"Hello Girls" Who was that?
Why none other than our old
friend and critic "Junior," now
of the armed forces. While home
on a furlough he dropped in at
the alleys Thursday night to see
what the girls were doing in
bowling.
The first thing he said was "I
have missed being with you on
Thursday nights, but glad 1 will
be home long enough to see the
City Tournament on May 6 and
7. I hope this war will be over
so I can be with you all next
season."
Junior, sitting in his usual
place beside the headpin, was
chased out of the pit by the con
sistent good bowling of Poppy
for high series of the evening,
scoring 205-177-190 to total 572,
tying Flo Ann Eaton for high
series of the season.
Lucile Norling rolled 144-157-
218 to total 519 for second and
Mary. Williams 176-168-164 to
total 508 for third place.
Lucille Norling bounced Jun
ior around for high single game
of 218. Isabel Milne 213 for sec
ond and Poppy 205 for third
place.
Before Junior was chased com
pletely out of the pit he saw Flo
Ann Eaton pick the 2-7 split.
Junior, a little shaky from
seeing such good bowling, came
out from behind the pit to say
Good night, Girls, see you at
the tournament."

Cardinal Pitcher
Suffers Minor Arm
Strain; Not Serious
CHICAGO, May 4 (VP) Man
ager Billy Southworth of the St.
Louis Cardinals was elated with
the news today that Mort Cooper,
his ace pitcher, is suffering only
from a minor arm strain and the
club's physician did not consider
the trouble serious.
"I thought possibly Mort
might have had a recurrence of
the trouble which necessitated an
elbow operation in 1941," South
worth said. . "It's still doubtful,
however. as to his ability to im
mediately take his turn on the
mound."

The 12-piece obstacle course
has been finished at the high
school and Joe Peak is putting
his physical education classes
through their paces. This is a
good thing for the boys as. it
develops them physically, and
prepares them for future mili
tary life.
The greatest thing that could
and should happen to this city
is the return of Junior Ameri
can Legion baseball. Kids
seventeen and under in the city
are begging for its return, and
only need the go-ahead signal
from the Legion itself to begin
play. The Legion meets Tues
day night and the baseball
question will be discussed at
that time.
A public golf course for
Klamath Falls would be a good
development to further sport
in the city. Seattle and Port
land have their public links on
which people can afford to
play, so why not have some
kind of public course here say
on the outskirts of town.
Physical education swim
classes will be held for two
more weeks and the last week
of school an intra-class meet
will be held.
The grade school Softball
game was called off last night
because of the 'field condition
and play will be resumed to
night. We find that Baldy Foster is
a three-sport man. He partici
pated in football, basketball
and track. But we don't know
if he is a baseball player. The
high school does not have the
sport. One thing certain is, if
there were more s p o r 1 1 he
would probably play them.

Player Shortages Make
Baseball Men Versatile
Phillies, With Small Roster, Do Most
Shifting; Infielders Play Outfield
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press 8porti Writer
The moat valuable player competition In the major leagues
this year could very well be styled the most versatile player
awards.
Wartime manpower shortages are causing managers to
transplant their players from one position to another fnstrr thitn
most people can get the onion sets started in their Victory
gardens.
The Phillies, with a pathetically small roster, are doing the
most shifting Of Jobs, mid doubling up at two or more positions.
Last week they brought Jim WudsolL from Pittsburgh and mode
his their regular first baseman,
moving Babe Duhlgrcn from
that spot to shortstop. They
have Schoolboy Rowe pinch
hitting In almost every gnme In
which he isn't pitching and
they frequently havo had llirec
or four players swap positions
during the cou'rse of a ball
game.
But one of the prize swaps
of tho season was mado yester
day by that Indefatigable in
ventor, Frank Edison Frlsch,
who Installed Catcher Al Lopcr
at third base for tho Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Lopez has been one of the
best backstops In tho National
league for many years, but his
previous experience at tho hot
corner was limited to about five
games In an emergency with
the Dodgers a decado ago. A
few fans still remember him
stopping balls with his chest, a
la Pepper Martin.
' By putting Lopez on third
Frisch was .able to glvo a try
at shortstop to Bob Elliott, who
only year before last was an
outfielder. The result of the
newest experiment was that
both Lopez and Elliott made an
error yesterday and Cincinnati
copped the major leagues' first
morning game 7-5.
Having inaugurated morning
games the Reds are now ready
to lift the lid on night baseball
for tho season, too, with a
floodlighted fray carded against
the Pirates tomorrow night.
Only one other game was
played In the majors yesterday
and In this the Dodgers downed
the Phillies again 5-3. Kirby
lllgbn made his second start
and first finish of the year
while holding tho tallenders to
seven hits. Brooklyn mado a
dozen, three by Dolph Camllli
and two, a doublo and triple
for two runs, by Alex Kam-pourla.

Athletic Director Frank Sum
mers suld today that football In
the smaller colleges of America
could survive the war by going
back to tho "old custom of doub
ling up playing each rival two
games In one season on tho homo,
and-home basis."
The Dean of Virginia collogo
couches declared that football
in the nation's "Utile schools"
can continue "In splto of curbed
transportation, limited material
and other handicaps if they
stick togother."
Summers said that the small
colleges have "more or less al
ways played for the fun and
sport of It," end added thot they
hove never been giontly depend
ent on goto rrcelpls for financing
their football programs.
"Teams next fnii undoubtedly
will bo Inferior In quality, but
we can keep them going never
theless," Summers asserted.
"Continuation of football In col
leges needs no Justification.
Statements from high-ranking
service officials and tho splendid
service records of our athletes
hove Justified It already,
"We will havo football at
Humpden-Sydncy as long as llu
school continues to operate."
One of the first sure signs of
summer Is "keep off the grass."
