Arne Anderson, Sweden's new
est mile record-breaker, is due
to try for another Gunder
Haegg's records tomorrow and
this time the track fans here
abouts will be ready. . . . 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 . . . Then there's
22-year-old Rune Gustafson, runner-up
to Andersson last week
in 4:04.6 he's the boy Haegg's
handlers consider the real pros
pect in Sweden 20-year-old
Arne Ahlsen, Oke and Arthur
Johnson and Harold Kalarne,
who all have done 1500 in about
3:49. . . . Gil Dodds, America's
best miler, set his own record
for 1500 at 3:50.2 in winning this
year's national title.
WHERE'S THE PLATE?
Discussing some of the young

unearthed a yarn about Charles
Comiskey's pitching career to
prove that the modern kids have
fairly good control. . . The "Old
Roman," one of the game's
greatest first basemen, broke in
as a hurler with lots of speed
and not much else ... 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.

Despite Luck
All That Remains It far
Horses to Be Drafted Out
Of 50-Day Turf Season
Br ED CREAGH
CAMDEN, N. 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. .

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

the Senators. Both teams collect

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

game.

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.
Laabs, whose hot hitting
streaks in mid- summer are no
rarity, drove in all four of St.
Louis' runs and collected his

Modest About
Flying Cross
PORTLAND, July 7 P)
First Lieut. John A. 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."

First, that the Lai Angeles at

Second, that the rare distance
would be two mites, although a
