SHORTY H0GUE
STOPPED IN 9TH
BY BOBBY Birch

The same old trouble, delicate
scar tissue over his eyes, caused
Shorty Hogue to lose another fight
Friday night as a t. ko. decision
was given to Bobby Birch, Los An
geles Negro, in the seventh round
at the San Diego Coliseum.
The bout was fairly even all the
way through although Birch con-
nected with a one-two Cn the but
ton in the fourth that sent the ia
cumba twin down for four count.
He came back in the same Stanza
and battled Birch to standStill,
however.
Hogue butted Birch in the sixth
round and again in the seventh.
When the Negro offered to shake
and forget it Shorty belted him
with a left. Birch came in with
both arms failing then and at the
end of the round blood was stream
ing into both of Hogue'S eyes.
The referee refused to permit
Hogue to come out and fight in the
eighth although the decision was
vigorously protested by Hogue him
self.

NEW YORK, June 13 (UP) -
Morton Cooper hasn't the best rec
ord in the National League but to
insiders he's recognized as the SEN
ior loops ace of aces.
The st. Louis Cardinals right
handler with the high, hard one
added new evidence that he's the
pitcher likely to draw the National
Leagues all-star assignment in
July when he beat the Philadelphia
Phils last night, 81. 1t was Cooper's
seventh victory, and fifth in a row.
He's lost three games, all by one
run and two to the Reds by 10
scores. With just a little break in
luck Cooper easily might have had
record of 10 victories and no de-
featS.
The Cards made only six hits off
Tommy Hughes, who lost his ninth
game against one victory, but only
one figured in the scoring. Terry
Moore walked in the first inning,
Enos Slaughter tripled him home
and scored on Ken ODea's ground
eli to Alban Glossop. 1t was the
Phils seventh straight loss, crowd
of 6,866 attended at st. Louis.
CARDS GAIN
The triumph enabled the Cards
tC gain half a game on the idle
Dodgers, who now lead by 6lA
games. The Dodgers, who haven t
played since last Sunday, were
baked again at Cincinnati by the
weather.
In the National Leagues only
afternoon game the Chicago Cubs
nosed out the Boston Braves, 80,
Vern Olsen hanging up his first
victory after four straight losses.
It was the Braves 10th consecutive
loss. Olsen gave up six hits and
famed six. Bill Nicholson's double
and Lou Novikoff's single produced
the winning run.
The Giants led the Pirates, IA,
with one out in the fourth when
the umpires called the night game
at Pittsburgh because of the wea-
ther. Both starting pitchers, Dave
Koslo and Max Butcher, were
knocked out.
Dick Fowler, beaten hero of a
16-innng 10 loss in his last start
helped pitch the Philadelphia Ath-
letics to a 54 victory over the
Cleveland Indians before 1898 at
Philadelphia last night. Fowler was
hit by a pitched ball and had to
retire after holding the Tribe to
four hits in six innings. Russ Chris
topher finished up and protected
Fowler's victory, allowing only one

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13-CUP)
Instead of wondering whether his
favorite sport will function in its
usual grand manner this fall, the
average Pacific coast football fan
today is inclined to the belief that
there may not be enough coaches
left to build the characters of un-
der -draft-age collegians.
Practically every conference school
and prominent independent" has
been affected by a general exodus
to the army and navy-especially
the latter Even athletic directors
and publicity men have joined the
parade.
At present, Stanford and ST.
Marys are both without head
coaches. The Indians lost Clark
Shaughnessy last December when
the wizard of T' accepted the
! athletic dictatorship at the Univer-
sity of Maryland and bade goodbye
yesterday to Jim Lawson who don
ned the uniform of lieutenant,
senior grade. Marchy Schwartz,
Knute Rockne's last great left half
back at Notre Dame, will probably
replace Lawson.

man Red) Strader pack his duffle

he had been preceded by Eddie Err

The situation at other schools, in
brief, is as follows:

For 20-30 Max Sones, short stop,
and Washburn were the best hitters.

connected three times, including a

The loss left 20-30 at the bottom
of the ladder with three losses. Tele-

to turn down the sort of material
which they normally would droop

are literally hundreds of crack

out of place during war but I
heartily disagree. I can think OF
nothing which would delight SOL

BASEBALL-If Brooklyn wins the

for Johns Hopkins hospital of Bait

chunky Dodger first baseman looks
solder than the great wall of China
but actually he suffers from a
toxic condition which saps his
strength. Now he is munching little
pink, blue and green vitamin Spe-
cialties cooked up at the Johns

momentarily find him tearing tele-
phone books in halves, pulling horse
shoes apart and dragging up trees
by the roots. AS opposing mounds
men are well aware, feeding Ca

WhirlaWay with a battery. Last
year, the Johns Hopkins products
filled him with such zip that he
knocked "a home runs and won the

genius like Durocher sometimes
must call on outside help.

Canadians are taking the war "far

cording to Mrs. John L. Whitehurst,
president OF the General Federation
Of Women's Clubs, who returned
yesterday from . two-day visit In
Toronto.
She pointed to Canada's extraor-
dinary efforts to sell Defense bonds
by "dramatizing" the drive; to work
by women there to make the leaves
Of soldiers and sailors happier, and
to the real feeling" that one Of the
Axis powers may try to invade the
continent through Northern route.
Would Publicise Setbacks.
Criticizing the Governments
policy Of Withholding information
of American military setbacks, Mrs.
Whitehurst said the people should
be told "the facts, In order to get
them out Of their present COM
placency."
I'VE can't continually gloss over
our defeats and magnify our small
victories and expect the people to
be aroused" she said. THE fact
Is the democracies haven't made one

Confidence was expressed by Dep

that President Roosevelt would sign
the bill changing the name of Con-

Mrs. Rods originally proposed
that q statue be placed in the

but on plea Of John Monteith
