CHICAGO, April 15 (PP)
Norman Ross,, at the age of 47,
is going back to war as an in
structor in the army flight com
mand to join his two sons, both
headed for army aviation. His
dog, a Belgian shephard pooch,
already - is in the service. His
wife, above the age limit for
the WAACs, is storming because
she can't go, toe
So, within 48 hours, he three
males in the house of Ross will
be in the service of their coun
try, leaving mother and a 12-year-old
daughter behind. Donal,
18, is an air cadet stationed at
Lubbock, Tex. Morman Jr., 21,
is in training at Stanford uni
versity to become an aviator in
the artillery service.
Both youngsters previously
had learned to fly. Their dad,
owner of a plane, taught them.
Now remember Norman Ross?
Recollect a minute.
He was the original human
fish, first of the world's really
great modern swimmers. In the
period between 1917 and 1922,
Ross held almost all of the
world's aquatic records from a
quarter of a mile to a mile and
a half. At one time he held 17
national championships. He
smashed the quarter mile record
2 times. He reigned supreme
until another great swimmer,
Johnny Weissmueller, came
along in 1922.
Ross served in the first world
war as a pursuit pilot with Maj.
Gen. Jimmy Doolittle. In the
inter-allied games in Paris in
1919 Ross won the 100, 400, 880
and 1500 meters backstroke
events, swam a lap on the win
ning relay team and played on
the water polo team. Previously
on July 4, 1916, Ross won seven
medals, all in one afternoon,
while competing in a national
AAU meet at San Diego, Calif.
In 1927 Ross attempted to
win a 26-mile marathon from
Avalon, Santa Catalina island,
to Wilmington, Calif., promoted
by the late William Wrigley Jr.,
for a prize of $25,000. He lost
to a game young Canadian,
George Young, who rode a bro
ken down motorcycle all the
way, to .California to compete.

Franklin to
Hit Savold
Third Time
Fall Guy Question Leads
To Partisanship, Strange
Quotations by Principal)
By ARNOLD DERLITZKI
CHICAGO, April 15 UP) Lee
Savold and Lem Franklin, a cou
ple of heavyweights who are all
even in the matter of knocking
out each other, get together for
a third time tomorrow night in
a 10-round bout at the stadium.
Just who will be the fall guy
this time it was Savold four
years agond Franklin last Feb
ruary has led to considerable
partisanship among fans and
some strange quotations by the
principals.
Savold and Franklin each
speak confidently of victory
and by a knockout. Savold says
it will come earlier than did his
10-round victory in February.
Franklin shakes his head and
opines that even in losing the
Savold match, the bout did him
more good than harm since it
was the first time he had gone
10 rounds in two years. Most
of the Cleveland negro's win
ning fights have ended quickly.
As for the fans, they still re
member the bruising perform
ance of two months ago in which
Savold floored Franklin in the
final round after having been
down himself in the first round;
and they are showing surpris
ing willingness to pay for an
encore.
Young grabbed the $25,000.
Ross, finishing second, got noth
ing. Ross, powerful and strapping,
had to melt off 22 pounds in
eight days to make the 228
pounds for the aviation service.
He starts a six weeks officers
training course at Miami, Fla.,
next Saturday.
And he's tossing up a $25,000-
a-year radio newscasting job to
do his chores for uncle Sam.
His booming bass voice, heard
from Chicago stations for the
past 12 years, will be missing
from the airlanes for a while.
TODAY'S GUEST STAR
Warren Brown, Chicago Sun:
"The National Football league is
to have another meeting on June
19 at which time, I have no
doubt, everything will be clear
ed up. At that time we all may
even find out why there was a
meeting held in April."

TRAINING CAMP BRIEF?

MUNCIE, Ind. Prepared for
today's opening contest of a
five - game series with the
doughty Detroit jungle cats,
Manager Frankie Frisch of the
Pittsburgh Pirates announced
he plans to use Rip Sewell,
Hank Gornicki, Wally Hebert
and Johnny Lanning in turn
against the Chicago Cubs in the
league opening series next
week.
ST. LOUIS-i-The annual city
series, originally set for seven
games, has been cut to six, ap
parently, by the weather. For
the second consecutive day the
Browns and Cardinals failed to
get together . yesterday. The
Cards refused the Brownies'
suggestion of a double-header
next Sunday. Rookies George
Munger and Fred Sanford were
slated for mound duty for the
Cards and Browns, respective
ly, today.

Reds should have stayed in
Bloomington, where at least
they could warm up indoors.

Now Is the Time to Pick Your
Major League Pennant Winners
By JUDSON BAILEY
NEW YORK, April 15 (IP)
You may have one of those
plain, unadorned calendars
which simply shows that today
is Thursday, April 15, but we
have one on our desk which
shows that this is the time to
predict the pennant winners In
the major leagues.
Our opinion and $18.73 will
get you a small war bond, but
for what it is worth we give you
the Brooklyn Dodgers as the
probable 1943 champions of the
National league.
Most of the major league ex
perts are - backing the world
champion St. Louis Cardinals
and in deference to the observa
tions of our brothers in the Base
ball Writers association, we will
concede that this year will see
another close race.
The Cardinals have a good
ball club, but it is not the same
outfit that beat the New York
Yankees four straight in the last
world series. Gone are Terry
Moore, the great fielder, Enos
(Country) Slaughter, the great
hitter, and John Beazley, the
rookie pitcher who won 21
games in the regular season and
two in the world series.

Manager Casey Stengel fears
his pitchers are much too short
of work against professional ri
vals, so he plans to use two
pitchers a game, regardless of
their success, during the first
week of the regular season.
FRENCH LICK, Ind. The
Chicago Cub mound staff will
consist of nine pitchers for the
present, Manager Jimmy Wil
son indicated before leaving
for Chicago. Among newcom

Cub squad broke camp yester
day and the remainder will
follow today.

Tommy Bridges stakes his
chances of drawing the season's
opening pitching assignment
for the Detroit Tigers on his
showing against the Pittsburgh
Pirates today in an exhibition
game here.
season the Redblrds also will be
without Shortstop Martin (Slats)
Marion, because of an appendec
tomy, and Second Baseman Jim
my Brown. Brown, Howie Pol
let and Harry Walker are likely
to be called In the draft at an
early date.
The Dodgers wounds by the
war have been less vital. Out
fielder Pete Reiser and Short
stop Peewee Reese have entered
the service along with several
others, but Branch Rickey has
obtained experienced replace
ments. The team consists of vet
erans who are as nearly draft
proof as any ball players can be.
The exception is Pitcher Klrby
Higbe, married but childless.
The Dodgers have experience,
more power and an edge in the
infield as long as the Cards are
without Marion and Brown. St'.'
Louis has youth, speed and the
possibility of better pitching.

Pelicans to
Run Relays
At Medford
Meet Seen at Barometer
For State Track Results;
Bocchi to Run Tomorrow
A squad of 22 Pelican track
stors will pound the cinders to
morrow on Mcdford's lost track
in an effort to avenge the roluy
curnival defeat by 6 points, of a
week ago at the hands of last
years state champions, Medford,
in a close race.
The results of this meet will
be a very good barometer of
what these two top ranking
teams might bo able to place in
the State Track and Field meet
on May 7. .
In the 100 yard dash, Ralph
Foster, who has attained his
best running form in two years,
will match his speed with Stevo
Dipple of Medford, last years
state century winner. In the
220 yard dash Vaillancour and
Mocabce wilt give the same man
all he can handle.
In the shot, discus and javelin,
Bocchi, Conroy, Sllva, Patzke,
Hunter, Tindall, Foster and Yank
are expected to garner points.
Bocchi is capable of tossing the
discus past the stato mark of 138
feet 4 inches, and has done so
several times this season. The
state record in this event is still
held by Marion Rcginato, Klam
ath athlete of three seasons ago.
In the high Jump, it Is ex
pected that Bocchi will bo able
perhaps to lead the pace, as ho
is rapidly Hearing last years
state performance of 6 feet.
Peterstelner and Bigger and Fos
ter will give him a great deal of
support.
Young and Sllva will carry the
brunt of work in both hurdles
and are expected to hold up
their end of the struggle.
In the mile and half mile runs.
Cada, Volger, Tindall, Foulon
and Dawson will try for places.
Dawson is a new man and lacks
the polish of a finished distance
man, but can turn In a mile un
der five minutes. Cada and Fou
lon are potential point winners..
Extensive baton-passing prac
tice has been a part of each
nights workout this week for
Mocabce; Davis, Foster-and Vail
lancour who will run Klamath's
leg of the 880 relay.
Valley fans and coaches have
asked for a repitition of the mile
relay which was won last week
in the fast time of 3:43:6, by
Young, Silva, Hcnthorne and
Persing of KUHS. This event
is an exhibition run and points
will not be counted for it.
Interest in this meet runs high
and competition amongst the
boys is keener than usual due
to the new state ruling that a
boy must win first place In the
district meet to represent his
school In the state meet.
Some good marks and per
formances are expected, in the
high jump, discus, broad jump,
mile, polevault, 440 and half
mile.
Ralph Foster and Dick Vail
lancour are co-captains of the
track team this year, being
chosen by popular ballot of their
teammates. Both are seniors,
and have conmpeted for lour
years.
