My mi Nation's Top Birlers Vie for 'White Water1 Title on Fourth By GEORGE A. BTAUTER GLADSTONE, Mich., July 1 (Wide World). The nation's crack birlers will compete here July 3-4-5 for the world's log rolling championship and the picturesque title of "King of the White Waters." Three 13-foot white pine logs 14, IS and 18 inches in di ameter are used in the tourna ment. Each log is marked at the center by a white line to divide the territory of the two opponents. By rapid treading,. sudden snubbing or by some truck, a birler tries to catch his opponent off balance and pitch him into the water. Just when the sport began is unknown. In the early days, when pio neers pushed back forest fron tiers, colorfully-clad lumberjacks learned to ride unruly torrents of log! in spring drives dewn rivers to the sawmills.- Dressed In heavy flannels and bright mackinaws, their feet en cased in high-topped calked boots, they would leap, peavies in hand, from log to log, pushing, pulling and prying to keep the timbers from forming jams. Men wore maimed and lives Tintype you like?' head was down. I took a full pivot and hit through the ball hard so as to carry out of the rough. The average golfer tries to lift the ball with the club instead of hitting down and through and letting the club do the work. Tigers Hang On to Tiny WIL Margin By The Associated Press The Tacoma Tigers retained their narrow five-point lead on Western International Baseball league standings last night with a 2-1 victory over the Spokane Indians while the recently de posed Vancouver Capilanos were trouncing Salem, 8-5. . ' The Tigers took advantage of the Indians' only error in the series opener at Spokane to score a single run in the first inning when right-fielder Bob Daley allowed a roller to get away from him and then added the clincher in the fourth frame. At Vancouver, Salem piled up a four run lead in the first three innings but gave it away when the Caps scored five times in their half of the third. The Capilanos scored the winning run in the fourth and added two more in the seventh.

In 1898, at the Lumbermen's Exposition In Omaha, Nebr., the first world's log-rolling cham pionship was staged. Tom Flem ing, Eau Claire, Wis., river driver, whirled and cuffed a spinning log to victory over Al Stewart, a fellow townsman. Tournaments were held in Ashland, Wis., in 1900-01-02 but thereafter log-rolling went into one of its periodic declines. World War I caused another discontinuance of the sport. When it was resumed in 1924 at Eau Claire, big Joe Mad wayosh, a strapping Objibway Sioux Indian, planer in a Clo quet mill,' became "king" and repeated in 1925. ' The depression forced another abandonment of the annual tournament. .

Maybe Sockeye Jack McBon aid, the Scottish grappler, knew Thomas Cariyle, the Scottish es sayist, better, for it was he who freed himself from the imbroglio by pinning Irish Jim Casey with an arm bar in the closing min utes of the hour-long battle, then held until the bell to win Ref eree Earl Yoaklcy's nod as the night s principal winner. The entire evening's business consumed two and one-half swel tering hours before a sumrisinc- ly well-filled steaming house of grapple bues. Earlier Pedro Brazil had hammerlocked Broc coli Bob Kruse into a sweat of pain and surrender and then, substituting for George Craig, the habitually missing Mcdford blacksmith, had lost to Prince Mihalakis on a Boston crab. After the first pair of matches it appeared the working press was going to get a break and the soft-drink hawkers a kick in the teeth by all hands retiring early. ' But McDonald and Casey, in their long drawers, saw to that. Early in the final bout McDon ald hoisted the tapcr-torsoed Ca sey to his shoulders and spun him with a whirler stolen direct ly from the book of Cowboy Dude Chick. But the follow through backfired when the black Irishman refused to keep his wings on the canvas and in stead locked the ex-logger in a scissors headlock which was to endure for a full five minutes. Midway in the grueling tussle, McDonald fell heavily from a corner rope tangle and injured his back so seemingly seriously that the soft drink laddies re tired in anticipation of the end It was a sorry move for Sockeye, rested by a 19-count respite out of bounds came back and carried on. It was too bad the cold drink- merchants did not, for the thing wont on an other full half-hour. Ultimately McDonald jumped on Casey's right hand, then his chest for the first and what was to be the only fall. The balance, a five-minute frame of indeter minate grappling was anti-climax. Brazil's opening victory over Kruse, the Oswego, Ore., farm boy, came via a punishing series of hammerlocks which eventual ly forced Kruse to give up in the third round. The second fall came immediately in the open ing of the fourth as Brazil ap plied another hammer. But the Brazilian, groggy, wasn't a complete wrestler when he faced Mihalakis in the seml windup. In relatively short or der, the Arabian caught a Bos ton crab for the one-fall decision. Promoter Mack Lillard an nounced that next Tuesday will again be ladies' night. He said that either the Swedish or French Angel will be a feature of the July 14 card. aba, Mich., Joseph Conor, a University of Minnesota forestry student, won the title. He never had swung an axe or driven logs. Jimmy Jerron, of Kelso, Wash., a boom man and movie log-roller defeated a follow townsman, Henry Foster, for tho title in 1938 at Escanaba. Hcr ron won the crown again in 1940 and here in 1941. Even the women now have their day in the contests. Mary Jean Malot of Cornell, Wis., who won the championship last ycor while studying at Anderson col lege, Indiana, for religious work, will be back to compete with Arbutus Wilson of Ladysmlth, Wis., Betty Berkley of Longview, Wash., and Genevieve Gauthicr of Kelso, Wash, But it looks as though birllng will suffer another discontinu ance, for with the nation at war, lumberiacks arn nppf(d more than ever In timber regions.

By The Associated Press Bosehlts were common last night at San Francisco where the Seals pounded Portland Hurlcrs Lee Stine and Ad Liska for 13 hits and a 13 to 7 victory In Paci fic Coast loague baseball. Kcrmit Lewis, San Francisco outfielder, clouted a three-run homer to put his teammates ahead In the first inning of a wild game. Bill Joyce, Seal twlrlcr, was unsteady early In the game and he gave the Beavers three runs in the second, three more in the third, and one tally in the fourth on seven hits and a walk. He finished the game with a record of nine hits. Lewis, who led the batting with three hits in five times at bat, appeared to bo out of the game in the fourth inning when he crashed Into Lorry Barton at first base and knocked himself out. He revived and finished the game, however. Sacramento increased Its lead in the standings to three games by reason of a 3 to 4 decision over Oakland and San Diego's triumph over the second-position Angels. Blix Donnelly, aco Solon hurl- er, won the game by singling with two on in the nines after he had rcliovcd Kemp Wicker in the lost frame. Jack Salvoson and John Yelo- vlc, who was charged with the defeat, yielded nine hits. The team batting average ot the Los Angeles Angels Is slight ly lower today and Wally He bert, San Diego pitcher, Is re sponsible for the drop. Hebert held Angel Stickmcn, tho most powerful in the league, to five scattered binglcs when the Padres blanked the Angels, 3 to 0.
