PAOR TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. I.IEDFORD OREGON'. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 28. 1910. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Seattle Fandom Goes Crazy Over - League Leaders .Seattle is Dlumb baseball nuts, . With Jack Lelivelt'i Rainiers topping second-place CaKiana and Los Angeles by some 11 full ball games, fandom in the Puget Sound metropolis has kicked over the traces and is figura tively tearing the town to pieces us the club rams Its way to the Coast league pennant. How do we know these things? . Well, in Uncle Sam s mall to day was a letter from Al uouia, sports editor of the Medford Hi Times last season and a fellow who has, at various times, done some very excellent writing Jobs for this paper. Al Is In Seattle In uorrh of a lournalistic post, of all things, and he pens that, "Boy, this town is really base ball crazy." Continuing: "All you hear Is 'did) a see what the Rainiers did today. or, 'that Kewpie (Barrett) was really on last night.' Every conversation gets around lo the Rainiers sooner or later. Even when you are walking In the residential dis trict every other house echoes to the voice of Leo Lassen announcing that day's game." All of which Is proof that a smart, progressive baseball man, who Isn't afraid to send dough after dough, can whip up white hot enthusiasm In any town, no matter how long baseball has been dead there. For several years Seattle, so far as the national pastime was concerned, was in the doldrums. The club played on a poor field and the ownership was too tight with the purse strings to enable a succession of managers to place winning clubs on the diamond. What fans there were responded by staying away from Civic sta dium In droves. Then came Emll Sick, owner of a large brewery. He acquired control of the Seattle team, then railed the Indians; constructed Sick stadium at a vast cost, hired Jack Lelivelt as manager at a whopping salary, and Imme diately started paying his hired hands top potatoes in the league. As for the clients. Sick made sure they had every comfort a modern baseball plant could give. The result was startling. From being one of the poorest towns in the loop. Seattle rocketed to the top, aided by Freddie Hutchinson and his great hurling In 1938. The fans loved the team and they loved the manner in which Owner Sick loved his tesm. They loved the treatment they received at the ball park the most modern facilities, the finest lighting system In the circuit, comfortable seats, etc. The last two years are history, of course. Seattle is probably the finest minor league city in America. Mr. Sick, because he wasn't afraid to give the fans the- best there was to give, re gardless of cost, is now rrnplng his deserved golden harvest. We can't help comparing the Sick baseball regime in Seattle with that of another we could' name, Just about 300 miles to , the northward. The comparison isn't a pretty one. . i Before we go too far on that ; wmimrun DUSincss, we Deueri eeinember to finish relaying part' w m ii-ui-i. m saw wie w asn-t Ington Redskins of the National1 New York 65 54 professional football league play Boston a 57 the West all-stars in Seattle re-lchlcnso fp 57 eently, and here is what he savs The two things that Im pressed me mostly were the blocking and punting.

(IP) The 1940 professional golf cham pionship boiled down today to a series of two-man duels, holding more swift disaster for even the best of players than any other test in the game. Over 18 holes anything can happen, and that's how this phase of the pro tournament starts out. Most of the players feel more comfortable about the 36-hole matches which come later in the week, until two men reach Sunday's finals. Sixty-four players shot 154 or better Monday and yesterday to qualify for these matches. Dick Mctz, off Oak Park, 111., won the medal for 69-71-140, a stroke better than Harold (Jug) McSpaden, of Winchester, Mass. Metz's performance was four strokes higher than the P.G.A. qualifying record and five above the 36-hole mark for this 7.017 yord course. It was remarkable though under the trying condi tions of rain, mud and cold. The mud caught up with most of the players yesterday. Only seven in the two days compiled 36-hole scores equal to or better than par of 146 for that dis tance. Defending Champion Henry G. Picard, who as horn epro holds most of the records on this layout, trailed Metz and Mc Spaden with 73-69-142. Ben Hogan was fourth with 143, Ed Dudley had 145 and Viv Ghezzi and Johnny Kinder, 146.

Assurance Given Hartnett He'll Lead Cubs Next Year By Charle Dunkley Chicago, Aug. 28 (Pi Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chi cago Cubs, may feel pained about the showing of his ball club this year, but he's satisfied with Manager Charles Leo "Gabby" Hartnett. The club owner said that 1 " Hartnett would be around as Cub manager in 1941, although the contract won't be signed until about the time Christmas presents are being handed out "I have assured him I contem plate no changes in the manage ment," said Wrigley. "I'm satis fied Hartnett has done a much better Job this year than last." Wrigley Jokingly referred to himself as the biggest detriment to the Cubs. "For one thing, I don't make any money out of them," he explained- "Undoubtedly, if I were to depend upon them for a' liv ing, I would be out there paying close attention to them myself. We have a goad organiation, and the club runs whether I'm around or not, which is the way it should be." Hartnett, playing hit 19th year with the Cubs, was elated over Wrigley's decision. "That's great that's swell," Hartnett commented, "naturally I'm delighted. I feel sure we will have a fine ball club next year. Before that however, we have a present Job to do. We've got to get into the first division." AMERICAN VISIT E New York, Aug. 28. (JP) An emissary of the Duke of Windsor has been In New York apparently making quiet prep arations for the former British sovereign's expected visit to the United States and Canada.

The Duke In an interview re cently at Bermuda while en route to Nassau expressed great Interest in New York city and said he thought he should pay the city another visit. . He still has a fine cattle ranch In Canada, which he des cribed as "the only property I own in the world," and the pro jected trip undoubtedly would include a stop there.

Fullerton. Jr. New York, Aug. 28 UPh After watching the scores roll in from the 28 sectional qualifying rounds for the national amateur championship, it Is possible to understand Bud Ward's threat to round up a team of amateur golfers and lick the pros' Ryder cup team. Not all the nation's best ama teur golfers were competing yes terday when more than 700 play ers fired two rounds apiece in hopes of winning one of the 140 places in the amateur at New York's Winged Foot club Sept. 9. Ten of them, in fact, drew automatic exemption be cause they had won the title in previous years. Still it would take a lot of sharpshooting to beat the kind of golf yesterday's leaders played. The top men in three districts turned in 36-hole scores of 141 and four other players were only a stroke behind. There were a couple of 68 s and 69's recorded on individual rounds and scores in the low 70's were quite common. The leading scorers were Bob by Dunkelberger of High Point, N. C, Jack Shields of Tulsa and Albert (Scotty) Campbell of Seattle, who shot the 141s. The worst pair of successful rounds was turned in at Minneapolis where Don Peddie managed to qualify with 82-80 162.
