Chicago, Aug. 15 (U.R)
The Sports' World paid final tri
bute today to American athletes
who gave their lives during
World War II.
A United Press survey, follow
ing Japan's surrender, showed
that more than 800 collegiate,
amateur and professional ath
letes were killed in service from
Pearl Harbor to this day, almost
four years. Many of their names
were household words before
they left America's playing fields
to play their greatest game on
world battle fields.

only a few.
Kinnick Death Tragedy
Kinnick's death was one of the
earliest tragedies for the honor
student and an ail-American
halfback at the University of
Iowa in 1939. The sturdy, fair
haired Omaha, Neb., youth had
come to represent all that col
legiata athletics stand for. Lead
er of Iowa's famed "ironmen,"
Kinnick was lost in the Carri
bean when his navy plane failed
to return to its carrier.
Stole Swastika
Zamperini, a great miler, was
a happy-go-lucky athlete who
snubbed the Nazis In 1938 at the
Olympics in Berlin' when he
climbed a flag pole at the Ger
man chancellory and stole a
swastika. He was killed in ac
tion in the South Pacific. Hitch
cock, famed 10-goal international
polo star, died in a P-51 plane
crash while Hunt, winner of the
National Amateur Tennis Singles
title in 1943 when he was 24.
crashed at sea in a navy plane
last February.
The death of Billy Southworth,
Jr., outstanding Minor League
baseball player and son of the
St. Louis Cardinals' manager,
focused national attention on a
fathei's grief. For Billy, senior,
was prouder of his soldier son
than he ever was of his champion
Cardinal teams.
A great individual sport star
was killed only five months ago
when Tokle, holder of 24 ski
records Including the North!
American jump mark of 289 feet,
met death with U. S. Ski Troops
in the Italy mountains.

Sparks flew at Monday night's
meeting of Medford Athletic
association, sponsors of Medford
Craters baseball team, when Bill
Askwith, manager Of the Central
Point Studs, Harry Tunn, mem
ber of the Central Point board
of directors and "Alabam" Har
ris, Stud second baseman, barg
ed into the business meeting and
challenged the Craters to a base
ball game next Sunday.
Askwith charged Central
Point has not received a fair
deal in their last two games
with Medford and wanted the
show-down battle to prove
once and for all that the Studs
can beat the Craters- The Cen
tral Point aggregation claimed
lhey have been "robbed" by
Medford officials and wanted
only a square deal to prove
they can whip the Craters
Paul Freer, Crater boss, told
Askwith his team couldn't beat
the Craters under any umpiring
conditions and pointed to Med
ford's 8-0 win gained early in
the season at Central Point when
Medford wasn't satisfied with
the umpiring job. One accusation
led to another, coupled with con
siderable name-calling, until the
meeting nearly broke up in a
tignt.
When the smoke of battle
had cleared away, it was
agreed that Medford and Cen
tral Point would meet at the
Fairgrounds Park next Sun
day with the winner to get 60
per cent of the net receipts.
40 per cent going to the loser.
It was also agreed that neither
team would import any play
ers for the contest. A 1:30 p.
m. preliminary game will fea
ture a Softball contest between
the Orphans and Girls Com
munity club, both members of
the girls city league.
Baseball fans were somewhat
disappointed last Sunday when
Gordon Howerton, property of
the Detroit Tigers, failed to show
up to play left field for the Cra
ters against Ashland. Howerton
found he would be unable to
appear and sent a message to
the Crater management to that
effect but the note was lost some
where along the way and did
not turn up until game time
Sunday.
