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.

the team, after a conference with
League President Ford Frick.
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

since the "dream game" was
started in 1933.

CHICAGO, July 1 (P) Mid
westerners whose curiosity about
Gunder Haegg, the Swedish run

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

the local track fans feel it's only
a gesture the Central AAU peo

At Brooklyn, before a crowd

by the tenor solos of Dixie Walk

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

NEW YORK, July 1 0P) Just
to start something, what was the
fastest nine-inning baseball game
ever played? . . . The major lea
gue record stands at 51 minutes
by the Giants and Phillies in
1919, but we've just come across
a . game played by Mobile and
Atlanta on September 19, 1910,
which was finished In exactly
32 minutes. . . . Summary of
Columbia football prospects by
Athletic Director Ralph Furey:
"We still have our schedule; we
still have our coach; we still
have our field and we hope
next fall we will have some
players to go with them."
RECLASSIFIED
During the Pirates' .batting
practice the other day, a ground
er took a bad hop and smacked
First Baseman Elbie Fletcher on
the left ear. . . . Manager Frank
Frisch hurried down to first ask
ing, "Are you all right, Elgie?"
. . . "I'm still 3-A," replied Fletch
er as he ruefully rubbed his
ear, "but for a minute I thought
I was 4-F."
SCRAP COLLECTION
It took Frank Kelleher, Syra
cuse outfielder, a full year to
hit a single in the Buffalo ball
park. During his 1942 appear
ances and until June 24, 1943,
he socked nothing but doubles
and homers there. . , Nat Fleisch
er's personal copy of his ring
record book is getting quite a
workout these days. Nat gets an
average of 40 letters a day from
service men and most of them
want him to settle arguments
about boxing. . . . And did you
know that Monday will be the
ninth anniversary of Joe Louis'
debut as a pro fighter?

Golf Title
Carleton Man Puts Small
School on Links Map for
First Time; Joins Marines
CHICAGO. July 1 UP) Wally
Ulrich found a junked putter
in an ash can in Austin, Minn.,
liked the' game of golf so well
he invested $4.87 in a set of
mail order house clubs and be
came the national intercollegi
ate links champion.
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.
