CHESTER DAVIS FOR VICE PRESIDENT

It didn't figure in the main req sons for the White House firing of Food Car Chester Davis but the talk about Davis Vice-presiden- tial ambitions didn't help him any.
 One trouble with Davis seems to be that he's smitten with a viru- lent case of vice presidentitis. Friends say he is bitten bad, fan cies himself as an independent midwest farmers candidate Tor the vice presidency next year.
 Chester is definitely on the outs with the two other vice-presiden- tial possibilities. He and Vice Presl- dent Wallace used to be close friends. For years Davis served un- der Henry when he was Secretary of Agriculture But after he be- came food czar, Davis did not set foot in Wallaces office.
 Other potential possibility Is Jimmy Byrnes, with whom Davis has rowed constantly.
 Although Democrat, Davis served for a Republican Adminis- tration in Montana when he was Commissioner of Agriculture and Marketing in 192l-25. Later he served under ardent Republican farm leader Earl Smith in Illinois
 So maybe Chester is ambidextrous and can run on either ticket. Any way a lot of Republicans are for him since he has been causing SC much grief to FDR.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 2l.-(UP)-If Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh continue dipsy -doodling around sec- ond place, the ultimate occupant of that berth may finish with the lowest won and lost percentage of any dunner-up during the 67 years of National league history.
 Brooklyn, now holding second place, has an average of .54S. This ties the all-time low second-placC figure of .543 registered by Brook. lyn in 1902, when Pittsburgh wor the pennant.
 The 1943 National league cam paign has been unusual. The senior circuit is famous for its close pen nant fights. Rarely has any Ma tional club so out distanced the pack as the current St. Louis Cardinals, who clinched the pennant Sept. IS, with IS days of the season re- maining.
 Today the Cardinals are IS games ahead of the second-place Dodgers, who are only one game ahead of Cincinnati and two ahead of Pitts burgh. Weaknesses developed by the three clubs now struggling for sec- ond place caused them to drop far back of the fast-stepping Cards, caused them to carve out unusually low won-and lost percentages.
 The Pirates of 1902 clinched the pennant earlier than any National league outfit before or since. They wrapped up the flag on Sept. 16, with 19 days remaining. That year the season ended on Oct. 5, two days later than the current cam- paign. The Chicago Cubs of 1929 did their clinching with IS days to go; the Reds of 1919, with 12 days; and the Cardinals of 1881, with II days.
 Although the 1902 campaign estab- lished records for early clinching by the Pirates and low runner-up average by Brooklyn, the next low est second-place figures were reg istered in 1914 and 1915. In "A, the Boston rBaves-who were in last place on July 19-made the most amazing surge in baseball history and won the pennant. The New York Giants came second, with an average of only .545. The follow ing season, 1915, the Phillies took the flag, and runner-up Boston had a mark of .546.

B0WLERS TO BUY PLAYING CARDS FOR SERVICE MEN

A million decks of playing cards to the boys overseas Is the aim of the Bowlers' Victory Legion in itS 1043 campaign which is just getting under way. It's a timely campaign, too, because the War Department just notified the BVL officials that "there is a crying need for cards among the men in the armed forces"
 That the bowlers back home ap- preciate the appeal is being demon- strated every day as bowling leagues hold their annual reorganization meetings. The Bowlers' Victory Le- zion notified bowlers of its plans on July 20. While less than 1% of the leagues in the country held meetings during August, the EVIL has been notified of unanimous acceptance to the Overseas Recreation fund.
 The first response to the new BVL program came from bowling prepri- etor Eddie Miller of Rio Nido, Cal, population 50. He sent a check for $47.50 on August to be divided between the Overseas Recreation and the Infantile Paralysis funds.
 Three days later the famous Ram dolph league of Chicago voted to set aside 5c man per week for BVL, establishing them as the first league to accept the EVIL pledge.
 On August 6 the Mccullough En- gineering Go. of Milwaukee organ ized two leagues. They voted $1 per man and each of the 73 men paid on the spot, thus making this the first league to become eligible for the free BVL emblems which are awarded when league dues are paid.
 Five Cent Plan
 The first eastern league to hop on the bandwagon was the Philadel- phia Classic which adopted the Sc plan. Then four Davenport, Iowa, leagues pledged $225 while the Rock Island City league adopted the Sc plan. The Stone Major of Cincin- natl voted and paid $1 per man. The Lloo-doo-Mar Wiltshire circuit of Los Angeles announced the Sc plan.
 The Hackensack, N. J., major league DecdIne the IlTSL CO vote TOT a dime-a-week donation. In former years they had set aside this dime for their annual banquet.
 The Flint, Mich, City league voted a 8 per man pledge to the Overseas Recreation fund. setting the pace with a $240 obligation. The famous Detroit Classic voted for the Sc plan for $l28 pledge.
 John s. Blick, Atlanta, Ga, oper- ator, mailed a check to BVL head quarters for STA on August 20. MT. Blick staged two bowling tourna- ments last spring that were respon- sible for the top figure of $l,709, 900 War Bonds sold.
 Peoria, H., has 51 leagues pledged to BVI4, organizing earlier than the rest of the country. The Caterpil- lar Tractor Co. has 13 leagues in the EVIL and Peoria hopes to become the first l00To EVIL city in the nation. Milwaukee, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Chicago cities report that large numbers of leagues pledge to BVL every day but thus far they have not been able to furnish any official figures.

Jock Lived It Down
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

It is just possible that someone with long memory who delights in having something on somebody will always refer to the stacker" charges against tack Dempsey dur ing the World War of 1914-19l8 which dates particularly from the time Of publication of the ill-fated picture of Dempsey taken in a ship yard, where he was supposed to be working. AS his bad luck would have 1t that day, he wore PATENT LEATHER SHOES.
 Today, at 46 or 47 years of age, he has done bang-up job with the U. s, Coast Guard at Manhattan Beach, teaching the kids how to handle themselves in hand-to- hand combat, WITHOUT FIREARMS OR KNIVES, and, 1t will bear repeat ing, Dempsey always did excel at that style of battle, as those who saw the Firpo and Sharkey fights well know.
 In a recent pool among Amer
 ican men in the armed services
 OVERSEAS the three men
 wanted most were Babe Ruth,
 JACK DEMPSEY and Joe Louis.
 Now, 1t lis a matter of record
 that Louis personal life hos been
 much more exemplary than that
 of Dempsey, yet the soldiers
 want to see the old Manassa
 Mauler in preference to Joe
 Louis, one of the finest cham
 pions of all time and certainly
 a man whom his race can
 point to with pride for the next
 three generations.
 That Dempsey has lived down" his burden of the first World War goes without saying, for if he were still regarded as a stacker" by the fighting men themselves, how could you account for their choice of Jack over Joe Louis? Wouldn't 1t be great if all THREE could be taken to the Pacific theater of war, then to Italy for week or two?

 New Haven, Conn, September 2l -(UP)-Yale was looking for Q kicking specialist today, as the squad went through practice drills to get into top form for the game Saturday with Coast Guard.
 It was the kicking department that was weakest in last Saturdays game with Rochester. when Yale missed chance of tieing the game at l4 all because one conversion went wide and another was blocked. Captain Tim Hoopes, who has had a game lege stince the Muhlen- berg victory two weeks ago, tried the booting.
 Temporarily out of the lineup was Bib Pickett at fullback, because of an injured jaw. X-rays were being made to determine the extent of his injury.

PERKINS PICKS
 DREAM TEAM FOR U UNITED PRESS
By GLEN PERKINS

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, Sept. 2l-(UP)-With the major league activity confined to travelling today, this seems as good 8 time as any to present our 1943 All-Star team.
 We selected only four American Leaguers as against seven National Leaguers, the first time in years that the senior circuit has dom- mated dream team.
 The team, and batting order:
 Bob Elliott, Pirates, 3b; Billy Her man, Dodgers, 2b; Luke Appling White So&, ss; Stan Musial, Cardi- nals, of; Bill Nicholson, Cubs, If; Rudy York, Tigers, 1b; Dick Wake field, Tigers, If, and Walker Cooper Cardinals, c. Our pitching assign ments were drawn by Spurgeor (Spud) Chandler, Yankees; Rir Sewell, Pirates, and Mort Cooper Cardinals.
 The outfield gave us a little trou. ble, but only in the matter of plac- ing the players. We placed Musia i centerfleld, a position he haI played about 12 times this year, ir order to make room for Nicholson ir right and Wakefield in left.
 The first eight hitters have 2 combined batting average of more than .3l5 with thre of them--Mus. ial, Nicholson and Wakefield-bat, ting from the port side.
 The only selection that offered much trouble was in picking Bol Elliott over Arky Vaughan of tn, Dodgers at the hot corner. Eithel would fill the bill.
 The pitching staff is an albright handed corps, but could mow dowr most of the batters in the majors Chandler has a record of 19 victofAe and only four defeats and his 1.T earned run average is the lowest il the majors Sewell has won nor games than any other major leagu pitcher, boasting 8 record of 2l vic tories and nine defeats. Mor Cooper, despite his inability to bea the American League, has recorded 20 victories and nine defeats.

Grossmon Champ At Pequobuck

Terryville, September 21. In one of the best golf finals ever held at the Pequabuck Golf Club, Fritz Grossman won the club champion ship from Julius Sadoski, by a slim margin of one up for the 36 hole match.
 Both golfers played splendid golf in the forenoon round shooting even fours for the eighteenth hole opener to wind up all even at lunch time. They were slightly off in the final round but second creditable 75'S and 76's in spite of the pressure.
 Sadoski started right off carving himself three hole lead in the first four and held it through the first nine. GrosSman came back to capture the 10, II and 18th to even the match. Two deuces by Dadeski on the incoming nine saved him and the match was even at l8. GroSsman showed two strokes from par coming in to rack up a 8. Both golfers have medal scores of 72.
 In the afternoon, 1t was a great battle. The outgoing nine found Grossman winning three, Sadoski two with the rest halved. Cross man was one up at the turn. Both men birdied the 10th but 6adoski evened the match when Grossman three putted the lith. Sadoski re- turned the compliment by three putting the l2th to so one down but won the 18th by to even matters once more. drossman won the 18th to 90 one up and that was the match. Both men finished 44S. 0rossman who lost Q heartbreaking city championship match to Sheriff Joe Harding two weeks ago. thus won his first club championship.
