Jimmy Fleweger, the Lawrence
college kid who was picked as
the outstanding performer in
the central collegiate track
meet, set out to become a track
star after watching Jesse Owens
set two world records and tie
another in the 1936 CCC meet
. . . Now he averages about 12
points a meet against strong
competition in the sprints, hur
dles, jumps and discus and jave
lin and he's thinking about en
tering the national decathlon
championship if the navy does
not get him first.
ONE WEAKNESS
Jack Sell of the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette relates this conver
sation between two horsemen
at Wheeling Downs who were
discussing a friend: "He's a
smart operator," said No. 1.
"He has an uncanny knack of
picking the right spots for his
horses and he cleans up more
than his s h a r e of the prize
money."
"He knows how to bet, too,"
No. 2 added: "He gets fifty or
a hundred down just when the
price is juicy."
"Of course, there is one lit
tle trouble with him," No. 1 ad
mitted. "He's always broke."

Baseball has three big week
ends this season Memorial
Day, Independence Day and La
bor Day and the first of
these has given the Major lea
gues something to shout about,
if they have any breath left
In three topsy-turvy days com
prising the extended observance
of Memorial Day in the big lea
gues 39 games were played for
the entertainment of 371,713 pay
ing customers.
When the whole bewildering
business was over the standings
of both leagues had been scram
bled but the New York Yank
ees were on top in the American
and the Brooklyn Dodgers still in
front in the National.
The Dodgers preserved their
slender margin at the head of the
senior circuit by dividing a dou
bleheader at St. Louis before
25,664 fans, the largest crowd in
the National league yesterday.
They were shut out 7-0 in the
first game as Mort Cooper pitch

Tough Schedule Outlined
For 1943 Pelican Gridders
By VIRGIL GROSS
Plans for one of the. finest
football schedules in the history
of Klamath Union high school
are nearly complete. Eight games
have already been contracted
and a ninth game will be sched
uled. KUHS will abide by every
war emergency regulation and
will do all required to fit into
the war effort and still play a
full schedule. Almost all of the
larger schools in the state, are
planning schedules as near nor
mal as possible. .-!
Coach Frank Ramsey of the
State Champion Pelicans of last
year isn't going to crawl into his
hole and rest on the past. Grad
uation hit his squad a terrific
blow. Gone are 16 men from
the group of 38 letterraen, in
cluding eight regulars, five sec
ond string men, and three third
string men. He also stands to
lose at least two more through
draft calls.
With this to go by In gauging
team strength in 1943 the fol
lowing schedule should prove in
teresting: September 17 open date.
KUHS usually has a Portland
school on this date but due to -a
ruling by their board of educa
tion the schools are not allowed
to travel for the duration and
unless the ruling is relaxed there
will be no game. Several other
schools have been contacted to
fill that date, and KUHS. is. as
sured of a good opening game.
September 24 Marshfield.
There is some debate as to
whether it will be here or there.
October 1 Salem, here,
Should prove a tough game.
October 8 Ashland,; here.
This should be Ashland's' year,
according to all reports.
October 15 Medford, here.
The game of the year as usual.
October 22 Eugene, there.

KUHS's squad losses will be

Phil Blohm, a fine football
player, is now at OSC and doing
fine. Phil was steady, depend
able, and a fine moral influence
on the 1942 squad He called
the defensive signals and always
did a fine job.
Guards .'Marvin Watson,. Al
Barker, Al Cline and Rollin Tu
tor were all fine players and
their losses will be felt; however
replacements are ' strong here,
with one regular and several sub
stitutes' returning.
Tackle lost was Floyd Hun-

He was an exceptional . blocker
and . a great end defensively.
Keith Coddington was the most
underrated man on the squad.
though a fine end in every re
spect. s
The backfield was very hard
hit. KUHS lost four regular
backs of last year. For a well
balanced group the backfield of
Selby, Foster, Vaillancour, and
Mast, were as fine a high- school
backfield a coach could ask for.
Selby and Vaillancour were
steady, excellent blockers. They
were fast and, at all times, a
constant threat to opponents. ' -It
will be a long time before
Modoc field sees another back
of the Ralph Foster type. Ralph
was truly a great back with a
marvelous sense of balance and
an excellent change of pace.
Ralph will be very hard to re
place. Probably the finest football
player on the squad was Don
Mast Don is a college team
prospect in football and boxing.
He called signals and was a fine
leader. His loss .will be very
keenly felt and, if he can be re
placed by a player of equal cali

proved. Don was selected by
his teammates as "honorary cap
tain" and ."most valuable play
er." Gordon McKay, reserve full
back, was also lost. McKay play
ed some fine ball and will be
greatly missed.. .
Taking everything into consid

a fair team in 1943, and a full
schedule.

Monday's Battles; Seals
Drop Two to Rainiers
By The Associated Prats
; The Pacific Coast league
swings into the seventh, week of
the baseball season today, with
pace-setting Los Angeles nursing
a 71 game lead over second place
San Francisco although the An
gels faltered last week to drop
their first series out of six to a
second division club.
Portland, ranked sixth, had
the satisfaction of stopping the
Angels in five games out of nine.
The Beavers had been blanked
in a seven game meeting with
Manager Bill Sweeney's men in
early May. But the Angels had
a lucky break in drawing Sacra
mento for their new series. The
Solons have been able to win
only 15 games while dropping 27
thus far a record which has left
them tied with Seattle for cellar
honors.
In yesterday's twin bill, the
Beavers manfully clipped three
Los Angeles pitchers for 13 hits
to win the first game, 7 to 6. Los
Angeles came back with three
runs in the first frame of the
seven inning nightcap to eke out
a 3 to 2 win.
San Francisco dropped the
first game to Seattle yesterday
7 to 5 and were working hard to
retrieve the second when the
game was called in the tenth by
time limit agreement with the
score knotted at two runs. The
second game was another disap
pointment to Sam Gibson of the
Seals who pitched seven innings
of flawless ball only to have it
nullified. Sad Sam pitched 17
innings against Portland recent
ly only to have credit go to re
lief pitcher Win Ballou who took
over in the 18th.
Oakland took two games from
Sacramento, 7-4 and 10-0 to win
the rubber game of a series of
seven. The short nightcap saw
Henry "Cotton". Plppen at his
best in a no-hit, no-run perform
ance. Not a solon hit first base.
The Oaks open a home series to
day with Portland.
Hollywood was another double
loser yesterday, dropping the
first game to San Diego 4 to 2,
and the second 6 to 2. It gave
the Padres six of the nine game
series. '

NEW YORK, Juno 1 (P) -
A couple of prospective sluggers
for Uncle Sam Vernon Steph
ens of the St. Louis Browns
and Ellsworth (Babe) Dahlgren
of the Phillies are giving the
Major leagues something to re
member them by.
Stephens left the Browns yes
terday in the middle of the sec
ond game of a doublchcader at
Boston to go to Long Beach,
Calif., for his induction exam
If he passes he will have played
his last game of the season, but
his .376 batting average is not
likely to be forgotten soon. Oris
Hockett of Cleveland is In sec
ond place with .330.
Dahlgren is a newcomer to the
top spot in the National lengue
with a .368 average. He was no
tified a few days ago that he
had passed his preliminary phy
sical test and would be eligible
for induction in the next quota
of his Philadelphia draft board,
probably in July.
Dahlgren boosted his batting
average 27 points in a week and
jumped from fourth place to
first. Billy Herman of Brooklyn,
the leader a week ago, slipped to
third with .338 back of Stan
Musial of the Cardinals, who has
a .345 mark.

Crosby Nags Not So Slow;
. "Galloping Gaucho" From
Argentina Win $27,600
By SID FEDER
NEW YORK, Juno 1 (I1) It
looks like Bing Crosby will liuvo
to concentrate his gngs on his
all-boy chorus of four sons at
home from now on, because ho
can't kid around any more about
his running horses who can't
run. '
Thoso bewhiskercd wise-cracks
concerning Crosby goo-gees with
the "slows" wore wiped off tho
books yesterday by the "gallop
ing Gaucho" from the Argentine,
Don Bingo. The Gaucho Is a
horse the crooner and his Cali
fornia partner, Lin Howard,
didn't even know they wore
buying when they spent $2500
for his mammy four years ago.
But he paid off yesterday by
bouncing in with the 57th run-
ning of the Suburban Handicap
and picking up an easy $27,600
at Belmont in tho biggest betting
day inxacing history.
It was so big, In fact, that tho
mythical three million - dollar
day, which up to now has been
considered in the samo "lenguo"
as a "T" card for a motorbike,
figures to be just around the
corner like the four-mtnuto mile.
The 47,083 cash contributors
who turned out for Belmont's
war relief day set world betting
records of $206,094 on a steeple
chase raco and $122,736 on a
dally double on the way to post
ing a new all-tlmo high of $2,
690,153 for mutucl wagering in
one day at one track.
And except for three races
with "short" fields one with
four horses one with five and
one with six which- naturally
kept down the belting, the long
predicted $3,000,000 day might
have been reached.
Another mark posted was the
one for feeding the iron men in
a single race in New York state.
Tho folks did that with a total of
$472,261 in tho Surburbnn, and
not too much of it was on Don
Bingo, who returned tho fancy
figure of $26.40 for each of the
customers who Invested his deuce
the right way and saw tho four
year old South American stepper
hit the pay-line three lengths In
front of Lou Tufnno's Market
wise, who was disqualified, in
cidentally, and placed lost.
