HEAVY INCREASE
IN BIG LEAGUES
New York, June 24 (U.B
Big league batsmen are turning
the base lines Into assembly
lines for the greatest mass pro
duction of home runs since the
era of the lively or "Jackrabbit"
ball, a "circuit-drive" through
the record books showed tonight.
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.
The National league, which for
years had to stand qn Its repu.
tatlon as the pitchers circuit,
has taken long distance hitting
laurels away from he American
with a total of 224 homers to
date as compared with 167 for
the Junior loop.
Led by little Mel Ott, their
manager, who Is making his 20th
big league year one of his great
est, the New York Giants show
the greatest numerical increase
In either league with a total of
51 homers to date as compared
with 33 at this stage in 1043. Ott.
leading both leagues with 18
homers, already has equalled his
total production for J943 and
may challenge his top year of
1929 when he hit 42.
The Philadelphia Athletics,
lax on long distance swatting in
recent years, have made the
greatest percentage advance of
any team, thir 19 homers to date
being more than three times the
unimpressive total of six they
had compiled last year.
Only two teams, the New York
Yankees, whose batting order
used to terrify even the most
stout-hearted pitchers, and the
Philadelphia Phillies are below
their 1043 production at this
time. The'Yankees have made 23
compared with 27 a year ago
and the Phils show 18 against
21 In 1943.

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. ,

BIG BiLL. 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.

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.

TO FACE CRATERS
Charley Johnson of the Camp
White Station hospital the po
hit, no-run soldier flinger, is
scheduled to take the mound
against the Medford Craters at
the fairgrounds park this after
noon In the second game of the
round-robin playoff series for
the Medford-Camp White league
championship. The contest will
begin at 2:30.
Johnson, big righthander, who
blanked the WPRC without a
blow, 2 to 0, last Sunday in the

tempting to pitch his club to the
i title. If the Medics win today
they will clinch the pennant.
However, if the Craters suc
ceed in stopping the Hospital
men, -the championship will be
still undecided and hinge on
future play. If the Craters win
today and then beat the WPRC
next Wednesday night, they'll
win the toga. But, if they win
today and lose to the WPRC, the
playoffs will be all tied up, with I
each of the three clubs having I
won one and lost one. In that
case, the playoffs will have to be
contlnuiV. .
It was not known Saturday
who would start on the mound j
for the Craters. The hurling
choice lies among Dick Kidwell, :
Don Safford and Steve Crippen.
