raped for II hits, coasted to his
14th victory. The Red Sox opened
with two runs in the first inning

and Carl Erskine pitching. Erskine
walked Bockman to load the bases
and Hank Behrman took over. Star
Rojek then broke up the game with
a base-clearing double.
In the original game, the protest
was based on the fact that Behrman
replaced Erskine before the latter
had finished pitching to at least one
batter-in this case Bockman.

Trainer Is Burred
As He Requested
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Earl r.
Convey, a frank-speaking Texan
involved in a dope" charge stood
at a hearing of the Illinois Rae
ing Board yesterday and blandly
told the board members.
I'm innocent of any wrong
doing, but you gentlemen do your
duty. Maybe it's just as well if
you rule me off the turf for life,
and have all other tracks in the
country do likewise, because I
lose between 40 so thousand
dollars a year betting on the
horses"
Shortly afterward the board
accommodated Convey by sus-
pending him indefinitely and re-
voking his 1948 Illinois trainers
license.

Notre Dame, three-time winner
of the Presidents Cup and now
named Miss Frostie with Warren
Avis of Detroit as driver, is ex-
pected here Friday in time for the
18th annual running of the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta Saturday and
Sunday, it was learned today.
Operators of the Mayf1ower ma
rina disclosed that they had received
word from Detroit that Robert Frost,
new owner of the famed old racer,
wanted to launch Miss Frostie at
the Washington Channel marine
railway.
As Notre Dame, the Dusenberg-
powered Gold Cup boat has raced in
numerous Presidents Cup events.
Former owner is Herb Mendelson of
Detroit. Clell Perry drove her to
victory in 1885 and 81 and Dan
Arena in 1910
This now brings the probable
starting field to 10 boats for the
three heat classic.
Two COdSt CrdIt Uue.
Two West Coast craft-Henry ]
Kaiser'S Fleur du Lac and f. Stanley
Dollar, jr.,'s Skipalong-were due
here momentarily.
The Kaiser craft, a product of the
Kaiser Experimental Plant at
Emeryville, Calf, will be competing
in it's first sea-level race.
Up to now it has been raced only
on the mile-high Lake Tahoe in
California and, in fact, only recently
was reconditioned after sinking
there during a Fourth of July re-
gatta.
The West Coast industrialist will
be here to see his creation, formerly
known as Hornet, race under Max
Collins, Kaiser's chief mechanic.
Like virtually every Gold Cup craft
af1oat these days, it is powered with
an Allison airplane engine.
Regatta officials heard only yes
terday that Dollar, member of
the big West Coast steamship fam
lily, had decided to take in the
Presidents Cup race.
Skipalong, designed by Ernest
Fetske, broke down last month at
the Gold Cup races in Detroit and
nothing more was heard from Dol
lar until yesterday. 1t, too, car
ries one of the powerful Allison
engines.
Dollar, SO, began racing in 1890
and has won the so-called Lake
Tahoe championship 10 times since
then.

Boxing Injury Fatal
To Thompson, Fifth
Victim Of Year
BY the Asseeiofed Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.-Bil
(Chicken) Thompson. 21-year-olo
Philadelphia heavyweight, died last
night of head injuries sustained last
Thursday in a comeback" fight
against Johnny Haynes of New
York.
Thompson, the fifth fighter to die
Of ring injuries this year in the
United States, was knocked out by
Haynes with only three seconds re-
manning of their scheduled eight
round bout at Toppi Stadium.
He was assisted to his corner after
the court of 10, but collapsed and
never again fully regained con-
seriousness. Police rushed him to
Naval Hospital and later to Temple
University Hospital, where he died
DR.. Michael Scott performed a
head operation last Friday and de-
scribed Thompson's condition as
improved the following day. Yes
terday, however, the Negro fighter
suffered a relapse.
The Haynes fight was Thompson S
first since last April IL when he
was kayoed by Jimmy Bivins; Cleve-
land heavyweight, in Philadelphia
bout.
The defeat by Bivins threatened
to halt ThompsonS ring career.
Several months ago, however, he
decided on a comeback and signed
for the Haynes bout with the ex-
pressed hope of regaining ring
stature.
Thompson, who weighed in at
1870, sustained a severe beating at
the hands of Haynes, 80 pounds
heavier. The knockout punch in
the closing seconds sent him par
TALLY through the ropes.
Thompson sent another Phia-
delphia fighter, Eddie Franklin, to
the hospital with similar head in
juries in a bout last February
Franklin later retired from the ring.
A former amateur, Thompson
started fighting professionally in
1914, racking up record of "a vic
tories, four defeats and two draws.
Eighteen of his wins were by knock
outs.
The shadow roll" used on racing
horses is sheepskin-type roll worn
above the horses nose just below the
eyes. 1t cuts off the horses view
of the track and avoids shadows.

Mccarthy Is Meda!ist
lin Senior Golf Event
With Fine Tin Rain
THE trouble with that Mccarthy

THE trouble with that Mccarthy
is that he takes his golf seriously, -
one of the competitors in the Mary
land State Senior golf champion
ship said late yesterday at Columbia
Country Club after Martin F.. Nc
Carthy posted a two-over-par Y to
win medal honors in the tournament
by three strokes.
A Y was a splendid score at Co
lumpia yesterday, too; even from
the front tees, as the District Golf
Association president played the last
Is holes in driving rain. But after
all Mac" is only 81, and the senior
golfers look upon him almost as an
intruder.
The starting field probably would
have hit so yesterday on better
day, but at that 20 turned up and
IA of them will continue the match
play phase of the State senior tour
nament starting today, with the
final on Saturday.
It's strange to picture Mccarthy
in a senior tournament. He's been
around for a number of years, true,
and is more of an executive now
than a golf player. He will be presl-
dent of the Maryland State Coli
Association next year, following his
reign in the District.
Mccarthy never has taken his
golf seriously, even when he hit
most of the tournaments. He
earned the sobriquet of Iron Man
few years back for his golflng
antics, and always has been tough
to beat. When they were listing
the 20 best District golfers of all
time few weeks ago, Columbia
pro Fred Mcleod insisted Mccarthy
be on his list.
If anybody in the senior ranks
beats Mccarthy this week over
his home course it will be a major
upset. The former all-round athlete
can play par golf whether he's on
the course daily or once month.
His u yesterday proved that.
L. H. Written, a 59-year-old
Washington Golf and Country Club
senior member who is the District
Senior tit1ist, and who took up golf
at the age of 81, posted commend
able rs for second. The Dos by
E. N. Burnham of Burning Tree,
John R. Miller of Manor, a former
winner, and Capt. I. c. Bagart,

 P-TA Panel Finds Buy Bonds

A spirited discussion of home and school responsibilities was conducted through a teacher parent panel at last Tuesdays final Parent-Teacher Association meeting of the year. Both sides spoke freely on phases of the problem, which was finally re solved to stem principally from lack of parent-teacher and home and school understanding.
 Mrs. Darrell Frank, speaking first, told the group what was expected of the child entering the first grade. She grouped her points in three categories-phy- sical, social and mental.
 Under mental preparation, she listed the need to be able to fol low directions and the need to be able to answer questions. The socially adjusted first-grader, she said, must have courtesy and re- spect for others, needs to know how to play, and needs to know how to listen. For his physical preparation, the child entering school should know how to per form small physical tasks, as ty- ing his shoelaces or putting on his boots, should know how to keep his desk in order and should have some knowledge of the use of pencils, scissors and crayons.
 Miss Dolores Zeis, public health nurse, stated that the health of the child is the joint re sponsibility of parent, teacher and nurse. She said parents could best help by participating in con-

MvFCA Factions Disagree Over Regulations
Coop Members Begin Duel OverBy-Laws

A battle of the bylaws ap- peared looming before opposing factions in the membership of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Association today. Latest developments in the mem bership quarrel reveal the in- tention of one group to oust six members of the present board of directors, while members of the opposing faction hope to counter that move by declaring a planned recall meeting illegal and there fore unofficial.
 The latest move and counter move was precipitated by the circulation of two petitions among the membership, one de- manding the recall of board members Pat Hemmer, O. R. Carson, Oscar Kertulla, Harold Stephan, R. E. Brock and Carl Rasmussen, and a second setting April 29 as the date for that meeting.
 The seventh board members, Clair Patten, is not named in the petition.
 The recall petition sets forth that the six named should be re- called for the following reasons:
 (l) Their election was never official. according to Coop by laws. since they were named to office by exclamation rather than by secret ballot as the rules provide.
 (2) R. E. Brock. one of the six. cannot legally hold office as a board member because he is an owner is a business estab- lishment which conducts busi- ness with the Coop. which is specifically prohibited in the bylaws.

Railroad Bridge Partly Destroyed By Night Fire

A burned out section of the Matanuska Bridge stopped all rail traffic between Anchorage and Palmer between the hours of 10 o'clock Tuesday evening and sometime late Wednesday afternoon. No mail was delivered in Palmer on Wednesday as re- suit of the accident.
 -sFirst discovered by a Mata- nuska native at about 10 o'clock Tuesday evening, the fire, of un- determined origin, burn d through four stringers and 16 ties before it was controlled. The ac- cident delayed the southbound Au-Ro-Ra from Fairbanks at Matanuska Tuesday evening.
 Col. John Johnson, general manager of The Alaska Railroad, who was in Palmer Wednesday, said investigation had revealed nS trace of hot cinders or sparks as the cause of the fire. He was at loss to explain it's origin.
 A section crew from Eklutna was called to the spot and worked part of Tuesday and Wednesday to effect repairs.
