Joe Gordon's Batting On Recovery Swing; Pennant Chasers Work For Naught Br SID FEDER Associated Press Sports Writer Don't look now, folks, but the latest hospital reports Indicate Joe Gordon's long-ailing bat may be about to sit up and take a lit tle nourishment again. In the last few days it's been showing that there are still signs of life. Topping off the "recov ery" with four hits in the twin bill the Yankees cut up with the Red Sox yesterday including a two-run homer that won the opener for the Bombers the flash has chipped in with eight safe wallops in four games and pulled his average up 45 points. Now, this may not mean that the slump which has been taking all the shine off Joe since early last September has finally re sponded to medical treatment. It's been one of the worst slumps in modern times, largely because there didn't seem to be any reason for it. But he seemed on the way again and yesterday, with a Ladies' Golf Match Real Hair-puller Tough Contest Seen From Start of Women's Western Open as Champions Vie Br CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO. June 28 W The quality of the field teeing off today in the women's western golf open seldom has been equalled in the meet's 14-year history, and although three pro fessionals rank high among the favorites, a scramble for the championship was in prospect. Nearly half of the 100 entrants from 22 states hold handicaps low enough . to be regarded championship bracket possibil ities, but only 32 will qualify for the match-play title flight in the opening 18-hole round. Thus, the tournament promises to be strongly-contested from the very start. The three favored pros are Fatty Berg, the Minneapolis red head who is making her first competitive appearance since in juring her knee in an auto acci dent 18 months ago; Mrs. Opal S. Hill, the Kansas City, Mo., veteran; and Elizabeth Hicks of Long Beach, Calif. Since Texan Betty Jameson, now living in Mexico City, will not be back to defend her title, only Miss Berg and Mrs. Hill are former open champions in the field, the former having won it in 1941 and the latter in 1935 and 1936.

NEW YORK, June 28 W End of the great experiment: Al Lang, the voice of St Pete, is tourning the Major league cities dropping hints that Flor ila would be glad to have the baseball clubs train there again next spring especially since the army is giving up its leases on a lot of hotels . . . Bob Foote of the Pasadena. Calif., Star- News adds that the White Sox al ready are pledged to drill in Pasadena next spring, if possible. and suggests that the Dodgers might join them . . . There's a good field right next door to California Tech, says Bob, and such close association of the erudite and the screwy might do both some good. . . NO LOSS THERE Laurie Apitz, University of Louisville athletic director, re ports that- out of 25 men who made up his 1938 football squad, 20 are army and navy officers. one is a preacher, one a private. one a sergeant and two are chem ists in a war plant. The varsity backfield, if reassembled, would consist of one chemist, two air force captains and one air force major . . .

TODAY'S GUEST STAR Dick Cullum, Minneapolis Tunes: "The football of 1943 will be the players' game. That is the coach either gives it to the players or they won't play It. They'll want to play a more reckless, happy-go-lucky game, taking the big chance, laughing off mistakes, throwing the ball around, letting off the tension of getting ready for war." SERVICE DEPT.

It was a pitchers battle all the way, and a little better support in the pinches would have enabled Hniuiuska to record a win despite light hitting by his mates. He had his "whiff" ball working and retired 12 Bend Elks via the strike-out route. Bob Houtchena was equally hot tor Bend and struck out 10 Pelicans, allowing only four hits. The locals scored an unearned run in the first, and Rend tied it up in the third on one of the two earned runs allowed by Hanauika. They added the other in the 5th on two hits, making the score 2 to 1 for Bend. In the 8th, after two were out, Ernie Bishop, who had run for Shipman in the previous inning, laced out a double down the third base line and promptly scored on Hat field's single to center, tying the score at. two-all. The previously mentioned two unearned runs by Bend in the first of the 9th, however, upset the high hopes for a Peli can win, and the best the locals could do was counter with one more run in their last turn at bat. It was a mighty good ball game and really deserved a bet ter attendance, considering that it was the much-heralded open er. Only 215 faithful fans turn ed out, which was actually less than half the paid attendance at Bend when the Pelicans played there some weeks ago. In view of expenses involved it is doubtful if many home games can be scheduled. ' Box score: Bend Elks: AB R H E Ackley.

Oregon Sport Notes By mED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer There are going to be com plications from the new foot ball program which will fatten some schools with marine corps and navy trainees and leave others to shift for themselves from among the 4Fs and un-dcr-17s. So far few complaints have come to the surface because the schools are happy at the simple prospect of preserving the sport. But they're beginning to crop out. Schools without navy or marine personnel to draw from are beginning to see where they'll be pretty badly overmatched. In the east last week Lehigh university announced that It does not intend to play any schools using service players. Probably most of the non-service schools will wait and seo how the new balance of power works out, but observers pre dict a chorus of yips before the season ends. Here on the coast, Washing ton and Southern California are the two who have drawn the blessings of grid province. USC gets the marine trainees. Wash ington the navy. Already every other school In the two ends of the divided league has lost out standing players to the Trojans and Huskies simply because the athletes entered the service, were stationed at USC or Wash Ington and will become avail able to teams that already are top-heavy with stars. The situation would Improve a ut o m a 1 1 c a 1 1 y if the army would sanction participation by its campus trainees. So far it has taken the position that they will be too busy learning to be soldiers to monkey around with football. Thus several schools with a lot of high powered talent on their campuses will have to play their civilians against other schools whose military line-ups will resemble very slightly diluted ail-American. If it turns out to be that bad the football they salvaged for war time 1943 may prove unpalata ble to both thev customers and the unlucky schools. With the Pacific coast confer ence divided, the two ends of the circuit took different paths regarding traditional big games. Oregon and Oregon State fell Into the new vogue and agreed to play twice. Stanford and Cal ifornia regused to go for a dou bleheader. They've always had one big game down there and they'll stick to one. Traditional games are deli cate growths, Jealousy cultivat ed for their big yield In gate re ceipt and advertising value to Semi-Pro Ball Tourney Opens In Portland Tonight PORTLAND, June 28 MV The annual state semi-pro base ball tournament will open here tonight with the Portland Fire men of the city league meeting Byerly's of the greater Portland circuit, Vancouver'i Red Hawks and the Camp Adair Timber Wolves filed last-minute entries to mako it an eight-team contest.
