Plops in Hole
Anderson, S. C, June 12.
UP) Playing a 130-yard hole
on the Boscobel course, Golfer
Frank C. Gross was annoyed
(when his tee shot sailed past
the green), surprised (when
the ball hit a tree and bounced
back) and delighted (when it
rolled into the cup for a hole-ln-one.
This latter rule wai adopted
unanimously with the thought
in mind that this year hitting
will probably be much freer
than in the past and the game
will be speeded up by the use
of the tenth man. Portland
teams have played under this
arrangement successfully for
some years.
Players are to be given non
transferable passes. Season tick
ets good for all regular sched
uled games are now on sale. It
is hoped that at least 200 season
tickets can be sold prior to the
opening Tuesday night. These
tickets can be obtained from any
of the team managers or at the
gate at the field. Children under
14 will be admitted free.
Originally, play on only two
nights a week was planned, but
the interest shown by the play
ers and the public has caused
this to be changed to four nights
a week with the league at full
strength of eight teams. Play
will be on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday x and Friday nights.
Double headers will be played
each night with only one game
in progress at a time. Only one
diamond will be used and it will
be set up in the center of the
turfed high school field directly
in front of the grandstand.
Ends Aug. 12
There will be a total of 28
nights of play and the season will
be finished on August 12.
The cantonment planners now
have around 120 men working
at the armory and on their sur
vey crews and most of these
men are young enough to play
softball. It is hoped that those
who want to play can get lined
up with the teams in the league
or better still form their own
team and enter the league.
Greenwood Lake, N. Y., June
12. UP) It is a matter for argu
ment whether Joe Louis has
more pooh-poohs for Billy Conn's
"smart cracks" or his "powder
puff punching.
The "cracks" have steamed
the bomber up so much he is all
out to end next Wednesday
night's Polo Grounds tussle with
the first punch, if he can. His
sparring partners are all banged
up from catching what he
promises to deal off the arm to
Billy.
Pompton Lakes, June 12. VP)
Billy Conn of Pittsburgh is
basing his belief that he will win
the heavyweight championship
from Joe Louis next Wednesday
night largely on the conviction
that the negro has lost "SO per
cent of his punch and no longer
can hurt an opponent seriously
with one lick.
For those who have been
wondering how a little fellow
like Billy could be so cocksure
of whipping the big man known
as the bomber, that explains a
lot. Both Billy , and his man
ager. Johnny Ray, are absolutely
convinced that Louis has slipped
badly in the last year and is ripe
for the taking.

Washington, D. C. June 12.
While the war department plant
activities inland in Oregon, the
navy is arranging to strengthen
its coast positions. From San
Diego to Alaska the navy will
establish sectional bases in the
coming year, preparing nrsts for
mall craft from where they can
dart to sea. scout and return to
these shelters. There is more
than the sectional bases in the
program; there is an extensive
plan for the construction of small
craft to use the bases. Unless
the information is incorrect,
some of these boats will be built
on the Columbia river.
Starting at San Diego, there
will be a base at San Pedro, San
Francisco, Morro bay. Eureka
(just south of the Oregon line).
Coos bay, Astoria, Seattle, Port
Townsend, Port Angeles and
Neah bay. Then a jump to
Alaska, with sectional bases at
Dutch Harbor. Kodiak. Ketchi
kan, Petersburg, Juneau and
Seward. Such Is the set-up, but
later there is a prospect of other
bases and thereafter let con.
City, Gold Beach, Yaquina and
Gray's Harbor. First estimate
is for $50,000,000 and if this
isn't sufficient a deficiency bill
will be introduced next year.
This money is for the stations
not for the small craft. Cost of
each station will be a trifle less
than $1,000,000, with a few sta
tions In excess of that amount
depending on the complement
of boats, the housing facilities
required, ete.
FROM end to end the Pacific
coast will be pockmarked with
these small facilities and at long
last the admirals have come to
realize Oregon and Washington
the Pacific northwest are
worth protecting. Heretofore
naval activities have been con
centrated at the bathing beaches
of southern California, and at
tempts to arouse their interest
In the Columbia river region
have met with a fishy eye. The
navy Is now going to town In
the northwest and from Eureka
to the straits of Juan de Fuca
there will be a navy patrol.
With approximately 60 aec
tional bases (they will be scat
tered from Portland, Maine, to
Trinidad, to Cuba, the canal
zone) a substantial fleet of small
craft will be required. A few
of these boats will be built on
the Great Lakes and worked
down the Atlantic coast, or reach
the gulf via the Mississippi, but
on the Pacific coast there will
be work for more shipyards;
new shipyards.
Some of these boats will be
the swift mosquito type, built
for high speed (60 m.p.h.) and
carrying torpedoes. Others the
160-footers. Both of these types
can be constructed of wood. AH
of the mosquito boats have hulls
of wood. These and the larger
boats can be made on the Col
umbia river, the engines for the
speed boats being put together
In the east. A yard at Coos
bay, where one sectional base Is
to be located, has tentative
orders for eight boats, larger
than the small torpedo craft.
Before July 1 the navy should
have its appropriation for the
bases and there after lot con

purchasing canned fruit and
vegetables it is running up
against speculators and has de
cided that if the Walsh-Healy
act can be suspended it can deal
directly with the canners. Labor
unions (who wanted the law to
apply to orders as low as $2.

weakening of the Walsh-Healy
act. It is no secret, however,
that the army (and navy too)
is fed up with union demands
with excessive cost of army
camps and the constant handi
cap of strikes.
STARFISH being' the sworn
enemy of the oyster, congress
wishes to save the oyster and
make the starfish contribute
something to humanity other
than being used to decorate the
radiators of cars returning from
the beaches. The starfish wraps
itself around the oyster and rips
it open. Congressmen wish to
preserve them from the starfish
and has voted $10,000 to have
the starfish studied. There Is a
hint that it might contain vita
mins and if so scientists may dis
cover a way to use these com
mercially. Best oyster beds on
the Oregon coast are at Ya
