Major War Relief Tilts Score High in Baseball, Low in Box Office Intake , By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The Major leagues scored 100 per cent for entertainment on the first of their two war relief days yesterday, but they failed to get more than a bare passing grade at the box office. An assortment of doublehead ers, twilight and night games in eight cities drew 134,578 fans who paid $147,391 into the treas ury of National War Relief, Inc., and this might seem like a lot of people and a lot of money except that games for army and navy relief in the same cities last year netted $289,412, or ap proximately twice as much. Under last- year's arrange ment, when clubs were permitted to pick their own rivals and choose their own dates, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants played each other and wrote out checks for $60,000 in Brooklyn and $73,000 in the polo grounds. This year's plan of having all "Babe" Dahlgren Picked From Phillies for Major All-Star Go NEW YORK, July I (JP) A new chapter in the baseball life of Ellsworth "Babe" Dahlgren, the player no one wanted until he joined the Philadelphia Phil lies, will be written in Phila delphia's Shibe Park the night of July 13.

The squad is dominated by eight members of the world champion Cardinals. Eleven, in cluding six of the eight Cards, are newcomers. The veterans are Mel Ott of the Giants, and Billy Herman of the Dodgers, who will be playing in their tenth classic since the "dream game" was started in 1933.

All the proceeds will be turn ed over to the National War Fund, Inc., which helps support 16 war charities. Another war relief day will Haegg Too Good to Draw Crowd to Chicago Meet CHICAGO, July 1 (P) Mid westerners whose curiosity about Gunder Haegg, the Swedish run ning phenomenon, has been stirred up by his invasion of the United States, get their chance to see him in action tomorrow night in the Central Amateur Athletic union meet. ' But track fans haven't become over-enthusiastic about the program and it's doubtful if mammoth Soldier field will feel much of a bulge. Owing to reports that during a race the only thing Haegg wor ries about catching is his breath, the local track fans feel it's only a gesture the Central AAU peo ple are making in sending Gil Dodds, Jerry Thompson, Forrest Efaw and Roy Phillips onto the track at the same time Haegg un winds his legs.

At Brooklyn, before a crowd of 28,893 that was mesmerized by the tenor solos of Dixie Walk er, the Dodgers handcuffed the Cincinnati Reds twice 5-0 and 11-5. This boosted Brooklyn half a game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National league standings. Although the Cards retained a slender percentage advantage of dividing a double header with the New York Giants. Mort Cooper, appearing in relief, was beaten in the tenth inning of the first game 4-3, but Lefty Howie Pollet pitched a six-hit 5-0 shutout in the second session. The Chicago Cubs captured two games at Boston 6-2 and 5-2.

Not in quite that swift order, however. He was ohly 9 when he salvaged the putter, and he was 21 yesterday when he won the National Collegiate Athletic association's 46th golf tourna ment at Olympia Fields, repre senting Carleton college at Northfield, Minn. He put a little school on the nation's collegiate golfing map for the first time, for in all pre vious NCAA meets it has been players from the Ivy league, Big Ten, Pacific Coast and Southern conferences who cop ped the laurels. It led one of the locker room gang to remark it's fellows like Wally Ulrich who become ma rines and help the United States get back on some portions of the map where it's been missing recently. For Ulrich becomes a marine private at Oberlin col lege in Ohio today. Bill Roden, the good-natured, red-haired Texas university senior who lost to Ulrich in yesterday's final, 4 and 2, drew a lot of praise, too, for the way he conducted himself through this star-laden tourney to the finals. Roden also goes into the marines shortly. lieutenant to captain, he cele brated in the guard house. Rea son: He was officer of the day. . . . Lieut.
