Harry Grace, another local snowman and ex Klamath lumber salesman, no tified us indirectly on May 15 that he had finished training at Great Lakes naval station and was bound for a secret active duty destination. He postcarded this week from Brooklyn, which Is some destination.- But from there he'll be transferred to un disclosed waters.

He leaped. 25 feet 4M inches at Amsterdam to win for Uncle Sam. Now he's out to win again for the same guy ... A guy name of Lloyd F. Hahn popped up in a local divorce proceeding this week. Wonder if it could be the old middle-distance (tar of the mid-1920's who still holds the American 1000-meter mark? The complaint said he was married in College Point. Long Island. N.

' The navy recruiting office has reported that Bill; Hanauska, Pelican nurler . of last summer and Willamette university's ace chucker this spring, has enlist ed in the V-l classification which permits him to complete his college course and has left for a try-out with the Brooklyn Dodgers ... Here's where a guy's profes sion came in handy. John Mc- Cusker, veteran telegraph oper ator, recently worked a relay meet at Philadelphia's Franklin field. By the time he d finish ed sending his stories, every, living soul had filed out of the 70,000-capacity stadium and the gatekeeper had either thrown away the key or gone home. Trapped, crafty McCusker re opened his key end tapped out an S.O.S. to his main office. Officials were tipped off and came to his rescue ...

At the same time, however, his mates were tough. Then George Caster re lieved Niggeling after 12 frames, and he proved even tougher.

I needed a 3, 3 finish for a pos- sible victory. Although the fair way was narrow, I felt I could drive the green. There are woods on each side, a cross trap in front of the green and traps on each side. It is impossible to carry the ball that distance, but a perfectly placed drive with tremendous distance will reach the green. I hit the ball to within 15 feet of the hole, two-putted for a birdie and finished second.

Joseph Louis Barrow, but if he doesn't he'll quit the ring with a rare .distinction. Bettina will be tho only man the distinguished private ever re fused to fight. Tho ; Beacon Light gladly would trade this honor for a crack at tho ' crown, however, for In addition to professing to believe he has a chance, how could fie possibly make more money faster? ' ' 1 It's entirely the fault of Bot tina's parents, who neglected to turn him around as a child. Bettina is, you see, a left-hander. "And I don't fight southpaws," says Pvt. Joe Louis, emphatical ly. So Bob Pastor, Billy Conn, Lee Savold and possibly Tami Mauri ello have Louis all to them selves.

Manager Red Tolbcrt of the Lumberjacks stated SnUirduy morning that he would open with his ace hurlcr, Clydo Carl strom, on tha mound. Mean while Manager Ernio Bishop in timated that his young prep pitcher from Idaho, Leo Soran, probably will get the starting hill assignment for the Pelicans.

Bart Goldbar of, the 'Jacks and Dave Dixon of the locals, generally believed to be the two best catchers In southern Oregon and northern California, arc slated to work the two games for their respective teams. Both are excellent defensive receivers and both are dangerous hitters. Goldbar is a distance hitter, spe cializing in home runs while Dixon punched out mostly dou bles and singles in posting a .340 average for Valsctz, Ore., last season. Roy Bradford, big left-handed hitting baseballcr, formerly a semi-pro player In San Francisco, will get a starting outfield berth for the Pelicans according to Manager Bishop. He looked par ticularly Impressive in getting a pinch-single in last week s con' test against the Bend Loggers Co-manager Paul Bernadou and Mario Pisan are scheduled for the other two outer garden spots.

SOUTHPAWS MEETING WAVE AT EACH OTHER I suspect Louis would lnko Bettina bccitiRc In addition to be ing nblo to do that, Smoky Joe hiis tho quickest right hand thot ever swung from a big fellow's shoulder. Btjt Joe Louis is strictly In favor of letting southpaws fight among themselves. Ever seo two of them nt It? They look like a couple of blokes waving at each other. For, you see, when southpaws honk up, a pair of fighters arc doing things backward simultan eously. In addition to tho scarcity of southpaws, this Is another reason why they so seldom meet. No matchmaker makes It n point to hnve his customers buck out of or awajf from the arena. Belmont Runs Army-Navy Race Today NEW YORK, June 6 (!)
