MARGIN IS SAME
BETWEEN ANGELS,

BY UNITED PPESS

Another week of Pacific coast
league competition has failed to
narrow the margin between San

Francisco was matched for the week
with San Diego.
The Angels split Sundays double
header with San Diego to win the

while the seven inning nightcap
went to the Padres. 2 to l.
Rex Cecil won the nightcap, al
lowing Los Angeles six hits. The
losing pitcher was Red Lynn, who
allowed a run in the second inning
on a wild pitch. Jodie Phipps was
on the mound in the opener.
TWO GAMES
Sacramento took two games from
San Francisco, allowing the Seals
but one hit in each encounter. The
Solons, after losing five games to
the Seals, won the first game, to
O, and the nightcap, 2 to l.
Clem DrieseWerd won the first
game, giving up the lone hit to first
baseman Gussie Suhr, who was the
only San Francisco to hit in the
nightcap, too. In the first game

NEW YOhh, July ~ (UP)
Gunder Hagg, the man of a million
miseries, is limping back to Boston
today for the fifth act of what
promises to become the years out
standing comedy hit.
Hagg, you remember, is the speedy
SWede who last year set seven
world running records and was i'm
ported to demonstrate how this
foot racing business should be
done.
Gunder the wonder has made
four appearances one-day stands
in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles
and San Francisco. The first three
were farcical, but Gunder reached
new heights Saturday in the fourth
act, writing burlesque history with
a performance that makes him a
threat to Abbott and Costello.
SEES FARCE
The scene was advertised on the
athletic worlds marquee as an as
sault on the magic four minute
mile with Gil Dodds, Americas
present day best, in the supporting
role. 1t was a Laurel and Hardy
spectacle, 4:12.3 farce which was
as ridiculous as PadereWSki playing
ragtime.
It's only fair to admit that the
slim Swede has been the first man
across the line in all of his races
to date. But his performances give
rise to the impression that either
Swedish watches can't compare
with those of the Swiss variety for
accuracy or all the tracks in
Sweden are built on a doWn-hill
grade.
OVER RECORD
After nearly two months of con-
ditioning, Hagg is still just another
guy named Joe as far as the rec
ord books go. His first start, al
5000 meters, was almost one minute
slower than his pending worlc
record-set in Sweden. His SECOND
race, in Chicago, was IA seconds
above his pending two-mile mark
also set in Sweden. Making his
third appearance, at Los Angeles
Gunder galloped to an American
two-mile mark. But he still wa:
Al seconds over his Swedish
record.
At San Francisco Saturday the,
shortened the distance to a mile il
the hope that Hagg would approach
the 4:04.6 record he established IL
Sweden. Dodds did his best tt
help the SmorgaSbord special live
up to his reputation. The Boston
divinity student took the early leat
and clicked off the first quarter ir
6 seconds, perfect pace for four.
minute mile. He faltered slightly
on the second quarter but still hac
Hagg in position with a. 81 SECOND
lap for a 2:01 half. Gunder took
over at that point and seeing thai
Dodds had killed himself off, lopez
through the third lap in miser-
able 6 seconds and then logged the
final quarter in 65.3 for a poor
4:123 victory
Hagg has his explanation ready
He had a sore throat and the
cinders were too hard-although
soft cinders would be scientific
miracle. Gunder didn't deviate this
one time. He's had colds, sore
throatS, cuts and bruises, insom-
MIA and a host of other ailments
ever since he landed.
The fact is that the four minute
Hagg apparently is content just tc
win. Such an attitude won't make
his tour a bowling success, but il

east today after a week in this
area, and left behind more argu-
ments about his temperament and
character than about his race here
Saturday.
1t seems to be item No. / on Joe
Fans book to suspect every foreign
star of being "temperamental." :"
Where that theory and Hagg tie
up is something hard to explain.
Hagg's attitude toward running
is one thing that appeared surpris-
ing to some scribes who had long
quoted American sports figures at
length on their love of the sport"
The SWede runs for no such lofty
purpose.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-07-19
WAS BEWILDERED

Hagg admitted that at Chicago
he was bewildered by newsmen
who fired question after question,
giving no time for consideration
and reply through an interpreter.
Perhaps it was there the myth
about his temperament developed.
Certainly, in San Francisco, he
conducted himself just the way you
would expect an American athlete
in Sweden to behave.
On his American tour Hagg will
undoubtedly learn many things
about this country.
We hope he doesn't have to learn
the bewildered desperation that has
struck so many fine foreign ath-
leteS who came here as world
record breakers and found that
their failure to break records in
every race classed them as "over-
rated"
AS a runner Hagg is the greatest
we know today. His record speaks
for itself.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-07-19
WORTHY CAUSE"

Talking to Swedish newspaper
men accompanying Hagg, we were
told that Hagg regards his tour of
America as something to do for a
worthy cause.
His interpreters said the 24-year
old Swede has often spoken of his
desire to quit racing.
Il think it's time for Arne An
dersson to do something" Hagg
said one evening after declaring
that seven records in one year
should be enough for any runner"
Hagg never committed himself
concerning the possibility of run
ming a four-minute mile, although
the Swedish writer's who surround
ed him made no bones about as
suring one and all that Hagg could
do it.
For those who were able to come
in close contact with Hagg during
his stay here, the great runner
left a distinct impression that he's
no prima donna. Any charges of
"temperamental" conduct could
only come from those who failed
TO consider the position of a
SWede in this country, surrounded
by fast-talking Americans, unable
to understand a word without an
interpreter, and unable to speak
his own mind fully in a strange
language.

 Attitude On Cancer
PubIic's Indifference of Former Years UndergOes Cons

Over the past twenty years the general attitude of the American public toward disease has changed from the acceptance of disease as something to be borne with patience and bravery Co an active demand that something be done about lt, In no place is this any more evident than in the public attitude toward cancer, In iD36 Connecticut began work on spreading Knowledge con cerninf cancer Co tho people Of the state. Slowly at first but with ever Increasing momentum this work has progressed until today people are beginning to realize that cancer is a lawless growth of body cells that has no useful function, it should be detected early and removed or destroyed ssoon as possible,
 Has the public applied tho knowl. edge that has been gained concern- Ing this disease during the past few ycarsP Arc physicians seeing more carly and more easily removed cam cer2 Docs the average individual Stlll harbor the old fear and super Stitlon that cancer Is always fatal and nothing can bc done about itp X few figures will show people have learned something ubout cancer and arc making use Of that knowledge.

 Tn 1857 n study Of the hoSpitaliZa- ton of cancer cases was made by a fact finding committee Of tho State Medical Society A report Of this study gave the number of cases hoSpitalizcd for cancer from April 1, lD37, to April l, 1888, These fig urcS have been compared with the lO4O records of hoSpitaliaed cases, using in both instances the twenty three hospitals which supplied the figures of the cancer case load in l940. Tn these institutions there has been a yearly increase of over 10 per cent in the number of pa- ticnts hospitalized for cancer. Fur ther analysis has shown that the total number going to hospitals for cancer in l04i was 63 per cent greater than in 1895, the year cancer program was started in this state. A @ per cent increase in the number of cases of cancer going to hospitals over a slx-year period iS certainly significant especially when careful estimates indicate ap- proxlmately 90 per cent.
