giving her favorito sport full
credit for Its war contribution).
Sait year the W1UC bought
ombar piano for the air

thereby giving Capt. William
Chum and Sgt. William More
head something of an advan

tion and recently returned to
Dayton, O., for a checkup , , .
The glrU found thc-y had some
money left over, so they bought
an ambulance which will be
presented to the army soon,
probably at Columbus, O.
Impreaaive as t h e e figures
look, what really atlra Mrs. Mc
Clatchey'a enthusiasm la the
fact that large part of the
money comet from pennies
opped In the "kitty for

War full? . . . Branch Rickey
says he crosses his bridges when

Into any more incidents like

Associated Press Bports Writer
The Bums' rush Is on in
Brooklyn for fair and this time
(he heave-ho Is about to go to
Joseph Michael (Muscles) Med
wick, the once celebrated out
fielder whose usefulness to the
Dodgers, like that of Loula.Nor
mun (Bobo) Ncwsom, apparent
ly has come to an end.
When the ball club left New
York last night for a three
weeki trip away from the
stormy scene of insurrection at
Ebbeta Field, Medwick wat loft
at home. .
Although the maneuver was
shrouded In mystery by club
officials, no mirrors wore need
ed to see behind the veil of
Branch Rickey's house-cleaning.
Having moved to wipe out the
rebellion against Manager Leo
Durocher by trading Newsom
to the St. Louis Browns for two
antiquated pitchers. Fritz Ostcr
mucller and Archie McKaln,
Rlckoy hat 26 players on his
roster, over the limit, and
was compelled to get rid of an
other man.
His choice of Medwick was
connected only indirectly with
the rebellion. Rickey had been
trying to dispose of him ever
since becoming president of the
Dodgers last November. He
didn't like the temperament of
the famous slugger, who never
batted lest than .300 In 12 sea
sons with the St. Louis Cardi
nals and Brooklyn and who had
been the National league's bat
ting champion and most valu
able player In 1037. '
Last night Durocher vlmply
announced that Medwick had
been given "permission" to re
main at home and that an ex
planation probably would be
forthcoming today after the
game with the Brave. Rickey's
office said he would bo out of
town today. '
The Dodgers, while Idle, even
gained half gome on -the Card
Inals, who were whipped 4-3 at
Pittsburgh last night.
The Chicago Cubs bunched
five runt In the third and three
In the eighth to crush the .Cin
cinnati Reda 8-0 behind the four
hit hurling of Hiram Bithorn.
The Phillies pounded, a 0-1
victory out of the New York
Giant at Dick (Kcwpie) Bar
rett, formerly of Seattle, pitched
steady seven-hit ball, The only
run against him waa a homer
by Buster Maynard.
In the American league Qrval
Grove attained his eighth tri
umph without defeat by pitch
ing five-hit ball as the Chicago
White Sox downed the Detroit
Tigcra 7-4.
Washington whipped the Bos
ton Red Sox .4-3 with Bob John
ton driving In three, runs, two
of them on a homer.
The St. Louis Brownt stopped
the Cleveland Indians 2-1 in
the only game played in day
light. A home-run by Vernon
Tephent, .hit thirteenth, account
ed for both Brownie runt.
There are now approximately
400 typet of aircraft used by tho

Rush
Gil Dodds May Hustle
"Four-Minute Mile" at
r SAN FRANCISCO, July 16 (fa
Gundor Haogg's decision to run,
the mile here tomorrow really
started something.
It's got the boys wondering
about the chances of forolng the
Swedish speedster to round the
four laps at Kezar stadium at a
time close to the mythical "four
minute mile."
The background Is entirely fa
vorable for a crack at the unof
ficial world record.
Haegg hasn't had to hustle In
his previous American races; no
one could approach him in the
longer distances.

he has chalked up a 4:08.5 for

Moreoverr John D. Fulton of

miler in his high school days.
Haegg has run' the mile in

cently lowered his countryman's
unofficial world record by two
seconds, so if Haegg needs any
further Incentive, there it is.

In a recent letter Benham
writes: "I am playing in a semi
pro league here that it undoubt
edly the fastest In the country.
All the sports writers tay It is
as good at the class A Texas
league. I started against the
third place club and won my
first assignment by a 9 to 4
score, but haven't had much
success of late, losing my last
start against Sid Hudson, for
mer Washington Senator.
"We are now engaged in the
Houston Post ' tournament
that will net the winning team
between (5000 and $10,000, and
we will enter another before the
year is over."
Benham continues, "We have
a catcher who tat on the Cleve
land bench for 10 years and was
a relief catcher for Luke Sewell
Glenn Myat Other major
leaguers or former major leag
uers and ex-Coast leaguers in
clude.- Birdie - Tebbeta, Bruce
Campbell, Hoot Evert, Enot
Slaughter and Let Fleming."
All of these boys are in this
league, so one can imagine the
competition between the teams.
He also states that Birdie Teb
beta Is without a doubt the best
catcher he has ever teen. -
