5 UdUtnIm PAGE EIGHT Sports Criefs h FnlUrtea, Jr.t- NEW YORK. July 15 P The AAU handbook probably won't list any new broad jumping rec ords established by sports writers in July, 1843, but from here it seems that the boys have made some remarkably long leaps at conclusions about what Branch Rickey would say to Jeo Durocher and vice versa ... We don't know what "de revolution' in Brooklyn amounted to, nor what Leo actually said about : signing, but anybody who gave the matter a serious second thought realized that Rickey would have to stand back of his manager as long as possible. SHORT THOUGHT ' Rickey was laid up yesterday with indigestion. . . . Wonder if he swallowed some of those stories about the Dodgers? Or some of Durocher's words? . . ... Or maybe his own pride? ONE-MINUTE SPORTS PAGE ' If Gundor Haegg returns to Sweden by plane instead of by tanker, he'll likely make his fare well appearance at Yankee sta dium about August 21 instead of at New Orleans. And he may try for a mile record at Prince ton as a build-up for the last show. ... Louis Angel Firpo plans to send his amateur heavy weight, Abel Cestac, to the Unit ed States this fall in hopes of building him into a heavyweight title contender. Rancher Firpo says he's had an invitation from Jack Dempsey, but the fight mob might appreciate it more if he left Cestac at home and shipped a couple of steers instead . . . .

Brazle to Try Heaving For Cardinals SACRAMENTO, July 15 VP) Al Brazle, Sacramento" pitcher who recently set a Pacific Coast league record by twirling 40 scoreless innings, will, see what he can do to the major league record books. ' He will report to the St. Louis Cardinals Monday to fill a gap left in the National league club's pitching staff when Howard Pollette entered the army. President Phil Martelme of the Sacramento club, a Cardinal chain, said that as yet "nothing had been done about transfer ring the franchise of the Coast league outfit to Spokane, Wash. He so quoted Sam Breadon, owner of the St. Louis outfit. - Reports of an Impending transfer had been prevalent in Coast league circles because of expressed dissatisfaction with Sacramento baseball attendance. f ' wit T v $ Oreqon Sport Notes By FRED HAMPSON , Associated Press Staff Writer Dog racing, a top-ranking pas time to its devotees but other wise considered a sort of poor relation to horse racing, is doing much better in the Pacific north west than its more patrician rela tive. The major horse racing plant, Longacres at Seattle, didn't even get a season this year. On the other hand the principal dog corral, Multnomah stadium in Portland, reaps a golden harvest. So far the gross betting figure has climbed 50 per cent over the take at this point last year and Bobo May Go Back to Americans Newsom to Get Job Pitching St. Louis Browns to Flog; Traded From Burnt ST. LOUIS, July 15 (P) Louis' (Bobo) Newsom is coming back to his American league alma mater possibly. If he reports, he 11 get the job of pitching the St. Louis Browns to the pennantaThat s what Man ager Luke Sewell asserts, and Sewell is convinced Newsom will join the club regardless of tne ex-uoagers statement in New York that: "I don't want to play in St. Louis. I won't play in St Louis!" Sewell just smiles and says: "I believe Newsom will be a big help in winning the pennant." Manager Luke Sewell stoutly avers. "Our hitting is getting better. With a fine pitcher like Bobo in there, we should climb fast." Bulky Bobo was traded by the Brooklyn Dodgers to the Browns yesterday in return for relief pitchers Fred Ostermueller and Archie McKain. - He brings with him an impressive record of nine victories and four losses against combined record of one win and three setbacks registered for St Louis by the Dodgers new properties. Sewell said Don Barnes, presi dent and William O. DeWltt, vice president and general man ager, negotiated the trade in the east with his full approval. Sewell expects no trouble from Newsom, whose suspension caused the Dodgers' rebellion against Leo Durocher last Satur day, he said. "I can't say how Newsom will behave with the club because I don't know the gentleman per sonally. I do know he's a fine competitor and a fine pitcher. We need both qualities. We want to win the pennant I think we can with Newsom." New Record- Hole in One Three Times MILWAUKEE. July 1SP) Bud Fritson sliced his first two shots into the rough on the 16th hole at Whitnall yesterday. His third was a beauty, straight to the green; so he tried another, and it landed on the green, too. Fritsch then hunted and found his two "slicers,' but not those that had landed. Then a partner looked in the cup, and there was one ball; another part ner found the other in the prac tice cup. . Fritsch wound up with a 104, but his "ace three" was worth 100 strokes to him, he said. ' more shipyard workers are dis covering the track daily. There will be double' reaction in the baseball lots to Giant Man ager Mel Ott's recent reprimand of Joe Orengo for unsuccessfully trying to steal third base. Joe explained that he saw Catcher Al Lopez of Pittsburgh signal a slow ball and thought he could make it. Reported Ott, I'll do the thinking for this club, you follow the signals." . ' . This was the McGraw phil osophy and McGraw made it pay off, sometimes. But he had many failures and some of his critics blamed them on his effort at 100 per cent control of his players. Bob Quinn, 14-year coach at Eastern Oregon College of Edu cation, told Nolan Skiff of the Pendleton East Oregonian that he held little hope of a football team this year. Maybe not even a ba&etball team. . Schools of that size don't have enough 17-year-olds and 4-Fs for football and at the moment he isn't sure of enough for basketball. - ' Training tables have been put in storage for the duration in the Pacific Coast Football confer ence, Coach John Warren ,of Oregon disclosed on his return to Eugene. from the, Coast con ference meeting in San Fran cisco. That's one free ride the athletes and their enormous ap petites won't get this year. The schools will continue to supply railroad tickets, he said.
