3 ttMEmp PAGE TWO Chicago scribes tell this one on Jimmy Dykes, who is carrying on his feud with umpires in a neaceful manner this season It seems Jimmy wasn't satisfied with the umps" observation of a rather indefinite rule banning quick returns by pitchers, so he clipped the item out of his book and posted it in the umpires' dressing room. ... A few daysj later Dykes thought one of the Philadelphia pitchers was mak ing quick returns so he started shouting at Bill Summers about it. . . "What do you know about quick returns?" Summers came back, "that rule isn't in your book." . . . "And it isn i eimer. Dykes ruefully admitted as he displayed the mutnatea page.

July 19, 1943 May Bosses As Tarn Golf Party Opens "remoter Threats to Oust Wehrle if Wisconsin Star Passes Up Starting Tilts By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO, July 19 (IP) The All-American amateur, first of three golfing flings in the Tarn O'Shanter tee party, had barely started today when George S. May, the club's super promoter, issued an edict that his ideas of running the tournament were not to be questioned. Wilford Wehrle, the Racine, Wis., star, asked May for per mission to drop out of the ama teur meet so he could devote all his attention to the Ail American open. May threatened to disqualify him should he come through among the 64 qualifiers today and tomorrow and then default his first round match so he could compete only in the open- 'This business of counting your medal score in the open while you are competing in match play of the amateur is all screwy," said Wehrle. "I am shooting the best golf of my life and I wanted to see how well I really could do against such fellows as Byron Nelson without having to play in .two tourna ments at once." Wehrle posted a practice round of 70 yesterday, marking the first time he has been out of the 60's in 11 consecutive rounds. ' But with May dousing- this little flare up with a steadfast ness that recalled last year's "numbers game" in which he insisted the pros wear identify cation tags or be disqualified, the 1943 tournament moved ahead with 260 players jamming the course in the first round of their 36-hble qualifying test. Bill Gordon, the Tarn pro, predicted a pair of 78's would win a berth, and Sgt. Joe Louis, for one. was convinced he could punch those figures. There was a minimum of name players in the vast assemblage since many former stars. Include ing Lieut. Bud Ward, the 1942 champion, were unable to obtain leaves. Frank Stranahan, of Toledo, one of the favorites, withdrew his entry today for that reason. . - . Hollywood Manager, Charley Root, Signed For Another Year HOLLYWOOD, July 19 (IP) Ten wins and three defeats have won a new contract for Mana ger Charley Root of the Pacific Coast league s Hollywood Stars. Root, who also functions in the pitcher's box, was signed for 1944 on the field yesterday, dur ing the Stars' doubleheader with Portland, and Hollywood's busi ness manager, Oscar Reichow disclosed also that Root will get more money. Root succeeded Oscar Vitt last spring. s V, 3 41 --, r,T JLX is'": A Haegg Fails To Cut His Mile Record Rambling Swede Betters Dodds In Keiar; Warmy Soar High In Pol Vault SAN FRANCISCO, July 19 () Gundar Haegg still has one more chance on his current American tour to do what he didn't Satur day crack the record for the mile race. The Swedish runner delighted a crowd of some 13,000 with his rhythmic rambling in Kezar stadium, but he failed by more than seven seconds to even equal his own mile mark of 4:04-8. The time was 4:12.3. Only consolation tor Haegg, if he needed any, was that he came in ahead of Gil Dodds of Boston, the American 1S00 meters (met ric mile) champion, by a good 25 yards. Bobby Madrid of Fresno was third, and John Ful ton of Stanford, a lagging fourth. Heagg s performance brought comment that he appeared to ease up after running the first half-mile in 2:01, behind Dodds. On the other hand, R. L. (Dink) Templeton, noted track and field authority, came away with the belief the Swedish fireman was capable not only of the mythical four mile minute, but could reach 3:53 for the distance. He is the nearest thing to perfection I ever have laid eyes on," said Templeton, now coacn- ing at University of San Fran cisco. Haegg and Dodds left by piano yesterday for Boston, where Gunder will make his second and probably -last assault on tha mile record in his tour for the benefit of the Army Air Forces Aid society. Dodds served no tice he would make Haegg "real ly run" in his home city- Ensign Cornelius warmeraam of Del Monte navy pre-flight. high-lighted the remainder of the program at Kezar with his 41st and 42nd pole vaults over the 15-foot marker. His peak was 15 feet 3 inches. Portlanders Get Spots on Stars Team PORTLAND, July 19 W) - Portland players won every pos ition on the all-star team select ed after the annual state semi pro baseball tournament, Nine of the 16 players selected were members of the second- place Portland Firemen- Rules limiting selection to amateurs only, prevented Camp Adair players, who won the state title, from being named. Most of the Camp Adair players are former professionals. Tournament officials, how ever, awarded these additional ratings: Best infielder, Barney Koch, Portland Firemen; best outfield er, Paul Armstrong, Camp Adair; best catcher, Frank Roelandt, Portland Firemen; best pitcher, Jack Knott, Camp Adair; best hitter, tie between Dean Frye and Beau Bell, Camp Adair. Bunion Derby Competitor Fails To Set Record EUGENE. July lflUPl Adam Ziegler, 59-year-old ex-Grants Pass bunion derby runner, failed Saturday night in an attempt to set a world record for the 100- mile run. He started out trans frnm tha Eugene citv hall on the fint 1 of a triangular course to Cor- vauis, Aipany ana back to Eu gene- . -After a few miles he stontwd for a glass of milk, which had been carefully salted and boiled. His pace slowed thereafter from 7i to S miles per hour. At June tion City, 10 miles from Eugene, he had a second slaaa of mlllr and cramps forced him to quit snoruy.

"Riders of the 1 mffl tMHk MAY I'M "Lady1" From II Chun9kln9' I 5 Brooklyn housewives storm dime tax, entitled them to National League Standings Hung Up by "Anti-stalling" Rule; Yanks Still By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer This season may come to be remembered as the one in which a certified public ac countant couldn't figure out the National league standings on any given day. Right now there are no fewer than four "suspended games" in the senior circuit which must be played to completion at some future date. Two of them already have been entered in the standings as won and lost for the teams Involved, the other two have not. Yesterday Pennsylvania's Sunday curfew halted the sec ond game of a doubleheader at Pittsburgh after seven innings with the world champion St. Louis Cardinals leading 6-5. Un der ordinary baseball rules this would have become a victory for the Redbirds as soon as play ceased. But the National league passed an "anti-stalling" rule last winter which said that con tests halted before the end of nine innings because of curfews must later be played to com pletion. So, instead of a victory for the Cards, who earlier in the day had whipped the Pirates 7-4 for Mort Cooper's 12th tri umph, the game simply entered a state of suspended animation until September 1, the -date agreed upon for its conclusion. At Boston the Massachusetts Sunday curfew stopped the sec ond contest between the braves and Brooklyn Dodgers in the midst of a Boston rally in the sixth Inning. The Braves had just scored three runs to tie the count at 4-4 and had tne Dases loaded with one out when play was halted. That will be the sit uation when play is resumed at Hutchinson, Beau Jack to Throw Leather PHILADELPHIA, July 19 (IP) The boys around Broad and Lo cust streets are betting 12 to 5 that Johnny Hitchinson, who put a bright polish on Bob Montgom ery's ring performance, can't cut his way through the leather that Beau Jack is ready to throw in Shibe park tonight. They're discounting the Cor-bett-like boxing skill of the 20-year-old former Australian light weight and middleweight cham pion in favor of the flailing fists that brought Jack, 22, to the top of the national lightweight col umn. And with nearly $25,000 al ready in the till. Promoter Her man Taylor estimates that 20,- 000 persons will pay approxi mately $50,000 to see if the for mer Augusta, Ga., shoeshine boy can take the first big hurdle on the road back. Summer driving uses twice the tire mileage of winter driv ing due to heat.

Chase Toward Flag an unspecified later date. The Dodgers bagged the first game 8-5 in 11 innings. The American league has no such rule and everything show ing in the standings today will count -very likely toward an other pennant for the New York Yankees. The Yanks yesterday swept a doubleheader from the Phila delphia Athletics to extend their winning streak to .pight games and 12 victories in their last 13 starts. Bill Johnson's three-run homer helped wrap up the first decision 7-2 for Ern ie Bonham and the Yanks struggled to a 4-3 verdict in ten innings in the nightcap for Spud Chandler's lltb win. Washington, in second place, kept the pace by taking two games from the Boston Red Sox 8-2 and 5-4. The Cleveland In dians subdued the St. Louis Browns twice 4-3 and 10-7.
