i Andy Pafko's Booming Bat Tops Pacific Coast Players LOS ANGELES, June 29 (JP) Twelve hits, including four booming homers, rattled off Andy Pafko's bat during the past week as the Los Angeles outfielder boosted ' his batting average 3 points to .411 and clung firmly to his Pacific coast league leadership.

The attend ance at Sunday's game was ter rible and a disgrace to baseball itself. There was scarcely enough money made on this NEW YORK. June 30 P The clocks will start striking V-12 o'clock at a good many col leges tomorrow and a lot of coaches who have been wonder ing whether they'd have jobs next fall can start finding out for sure ... In case you can't guess, V-12 o'clock stands for the hour when large batches of navy trainees will report at the colleges. Ditto smaller batches of marines ... It may bring good news, too. For instance, Yale is getting Sam Mele and Johnny Simmons, better-than-fair basketball and baseball play ers from NYU via the marines . . .Tub Thumper Horace Rene gar of Tulane reports that if he had to draw up a football roster right now, he'd have just one name, Joe Renfroe, who is 4-F but an all-America halfback pos sibility. Nevertheless Horace figures that navy trainees will help give the green wave a good team . A SHORT SNORTER When Dewey "Snorter" Lust er, Oklahoma grid coach, learned that ten of his sooners were be ing called up by the marines, leaving him with only one sur vivor of last year's squad, Boone Baker, a sophomore wingback. Snorter moaned: "Looks like we're coming in on a wingback and a prayer." TODAY'S GUEST STAR Bill Reddyt Syracuse (N.Y.) Post-Standard: "One of the men who didn't pick his job because it went well with his name is the bluecoated arbiter working here with Roy Van Graflan. The umpire's name is Robb." ... BARKLEY UP THE WRONG TREE Wichita baseball fans insist this column was in error in say ing that Red Barkley, the new Dodger shortstop, wasn't a "reg ular" on the Cessna semi-pro team last year just because he played only half his team's games in the national tourney. It was a leg injury that kept him out . . . Incidentally, Branch Rickey reports that Barkley has made himself popular with the Dod gers by cussing himself out when he returns to the bench after making a bad play ... "I got the impression," says Branch, "that he was well, kind of screw ballish." SERVICE DEPT. Yeoman Morris Siegel, sports columnist of the Norfolk naval training station "Seabag" reports that Phil Rizzuto has done more damage to the rival naval air sta tion team "than the allied fliers did to Pantelleria." In a recent five-game series in which every game was decided by a single run, Phil was either directly or indirectly responsible for every winning tally . , .

As a result of the poor crowd, Pete Lesmeister, Pelican business manager, says few home games can possibly be scheduled this year since the team would undoubtedly get deeply in debt. Bud Larson, last year's Peli can shortstop, from latest re ports had a chance to sign with the Brooklyn Dodgers, but did not sign because of the uncer tainty of his military status. The Dodgers would have sent him to the Durham club in South Carolina, a class B outfit. Bill Hanauska definitely showed improvement in his pitching in Sunday's encounter with Bend especially in con 1rol. He seems to have lost the wildness he had two years ago while with the Pelicans, and works on the corners on every pitch. His speed and curve balls have definitely bettered along with his experience. Bill left for Portland Monday where he will work a few more days before shoving off for Wil lamette university and the navy V-7. Norm Peters, slugging 1942 Pelican - outfielder and former OSC football and baseball star, was in town last week. Peters was the boy who hit all those long Pelican home runs during the 1942 season.

In fact, you might say that the Beavers looked a lot more like the team that started the season than the slugging bunch of boys who climbed steadily, after getting started to roll, into the first division as the Seals shellacked them to the tune of 8 to 2. Rookie outfielder George Met kovich was the particular thorn in Portland's rose bush as he lined out a triple 410 feet long to drive in two runs and then scored himself in the third in ning. Just to cap the climax he stopped a threatened Beaver rally in the fourth by scooping up Larry Barton's opener with two men on base. In the only other game of the day. Shortstop Mickey Burnett of Sacramento let in two runs on an error giving Hollywood a 10 inning 4 to 3 victory over the Senators. It was a heartbreaker for Bud Byerly, who limited the Stars to five hits while the Solons were collecting 10 off two Hollywood chuckers. . Today Seattle opens a nine game series against the league leading Los Angeles Angels with a doubleheader in the Angel park and San Diego and Oak land will get back into the swim with ft twilight session in the Padre park.

Phone 5103 PAGE EIGHT Patty Berg's Tricky Knee Holds Up for Second Round By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO, June 30 (T) There seldom was a knee in sports history, including those tricky ones of football stars, that has become as famous as Patty Berg's. Although she has to keep it tightly bound and walks with a slight limp, the Minneapolis redhead has not developed an inferiority complex about it. Her cheery personality flows on. In fact, after an interview with her, she leaves the impres sion that she is downright proud of that scarred knee, which was twisted and crushed in an auto mishap in Texas in December, 1941. Patty was in her usual lolly frame of mind after eliminating the veteran match play ace, Mrs. Opal S. Hill of Kansas City, Mo., 5 and 3 to move into today's second round of the women's western open. Patty, the tournament medalist with a neat par 76, drew a capable opponent, Mary Agnes Wall of Menominee, Mich. If she sur vives this morning's round the gallant comebacker will sweep into the quarter finals in the afternoon. But 36 holes of com petition frankly worried her. "It's my big test," she said. "A year ago I started practic ing for half an hour a day until I got so I could pivot fairly well. Then I started playing a Youngsters Square off In Golf Go CHICAGO, June 30 (P) Four youthful golfers square off over i Olympia Fields No. 1 course to- j day, all seeking a chance at the I national collegiate golf crown before they enter military serv ice. On the basis of age and tour nament qualifying scores, the four could not have been more evenly matched for their morn ing 18-hole semi-final round. The 18-hole final is scheduled for this afternoon. All are 21 years old. Richard Kuntz of Yale and Wally Ulrich of Carleton, (Northfield, Minn.) who meet in today's match, both scored 78s in qualifying play, while Bill Roden of Texas and Walt Beckjord of Yale, lower bracket opponents, each got 77s. NAVY BEATS CUBS . TORONTO, June 30 lP) The Great Lakes naval training sta tion rapped out 15 hits off four Chicago Cub pitchers yesterday to defeat the National leaguers, 11-7, in an exhibition game.

Draft Makes New Inroads in Major League Baseball Clubs q By JUDBON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The major leagues had double reason to be "war con scious" today. The first was that this Is tho first of the two days this season set aside by all mujor league clubs tor donating all re ceipts to the National War Re lief Fund and the other was that the draft has Just touched base ball anew. Three top ranking players were culled for induction yester day and out of the trio the army took one, Jimmy Brown, captain of the St. Louis Cardinals, and rejected two, Vernon Stephens and Georgo McQulim of the St. Louis Browns.
