Haegg Fools Around Four Minute Mile Sunder Tumi In 4:05.3 at Harvard Sunday; facing Machine May Do Trick By TED MEIER NEW YORK, July 26 (IP) Gunder Haegg, who set an Amer ican outdoor record for the mile of 4:08.3 at Harvard stadium Sat urday, eould turn In that much discussed four-minute mile If he ran with a pacing machine. That Is the considered opinion of Lawson Robertson, famous University of Pennsylvania and Olympic team track coach. A pacing machine Is similar to the rabbit that runs at dog tracks. It is a mechanical with a clock arrangement and the dummy of a man revolving around the curb of the track. 'I saw a picture of one In England," explained Robbie. "You could simply set the clock for a four-minute mile and I be hove a man of Haegg's speed and strength could keep up with u. l think he could do It at Franklin field where the Penn relays are run." In their prime Robertson thinks that Glenn Cunningham. whoso mile record Haegg shat tered, and Ben Eastman, of Stan ford, could have run a four- minute mile with proper pacing, eusiman, a great half and quarter mile 10 years ago, could have "flashed across the line in four minutes or less if he had seriously trained for the event," Robbio asserted.

"Last year we won the Pact. fic Coast league pennant and lost a good deal of money." Breadon said the Cardinals would continue to have a con tending club in the Coast circuit.

Jr. Rejuvenated Ancients Pitch Pirates Close Enough to Bust Bums First Place Bubble By SID FEDER Associated Press Sports Writer Today's lecture, children, is on tho rejuvenating qualities to he found in plant life, and Pro feasor Franz Frisch, tho emin ent horticulturist of West Ches ter county (N. Y.), will take tho floor. Tho professor has spent years nf study of tho flowers and the wild life up there on his West Chester estates, so it was only h question of time, naturally, un- Olll he enmo up with something Unit would at least give tho lioss-laugh to tho old gag that baseball is a young man's game. Including yesterday's twin win over the busted bubble of Brooklyn the Dodgers tho Pirates hnvo put together four victories in- a row and ten out ot 13, and at this writing they are close enough to second place in tho National league to reach over and give the Bums a GI haircut, It is obvious that the boost of the Bucs- lately lies in the elbowing forces Professor Franz has been rejuvenating. Moro particularly, It rests on thrco pitching arms, whoso com bined ages correspond roughly to the temperatures on a particul arly warm July afternoon, Reading from left to right, these arms aro hung on Rip Sewell, Bob Klingcr and Wally Hebert. ' Kllnger tossed a two-hitter to take yesterday's opener and Hebert backed it up with a four hitter in tho afterpiece, and the Pirates rang the cash register 7-1 each time. Sewell, who al ready has 15 wins this season, and Hebert are 35 years old a- piece, while Klinger is a mere callow youth of 33. Of course, all this is Just so mucli gravy in the stew for the Cardinals of St. Louis, because they also grabbed off a pair of decisions yesterday, knocking over the Boston Braves 5-1 and 7-3 to run thoir winning string to eight straight and skyrocket their National league lead to 84 games. Over in the American league, meantime, the Yankees hoisted their lead to seven full games by splitting with the Chicago White Sox, The Sox squeaked through in- the opener 2-1 on Thurman Tucker's ninth Inning homer, while the Bombers hit the jack pot 6-3 in the afterpiece, In which they handed Orval Grove his first defeat of the year. The second place Detroit Tig ers dumped Philadelphia 5-0 in their first game, behind Dizzy Trout's five-hit flinging, but the Athletics came back for a 3:l edge in the second tussle, al though held to two hits by John ny Gorsica. The Boston Red Sox belted the Brownies twice 7-0, as Tex Hughson turned in win No, 12 with a three-hitter, and 6-4 as Bobby Doerr hit his fourth homer in four playing days. Vernon Kennedy's seven hitter gave Cleveland an 8-2 win over the Washington Sen ators in their curtain-raiser, but the Nats went on a four-run fourth inning spree to take the nightcap 7-2. The New York Giants' losing run reached seven straight as the Chicago Cubs clouted the Coogan Bluffers twice by 2-0. Pelicans Shellacked by Medford Nine, 26 to 8 Lack of Pitching Strength May Force Local Club to Disband for Season By PETE LE8MEI8TER The trek of the Pelican ball club to Medford Sunday was any thing but profitable, In fact the locals were handed one of the most thorough shellackings on record.

July 26 (IP) Be cause Denny Shea of the football Dodgers popped off the other day about "town team" grid out fits that didn't intend to play full time this fall, the Philadelphia- Pittsburgh combination is pro testing to Commissioner Elmer Laydcn. . . In baseball this would be the cue lor a howl of "cry babies," but then no baseball clubs would pass up such a chance to start a hot feud. . .

From recent re ports, it appears that football writers next fall will have to copy their leads from the busi ness notices, like: "Seven mar ines from Minnesota and four Iowa sailors, trading under the name of northwestern univer sity,' etc. . . . Amateur golfers in the Tarn O'Shanter tourna ment had to be careful as well as good.

JUST A CLUB FIGHTER After George Kochan, the coast guard middleweight, and Howard Bennett put on a torrid fight in Baltimore recently, Ko chan turned to a dressing room attendant and said: "Send for the promoter." ... A few minutes later Promoters Fisher and Gold berg tiptoed fearfully into the room, ready for a squawk. "When do we fight again," Koch an demanded.
