Since Arne's 4:02.6 mile last week they've heard a lot about various Swedish steppers, including An- dersson, who has run 1500 me ters in 3:48.6, a half mile in 1:50.8, 3000 meters in 8:11.4 and 5000 in 14:18.2 . . .

In his first game in the old American associ ation in 1882, the unidentified reporter relates, he beaned three Columbus players and after the game Chris von Der Ahe, owner of the St. Louis club, advised him to quit pitching before he was arrested.

J July 7 W Prayed against. Inveighed against, even OPA'ed against. Garden State park opens today for 50 days of racing, and about the only other thing that could happen would be for all the horses to be drafted. White-haired Eugene Mori, the Vineland, N. J., banker who built the nation's newest racing grounds last spring, estimated with crossed fingers that 12.000 improvers of the breed would be at the trouble-ridden, freshly manicured park. Last year a neighborhood clergymen led his congregation in prayer that rain would delay completion of the grounds. This year the office of price adminis tration besides ruling custom ers off the highways under the pleasure' driving ban denied fuel for the association's tractors, scoop shovel and the like. But Garden State opened last year with 31,000 who wagered $569,000 and, using fuel "on hand," hiring 50 women among the 400 pari-mutirel operators, conveying the faithful by horse-and-wagon from the nearest bus' stops, it's set again today. Whether the year's influx of war workers into the Philadelphia-Camden area would have any medicinal effect on the park association's ledgers was a ques tion that didn't seem to bother the jauntily dressed Mori.. "We'll wait until after the war for any dividends," he said. . Oregon Sport Notes By. FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer Short takes from sport pages of Oregon: It has now been pretty close to a month since Don Johnson, the former Jefferson high school speedballer of Portland, has pitched a no-hit game. His last perfect job was for the Albina team in the Portland Junior Le gion league at the expense of Commerce. It was about his sixth. Harry Leeding, the veteran Oregon Journal tower lighter, departs shortly for the marine corps via the draft. Sportsmen in Portland tendered him a go-ing-away dinner . which seems more than fitten' since Harry, at his own expense, underwent a hernia operation to make him self draft material.

The busy Portland Beavers meanwhile made hay in Sacra mento in the league's second game, with a 3-2 victory over the Senators. Both teams collect ed seven hits. Brilliant relief pitching by Jack Wilson, who went in in the seventh to shut out a threatened Sacramento rally and struck out four men in two and ttoo-thirds Innings, was the feature of the game. The Rainiers committed but one error in their game at San Diego but that one spelled defeat for stocky Pete Jonas. Shortstop Joe Dobbins threw wild to first in the fourth inning putting Jack Whipple on first. Then a walk, a sacrifice and an outfield flyout gave the Padres an unearned run and as it turned out the game. Today the entire league swings Into action again, with Oakland at Los Angeles, Hollywood at San Francisco, and Portland and Seattle continuing their series with Sacramento and San Diego.

' One of the top compliments ever paid a major league pitch er was that voiced by Gus Man cuso for old Carl Hubbell: "When they hit him they really deserve those hits. He doesn't make a mistake but once and being around 15 years, he made all his mistakes a long time ago." " ' - The National Boxing associa tion ruled some time ago that Tony Galento's bouts from now on will be regarded strictly as entertainment, not boxing. Judg ing from reports trickling over the wire from many points a few of the boys refuse to re gard them as entertainment. - ' Just when Portland sports writers decide that the Port land Beavers constituted a good road team and a punk home club, the team launched a home- field winning streak that carried it to third place, then went on the road and did a nose dive.

Yanks Control American Chase; Three Games Up New Yorkers Only Foolin' Last Week When They Lost pour Western Tilts By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer Next to trying to find a good steak the biggest waste of time a baseball fan can indulge in is worrying about the New York Yankees. The American league cham pions went west a week ago and lost four games in a row. They nearly skidded out of first place and they caused some hasty comments to the effect that maybe the McCarthymen were n't miraclemen after all. , What it amounted, however. was that the Yankees were just teasing their rivals. By way of proving that they were only fooling the champs have won three games in the last two days and suddenly zoomed back to a three-game lead. They whacked out a 5-4 de cision over the St. Louis Browns last night to give Marius Russo, the sore-arm southpaw, his first victory of the season and ac complished the stunt in spite of the super-heated hitting of Chet Laabs.

Gilpin, a former Oregon State college track man, apparently doesn't think he deserved his Distin guished Flying Cross. Ho won It in North Africa as navigator of a bomber leading a formation of 18 planes. An anti-aircraft shell exploded in his compartment, wounding him. The citation praised him for con cealing his injuries until the mis sion was completed. "All I did was refuse first aid until after we had bombed the target," he told newsmen yester day. "We all flew through the same stuff and everyone was just as scared as everyone else. If one man deserves a medal for that sort of thing, every man over there rates one."
