The hitters are giving the bleachers and fences a daily barrage of baseballs, with 14 out of the 16 major league teams showing Increases In homer pro duction over the corresponding period a year ago.

Tax Service Men FREE Tl OPEN TITLE BY MRS. ZA Former Olympic Star Shows Faultless Golf to Defeat Dorothy Germain. Chicago, June 24 (U.R) Ex hibiting almost faultless golf after a brief wild spell on the 15th and 16th holes, calm and nerveless Babe Dldrlkson Zaharis clipped three strikes off of women's par to amass a 7 and 5 triumph over Dorothy Germain, Drexel Hills, Pa., to capture the loth Womens West ern Open Golf title today. It was the second open cham pionship for Mrs. Zaharlas, who defeated Mrs. Russell Mann at Milwaukee In 1040. The former Olympic star from Dallas, Tex., and recently , from Beverly Hills, Calif., regained the title from Lt. Patty Berg of the Ma rines, who was eliminated in the quarter-finals. Billed as the longest wood shooter In women's golf, the Babe did not restrict her talents to the woods today, as she did everything well. Particularly amazing to the 1,000-fan gallery was Babe's putting. She one- putted 14 greens cut of 31 holes, sank a 25-foter on the fourth, and chipped over a stymie to hole out on the third. Equally amazing was her deadly approach, which took much of the pressure off her putts by making them as short as possible. On eight of her 14 one-putt greens, her putts were four feet or less. Even-up at the 18-hole midway mark, Mrs. Zaharias' triumph was wrapped up in her tremendous stretch drive, which packed the kick of a miler running the final quarter. She birdied the 10th and parred the 20, one-putting each, to take a rapid 2-up mar gin. After halving the 21st, she swept two more holes, laying an approach three-feet from the pin on the 22nd for a birdie-4 and drove the 100-yard 23rd green for a par-3. She birdied the 323-yard 25th to go 5-up. Then both oppon ents shot par golf for three holes for halves, before Mrs. Zaharias made things final by laying an approach one foot from the pin to par the 20th, and took the match with an other par-4 on the 31st. , RACING New York, June 24 u;r) Alfred P. Parker's By Jimminy, a slim brown colt with wings on his heels, shook off two chal lenges and then romped home four lengths in front to capture the 66th running of the ancient Dwyer stakes at Aqueduct to day. With Ted Atkinson In the saddle, the son of Pharamond 2nd came home In front over the mile and a quarter route in the fast time of 2:03 23. Sec ond came Greentrce stable's Stir Up, and third by five more lengths was George D. Widen er's Lucky Draw. Detroit, Mich., June 24 (U.R) Kansas-born Johnny Adams, bounded back to the form that earned him his third national Jockey championship in 1943, today rode five winners at De troit to highlight a program in which his neighbor ran off with the featured $7,900 added Marie Guyon handicap.

TILDE NET OFFICIALS Los Aneeles, June 24 U.R) Big Bill Tilden tonight drove a; verbal cannonball serve at offi cials of the Southern California Tennis association who. he charged, were guilty of "dicta torship" and "lack of coopera tion" in arranging exhibitions for servicemen. Tilden said Perry T. Jones, as sociation secretary, had denied Jack Knemeycr permission to ap oear in matches organized by Big Bill for service hospitals at Palm Springs and Pasadena this week end. "As far as I know," said Til den, "in no other cart of the country .have there been any ob lectlons'raised for pros and ama teurs playing together for the good cause. "I am apneallng to the play ers of southern California to break the dictatorship that an nears to bind them, that would keen them from playing for any good cause for our servicemen," Tilden challenged the associa tion "and paitlcularly Perry T. Jones, to professionalize in a group nil of the amateurs who have thus violated the sacred rules of the U. S. Lawn Tennis association for what they rightly consider the greater cause of pa triotism." Secretary Jones parried with a public statement that associa tion rules forbidding amateurs to clay professionals had been re-1 laxed. but only so far as profes sionals now in the service were concerned. Rcnlving to the charge that the California bodv was more stringent In Its application of the ruling than other tennis groups. Jones announced that he had re ceived a telegram of approval from Holcomhe Ward, U. S. L T. A. president. TO VISIT FRONT Salt Lake City.

Phone 341S RETURN BATTLE IS In addition to the possibility of a rematch between Walter (Sneeze) Achiu and "Gorgeous Georae" Wagner on next Thurs day nights armory wrestling card, two new matmen will dis play their wares to local fan- dom, Promoter MacK ijiiiara an nounced Saturday. The newcomers are Ivan Jones of Denver, Colo., and Tony Mo relll of Florida. Jones has never appeared in southern Oregon but Morelll grappled here sev eral years ago. Although not too keen on at tempting to bring Wagner and Achiu together again, Lillard said that he would make the ef fort in deference to the large number of mat addicts who want to see the thing go through. The promoter made no bones of the fact he was no little Irked at Wagner's antics on last week's program, when the glamour boy hippodromed all over the plaee, challenging Achiu, ranting at the fans and castigating Lillard, himself. "I don't like to be high-pressured into anything and I don't believe Achiu does, either," Lil lard explained. "Wagner acted like a spoiled brat with his vio lent demand for another crack at Achiu, but If Sneeze wants to take him on again it's okeh with me. I'll do the best I can to arrange it." - Wagner's bitterness toward everybody in general was born week before last, when 'Achiu trounced him in a torrid battle. Wagner claims that Achiu choked him while both were out side the ring, and that Lillard failed to intervene. If permission from the proper military authorities can be ob tained, Pvt. Peterson and Sgt. McCoy, both of Camp White, will go fo the mat in a special attraction. THE GRANGE Central Point Grange - H. E.
