Sports f Briefs Sf By I Hugh I Fullarton. t'jfejjm NEW YORK, June 22 m Sketch of a swell guy: . . . Greg ' Rice lay on a rubbing table in . steamy-hot dressing room un der Randall's Island stadium . . . He had just taken the licking of his life in a race with Sweden's Gunder Haegg and his string of victories had been snapped at 65 . . . What's more he was sick. The trainer virtually carried him i in to take a shower and he breathed in short, quick gasps as he lay there, wincing under the applications of alcohol . . . Under the conditions, you'd think a fellow had a right to be a bit peeved at everything . . . But Rice managed to display a big grin all the time and when the reporters, well-wishers and auto graph hounds crowded around, he'd sit up painfully, shake hands and say "thanks" and you knew both the grin and the thanks were genuine . . . He's a tough little guy to beat in a face, but it's a tougher job try ing to get an alibi out of him. QUOTE. UNQUOTE Last word by Haegg (as re layed by an interpreter): "He says he likes to sit around and talk with newspapermen as much as anybody but he doesn't think its a good idea when he's in training." ... It can be a bad . idea at other times, too. MORE STADIUM CINDERS Starter Jack Lavelle was all set to start the big race in Swedish, but one of Haegg's handlers nixed the idea . . . "He understands enough," the Interpreter explained and he, did, enough to say "thank you" when he was mentioned to the inside lane, too . . . The AAU is having trouble finding opposi tion for the Swedish smoke eater. t Gil Dodds doesn't want to make a long tour because he has a family to look after and, besides, there's no telling when Haegg will run a mile or 1500 meters. TODAY'S GUEST STAR James E. Wray, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "President Will ' Harridge is wondering why Sat urday baseball crowds have dwindled away to week-day pro portions . . . The answer couldn't be the bargain Sunday double header, could it, Bill? ... If you offered to sell two sirloin steaks on Sunday for the price of one on Saturday, you couldn't expect a crusn ax me meat counter on Saturday." APOLOGY ALLEY Staff Sgt George W. Coan m of Stinson Field, Tex., takes is sue with this department for calling Orville White a former assistant of Sgt. Clayton Heaf ner instead of vice versa . . , "As I know Orville White to be one of the most perfect gentle men of golf and one of the fin est teachers, I think it only fair that he receive his just credit," says Coan. PERFECT ENDING A wrestling match at Phila- - delphia will be sponsored by the charity committee of the trim ming industry . . . What could be more appropriate? This Is Thornton Thornton Ln (right), Chicago White Sox pitcher, got another treatment in the "gallows" rigged up to help cure adhesions in his left arm which caused the big left-hander to lose his effective ness. Massage and diathermy also were part of his conditioning program that put him back in shape so that the Sox replaced his dollar-a-year contract with a regular payroll agreement after ha won three games. Richard Hooking is operating the device. PAGE SIX' Dodger Tilt Bares Giants Lack of Luck Unluck Business Seen as Chase-Traded for Borna Sent to Showers Yesterday By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The New York Giants not only haven't had much luck on the playing field this season, they haven't had anything re sembling a good break in their trades. Recently the Giants gave Her bert (Babe) Barna, a sometime slugging outfielder, to the Bos ton Red Sox for Lefty Kendall Chase, a pitcher with consider able American league experi ence. Barna, who had been a lack lustre performer for the Giants, entered the Red Sox lineup im mediately and began clouting extra-base hits. His blows have been directly responsible for at least two Boston triumphs with in a week. The Giants were criticized for taking Chase, who, on the day before the deal was made, walk ed 11 men in four innings and who had not won a game this season. But they bided their time and waited for the proper spot to unveil a southpaw. This occasion came yesterday in a twilight game against the Brooklyn Dodgers and for awhile ; it seemed Manager Mel Ott was about to win an honorable men-; tion for masterminding.. For five innings he shutout the Dodgers on one hit while his. teammates gave him a 1-0 ad van-! tage over Bobo Newsom. But in ! the sixth the Dodgers tied the: score and in the seventh theyj chased Chase with six runs on! five hits and captured a 7-1 de-j cision. . I The game had to be called at the end of the eighth because of darkness. In the only other game on the major league program, the St. Louis Cardinals maintained their 2 game edge over the Dodgers by taking a 6-2 verdict at Cin cinnati in a game that was halt-! ed by weather conditions at the end of seven innings. ' ' - v Howie Krist held the Reds to five hits, but it took a four-run uprising in the sixth inning to settle the struggle in St. Louis' favor. Ex-Champ to do "Fighting for God" LOS ANGELES, June 22 (jT) Former heavyweight : boxing champion Jack Johnson is "go ing to do my fighting for God from now on.

No Chance for Rice to Race Haegg Again NEW YORK, June 22 OP) War, which made the Gunder-Haegg-Greg Rice meeting pos sible, has killed all chances for a second race this sum mer. Rice, a chief specialist in the maritime service, has re ceived orders to begin a month's cruise today which virtually precludes any possi bility he will have a chance to avenge the 40-meter defeat he suffered Sunday in the 5000 meter run at the Na tional AAU championships. Haegg was brought over from Sweden, where he set seven world records last sum mer, to meet Rice in a series of races for the benefit of the Army Air Forces Aid society.

By a quirk that probably wouldn't repeat in 50,000 chances, the schedule calls for do-or-dio series from top to bot tom of tlie standings so that first place Los Angeles plays runner up San Francisco, third ranking San Diego fights it out with the fourth spotter, Portland, Oak land and Hollywood settling fifth and sixth between them and number 7, Seattle, taking on the cellar squad, Sacramento. One of the hottest fights of all will take place at Portland today with the Beavers sure they can rub out San Diego's 21 game lead and move into third spot. The Padres have been petering out of late and last week were lucky to split a six game scries with the submerged Rainicrs. Portland took three out of four from Sacramento and expected to widen the gap yesterday in a doubleheader. But weather caused a postponement. Sacramento may have difficul ty with the new Seattle batting order this week. The series opens with a twilight tussle to night. Hollywood and Oakland, a half game apart, settle a feud tonight at Emeryville over fifth place. The Los Angcles-San Francis co scries starts tomorrow with a doubleheader. It's the second and last meeting between the Seals and Angels, who hold a 7i game lead. Pasco Flyers Slug to Victory Over Padres TACOMA, June 22 W) The Pasco Naval Air Station Flyers fashioned a 6 to 2 baseball vic tory over San Diego of the Coast league here yesterday, by com bining their own timely hitting with Padre miscues. Both San Diego runs came in the first inning, on singles by Ed Wheeler and Marv Gudat and Jack Calvcy's double. The Flyers got one back In their half when Edo Vanni walk ed, Danny Escobar singled and Danny Amaral doubled. Their big inning, however, was the sec ond, when singles by Johnny Bittner, Vanni and Escobar, plus two San Diego errors, produced four tallies, all unearned.

May Quit Seattle For Farming Rainicrs Face Possible Loss of Mound Ace Due to Labor Shortage at Home SEATTLE, June 22 (Ah-Manager Bill Skiff of the Seattle Rainicrs of the Pacific Const league said yesterday he is fac ing the possibility of losing Hal Turpin, ace of his mound staff, for the remainder of the season. Turpin, Skiff said, may find it necessary to return to his farm near Yoncalla, Oregon, because the manpower shortage is mak ing it increasingly difficult for him to get sufficient farm labor. Skiff said there was a possi bility arrangements might be made for Turpin to pilch once a week when the Rainiers play In Seattle. The big pitcher has been one of the all-time mound greats in Seattle, baseball history. Since 1937 he has been .a consistent 20 game winner. This season he got away to a slow start, but has won his last three games for a record of seven wins and six losses.' Turpin returned to Yoncalla after pitching Saturday's first game against San Diego. He is expected back Thursday or Fri day and Skiff said he probably will make known his final de cision at that time. The question of whether to farm or play baseball kept Tur pin unsigned for some time this spring, but the recruiting of suf ficient farm labor finally tip ped the balance in favor of the diamond. realized in the league, at its next session in December, votes to ac cept Don Amechc's franchise for Los Angeles. There also is a move to obtain a franchise for San Francisco. With Boston already in, start ing next year, and with Cleve land returning after the war when the new Philadelphia-Pitts burgh combine will separate, the league will have 11 members six in its eastern division and five in the west, the need for another western club is evident for balance, and Los Angeles, is the likely newcomer.
