Catawba col lege oaseoall coach, wno mane one appeal to Commissioner happy Chandler to stop the "kianaping" of young players by major league scouts, now is urging every high school and college coacn to write the com missioner. . . That would snow unanimity, but it is doubttul whether it would do much good otherwise. . . The high school boys probably will be sale once the older players come back from the war and its up to the college coaches to show that they can give a boy a real base ball education while he's get ting some book-learning too. . .

HOT SMOKES Home runs really are worth while at Ebbets new these days. . . . Every time Sports caster Red Barber sees the ball eoine over the fence, he tosses i carton of those cigarettes he advertises down the grandstand wire and when the hitter crosses the plate, the mascot mitys him with the carton. . . . That's one way to get cigarettes and also one way to get away with throwing things at those ferocious gentlemen. CHARITY COMES HOME Three Baldwinsvllle, N.

Wagner Will Meet Achiu In Mai Tiff Walter "Sneeze" Achlu, the "Chinese sleeper" artist, will re turn once again to the Klamath mat wars Friday night when he tangles with Gorgeous George Wagner in the semi-windup scuf fle. Wagner has been using very questionable tactics of late in his tussles here and Klamath railbirds will in all probability get another glimpse of. the dan gerous "sleeper" hold Friday night. Achiu is loath to use the hold unless forced to it but there is little doubt that George will give him sufficient cause for ac tion. Following this tiff, Otis "Baby-face" Klingman will take on Antone Leone in the feature attraction. Leone had had con siderable success here with his rough methods of rassling, but Klingman proved that he has what it takes when he downed Wagner last week. Promoter Mack Lillard has signed Kenny Ackles for the opener and his opponent will be announced tomorrow. Gen. Eisenhower To See Ball Game NEW YORK. June 19 W) General Dwight D.

Mrs. Zaharias was out to beat the odds against the defending champion as she teed off against Elizabeth Dunn of Indianapolis this morning. The only defend ing champion ever to retain the crown was Mrs. Opal Hill, who won in 1935 and 1936. Miss Dunn, five times champion of Indiana, qualified with an 85.
