BrOoklyns And Tribunes Feature
 CAL. Sunday, Slate

The most attractive twin bill of the season is on the books for Hamilton Park Sunday afternoon when the City Amateur League once more presents its weekly Sunday af- ternoon cards. This week should provide the best action of the sea- son with old time rivals meeting in most of the games, three out of the four to say the very least.
 The feature game of the after. noon will be the contest that should decide the first round champion ship when the .league-leading Brooklyn A. 0. meet the Tribunes, the pride of Baldwin street who at the persent are tied with the Over looks for the runner up spot in the tightest race in years. This contest will be preceded by the battle of the North End in which the North End Thomas Club, one of the older teams of the circuit, meet the Avli- glianese, one of the up and coming teams of the city who are in their first season of league activity.
 The second diamond, the field which oddly enough, has produced the best played games of the loop thus far, has another potential great" afternoon of baseball with the Washington Hills and the Sacred Hearts, just about the oldest rivals in the loop, clashing at { o'clock while the Overlooks, the league pests this year, meet the Mill Plain A. c. in the curtain raiser.
 The Brooks need only to win this one to put the Tribes out of the running for the top spot honors for the first round. The Brooks boast a one game advantage at the pres- ent and e win Sunday would in- crease 1t to two over the Tribes. thereby clinching things as far as Packy Shea's charges are concerned. Brooklyn will probably send Joey Jay to the hill with Mike Haiday do- ing the catching. The inf1eld wiN consist of Jim Riley. Eddie Mack, Joyce" Kilmer and Teddy Kobrin while Joe Mack, Buzzy McGratla and Johnny Stella will show in the garden.
 Packy Shea will probably send his long right handed ace, Joe Lenzl, to the hill, although there is a remote possibility that Johnny Hardenburgh, who pitched for the City League all stars against the Black Yankees and Detroit Clowns, may toe the slab for the Baldwin streeters. Joe Rinaldi will do the catching while Rossi, Greatorex. Mullen, and Bobby Ray will round out the infield with Bill Moore, Razor Doran and Hank Gagain In the outer works.

Army, Navy Skeet
 Shooting Stars In Great Eastern

Stratford, Conn.,, June 10-The Army and Navy marked of another sector in their traditional sports rivalry here today with the an- nouncement that It. Comm. Frank R. Kelly, U. s. N, and Captain Robert Canfield, U. S. A., would shoot at the Great Eastern Skeet Championships beginning today. The sharpshooting pair will com pete in the Army and Navy Indivi- dual feature, scheduled this year for shooters in the uniform of the armed forces.
 Kelly, three-time All-American captain, is in charge of skeet train- ing for the U. s. Navy. Canf1eld IS the Army,s chief mentor in a cor responding capacity. This individual inter-service competition is ex- pected to provide a sharp edge to the Army and Navy event, which will afford some of the keenest competition ever assembled in a championship match. Canf1eld held the Great Eastern title in l940, while Kelly annexed the crown in 1886.
 The event also was opened today to women of the various uniformed auxiliary services, including re- cruits of the WAAC, now mobilizing. Representatives of the American Women's Hospital Reserve Corps and the National Women's Security Corps will be among the women's groups attending.
 Large Field
 Nearly all present Great Eastern title-holders will be on hand to defend their laurels when the an- nual target classic opens. Reming- ton Gun Club officials said. A large and talented field appeared assured from advance reservations. Last years proceedings attracted more than 300 shooters, 8 record total.
 Word was received today that H. Lutcher Brown, of San Antonio, Texas, last years Small-Bore win ner, and one of the nations con- sistent high scorers, will be present to Stave off threatening competitors. Brown gave 8 brilliant performance last year against top flight Eastern contenders. Dick Shaughnessy, 20- Gauge winner and Mrs. M. L. Smy- the, woman's champion, are also expected.

 Tn the older brackets, the aim is to shoot your age.
 Fortunately, Knowles and Ro- tan had no such directive.
 Knowles, shipping executive, was intercollegiate champion as @ Yale undergraduate in 1907. Seven years ago, he shot Aparwanis in 67, touring the back nine in a phenomenal 28.
 T only play week-ends," he points out, "but I'm hitting the ball farther than I did as an 18- year-old sophomore. I'm scoring better, too. I shot between 75 and 77 then. Now I'm sore if I'm above 75. I've been banging around par for 36 years"
 He still hits tremendous drives with a IS 1-2-oupce brown Bet sy, one of the heaviest in any golf bag.
 Tt keeps me from hurrying my backswing," he explains. I'm an OK for strength"
 That it brings results was in- dicated by his play on a difficult 502-yard uphill hole. He was on the fringe in two belts. RUNNER-UP WAS FIRST GREAT TEXAS GOLFER
 Runner-up Rotan, first of the great Texas golfers, is a former National Amateur finalist, Q mem- Der of the Walker Cup team which defeated the British at St. An- drews, Scotland, in 1923.
 Yearlings Knowles and Rotan put new meaning in the Seniors slogan: "Once a senior, always a senior, some time venerable but never aged"
 As one old-timer stresses:
 Were glad to have these kids. They'll give par Q tussle every time. It helps our tournament ot have youngsters like Knowles and Rotan shooting in the low 70s.
 IN NO more of that six above par stuff for us."

 Auker, a Kansas State alumnus, was offered a Navy commission under his old battery mate, Lieut. Mickey Cochrane, in the athletic department at the Great Lakes Training Station, but his company considered his services out of uni form more vital.
 He would be full-time war work CT now but for the fact that he got of to a flying start and could combine baseball and business.
 But Elden Auker, like Birdie Teb- betts, is beginning to feel the inn pact of the war-wants to do some- thing more-and the chances are that he will not finish the season with the Browns.

College Ace Of 'O7 Sets Meet Record At 55

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Rye, N. Y., June 19 = What sports thrill is comparable to the conquest of youth-an 18-year-old Bobby Teller moving them down with his fast ball, 8 16-year-old Mel Ott breaking into the Giant lineup, a 55-year-old Ellis Knowles copping the United States Senior Golf Championship
 Hardly out of swaddling clothes, with the bounce of youth in his stride and an adolescent confidence in his eye, Ellis Knowles becomes one of the prize sports babies of the year. He won his title sl1e first time he was eligible to compete. His 71-72-143 at Apawarnis Country Club here breaks a 30-year record by five strokes.
 This is his 43d year of golf, but Knowles was a mere pipsqueak in the annual tournament conceived by the late Horace K. Hotchkiss in 1904. In fact, most of the en- trees referred to Knowles and Knowles and runner-up George Ro- tan, also 55, of Houston, as "bub" or Tad"
