ULBRICKSON SAYS CREW LOST EDGE BUT STILL GREAT California Rated Washing ton's Most Serious Threat Others to Also-Run UOW THEY? STAND Rational League St. Louis . Brooklyn New York .. Cincinnati Chlcago Pittsburgh Boston Philadelphia W. 43 42 32 31 30 24 22 18 The beauty of a young ball player Is that he never quits hustling and trying; he goes af ter everything In sight, and al though he might boot one, per haps an easy one, a play or so later he Is Jiable to come up with something that Jerks you right out of your seat A nice example of this youth ful bustle was seen Saturday night when the Craters beat Eu gene 6,-3. In the second Inning Bob Churchill, the Crater's rifle armed third sacker, raced to his left to field Wiltshire's easy hop per, and kicked It. The ball, It appeared, actually belonged to Shortstop Del Schroer. Undismayed by this error, Churchill pulled a honey on the very next ball hit. Joe Spencer smashed a sissler that appeared bound tor a single Into left Held, but Church took two quick steps to his left stabbed the ball with his gloved hand and started a fast double play via Volk at second. By Bill Bonl Pouihkeepsle. N. Y.. June 24 WV-Since the day in April when his varsity crew beat California In a record-breaking three-mile race. Coach Al Ul brlckson's University of Wash ington Huskies have been on the spot. Though tomorrow's intercolle giate regatta then was more than two months away, the Huskies promptly were made favorites to repeat their 1940 Hudson river victory. "It's unfortunate, but I've giv en up trying to talk people out of It," Ulbrlckson said today. 'They forget a lot can happen In two months and this time it did." What happened, chiefly, was that the Washington! lost their edge, and didn't have proper weather conditions to regain it Ulbrlckson, therefore, feels that right now they are nowhere near the class they were In April. Credit to Boys "When we started this crew season, we didn't expect a thing," he explained. "We had only three holdovers from the 1940 varsity Ted Garhart at stroke, Charles Jackson at No. S and the bow man, six-foot-seven John Bracken. But the boys, with a great display of will power, went out on their own to whip themselves Into a crew. They did a great Job. Against California they were as fine as any eight I've ever seen. They didn't miss or muff anything from start to finish. But after hitting that peak they apparent ly decided they were a crew. and could get it back any time I think they've been finding out here that's easier lost than re-won." It still Is a powerful crew more powerful, the coach Is sure, even than his 1938 Olym pic champions. But they lack that boat's polish. He doesn't say they won't win, but he doesn't think, either, they're the sure-shots everyone is making them. Of the eight shells which will line up against his varsity at 2:43 p. m. (PST) tomorrow, Ul brlckson has the most regard for California, his neighbor on boathouse row. West Not Threatened The other seven starters look like one great muddle. Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia, new-comer Rutgers, Princeton, with style but perhaps without stamina, M. I. T. and even lightweight Wisconsin all figure to beat somebody across the finish line at the end of the four miles. Not one of them, though, has the stamp of a real threat to the west. American and Coast league standings unchanged. UlilSlD FIELD IN QUALIFY ROUNDS; 77 FAT FREDDIE IN By Gall Fowler Spokane, June 24. (IP) Big names were a dime a dozen, but a couple of unsung Spokaneites elbowed to the front yesterday In the opening day of the Paci fic northwest men's and women's amateur golf tourneys. Marsh Hammond, who Sunday won the city's municipal title, tied for medalist honors at the halfway mark of the 30-hole qualifying round with a 70 sharing top billing with Louis Jennings of Portland, one of Oregon's top golfers. Par Is 38-3872. Betty Jean Ruckner, husky 18-year-old high school girl whose father, Mahlon Rucker, is president of the P. N. G. A., made her dad beam by shooting a 79 for medal honors in the women's 18-hole qualifier. In so doing, Betty Jean nosed out none other than Betty Jame son of San Antonio, Tex., the national women's champion. Miss jHmeson took an 80. The men, meanwhile, were shooting at Hammond and Jen nings on their final 18 holes of qualifying for the match play which begins Wednesday for the 32 low scorers over the 36-hole route. The three gallery gods. Bud Ward, former national amateur champion, Blng Crosby, the boop-a-dooper from Hollywood who is bark In his old home town here for the tourney, and Ken Black, the Canadian ama teur champion from Vancouver, B. C, will have to step on it today If they hope to overhaul the leaders. But it looks like a hopeless task. Ward turned In a 78; Crosby a 77, and Black 80. NEW II" PLAN FOR BUSH TEAMS LICKS Pin, 9 TO 4 By Gayle Talbot (Associated Press Writer) What might prove one of the most significant victories of the National league race was scored by fat Freddie Fitzslmmons of the Dodgers yesterday when he licked Pittsburgh, 9 to 4, in one of the day's two big-league games. The win did more than Just boost Brooklyn within a half game of the idle St. Louis Cards. It afforded almost positive proof that Fitzslmmons, the wonder veteran who won 18 and lost only two last year. Is at last ready to begin taking a weekly turn for a team that has pennant fever. Meanwhile, at Chicago, Claude Passeau of the Cubs and Hal Schumacher of the Giants hooked up In one of the season's most brilliant duels, with Pas seau the eventual victor, 1 to 0.
