Double In 9th Gets Walker Out of Jam With Officer By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.P.; I hope Harry (The Hat) Walker has bet ter luck as new manager of the St. Ltfuis Cardinals than he did running an automobile back in 1946. Henry was tagged "The Hat" because while at bat he used to thumb and. finger his cap be tween pitches to confuse the en emy on the mound. It got him a lot of free rides to first base, he always said. Anyhow, in 1946 I was in a tizzy trying to sign up Dizzy Dean, the old pitcher, to a con tract which called for me to play his ghost writer. Or Diz kept stalling- and ucrpamins that he didn't see no dollar sign, although it was there in fine print. Diz finally agreed to terms and we were getting ready to run out to his house to sign the works. Harry, then an outfielder for the cards, aressea and Diz, who had broadcast the game, came down. He waited while "The Hat" aisned a lot of autographs. It seems that that very day Harry haii honaht a new car. Also, on the way to the ball yard, some fan had presented him witn a .32 calibre target rifle. "Hold this. Nick." said "The Hat," handing me the weapon.

Administrator. t new bus and away we went. He hadn't gone too far when there was the awful sound of a police siren behind us. "Mr. Hat," said clown Dean, "Yawl went through two red lights." We pulled to the side and a burly cop came over. "You ain't got no plates on this car," he said. "Not only that you ran two red lights. And let s see your driver's license." Harry didn't have one. The of ficer was busy putting every thing in the book. "How about your registra tion?" Walker didn't have that, either. The officer said that this looked pretty bad, and most cer tain it did at the moment. And then old Diz had to open his chops again. "Ask that jerk in the back seat if he has a permit for that thar shootm' am." No Gun Parmit There I sat looking like a gangster or a sheriff, maybe. And of course I had no permit, and Walker didn't either. The officer was wearing out one pencil and reaching for an other. "By the way," he asked, look ing askance, "where have you guys been?" Dean started to butt in. "We all been " "The Hat" woke up and took over, firmly but politely. "We've been to Sportsman park, sir." "What were you over there for." From Dean: "There was a ball game over there." The cop turned to the man who now manages the Redbirds. "And you what were you doing there?" "I was playing a little ball, sir." "I .didn't get all of your name when I stopped you how was that again?" asked the cop. "Harry Walker, sir." "The Hat" had just won the game with a double in the ninth. The officer tore up the tickets. "Wasn't that a helluva game?" the cop said, and handed out three cigars a fine twist. MEDFORIWiWrRIBUNE Tuesday.

Johnson on Stand as Boxing Inquiry Reopens in Philly By JOHN GAUDIOSI United Press Sports Writer Philadelphia (U.R) Penn sylvania's boxing investigation, which already has led to the arrest of matchmaker Pete Mor an on a perjury charge, resumed today with light-heavyweight contender Harold Johnson on the stand to discuss his financ- Chiefs Tip Salem 13-7 By UNITED PRESS Wenatchee's Chiefs held a five game bulge over second-place Salem in the Northwest league today.

Leonard Gaines Favored To Defeat Augie Villa Richmond, Calif. (U.R) Leonard Gaines of Richmond is favored to defeat Augie Villa of De Coto, Calif., tonight when the pair clash in a 10-round light weight bout at the Richmond Auditorium. Gaines scored a fourth round knockout over Villa several months ago before losing a dis puted decision to Tony Dupas of New Orlenas and stopping Tom my Manois. Villa's most impressive victory to date is a decision over Art Ramponi. es. The 26-year-old Johnson, who keeled over in his corner in a bout against Julio Mederos on May 6 to prompt the inquiry, was in the witness chair last Thursday when the state athlet ic commission called a halt for the week end. Records Submitted Johnson's attorney, C. Wesley Allen, had submitted to the commission financial records of four of his bouts requested by the three-man boxing board. The bouts were not specified but the request indicated the commis sion still was aiming at uncov ering financial connections in the case despite running into a roadblock on this score against Moran. The investigation, now enter ing its fourth week, appears to be headed for a longer run than anticipated, and may go far be yond the questioning of Johnson, Moran and four other respond ents in the ring fiasco. Long Way To Go Commission Chairman James H. Crowley almost two weeks ago saw an early end to the in quiry But last week when Gar field W. Levy, Moran's coun sel, suggested that perhaps the hearings "are ended," he was cut short by Commissioner Al fred Klein. "They are not over by a long shot," Klein snapped. During the recess, police con tinued a separate investigation of the bout from the standpoint of how and by whom was John son drugged as reported by a commission doctor. Several box ing figures, including Frank (Blinky) Palermo, were quizzed by Inspector John Driscoll, ,but it was emphasized they had no connection with the case. "We just wanted to talk to them for background material," Driscoll said. Portland Releases Hurler Lee Anthony Portland (U.R) The Port land Beavers of the Pacific Coast league today announced the re lease of right-hand relief pitcher Lee Anthony. The move was made in order to get down to the minimum player requirement. Anthony had won two and lost one in re lief this season. Mile Marks Predicted by Slide Rule B7 SCOTT BAILLIE Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Drop the stop watches and get a slide rule, track bugs, because profes sor Franklin M. Henry already has seen two world records smashed after he predicted their fall with mathematical formulae. Henry, a professor of physical education at the Vniversity of California, learned from his equations last summer that a 3:58 mile was in the works and John Landy bore him out a little later on. Henry's figures also foresaw a new world mark of 28:54.2 in the 10,000 meters and Emil Zatopek obliged by hitting the time on the nose. New Predictions It's all done with graphs and logarithms. A gently descending curve which Henry evolved from a set of brainbusting fig ures now predicts the following: Another second will be clipped from Landy's world record 3:58 by 1960. Within 15 years the mile will be run in 3:56 and it will be down to 3:55 by 1975. Henry's charts also declare that the world will have a 3:50 miler by 1980. The graph reaches as far as the amazing time of 3:40 but this is a figure used only to close out the calculations. Henry calls it the "assymptote," which is a mathematician's term for an un attainable figure. Three Inch Equation Henry whose findings were published last month in a scien tific quarterly emphaizes that he sticks to mathematical for mulae alone and makes no spec ial study of individual runners. But the generally known pro cesses of the human body form a necessary part of the equation, which measures three inches long in small type. Henry usually sticks to doping the mile run because he has more complete records to work on. However, the formula can be applied to all foot races from 60 yards up to 26 miles, he says. "The formula 'is based on times recorded in the mile dur ing the past 50 years combined with what we have learned of the boy's physiological process,'" Henry explains. "Key factors there include the amount of blood sugar and oxygen depleted while a man is running." Devils Lake Not To Be Poisoned During This Year Portland (U.R) Devils lake on the north Lincoln county coast will not be poisoned this year after all. The State Game Commission last Saturday decided to elimi nate it from the list of lakes and reservoirs slated for rotenone treatment this year. The action was taken after a group of Delake residents ar- peared before the commission to protest the rehabilitation pro gram. Earlier, the commission had listed Devils lake, Lake of the Woods and Thompson reservoir as waters due for rotenone treat ment this year. The poisoning program is de signed to kill off the so-called "trash" fish and free the waters for trout. However, the delega tion from Delake said there were many fishermen in the area who preferred to fish; for bass, perch, catfish, etc. Catholic Schools Organize League New York (U.R) Six Cath olic colleges in New York and New Jersey whose major sport is basketball but who want to avoid "the growing overem phasis on athletics" have formed a new league to be known as the Middle Eastern College Athletic Association.
