prospects. all because of finding 30
kids under 10 or 4-F who reported

Catcher Cedric Detore has left

in reporting this year because of
reluctance to quit his war plant
Job. Now the Padres have only
one regular catcher, veteran Bill
Salkeld. The Padres might take a
hint from Los Angeles, where Is
year-old kid, Billy Sarni, is going
great guns as a catcher. Sarni is
fresh from high school and is a
first string catcher with the
leagues best club, which is plenty
for any young kid just starting. q.
In the baseball realm the San
Francisco-San Diego series added a
couple of incidents to the season

were reversed by umpires during
the week causing no end of con-
fusion and argument in the
bleachers. The first came in the
third game of the series when a

FLYING SwEDE
SEEKS RECORD
IN MILE RUN
BY OSCAR FRALEY

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-tUP)-
| G,mder Hagg, Sweden's Flying FIRE
man. goes after a four-minute world
record Wednesday in what is bllled
as the mile of the century but IT he
connects it will be the mile OF all
the centuries.
It's a moot question as to how fast
those non-restaurant running
Greeks of old covered ground. be-
cause the first recorded mile mark
was that set in 1865 by Webster OF
England. He turned in 4:44.3
performance and in the intervening
78 years the boys have reduced 1t
Al seconds to a Svelte 4:02.6.
The Webster record was broken
rather frequently until 1894 by
English and Irish runners. Thorn
ton of England dropped 1t to 4:37
in 1866 and a countryman, one
Chimney, pulled it down to 4:29 two
years later. Slide or Ireland cut
off three seconds in 1874 and the
following year reduced 1t to 4:24.5.
BREAKS RECORD
w. George, an Englishman who
died recently, took over in 1880 with
4:23.2. He then broke the record
three times in a row to wind up
with ABA mark in 1884. An AM
erican assumed the reins nine years
later as Tommy Coniff registered
4:17.8 and knocked it down 4:l5.6
in 1895.
This hurdle baked the boys for a
full Is years before John Paul
Jones, another Yank, cut it to
4:15.4, and two years later, in 1918,
to 4:14.4. Jones' mark stood only
two years before Norman Tabor,
also an American, took the Grown
with a 4:12.6 record.
Tabors mark stood for more years
and then came Paavo Nurmi, the
FLYING Finn, with a 4:104 perform
ance. Jules Ladoumegue of France
popped up eight years later, in 1881.
with 4:002 and once again the par
ade was on. For four straight years
the boys battered it down, Bill Bon
thron of Princeton to 4:08.7 in
1884. Jack Lovelock of New Zeal
and to 4:O76 in 1885; Glenn Cum
ningham, the Kansas iron horse, to
4068 in 1886, and Sid WooderSon
of England to 1904 in 1887.
SCORN QUESTION
When the clock like Nurmi was in
his prime. the question of four
minute mile was treated with scorn.
But as the boys moved closer and
closer the ranks of the incredulous
thinned. 1t did, however, become
an almost forgotten issue during the
five years after Woodersons per-
Torrance until suddenly Hagg
blazed forth with 1862 perform
ance last year and then knocked it
down to 4:04.2 after Arne Anderson,
countryman, equalled his mark.
Hagg was invited here for tour
after setting world records at six
other distances, and no sooner had
he landed in America than Ander-
son started the track world with
4O2.6 record. Hagg. since his ar
rival has been conditioning himself
for a crack at this mark. He set an
American mile standard of 4:05.3
and showed his consistency by fol-
lowing with a 4:05.4 He tuned up
for the distance with two-mile
American record of 8:51.3 at Gin
cinnati Saturday, breaking the
United States standard he set in
Los Angeles by 2.3 seconds.
Now, in his final American ap-
pearance, it's all or nothing and
Gaunt Gunder the wonder has
promised to 60 all out I'm not from
Missouri but he'll have to show me,
for Hagg and his henchmen are
going to find those final 2.6 sec
onds to the four minute mile and
toughest ones of all.

These facts were aScertained today

The problems of processing trans

worked out. How soon the operation
can be put into effect is not known
at this time, although Mr.. Huff
estimated three months should
suffice to complete the practical
aspects.
The actual processing from ink to

the publishers right to lay off union
members "for economy or business

thur S. Meyer, chairman of the State
Mediation Board, and Fred C. Crox-
ton of the United States Concilia-
ton Service, who served as arbi-

Labor Board, the award provided
also for establishment of an adjust
ment board to settle disputes arising
from wartime conditions.
1t recognized the right of each
publisher to expand or contract the
delivery service of his newspaper
and denied complete wartime job
security to the 5000 members of the
union, an independent group.
