Along
BY HAL WOOD

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S. CUP
1t was about week before the
Pacific Coast baseball league swung
into action-on March 3i-that this
column predicted it would be a
year for the sluggers."
AS the pennant chase nears the
halfway mark, the prediction is
becoming reality - even admitted
by the veteran Harry Williams,
secretary of the league.
Williams takes a gander at a
batch of statistics and comes up
with this information:
The eight Pacific Coast league
teams up to June II scored total
of 2685 runs-or 351 more than dur
ing the same period last year. The
total amounts to about 10 runs pei
game, which is high scoring in any
league
And, while a 1927 average won
the Pol batting championship last
year, .327 mark puts Norm De-
weese of the Oakland Acorns in
18th place as of this date.
Emil Mailho, the San Francisco
fly-chaser, is tops with .391, fol-
lowed by such heavy swatters as
Larry Barton, Portland; Jess Lam
drum, Sacramento; Frank Hawkins
Oakland, and George Mcdonald
Seattle, all with marks better than
$50
All the slugging is partly due tc
the fact there aren't enough good
pitchers to feed the batsmen those
sharp-breaking curves and high
hard ones day in and day out.
But some of the finest won and
lest averages in the history of the
league may be hung up by few
of the seasoned hurlers. Given
good chances of winning 25 games
or more this year are: Bob Joyce
San Francisco Q2-5); Roy HelSer
Portland Q1-4); Don Pulford, Port
land q0-4; Guy Fletcher. Sacra-
mento (11-5; Vallie Eaves, San
Diego Q1-5).

Nelson Snashes
10-Year Record

PHILADELPHIA, June 18. CUP)
Byron Nelson, whose speciality is
winning under pressure, made it
plain Monday that no golfer in the
world can top him when he has
his heart set on championship.
That was the way it was Sunday
when he began the final round of
the 72-hole Philadelphia Inquirer
golf tournament one stroke behind
the pace settlers, Harold (Jug) Nc
Spaden and Johnny Bulla. Because
Nelson's putting had been off-form,
the experts said he never would
close the gap.
When Nelson finished his final
round, he had shattered the 10
year course record with a seven
under par So, and he was IL under
par for the 70 holes with 269.
To win, he had to beat his best
friend and host for the tourna-
ment, McSpadden, who entertained
Nelson at his home here, then had
to take trouncing from him on
the links.

Major Leaders
For Pennanf
Draw Set-backs
BY CARL LUNDoUIST

NEW YORK, June 18. CUP) -
Two youngsters and two old men
brought the ambitious Pittsburgh
Pirates and Detroit Tigers down
to earth Monday and made it ap-
parent that any ideas of runaway
pennant races are extremely pre-
mature
The Pirates and Tigers, after
steady climbing, took over the lead
in their respective races last week,
but they looked like anything but
pennant winners Sunday in drop
ping double headers.
Two young Cardinal pitchers,
Rookie Ken Burkhardt and Sopho-
mere Ted Wilks, Inundated the
BUGS at Pittsburgh before 32,936
fans, the largest crowd of the sea-
son, Z to O and to g. Burkhardt,
pitching his first complete game,
gave up five hits
1t was different story for the
Tigers at Chicago as they were
tanned by oldsters, Thornton Lee
and Joe Haynes, to and 7 to 5.
Lee, gaining his eighth victory, ef-
fectively scattered six hits equal
ling his winning record for the past
two seasons. He had only three
victories in 1914 and five in 1943.
Haynes had given up only one hit
and one run before he had to re-
tire in the second game with an
ankle injury suffered in a slide to
third base. Previously this season
he had pitched one-hit victory
over the Tigers, who made four
hits and four runs off his success
sor, Orval Grove. Since the league
leading batter, Tony Cuccinello, left
the second game with a pulled
muscle after making three hits, it
was a costly double win for the
White Sox.
The amazing Dodgers took over
the lead undisputedly, benefitting
by Pittsburgh's lapse and the
Massachusetts, curfew. Playing at
Boston, they handed Morton Coo
per his first defeat after six
straight victories, 9 to 6, then were
saved-at least temporarily-when
the second game was suspended in
the eighth with the Braves ahead,
4 to l. The game will be COM
pleted in August.

ramento Solons after strengthening
their lead in the Pacific Coast league
to Az games over Seattle.
Portland knocked the Rainiers two
full games down in the standings
Sunday with a double victory to

Padres pushed the Solons down to
9Th place by scores of 9 to and 8
to 6. The Hollywood Stars split with
Los Angeles, winning the first game
3 to 2 and dropping the nightcap
5 to q Oakland and San Francisco
also split, the Oaks coming back
for a 2 to 0 decision behind the
one-hit pitching of Mitchell Chet-
kovich after dropping the opener
a to 6.
Charley peterson OF the Seals
drove in five runs to help Bob Joyce
chalk up his 18th victory of the
game
The game was featured by the
second attack on Umpire Bill En-
geln in less than a week. Engeln
called Jake Caulfield out on strikes

Two Wilmington men, w. S

nue., and Marvin B. Murphy, Jr.,
yeoman 1/c, of 209 Keaton avenue,
played roles in one of the most
romantic and dangerous episodes
of the war against Japan, the U. S.
Navy has revealed. They have been
members of a Naval group of guer-
rillas, intelligence agents n d
weather observers behind Japanese
lines in Asia, and helped to supply
the U. S. Fleet, the Army's 18th
Air Force and Chinese and Ameri-
can Army Headquarters wi h
weather reports and intelligence on
movement of Jap ships, troops and
supplies.
Finally the SACO - the Sine.
American Cooperative organiza-
ton - became a fighting outfit,
killing Japs, blowing up trains,
raiding Jap outposts. SACO Amer.
leans, including the local men, be.
came adept at Chinese DISCUSSES
and, guided by Chinese assistants,
slipped through enemy lines when
they chose.
