks unsacked
their shots other than in prac
tice rounds. This situation gave
the amateurs and the women the
spotlight in today's play.
Little Directs

New York, July 21 VP) It
may be the middle of summer
and the height of the baseball
season, but on the campus of
Columbia university football
talk has started.
Talk is used advisedly.
Lou Little, the Lions' famous
football mentor, returned yes
terday from Cape Cod, where
he had been recuperating from
a throat operation, and in shirt
sleeves directed the workout
of a squad of 50 gridiron can
didates. After weeks of writ

ailing vocal chords, Little has
regained the use of his voice and

Armstrong and
Training for Saturday Bout
By Ben Cook
Los Angeles, July 21 U.R Henry Armstrong and Willie Jie
today settled down for the last two days of in-the-ring training
for their scheduled 10-round rematch Saturday afternoon in the
Majors Head
Down Stretch
By Judson Bailey
fAasoclated Press Sports columnist)
The major leagues are heading
into the home stretch today with
plenty of opportunity as well as
determination to shuffle the
standings before the end of the
season.
There has been comparatively
little action on the field since
the two big leagues took time
out ten days ago for the all-star
show, but this breathing spell
has been used by many of the
clubs to gird themselves for the
grind ahead.
More player swaps have been
made in the last week than in
any similar period since the
1942 campaign closed. The
Brooklyn Dodgers have under
gone a house-cleaning that has
sent Pitcher Bobo Newsom to
the St. Louis Browns, Outfielder
Joe Medwick to the New York
Giants and Catcher Dee Moore
to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Many other clubs, even the
world champion St. Louis Car
dinals, have dipped into the
farm systems for additional
strength and some more moves
of this character probably will
be completed before the week is
over.
How all the changes will add
up in the standings remains to
be seen, but both the Browns
and Giants appear to be streng
thening and hope to rise.
Altogether, 11 games are on
tap today and tonight with the
eastern clubs of the National
league heading into the west and
the western clubs of the Ameri
can league invading the east.
The Phillies and Pirates beat
their rivals to the draw with a
game at Pittsburgh last night
which the Buccaneers captured
1-0 for Truett (Rip) Sewell's
14th victory against two defeats.
His five-hit hurling was matched
by Richard (Kewpie) Barrett of
the Phillies, but the Pirates
bunched three of their singles
for the only run of the game in
the second inning.

Tony Ross, who claims the

his weight division, lost two out
of three falls to Bulldog Jack
son in the main event of Tues

take the deciding fall.
Mel Peters and Tex Hager

Chicago, July 21 W) Missing
from the list of 64 qualifiers for
the all-American amateur cham
pionship in Tarn O'Shanter's
mammoth golf show today was
Srgt. Joe Louis of the United
States army.
Louis, the heavyweight box
ing champion, took 86 swings at
the little white ball yesterday
for a 36-hole total of 173 and
failed to get into the select list.
However, he will continue to
play exhibition golf daily until
the tournament winds up next
