0(J BrltfiTs V - Hugh i Nr Y FuUerton. J.y NEW YORK, June 23 (TP) The latest number of the Iowa Navy Pre-Fliht school "Spin drift" brings the news that the itation will begin working on a six-day week in July. . . The daily sports period won't be on the Saturday schedule . . . Won er what effect that will have when the football season arrives, especially if a lot of other sta tions take up the same idea? . . . Newest candidate for the Dod gers' shortstopping job is 17-year-old Gene Mauck of Los An geles, who has been working out with the Bums for a couple of days. He came from the same high school that sent Mickey Owen, Cliff Dapper and Roy Partee up to the majors . . . Carl Hubbell celebrated his 40th birthday by shagging flies dur ing pre-game practice, as usual. LEADLINE HEADLINER When a story came out the other day that Maltese race fans were betting on Kingsway in the English- derby because a heavily bombed street in Malta bore the same name, the Tulsa Tribune headed it: "Island Games Put Dough on Blitz." . . . Wonder what they'd think of that if it ever got back to Malta? NO HANDICAP AT ALL Tom McHugh, Salt Lake City golf pro, has cooked up a new handicap system that sounds like a pip ... A 95-100 golfer is given a three-hole handicap and is al lowed to subtract the total strokes for his worst three holes from his score . . . The handicaps go down with the scores until a 71-75 shooter gets only a half hole handicap .... If they in crease proportionately, this dept. may take up golf again. We'd rate about a 17-hole handicap. ONE-MINUTE SPORTS PAGE Les McCrabb, who retired to his Lancaster county (Pa.) farm a couple of years ago when Connie Mack wouldn't pay him what he wanted, is back in pro baseball with the Lancaster club of the Interstate league. . . . Fred Shef field, the Utah U. frosh who won the NCAA high jump and placed tnira in tne AAU meet, was turn ed down by his college when he wanted to make the trip but friends in Kaysville, Utah, and the Intermountain AAU com bined to raise the expense mon ey .. . The university of Iowa "I" club is starting a scholarship as a memorial to Nile Kinnick. . . . The club's publication ap peals: "Send your contribution and steer the young athletes to Iowa for the fall term." Commission Sets Armstrong, Joyce Rematch for July 24 LOS ANGELES, June 23 (JP) The fight managers, the promoter and California's athletic commis sion have agreed on July 24 as the date for a rematch here of Henry Armstrong, Los Angeles, and Willie Joyce, Gary, Ind. Originally, Henry was to mix With Joyce next Saturday, but eight stitches the Los Angeles negro required in his lip after his recent New York victory over Sammy Angott forced the postponement.

The celebrated five-year-old today was regarded as a possible starter in the $10,000 added equipoise mile, topping Arling ton park's program Saturday, as the result of his showing yester day in his first start in 191 days. Mr. Long Tail engaged in a nice bit of team worn wnn stablemate Mar-Kell in making his first start of the 1943 season. While Mar-Kell raced to a two and a half length victory over a mile route, Whirlaway came swinging home in third place, three-quarters of a length back of King's Abbey. It would have been unwise for Whirlaway's handlers to drive him hard in his first race of the season against good milers over a mile course, which to the champion is just sprinting dis tance. So Jockey Wendell tads Navy Pre-Flight Gridders Sure To Play Ball WASHINGTON. June 23 (IP) Football fans can give thanks that at least one branch of the armed services, naval pre-flight knows right where it stands about the game next fall. Naval pre-flight will play! While major colleges wonder whether they should stay in or get out, and the army is unde cided about allowing its trainees to complete in intercollegiate games, Lieut. Comdr. Frank W. Wickhorst said today; "Football gives the people the same thing that war does only without guns and bayonets, and we can't do without it.". Naval pre-Qight will have five "varsity" teams in the field at Chapel Hill, N. C, Iowa City, la., Del Monte, Calif., St Mary's, Calif., and Athens, Ga. Concentrated Tennis Title Tilts Announced NEW YORK, June 23 (TP) The title and the site will be the same as those of the past but other wise there will be little resem blance between the 1943 national tennis championships and those of preceding years. The USLTA has determined to decide titleholders in five di visions but will compress the entire competitions into six days beginning September 1 and end ing on Labor Day, September 6. The men's singles and dou bles, women's singles and dou bles and mixed doubles cham pionships will be run off on the Westside Tennis club courts at Forest Hills on those days with the fields in the singles limited to 32 players and the doubles teams held at 16. nic stav vjrrw Empire June 23, 1943 gave Whirlaway, packing top weight of 122 pounds, the kind of ride that was perhaps best for him at this stage of prepara tion for another strenuous cam paign. Whirly is being pointed for three $50000 stake engagements in the combined Arlington-Washington park meeting at Washing ton park, the first of which will be the Stars and Stripes handi cap on July 5. Sox Sock at American's First Spot Dodgers Take Third in Row From Giants; Red Men Lead Nationals by Two Games By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The Boston Red Sox are be ginning to sock once more and at any time now they are likely to muscle in. on the honeymoon the New York Yankees and Washington Senators have been enjoying at the top of the Amer-. ican league. It took Boston a long time to get rolling. But in the last three games the Sox have blasted out seven homers against the best pitching the Philadelphia Ath letics could muster and last night moved into a tie for third place with the Cleveland Indians, five games out of first place. . Washington narrowed the gap between first and second place to two games by Yiosing out the Yankees 3-2 with Mickey Ver non hitting a home run and a triple to star for the Senators. His homer came in the fourth frame and, after New York had scored twice to take the lead in the fifth. He tripled a run across to tie the score in the seventh and came home himself on another triple by Bob John son. , The Chicago White Sox whip- pea tne &t. Louis Browns 5-3 in a night game to advance into a virtual tie for sixth place with the Athletics. In the National league the Brooklyn Dodgers captured their third straight from the New York Giants 7-4 and cut the lead of the idle St. Louis Cardinals to two games. A five-run sixth inning turned the trick for the Dodgersrouting Rube Fischer, the Giants' rookie who beat Brooklyn in his debut last week. Big Paul Derringer shutout the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 for the Cubs in a morning game at Chicago although he gave seven hits while his teammates col lected only four off John Pod gajny. Boston beat the Phillies 7-6 with a five-run second inning and a two-run homer by Catcher Phil Mai in the fifth, although the Braves were out hit and Coaker Triplett also hit a round tripper for Philadelphia. Johnny Salvo, whom Boston not long ago sold to the Phillies and they declined to keep, re ceived credit for his second suc cess of the season both against the Phillies. Gil Dodds Sets American Mark In 2000 Meter PASSAIC. N. J.. June 23 IJPt The first American record for tne unusual 2000-meter run was on the books todav. and (ho world had a new mark for the seldom-run two-thirds mile to shoot at. At an invitational trarlr anH field meet yesterday, Gil Dodds, the Boston Divinity student, ne gotiated the 2000-meter dis tance in five minutes. 3R R son. onds 27 seconds slower than the world's mark for the route set last year by Gunder Haegg in Sweden. AAU Secretary Dan Ferris said the event never had been run before in the United States. When in Medford - Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anne Earley ' Proprietors Cellarites Top Seattle In Night Go Soloni Win 2 to 0 While Acorns Beat Start 5 to 4; Angels, Seals Traveling By The Associated Press A home run, some timely base running and two-hit pitching by Alpha Brazla gave the cellar dwelling Sacramento Solons of the Pacific Coast Baseball league a 2 to 0 victory over the Seattle Rainiers last night in one of two games played in the league. At Oakland the Acorns eked oue a 5 to 4 victory over the visiting Hollywood Stars by vir tue of a four run rally in the third inning. Both affairs were twilight games. At Portland the weather man stepped in, causing a postpone ment and a scheduled double header Thursday. Los Angeles and San Francisco were travel ing, preparatory to the opening today in the southern city of the final series between the league leading Angels and the second place Seals a series that might be crucial if the Angels had less than a strangle hold on the league lead. Both scores of the Seattle-Sacramento game came in the fourth inning, the first on a home run by "Nippy" Jones, and the sec ond when Bill Ramsey beat out a weak hit to short, stole second and scored from there on a sin Seattle went hitlcss until the eighth when Jimmy Jewell and Joe Demoran, in as a pinch hit ter, singled. In the other twilight game of the day. Jack Lotz of the Acorns was credited with his eighth vic tory of the season, despite the fact he was taken from the mound in the eighth when two runs were scored off him on two singles and a double. Italo Chelini replaced him and shut off the rally. ARMSTRONG SIGNED SPOKANE, June 23 (P) Henry Armstrong, former three title boxing champion, has been signed for the headline bout of a card at Gonzaga stadium Au gust 7, Matchmaker Bud Oliver reported last night. An opponent has not been se lected. By VIRGIL GROSS Frank Ramsey, local football coach at KUHS and former OSC athlete, has been chosen man ager of the 1943 Pelican base ball team. Ramsey has a good line of chatter and will have a great influence on the teams. He did not play baseball at OSC, but coached several Le gion and high school ball teams in Corvallis with successes. In their first home game of the year the Klamath Falls Pel icans will meet the strong Bend Elks of the Central Oregon league. Bend boasts victories over the Redmond Air Base, the Camp Abbott army team and an early season victory over the local Pelicans. All of the Bend wins were decisive victories, therefore proving the strength of that team. The Peli cans have been reenforced since their loss to Bend and a revers al of score may be in store. The Bend roster consists of many former semi-pro and pro ball players and will undoubted ly provide tough competition. The game will take place this Sunday afternoon on the Rec reation park diamond with starting time scheduled at 2 o'clock.

Filer Battered By Segura's Accurate Tennis Marksmanship EVANSTON, 111., June 23 (IP) Francisco Segura is majoring in business administration at the University of Miami but his main occupation is tennis, at which he appears to be a thor ough disorganize Horace Filer of Dcpauw, who stood across the Northwestern university court from Segura in yesterday's second round of the national Collegiate Athletic as sociation's 50th tournament, knows now how it feels to be a baseball pitcher when Joe Di Maggio or Ted Williams are steaming line drives through the mound. Strictly helpless, that's it. Segura banged through four quick points in taking the first game. He did the same in the second. He clipped the net re turning Filer's service once in the third game and that was the first time the Depauw lad made a point Segura won the fourth Sunday's game by dragging the field nightly. Lesmeister states that the number of games to be played at home this year depends largely on the attendance at this game; so fans of Klamath Falls do your utmost to attend this game, as baseball's future for this city hangs in the bal ance. Weakest spot In the Pelican lineup is the pitching depart ment. Hi Hatfield is the only potential starter thus far with Orlo Oakes as a relief chuckcr. Virgil Haines, last year pitch ing veteran, is to have his ton sils out this week and may be ready for mound duty on Sun day. Marshall Eyestone, former Pelican outfielder and at the first of the season Pelican man ager, is now settled in Portland working in a defense plant. Eyestone may play for a club in the War Industries league or one of the City league clubs, -LET. State Farm Ins. Co. PralMt Your Prlvll.li la Drive J.

He won the second 6-0 and Filer tallied only four points. It was over in 20 diizy minutes. That left seven other fellows wondering what cruel fate ever put them in the same bracket with the brown-skinned, bounc ing Ecuador star. It made the eight lads in the other bracket wonder what's the use of win ning their section if It means meeting Segura in the finals Saturday.
