In College
Meet

MINNEAPOLIS, June 10 Q.N.S)
Finals in the seventeenth annual
national collegiate track meet got
under way at the University of
Minnesota here today with South
ern CALIFORNIA; Trojans favored
to win their fourth consecutive
title.
Although champions and near
champions were entered in every
event, three competitions drew the
spotlight-the mile race, the 100
yard high hurdles and the $780,
yard run.
The mile, expected to produce
the outstanding race Of the meet,
pitted Charles FenSke, Big Ten
champion from Wisconsin, against
John Munski, sensational Missouri
sophomore, and Louis Zamperini,
Southern California Olympic star.
Some observers hoped for record
to come out of this encounter.
Johnny Woodruff, long-striding
Olympic champion from Pitts
burgh, took the field in the 800
yard run, favored to defeat Cal
win Bell, of Rice. and Coleman
Headley. of Maryland. Bell trailed
Woodruff all the way yesterday,
and when he spurted in a last
minute effort to overtake the
long legged Negro Woodruff merely
heightened his stride and coasted
to the tape.

rookie left-handers have acquired
a modicum of poise and control.
NEW STABILITY
Secondly, the Mats have taken
on a new stability, with the
Rookie George Case moving along
at a thoroughly sensational lip.
In his last 81 times at bat, Case
has crashed out a stunning .486
average, a fat row of figures born
of singles, doubles, triples and yes
terday'S home run. Just q few
short weeks ago Case was booed
by his own fans at Griffith Sta
dunn when he committed a series
of outfield acrobaticS which proved
costly to the Washington cause.
It's pretty paradoxical then,
that this same Case is developing
into a fielding sensation, racing
even with impossible drives and
making difficult. mira culouS

ANOTHER SEASON
Then again, there is jimmy
Wasdell who has taken over Zeke
Bonura's first base. The young
ster is an exceptional fielder, and
has done nothing since returning
to the Mats to make one believe
he isn't hitter, though his drives
have not been well guided.
A typical Wasdell drive came in

When Bucky Harris left Wash
ington the bitter taste of an abyS-
NAL 18-to-12 loss to Detroit wreck
ing his appetite, he let out a
prophecy that seems ready for
its complete fulfilment. He said
something to the effect that his
ball club would have a good road
trip.
Against Cleveland the Mats lost
a couple of ball gameS-one
through souE luck, the other
through the somewhat disturbing
pitching of Bob Teller. The Mats
might have won either game with
a small break in luck. Though
Cleveland took unto itself two Of
the three games, what seemed to
be the superior ball club came out
on the short end.
BREAK EVEN
Here in Detroit yesterday the
Mats outslugged the heaviest-hit-
ting team in baseball and in so
doing broke even in a double
header. Yves Terrell pitched dolor-
ously to win the first game, and
Dutch Leonard, in losing, came up
with a superb pitching perform
ance. The Mats may have won
that second game easily, too, re-

Just now things are looking de
cidedly up for the Mats. and you
can jot down a number of meaty
reasons for this sudden metamor.
phosis. Likewise, these same rea'
sons pretend to give Washington
a successful road trip.
First of all, the pitching, despite

LOCAL BOXERS
HINT AHEARN IS
BOYCOTT|NC EN-
BY BOB ADDIE

Yelled charges of forgetting"
local talent were seen today in the
requests for physical examina.
tions received by the District Box
ing Commission from Bob Wilson,
welterweight, and Donald Reds
Barry, heavyweight.
Wilson asked the local commits
sion to examine his eyes because,
he said, there were rumorS "he
could not see." For this reason,
Wilson said, Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn has been keeping him off
local cards.
Barry, on the permanently re-
tired list of the National Boxing
Association. roster, wants to prove
he's physically fit. Through his
manager, frankie Mann, Barry
said he is in excellent condition
and wants certificate of fitness
so he can get bouts.
FAIR CHANCE
Ahearn today vigorously denied
the two boxers moves were the
result of a boycott"
Wilson," said Ahearn,
fought for me a couple of
times in the past few months.
But I heard his eyes were bad
and I didn't want to take a
chance putting him on the card.
AS for Barry, I'm willing to use
him anytime the commission
doctors okay him. I'm not boy
cotting any boxers who are
physically fit and who will give
the fans a run for heir money"
This writer investigated the Will
son case sometime ago and got a
statement for the occulist who fit
ted Bob for glasses. The official
report showed no weakness, the
doctor said, in Wilson's eye. How
ever Bob is bothered by strong
lights" the occulist said, but he
did not think the glare of the
ring lights sufficiently hampered
Wilson to weaken his boxing
ability.
KLEIG EYES
AS we remember it now, the
term used was "Kleig eyes"
The boxing commission said it
had received no protest against
Ahearn-merely the request for
examinations. But in Wilson's
case it appears logical to presume
Bob thinks he is being discrimin-
ated against because of his eyes
and wants to prove to Ahearn he
can see perfectly.
Wilson was one of the biggest
drawing cards in the District q
few years ago but retired a little
over year ago. Recently. he re-
turned to competition. He fought
here twice since then, losing the
decisions both times.
Mann points out that although
Barry was Gin bad shape" a few
months ago, Red is all right now.
Barry is only % years old, Mann
says, and has been displaying ex-
cellent form in the gymnasium.

MEET CULDAHL|
BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Witty Cox, Swashbuckling pro-
fessional at Congressional Coun-
try Club, looks forward to renew
ing old acquaintance with Ralph
Guldahl in the Professional Golf
ers Association tournament at
Shawnee next month. Looking
forward to battling the man who is
blazing hot after scoring his Sec
ond consecutive victory in the Ma
tional Open championship, and
his third straight victory in the
Western Open might be classed as
counting a licking. But Witty
knows that golf is a surprising
game, and the world knows that
Sir Witty is surprising golfer.
Cox turned in some pretty nifty
golf in his own behalf over the
testing layout at Five Farms yes
terday, scoring an even 14O for the
SO holes, which is par. He cracked
standard figures in the morning
round and went one over in the az
ternoon session. He led the field
in the Middle Atlantic qualifying
rounds for the P. G. A. tourna-
ment.
Guldahl is exempted from quail
flying this year, which certainly
is champions prerogative.
"Lighthorse" Harry Cooper, the
greatest stylist of them all, is an
other in that list that includes
Horton Smith, John Revolta,
Henry Picard, Gene Sarazen,
Jimmy Hines and others. Tony
Manero, former Open champion,
and Walter Hagen were exempted
from qualifying.
GULHAHL GOING TO TOWN
"That Guldahl is going to town
right, now" said Witty, and the
famous Cox smile lighted the sur
roundings. There is a great
golfer. He is one of the men of
the game who hits towering shots.
He's high off the tees and high
with his irons. But he is on the
pin and goes for everything.
Look at his bag of eagles and
brides to see for yourself the
greatness of his game.
Power is the basis of Guldahl's
game" Cox said. HE has power,
but he has everything else. Among
other things he can putt like.
Like Witty Cox" interjected
one of the audience.
II wish I could putt like Gull
dahl" laughed Witty, who had
dropped the ball into the cup
from all distances up to 40 feet
yesterday.

May Blink AWay Title

Maybe I'm stepping in where
wiser folks would stay out, but
as long as there's a fight, let's
all get busy. After all, it's fault
finding week.
Unless the cameras that have
brought photographs of Schme-
ling and Louis to you through
the pages of the Washington
Times are sadly out Of focus,
Louis may blink away the title.
Too many times the cham
pion has shut his eyes when his
sparring partners stabbed him
with left hands. Well, you can't
duck what you can't time, and
you can't time what you won't
watch.
Unless Louis keeps his eyes
open, his greatest danger is from
a one-two punch-a left jab fol.
lowed by a right. That is a
simple maneuver of the ring.
The left hand is led, and just
as soon as it is under way, the
right is slammed in behind it,,
The right can be countered if
a fighter keeps his eyes open
and rolls his head fast enough,
but you've got to look at the
left to take it, and Louis doesn't
look at enough lefts.

a right-hand puncher. Wilbur
Wood. who is one of the boxing
critics I know, is the author
ity for the statement that you
can wrap up Something's left
hand and take it away. But
that left will be good enough if
the title holder is fool enough
to shut his eyes.
I'll watch this for you on

how it all works out. I still
think Louis carries enough guns

'BAM' REPORTED

NEW YORK, June 10 Q.N.SO.

Larry MacPhail, business man.
ager of the Dodgers, said Ruth
would make his first appearance
on the coaching lines tomorrow
when the Cubs play a double
header at -Ebbet's Field.
It has been rumored around the
National League for some time
that the former home-run king
of the Yankees would join the
Dodgers in some capacity and
many profess to see this move as
step leading to the managership
of the club.
Ruth should be a wonderful
help to the Dodgers" said Mac
Phail today.
KNOWS BASEBALL
NOBODY IN the world knows
more baseball than he does and
he long ago proved his ability
to teach all he knows to young
ball players. The youngsters like
him and he'll be an inspiration
to them. AS for the fans, they
always were crazy about him
and still are. When Babe at
tended our night game Wednes-
day the fans almost mobbed him
trying to get his autograph or
shake his hand"
Ruth has repeatedly said he
would never play, coach or man
age a minor league club but just
as often he has expressed a desire
to join the Dodgers in some ca
pacity.
The Babe made his decision to
don a uniform again after a con-
ference last night with MacPhail,
Burleigh Grimes, manager Of the
team, and Leo Durocher, the
teams shortstop and captain.

Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN you break a dish in some
wv one elses home you ought to be
able to carry of the incident without
blushing and becoming hopelessly
confused. OF course, know it's hard
when the expression on the hostess
face shows that it was a dish she
priced above all others. But even so,
you should hold your head up, say
I'm sorry" and try to act natural.
Otherwise, If you don't watch out,
you'll become all thumbs and break
everything you touch.
Neither should you make too many
remarks about replacing the dish. The
hostess will become embarrassed over
that in the end.
The best thing to do is to take a
good but surreptitious look at the
trade mark and the pattern. And
then the next day try to find the
dish's duplicate if you can, and have
1t sent out to your hostess without
comment. If you can't find the du-
plicate, try to get something else she
wants in the way of chinaware or
else forget it. In time your hostess
will forget 1t herself. And ten to one
she'll break something in your house
some day. JEAN.
