Retired Dottor
Skeet Champ

SYRACUSE, N. Y Aug. 10
R-The steady nerves he ac-
quired while performing deli
cate surgery helped a 59-year-
old retired doctor become mon
arch of the skeet world in five
years.
DR.. Leroy w. Childs, former
Atlanta, Ga. surgeon, shot ESQ
straight targets the final so
yesterday-to win the coveted
12-Gauge title in the 9th Ma
tional Championships.
The slightly-built Southerner,
who now lives at Lake Kerr.
Fla, in the Ocala National For
est, took up skeet in 1897 after
doctors had advise, him to aban-
don other more strenuous sports.
He attributes the winning of
his first national title over a
field of 253 marksman, some
youngsters half his age, to "the
concentration habits I learned in
the operating ROOM"
In seven previous national
tournaments, only three other
gunners have fired a perfect
250x250.
Little less rer- arkable was his
wife's feat in shattering 81 of
100 birds in winning the wom-
ems 2O-gauge title. She has been
shooting skeet only two years.

GoWaniie Title
Fights Back from
---y-ss--as--~-
Six-Down Position

Charles "Chuck" Nicolai, two
time winners of the state left
handlers title and Macomb Coun-
Nty champion last year, added
another crown to his golfing hon
ors yesterday as he won the Go
wanie Club title.
A member of the Gowanie club
for the first time this year, Nico-
la defeated Les Townsend, 2
and l, yesterday in their final,
36-hole match in the champion
ship flight. Nicolai replaces Eric
Larson, defeated by Townsend in
an earlier match, as champion.
NICOLAI 6 DOWN
Off to slow start-he fired
a 4-over rs on the opening
round-Nicolai found himself
four down at the end of the first
nine and six down at the end
of the 18th. From there on, it
was an uphill fight. Townsend,
who carded 70 on the first 10,
slipped back to a 70 in the after
noon and Nicolai finally evened
the match at the 32nd hole.
Chuck then preceded to win
the next two holes and when the
pair split the 35th, the match
was over. Nicolai shot a 75-7l-
146 while Townsend had a TO-

free style grind and both broke
the worlds record. Smiths long
er reach provided the margin as
he touched out in nine minutes
and 546 seconds, 13 seconds
better than the listed interna-
tional mark recorded by Ralph
Flanagan of Miami, Fla, sew
en- years ago. Nakama was a
fraction of a second off Smiths
pace.
National A.A.U. swimming
chairman Harry Johnson of Bos-
ton, and a flock of officials, said
it was tops among the races
they've ever seen.
The previous day, Nakama
pushed his pal to the 440-yard
free style worlds record of four
minutes, 1915 seconds, more
than second off the standard
set by Jack Medica of Univer-
sity of Washington in 1884.
PROSPECTIVE BUCKEYE
Without the dark-haired Ma
kama to extend him, Smith, who
enters Ohio State next month to
study Civil Engineering, also
hung up the American 220-yard
free style mark of two minutes,
1917 seconds on opening day. In
all, this one-man record wreck
er captured three crowns.
Nakama, himself, came in for
some glory by winning the one
mile grind, one of the four titles
that went to Ohio State SWIM
mers as they piled up 81 points
to capture the team crown, IA
more than 1unnerup Yale.
Jim Counsilman won the 800
yard breast stroke for the
Buckeyes, who also annexed the
330-yard medley and 880-yard
free style relays.
Yale's only champion, Alan
Ford, l8-year-old Freshm a n
from the Panama Canal zone,
who led in the 110-yard free
style. Mike Priano of Brooklyn,
N. Y. and the Flatbush Boys
Club, 330-yard individual med
ley; Sammy Lee, of Occidental
College and the Pasadena, Calf,
A. c., three-n-eter dive, and
Adolph Kiefer of Chicago, no.
yard back stroke, were the 9TH
er victors.
Yet to be settled is the plat

'hree Leagues Engage in Payoff BATTLES Tonigh
Sudden Death
Gan,eCarded
in Junior Loop
Reds, Blue Divisions
Stort Their Series;
Come Sites Shifted

A bumper crop of fast soft
ball games is offered Mount Gle
mems fans this evening as teams
of three leagues tangle in play
off games.
Two or the loops-the Red and
Blue divisions of the Twilight
Softball League-are just start
ing their series while in the Jun
ior league, the playoffs have
reched the clutch stage and one
of tonight's teams will drop out,
leaving only two tens of the ORR
ginal four to fight it out for the
title.
Here is the way tonight'S
schedule lines up, revised to take
care of the diamond situation:
Blue-Bar So VS.. Spruce Inn
at Covered Wagon.
Red-Leander VS.. Eagles at
Griffith.
JuniOrs-A & w VS.. Monitor
Leader at Consumers Pow
er.
The Red division and Junior
League games have been changed
from their original sites because
of the mucky condition of st.
Mary's diamond. The Juniors
will return to their own stamp
ing grounds, Consumers Power,
from Griffith while the Red loop
shifts from st. Mary's to Griffith.
All games start at Gas.
FOUR CLASHES
Four clashes are carded in the
Red and Blue series this week,
Wednesday being open in both
leagues. The Junior loop has two
sure games on tap, and possibly
three. The surprising L & G
team, which has knocked off all
playoff opposition after ending
up in third place in the regular
season, will be idle tonight. Play
ing in a Sudden death" engage
ment will be the A & w and NIL
teams, which finished in a tie
for first during the season.
AS both teams have suffered
one defeat, the losers tonight will
drop out of the series and the
winner will go on to engage the
undefeated L & G outfit on We'd
nesday. Should the Morticians
win then, the series will be over;
if they lose, the playoffs will last
through one more game.

JACKSON, Mich, Aug. 10 -
(P)-Ed Furgol of Detroit, a
deadly serious young man who
plays golf with the handicap of
a withered left arm, now pos
sesses the Michigan Public
Links championship which he
missed two years ago because OF
lack of residence qualifications.
The Detroiter ran away from
the field to capture the crown
in final rounds of play yester-
day with 54-hole total of PA,
two under par and nine strokes
ahead of his nearest rival. He
shot a second round 70 and a
neat two-under-par 20 for a
finisher. His first round was a
II.
DISQUALIFIED ONCE
Two years ago Furgol shot d
record IS to lead the field but
his score was disallowed since
he was not a legal resident of
Michigan at that time.
Ronnie Williams of Detroit,
whose 70 led the first round
play, ran up 1877 yesterday to
finish with 226 and third place
behind Pete Zegunis of Grand
Rapids, a former champion, who
closed with 72-74223.
Tied for fourth were Bob
Gajda and Bill Fenwick of De-
troit with 227 and next in line
were Ed Ervasti and Sam Koc-
sis of Detroit with 229. Jay Law
of Detroit and John Tews of
Bay City scored 230. Tied at 232
were John Devane of Detroit,
Alex Chisholm of Lansing, and
Clarence Hoogerhyde of Grand

ply out of competition with a
third victory. Sylvan Glen
nosed out Warren Valley, the
favoritc, by GIT to $40. The
team title was decided on the
first 10 holes. Gajda paced Syl-
van Glen with 1874 while Err
vasti shot 80-75, Carl Daniels

Tigers Halt
Losing Streak,
Face Indians

CLEVELAND, Aug. 10 P)
"A new losing streak having
been discarded al long last, the
Detroit Tigers moved in here to-
day for the last series of a dole
full western trip after barely
escaping a fall to sixth place.
A three-game series with the
Cleveland Indians opens tomor-
row for the Tigers, who pulled
out of their five-game losing
streak in St. Louis yesterday by
sweeping a doubleheader, 8 to 3
and 3 to 1. The Tigers were idle
today.
The two victories over st.
Louis, first triumphs for De-
troit on this trip, enabled the
Tigers to stick few percentage
points ahead of sixth-place Chi
cago. Eleven Brown errors con-
tributed heavily to Detroit's
cause.
1t was ell for the Tigers that
they won. both games inasmuch
as the White Sox were whipping
Cleveland twice and would have
jumped over Detroit into fifth
place if { Tigers had failed to
sweep the twin bill.
FIRST WIN ON TRIP
Coincidentally, it was the first
time Detroit had won a game
since they beat the Boston Red
Sox in both ends of double
header the day before they be-
gen the present trip. Before
yesterday, they had suffered
three defeats in Chicago and two
in st. Louis.
Five ST. Louis errors were di-
vided among 13 Tiger hits, in
Guiding two doubles and single
by Murray FIR nklin, to make
easy pickings of the first game
for Detroit yesterday. The
Browns erred six times in the
nightcap, with all Detroit runs
unearned.
In the opener Hal Newhouser
and AL Benton, again in relief
role, held St. Louis to seven hits,
ar Virgil Trucks tied the
Browns down with six in the
nightcap, striking out seven
men. 1t gave young Trucks q
more commanding position as
Detroit's leading twirler with
ten victories against five defeats.

tive victims, Richmond and

losers game which will knock
one or the other out o. the ser
les. The Bathers were II vic
tim at New Haven.
Yesterdays best game was at
Richmond, where the invading
Center Line team eked out 81
victory on the four-hit pitching
of 18-year-old Bob Krist. Twenty
three strikeouts, 13 by Krist and
IL by the Richmond hurler,
Glenn Schneider, marked the
game. Richmond took 10 lead
in the first frame as Fox" Mack
ley gained walk and was
singled in from second by Jack
Fenton. However, the home team
was handcuffed thereafter and
Center Line tied the count in the
second, off three consecutive

Mackley of Richmond had the
longest hit of the day, a double
in the eighth.
SCATTERS HITS
At New Haven, the combined
New Haven-New Baltimore team
gained a victory in its rut Der
game with Mount Clemens as
hurler Walter Randall kept eight
hits well-scattered to allow the
Bathers only two runs. Manager
Harold "Ace" Elliott used a pair
of Dairy hurlers, Billy Cent? and
Lyle Bliss, in an effort to stop
the rampage. The usually reliable
Cent? was touched for II hits
over the first seven innings and
was replaced by Bliss, Mount
Clemens high school star. Bliss
faced six batters without giving
III q blow in closing the game.
TAKE EARLY LEAD
The winners tailed two runs
in the second frame off three
singles and were never threaten
e,l. A pair more were added in
the third and then in the seventh,

triple and was singled home by
Smith, who scored on an error,
for the closing run of the game.
Mount Clemens first run

by Cramer, Harrington and Ow-
en-, in tie sixth resulted in Cra-
mer's scoring tn, locals final

A national poll made by one OF
the country's fact finding agencies
discloses some interesting light on
what the voters of the country are
thinking. The poll shows that the
majority of people believe that work.
ers should be drafted the same as
soldiers are drafted and sent where
they are needed. The majority OF
people are opposed to having to join
some organization in order to secure
work on a government project. An
income tax should be levied on every
family except those on relief. A con-
siderable majority favor a federal
sales tax as means Of raising
money OF finance the war. Unions
should be regulated the same as in
dividuals and industry. Strikes
should he positively prohibited dur
ing the war. Overtime should not
start until after 48 hours. Women
should be given all clerical and writ
ing jobs, ID to l9-year-olds should
be drafted before married men with
children. - - ~

We believe that Henry j. Kaiser
should he at the head of the pro-
duction for defense in this country.
Kaiser has demonstrated that he
cannot only dream and have visions
but that he can make them come
true. AT the moment we can think
of no one in high places in the war
effort with the outstanding ability
and capacity for getting things done
possessed by this rugged, straight
thinking west coast ship builder.
Kaiser is big, he thinks big and per-
forms in a big way big things. The
country needs Keiser as a director
in some phase of the war effort in
stead of as industrialist. 1t would
be better If Kaiser were giving a
thousand industries the benefit Of
his executive genius. The war effort
would be receiving even more bene-
fit from his genius than 1t is now
with his effort ventered on but one
industry.

There are a number of good let
ter writer's in this community who
are naturally gifted when it comes
to writing an interesting, readable
letter. They could exercise this tall
ent in no better way than writing
to the boys in the service. Few things
are more acceptable to the boy
away from home than the right
kind of letter. Anyone who sends
a letter of that kind to a young
man in the service is doing a real
service to the soldier and to the
country.
