July 10 (IP) By a roundabout route comes this report from Gib Sandefer, Hard-in-Siromons U, athletic manager who now is a Red Cross field director with General "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell's forces in Burma Gib claims to have the larg est hat in India (it would make all the ten gallons toppers in Texas turn green with envy) and the longest short snorter in the world (1000 f Jt) . . "Told 'Uncle Joe' he could pick 23 of his good Chinese boys and we would bring them back to the campus," Sand efer wrote. "Have 10 British boys coming for Merle Evans' cowbov band, three French girls from North Africa who play na tive instruments, and plenty of good ui s mat win De reaay ror our Sammy Baugh-Bulldog Turn er, our Frank Kimbrough-Clark Jarnagin or our Warren Woodson-Jewell Wallace - coaching combinations after the war.

It was the second time a ball park had burned down after Roy had offic.'ited a game and each time he lost his blue uni form, which is a hard thing to replace these days . . . Van Graf lan also Was umpire at Newark, Aug. 8, 1923, just before Harri son field was destroyed . . . How ever, that doesn't explain why Graflan seldom fires a player out of a game.

I.'s A big splurge in the fifth inn ing that saw 16 sailors cross home plate gave the Klamath Naval air base a decisive 21 to 3 victory over the WPRC sol diers at Camp White, Medford. Going into the last half of the fifth inning the navy held a slim 5 to 3 lead and it was still anybody's ball game, And then the fireworks broke loose. Ted Bergold on the mound for Camp White issued a walk to Gay, Storey singled and Miller hit double, scoring Gay. Then Walder hit long triple clear ing the bases, Bergold issued another walk and was yanked. Thurston took Bergold's place but the navy hit his pitches even harder and after a short while Holland who regularly playa second base took over with no one out yet And still the sailors blasted his efforts with tha aame effectiveness. Fi nally by mutual agreement Ber gold was aiiowea to come obck in the game, thus almost reliev ing himself. Then with two out, Sailor Fred Gay intentionally put himself out with a slow steal between second and third bases. No more runs were scored during the rest of the game. All of Camp White's scoring came in the third inning off of Jim Olsen who started on mound for the navy. Irwin sin gled, stole second and went to third on Bergold's safety. Ber gold stole second, Birch got on first via an error by the navy shortston with Irwin scoring. Then both Birch, who had stol en second, and Bergold scored on D'Ambrosio's long fly to left field. The next two batters were nut out. ending the rally. In general the fielding ot Doth teams was gooa aunougn the pitching of Camp White was preuy Daa ui spots, wihi the exception of Bergold who deserved better treatment than he received. The overflow crowd saw one double play made by Camp White. It was from D'Ambrosio to Holland to Otte. The regular umpire failed to show up so Doctor Paul Noel was called on. He did a good job although there was quite a flare-up in the fourth inning over one of the close ones. The long distance clouting of Second Baseman Walder and Centerfielder Cassidy featured the batting work of the local unit. Walder got 4 for 5 in ad dition to. a spotless record in the field. Cassidy hit a long in side the park home run in the second inning lor the only one of the game. - Gay relieved Olsen on the mound in the fourth frame and pitched without serious trouble unut me sixtn stanza when Frannv Miller took over tn fin. ish the game. The visitors only got six hits off of the three nuriers in nine innings. BOX SCORE " AB.

If the National lotiRue starting pitcher Is a right-hander, McCar thy said, the Americans will be: Thurman Tucker, White Sox, cf; Stan Spcncc, Senators; rf; George McQulnii, Browns, lb; Vernon Stephens; Browns, ss; Bob Johnson, Red Sox, If; Ken Keltncr, Iniliiins, 3b; Bobby Do err, Red Sox, 21). McCarthy's list contained the name of no catcher but Indica tions were this would be Rollio Hemsley of the Yankees. If the National Iciikuc pitcher is a southpaw, McCarthy said his lineup will be the same ex cept that Pete Fox of the Rod Sox will be in right field Instead of Spcnce. and Uucly York of tho Tigers will replace McQuinn at first base. Tho butting order would be unchanged. Manager McCarthy remained close-mouthed about his pitcher but he was expected to choose between Hank Borowy of tho New York Yunkees ond Tex Huehson of tho Boston Red Sox. While no definite announce ment has come from skipper Bil ly Southworth of the National leaguers, baseball men figured he would lead with Ills ace rjght hander, Bucky Walters of the Cincinnati Reds. Walters has a 14-3 win record for tha Reds. Borowy has won 1 1 and dropped 4, and liughson boasts a fancy 3-3 mark. With Lefty Max Lanier of the Cards out of action for 10 days due to an arm injury, Smith worth is expected to foliow Wal ters with Rip Scwell of the host Pittsburgh club and Nate An drews of the Braves in an at tempt to smash the Junior cir cuits 6-year win streak. Bob Muncriet of the Browns and Hal Nowhnusor of tho Tigers are available for late duty with the McCarthy clan and Bobo Ncwsom of tho A's may got a chance to strut his stuff beforo a sell-out crowd that will an- S roach 40,000 and dump $100, 00 into the bat and ball fund for servicemen: Three American league hurl ers, Paul (Dizzy) Trout of the Tigers, Dutch Leonard of the Senators and Orval Grove of the White Sox, and two National league chuckers, Jim Tobin and Al Javory of the Braves, were practically eliminoted from con sideration by working Sunday games. It is not likely that any of the quintet will be used with only one day's rest in relief emergency. Southworth can use Phil Cav aretta of the Cubs at first base when McCarthy is using a right hander or Frank McCormlck of the Reds if a southpaw is on the hill. Connie Ryan of the Braves is the likely second baseman with Martin Marlon of the Cards and Eddie Miller of the Reds sharing shortstop. Bob Elliott's recent surge may get the Pirate third sockcr the call but Whltey Kurowski of the Cards is a better bet for the hot corner. Walker Cooper of the Cards and Mickey Owen of the Dodgers are due for catching duty whilo the outfield probably will include Stan Musial of the Cards, Mel Ott of the Giants and either Dixie Walker of tho Dodg ers or Bill Nicholson of the Cubs. Camp Adair Trims State Prison Greys SALEM, July 10 (P) The Camp Adair Cannoneers trim med the State Prison Greys, 1-0, yesterday behind the four hit pitching of Smoky Desmond, former Pittsburgh Pirate.
