Midland PAGE SIX' NEW YORK. June 18 (P) Here it is past the middle of June and there hasn't been a major golf tournament yet which makes it the first June without one since the other World war. . . . The Hale Amer ica tourney filled the gap last year when the National open was abandoned. . . . Although the Yankees-Senators race is about the hottest thing in base ball right now and Washington! is about the hottest town (with out reference to weather), the Yanks won't return to the capi-: tal until September 17.

The boys will want to hear again about the time that the Philadelphia Athletics came to Boston for a five-game series during which Cronin, 36 years old and round as a barrage bal loon, made four appearances as a pinchhitter and produced three home runs, every one with two teammates aboard. Cronin will start his story with that doubleheader on June 15, a Tuesday. His Red Sox lost both games, but the red-cheeked Irishman, whose batting aver ase was around .200 for his few previous appearances, bright ened the first game by parking one of Lum Harris' knuckle ball pitches in the stand in the seventh inning. He couldn't re peat in the second game. This will lead up to the cli max on Thursday, when he reached the peak in pinchhit ting a home run in each game of a doubleheader. The A's had a 4-1 lead in the seventh inning of the first game when Babe Bama and Skeeter N e w s o m e got on base and Cronin came up against Russ Christopher. Quickly he rifled a drive into the stands to tie the score, and the Sox went on to a 5-4 victory. In the second game the A's were winning 8-4 when Cronin came up against Rookie Don Black in the eighth inning with Bobby Doerr and Newsome on base. It was the same story, ex cept that Boston didn't get any more runs and the A's won the second game 8-7. Winning the nightcap lifted the A's into third place in the American league because De troit dropped a twilight-night doubleheader to the Cleveland Indians 3-2 and 6-5, the second game going 12 innings. Relief Pitcher Mike Naymick received credit for both victories with Manager Lou Bourdeau driving in the deciding run with a ninth-inning singe in the first game and scoring the winning run in the second session. The New York Yankee were given a 9-8 -decision over the Washington Senators in a rag ged game in which the winning run was forced across on a walk by Early Winn with the bases loaded in the ninth. Luke Appling enabled the Chicago White Sox to nose out the St. Louis Browns 4-3 in 13 innings. He doubled for two runs to tie the score in the ninth and singled home the win ning run four frames later. Cincinnati set down the St Louis Cardinals 6-1 and moved closer second place in the Na tional league as Elmer Riddle pitched five-hit ball and Gee Walker drove in three of the Reds' runs. The .New York Giants com pleted a sweep of their three game series with the Brooklyn Dodgers by winning' 8-5 on the impetus of a five-run first in ning against Kirby Higbe. The Chicago Cubs were held to four hits, but one of them was a three-run homer by Ival Goodman and brought them a 3-2 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who made just six safe ties off Paul Derringer. Philadelphia and Boston di- vided a doubleheader, the Braves taking the first game 2-0 on the four-hit hurling of Manny Salvo, who had not won previously this year, and the Phillies bagging the nightcap 7-2 with a 13-hit attack. Jim Hess Signs With Portland PORTLAND, Ore., June 18 OP) The Portland Pacific Coast league baseball club today an nounced signing of Jim Hess, tall ex-high school mound star. Hess is only 18, stands 6 feet, 3 inches and weighs 205 pounds. DANCE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT SKATELAND ' 515 Klamath Ave. Music Pappy Gordon' Oregon Hillbillies Auspices Veterani of Foreign War Huskies Will Be Powerful Conference Ruling Open Way for Strong Gridiron Outfit at Stank This Fall SEATTLE. June 18 UP) Rul ings at the Pacific Coast confer ence meeting probably will en able the University of Washing ton to field a powerful and ex perienced football team next fall, Athletics Manager Roland E. Bl shaw said last night. The vote to allow men in uni form to compete, even if they have completed three years of varsity competition will give the Huskies several of their own per formers from last year and prob ably several from other colleges. Pete Spusick. varsity quarter back from North Bend, Ore., is one of the three-year performers who may be available to bolster Coach Ralph (Pest) Welch's grid machine. The navy rule allowing cadets only 48 hours away from their base for athletic participation was the direct reason for split ting the conference into north ern and southern divisions, Bel shaw explained. As a result Washington is seek ing two more games to add to its northern division home-and-home schedule. Belshaw said the second air force football team from Spokane was being sought for a September 25 opening game. There was no doubt but that Orin E. (Babe) Hollingbery would be back as head football coach at Washington State col lege, despite differences over a salary cut, Belshaw said. Sergeant Lyle Williams, ex Klamath boxer and now station ed in Nome, Alaska, with the army signal corps, is home on a two weeks' leave. Williams par ticipated in many main, event boxing matches before entering the army, and went to the Gold en Glove championships at Seat tle in 1938. Lyle's brother, Fred dy Williams, is also a former lo cal boxer and is stationed with the marines at Pearl Harbor. The scheduled Pelican base ball game with the Redding town team has been definitely cancelled. A misunderstanding between the two teams resulted in the cancellation. No other game has been officially arrang ed and Camp Newell may again be the Pelican's opponent this Sunday. Maben White, former City League Softball, basketball and baseball star, is a corporal in the army air corps detachment sta tioned at Pearl Harbor. Maben was one of the most outstanding basketball players developed in Klamath Falls for many years. A sad blow has struck the Pel ican baseball team this year. Marshall Eyestone has left Klam ath Falls for Portland where he is going into defense work. Eye stone had been the mainstay of Pelican ball club for the past three years, and his services will be missed this year of all years, since good players are so hard to find. He had been chosen Pelican manager for the season, and would have been a good one as he was well liked by fellow play ers and the fans. A logical suc cessor has not been chosen as yet; but a vote will be cast at the regular Pelican practice to TO HORSEI PICO, Calif., W) Two 12- year-old Paul Reverers will warn Pico if and when the enemy strikes by air. Kenneth D. Wells. Jr.. will tour the area on hi Palomino horse and Ronald Baird will use a bicycle to call auxiliary fire men. Let's Go DANCING THIS SAT.

Thats not an Inconsistency. As a check shows that a major ity of the khaki runners are com ing to Randall's Island on fur loujh time usually sv .ed for a trip home. Charles Hlad. former Michi gan normal runner, won' the Big Ten hurdling championships for the Chicago university army training center last month but was unable to compete in the re cent central eollegiates at Mil waukee on Uncle Sam's time. He has been granted a week's vacation, however, to come here. Sailors, marines and coast guardsmen from 14 different camps also will be here for the biggest service entry in the 55 years of the meet. The latter collection includes Chief Specialist Greg Rice of the maritime service, who will oppose Gunder Haegg of Sweden in the headlined 5000 meter event on Sunday, and Ensign Cor nelius Warmerdam in the pole vault. Fred Wilt, formerly of Indiana but now a midshipman at the Columbia naval training school, will be in the Haegg Rice race. Eulace Peacock, 1935 cham pion, will leave his Manhattan Beach, N. Y., coast guard sta tion duties long enough to try for the sprint titles. Among his rivals will be Corp. Barney Ewell and Tom Galli- night at 6 o'clock. The players on the club wish Marshall all the success in the world, and a suc cessful baseball season while in Portland. . Dirk Vaillancour, Al Cline and Bill Christensen, all former KUHS athletes, joined the arm ed forces and left recently for parts unknown. KXWWWUi ?

In addition, Lieut. Joe McClus key and Lieut. Lou Gregory will put aside their naval uniforms for the weekend. McCluskey, without who no major AAU meet would bo complete, will defond his 10.000 meters title while en route to his new base at Siena college. Gregory, also a distance runner, is with the Iowa pre- flight school. Civilians from 35 colleges and clubs also will compete. Tall Johnny Gee May Go Back to Pitt Pirates PITTSBURGH, June 18 (JP) Johnny Gee, all six feet nine of him, apparently is coming back to the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose $73,000 Investment in , hlm in 1839 did not pay off so much as the price of a postage stamp. "Ho certainly looks great," commented Manager Frankie Frisch as he watched the south paw hurlcr, probably the tallest man in organized baseball, burn 'em over in batting practice. "It looks very favorable that we will sign him," said Owner William Banswangcr. The Pirates have only 24 players, so "Long John," who is on the voluntary retired list, could don a uni form the minute his application for reinstatement was approved and go west with the Bucs next week. Deferred In the draft because of his height, the University of Michigan graduate would be "a welcome addition to the hurling staff," in the words of Benswan gcr, particularly since the induc tion of Pitchers Johnny Lanning and Jack Hallett is imminent.

Seals Gain Half Game On Angels Dimout Regulations Help San Francisco In Roc With Arch-Angel Br The Associated Preu Second place San Francisco can thank the western defense command and strict observance of dimout regulation today for gaining half gam on the lea gue leading Loa Angeles Angels. For the Seals In the bright of day polished off Hollywood 3 to 2 at movie-land while the An gel ended up In a 3 to 3 tie with fourth place OakUnd when a twilight tussle extended Into the tenth Inning. It brought the Seal to within seven games of the top, a con siderable gap perhaps but still not as wide as in the recent weeks. Baseball at twilight, winning friends and influencing man agers rapidly in the circuit, drew a blink in two other scheduled games. Both the Sacramento at Portland and San Diego at Seat tle contests were postponed. These game will be made up In doubleheaders tomorrow. A two-run rally for Los An geles in the seventh tied up the Oakland game at three runs apiece. Then the game was In terrupted for ten precious min utes while the Oak' first lack er, Hugh Luby, tried to argue away a decision of Umpire Ed Borskl which ruled Angel Billy Holm safo at first. Luby lost the argument and was banished from the game, for the second time in cidentally In more than ten years. Oakland Pitcher Henry Pippen retired the side without further ado, ending the threat, but be fore he left the mound he gave up 11 hits. Pete Mallory of the Angels was nicked for a dozen hits before the contest was called.
