Spor4sN Briefs Si?:.': n NEW YORK, June 10 W) A render'! query about the base ball hall of fume recently led Clyde McUrldo of the Kansas City Star to suggest thnt a lot of the old-time bnll players hadn't received their Just des serts In the balloting for the honor roll at Cooperstown bo cmuc the old-time baseball writers weren't around to tell of their feats. . . . "If Chndbourne, 1'helon, Biiliier, Sam Crane and others could come back, wrote MeBrlde, "you would soon be knowing about early sturs who : plnyed the name with all the dar- ing and stamina and skill of the modern stars, a different game perhaps, but nevertheless base ball." . . . Well, there's one who doesn't hove to come back, Hugh Fullerton, senior. He doesn't rnte himself as an old-timer yet, but he used to pat around with those guys "and he can tell you plenty about the stars of the nineties and even before. MATTER OF OPINION The real "old timers" swore by such players as Jere Denny and Fred Pfcfcr, star Inflelders of the 80s, and Mlko "King" Kelly, colorful catcher who in his day probably was as famous as Bnbe Ruth. . . . Pop doesn't agree on these choices, nor does he agree entirely with the most recent baseball writer' ballot on which Frank Chance, Rube Wad dell, Ed Walsh, Miller Hugglns and Ed Delehanty came the clos est of those who failed election. . , .. Most of them will get pla ques in the hall some day, he says, but some of the best play ers have been neglected or for gotten entirely. REMEMBER THESE FELLOWS? There was big Bill Lange, (or Instance, another player whose famo could be compared to Ruth's. . . . There were some great pitchers an unusual num ber of them. In fact who have received few votes or none at all. Mordccal Brown and Addle Joss have had some backing, but how about Bill Dlnnecn, better known as an timpiro, Tom "Toad" Rnmscy or "Willie Bill" Hutch inson? , . . And did you ever hear of Charley Bennett, who caught for Detroit and Boston and led the league nine times . I sTY TTk 13TlT7" I UltUUJLV Our liilllarl rt In lha rtdutllAB t Icfthal fr Ml purpoial.

From early August till the end of the season tho Rcdblrds played IB games which were decided by one run and they won 14 of them. The Cardinals still are playing their games tight and they still are winning most of them, al though naturally enough their mark this spring doesn't com pare with last autumn. Close Ones Discounting a pair of tie games, tho Cardinals have had 24 of their 41 contests this sea son settled by one run and they have triumphed In 14 of tho 24. They had another one of these close, contests yesterday, the day's only fracas In tho National league, and they captured it in the manner to which they have become accustomed, 4-3 over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mort Cooper and Rip Sewoll, two of the league's leading pitch. era, were paired on the mound and came up to the ninth inning with the score tied 3-3. Then the Cards' speed got them the vital run. Whltey Kurowski, playing for the first lime since he hurt an eye on May 28, stretched a hard drive into a double to open the Inning. Martin Marion was giv en on International walk. Cooper sacrificed, Lou Klein lifted a fly to leftficld and Kurowski raced home after tho catch. Total for the inning one hit, one run. Kurowski also collected a tri ple and a single to score two of St. Louis' other three runs to help Cooper gain his seventh victory against three defeats. This gave the Cards a half gamo margin over the second place Dodgers, who were kept idle by weather conditions. Yanks Idle In the American league the first place New York Yankees also were idle, but the Washing ton Senators lost ground never theless by dropping a 3-2 deci sion to the Boston Red Sox. Jim Tnbor and Tony Luplcn hit home runs In the first inning to send Tex Hughson off in front and ho continued to victory al though giving eight hits to the six his teammates made off Dutch Leonard and Alex Carras qucl. The Detroit Tigers slipped out of third place by losing a 3-1 ver dict to the Chicago White Sox in spite of seven-hit pitching by Hal Newhouscr. All three Chicago counters were scored In the first inning and were unearned. Dur ing the game Detroit made four errors, three of them by Rudy York. The Tigers were held to six hits by Johnny Humphries, but he had to have help in the ninth inning. The game was played at twi light before a crowd , of 14,703 paying customers. The Cleveland Indians ran In to the day's worst ambush, how ever. On returning to their own park for the first time in two weeks they were beaten 6-0 by the last place St. Louis Browns and stumbled in to seventh place In the standings. Bob Muncrief held the Indians to two lonely singles. George McQuinn hit a three-run homer for the Browns, In eleven years. Pop considers him a better receiver than Mick ey Cochrane. , e ALL-STAR INFIELD Taking them by positions, Htighic, senior, rates Hal Chase as the best first baseman, fol lowed by Fred Tenney and Frank Chance. . , , At second he places Hall-of-Famers Larry La Jole and Eddie Collins with Johnny Evers next. At short "you don't have' to go further than Honus Wagner." But Wil liamson, also listed as a third baseman, had a' little pre-game stunt of having two men hit grounders as rapidly as they could while he fielded them, moving in steadily until he was almost on top of the plate. . , . For third bale pop's picks are Jimmy Collins, Bill Bradley and Buck Weaver. e OUTFIELD IS COVERED With Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Trls Speaker and Willie Keeler already elected and Delehanty and Hughie Duffy pretty well up on the lists, it seems that the hall of fame has a pretty good stock of outfielders. . . . When In Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anne Earley Proprietors June 10, 1943 Sluggin' Stan Musial (above), St. Louis Cardinals' outfielder, not only ranks among the National league leaders in practically all kinds of hitting, but also ran up an impressive consecutive-game batting string. KLAMATH SPORT HOTES The school patrons of Klamath Falls will be the deciding factor in the purchase of the natator lum swimming pool. Their votes in the KUHS election on June 28 will help further the sports pro gram for the city. If the people By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer June Jottings gleaned from Oregon sport pages and haunts: Tex Salkeld, the old Portland and Salem fight promoter now a military policeman, was last heard from at Palm Springs, Calif., where they say he is teaching 40 Red Cross nurses how to swim. If quantity governs, Medford ought to have a good football team this year. Coach Lome Arnold got to computing the prospective turnout the other day, figured he might have as many as 70 boys in gear. "Don't worrv about my ane mic batting average I have been hitting the ball wen so lar except for three or four games," wrote Yankee Sccondsackcr Joe Gordon to Dick Strlte of the Eugene Register Guard a lew days ago. "I guess they can't nil ho like last vear. but my luck will change." Last year at this time Joe was in tne miaaie of a hitting streak that didn't end until June 14 with 29 con secutive games. His average at this point in 1942 was J83. It is now less than .250. e e Sacramento of the Coast league will stop over in Salem Monday for a game with the Camp Adair soldiers. The sol diers have won eight out of nine games. This will be their first crack at an AAA club. One of the two most pub licized high school pitchers to appear this season in the north west has signed with a major league club, bespectacled Walt Clough of West Seattle high. The Boston Red Sox paid him a bonus to sign and sent him 4h.ii, orm elub. Roanoke of the Piedmont league. Don John son, Portland's Jefferson nign prepper of no-hit fame, is play ing American Legion ball around Portland yet and has won two games since leaving the high school mound. A few offers from organized baseball have come his way, rumor says, but nothing has. been signed.

Benham is 4-F in the army so it is certain he will not be called lor some time. The Camp Newell army team may be the Pelican's baseball op ponent for this weekend, as the game scheduled with Medford has not been arranged as yet. If the Pelican team finds just one more ball player of the Jim Bocchi type they would really have something. For a kid who never played much baseball he has all the natural abilities any player could ever wish for. It's also too bad he didn't have American Legion Jr. baseball un der his belt as it would have helped him no end. Joe Gor don, Johnny Pesky, Ted Wil liams and many other major leaguers got their start playing Legion ball; but many never have played ball at all If they hadn't started at an early age.

Mile Run to Close Finishes Anticipat ed in NCAA Meet Friday and Saturday By ARNOLD DERLITZKI EVANSTON, III., June 10 (VP) The mile run, perennially a pro ducer of close finishes in nation al collegiate track competition, apparently has no idea of depart ing from tradition in the 22nd annual NCAA meet at Dycha stadium Friday and Saturday. Evidence of this lies in the fact that the best times of at least eight milers, each of whom has traveled the distance in 4:10 min utes or faster, show a variance of little more than a second and a half. And Clarence Dunn of Illinois might have hit 4:15 or better in stead of 4:17.6 in the recent cen tral collegiate meet had he not eased up to finish in virtually a dead heat with teammate Bob Seib. The best time this season among the eight leading contend- ers was the 4:17.2 minutes turned in by Bob Porter of Rice. Then, in order, came Dunn, Seib, Jerry Thompson of Texas, Don Burn ham of Dartmouth, Ralph Dewey of California, Ross Hume of Michigan and Bill Scott of Mich igan State. .j H. E.
