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.

By Tom Reedy
Hershey, Pa., Aug. 28. (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.

Seattle. Aug. 28 (P) After
a meeting last night directors of
the Pacific Coast Hockey league
revealed sentiment was against
continuing as a three-team loop
this winter but they said they
had established no definite lines
for a fourth team from the
northwest or California. They
declined to discuss the possibil
ities. The directors expressed confi
dence the sport would be con
tinued this season.

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.
News of his presence did not
become known until today, 24
hours after his departure.
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.

CAMPBELL SHOOTS 141
IN QUALIFI
OF NATIONAL
By Hugh S. 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.
