See HUNT'S SIGN SHOP TRUCKS BULLETINS WINDOW 205 W. 8th St. Ph. 7312 New York, July 11 (U.R) For whatever use posterity wants to make of it, Manager Luke Sewoll of the Browns of fered his "pitcher an inning" de vice today for winning ball games, Scwell Isn't so sure the idea would be practical in the long run and that is why he is mak ing the broadminded offer. But it clicked perfectly last night as he sent a parade of nine differ ent pitchers to the mound, each of whom worked an inning in a 3 to 0 war charities victory over the Cardinals. Milt Byrnes hit a first Inning homer off Charley (Red) Barrett Soft-WITH PRACTICAL STRENGTH and one-armed Pete Gray hit a third inning triple. r ' Sheppard Gets Thrill At Washington, the thrill of a lifetime came to one-legged Bert Sheppard, the army air forces veteran, who pitched in a big league exhibition and got credit for winning It, beating the Brooklyn Dodgers, 4 to 3. Shep pard, batting practice pitcher for the Senators, pitched three scoreless innings and ' yielded two runs in the fourth before Roger Wolff and Marino Pieretti relieved him. He gave up only five hits. Leroy Pfund, Dodger pitcher, dislocated his knee. Ferris Wins The Red Sox topped the Braves, 8 to 1 at Boston. Dave Ferriss, rookie sensation, pitched the first three innings to become the winning pitcher. However, he decided at the last minute not to go through with his stunt of pitching one inning left-handed. At Philadelphia, the Phillies counted twice in the ninth to beat the Athletics, 7 to 6. Jimmy Foxx, making his Major league debut as a pitcher for the Phils, was knocked out of the box in the fifth. Yesterday's victories gave the American league a record of five triumphs in . the seven games played. Fritzie Zivic Vows End of Long Boxing Trail Now At Hand Pittsburgh, July 11 (U.R) Former World Welterweight Champion Fritzie Zivic, beaten by Ossie (Bulldog) Harris last night, said he was through with boxing. "I'm through fighting and this time I mean it," said Zivic who fought his 200th professional fight in his 14-y ear-ring career. "This defeat has convinced me I'm through." Home on a 30-day furlough, Fritzie revealed he had previ ously signed for a bout with Wild Bill McDowell at New Or leans next Monday night and will go through with it if Pro moter Lew Raymonds insists. mm uu:im MAKE SUCCESSFUL At All Dealers SOFTBALL DEBUT The 752nd MP Battalion of Camp White made their debut in the city Softball league a suc cess last night when they pound ed out a 14 to 6 victory over Litt rell Parts at the high school field. The loss knocked Littrell Parts out of a tie for first place and moved the police out of the cellar. Littrell's scored four runs off four hits in the fourth inning but nine errors, one by Simmons in center field which allowed Hanson to score a home run with the bases loaded, was too much for the parts men to overcome. Silver Dollar Grill moved into a tie for second place when they eked out a 5 to 4 decision over Ordnance Shop in the other half of the double header. George Gitzen hit a home run in the fifth with the sacks occupied and scored the winning run in the last inning. Tommy White, who spent con siderable time in a German pris on camp and. recently returned to the United States, played cen- terf ield for the Grillmen.

July 11 (U.R) Little Gene Sarazen in one final sentimental fling at big-time golf, today went out to stop the record winning streak of Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., in the open ing round of match play in the 27th National P.G.A. tourna ment. Sarazen was just as confident as when he won the first of his three P.G.A. titles In 1922. He was then a brash kid of 20 from the sidewalks of New York. Test For Saraten A gruelling test lies ahead of Sarazen. Those stocky, slightly bowed legs must travt. 36 holes today and match strides with one of the greatest golfing ma chines in the history of the game. Six former champions tee off today in the 16 matches which open the 36-hole match play, counting Sarazen, Revolta and Nelson, who won the 1940 title of this revered golfing classic.

The Union Pacific locomo tive pictured above is known as a "4-8-8-4" ; ; . . two pairs of small wheels in front, then four pairs of driving wheels followed by a simi lar unit, and two pairs of smaller wheels in the rear not including the tender. The'"4-8-8-4" type is Union Pacific's largest and heaviest steam locomotive; informally christened "Big Boy" by the men who built it. This giant of the rails is 132 feet in length and weighs approximately 600 tons. Water capacity ' ji is 25,000 gallons; fuel 28 tons. A fleet of 25 "Big Boys" is now in Union Pacific service. Built primarily to haul heavy freight loads on western mountain grades, they have proved invaluable in transporting tremendous quantities of war materials over the Strategic Mid dle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast. The "Big Boy" is a typical example of Ameri can industrial skill and labor; sparked by the spirit of individual enterprise; 4he spirit that 65,000 Union Pacific employes are working and fighting to keep alive, to build a bright future for your America.

All players on the Med ford trip had been overseas at least two years. George Barr, who was walked out of the box against the Ma rines, has an air-tight alibi. It was the first time he had ever thrown a ball to Catcher Paul Freer. Freer tried to shift regu lar receiver George Gitzen to the outfield and put himself in as catcher in an effort to get more power into the batting lineup but the scheme didn't work. , Sport Chips: Hiring of Rob ert "Matty" Matthews by Lewis and Clark College at Portland doesn't mean that Don Faber of Central Point it out.
