Billy Hulen Says:
Colored Palmer
House Club Here
Wednesday Night
The first of three nationally
famous barnstorming baseball
teams to appear here this season
the Palmer House Stars from
Chicago will take the field
gainst the State league Craters
at the fairgrounds park next
' Wednesday evening, and accord
ing to advance dope on the vis
itors the locals will probably
have their hands overflowing.
The Stars, a gang of colored
boys who won the Illinois state
semi-pro title in 1939 and 1940,
already have played four games
against three Oregon State
league opponents, and their rec
ord stands at three victories and
one defeat. That setback, of
course, was at the hands of
Albany, 8 to 2. However, the
Negroes socked Eugene's Ath
letics, 10 to 7, and grabbed a
pair from the strong Klamath
Pelicans, 10 to 9, and 8 to 3.
In addition to holding the
' Illinois state championship,
the Stars are currently the
colored national semi-pro title
holders, having nabbed the
crown at last years Wichita
tournament. Thus far on their
100-game barnstorming tour
they have lost but one game
(that to Albany), and are gen
erally considered as strong a
club as the Kansas City Mon
arch!, world's colored cham
; pioni.
Leading the star-studded ar
ray Is Jack Marshall,, voted All
American semi-pro shortstop at
the Wichita tourney; and Alex
Radcllff, manager and third
base, who batted .487 In that
tournament and was runner-up
for the hitting championship.
Another luminary in the inner
defense is "Steel Arm" Davis,
first baseman, who belted 40
homers last year. Berncll Long
est, brilliant fielder, is the sec
ond baseman.
The outfield is composed of
Johnny Bissant, the club's speed
merchant; "Bear Man" Daven
port, another streak of lightning,
and Bilbo Williams, a big slug
ger. The team carries two catchers,
H. Radcllff. brother of the man
ager, and Shirley Petway. Five
pitchers are carried "String
Bean" Williams, he of the baf
fling sidearm delivery; Lefty
Cooke, 200-pound southpaw; the
veteran Bill Mitchell, former
Porta RIcan star and ace of the
righthanders; Lenard Johnson,
promising young righthander,
and John Reed, curve bailer de
luxe.
Besides the Palmer House
Stars, the famous Kansas City
Monarchs and the equally-renowned
original House of Davids
will be here for exhibition tilts
against the Craters. The Mon
archs are slated for a week from
Wednesday night, July 16, and
the Davids the Wednesday fol
lowing, July 22.
Tradition says the clubs
leading their leagues on July
4 will be there at the tape, so
get ready for a "subway"
series between them Yankees
and them Dodgers . . this
scribe still likes Cincinnati in
the National, though . If
.the Reds could uit start hit
ting to balance their pitching
... the $3,000 that kept Joe
DIMaggio and the Yanks
part last spring probably will
be given Joseph as bonus for
his terrific batting streak . .
as Eddie Brieta remarks!
"After all, Joe drew SO.000
customers to the stadium on
Tuesday, and Ed Barrow can't
laugh that off" ...
Bud Ward Wins Western Amateur Second Time in Row

Ward First to Cop Two
Straight Since 1923; Both
Golfers Fire Birdies ,
By Loudon Kelly
Colorado Springs, July 7.
CP Western amateur cham
pion Bud Ward fell In step to
day with Chick Evans and other
fine golfers of another era.
. The present, personified by
the strong-wristed, blue-eyed
Ward, from Spokane, caught up
with the past, represented by
Evans and his contemporaries,
when Ward won his second con
secutive western crown.
Nobody else had licked one
of the biggest Jinxes In Amer
ican golf and won this event
twice In a row since Evans
closed a run of four consecutive
westerns in 1923, when the ball
was smaller, the clubs fewer
and linksmen wore short pants.
Ends on 34th
The 28-year-old Ward con
quered Texas Harry Todd, four
years younger, 3 and 2, In the
championship match yesterday
and when the contest ended on
the 34th green, the man from
the Washington wheat country
had finished giving mountain
girted Broadmoor a real lacing
for the six days of the meet.
In 149 holes of play Ward,
national amateur champion in
1939, broke par by six shots,
although he shot 142 in the
qualifying rounds to the medal
winning 141 by Todd, the Dallas
veteran.
He never once quit yesterday
but Ward, killer in a golf
fray, stayed on top of him from
the second hole on. Both players
shot not a great deal better golf
In the morning round than any
pair . of low-handicap Sunday
golfers, but they ripped any
such comparisons to ribbons on
the first afternoon nine.
Ding-Dong Match
It was birdie against birdie
in that nine-hole stretch tour
for Ward and three for' Todd
and each of the seven won the
shooter the hole. The two-time
champion posted a three-under-
par 32 for the nine against 33
for Todd, who was western
champion two years ago.
FAST SPOTTING
OF
Jacksonville, Fla. UP) War
conditions, which have silenced
the radios of American ships at
sea, may seriously impair the
efficiency of the federal hurri
cane warning service this sum
mer. The service hitherto has de
pended largely upon radio re
ports from ships in plotting and
predicting the paths of tropical
disturbances. This year the ser
vice is forced to rely almost
entirely upon reports from 30
land stations scattered through
out the Carribean area.
In the past, radio reports from
ships passing in the neighbor
hood of the Cape Verde islands,
have enabled the service to spot
a hurricane In its earliest stages,
and by constant check, to warn
vessels from its path. Today the
Cape Verde region la reported
infested with German raiders
and submarines. A single radio
signal from a ship passing
through the area might be an In
vitation to doom.
The S. S. Robin Moor was
sunk a short distance from the
birthplace of tropical storms.
Navy hydrographers have also
reported floating mines In the
same waters.
The Cape Verde Islands area
west of Dakar launched such
furious storms as the '26 Miami
hurricane, the Palm Beach
storm of 1928, and the 1938 New
England hurricane the most
destructive in history.
