Tarn O'Shanter Golf Circus Has Everything - Joe Louis, Three Tourneys War Stamps. Prizes By CHARLES DUNKLEY CHICAGO, July 23 (&) The lupcr-duper golfing triple-header at Tarn O'Shanter is on the way of setting fabulous records. The spectacle is attracting the biggest assemblage of spectators In the history of the ancient Scottish game, and also figures to result in the greatest war stamp selling drive credited to any sport. To date more than $400,000 in war bonds have been sold, with three more days to go. The goal is $1,000,000 in bonds and $100, 000 in war stamps. Admission to this amazing car nival is $1 or more in war stamps which the purchaser retains. The total attendance may reach 75,000 to 100,000. This circus-like event is gold on a stupendous scale. It is three tournaments in one, lasting a full week, where the best ama teurs, professional and women players now available can be seen at one and the same time, and on the same course, in com petition for $12,000 in cash and' bonds. Thrown In for good measure Is the world's heavyweight box ing champion, Sgt Joe Louis, playing as a legitimate entrant and not as a sideshow attraction.

Illini Silenced On Army Trainee Grid Playing CHAMPAIGN, 111., July 23 OP) Once and for all they've silenced that moaning on the University of Illinois campus about "What a football team we'd have if only the army would let its trainees here play on the team." The uni versity physical education de partment queried all 1750 of the army boys and found only five had ever played college football P. S. One of the five is Bob Shaw, Ohio State's great end last year.

NEW YORK. July 23 (P) Proving both that he is literate and that he knows a good idea when he sees one, Willie Gilzen berg, Tony Galer.to's manager, comes through with a letter just like the ones Jimmy Johnston writes. . . . Willie takes this way of accepting a challenge from Jimmy's heavyweight, Freddie Fiducia, so there's ground for suspicion that Johnston helped write the letter. . . . "Everyone challenges Galento, even wrest lers," moans Gilzenberg's type writer. . . . "Yet few fight him, or agree to do so. They ought to leave the poor fellow alone. He's obese, he's squeaking, he can't lift his hands and he can't move." . . . Agreeing with all those statements, we're perfectly will ing to leave Tony alone, but for one fact that Willie points out: "T. G. does all right to the ex tent of a grand note a week as a master exhibitionist. OFF HIS BASE During the Cubs' recent east ern swing Lou Novikoff swung at a bad pitch, somewhere around his right ear, and drove it to the outfield for a single. . .

Boston Braves May All Be Cripples Before St. Louis CHICAGO, July 23 (P) Man ager Casey Stengel of the Boston Braves will have company in his crutches-walking tours when he takes his team to St. Louis to morrow. For his first baseman, John McCarthy, suffered an "in complete, fracture" of his right ankle bone in yesterday's first game against the Chicago Cubs. Stengel suffered a broken leg early this season when hit by an automobile. Hugh I S?x ruUsrton. Jr.T f I 3IUilailnplr PAGE EIGHT Red Birds Chirp Over Bad Pitching Injuries No Sympathy for Champs Now Leading Nationals by Margin of Five Games By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Prsss Sports Wrltsr Some plaintive chirping has been coming from tha -nest of the St. Louis Cardinals in recent days because of their stricken pitching staff, which has been badly maimed by injuries and calls to the service. But their National league rivals probably will be slow to show any sympathy for the world champions, who have just won four games in a row and increased their first place margin to 5V games. The Cardinals came up with another victory over the New York Giants last night 6-2 with big Mort Cooper acquiring his 13th victory against five defeats by pitching eight-hit ball and holding the Giants scoreless after the first Inning. George (Whitcy) Kurowski hit a homer with two aboard in the first and Ray Sanders added another round-tripper in the sixth. The cause of the Cardinals was helped at Cincinnati as Bucky Walters shut out the Brooklyn Dodgers 5-0 on three hits to get his fifth victory, a prize he has been seeking since June 11. The Dodgers' grip on second place was left unshaken, how ever, because the Philadelphia Pnillies bounced off the floor to wallop the third-place Pitts burgh Pirates 3-0 and 9-6 in a doubleheadcr. The Boston Braves, who had not beat the Chicago Cubs all season, also turned the tables with a double victory 8-6 and 3-2. In the American league the New York Yankees out-walloped the St. Louis Browns to win 9-5 with Charley (King Kong) Keller hitting his 12th homer with two on for the Yanks and Vern Stephens getting his 14th with one on for the Browns. Detroit downed the Washing ton Senators twice in a twilight-night doubleheader 7-5 and 1-0. Rudy York's 13th home run and second in two nights came with two on in the sixth inning to win the first game. Cleveland was outhit 7-5 but managed to beat the Philadel phia Athletics 2-1 by scoring twice in the fifth. Jim Bagby smothered the A's after they had scored once in the first. Chicago at Boston was post poned. Weekend Fishing Prospects PORTLAND, July 23 OP) Fishermen should have better luck in waters of eastern and coastal Oregon than in the Wil lamette valley this weekend, the state game commission's weekly bulletin indicated today. Reports by counties: Lane Best angling In Mc Kenzie and Willamette river Lakes only fair. Siuslaw salmon run has not started. Coos Blueback run on in Co quille river. Other streams and lakes fair. Curry Rogue river better for trout and salmon but fishing gen erally only fair. Lincoln Alsea, Slletz and Salmon rivers yielding blue backs. Trout are being taken from all streams on flics. Tillamook Several good catches of large . trout reported with flies giving best results. Jackson Rogue good for trout, fair for salmon. W a s c o Deschutes yielding fair catches on flies and bait. Lower White river and Lower Badger creek best of small streams- Klamath T r o 1 1 e r s report many limits from Upper Klam ath and Agency lakes. Odell and Crescent lakes good for fly fishing.

UNHAPPY HOLE IN ONE SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 23 OP) Claude Hersch drove his tee shot .120 yards, straight into the cup on the 16th, green at El Camino. He wasn't quite happy about it, though. He'd already driven one ball into a ravine. His holc-in-onc gave him a score of three. Quinine is extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree, . ' July 23. 1943 First Coast Teams Bow To Seconds Rainiers Fall to Stars 3-2; Ducks Lose to Oaks 2-1; Padres Down Seals 3-2 By Th AstecisUd Prsss The Coast league first division, with the exception of the Los Angeles Angels, who were idle, put on a tumbling act yester day, Portland, Seattle and San Francisco all bowing to the bats of second division rivals. The Los Angeles-Sacramento gamo was postponed. Wildness on tha part of Joe Dcmoran cost the Rainiers their contest with the Hollywood Stars by a 3-2 score. The Stars scored first on a homer in the fourth by John Dickshot. Seattle tied it up In the fifth on two singles and an error. In the seventh, however, De moran gave up two hits, hit a batter and walked in a run with the bases loaded to give the Stars two runs for the inning. Bill Matheson's homer for Seattle in tho last half of the inning couldn't close the gap. Portland lost a 2-1 decision to Oakland when the Oaks, counted twice in the last inning to spoil a two-hit shutout for Portland s Pitcher Cook. In that inning Scarsclla sin gled and went to third on De- vincenzi's double. Bell struck out but Caufield singled home the ticing and winning runs be fore Portland could shut the door with a double play. San Diego downed San Fran cisco 3 to 2, although the Seals had rallied for their two runs in the ninth inning and had the tielng run on base when a dou ble play put out. the fire.

Mast In Baseball Conflict Batwatn Klamath, Medford By VIRGIL GROSS Led by peppery Manager Frank Ramsey, the Pelican base ball machine will again start rolling after a week's layoff, when they Journey this Sunday into the valley to tackle the strong Medford Craters, a form er Oregon State league member. Both teams have many out standing semi-pro players, and the Craters alone boast two ex professional stars ovhlch should ba a highlight In Sunday's en counter. The Pelicans will un doubtedly bo seeking revengo for several last year setbacks, so a closo game is expected. Probable mound rivals will ba Jim Snyder, newly acquired Pelican southpaw artist, oppos ing Bob Hardy of the Craters. Hardy was with tho Portland Beavers of the Coast league at the start of this season, but an old arm injury prevented his playing. He was formerly a Uni versity of Oregon pitching star, and played with Beaumont of the Texas league In 1942. Another former professional star on the Crater roster Is hard hitting Jim Ball who perform ed for the Vancouver Capilanos of tho Western International league in 1942. Ball Is a catch er and should provide a major ity of the stick work for the Craters. Leading 'Pelican hitters 1 in games played to dato include Floyd Shlpman, Romo Crespl, Hi "Schaact" Hatfield and Red Mllhorn. All of these boys are in the .300 or better class, and may be counted on to supply the main Pelican offensive punch. Ab Cox of the Camp Newell army team, having been con tacted by Pelican Business Man ager Pete Lesmeister, will make the trip to Medford. Cox has been playing a great brand of shortstop for the army team, and should be of great help to the Pelicans in their Sunday encounter. Last year's pitching ace Vir gil Haines,, has recovered from a tonsilectomy operation and may be ready for mound duty. Pelican Second Baseman Scotty Smith will be playing his last game before leaving for the marines. Many baseball fans from Klamath Fells are ex-1 pected to see Scotty in his fare well appearance.

Oreqon Sport Notes By FRED HAMPSON Associatsd Prsss Stslf Writer Without going Into that thread bare subject did Jimmy Gar rison deserve a draw decision with Rudolfo Ramirez in their welterweight battle In Portland last week? wo can't get rid of a feeling that tho projected bout between Garrison and Henry Armstrong is going to be consid erable of an ordeal for Jimmy. Whether Ramirez deserved to win or not, there Is no disputing- that ho gave Garrison a fancy messing up Garrison is susceptible to messing up. Even when ho wins he takes many scars away with him. And you know whnt Henry the Hammer docs to guys like that. Ramirez flatted Jimmy's al ready recumbent nose, split open one eyebrow, puffed his Hps and severely cut tho inside of his mouth principally with a sharp left hand. Old perpetual mo tion Henry works with both hands and very seldom calls a recess. ' This Is not to say that Gar rison didn't put up a swell fight against Ramirez or that ho won't fight like a Tropan against Arm strong. We have no doubts at all that he will. But he chops up too easily. And Henry has no parallel as a chopper. Tho pitcher drawing the fat test money nowadays is not in the major leagues or even in or ganized baseball.
