Haegg, in running the mile at

Anderson, in establishing the new

slim, galloping figure with the speed
OF the Swedish wind on his spikes
lined up today for what may be the
fastest mile in the American record
book.
1t was Gunder Haegg, of course.
and nobody doubted that he would
pound down to the Kezar Stadium
finish line ahead of three other
starters.
The question rather was:
will Gil Dodds push Haegg
enough to force him to run the best
mile of his career?"
Dodds Given Fighting Chance.
Dodds trailed the Swedish dis
tance champion in Emile races in
Chicago and Los Angeles. But the
fact that the fleet Boston divinity
student won the National AAU
l 500 meters, or metric mile, the last
two years, and was given a fighting
chance in Kezar's four laps, sug-
gested Gunder the Swift may have
to hustle.
Swedish Newsman Gerhard T.
Rooth, who is touring with Haegg,
said his performance depended in
great measure on what Dodds did,
adding:
IF Dodds runs 4:07, Haegg will
run '4:06. And if Dodds runs 4:02,
Haegg will run 4:01."
Two to Step Up Pace.
Stanford's Johnny Fulton and
Bobby Madrid, former Fresno State
College star, both entered with Dodds
against Haegg, were expected to do
little more than step up the pace
for the first half or three-quarters
of the race.
The day for Haegg's first running
OF the mile in this country conceded
with race in Stockholm in which
his countryman, Arne Anderson,
aimed at new 1,500-meter record.
Haegg's mark for the distance is
3:45.8. He predicted Anderson would
better it.
Haegg was the main attraction
OF a track and field show held for
the United States Army Air Force

Return Battle Sought
If Wills Pulls Upset

Seeming the possibility of an up
set when Bob Montgomery, light
weight champion, meets Washing
tons frankie Wills in the 10-round
feature battle of next Tuesdays
hight card at Griffith Stadium, Her
man Taylor, Philadelphia promoter,
is in Baltimore today attempting to
sign Wills for a return bout against
Montgomery. Wills is training in
the Monumental City.
This is safety-first measure
by Taylor. He tentatively has
scheduled Montgomery against Frit-
zie zivic for Philly on August II,
but that fight wouldn't be worth
much if Wills should spring an
upset.
Goldie Ahearn, promoter of Tues
Ny's fight here, also has a bit
to say on the possibility of an up
set. He mentions that business of
Wills upsetting AL Dummy Davis
several months ago, and says he
could do it again After ALL

over, or 1 wouldn'ta booked him
He's tough kid.
I'VE had the same thing here
when Jackie Callura, the feather
weight champion, boxed Lew Han
bury. I tried to tell Callura about
this Hanbury, but would they listen?
So when Hanbury gets the decision
did they howl, oy!"
Montgomery, however, isn't taking
Wills lightly. He went through
another stiff workout yesterday at
Green Acres Club just across the
District line. He spared two rounds
each against Billy Morris and
Aron Perry and another against
Gene Nose Brown, followed by work

Cox, SeweII Apologize

Among baseballs pompous own
ers that is strong language and ap-
parently somebody informed Cox it
wasn't considered correct conduct to
chuck bricks through the windows
of his own house. A few days later
Cox was saying he didn't mean to
say anything that would reflect on
the integrity of the National
Leagues president, that he was
sorry, etc.
SeWell merely came right out and
said what some other American
League managers we're too timid to
voice when he snarled, It's been my
observation after 81 years in this
league that the Yankees never have
anything to fear from umpires.' "
But Luke didn't mean it, at least
not after American League Presi-
dent William Harridge said, IF Mr..
SeWell was correctly quoted in his
brazen statements, all I can say is
that he is silly and very much out
of line as the manager of a club in
the American League" Shortly
thereafter Sewell was saying, 1T
was certainly not in my mind to dis
credit any umpire or any ball club"
The Messrs. Frick and Harridge
prefer to keep their houses tidy and
the haste in which Sewell and Cox
bounced back into print with apollo
gies might indicate the league presi-
dents want that sort of foolishness
stopped. The fellow behind those
apologies, however, probably was
Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands.
Lands doesn't relish vague hints
that baseball is corrupt. He could
order Sewell and Cox to apologize
or else. When Lands speaks the
baseball world quakes for in his
sphere he's the most powerful die
tator any industry ever owned.
In the middle in the Brooklyn
blowoff was hickey, who had the
choice of sticking by Manager Du-

som. He elected to back Durocher

and consequently shipped Newsom

loaflng against the Cubs recently

The Brooklyn mess fnay not be
laundered with those two moves.
Still around is Arky Vaughan, nor
mally as talkative as a half dozen
Blue Points on half shell but an
exchanger of sizzling sentences
with Durocher over the Newsom

gate.
There isn't amuch doubt Du-
rocher will be fired after the sea-
son. Part of the blame for the ex-
plosion may be Rickey's. He hemmed
and hawed in the newspapers be-
fore finally signing Durocher as his
manager last spring, shackling Leo
with a set of card-playing rules
designed to restrict hitherto high
stake gambling among the Dodgers.
Durocher now is confronted with
the problem of handling athletes
who baked against him and it's
no easy assignment. Leo is in COM
mand of ball players who realize he
