PAGE SIX Charley Brewster Puts Fire Into Phillies, Much to the Embarrassment of Dodders Sports nJ Briefs V5 Br fjj Hugh NjJ' FulUrton. Jr. QJ Br HUGH FULLERTON Jr. NEW YORK, June 16 OP) A race that might have been one of the super-specials of the win ter indoor track season is likely to pass almost unnoticed Satur day . . . It's a 1500-meter tussle between Parson Gil Dodds and Dartmouth's Don Burnham, who ran in all the important indoor miles. . . It was scheduled for Saturday, along with the junior championships, because Dodds won't run on Sunday and the AAU wanted to provide some opposition in case Gunder Haegg chose to run the 1500. . . . Mel Ott has been picked as the No. 1 father of the year in sports by the national Father's Day committee . . . From the Giants' place in the standings, we'd guess they're working on the idea that father always is in the doghouse. ONE-MINUTE SPORTS PAGE According to Greg Rice, Gun der Haegg's system of training in the woods may be all right for anyone who has "the Euro pean ability to punish himself," but American boys who try the same thing are likely to become interested in the scenery and forget to bear down . . . Carl Voyles, William and Mary grid coach, favors trying to play foot-j ball as long as he can keep a team together, but he says he definitely won't play any high schools. . . . Carl remembers one Virginia college team that took on a prep outfit during World war one and still is trying to live down the licking it received. I j WAS HE WORRIED? Bill Wallace, Rice institute! track coach, tells this one about Bob Porter, Southwest confer ence mile champion who'll run here Saturday . . . Bob got his first taste of big time competi tion in the NCAA meet last week, took quite a pushing around from the big field on the turns and finished out of the pic ture. . . After the race Porter remarked: "Coach, I'm glad that's over. Now maybe I can get some sleep. SERVICE DEPT. Baseball fans at the Norfolk Naval Training station figure that Scooter Rizzuto must have learned something from the Cardinals last fall. In one game recently, Scooter stole two bases, scored from second once on an infield out and stretched a single into a double for the winning run. His only speed rival on the team is Jeff Cross, former Cardi nal farmhand, who made it from first to third on a bunt in the same game . . . Three years ago, Shelby Buck, who had played end for Texas U., walked up to Vic Emanuel's desk in the Hous ton postoffice and announced he wanted to enter the boxing busi ness ... "I want to become a main eventer," he explained . . . He never got far in the ring, so be went to work in the oilfields, then joined the RCAF and later transferred to the American air force . . . Last week word was re ceived that Bupk, a pilot in Eng land, had been killed in action. . . Said Emanuel: "Shelby died a main eventer." Georgia Opens Football Drill ATHENS, Ga., June 16 JP) The University of Georgia be gins summer football drills to day with a squad of 17-year-old high school youngsters and a guard classified as 4-F. Only 25 are expected to re port. Coach Wallace Butts said not a single member of last year's Southeastern and Rose Bowl championship squad would be on hand. All are in the armed serv ices. Summer football drills were authorized recently in the South eastern conference. BEND, June 16 (fl3) Bend's Elks defeated the Camp Abbot baseball team yesterday, 11-1. Bob Houtchens, former Oregon State league hurler, ' held the army team to six scattered hits. i TRUCKS FOR RENT You Ddvo Move Yourself Save Long and Short Trips STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phone 8304 1201 East Main June 16, 1943 By SID FEDER Associated Press Sports Writer This is a little baseball laugh that wanders around the major and minor leagues like the choc olate streak in a marble cake and winds up with a very red face for Branch Rickey, the old smoothie of the ivory markets. as well as a shot in the arm for the Phillies. It's about the Phils' new short stop, Charley Brewster, who speeds up the infield like high octane gas. And it fits into the diamond picture today because the good burghers of Philadel phia are still dancing in the streets over yesterday's astonish ing antics, which saw the Phil lies and the Athletics each win both ends of a doubleheader on the same afternoon. Baseball men tell you Brew ster is the guy who is making the Phillies run like a 16-cy Un der job again, just when it be gan to look as if they were the same old jalopy. Anyway, they've won five of six starts since he parked his size 12 s in the infield. And what makes it particularly funny is that less than seven months ago, the Brooklyn Dodgers owned Geor gia Charley. Rickey practically gave him away and now the Bums need a shortfielder like a hitch-hiker needs his thumb. It was so bad yesterday, in fact, that Ernie Lombardi, baseball's original gluefoot, even beat out a hit to short, as the New York Giants jolted the fading flatbushers, 6-5. This setback sank the Brooklyns three full games out of first place in the National league, since the St. Louis Cardinals belted the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Harry Gumbcrt's two-hit hurl ing. The Phils got Brewster, along with Coaker Triplett, in the three-way deal that was sup posed to make a "chump" out of Owner Bill Cox. Up to then Charley had been moving around so fast his laundry didn't have a chance to catch up with him. At Nashville last year, the folks said he really had the mak ings, so Rickey brought him up. But Brainy Branch sent him to Milwaukee with a bundle of cash estimated at $15,000 for Hal Peck, the two-toed outfield er. The Brewers got him just 10 minutes before the draft meet ing last December, and the Reds drafted him right then. The Brewers squawked but Com missioner Landis said the deal "stuck," and Charley'd been with two clubs in 10 minutes. A few weeks ago, Cox traded Danny Litwhiler, who was doing the Phils no good, and Earl Nay lor to the Cards for Triplett, Buster Adams and Dain Clay. The Reds, full up with short stops and always looking for a fly-chaser, sent Brewster to the Phils for Clay. He's made just one error in six games and has zipped up the infield until you'd hardly recognize it. And Trip lett has earned his coffee and cakes with two homers in the same half dozen games. One of them, hooked up with a triple, gave the Phils a 6-4 decision over Boston' in their opener yesterday. Ronny Northey hit for the jack pot once in each game and the Phils took the nightcap 2-1 which boosted them into fifth place in the league. Meantime, making it Phila delphia's biggest day since Billy Penn got together with the In dians, the A's socked the Red Sox 7-4 and 4-2, with Dick Sie bert sending in four runs in the opener and Jesse Flores flipping his eighth win of the year in the afterpiece. The Yankees went four full games out in front in the Ameri can league by whipping Washing ton 9-5 with a seven-run spree in the eighth frame of a night game. In the other after-dark outing Detroit and Cleveland were rained out the St. Louis Browns belted the Chicago White Sox 5-2 as the American league batting leader, Vern Stephens, collected a homer and a single. Incidentally, the National league hitting race was taken over by Harry Walker of the Cards, who connected safely in his 22nd straight game. Truett Sewell served up a steady nine-hitter to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 4-2 decision over the Chicago Cubs. PORTLAND, June 16 (IP) George's triple in the nines last night broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Albina Engine and Machine Works nine a 6-3 win over Com mercial Iron Works in a War In dustries Baseball league game.

(sec- Podgajny Traded To Pittsburgh PHILADELPHIA, June 16 (VP) Bespectacled Johnny Podgajny, who likes nothing better than pitching against the' Chicago Cubs, leaves the Phillies today for the Pittsburgh Pirates who meet Chicago tonight. The even-up exchange of the 22-year-old righthander from Chester, Pa., for 29-year-old Lloyd Arthur Dietz, who has won none and lost three for Pittsburgh this season, was an nounced a few hours before the trading deadline last midnight. Dietz also pitches right handed. "I hate to see Podgajny go," declared Manager Bucky Har ris, "but I figure Dietz is a very good relief pitcher and that's what we need." The exchange came as the Phillies, rebuilt in a series of previous transactions by new owner Bill Cox, apparently were resuming their campaign to shake off the dust of the second division in the National league. Podgajny in, his three years with the perennial eighth-placers won 20 games and lost 33. Ten of his triumphs, including one that snapped the club's six-game losing streak this year, were against Chicago. Kohut Will Meet Pittsburgh Man PORTLAND, June 16 (JP Lou Pitts of Pittsburgh has been substituted for Big Boy Hogue in a scheduled 10-round bout with Joe Kahut, Woodburn light heavyweight, here Friday night. Matchmaker Joe Waterman said that Hogue would be unable to get into shape by Friday, but might be matched with the win ner later. The other 10-rounder sched uled for the card pitta Jimmy Garrison, Kansas City welter weight, against Cleo McNeal, Cleveland negro. Other bouts include Leo Rom aniello, 138, Portland, against Mell Roberts, Portland, six rounds; Bobby Brock, 140, Port land, against Roy Faluci, Port land, four rounds; Ted Damico, Portland light heavyweight, against Ray Ramirez, Portland, four rounds. Strike-Out King Wins Another - PORTLAND, June 16 (At Husky Don Johnson, schoolboy strikeout king, hurled his fifth no-hit, no-run game yesterday, a seven-inning affair in which he allowed no batter to get on base. His American Legion Junior baseball team, Albina, defeated Commerce, 11-0, playing error less ball as Johnson struck out 14. Two others of his no-hitters were scored in Legion base ball and two in Portland high school play. Let's Go DANCING THIS SAT. NITE At the ARMORY BALDY'S BAND Regular Admission Prices Coast Conference Cut Into 2 Sections as War Measure Split Schedule Agreed on at S. F. Confab; Rose Bowl Classic's Fate in Doubt SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 16 (IP) The Pacific coast confer ence lO-meniber football circuit was split in two sections today because of wartime travel re strictions, with the possibility that Stanford university, long time strong member, might not even have a team. And the fate of the annual New Year's Rose Bowl classic at Pasadena admittedly hinged on whether the season was cur ried to a successful conclusion. Conference rep resontotives, adopting what was described as "the only solution." at their meeting lust night approved the split schedule to reduce the travel of football teams to a minimum in cooperating with the office of defense transporta tion. A semi-roundrobin scries will be played between the four southern members of the confer ence, Stanford, California, South ern California and' the Univers ity of California at Los Angeles. The winner will meet the win ner of the northern section for the conference title.
