NEW YORK, June 7 W The
other day Col. Dick Hanley of
the marines, former big time col
lege coach, told the Washington
Touchdown club that the only
good reason for football is that
it helps entertain the boys over
seas. ... If football coaches want
to do a real service, said Dick,
they can take the kids who never
have played football and tough
er 'em up. Fellows who have
played the game don't need that
extra training. Of course, you
might argue, that's just what
they do. If there wasn't any foot
ball there wouldn't be that group
which is ahead of the rest in
physical condition. Even though
the footballers represent less
than one per cent of the men in
the armed forces.
bUOTE. UNQUOTE
Also from Hanley: "Those
kids overseas gobble up what
pews they can get about sports
and short wave broadcasts of
games entertain them. That's
football's biggest service in time
of war.

Swedish Runner Objects to
Gotham as Training Ground
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK. June 7 W It
took only a 15-minute ride from
the LaGuardia airport to a mid
town hotel to convince Gunder
Haegg that New York City isn't
a place for a Swedish country
boy to get in shape for a series
of foot races.
"The heat is oppressive and
will be my trouble here," he
panted through an interpreter
after asking Lars Ekelund, New
York paper mogul and his chief
adviser while in the United
States, to find him a training
site with "fewer buildings, fewer
people and less heat." ,
Dartmouth's tree studded cam
pus, Princeton, Bear mountain
and several Long Island resorts
are under consideration although
the holder of seven world rec
ords at distances from 1500 to
5000 meters has another work
out scheduled for Columbia uni
versity's Baker field late today.
Haegg arrived at New Orleans
Saturday after an ocean voyage
on a safe conduct tanker that
left his native Sweden on May
10. Although he had the bene
fit of a (special 400-yard steel
track aboard ship, the Gacvle
fireman gained nine pounds on
the journey.
Although he said he was far
out of condition and needed at
least seven weeks of training,
Haegg said he would compete in
at least one race in the national
AAU championships at Randalls
island June 19 and 20.
"I will be a sportsman," he
answered by the translation of
Sven Dahlman, first secretary
of the Swedish legation in Wash
ington, "and I have been told
that American track fans are
sportsmen and will understand."
Previously he had been quot
ed as-saying he would not be in
shape for any competition until
July 1, at the earliest.
Although he would not be def
inite, Haegg indicated he would
oppose Greg Rice in the 5000
meters at the nationals and pass
up the 1500 meter duel with Gil
Dodds, although the visitor later
classified himself as a miler in
preference to the longer races.
He showed further disdain for

LESS DRIVING
MORE SERVICE?
In many cases, the effect of wartime conditions on car
driving is a considerable reduction in the distance a Car
travels every month.
And the strange effect of this is that it can happen that less
driving may create a need for more service.
Official sources have said that any car which travels less
than 90 miles a month does not get enough ''exercise"
to keep in good "trim," While this low mileage may not
always prevail here, the same kind of logic calls for a
recasting of ideas about servicing.
That's why it is a smart move to go into the details of
possible special servicing requirements resulting from
wartime driving. A good car dealer is always glad to talk
over problems concerned with car care and driving
habits, and is always glad to give helpful advice.
If the way you use your car now is changed to any extent
from peacetime habits, it may have made necessary a oew
slant on the attention you give it It pays to know about
such possibilities and make sure your car is getting the
proper attention whether it results in more service or less.

Dodgers Out
Of 1st Spot
In National
Shortstop Trouble Worrios
Brooklyn; Redbirds
Top Senior Circuit
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Brooklyn Dodgers are out
of first place and in a dither.
The curious club whldi led tho
National league from the start
of the season until last week-end,
when It slipped into the shadow
of the St. Louis Cardinals, is af
flicted with a malady known as
acute sensitivity of tho shortstop.
This has been a sore spot all
the while the Dodgers have been
stumbling through the west
Manager Leo Durochcr, once one
of the flashiest fielders of them
all, has remained on the active
list this season presumably just
to step into situations such as
this, yet for reasons best known
to himself he has not played a
single game this season.
In recent days he has shuffled
Arky Vaughan, Rookie Boyd
Bartlcy and ' Reserve Catcher
Bob Bragan in and out of the job
with no credit to anyone. Yes
terday the Dodgers managed to
beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in the
first game of a doublchcadcr, but
were shellacked ll-s in tnc
nightcap and misadventures by
Bartley and Bragan, sharing the
shortstop role, set up situations
which enabled the Cubs to score
eight of their 1 1 runs. They clus
tered five tallies in the fourth
inning and four in the sixth.
Meanwhile weather limited
the Cardinal's game with the
Phillies to tivo innings and a 1-1
tie. Their second game was post
poned, leaving the Redbirds
high, if not dry, and half a game
on top of tho senior circuit.
Weather also forced postpone
ment of the Boston Braves' sec
ond game at Cincinnati, but the
two teams got in a 14-inning
opener which tho Reds finally
won 4-3 on Eddie Miller's single
with the bases loaded. Elmer
Riddle, going the route, allowed
no Boston runs after the first
inning.
In the other National league
action Pittsburgh made 25 runs
to the New York Giants' one In
sweeping a doublcheadcr, 18-1
and 7-0. Bob Klinger pitched
five-hit ball behind the Bucco's
18-hit barrage in the first game
and Jack Hallctt followed with
a four-hit shutout.
The New York Yankees pre
served their margin In front of
the American league with a pair
of victories over the St. Louis
Browns, 2-1 in 11 Innings and
10-6. The first game, which was
St. Louis's seventh overtime tus
sle in eight contests, was a duel
between Pitchers At Holllngs
worth and Atlcy Donald and was
decided on three singles in the
eleventh. Two home runs by
John Lindell and one by Nick
Etten. who together drove in
eight runs, easily took the night
cap.
