SPORTS TRAIL

, of Ohio's sons who were battling
the Japs.
The first tournament drew 343
starters at S. a head and many
other persons entered - bought
tjckets-who didn't even intend to
play.
A little later, the word came that
ill Army unit made up mostlv of
Port Clinton, O., boys, had been
taken prisoner on Bataan. So the
second tournament was born-for
the prisoners of war.
Two were held last year-one tor
the 37th division and one for the
prisoners of war This years pris.
oner of war tournament was held
only this week and there will be
another one later for the 37th di-
vision.
Funds Go to Soldiers
Money raised for the prisoners of
war is turned over to the Red
Cross. Funds for the 37th Division

chairman of the canteen fund for
the 37th Division Veterans associ-
alton, and is spent for anything
he thinks the boys might like.
Merchants provide the prizes and
every cent of the entry fees foes
to the two funds.
There's another little story, too,
about the war tournaments. Byron
Nelson, the pro at Toledo's Inver-
ness country club and rated as
probably the top-ranking golfer in
the nation, played in the irst one
and it's the only medal play tour
hey he ever has lost in Toledo.
His 70 was good for only second
place behind the SO turned in by
Frank Stranahan, Toledo amateur.

TOLEDO, O., June o. Up -
Probably no other sport has been
as fearful of wartime competition
as has golf, but Toledo inksmen
say they have found the answer.
The golf fathers called off tu=-
naments with AIMING speed when
bombs dropped on Pearl Harbor,
but in this Ohio city they've used
tournaments-just five of them-to
raise approximately $40, 900 for the
9Th division (Ohio's own and the
American Red Cross Prisoner of
War fund.
And Toledoans say that if there
be criticism of wartime tournament
golf let the compliments figure out
how they could have done better.
Here's the story of Toledo's war
time golf:
How It Started
A couple of years ago Marty
C1ornb, then president of the To-
'edo chapter of the Professional
Golfers association, became con-
cerned because nothing had been
done here by the golfers for the
war effort. Using words something
like this, he telephoned Dick Nc
George, golf writer for the Toledo
Blade and said:
I'VE gotta do something"
They talked about tournament
of some kind and just then an Of
flee boy handed McGeorge a pa
per with headline which scream
ed "37th Division in South Paci-
fic."
That was it. They decided to
hold a tournament for the benefit

SHlPYARD PLAYS

The Shipyard baseball team
will seek its twelfth straight
win at $3.50 tomorrow night as
Manager Vic Sorrell of the
Boatbuilders and Camp Davis
Jim "No-Hit" Hearn oppose
each other on the mound on the
American Legion Field.
The strong Shipyard outfit
has defeated Camp Davis
twice this season, but Hearn
did net hurl in either of these
games. Tomorrow's battle will
find the veteran Sorren pitch
ing the last game Of his glory
studded career. Hearn, who reg
istered a no-hitter against Fort
Bragg this season and had a
string of Al innings without an
earned run. is expected to be
a difficult puzzle for the nigh
ty Shipyard stickmen to solve.

SMALL PUCS DRAW
IN GARDEN RING
Bv FRITZ HOWELL

NEW YORK, June 29-REWlth
nothing on tap in Madison Square
Gardens ring until July IA, Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs took time out
today to thumb through his books
to see how he's been doing.
He came up with conclusion that
the war, despite its heavy pugi-
listic talent, hasn't hurt the gate.
He also decided that little fellows
can draw about as well as the big
guys, including the world champ.
For the last three years the 10th
Century Club has sponsored II
shows annually between the first
of the year and the middle of
April, when the circus moves into
the Garden.
And for those II shows, the last
three seasons, the figures show:
Yr. Attend. Rec.
1912 $50, $40 1904, 1873
1943 100, 544 $262,372
1914 1872, 1882 $767, O22
Heavyweight champion Joe
Louis last two title fights, against
Buddy Baer and Abe Simon, are
included in the 1912 figures, low
est of the lot. Joe's clash with
Baer drew 1880 fans and $780,
700, while the farewell appearance
against Simon extracted $132, 43O
from 1920 customers.
Since then the little fellows =
Beau Jack, Bob Montgomery, AL
Davis, Sammy Angott, Willie Pep,
Juan Zurita and such-have belted
the turrstiles over the $4,000 mark
six times, with Bean Jack being
in five of the heavily-attended at
fractions.
The Tami Manufacturing Biv-
ms show of 1943 attraced 1882
fans who paid $75,715, he years
top receipts, but the Beau Jack
Fritzie Zivic event the same year
attracted 21,240 fans.
This year Mau1iello and Kaksi
drew the No. l heavyweight crowd
of 16,015 while Baksi and Lee
Savold hit the heavyweight peak
in receipts with $62,170. However
five fights among the little fel.
lows attracted more FMS than the
big guys and four or them drew
more money.
Beau Jack has proved the big
magnet but he's in the army now,
In seven main bouts, three in 1874;
and our in 1914, the former
Georgia bootb1ack attracted 1885,
TIA fans who paid 1854, 062. That's
an average Of 1896 and $94, 1865

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
Difficulties were encountered
and the sponsors applied for more
financing. The banking outfit
agreed to go along provided FILA
approved. The agency did and it
it increased It's insurance COW
erage to its legal limit, that it,
allowing for a maximum cost Of
$1,000 per room. The money was
said to have been needed to meet
rising labor and material costs,
and CERTAIN changes in plans.
On top Of this, it was later found
that still more money was.reouired
in order to finish the Job
The FILA had gone its limit. The
corporation then turned to
the Reconstruction Finance COR
poratiop where it received 4 credit
extension of $4,000 in exchange
for a junior lien. Last November
the valuation placed upon the pro-
ject was S3,133.ecO.
FILA MAY ACT
It is owing to the continued
inability to complete the project
and the need fo,. moro fioarcino
that the development is being auc-
toned. A source close to the spon-
sors expressed confidence that the
corporation would retain title. A
spokesman for the FILA han no
knowledge Of any new proposal
from the Mayfair group. 1t was
this individuals belief that the
Irving Trust would take title and
would turn it over to The FHA for
completion.
Commissioner Abner II. F'ergu-
son FILA announced last Wednes-
day that his agency is prepared
to take all necessary action 10
speed completion of Mayfair Gar

could be completed in approx
mately six months after resump-
ton.
