Billy Hulen Says:

Golf Tourney
Should Continue
Esquire's sports poll for July
deals exc'usively with golf, and
consistent with the votes for
war-time continuance of sports
in previous polls is the fact that
69.9 per cent of the balloters
in this latest poll felt that the
national open and national ama
teur should not have been called
of this year.
Match play. In the opinion of
60.97 per cent of the voters, is
superior to medal play In deter
mining true individual sou su
periority, and 66.38 per cent
voted that a war-time goll oau
of shorter distance would not
reduce their pleasure in playing
Practice was deemed by 21.26
tier cent of the balloters as the
most important single factor in
the development of a good goll
swing, and S0.73 per cent voted
that playing at a stop-and-gock
dace, without supervised in
struction, is harmful to a golfer.
Golf presents more opportu
nities for creating good business
contacts than any other sport, in
the opinion of 77.36 per cent of
the Esquire balloters.
To the questioni "What
well-executed shot oa the
links gives you the most
pleasure?" the approach led
with 49.67 per cent, the drive
was next with 32.77 per cnt
and the putt last with 17.55
per cent.
Both arms, in the opinion of
44.86 per cent of the voters, pre
dominate In the proper golf
swing, though 44.88 per cent be
lieved the left arm predominat
ed and 10.56 per cent the right
arm.
A wide variety of answers were
received on the question detail
ing the start of the swing. The
highest total of 24.08 per cent
favored the theory of "Just
swinging freely without think
ing of anything in particular,"
but 23.79 per cent thought the
club should be swung along the
line of play.
A total of 89.23 per cent be
lieved that value to a golf game
could be lcarued by watching
star golfers In tournaments,
C5.66 per cent believed that the
same could be accomplished by
studying moving pictures of golf
stars in action, and 70.19 per
cent placed their stamp of ap
proval on reading books about
KoU.
In the 'Frisco Chronicle's
semi-pro baseball section Mon
day was a note concerning the
trip to Medf ord to be taken next
week-end by the Bear Photo
team of San Francisco. Quoting
the Chronicle: "The Bear Photos
are taking to the road next
week-end for a two-game en
gagement with the Medford,
Ore., club. The Bears, who have
won six games out of nine this
ear, have a game set for Sat
urday night and then play a
second on Sunday afternoon.
This is about the longest trip of
the year for the Bears, who will
depend on the pitching ability
of Bob Pcrret and Cookie Pera
In the Medford series."
Alto In the column was the
following "dope" on the Bear
Photosi "Skipper Johnny Ma
rettl of the Bear Photo nine
says that the reason the team
has been winning the major
ity of tts games this year Is
becai.se of the high class work
of Sammy Gomes, outfielder)
Al (Papi) Chiaruccl. catcher
and Solly Costa, shortstop.
The latter two are 20 year-old
youngters and Jutt recently
graduated irom the Junior
team."
An env way to designate In
dividual face cloths and bath
towels is to assign diff rc.it col
ors to each member of the fam
ily. Then mark the ariicles with
washable colored threads.

Evanston, 111., June 17. (AP) Big Ten athletes upset their
Pacific coast foes last night to break for the first time the track
mastery the westerners have enjoyed in the six years the two
conferences have been meeting.
Fresh from dominating the
national Intercollegiate meet at
Lincoln, Neb., the best the coast
boys could do was capture first
places in six of the 13 events
with Southern California, the
N.C.A.A. champion, winning two
of them.
The point totals were 69 2-3
to 37 1-3 in favor of the Big Ten,
which never before had come
within 24 points of winning. The
Big Ten took all three places In
the discus throw while the coast
stars slammed the shotput event.
There were two double win
ners. California's Hal Davis won
the 100-yard dash In 9.5 and the
220 in 20.4, both new meet rec
ords, and Ohio State's Bob
Wright took both hurdles. He
set a record of 14 seconds flat In
the 120-yard highs. Other rec
ords were not threatened.
Only one of the meet's three
exhibition performances was suc
cessful, Dwight Eddleman, Cen
tralis, 111., prep high jumper,
cleared 6 feet, 6 inches, two
inches above the collegians' best.
The Great Lakes naval training
station mile relay team finished
last as the coast quartet won,
and Cornelius Warmerdam failed
in three attempts to clear 15 feet
In the pole vault.
Suffering from a twisted left
ankle suffered in a New York
charity show Sunday, Warmer
dam had to settle for a 14-foot, 2
lnch performance.

OPEN XROOSHUL'
Slaughter's Homer Gives St.
Louis 4-3 Win Over
Giants Red Sox Torrid.
By Sid Feder
Associated Press Sports Writer.
This is Just to let the happy
Gowanus girls and boys in gen
eral and Larry MacPhail's
Brooklyn Bums In particular
in on a little secret . . . there
really is another team in the
National league.
The way the pats on the back
are bouncing arbund the Flat
bush side of the East river these
days, no one seems to realize
that the Dodgers may be in a
fight for that pennant yet. But
just in case it's been overlooked
over there, the St. Louis Cardi
nals are on the prowl. And with
six wins in a row and 14 out
of their last 17, they are strictly
not an outfit to be brushed off
like a blonde hair on your coat
lapel.
At any rate, the season's first
"crooshal" series is cooking up
to start Thursday, when the
used-to-be gas housers wheel
their circus into Ebbets field. At
this writing, the Cards are Just
4Vi games away, having dis
posed of the Giants 4-3 yester
day on the strength of Enos
Slaughter's tenth-inning homer.
And, taking another chunk
out of the same steak, it might
be pointed out that the Red Sox,
over in the American league,
also can still make trouble, even
if the New York Yankees are
bouncing along on a nine-game
lead after splitting their five
hour twin bill with Detroit yes
terday. For, the Red Sox, spark
ed by Lefty Judd's six-hit curv
ing, knocked off the bewildered
Brownies from St. Louis 4-2 last
night to run their winning
streak to nine count 'em in a
row.
Yanks Divide
Over in the American league,
the Yanks and Tigers put on
something new starting a
double header in Detroit at 3 p.
m. the Bronx boys blew the
first game 7-6 on Rudy York's
14th homer of the year and
Jimmy Bloodworth s eighth.
And they were on the way to
kicking the after-piece away
when the Detroits loaded the
bases on Hank Borowy in the
ninth inning. But Fireman
Johnny Murphy arrived with
his hook-and-laddcr curve as
usual to save a 5-3 decision and
keep Barowy among the sea
sons undefeated elbowers with
five wins.

PLAN FIRE HELP
Members of the Rogue River
Sportsmen's club and all inter
ested sportsmen of the valley
are reminded of the meeting in
the chamber of commerce to
night at 7:30. The main pur
pose of this meeting will be to
work out a program with the
Rogue River National Forest
whereby sportsmen will be able
to help during the coming fire
season if an emergency should
develop in our national forest.
It has been indicated that an
emergency is possible, and in
such case, it may become neces
sary for many civilians to assist
the forest service. Sportsmen
will be given a definite place In
this program if they are willing
to help.
An official from the office
of the Rogue River National
Forest will be present at the
meeting and will explain the
various features of the plan as
well as the various rules which
the public will have to observed
in the use of the national forests I
this summer. I
At this meeting directors will i
be elected and plans made for
giving support to the "Coastal
Streams Bill" which was passed
during the last session of the
legislature and which is being
opposed by the commercial fish
ing interests under a referen
dum to the people.
All sportsmen are earnestly
urged to attend since it will give
everyone interested in conserva
tion a real opportunity to make
a contribution to the program of
fire protection and prevention.
It is planned that a field trip
will be taken in the near future,
at which time explanation will
be given of various phases of the
program.
