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.

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.

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.
The Chiefs took the Oregon
ians 13 to 7 in the first game of
the series at Wenatchee last
night with a 15-hit attack off
three Salem hurlers.
Wenatchee catcher Lloyd Jeh
ney drove in four runs with a
double and a single Jerry Zuv
ela and Herb Anderson of the
Chiefs each accounted for three
runs driven in.
Shortstop Bob Cerratto clout
ed two homers as Spokane
thumped Lewiston 18 to 4 at
Spokane. His first came in the
second with two runners aboard
while the other came in the
fourth with the bases empty.
Manager Cliff Dapper showed
the way at Eugene where the
Eugene Emeralds scored a 9 to
6 decision over Tri-City. Dap
per had three singles in three
trips. Tri-City came up with a
triple play in the third inning
and pushed across four runs in
a ninth-inning rally but never
quite could catch up with the
Emeralds.

Leonard Gaines of Richmond is

Villa's most impressive victory
to date is a decision over Art

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

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
