Take the Phils. Since June 8
they have won 11 out of IS

Dodgers.
Now how about the Athletics?
Right now the A's are the hottest
club in the American league with
1Z wins out of their last 16. They
are now in third place, 4 M games
out of the lead.
Both the Phils and A's won
breezing last night to enhance
their contending positions. Russ
Meyer pitched the Phils to a
seven-hit, 7 to 1 victory over the
Pirates in which he mised a shut
out because of Ralph Kiner's
15th homer.
Dick Fowler pitched the Ath
letics to a 4 to 1 triumph over the
hot Cleveland club, besting Mike
Garcia in a hurling battle.
The Yankees topped the
Browns, 4 to 1, at New York on
the margin of Jackie Phillips'
tnree-run homer.
Walt Masterson pitched fine

Good Selection
If past performance means
Willamette university's athletic committee turned a smart trick
in securing Chester R. Stackhous for the head football position
on the Bearcat campus. We understand one reason why Stack-
house put in his bid for the job
would bring hun to the Pacific
since graduating from Central
that could be asked of any coach. Given the enthusiastic support
of the students and the board of trustees, the new head man
should prove successful in his assignment at Willamette,
Fine Track Man
" While emphasis center! on football, It leemi iogicai to
bring in a track man of Stackhonse'i proven ability at the
time when Willamette Is perfecting new facilities for the
sprinters and long distanee men. It would have been noth
ing much short ef a crime to have introduced him to the
facilitiea that his predecessors have had to contend with. The
track that was developed daring the early spring months will
be given further treatment thia summer and it should be in
excellent condition by fall. Perhapa Coach Stackhouse will
have a few hours to spar this fall to devote to the runners.
However, he will have a busy time getting acquainted and
introducing his system ef play to young men whom he hai
never seen.
All Star Game
Tickets for the all iter game
pital are now available and may be purchased through James J.
Richardson of Multnomah stadium who is chairman of the com
mittee in charge. Reserved seat pasteboards may be had at $3
per copy. The contest between upstate and Portland high school
seniors is booked for Multnomah field, the night of August 27.
The coaching staff for the "country boys" consists of Mel Ingram
of Grants Pass, Lee Ragsdale of Medford and Harry Thompson
of Gresham. The Portland all atari will see action under the
direction of Eric Waldorf, Jefferson high; Ted Ogdahl, Grant, and
Harry Scarff of Central Catholic. .
Cow Palace Out
The bigwigs of the Pacific Coast eonference might have
tried their prc-season basketball tournament In the north
end before throwing the Idea Into the ash can. The Cow
Palace where It was stared last year was far from attractive
cither to the players er the cash customers. The latter stayed
away In droves because of their dislike of the facilities, or, to
be more exact, for the lack of them. Perhapa Spec Keene
would have extended an Invitation to hold the tourney In
Oregon State's new J1.7SM00 pavilion if he had felt reason
ably sure that the hug structure would be ready. But, there's
a big doubt that the building will be ready for the first
conference games.
Inviting A Fine?
An Associated Press dispatch out of Fall River, Mass., carries
the information that "Schoolboy star Joe Andrews 17, will leave
for the University of Washington to consider an offer of four
year scholarship. Young Andrews said he had offers from 39
colleges and eight major league
panied by Al McCoy, former assistant football coach at Harvard
and now a member of the University of Washington athletic
staff." The Husky institution for the second straight year drew
the largest assessment for violations of the PCC purity code.

WALCOTT-CHARLES
Forecast
Chicago, June 21 For the
first time since Joe Louis cor
nered the heavyweight boxing
market 12 years ago and whip
ped all comers, a real even
Stephen contest for the title has
shaped up in the Ezzard Charles-
Jersey Joe Walcott scrap to
morrow night.
Although the bout has been
dubbed the "slim pickins' "
heavyweight championship, it
sincerely presents two fired-up
contestants who are not afraid
of each other and appear even
ly matched.
Louis, before he retired and
tossed up his crown for the
Charles-Walcott winner, always
was an overwhelming favorite
who usually came through right
on schedule in cut-and-dried
fashion.
About the nearest he came to
being dismantled was by Wal
cott in December of 1947. Jer
sey Joe floored him and carried
the attack through 13 rounds
only to lose a decision which
still is mighty controversial.
Walcott, the 35-year-old fam
ily man from Camden, N. J., and
27-year-old Charles, unmarried
Cincinnati slugger who has lost
only four times in eight years,
at odds of about 6-5, take your
pick.
A definite swing to Walcott
has been reported with the pre
sent odds dropping from 7-5 to
13-10 for Ezzy, indicating Jersey
Joe's late support probably will
send the two Negro heaviea to
gether at even money.
Charles' comparative youth is
being upheld by his backers as

Walcott's only fighting in the
la year has been done in ex
hibitions. Charles has been busy
leaving the light-heavy ranks
which he dominated to knock
out such 200-pounders as Joe
Baksi and Johnny Haynes.
The big question seems to be
whether the aging Walcott, who
has diligently done 300 miles
of read work and nearly 130
rounds of sparring in prepara
tion for his third crack at the
heavyweight bauble, has enough
gas to last 15 rounds in case
there is no earlier kayo.
