Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Piney Wood Hat Young Ball Club; Here Wednesday Something different in the line of barnstorming baseball teams will be seen here Wed nesday night when the Cratera, following their week-long stay In Portland for a couple of state tournament games, go against the Piney Woods Collegians un der the lights at the fairgrounds park. Most of your traveling ball clubs are composed of veteran performers: men who have played together for years and years, like the House of Davids, Kansas City Monarchs, Zulu Giants, and others. But such is not the case with the Piney Woods Collegians. This club is made up of young college boys attending the fa mous Piney Woods school for colored lads, at Piney Woods, Mississippi. The moment college la out in the siring the boys, under the management of Lee W. Payne, head out for their an nual barnstorming swing throughout the nation. While the Collegians, natur ally, lack the experience boasted by other traveling outfits, their record indicates ihey are not far behind. If at 11. In the matter of baseball kill. Last season. In MS games, the young Negro team won 128. That's a record to be proud of. and those who have seen the club In action claim It Is on a par with the Davids and Monarchs. con sidered tops. In a pair of games against Montana State league opposition recently, the Collegians beat Missoula, 14 to 7 and Butte, 8 to 8. Unless a miracle occurs, the Craters are going to be nosed out of the second-half Oregon State league championship. That miracle, which must happen, is that Albany loses at least one of its four remaining games, two against the seventh-place Port land Babes and a pair against Billy Roos' Jack and Jill Tavern- men. Tied for first place with Sll verton and Eugene, the Alco Oaks have by far the easiest re maining schedule, and should go on through without a defeat. If such happens, Mcdford can't possibly catch up because they are one game behind now, in a tie with Bend for second place with (ix wins and four losses. Albany, Eugene and Silverton all have won seven and lost three. So far as Eugene and 811. verton ere concerned, they also have much tougher slates from now on out. than Albany. Eugene and Silver ton mutt play each other next week-end. then to wind up the second-half race Eugene comes te Medford and Silverton plays at Bend. In short, while Albany Is taking on the Babes and Jlllers. Silverton and Eu gene will be bucking heads and colliding with first divis ion clubs In Bend and Med ford, Yep, It looks like the AIco Oaks are Just about "in," so far as second-half race In concerned. The Craters, of course, aren't mathematically out of it yet. If they could win their next four games, two against Bend next Sunday and a pair against Eu gene here the following week end, while Albany is dropping at least one, there would still be a chance. Although it's a long shot bet it's still possible, so hope shouldn't be abandoned until the final results are in. Some funny things happen In baseball, like Sunday's game against Hills Creek, tor instance. Fights Last Night 1 By the Associated Prats.

(U.B There is only one man whose opinion concerning the outcome of tomorrow night's fight be tween Henry Armstrong and Lew Jenkins is worth considering. That man is Henry' Armstrong. Only he really knows how much he has deteriorated as a fighter since 1938. when he owned three world titles. Locked in his mind is the secret his muscles have told him as he worked for the 12-round battle with the hard-faced slugger from Sweetwater. With Armstrong reluctant, as usual, to make a prediction, there is a great difference of opinion concerning what the past two years have done to him. Some of the experts would have you believe that Father Time has been as unkind to the little Negro welterweight cham pion as Henry was to his oppon ents when he was winning three titles. They say he is no more the Armstrong of old than the whisper of a conch shell is the roar of the real surf, and that Jenkins' dynamite fists will cruelly expose his true condi tion. Others, and Just as competent, ovservers say that even Father Time and his scythe haven't been able to appreciably slow down the muscular fury of the one-time bootblack from Cali fornia, and that he will be the same old leather-handed dervish once the bell calls him Into ac tion. Frankly, I wouldn't know. My gifts are many and varied, but they don't include an ability to look at a box-fighter, sniffling and snorting and sparring around a practice ring, and de termine what the passing of two years had done to him. I am a good hand at making fudge. Few are consistently able to take me at tic-tac-toe. My Stars and Stripes Forever on the mu sical saw is touched with gentus, and I'll pogo-stick with the best. But I m a poor hand at spotting erosion or corrosion in a fighter. I thought Lou Ambers was at his peak when training for this same Jenkins a few months ago, and you know what happened. Ambers came into the ring only a hollow shell of a hollow shell, and the Texan all but killed him. Then there was Galento when he was training for Maxie Baer. Tony looked about the way he always had to me, but Softball the bout revealed him as a com pletely stove-in barrel, and in a condition that any first class veterinarian would have pro nounced as serious. So, I'll just have to guess at how Armstrong feels. And so will everyone else, for that mat ter. My guess is that he isn't the fighter he was two years ago, or even a year ago. My medical knowledge is limited, but I am quite sure that muscles don't thrive on abuse. And Armstrong has abused his. He has thrown tens of thousands of punches in his time, and taken thousands. Now, having decided that Armstrong has gone back, there is nothing left to do but take a guess at how far he has gone back. I don't think he has slipped enough to warrant pick ing Jenkins to lick him. Even if he is only two-thirds of the man he was when he was lick ing everybody in sight, and lick ing the daylights out of them, that'll be sufficient to tame the cowboy from the plains. If events prove me wrong, why send me a handsome gift to cheer me up. I ll be so de spondent, and a little gift pack age from all of you would re store the sunshine to my life. BRITllfOiSCIAl TO MEET EMERGENCY Blackpool, Eng., July 16. (U.R Minister of Mines David Rhys Grenfell announced today that the government is laying by, against possible winter needs, a public stock of 20,000, 000 tons of coal. This coal, Grenfell told a con ference of the United Mine Workers, will be used In the event of transport interruptions. Such a reserve would be enough for only six weeks, but large coal consumers, such as railways, steel works and gas and electric plants, are being urged to lay in large stocks also, Grenfell said. Om tlali Trtbun want fttta. "You can't tell the Players without a scorecard!" The cry goes out to the millions in the nation's grand stand.

It tells where this product is available, and at what price.
